monthly cost of van life on the California coast 🌊 🚐 💰

[@brightharbor_]

You young people are living the life I dreamed about, but was too scared to actually go for (and regret to this day). I’m glad you’re out here making the most of it! And it’s good you talk about the pitfalls of van life as well-it’s important info for anyone looking to do this lifestyle.

[@wisdomochei]

It's never too late. I hope someday you'd be able to travel as you like 😃

[@AlanBrighto]

What keeps you from doing it still?

[@brightharbor_]

@@AlanBrighto I’ve just grown out of adventure. It happens to almost everyone once they pass a certain age. It’s just life.

[@HORNGEN4]

​@@brightharbor_ I don't think it's an age thing. I think it's a personality and circumstance thing. Don't have kids? Are you physically fit? Are you financially able? Then why the hell not?

[@enhancedutility266]

It's just a rehash of what young people did in the '60s and '70s That's where the original concept of van life started

[@waldennn.]

Is it cheap? No, but if you take into consideration that it costs around the same as rent but not actually paying rent/you get to do whatever tf you want, sounds like a great idea ngl

[@boundariessetinstone5893]

It’s way cheaper my rent, utilities is $2000 a month I could be putting up $1000 a month for retirement while on adventures. And if you live in a bad neighborhood like I do you can escape that. Cause to live in a nice area it would cost me between around $3000 a month in rent and utilities. I rather live in a nice vanhome and go to nicer areas then live in my apt in a bad area. Oh and you won’t have to deal with the loser ppl who play loud music day and night, slam doors day and night, scream through out building day and night. That is the low class stuff you will deal with when you live among a certain demo in poorer areas.

[@SpookyBlueNStuff]

Freedom is priceless- you are brave and beautiful

[@Balliant]

Your living how life should be lived!! Your fantastic xxx

[@LaoSoftware]

Enjoy life while you're young. When you get older, you won't have time to have fun. You'll be busy working 40 hours a week, paying bills, and other responsibilities

[@Ashley_Mo]

I really appreciate how honest this is. I feel like a lot of people try and make it seem like the “van life” is a cheaper option but it’s definitely not cheap. However, it’s a sacrifice worth taking if that’s your lifestyle which if you have the funds, I think is amazing!

[@AlanBrighto]

Definitely, my words, thanks!

[@bigdrawsbihhh6487]

those expenses could easily be cut in a half or even a 3rd but he clearly ate out a lot and moved from place to place. You can have the same lifestyle and cut cost by conserving in different areas….

[@usernumberinfinity4090]

It is cheap relative to rent . You still spend money on food, phone, car insurance and even gas while living in apartment. Also a studio. Is 1500-2000 anywhere on the coast in California so spending 300$ on for gas is a lot cheaper

[@lif3l3ssgaming]

thousand dollars isnt even my rent alone unfortunately and im in a small apartment one of the cheapest within 200 miles of me. so yeah vanlife is still cheap af and they are eating out and traveling...

[@PaulWalkert]

Ashley your az stinks very badly

[@Angel-2412]

I loveeee this channel. I’d been living like that all last year and plan to again in the future 🎉 Glad you’re giving the reality of it with some beautiful highlights

[@Faze_Drifts]

I hope KZbin pays off for you brother , God bless you have safe travels man ! I was pronounced brain dead 2021 life is what you make it have a great day

[@Balliant]

I love your new friends & your journey, keep going!! Best wishes from Britian xx

[@nikolaklier8300]

This is wild to me, I'm at UCSB and have been considering van life to dodge rent prices for the rest of the time I'm here. Shout out IV bagel cafe!

[@bamboozi]

This is so beautiful!

[@michaelkline884]

I’m old enough to be your grandfather and I say TRAVEL! I had a chance to live with my uncles family in a big house outside of London when I was 25 He said to fly over and he would take care of me They had 4 kids I was too stupid to borrow the airfare to get there and I still regret that! Good luck kid!

[@piperreilly97]

You're in my backyard! Love your videos, and hope to see you on the road.

[@eedanshwartz3250]

I graduated a while back, but its always nice to see people enjoying Bagel Caf and IV! Its such a gorgeous place

[@divinelyguidedwithmaxx5481]

Man the food looks good this is so nice

[@coldwater4391]

Ragged Point is so gorgeous, that part of the coast is so underrated. Looks amazing!

[@londoncarter9114]

“But I got to go on an adventure instead” makes me feel like I’m not doing anything with my life🤣🤣😭

[@itsmdnight]

I love this so much. Your life seems so full of

[@jonas5000yuki]

I was in Spain for 6 months with my van. It is realistic to expect 1000 per month. If I'm lucky and there are no repairs to the van, the costs are 700 per month. (for me)

[@stone2947]

How funny I just moved from California to Kansas, and I have a ton of family down where you stayed!

[@boundariessetinstone5893]

Are you from Cali how’s Kansas id be scared of tornados.

[@user-mj7gm6gj9v]

He lives in a van DOWN BY THE RIVER!

[@NahBra_EUC]

I camped in my van in that exact same spot in Big Sur haha. So peaceful!

[@DOMDOM-iv3ci]

Thanks for sharing, enjoy!

[@reza2251]

Living the dream bro. Good for you.

[@AllorNothing-]

Enjoy it while it last. Age, health and circumstances may change things in a heartbeat.

[@angelaonthego]

Isla Vista!!! I know exactly where that eucalyptus parking spot is; and Bagel Cafe! Ah memories

[@jackiebrown5003]

Wonderful, young, and fully living life. Love it.

[@13apinoe]

Hey man, glad you got to experience Santa Barbara culture!

