As a mechanic I've worked on several aircooled and watercooled Vanagons. If you keep up with the maintenance, they are awesome. The ride is superb. Great short film.

I lived in my syncro for almost 2 years with my dog. I’m a doctor. I didn’t have to, I just liked it. I own 2 Syncros now including an original westfailia high top from Germany. I’m more settled now, but the dog and the vans are still at the center of my adventures. That looks like Wyoming. I hope you have a furnace. They make winter pretty nice.

Amy, I'm fascinated with your story behind it & how it all started. It's not just about campervan & overland but includes our personal life & our happiness. You've probably made one big decision to move ahead with your dreams & see the world. Everyone has the similar dream but not everyone has that privilege.

I just loved it then life happened, but I'm glad to say I'm back in the market been looking for your exact model. 91 vanagon it's the last of the fun driving vws(eurovans stink) as far as I'm concerned.

What a GREAT film. I feel exactly like this lass did before she packed up and walked out. I’m tired of the same routine everyday. I love my family and wouldn’t leave them behind though. I take them with me. I’m not well off like she was but I understood why she felt like she needed to get out and explore the world in a Vanagon. I’ve dreamt bout owning and traveling all over in a Westy/bus since I was a wee thing. Good things take time to those who wait I know. I feel like the time is now to make a leap of faith and really start looking for a ride to travel in to fulfill my dream. Peace love and happiness doesn’t just happen, you make it happen. ☮️
