In part one of our trip with @sharlainjapan to Matsushima, we swapped our micro camper Kei Car ‘Nora’ for a Japanese Motorhome Toyota Camroad. We give you a van tour, grab dinner at a Michi No Eki, try Sharla’s favourite Konbini snacks and Mama Dom starts a vanlife cooking show…

✨ About Always Away:
We are Dominic and Emma. Travelling together as a couple for the last 10 years, we started off backpacking through South East Asia and in 2016 began vanlife as a means to travel with our pug, Percy. Since then, we have slowly been upgrading; from our first self-build micro-camper Renault Kangoo to our Mercedes Sprinter LWB, and now our Fiat Ducato Hymer Swing Motorhome. Vanlife allows us to not only travel with our dog, but experience travelling through places and enjoying the journey, not just the destination. We are advocates for not allowing financial circumstance to be a barrier to travel. Instead we know there is Always Away!

aw sharla is a gem
Dom is camping-domestic AF and I respect that.
Just remember to plug the toilet back in 😂
What a sweet little motorhome! So much nicer than the 34 foot old rattling beast I drove 😂 Your videos are showing me that a camping roadtrip in Japan actually looks really doable. Thanks for sharing your fun adventures!
PFFFF Dom "Mommy's acid does the trick" 😂
oh wow such a super nice camper wagon.. this makes me want to rent a camper wagon one day when i get to visit Japan again and buy camping gears at Decathlon😀 i wonder whether it's easy to drive though, or would the Kei car be easier to handle ? Great video, Dom is funny ..so nice to see you 3 together, enjoy your time in Japan both of you!
I'm a new sub to your channel and just wanted to say I love your videos! Also I can't believe Sharla is your sister in law! I watched your last video and thought you both looked really similar!
Lol love the “Are you YouTuber?” reference at the beginning! also absolutely love the way Mama Dom gives tours of every place/camper you stay in. It’s funny yet very detailed 😂
This is awesome! Glad Chris got me on to your channel from the Podcast!
Wish we had campers like these in the US!
How fun was that? Can't wait for the next episode 😊. I'm glad for you that Dom is a better cook than Chris.😉 and he does the washing up? He's a keeper!
Not your sister-in-law
Great episode
Whose related to who?
I would have bet my life that the sink cover was a stove!
Family time is the best ❤
Holy shiz, you look like a mix between Chris and Sharla, like if they would have a daughter she'd pretty much look like you! 😂 Love your videos, keep up the great work! ❤
Hilarious cooking show! lol
Not both of my passions melded together?!?! Japan + van life ?!?!?!
So this life hack that Sharla mentioned, you unplug the bidet, plug in your phone and then sit on the toilet waiting for your phone to charge up? 😂
That storage area would be great for a cozy nap! 😆
Great Video!! We are witnessing the building of a family Youtube Empire.😆Fun to see you all interact and explore together! Enjoy your trip and keep the videos coming!
I thought they looked so similar in the last video.. then this video title said, "Sister" so that made sense to me.. but in the video she says sister in law!.. so surprised 😮
The “are you youtuba’ reference is gold.
Just hearing the first part I was like wait: Sharla’s sibling is married Emma’s sibling or is Emma Chris’s sibling. Honestly Emma and Sharla looks so similar! Out of curiosity what is the relation?
A broad empire ❤🎉😅
Love the video! Can’t wait to see more! Also this is BLOWING MY MIND that Chris has a YouTuber sister, the abroad in Japanverse keeps expanding
Great video! The camper home looks so good, Sharla’s treats look good, I love mochi! Great to see you teaming up with Sharla for a trip – a great guide (who even includes tolls to visit 😂)
New subscriber saw Sharla!!😂 I'm here!!
Came here from the big brother's podcast xD loved this!
I'm looking forward to more of mamas content.
16:10 Yukimi Daifuku is origin of mochi icecream(It's very first mochi icecream in the world).it's made by LOTTE(confectionery company of Japan)(founded by south koreans living in japan)
it's start selling in 1981.
😘
Did you guys just move to Japan and this is your way of touring it?
YouTube recommended me, Love the "are you youtuba" bit, guess it runs in the blood lol.😅
11:25
is that Yoshinoya?
I quite enjoyed your video. I imagine YouTube popped it in my recommendations because I am a Sharla and Chris subscriber. I always enjoy watching van trips and will definitely continue to follow your journey around Japan. I am glad YT suggested your channel. Safe travels.
I'm grateful to have discovered your channel through Sharla. I'm on bed rest for a bad herniated disc right now, so it's lovely to live vicariously through your Japan van adventures. I'll be binging more of your videos this week, cheers!
Found this thru Sharla, My Wife and I are now subscribers!🙂
(Now we need an episode of Chris showing you around Sendai!😁)
