Redwoods, California - Van Life in a 1988 Westfalia Vanagon

We dreamt of driving to the Redwoods – some of the world’s largest trees – the second we found out we would be getting a Peace Vans Westfalia Vanagon for 2 weeks. It was a bit of a long drive from Seattle, but seeing these beautiful and enormous Redwood trees was our favorite part of our entire West Coast road trip.

This video gives you another glimpse into the normal aspects of van life from long drive days to our minimal morning routine (aka meditation and cleaning) plus cooking in the van.

Rewatching this video now got me super sentimental for that hike we did to the Boy Scout Tree. The light dancing in between each of the gigantic Redwoods, the utter silence of being on the trail alone, and one of the perfect days on the trip where it didn’t rain while we were out adventuring.

If you get to the chance to go to California and see these trees don’t miss it for anything!

If you’re interested in renting a Peace Van here is their website: http://www.peacevansrentals.com/

Lou and I fell in love with the team at Peace Vans as they are so thoughtful and really help make your time on the road life-changing with incredible recommendations and wonderful suggested itineraries for the PNW. They do sell out though so if you want to book I’d recommend doing it sooner rather than later 🙂

30 Day Free Trial for Epidemic Sound – http://share.epidemicsound.com/pl2WQ

Switching to Epidemic Sound – a royalty free music library – for all our videos has been such a gamechanger. Many of our most viewed videos on our channel ended up with copyright claims and no longer can make any ad revenue. This was actually a substantial part of our YouTube income stream and we can’t get those claims removed even though we received full authorization from every artist to use their songs. If you make Youtube videos this is an amazing way to no longer fret about whether or not you will get demonetized!!!
