I am probably in the minority, but I honestly enjoy watching the more mundane things like laundry, grocery shopping and dining in a different city. It strips away the veneer of tourist sites and shows a snap shot of everyday living in these cities.

[@LANEZZ-jv5ok]

Me too.

[@AnAussieinAmerica]

I think there are more people that like/need this than we know.

[@islandgirl5472]

Aloha Ryan - Only someone who is secure, confident and at peace with himself is able to live this lifestyle. There’s so much “glamorization” of van life but you keep it real which is why your subscribers are growing in numbers I’m a slave to the 9 to 5 and your videos are therapeutic for me. Thank you for all that you do & remember you are never alone, you have 150,000 plus on this van life journey with you ❤️

[@augere9620]

[@trecker2649]

Wow

[@bodieacreatureIII]

@@trecker2649 Gothic Cheerleaders will never make sense.

[@Thomipangang]

You are not a slave… if you want a country to run you will need people like you. I would praise you more than Ryan 😊

[@hamed2890]

I wish i had money to tip

[@jan-erikengels5998]

I'm in Europe ... and there are times when I thought I was doing "it" wrong as most VLOGs are so different to my reality on the road. Thank you so much for cheering me up.

[@kathyamick2327]

Ryan, I am 66 years old and still working my life away. I only have 3000 dollars in my savings. I only get 1065.00 a month so I cant really retire. I have to work a 30 to 35 hour shift at Academy as a cashier. I'm on my feet from 6 to 8 hrs at work. I wish so much I could just buy a van, quit my job and just do what your doing. I love watching your videos. Love your cute little van. It looks cozy. I am going to try some of your recipes for food.😊 Have a good day.

[@ivanvinjar8960]

Hi, Jan, have a nice day wherever you are at the moment.

[@WdawgSmith]

Thanks for the videos man I can’t put my finger on why I love them exactly. But just seems like your not bullshitting anything I guess is the best way to put it. Appreciate it You help me get through days when my anxiety is super high over some dumb stuff.

[@breeethompson]

i love that you show this type of view for van life !! gives us a better perspective on how life actually is for people who don’t live in a house and are constantly traveling :) it’s a huge difference and honestly so impressive to see you survive on the road in just a van 😊 I love your videos thank you for bringing us along your adventures!

[@T_track]

Man I felt bad when the bottle spilled. I kinda understand how ppl who do van life feel but not as hard as what I seen some have had to deal with. Love the videos excited to see how the rest of this trip goes

[@OutdoorPhotographerChan]

One of the best videos you've ever made man! Love that you're willing to show the more realistic, vulurnable side to day-to-day life on the road that so many won't.

[@sevenisprime]

I was already subscribed, but this convinced me that my subscription was a good call. I loved this: the silence, the mundane, the day to day, etc. Life isn't always these crazy huge moments, and it's often the little stuff in between. This video highlighted that. Keep up the good work!

[@amischair1906]

Love your “reality of Vanlife”videos Ryan. This should be a series. The story without narrating brilliantly shines through with your excellent editing skill. Props! 🙌

[@austinstone535]

I am really glad you show this side of van life as well as all of the other adventures that you have. I traveled with my wife and kids for a few years in a camper and there were a lot of days like this. Things like going to do laundry can take a good chunk of your day. And even though we are pretty close there were definitely times that we did want some peace and quiet or time alone and it was difficult. We aren't traveling at the moment but we do think about going back and doing it again. We learned so much and were able to see so many things. Great work on your videos.

[@vickins]

Absolutely love your videos Ryan, great job. Have fun and be safe

[@Shannonpisces77]

I imagine it can get pretty lonely sometimes with no one to talk to looks like you keep yourself pretty busy . I enjoy your videos and your channel is growing quickly 🙂

[@mikamika2508]

Yess that is what i was thinking... Someone to talk to would be nice..

[@UglyBikeling]

I'm sure he has people to talk to. Don't let these people fool you 😂

[@Aparna_9.]

Loved this silent videos that you put out ,it is so soothing to the ears.

[@marilynvillegas4698]

I truly appreciate your outlook on Vanlife. I’m mesmerized with your way of living. Just watching brings me peace.

[@TennesseeAV]

props to you for taking the time to work out and take care of yourself. Thanks for the great content!

