Hey this is a really old video, made it back in Sante Fe, never uploaded it because originally I wasn’t happy with the result but I feel like people need to know about these two and their whole philosophy on the Van Life and why they did it. I feel it’s really important to not lose sight of the reason you sell everything and move into an old van, and that it’s not about the van, but about the travel and the freedom.
