The no talking was so calming. Forgot about my anxiety.

[@AliSophiaThroughMyEyes]

I agree. Not that he needed to. Everything he's doing is quite transparent.🤍

[@gloriamariadc7757]

Same here.

[@beekind6267]

Great video! ❤

[@recklessmods9941]

The fact he transitioned the toy car on the map to his actual van is TOUCHEE’ Keep up the good content bro!!

[@BeanCasserole-wg7wu]

Yeah I loved that, it was a cool touch. Definitely worth picking up the toy van.

[@AshleySmithh]

That part was so cool! Idk why but it reminded me so much of breaking bad and better call saul

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

“Touchee”?

[@rayu7191]

The diamond shape of the mao transitioning to the shadow of the van was lit

[@CheeseLayong]

The audio and camera angles during the journal writing are insane. Like i'm watching a movie.

[@NoteFromSELF]

And he writes in a cute font.

[@kuztrades]

just came across your channel, was ready to go on a binge watch and came to realize theres only two videos. WE WANT MORE!

[@evanduan1758]

WE WANT MORE

[@sandyj8222]

I was soooo bummed! Am home sick and wanted to binge watch as well!!! 😂😂

[@Aprilwoodz]

No fr…

[@yakinrim]

Same 😂

[@poostayne]

I feel like he has very artistic videos and therefore requires alot more time to create them before uploading. Where as if you Ryan Twomey his are very relatable and down to earth.

[@diablobeats4771]

This video is a masterpiece . the vibe , the emotions , the editing , the color grading , the sound mixing ...immaculate .

[@briansimpkins985]

[@user-bj8zq2lb1z]

💯 percent agree.

[@user-bj8zq2lb1z]

Subscribed and saved so I can come back to it. This was gorgeous. Watched it 💯 percent through. Editing, sound, colour grading, the story telling through the diary and the transition from toy van on the map to real van in the parking lot, brilliant. The ideas were non-stop. I’m sure the editing took forever to do but bro, soooooo worth it. Inspiring.

[@KongPham]

Phenomenal ending edit starts at 20:25. Great job! So incredibly beautiful!

[@zeytelaloi]

bro you didn't see the amazing toy van transition at the start

[@angrynerdrock]

Actually starts at 20:14 Dont wanna miss the sunrise shots

[@MAAAAPLE]

Wow what a small world. I remember watching you and Jesse(?), forgot other dude's name, on simple pickup. Dope to see what you've become.

[@demproblems]

When I saw the transition from your toy to your van, I subscribed! Another van life I want to follow, another guy living my dream life that I will never live

[@sandyj8222]

That was awesome how he did the toy Van than his!! He is amazing!!

[@LMTHAP]

Yep, that was amazing.

[@deth3234]

What makes you think you'll never live it?

Same. Thumbs up and subscribed immediately

[@ExploreInformed]

Same, I "rewound it," watched once more, and then hit the subscribe button!

[@katbozues]

He's truly made himself the lead character...and to top it off, that is the coziest looking van I've ever seen...phenomenal work dude!

my favourite is still ttthefineprinttt's van, but this is seriously dope too.

[@ItsVasco3456]

Without noticing it in first place, I just realized this was the only video I managed to watch all the way through without skipping a single second recently. I really appreciate all the effort you put into this small movie and all the amazing small editing details. It makes you forget about life and it's never ending worries and teaches you to appreciate all the value in the little things.

[@Anon_7-2]

this is hands down the best van-life content i've ever seen. amazing camera work, will be awesome to watch you grow into the millions of subscribers.

[@aiyannabentley8312]

this is ART. i actually felt so many emotions with the journal segment and the music choice! you've captured everything so beautifully !

[@InverseMyInvestmentAdvice]

Agreed, those views, the angle, edits all 10/10

[@Jojo01171]

He’s so organized and clean, the interior of the van is very charming !

[@mattca353]

Basically everything in this video ooze intend, care, discipline and order. Instantly subscribed

[@Antdevv]

Crazy how the algorithm is pushing this out to everyone 2 months later.