[@abirdytoldme]

I respect the honesty. It has to get lonely. Stay safe out there!

[@kateandjosh]

Still seems a lot better than my day at work. Awesome video, the silent, no talking vibe was pretty cool.

[@joeoller1592]

What seperates you from these other on the road off grid videos is that you are real. You show just how it is and don't hide the reality. You don't seem fake and thats a big plus. If you need a shower or have use the restroom you or not shy about it. Your cooking is real and the way you present your lifestyle is unique and appears honest. The first video I watched of you pulled me in as I thought it would be boring and unreal, but it was natural and enjoy to watch. Keep it up.

[@mystorymyride]

This is my favorite side. I could watch this every day. It is real and it is raw. Thank you.

[@elmikatv]

I like these reality vanlife they are calming and relaxing to watch, love your channel, i discovered it recently, I come back daily to watch some of your old videos if there is no new videos, great work!

[@NovaTested]

Love these reality of vanlife videos! it really resonates with your audience quiet well, this is also very asmr like in feel to it. you really get to see whats its like and i love that. keep going dude i wish nothing but success for you cheers!

[@KnowTrentTimoy]

Nothing out of the ordinary here. You're doing the every day mundane duties of someone living in a camper van. There's actually a great sense of simplicity and satisfaction of doing things like laundry, washing dishes, running errands, filling up your gas, dumping your grey water and putting in fresh water, etc. Visiting a different city/town/area every day is what it's all about. You might be "alone" but not necessarily lonely. There's a difference

[@dannyrivas8706]

I agree

[@lelele111]

Bro i really appreciate you putting out videos!! Keep up the great work and i really hope this journey of yours rewards you in so many ways that it makes you want to keep on doing it.

[@Chris-ut6eq]

This looked more like life than Vanlife. Same stuff everyone else does but you happen to be in a van. I think this is a wonderful reminder that Instagram vanlife is one instant of life on the road. This is the stuff that happened in between well composed, color corrected pictures or short videos. Glad you posted this 👍

[@xiologyCNX89]

Honestely i think this could be 100% my Lifestyle. Exploring towns and nature while staying in the Van and making some Money working Remotely. Looks like thats the perfect escape from our broken society

[@Dittok92]

Thank you for all your videos!!

[@kurmaybayildiran4938]

omg i wouldnt ask for more, the amount of silence and peace.. here u got a sub.. u living my dream bro, safe journeys to you..

[@goddesseven7]

Omg I love these watching someone do things throughout their day type videos ❤️❤️

[@p4in339]

I love you and your videos man. I feel like a part of your family when you vlog

[@nicolletaylor424]

Not gonna lie I wait and leave all the videos from the week and binge watch them, I honestly can't get enough. Never stop being you 💞

[@atlantaga2881]

Thanks for sharing Ryan. Love it all man!

[@ashleybell996]

Thanks for sharing. Van life probably feels a bit mundane or lonely at times, but there’s something about this lifestyle that is so attractive to me. From my perspective I didn’t see anything bad.

[@YouTubeTyler]

Thanks for another video. Keep them coming! Travel safe and stay healthy!

[@lazyassian]

YEP this is what it is! Great video. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us! 🙂

[@ashleeralling-wo7ym]

Something so calming about you ‘keeping it real!’

[@anth2154]

I've lived in my van 70/30 for 4 years, travelling for work. If it wasn't for the 30% spent at home i'd have gone insane a long time ago. Really enjoy your vod's as it shows the reality of van life without the instagram bullshit you get from 90% of other accounts. Keep on keeping on mate 👍

[@patriciaking7892]

Being surrounded by fake, mental, lazy people, I'd rather have the van life.

[@gastruperstrasse]

So peaceful!

[@CrazyDave69]

Great videos Ryan! Love every second 🤟 Safe travels mate 🚐🎥

[@simojoudar4358]

Very insightful. Thank you so much for this honest angle of view 👍👍👍👍

[@kukugkukug5277]

Omg, outstanding,,,, living my dreams,,, you are the only one who are showing us the real life of a van, I mean daily routine, ❤️💯

[@KyleAffronti]

So peaceful though. The freedom that comes with this is a dream.

