VANtastic Journey
United States
Приєднався 2 тра 2021
After years of following society's definition of a successful life, we decided that there is more to life than the 9-5, large home...vacation home, and new cars. We learned that this lifestyle is tied to the need to work more, make more and buy more. We've decided to take another approach. An approach of minimalism, purchasing only what brings joy to our lives and living debt free traveling the US.
A few songs we have been working on. The Highway Drifters
Roland normally plays bass and Julie plays the drums, but we have been switching it up and trying new things. Here are some recordings of Roland on Guitar and Julie on bass. When I recorded we just had the camera pointed towards the ceiling, so no video. I figured I may as well add some old video to it so you were not just staring at the ceiling. We are finally finding the time to learn some music together, and having fun doing it!

We had such a great time on this ride. It was pretty fast pace and exciting! We rode to The Spanish wall, Apache Mine and Hogsback. Thanks Lee for being such a great guide.

Converted Utility Trailer and Van tour
Переглядів 465Рік тому
Since we are now full-time nomads, we added this utility trailer to our van to extend our living space. Take a tour of the inside of both the trailer and the van to see what we have done to make it more comfortable for full time RV living.

I love Leland glad you enjoyed it, grew up not far away and still live in the area.
Great River! 🤘🏼
Can't believe you survived.
You got thar big battery bank u not playing lololol
That cabinet, bed, & the storage bins under it will make potentially lethal projectiles in the event of a serious wreck....ever hear of inertia or a van bulkhead????
Are you kidding me, this looks like a small beautiful apt, great decor, I wish this tour was longer, many blessings. Do another tour and make it longer, I enjoyed this.
Shoes!!
You should try it on a raft made out of inner tubes and an old cot , LOL! What stretch is this? Where did you put in?
I love this video so much! Followed and subscribed!
Amazing they all sound great
You two sound great!
This is so good! My favorite is "All I want!"❤
You guys are incredible….and I like #2!!!
Beautiful video. Thank you for the encouragement and sharing your struggles and perspective. You handle it all with much grace and beauty. Take good care.
Love watching your adventures!!
Thanks Pam❤️
Awww... you two are so adorable! ❤ Loved the scenery and we've never done Zion. Definitely on our list.
Ok, so this is weird. Roland, you've always reminded me of a friend that I grew up with. About 15 minutes ago, I finished scrolling through pictures that his wife put up on Facebook of their family trip in Zion. Then, I opened up UA-cam and saw this video. I've never seen you both in the same room. However, you both are apparently in the same park.
That’s funny! 😄
You guy's look great! I just missed you. I was there just a couple days ago. Yes, very crowded. Hope to see you down the road. Safe travels. 🚐
Beautiful. Happy Birthday
I love your van it’s really nice
Thanks!
No toilet?
In this old van we had a bucket 🪣 with a toilet seat…cheap and effective solution 😅
Paul and Babe used to be next to the fire watch tower on the shore of Hubbard Lake (showing my age) . The speaker in Pauls pocket was hooked up to a microphone at some point. They were created by the same guy that did Dinosaur Gardens in Ossineke.
We certainly enjoyed our visit to Ossineke!
It's so weird how much stuff you can get in the van.❤❤❤
I know right! It’s so much fun putting it all together. Since going full time we introduced a bigger van and a converted utility trailer…it’s perfect for full time living and we absolutely love it ❤️
@@vantasticjourney4246 but do you really want all that stuff crashing forward into the back of the driver &/or passenger during a wreck??? I'm stunned how many people don't think about the physics of driving a van full of stuff...often hard metal & wooden objects...and never consider what kind of projectiles they'll become during a serious traffic accident... Ever hear of a van bulkhead??? A headache rack on a pickup truck??? They exist for a good reason.
Awesome videography!
Thanks so much! 😊
Great tour! You fit so much in a tiny organized space.
Thank you!
Looks like a fun ride
LOL we call them the FU cactus cause they look like they are sticking the middle finger at you!! Another great hike guys!! Loved it!! 🌺Lori&Ruben🤙🏽
lol! I thought the same thing😄
Awwwww you guys are the cutest!! Congratulations 🙌🏽🔥 we just recently got married on the Oregon Coast and so magical! You guys definitely inspired me 😅 now I want to take wedding pics in so many different places 🥰
Super cool
Love the desert bar!! So much fun just getting there
LMAO I am so scared of heights 😅 not sure I would’ve done it! I’m getting braver thou. You should see when I went up the Astoria Column 🤦🏻♀️ I thought I was falling 😂😂😂 🌺Lori&Ruben🤙🏽
lol! Yeah it feels like I don’t trust my body to make the right decisions. Lol! Like it’s in flight mode and may just take off on me. We just went for a side by side ride last weekend…ended up on a trail at the peak of a mountain…just enough room for the side by side…drop offs on both sides…I did it! Just gotta get over the fear😄
Looks great!
Thanks! We sitting here in our little home right now watching a little tv😊 loving it so far😊
We drove over that bridge a few weeks ago. Couldn’t believe how crowded it was! Looks like you hit it on a good day 😊
I am MAJORly excited that I found this video.
It's so homey! You guys have done a great job. Can't wait to see all your new adventures!!
Wow! Your set up is so pretty and homey. Thanks for sharing this because I was dying to see what the inside of the trailer looked like. See you down the road...❤
Love Leland
Lol we all learn and some of us learn the hard way
Awww. Congrats!
This was the best place in the world for Drag boatracing.....
Keep on paddling in The Boardman Waters.
I never expected the desert to be so stunningly beautiful. This place of amazing people is wherever WE consciously lay those roots of the mighty tree of life. Thank you for sharing your journey. ♥️ Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
The Hills, Sunrises, and Sunsets are pretty epic. And yes the dirt/sandstorms are crazy! Also agreed the people here are genuine, helpful, and kind. 😍 Happy and safe travels!😎
😎🤠🤠
😎😎😎
Beautiful ❤️
Sold a lot of audio with The Eagles and that town...
How fun!! I need a drink of water now! 😂
Lol! That’s so funny…we felt the same after editing the video 😂
Nice Park! Do you like the neck fan?
Yes! The park was beautiful. And Julie loves the fan. Makes such a difference on hot summer days…highly recommend. Oh and it’s rechargeable which makes it nice😊
So pretty, what was the temperature?
At that time of the day I think we were at 28 degrees. Yeah it was really cool to wake up to all that snow 😊
@@vantasticjourney4246 in the video, you didn't look cold at all!
