Hello! I read in one of your replies to another video that you have shipped back your van to US, and that you are buying (or have bought) a house in Florida. First of all, congratulations for the new house! Second, when you first started your vanlife in Europe series, you said that you were planning to drive around Europe for the next few years. May I respectfully ask what made you decide to change your mind? I am just asking because I have been dreaming of doing vanlife all over Europe, and I am just wondering what were the factors that made you change your original plan and cut your European vanlife short? Thank you.

You are mistaken, , , The Hawai of Europe is NOT Madeira...It is AZORES the portuguese islands in the middle of the atlantic...