[@meep2253]

Santa Barbara is so dreamy. I took a trip to the botanical gardens and also Ventura. I wanted to sell my home and move there 😂😂😂 I love California everywhere you go there’s something to see.

[@JennZtv]

Thanks for putting this into perspective

[@serenanicholas1378]

🥳looks like fun

[@invaderzim7033]

Not gonna lie i recommend something like this for a young person 18-25 with no responsibility a person with grow and mature alot

[@davewolf8869]

I built a live in camper van and decided to spend two days in it, parked under some beautiful trees in a meadow. 2 days turned into 8 months. I'd still be in it if it wasn't for my fiancee. Only went to my home to shower.

[@HaraldET]

How do you earn money in the van?

[@thedevilinfrankenstein6503]

I been wanting to that for years. Travel around America 🇺🇸. Cool video, share more but be safe out there fella.

[@BluuJourney]

Way younger than me and only spent 85 dollars on car insurance. I have a Commercial Driver's license, no accidents, and i'm spending way more on car insurance. It can't be full coverage auto insurance for $85.

[@littleceasar9351]

You should really give credit to the Buzzcocks for the song.

[@tommykempo8962]

That looks like a great thing to do nice one 👍

[@juanmejiagomez5514]

Perhaps you’d be able to live off of the van as the average guy if you just did doordash as the way to pay for everything. That would also help you discover interesting places in cities and towns, though it probably isn’t worth it in places with high traffic

[@falleenstars]

Broooo what ur literally living my dream the definition of a ture fun life😢🎉

[@MaryGrace62]

Does the insurance company know that you are living in your vehicle and driving the country? Just curious.

[@andrewjones9991]

Very inspiring. This is this generations version of the hippie "turn on, tune in, and drop out"

[@josephphillips5894]

How did you find groups of people also living on the road?! I’ve been car camping for 5 months now

[@deannarid]

That is interesting I wonder the same too ! It could be that the people he finds to hang out are already part of some of the groups friends . Or possibly while driving you find people his age and find out that they do the same . Do you have a group of friends your with or by your self

[@daveforz]

people come to you when ya got a following. for regular people you just gotta put yourself out there. say hi, go to events, or join a hiking group.

[@shotdenied]

How do you do health insurance?

[@erikh9991]

California gives free healthcare to bums and illegals over 55. My son has to pay $981/mo for his health insurance because he owns his business. My son is paying for this slacker!

[@MrBoshell.]

Sweet, do it while you can bro, enjoy your youth

[@lilyanaalvarez3539]

It’s way cheaper I live in a studio for 1550 and that d doesn’t even include food costs, gas costs, basic needs

[@marshallmom1962]

Your van is paid in full? No flat tires? Etc... Very cool! Love the idea of this. Not sure I could really do it.

[@WestsiderSC]

Announced a quarter of the trips cost to try and make the whole authentic lifestyle attempt look attractive.

[@ArusGuide]

😮very interesting video

[@lameborghini6980]

I don’t want to commit to van life, but I still want to experience it at least once- I need to befriend people like this 😂

[@paulmcneill2692]

Can you suggest any stopovers with great views. Renting a rv next year

[@comunityblogger8729]

Where do you put your van at the first place..? When u out somewhere? 🙏🏻

[@PebbleBeachLife]

In my country, if I lived in a van and it broke down on the road, I would be as good as dead.

[@cubes1990]

Thats me all over the only problem with me is the inferred canera thats why i do what i do

[@massagesteve]

Dang! Charlie surfer fit! 💪💪💪

[@HopesAndSons]

Save money and explorer that's the way it should be one love from Hopes Dragon and Sons. ❤

[@yurngo1109]

We still don't know what the main source of income for fellas like you on the road. That would be great to hear, surely KZbin alone won't be enough to cover all the bases.

[@Idk.org5]

How do you pay for road-tripping and stuff?

[@demetriusking5458]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@beatbox_boss3664]

I can’t believe I’m typing this, but I wish I had friends, I literally have zero friends 🥺😢

[@jamesdeluca]

Van lifer like myself.... You my man know how to truly live free❤..... Im from California and just dipped out here to Arizona, why? Well because my house is on wheels and I can, so I do 😂

[@Me888Q]

I'll tell you like I told the rest of the nomads to join the GPAA I have a lot of property in California and everywhere and you get the pan for gold or you can just enjoy scenery on a piece of property where nobody can say anything to you about it I am a life member and all the property is like your property and if you become a life member they give you a badass metal detector and some other things just letting you know check into it.

[@felimonespinoza8601]

BOUTA START MY VAN LIFE TOOO LET'S BE FRIENDS !

[@IEatBubble]

how do you go about showering and hygiene and stuff?

[@enhancedutility266]

Try a 24-hour gym the go-to is usually planet fitness or 24-hour fitness if they still have a 24-hour location because some have reduced their hours

[@klnmn3722]

lived in Isla Vista for a while, I bet you fit right in there

[@Coach_MarcyBob]

What do you do for a living?

[@Dog_gone_it]

Just cuz you're dodging the housing crisis doesn't mean you can't save for retirement. You're spending wayy too much on food.

[@hunter54479]

how do you pay your bills do you do it online or what?

[@tvpittybull5502]

[@RyanMiller-vn5kz]

[@aimaction7393]

WHAT ARE THESE VEHICLES. YOU COULD PROMOTE THESE VEHICLES.

[@Shandilier]

California tip, stop in the Central Valley it’s cheaper and there’s way more parking spots for van life people. It’s a nice stop to take break on you’re wallet

[@dexterdouglas]

"im not in the gousing crisis.." said the grown man living in a van. 😂 Mate, you are the housing crisis.

[@fajardiniarikamil2712]

Hey kyle good day to you
