Who we are?
We’re An and Yves and together with our van Boris we're driving to Kathmandu!
We share a passion for travelling.
It’s not our first travel experience but the first time we start sharing our stories on UA-cam and Instagram. There has to be a first time for everything!
While we were working and living in Thailand, he travelbug bit us again so we decided to quit our job and dive into travelling, full time.
Unfortunately, at that time our planet was hit by an unprecedented pandemic so we decided to return to our basecamp in Belgium to convert a 5-year Peugeot Boxer into a campervan to be ready to start travelling again when the situation starts improving!
Our goal is to inspire you to follow your passion (big or small) and to see and experience the world with your own eyes.
By sharing our stories we hope we can inspire one another on their own journeys.

From Föhr Island to Hamburg & Lüneburg: German Travel Adventures | Van Life Germany #91
This is going out with a bang!
Guess what! This is our last week here before we return to Belgium.
We kick off the week with an amazing day trip to the Wadden island of Föhr, the favourite island of our besties @neulandstories!
We can totally see why they even got married here! We have an amazing time cycling around the island.
After this, we follow Svenja and Basti's advice and make a quick trip to Hamburg. We end the week in Lüneburg, a pleasant town where Svenja went to university.
Enjoy this one and... be kind, always!

Welcome back❤ great vlog .bless you both.❤
It would be great if your van were a Volkswagen Camper to capture the same feeling of the 70s☺
Our first choice was an old Volkswagen van, which would have been amazing, but unfortunately these are also known for their many mechanical faults. Let's just say I have two left hands... In hindsight, we definitely made the best choice (we love the space in the van), although the roads in Nepal proved to be a challenge for our van. Thanks for watching!
Super vidéo
Thank you for watching, glad you liked it!
Not in hurry !!! best thing to hear 😊
Oh, we've never been and we never will be! Thanks for watching!
You forgot the history of Khun Sa.
Besides other things probably 😉...
What brand are the vegan shoes out of interest??
You'll never believe this, but the brand's name is... 'Vegetarian Shoes' 😊!
What a beautiful place ❤
We agree, thanks for watching!
OMG - we loved loved loved your Vlog 😍 Unbelievable what great weather you had, in October pure sunshine ☀️ and no wind is truly rare on Föhr. We’re really glad you had a good time follow our path through north Germany. We wished we could’ve shown you around. But there’s always a next time. ❤ See you in 2025! Save travel back to Belgium and we can relate to that weird feeling of returning home, after such a long long time on the road. Love you guys - stay safe! 🥰
It's 100% thanks to you guys we had such a great time in North Germany, thanks for the many tips again!!! And ... "see you in 2025!" ... we'll hold you to it!!!
@ ♥️♥️♥️
☺
Thanks for watching!!!
Hello, how are you? I am a regular viewer of your UA-cam channel. I came here to say that- Your content is always engaging and incredibly well-presented!" Good luck to you. 🩵
Yeah, this is great to read! Glad you love our content, THANKS!
welkommen back:)
Thank you!
Lord buddha was born in lumbini,Nepal. Do you knew that after visiting??
Yes, we knew, this was actually our main reason to visit this site!
@AFlaneursQuest thank you as india always give wrong narration to the European countries that buddha was born in india for tourism and they made exactly the same copy and name too. They dominate nepal politically and we hate that.
@@iamawesomeVlogs007 this was our third visit to Nepal and we wanted to visit Lumbini for many years already! This time, with our own wheels, we finally managed to do this!
Ik ɓen was Belg en leef sinds 40 jaren in Nepal. Nu 80 en waarschijnlijk mijn laatste jaar. Te veel corruptie.
Tja, jammer genoeg hoorden deze klacht van te veel mensen...
How much did the entire setup cost?
Hard to tell, we built this van four years ago. I was lucky to use materials and tools that were on hand (my father in law was a carpenter), and we used quality materials where possible, so... one can make it as expensive or cheap as one wants...
@AFlaneursQuest awesome!
welcome to Nepal both❤️love from Nepal🇳🇵❤️
Thank you, but we've already left Nepal (unfortunately...)!
Very nice. Keep it coming.
Thanks, will do!
The beaches look amazing
Was a real surprise for us, ro see these sandy beaches!
Good time Very good thanks✔🍀👍❤
Thanks for watching!
Welcome to Pakistan
Thanks, but we already left in the meantime!
love your vlogs, watched them all - honestly have no idea why you don't have more viewers. we hope you are not going to stop travelling/vlogging when you get back to Belgium?
Thanks a lot for your support! And no worries, we already have exciting plans for the near future!
Can't look at your beard 😐
Haha, I've some good news for you: he's gone!
Hi. What time of year was this filmed thankyou
@@davidjones480 this must have been around April 2023!