[@mizzstizzie]

Okay so the youtube algorithm Gods blessed me this morning because this was the first video it recommended to me and I'm OBSESSED. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS INSANE. In the best way. Its super chill and cinematic. From the food, to the scenic views, to the journaling in the end!! I know this channel is gonna blow up and I'm so happy to be part of the 10k subscriber crew. Wishing you much success for all of your hard work and sharing your adventures with us. God Speed and God bless ❤

[@briansimpkins985]

That is going to be me of the most epic journals ever !! Date with caption and picture ….

[@jaredboone8648]

What a beautifully refreshing piece of art. No yelling, no competitions, no ad reads, just someone documenting an interesting thing, in a cool way. Cant wait to see your adventures.

[@Supercharged1976]

Dude! That breakfast sandwich was a work of art!

[@shandelle]

I have followed so many vanlife channels for years now but already fell in love with yours after only 2 videos! Your cooking is awesome and the scrapbook pics at the end is so endearing.

[@BigKorea217]

One of the times KZbin algorithm works right. I went into your video thinking it was another "van life" vlog and was going to play it in the background while I did chores. I literally stopped what I was doing and was hooked that first opening shot. I was immersed in the world you created and could not wait to watch more only to find out there are only two vids uploaded so far 😭😭 Everything you've put out so far is so unique and captivating. The vibe, cinematography, editing, transitions, music and that transition shot with the toy van 🔥 And it took me all the way to the end of the video to realize no one was talking. Damn. so good. Can't wait to follow along and see everything you do. Keep up the awesome work!

[@beyondblessed2752]

I love his concept and ways he captures the moments. He has such a unique eye for detail and I can’t wait to see his channel blossom like some of my favorites

[@lewisyoungg]

Felt like a timeless start to an awesome journey! Best of luck 🤞

[@CatonBittnerGolf]

I wish channels were like stocks, because we’re all here early and we’d make bank on your success. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you man, solid content!

[@briansimpkins985]

[@Sam-dk7zl]

omg i was thinking to myself this is an oscar level youtube vid lol

[@knowntoache]

Perfectly said we’re all making it rain 😂

[@3gmom408]

Ok I finally found the best van life video. I have seen numerous people posting about van life. But they TALK ALL THE TIME ! Why would I want to spend 30 mins listening to people talking to the camera. I want to see how van life is all about ! Not talking and laughing to the camera.

[@RedMay33]

I was lost in this video. Just simply entranced in each moment. What a joy to watch. Such a real feeling.

[@onizuka255]

18:53 that Cyberpunk ending 😢😢 dude you're Editing and style of video is out of the world. Hope to see more 👍🏾

[@knowledgeafterdusk9572]

It's been so long since I've seen genuine effort and passion being put into a KZbin video. Amazing quality, bravo honestly

[@cyberking158]

Sucks to be you if u struggle to find quality on KZbin it's you known fault lol

[@DoctorJuicee]

keep up the amazing work Charles! thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

[@leegalecio]

Bro I’m so happy for you! You’re living the life I wanna live before I get too old. You’ve inspired me to start my own van life experience. Keep up the good work man!

[@IIKeRsEyII]

Wow. I was about 1:15 in when I thought "This videos so well done. This guy has got to have a lot of subscribers." Keep up the good work and I have no doubt you'll be one of the top vanlife youtubers.

[@TheAngelArrow]

21:06 bro that shot, ain't no way u put it there then had to drive back there after the shot if so, respect for the dedication

[@RonPaulKicksAss]

21:40 as well.

[@EnergyHunt3r]

The sense of aesthetics and art in this video is mindblowing. So calming

[@willakana3369]

A frikken masterpiece. The transition from the car to the map, the effort it took to get the wideshot in the desert of the car driving from left to right. Geez, what artistry.

[@HG0104]

Oh wow! This guy is unreal, only two vids, this has to blow up, the cinematography is incredible

[@dunl]

Your energy healed mine, thank you, this is art.

[@hannahholmes5861]

This was like a short film, not just a standard a day in vanlife. So relaxing and calming! Amazing transitions!

