This Is WHY We Live In A Van | Van Life Vlog
In this week’s van life vlog, we are talking about why we chose van life + what decisions brought us to full time nomadic living in the first place. We go on a van life road trip to go camping in Canada and talk about van life, alternative living and navigating the world as seasonal workers and nomads. We have been living alternatively for the past 4 years and have some thoughts on van dwelling, overlanding and more. We will be visiting a HipCamp and you can use our code here if you want to say at a HipCamp of your own! hipcamp.com/i/raychelrceceef

We’re Nick & Raychel, the couple behind the blog Not Luxe – where we write travel guides & help people open their eyes to alternative living, whether that be teaching English online, moving to Cambodia, taking advantage of working holiday visas (like in Australia) or building a DIY stealthy camper van to live & work on the road. Right now, we’re living the van life and travelling throughout Canada and the USA.
Our goal here is to bring you weekly content where we hope to inspire you to break free & live the life you desire. On this channel, we talk everything from finances to minimalism to working online to mindset and post a weekly vlog of our daily lives. We hope you join us on our journey to see the world, save money, live minimally, and most importantly, have fun.
Love,
That couple that lives in an ambulance

Thanks for watching! After a little break, it feels so good to be back. Petition for us to become full time residents at this gorgeous property lol?
🙌🏿🔥
Loved this so happy you're back ❤️
I genuinely don’t understand the negative comments about van lifers. I mean how hard is it to mind your own business and live YOUR life 😂😂
Anyways I love this channel ❤️
It's so great that you are living your life on your own terms! It gave us a liberating feeling when we got rid of everything so that we could travel full time. If it doesn't fit in our suitcases…we don't buy it 🙂
People who put others down, judge others or are highly critical of others says more about them than the person receiving it, it’s a reflection of their own insecurities. They do this as a coping mechanism to make themselves feel better. Enjoy your travels, enjoy your life and i look forward to your next video.
I'm like big considering an ambulance for van life. Its gonna be my first van. I saw the short this morning. Would you recommend it for a first timer? If so, are there anythings i should be cautious / aware of when buying and building?
Thank you
Whoever is complaining about you guys living your own life, how you want to live your life, please block them. We love you guys and your videos. I’m sad you left the states, but I understand. Hope you come back soon. Keep the videos coming!