Thanks for sharing as always, awesome sunsets. Great spot for tranquil breakfast and the apple cake looked sooo good and light! Aww and fries …couldn’t have been bigger 😲 interesting vlog and nice soundtrack 🥰
We've camped at some great spots in Poland, always next to a stream or lake! The Masurian Lake District is a must visit!
Great vlog thanks guys x
Glad you enjoyed it
3pm cappuccino??Have I taught you NOTHING ??! 🙄🤣🤣🫣
We desperately need a few more one-to-one lessons!
Gdansk looks amazing 😊
Gdańsk was an amazing surprise! It's such a great city!
Great vlog as always, you guys deserve tons more subscribers as your content is good and the vlogs are very well edited 🎉
Wow! Thank you so much for these amazing compliments. We're really happy you like our content!
Loved the vlog! Takes is back in time. So many good memories. Gdańsk is a beautiful town, with loads of fantastic Café and restaurants. The pierogi looked delicious!!! 🤤
The pierogi looked absolutely delicious and tasted even better! And Gdansk is an absolutely fantastic city!
you have picked some epic nature camping spots on your journeys! that place at the start looked beautiful. lovely video again, thank you.
The natural beauty of Poland is simply incredible! We look back on our time there with nothing but fond memories!
The vegan pierogi looked amazing 😋
We were so lucky to get to taste these before we drove on!
Which software do you use on your mobile?
I'm using Apple's iMovie!
No I see something I don't recognize for traveling, on your mobile phone. It is something on iPhone? I have Android. Thank you for your answer.
Cool vibe. Nice van 👍
Thanks! 👍
Aww nice kayaking looked so lovely … and you went into the cold waters … well done you🙏🩷💙thanks for sharing another vlog … getting close to home 😎🩷
This one was on our bucket list, kayaking in Poland! Thanks for watching ❤!
@@AFlaneursQuest aww well you achieved it for sure!! ✔️🩷
I understand your opinion about Warsaw. This city may indeed seem soulless - in fact, there are virtually no old buildings left. Almost everything was rebuilt from scratch after World War II (Warsaw was razed to the ground during the uprising)
Thank you for your understanding 🙏!
Nice vlog guys thanks so much. We look forward to it every Sunday x
Yay! Thank you, glad to hear this 🙏!
I think we used one of those showers, too. 😅 We tried to remember how our time in Warsaw was. But I think we didn’t spend too much time there. 😅 we loved Krakau! Beautiful little Oldtown and loads of coffeeshops and bars 🍻🥂
These free (and clean!) showers on the highways are incredible. We've never been so clean on this trip as in Poland!
which camera you are using for your videos reply please
We're using the Nikon Z fc to make these vlogs.
Appreciated your vlogs … 12 euros to visit Bhaktapur isn’t that expensive, actually. European museums are much more expensive. Your money helps to keep the city clean and going. This city is part of the UNESCO World heritage.
A city is still not a museum, luckily I would say! And since Bhaktapur is stil in Nepal and not in Europe, €12 is pretty steep... Thank you for watching!
Aww thanks for Sharing…. You manage to find some great stops for night by lakes 😉 Great free showers… and nice to share some time with friends again. Hmmm I have to agree about the capital … but hey you found vegan cinnamon buns and good coffee ❤️
Warsaw was probably the city too much on this trip... It's always great to share time with friends around a fire!
Hey guys … we really enjoyed your vlog… we noticed some nice camerawork !!! And shooting yourselves individually as you talked about van life etc … was a lovely touch🥰 Well done Yves for being so acknowledged and rewarded , for his act of bravery and compassion … a true star 🌟 Thanks again for sharing 🙏 PS nice sound track too 🩷
Oh well, I don't feel so brave, just did what anyone would do...! Thanks for watching!
@@AFlaneursQuest well the point is … it was you …and what you did was an act of bravery! And you saved a life 🙏😎💙
For next time you are near Zakopane…we discovered an excellent vegan restaurant there called ‘Las’ highly recommend ❤
Thanks for the tip!
Great to see you guys again this week. I understand your excitement for the frothy milk - it’s game changing. Do you plan to produce a map with your park ups?
Sorry, we're not going to make a map with our park ups... we camped @ 300+ spots on this trip alone 😉
This lady is so pretty, specially with her glasses..
Thanks.
Great vlog. You are welcome to stay at VIP Lenin Street Hostel in the very central part of Tiraspol.
Thanks for the tip, maybe for next time. We already left the country unfortunately...
nice video...never seen anything abut this place before.
Glad you enjoyed!!!
Lekkere chocolade van de Lidl! 😂
In de Lidl vind je gewoon alles😜
Criticism is really easy. Try Criticism your country first. As a guest , try to at least good thing too.
In Europe, we don't lock up our guests 😉... Very unfortunate that it is so difficult to discover this beautiful country...
Also in my experience it was harder to froth non dairy milk so don't beat yourself up about it ❤
We bought a new milk frother in the meantime (with a 100% succes rate 😉)!
Wow those ear candles were amazing! I must try it! 😮
You should!