[@ValleyDigitalMarketing]

This is art. Glad I found your channel Charles.

[@Nightingale019]

And this is the -first- video?? Outstanding my guy! I almost wish I found you later so I could binge watch it all. Love the camera work and all the cooking. Excited to see more!

[@cstromquist]

Living vicariously through your videos man. Look forward to your next one!

[@christea-xv]

Love your style of video, peaceful and well-paced. The little snapshot photos interspersed throughout are a nice creative touch.

Doing all these things by yourself is unbelievable. Good luck Charles !

I mean, where do I begin? I don't know how this popped up on my feed but I'm so happy it did. This was amazing. Amazing editing quality. I love your life. You're also cutie, keep posting.

[@munashekanyepi1547]

Unbelievable editing, the best van life video I’ve ever seen. The thought and time that must’ve went into this and the ending was something out of a movie keep up the great work bro

[@vincelettoe]

the visuals of this vlog is so great!! i love this video

[@jeremypearson1352]

Incredible video!!! This is so exciting!!

[@Ahmet34k]

I've been following vanlifers for 6 years and your videos are clearly at the top when it comes to quality. My friendly advice here, if it takes a lot time to produce this level of quality, drop it. No one would mind. Consistency goes a long way when it comes to expand your audience. Best of luck!

[@charlesliu50]

I really appreciate the feedback! It’s really just my job right now that’s blocking up all my time :( But I’m working on a plan to optimize some stuff and be able to post more often.

[@orcishh]

@@charlesliu50 I've always been curious about the work life of these van-lifers. Do you do computer work? Or do you have a home destination for your van? I'm hoping to get a job in web development or something else tech related that I can do remotely to pursue a similar lifestyle :)

[@markwilkins9048]

I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve been traveling the country in my van for years; watching van life videos since 2016. 95% are small variations of the same thing. The quality production of your videos adds an element of entertainment not present in most others. I know it is time consuming and labor intensive to make such videos, but please keep up the great work.

[@jaredblaschke7767]

So excited I found your channel early on, this video is phenomenal. I can't wait to see what you have in store!

[@dukedongflap]

Amazing! Absolutely nailed that edit!

[@lesliehunter1823]

I loved the fact that there was NO MUSIC and then there was FANTASTIC MUSIC. BTW the french put the chocolate right in the milk and wisk well past the point of it being dissolved then it transforms into a sumptuous thick drink.

[@brendenian]

Excited to see more videos as time goes on, fantastic!

[@Parzival.007]

Awesome video! Keep up the great work. I would love to live vicariously through you and experience van life from the comfort of my home! Glad I found you!

[@dark_keivy]

Honestly bro I loved the editing 0:47, 10:46 and 20:00 you are really good at this. It gives Texas/Mississippi vibes bro. We can't wait you to reach 2m+ subscribers. Your editing is so spectacular 🤩 loved it

[@haloKINGSstudios]

Bro, you're living my dream! I love travelling and the outdoors, but i'm also a pretty passionate gamer at heart. This is really the only way to meet both worlds. I'll keep dreaming and I hope you keep uploading :)

[@Bartowskish]

Yep definitely the best vanlife content you’ll find! Hats off to Charles!

[@rainaw0924]

Love the vibe. Love the day spent with you on the van, my dream lifestyle at the moment. ❤

[@vincefilms13]

So glad I found this! After I saw your red dead redemption 2 video, I became a big fan of yours and really looked forward to more of your work. Super cool to see you living that van life.

[@thegamers5313]

[@gabysalazar7263]

I love the vibe, especially with the country music and all. Super chill. The van set up is amazing too. Keep it up. More videos please

[@cr8tvt]

That was an awesome story telling without a single word said. Way to combine still shots, POV vids, still drone footages and short clips into a short movie. Editing was on point and I am sure it took a long time. Looking forward to the next vid. Congrats Charles!

[@sophieb8666]

Cool rig thoughtfully designed, a place for everything & looks good too. Cool to see what a full day looks like. This guy enjoys his day., cooking etc & the egg sandwich was innovative
