Van Life in the UK is TOUGH!! S6 Ep3

Hey guys, we've been feeling a little deflated since we've come back. I think it's probably going from sun everyday to RAIN! We will be back to ourself soon enough.
We have upgraded our internet system from the Max View Roam X to the Max View Roam 5G. We have already noticed a difference in the WIFI speeds which for us is amazing with the amount of uploading we need to do.

BACKGROUND STORY
We are steps2adventure, better known as Jordan & Annalise. We created the steps2adventure brand to inspire people to explore what the outdoors has to offer. Back in 2019 we always knew we wanted to travel, we were planning backpacking trips, train journeys.. you name it. Thankfully we came across the van life KZbinrs! As soon as we saw this way of life we knew this was it, this is how we want to live and travel. So, we bought a van… Not just any van, she’s a 2007 LWB Mercedes sprinter van, an absolute beast!! We have spent over 2 years converting her in-between work and some little adventures across the UK.
Come along with us for some epic adventures across the UK & Europe and everyday life in-between

[@maryt2422]

Even in a house the weather can get you down. At least you can change location in the van

[@Steps2adventure]

Yeah that’s true!

[@chrissofad]

Hi. We love watching your videos from here in Murcia. We live in Sucina about 30 mins from Cartegna. I will never do what you two are doing, we are retired now but it's fun watching your travels. We both particularly like the fact that you are normal. A lot of van life channels are from stylised skinny vegan types with everything just so. They certainly don't show the real van life challenges you two show. Keep up the good work we travel through you. Ps. Those little chocolate croissant from Mercadona are fab!

[@Steps2adventure]

Thanks for your kind words we fell in love with Spain such an amazing country those croissants are life 🤣🙌

[@Ozzie48]

Hey Jordan hope you both get the van life buzz back soon, saw you filling up and it reminded me of a vlog I saw a couple days ago, I guy who has classic cars pulled into a garage to fill up, the petrol tank on his classic Renault is actually in the rear with the engine, and the garage wouldn't turn on the fuel pump for him, when he went to ask why he was told they won't allow anyone to pump fuel with a door or boot open, knowing you top up the tank inside your van, made me recall this Geoff Buys Cars is the name of the vlogger

[@Steps2adventure]

Thanks for watching! Ah no way, we’ve not come across that. Will have to have a look at his video that’s crazy x

[@lesleywilson1133]

You’ve both achieved amazing results/ journeys lately, sometimes it’s ok to feel a little deflated , but spring will spring soon enough and summer to follow with lots of memories for you to enjoy and share 💕💕💕

[@Steps2adventure]

We agree!! Thanks so much 🥰🥰

[@PhilArn713]

Hi guys sorry you are feeling a bit deflated but you still pulled off a brilliant vlog ,we are up in Pooley Bridge,,, ,in caravan, hillcroft site,, we were in Hawkshead and walked round tarn hows and went to see blue bird in Coniston yesterday ,,,,, been to Keswick today rained all day but making the most of it,,, you guys are brill Phil/Tina ❤

[@Steps2adventure]

Thanks guys yeah it can be pretty grim when the weather is bad but I guess you just have to get on with it 🤣 just hate coming back soaked to death ahaha

[@jmick7191]

Sunny days are coming kids! Love the vlogs - they really inspire us to get out in our van - Scotland here we come 🤗

[@Steps2adventure]

Thanks for watching!! We’re going to Scotland soon for a little roadtrip, it’s so much easier up there x

[@davesdaze]

Hello Guys. Yes what a shame all that rain. We were in Hemsby at the Easter break, just north of Gt Yarmouth. Plenty of camp sites, chalets, caravans, we own a chalet there, come down, the sun always shines. I'm still converting the ex sainsbury van, getting on quite well. Safe travels. Best wishes to u both. David and Beverley Norfolk

[@Steps2adventure]

Lucky sods ahaha peeing it down up here constantly but we are not letting it stop us 😂

[@sarahbenamar2349]

[@toulouselaplot5695]

Been in France in the van for a week and just got back, we feel your pain, this weather is enough to drive you to eating uncooked burgers 😃 cheer up soon be summer, keep the vids coming ✅

[@Steps2adventure]

Hahaha weather is awful isn’t it! Can’t wait for some sun ☀️🥰

[@michaelpilling9659]

Hello You three - greetings from Poland Superb video. Deflated is not in your vocabulary. You bring so much fun laughter and sunshine into peoples lives, the weather might be making you feel a bit low but despite the rain, you are brilliant!

[@Steps2adventure]

Hey Michael, thanks so much 🥰🥰

[@simonpe3trie102]

We live in the UK, so we need to embrace the weather Looking at waterfalls when high levels is awesome secondly love the highland cow bedding 👍

[@robertellis7808]

Agree about the weather, we’ve been in Cornwall since Jan and rained and windy so much it ripped the skylight off the roof in a thunderstorm, keep up the good work love your vlogs

[@Steps2adventure]

Oh no!! Hope you got it sorted. Thanks for watching x

[@funkypartytaxi]

Keep videos going guys .. they are fantastic entertainment ... summer is coming 🏖🏝 and all will be well

[@Steps2adventure]

Fingers crossed it comes thick and fast 🤣💯🙌

[@XenPhoto]

Keep up the great work guys, you're like a breath of fresh air here on KZbin. Plenty of parkups out in the Western Lakes if you fancy a scenery change...

