TRADING OUR VAN FOR A CONVERTED SCHOOL BUS (full tour)

✈️ Check out the travel app we created that helps you find incredibly cheap flights to the amazing destinations all over the world! Try it risk free ➡️ faredrop.app/ytd_201104 ⬅️
Should we have bought a school bus instead of a van? In this episode, we see what it's like to live in a gorgeous converted "skoolie." Back in March when our lives were flipped upside down, we had no idea what we were going to do this year. We ALMOST bought a converted school bus, so today we're comparing #vanlife to #buslife to see if we made the right decision ;)
The owners of this bus have a KZbin channel where they documented the entire conversion process and their adventures in it, check them out :) / @colaventures

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries before 2020 and all 7 continents, we have no plans to slow down anytime soon, and we are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

As someone who grew up in Olympia, WA it's so awesome to see people enjoy the boardwalk and our art! Also, I always tell people "Yeah I'm from the capital of Washington, and it's not Seattle." because everyone immediately assumes Seattle is the Capital! So I promise everyone thinks that! I've never drank at that brewery, but we have so many it would be hard to get to all of them. Sadly our Farmers Market hasn't happened this year because of COVID, but if you ever find yourselves back there you were really close where we have our Spring and Fall Farmers Market. It's my favorite thing to do back home! Also, when you're out checking out the boats on the pier keep an eye out for jellyfish, they're abundant and every time I'm out I see them float by! Thank you for enjoying my home :)

You guys should get some "rechargeable" heat packs. There are some that recharge in boiling water. They may help a little with the cold weather and lack of working heater.

[@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon]

That's a good idea! Btw guys, if someone is interested I have a travel channel as well! Feel free to check it out!😍

[@mbc-92]

Those sodium acetate heat packs are actually not a great solution for van life traveling. The energy/fuel required to reset them would be much more efficiently spent on heating the cabin or your body when it’s cold, particularly in a way that doesn’t introduce moisture into the cabin (propane byproduct and even by boiling water for 8-16 minutes). Electric power storage is really expensive and electric heating elements draw huge amounts of power. Campfire could work, when you’re running a campfire, but imagine using that firewood in a stove instead. And then again the reusable heaters are made of plastic and will eventually end up not recycled, in a landfill/ocean. If you must, resort to “hothands” hand warmers. They’re dirt cheap, the reactants degrade into iron oxide (rust) and the packaging is more readily recyclable.

[@RiverWoods111]

When I lived there and when I have visited there as a kid, I always see Orcas and Dolphins when I am out on the water in the Peugeot sound. When I was about 7 years old we were fishing on the Peugeot Sound when an Orca breached right next to our small wooden boat. It was way bigger than our boat. Nothing like looking a wild Orca in the eye at 7 years old. It is not uncommon to see that kind of thing there especially if you are on one of the many ferries or out fishing from a boat. I have seen whales there for the beach also.

OMG! Just made the ramen! Thank you, so good and just what I needed tonight!!

[@laurieroseparker4890]

Sooooooo excited that you two are basically in my backyard! I’ve been following you for almost 3 yrs and now your just an hour away compared to several time zones away! Haha I hope you enjoy Washington as much as you can, sorry that the weather decided to be moody, gotta love Washington for that 💁‍♀️ I would suggest taking a ferry to some islands, when it’s a clear day super pretty! Safe travels ❤️ and God Bless ❤️

[@ashleyerin913]

Yes!! The San Juan islands!!! It’s so beautiful! My favorite part of WA.

[@shey8984]

Same here! Im so excited they will be up in Seattle. Such a perfect time of year too. I hope they avoid downtown and enjoy everything else we have to offer. (Im sure they will.)

BLOOPS Nate:"back in 2020..... we're still in 2020.." Me: ~hits head~ LOL

[@barnabyanimations2160]

Watching u guys is sooooooo relaxing especially Kara’s voice!

[@carsongrace8626]

I love how they have blown up on their channel and our king and queen still like comments 🥰

[@rainview112]

Hi! I hope everyone has a blessed day ahead! I have been watching their (travel) vlogs for more than 2 years now! Hope they see this. Love you two 😍 💗

[@DjusLife]

Aww so so sweet - not to be crazy self promoty but we would love for you to check out our travel vlogs. K&N inspired us to travel full time and we are loving sharing our travels. Would love to know what you think as you love travel vlogs 💛💛

[@typhoononesevendot6492]

Thank you for putting Olympia in your video. Olympia has been affected by protesting like Portland and Seattle. Budd Bay Cafe is a hidden gem. Due to Covid-19, the wonderful Sunday Brunch has been shutdown. But it's an amazing restaurant.

I love how humble they are

[@mikefreeman9251]

The fish n chips and ocean views looked amazing, I haven't been to the ocean in over a year my soul longs to hear the waves

[@PastorAdamPerry]

I so miss Washington, lived in Tacoma for a year while my husband was stationed there. The food scene in Seattle is amazing! enjoy!

[@craigm.5674]

Trust me....Washington...especially seattle has gone straight steep downhill...stay where u are. Sad to see, I grew up there for 22 years

[@PB8059]

I really thought Seattle was the capital 😂😂😂 I guess it’s a little more acceptable being Australian

[@itshaileyssunshine4587]

it’s Olympia:)

[@anniehirabayashi7968]

I am loving your recipes that you have been adding to your Vlog! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you!! Love you guys!!

[@aaronp7995]

Love that you guys made it to Washington! The Pacific Northwest is SO slept on.

[@chalibentley3417]

You two were staying less than a minute away from our house! I’m so glad you got to enjoy Olympia. You are our travel inspiration, and we look forward to your videos every week. Much love....Chali & Alyx Bentley

[@ashleydouglas7080]

"Back in 2020... wait it's still 2020" I felt that in my soul.

[@elizabetheaton8497]

Thank you for the NO ADS!!!!! I've watched the whole thing and only just realised! too many ads in vloggers vids now x hope you guys are keeping well- love watching your stuff xxx

[@JtTaylor-mx3tm]

Y'all are one of my favorite van life KZbinrs. One day I hope to find someone who likes van life as much as I do. Still planning everything but hopefully when I'm done I won't be doing this adventure alone. Being 24 I better get my butt in gear. Doing this adventure alone is my biggest fear

[@bruh-kl9wj]

When I saw the title and the picture I actually thought they traded in their van for bus LOL

[@manis6664]

I did also but i see the year if it was posted

[@vww299]

when I read the title, I thought that you were permanently trading it in. I almost cried 😂

[@valariejones2888]

Same

[@gazelleharb2380]

Yeah

[@carmeladawnt.adolfo9665]

I feel u😂

[@heyyitzrespawn]

Same

[@sarahlittlejohn9578]

Glad to see you guys exploring the pacific northwest. As a native I grew up with a lot of things that I thought was "normal". Just like you saw the whale breaching in the puget sound or our only source of heat being from the wood stove. Im in AZ now but my heart will always be in Arlington, WA. :)

[@julzkrystal4850]

I jus love that Nate makes coffee 4 u every 🌅 morning!

[@vintagebanana5241]

Kara’s excitement is so contagious! This vlog made my morning❤️😁

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Love how you guys find so many different things to sleep in other than your little van! 😂

[@rancher4545]

You guys have inspired me to get smaller and I’ve begun designing my own tiny home on our acerage. I’m only 18 and I don’t know much about it, so all of your videos help a lot! Thanks for inspiring me!

[@dlrice67]

You made Olympia look beautiful. Glad you left the sketchy parts of downtown out of your video! ; ).
