as a fellow singaporean who spends hours watching vanlife videos i really do admire this one (and only) sg couple for stepping out of the norm to pursue this lifestyle that is commonly frowned upon in our society & giving me hope that it’s possible that i can do it too one day

[@24hourtravellers]

There are a few from Singapore already - not announced that's all. It is very possible.

[@unclefiction5364]

You are the only Singaporeans I've ever heard of going van life, Im Australian I see it here every day. Go guy's mad respect happy trails.

[@ILUVBAKKUA]

There's actually others that have done this kind of trip in the past travel from Singapore woodlands old train station to Woking in the UK. But they travelled by train took 3-4 months. woodlandstowoking.wordpress.com/

[@sdqsdq6274]

there no van life because its costly here ,lol , no place to travel around also , parking is costly as well

[@xcre8ionx]

@@sdqsdq6274 no one do campervan in the city

[@unclefiction5364]

@@xcre8ionx what about near the zoo/night safari?

[@liachini]

Hi i wonder what licence are you guys using to drive a van and is it stamped for international driving ? Cause im planing to have a van soon or bit . Thanks

[@2s6avfui]

Inspiring! I think more Singaporeans should adopt your attitude towards life. I am a Singaporean and every freaking day I am reminded that we should plan for retirement, up-skilling ourselves so that we remain relevant in the workforce, continuous learning so that we can have a purposeful old age... and, recently, we are so proud that a 20+ years old youth started putting money in the supplementary retirement scheme accounts... it's just ridiculous... watching your video helps to put things in perspective - there are different ways to live and it is possible to be carefree... Thanks for sharing your journey...

[@gainiq2002]

Wow, finally found a Singaporean couple going van life. You two should start a KZbin channel and I’ll be your 1st subscriber!

[@nerfmia]

As a Singaporean I can only commend you on this. It takes balls of steel to decide 'screw it I'm going to travel the world IN A VAN', especially being from Singapore where we've been taught since young the traditional ways of living. Thank you for being different and paving the way for youths like me.

[@whatthefitt]

azura kaiyo You don’t need balls of steel. You just need to follow your heart and do you. It’s your life do what you want man.

I love the fact that you are enjoying LIFE! So, instead of "WHAT IF's" twenty years from now! both of you are enjoying and doing the "WHAT IS". thank you for sharing!

[@sailingavocet]

This is exactly why we moved onto a sailboat, so we can sail around the world! We got married at 21 with a plan to see the world.

Thank you for sharing yet another inspiring story. I love MJ’s insistence on keeping everything sustainable and I also love very much using the local materials. I’m looking forward to seeing your own new van as well. Take care.

[@hhspore]

such a beautiful couple. So happy and blissful ....and such a gorgeous van. God bless you both.

[@RuiAquino]

I'm so glad I've found your chanel. I'm from Portugal and I have a Toyota Hiace from 1982 with Campervan conversion. It's so rare to find travelers in a Toyota Hiace :) Congrats on the project. Safe travels

[@augiemommy]

I love how they used organic things, i like the baskets and your ceiling! 😍 it really showcase your country so much!

[@ericrikzan8000]

This is a great video, love the couple, thinking of doing a trip too! Very inspiring, informative and enjoyable to watch. Support from Malaysian who works in Singapore

Thanks Eric :)

Well done, we will accompany your journey from Malaysia..👍👍

[@p6h14]

Woohoo woo! Hello from your fellow countrywoman here! This is my dream life too and its so awesome to see u all do this! Usually only see angmohs do this cos Singaporeans are too busy working, buying stuff and IG-ing to do other things with their lives... Have fun on your trip ok.. travel safe and stay healthy and happy!!! :8)

[@paull7806]

You mean, too "materialistic" right? I lived and worked in Singapore for ten years, and married a local; and i really like the City. But it is too materialistic and kiasu for my tastes. I'm back in Canada, which i was shocked to find it 13,000 times the size of Singapore and mostly empty. You can still buy arable land here for SGD $300-500 an acre.

[@christopherstimpson6540]

I traveled around the world before I started my career and family. It was actually a plus on my job applications. My employers said "Wow! You actually did that?"

[@allisonsherman7231]

Love the materials you use. Your personalities are awesome and the humor 😃

[@easternhouse]

Envy you guys! It’s good to be young and share the same dream with your partner. Enjoy the journey and I look forward to sharing your adventures along the way. 💪🏼

[@crosbyong]

WOW! Sound so exciting! All the best, MJ! Also, nice video & I enjoyed the lighthearted interview.

Good on you guys, follow your dreams. I would actually get that radio repaired though. It's important to stay connected in some ways to get safety news whilst driving like road closures, disaster prone areas. Good luck and enjoy the journey!

oh, finally I saw Singaporean go for van life, wish you good and enjoy your journey, and please don give up halfway. I've travel in Malaysia times in the past few years, except this year, just took leaves plus public holidays, I hope my VEP still valid and my T&Go card still valid, to sad this year for all over the world. myself, my plan is when I hit my 55 or 60, I will buy myself a campervan(must be second-hand) and travel around the whole Europe and China and all the way back to Singapore. the only issue is, this campervan cannot be registered under my name, otherwise I cannot drive it back to Singapore, I want to say the 3 alphabets.

[@24hourtravellers]

They didn't go because of Covid. Hopefully they will continue when a vaccine is out.
