➤ ABOUT US: Hi! We’re Nick & Raychel, and we want to help people open their eyes to alternative living, whether that be teaching English online, moving to Cambodia, taking advantage of working holiday visas, or building a DIY stealthy camper van to live & work on the road. Nothing is off limits when adventure is the ultimate goal. After three years of living full time van life throught Canada, Mexico and the USA, we're now car camping our way through New Zealand in a Land Rover Discovery 1.
Our goal here is to bring you weekly content where we hope to inspire you to break free & live the life you desire. On this channel, we talk everything from finances to minimalism to working online to mindset and post a weekly vlog of our daily lives. We hope you join us on our journey to see the world, save money, live minimally, and most importantly, have fun.
So if you're looking for a channel about van life, alternative living, and budget travel, you're in the right place.

Well - this overnight boat in Doubtful Sound may have overtaken The Catlins for the title of my most favourite trip in New Zealand so far. But hey - you guys already know, we love the water. Thanks for watching!

[@PaulSmith-bb7lv]

Doubtful Sound is definitely the better option in my opinion. Less of the noisy tourists, very similar scenery and still one of the best places to visit (New Zealand, that is)

[@nickandraychel]

Totally agree!

[@itscarolinemary]

I think this is one of my fave videos of yours, just so many stunning shots ❤🥹

[@nickandraychel]

Yay - thank you - we love it too except for the funky audio hahaha not sure what kept happening but hey add it to the list of things we need to troubleshoot

[@BarbaraMulligan-v8m]

So pleased you did Doubtful Sound. Most folk only dscover Milford. Both are great but the less frenetic pace in Doubtful Sound is advantageous for experiencing the atmospherics. IMHO!

[@nickandraychel]

It really is spectacular

[@BrentKelly5]

Beautiful footage...glad you are enjoying your time in NZ.

[@nickandraychel]

Thank you. We really are 🥹

[@christophermarshall527]

We were a bit rushed in Manapouri but it looks so cute!

[@mith60d]

One of the things I love about you guys and your content is that you take the time to reply to those who comment on what they see. Keep it up. You are both very refreshing..But you are Canadians after all...

[@nickandraychel]

Exactly haha! It did sting a little bit, but the views made up for it

[@xtasy010]

Great Dolphin expression 🤣

[@nickandraychel]

Spot on, I’d say 😅

[@Ratatonho]

Guys, i'm brazilian, and i love to watch your videos, i'm planning to go to new zeland, and these videos are simply perfect to me!!

[@johnsnake3467]

Kayaking and looking down into deep black water not knowing what’s below. Sounds horrifying.

[@nickandraychel]

Haha I guess when you put it that way…

[@nzfreeski]

Hey thanks for the great clips! As a kiwi who lives in Maine, I love seeing home! Just got back from Te Anau :) The weather makes the place as you folk get!!

[@nickandraychel]

Thanks for watching :)

[@jonma95p]

The water is black in colour from all the fresh water picking up the tannins from the trees in the bush

[@nickandraychel]

It’s so beautiful and interesting

[@grahamcook9289]

Doubtful Sound is best in the rain. That's a good one. 🤣 Young people are so naive.

[@nickandraychel]

We did Milford Sound in the sunshine and wish we had rain. The waterfalls weren’t nearly as full and boastful as they were at Doubtful Sound after rainfall. We’re from British Columbia - we are very aware of how rain affects landscapes & waterfalls & makes them much, much more lush.

[@grahamcook9289]

​@@nickandraychel You have obviously never been to Yosemite in the early summer, from park opening to early June. Give it a try, because if you like waterfalls then you will not be disappointed, and it doesn't need rain as the falls are snowpack melt fed. It is definitely better in the blue sky sunshine. And it's significantly closer to BC than NZ.

[@Moamanly]

1:33 How about not recording whilst driving mate?

[@nickandraychel]

Do you not talk and drive? Lol

[@Moamanly]

@@nickandraychel Not on a device while looking away from the road-no. Illegal in NZ btw.

[@nickandraychel]

He’s not on a device lmao I’m holding the camera

[@grahamcook9289]

Why R U wearing a woolly hat, with raised hoody no less, indoors?

[@nickandraychel]

It’s just what I like to wear

[@RossNixon]