[@MadameButterfly1]

Been there done that. A really great adventure still has the mundaneness of real life. It’s all about perception. Have Fun Ryan!

[@Spaceface3]

I Also can see with going state to state, in different time zones, away from family and friends, so the scheduling and situations must to difficult, to have that balance of everything. Love the videos man keep it up 👍

[@elsands9774]

Thank you making reality content. Life isn’t always rainbows and sunshine, and that’s okay. Wishing you save travels

[@drcdrdoct9864]

A lot of the best parts of life happen when we're alone. Sometimes even the people with everyone around them are the most alone. Take care and be careful out there.

[@DavideoSolar]

Exactly what my van life is like. Frugal life with no large overheads and plenty of freedom. Joy!

[@Coriol369]

Looks like the best part of vanlife: a slow basic needs lifestyle where you can appreciate every day and every little convenience ❤ thanks for sharing

[@eagleeye617]

Awesome thanks for sharing your experience

[@stevensnell5825]

Such a chill video

[@Jovanna3313]

Wow, I really like that coin saver you have there. That's pretty neat. Stay Travels and Ryan have a blessed one😯💯🙏☺️

[@BoutTime73]

Love all the content, keep up the good work.

[@StarAmbience42]

There's something pleasant about your videos. Most things online are people glamorizing their lives. Posting clips of the best and funniest and most awe-inspiring moments. Its quite, dare i say healing, to just see life from a real life perspective. Reminds me that while there's exciting moments and cool experiences, life is more about making the mandane pleasant and enjoyable. Not about how many countries and vactations you've been on

[@jakehoppe8111]

and hes getting ready to do it again!

[@donteatpaint]

Thanks for keeping it real.

[@NashNARDONE]

Hey Ryan, I am a new subscriber. Just wanted to say I really like watching this style of video. Thanks for making it. Safe travels

[@charatnewton6138]

Love to watch your videos. Keep up and drive safe

[@TheVideoGamHer]

The quiet van life videos are my favorite.

[@shaivasinha3865]

Hey Ryan I love ur videos whenever I feel bored ur camping vlog makes me happy and u earned a sub 👍

[@ladyc659]

Love this Ryan

[@kyleweisbock687]

I look forward to your videos everyday!!!!

[@barbarashirland9078]

Great cinema this video. You have a real talent for this video thing. Subjects, videography, editing, music and sound. The whole thing. Amazing.

[@bobbyj3701]

It's A:: GOOD RYAN....Things work themselves out! Stay Happy!

[@user82938]

Great series, I hope you make more.

[@dalebuurma3450]

That sneeze at the beginning ❤

[@KaylaxPayla]

Loving the videos I always get excited when I see the notification pop up!

[@Headed_Out_Again]

LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN!! Especially after being a single mom taking care of three sons for the last 30 years!

[@SebasK443]

These are soothing videos too. Keep it going.

[@johngonzo9671]

Honestly its no different than what i do on my days off at home . I think there's pros and con's to everything. Got to take the good with the bad. But i definitely would like to live in a van . I absolutely will too , but i do think that life isn't for everyone. I knew people who lived like that and couldn't do it. I think that's why i like your videos , they just seem normal and just being you. Keep up the videos 🤜🤛

[@designerboyblock]

Thank you for the videos love I just catching up to the rest of the videos been busy the last few months with 9 to 5 but it really helps and I want to definitely do a camper van one day

[@AdamsYouTube123]

Your channel is growing a lot since I've subbed. You're going to hit 1 million soon enough. Love your videos.

[@zxyt9866]

Seems like a chill ass day tbh

[@lanchparty]

I don't know why, but this video is so relaxing.

[@olafartjom8654]

Keep strong!

[@BelindaTOV]

I like your lighting. People never show how much maintenance there is in a home on the road.

[@kkerr1953]

I wasn’t in a van, but I had a pickup and a small (19 foot) travel trailer. I spent two summers (seven months each) traveling the West. I had a great time but sometimes it was a long time between interpersonal interactions. My daughter called me one day and I told her “well this may be a long phone call, because I haven’t talked to anybody in three weeks”. I’d spoken to people, but I hadn’t really had a conversation with anyone. 😂

[@gregoryplamondon6109]

Dude I can not stop watching your videos keep it up

[@lllm299news]

Oh the van shuffle, you have to move things to use things then move them again and again. Hurts especially if your a clutz like me. Been there done that. Miss the hell out of it. Remember, the van is where you live not your identity. Focus on your next highest joy bro, You got this!

