Many people just want to present one side of 'living in a van' life, often for the camera only...They hide all the imperfections and struggles, like those instagram accounts as if its all bunnies and rainbows.. You both have shared very honest experiences, this makes this video, real, beautiful and authentic.

Organization and storage seem to be your main issue.
Maybe build some cupboards where you can store all the stuff you have to put away before traveling. Everything needs a place and a place to put everything.
Also, use better/strong closures on your drawers so they don't come open when driving.
When things are more organized you will find that your travel becomes less stressful.
Happy travels :)

As a full-time van lifer - I can confirm that van life DOESN'T suck and is the best life possible

I cycled coast to coast across Spain many years ago, camping in olive groves every night. As soon as I came across any kind of food store I’d stock up as you never knew what the next village would be selling. Some only had shops that sold food, others tractor spares or tables and chairs. Van life has its drawbacks but being able to drive to the next village is more fun than cycling 4 hours up a mountain to find you’re out of luck unless you eat furniture.

Every person is different and everyone lives according to their ability. If you have money, of course you will live in luxury and upgrade your truck to be more comfortable in the end, this lifestyle is very beautiful, because you are always visiting different places and meeting different people, and it is better than buying a house for three thousand dollars and living in it your whole life with the same routine every day.

"The grass is always greener on the other side", Standing on one mountain top, longing for another mountain top", "There is always another side of the story", "If there is a positive then there will be a negative".

There are downsides to every lifestyle... even if you're living in your own tiny house, or your apartment, or your rental house, or your own house with a mortgage, or your paid off house, or a luxury penthouse, or even a mansion or a castle.... there will always be positives and negatives. The trick is to live by your means and choose an appropriate lifestyle that fits your needs at every period of life.

After 12 months riding my motorbike across the world I love it. I want to do it for the rest of my life. If you don't remember, my wife is Colombian and my best Colombian friend is a Tattooist from Bucaramanga. He would have set you up with somewhere to stay. I hope you're going to San Gil next

I think many people think it sucks cause they do it wrong
At least from what i see on youtube

When i imagine vanlife i think about meeting friends along the way and traveliing with them, going together to explore each new place. Staying for some time, creating a small comunity. Instead what i see is people rushing everyday to a new location, trying to be as isolated from other travelers, focusing only on eating sleeping and putting gas

Maybe try doint it different way❤

I love you guys, but I NEVER envied your van experience. I need a real roof over my head, a kitchen, a bathroom, hopefully a balcony, pool, and, of course, air conditioning and safety. But, hey, if it works for you, more power to you! BTW, I'll be visiting your home country later this year!

That view from the truck stop was one in a million. You forget by the way that life in a house isn't always smooth. The ceiling lamp in my lounge room just dropped to the floor the other day out of the blue. Luckily my dog must have had an inkling. because she moved just in time.

It’s so hilarious that Kim was going to buy a lamp, and the look on Naick's face was priceless!🤣 I think I could live in a van or trailer, but I’d get too lonely alone.

When you come to Puerto Rico you must come and stay with us! (Ik ben een Nederlander die hier al zo'n 40 jaar woont.)