[@Steps2adventure]

Sure is I have seen quite a few down that way the only downside is the scenery doesn't change all that much ahah

[@XenPhoto]

@Steps2adventure the Scottish border area or just a bit south into Northern Cumbria is glorious along the coast, nice and quiet too...ping me if you want some suggestions. Look after yourselves, can't wait for your next vlog.

[@petehall9827]

Always a great watch guys whatever you're getting up to 👍

[@Steps2adventure]

Thanks so much 💯

[@jjs_adventureswithcharlie]

Great video guys. We know what you mean about the rain its never ending and drags you down. We just spent 9 days in Cornwall and hardly did anything as it rained everyday. Lets hope summer arrives soon and we can all get out in the sun and start to feel better again. Be interested to see how the new wifi works compared to the old one.

[@Steps2adventure]

It's night and day difference in terms of speed it's saving us an extra hour on upload which is crazy

[@Steps2adventure]

However nothing worse than rain constant ahaha sun is life 🤣

[@Vlad-le3jl]

Head down for doing vanlife in UK. One of most difficult countries. Just don’t burn out and travel what you can. 👍🏻🙏❤️

[@Steps2adventure]

Definitely!! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@StevenHicks-ue2ms]

Keep it up guys love your channel and what you are both doing so much so we have just sold our motorhome to buy a van to convert and do lots more travelling .

[@Steps2adventure]

You guys will love it enjoy your travels thanks for the kind words 😊💯

[@paulg16]

Hi guys, feel your pain regarding park ups in the lakes, same for us. As for feeling down ,,, it's all the rain and no sun. Not enough vitamin D . We tried vit d once a day and it does help during the winter months. Keep up the good content guys. 😊😊

[@Steps2adventure]

It’s a shame there all going isn’t it! Yeah we used to take vitamin d last year, completely forgot this year🫣😅 thanks for watching x

[@sharongalvin9433]

Rainy weather is a bugger.Puts a damper on things.Love your channel by the way.

[@Steps2adventure]

Definitely does! Thanks for watching xx

[@georgerobertson-yw2ck]

Check into a hotel for the night early bed after a good feed. 12 hour kip then a plunge into freezing cold water. Both of you are an inspiration to many, its impossible to be buzzing all the time guys, ❤

[@Steps2adventure]

Cold water swimming is definitely on the cards in next weeks video 👀🥰

[@hangwiththearts2844]

Hi Jordan, know how you feel. We plan to get back on the road again in July for another 12 month trip to the UK . It would be magic to meet up with you guys. We are from Norway so l understand how you feel about the wet weather. Nice channel, hang in there.

[@Steps2adventure]

Thanks guys yeah for sure if you ever see us come over and give us a shout we love meeting new people 💯😊

[@TeeMac68]

Ive been on my dads drive waiting to have new bits n bobs fitted for the last 10 days and not going to lie, its been grand not searching for park ups! The trade off is I'm in west london - not a fan of cities! You guys are great fun to watch even when its a "reality" vlog so dont worry! Oh, Ive ordered good weather for mid april when im back on't road! Keep up the great work 😊 ❤

[@Steps2adventure]

Fingers crossed the weather comes but I'm not letting it stop us 😂

[@mikee081]

Love watching your videos, keeping it real, warts an all, no one is completely happy all of the time..... just have to crack on. I've just had another 4 days of building my own van for me and the missus, and happily it didn't rain on me, for a change 👍 Will you be touring Europe again this year?

[@Steps2adventure]

So true! Ah nice, hope it’s all going well ☺️ Europe is definitely on the cards again at some point x

I liked this one as you were both just chilled relaxed and being normal!.. lol .. basically anyone would prefer Spain living but even that might feel stifling after a time.

[@Steps2adventure]

We loved Spain so much can't wait to get back there it was amazing 😂 we are refusing to let the weather get us down

Great entertaining video as always. You two brighten any day. Keep up the fantastic work and good luck with sticking to your diet 😂😂

[@leecurry14]

Great video Jordan and Annalise, if everyday was amazing all the time i guess it would never feel amazing. I was struggling to feel the love for crunchy scrambled eggs on toast without butter on my toast 🤣🤣🤣 vanlife issues 🤣🤣 lovely couple and brilliant to see your going to be posting twice weekly, soon you'll be posting as much as Olly bloggs 😜😜

[@Steps2adventure]

Hahaha that’s true! The scrambled egg was a let down 😂 got to have butter!!

Have you ever thought of doing a tour of Ireland especially the west coast

[@Steps2adventure]

That’s definitely on the cards

[@Andrew-Dixon]

Keep smiling 😊 Great vlogs🎉

[@Steps2adventure]

Thank you 🥰

[@iagrim39]

Hi, I live in the N Lakes, and park ups aren’t as bad up here. You need a routine, maybe join a club so you can get out weekly running or hiking. The hardest part is getting out of the van 😂

[@Steps2adventure]

We are working full time at the minute so it’s hard to fit it all in 🫣😂

With star link you pay like £70 monthly so I’ve heard, the max view is a one off payment for the actual router & antenna then we only pay £30 a month for unlimited internet