[@kristiankjaerbo]

Congratulations on the 150k subs! Keep it going ❤️

[@Ryantwomeyy]

Thanks haha appreciate it :)

[@kristiankjaerbo]

Ofc. I’ve been here for a long time and watched you grow as a KZbinr, an incredible journey. Be safe out there :)

[@MarkSmith-gl6gd]

Day in the life. thanks for sharing.

[@katlas]

When the bottle tipped over, I felt that

[@brandonfaulkner1592]

At least you sometime show us what been alone on the road it must be hard at times but we are greatful for your van life vlogs safe travels 👍🏻

[@kencapers9605]

Live your life my brother. Nice

[@TransAmMazing]

Seems like goals for me.

[@michaelmendez6308]

3:55 aww i coulda saw you taking him home and all the fans loving the mutt

[@Bluegastank]

Life is hard for every human being we all have our challenges sometimes it's good to write down a gratitude list on paper.

[@deadmoney2038]

Go Terps! Your videos are awesome

[@Peter_Kski]

Love the content brotha!

[@kaleycooper298]

Really like these videos... Like them more when you talk in them though and you explain whats going on... Also like it when you start with the typical 'Good morning' :)

[@InkyTheIdiot]

Love your videos ❤️

[@marvinmoate2149]

@Ryantwomey can’t wait to see your videos everyday Brother!

[@TheFreelancer131]

Looks like paradise to me

[@LukeJukeDuke]

One key thing about van life is one that one reason why i wanna live in that kind of lifestyle. Doesnt have to mean your strictly gonna be alone for weeks on end, just means you can go anywhere. A house on wheels, you dont have to stress on rent, or have loud neighbors or the big upkeep of a full ob house. Also i have a vidro idea, you should do a full on gaming area thats more suited to your van setup, when you wanna watch someone on you bed on your monitor, you should get a monitot arm thats able to move closer to you in bed and be able to put it back where you sit in front of it, and maybe even add a gaming pc for morr versatility on the games you can play. Then buy a wireless mouse so you can still use your pc while in bed, its what i do in my house.

[@joshterlich2696]

Looks amazing tbh

[@shawnwalden2669]

really dug this one! ty

[@RSMoreno]

I like the idea of being in my own thoughts… this less publicized version of vanlife is exciting to me. I am more an extrovert than not, by a slim margin… makes me curious if I could do this full time. Ryan, if you read this, you’ve inspired me to have an open mind to this weird lifestyle choice. Safe travels!

[@nomaderic]

Been doing this 3 years and reading what you've said im gonna say this. Sometimes I be having whole conversations with myself now lol

[@RSMoreno]

@@nomaderic I was in Wichita Falls and San Antonio for a short while when I was in the military… loved it, although I didn’t take in the outdoors much. I subscribed to your channel and looking forward to seeing so much that I missed out on.

[@nomaderic]

@Raymond Moreno there's alot of cool places out there if you get off the beaten path. Thank you, I have alot of new videos planned at the beginning of the month. Been waiting for the dead of winter to pass by

[@frankbpook9370]

Very thought provoking post.

[@ndhonda1282]

So Jealous! I’d love to do what you’re doing. Moved to AZ 2 years ago this June and haven’t made one friend here. Can’t even get friends from back home in ND to come visit. I do just fine on my own. Maybe someday! Good luck on your travels. I can’t wait for you to get to Alaska.

[@nickg47]

Ayyyy, you were in El Paso!!! That quick wok is down the street!!! I hope you enjoyed passing through!

[@TronApostle]

Every time I get a notification that this dude uploaded I stop everything what I’m doin to watch

[@adventureswithrobertdiesel5094]

I’ve been on the road since 2017 doing van and truck life. Not sure if it’s just me but thought of living in a home or apartment isn’t appealing to me. The thought of being in one place kinda freaks me out. I have peace knowing I can pack up my rig and hit the road in 20 min. What people don’t see is the mental aspect, bathing, laundry and where to park safely. It’s a lot but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Great video 🤙🏼
