  • Pete & Taylor at Always the Road

    Meet Pete & Taylor – vanlife nomads and explorers. They blog at alwaystheroad.com and have even written a 100+ page ebook on how to build a van conversion. Now they’ve embarked on building their second van.

    A little thing happened while they were in school, they skipped class and hit the trail for nine months to backpack Southeast Asia. That rip did the trick – they were hooked on the nomadic lifestyle.

    They have a lot of learning to share, with the van build and with living on the road. If this lifestyle speaks, sings, or shouts to you head on over to alwaystheroad.com and follow them on instagram at @alwaystheroad for the latest photos.

    That there is Sedona, Arizona near Oak Creek Crossing. I know that without them even having to say because I went to high school just down the road from there. Beautiful place Sedona.

    Oh and this is Snoop. He’s a 90-pound lapdog who snores when he’s awake, crushes you while cuddling, and has not one vicious bone in his body. He loves the #vanlife too. Woof!

  • Adam & Vanessa’s VanLife Experience

    Van dwellers Adam & Vanessa visit with tiny house dwellers Derek & Hannah at their homestead in Saint David, Arizona and get the full van tour! Adam & Vanessa also share what they’ve learned so far living a full-time vanlife.

    Adam & Vanessa built their van over 3 months and it cost about $28,000 US (2008 Sprinter van plus customizations). Inside they have a fully functional kitchen, bed, tons of storage, and a hidden composting toilet. They built all the cabinets themselves including the reclaimed maple countertops.

  • Dylan Tours Jenna’s House – Jenna Tours Dylan’s Van

    Jenna Spesard & Dylan Magaster have traveled all over North America interviewing folks that live alternative tiny lifestyles. In the two videos below they tour each other’s tiny living spaces.

    Jenna lives in a tiny house that she’s traveled in for more than 25,000 miles. She’s currently living in Oregon but spends much of her time these days traveling the world. On her YouTube Channel you can find many (but not exclusively) Tiny House tours and interviews. Subscribe to Tiny House Giant Journey on YouTube.

    Dylan lives in a van conversion. The van cost him $2,000 and the DIY conversion was just $3,500. So while his living space is not as comfortable as Jenna’s it gives him the freedom to travel and live the life her wants. On his channel you will find many (but not exclusively) VanLife tours and interviews. Subscribe to Dylan Magaster on YouTube.

  • Professional Model leaves Beverly Hills to Live in a Van

    Dylan Magaster shares an interview with Philippe LeBlond, a professional model who downsized to van life and isn’t looking back.

    Beverly Hills didn’t make him happy, so he decided to leave the big house and move into the van and live a life of adventure. Philippe shares gives us a tour of his van and what he’s learned from 3 years of #VanLife in the video below.

    Here’s one thing he says in the video:

    “#VanLife makes you a millionaire, life-wise. Do it!” – Philippe LeBlond

    I think the same can be said about tiny house life! In fact a van can be as much of a tiny house in my book.

    Be sure to follow Dylan on Youtube… he meets the most amazing people on the road.

    Oh and don’t miss out – follow Philippe on YouTube too. Below is a video from Philippe’s channel.

    Below are some photos from Philippe’s Instagram.

    Climbing, hiking, exploring. You make your own adventure.

    Some sights can only be seen when you take to your feet. Hike on!

    OK… who is his photographer? Nice one!

    More napping.
