The van looks super cozy and wow, what a view. So happy for you guys living your dream.
It is suuuuper cosy! I love it on a night time with all the fairy lights on 🤗 thank you for your support and kind words!
You have both done an awesome job and made the most of being able to store all your belongings into a compact space whilst still having all you need. Keep living the dream.
Thank you so much! 😀❤️
I have the same van and I am absolutely in love with your build. I endevour to have my van look like yours
Please do a Q and A! I´ve got so many questions to ask you.. It looks so exciting!
-How do you shower/go to the bathroom?
-Where do you place your van in the evening?
-Do you still have your job in Queenstown?
-What do you spend your days on doing?
-Is it too tight with such little amount of space?
-Isn´t it really cold??
Love these questions, thank youu! Filing a huge Q&A tomorrow that i'll upload on Saturday and can't wait to answer these for you ❤️
you should do a q and a! i'm curious how you guys do things like showering/going to the bathroom. i've wanted to live in a van for ages but those things concern me.
Yes! Love this idea, going to film a Q&A tomorrow and upload it on Saturday, will answer your question for sure 😀
I am also traveling by remodeling a Hiace van.
WOW Kay the van turned out great. Looks like you two got everything you need. Enjoy your journey across New Zealand and be safe.
Thank you so much Cathy! So happy you like it! 😀❤️
Very nice build. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
It looks amazing! It must be wonderful to open up the tailgate in the morning and sit in bed drinking coffee looking out at the view ⛰. Next week I get to drink coffee on the balcony looking over the sea on the north Cornwall coast. My very own paradise! Love and hugs xxx
Ooooh well I hope you have an amazing time in Cornwall! I love it down there, Perinporth is one of my fave places ❤️ xxxx
Living the life you love Thankyou xx
Totally want to make a van like this for summer road trips! So inspiring 😍
Yessss, it would be amazing in summer! 😍
The van looks amazing. So cozy and inviting. Must be amazing waking up and looking our at the incredible views.
Thank you Libby!!! 😀🚌 We're absolutely loving it, you know I love to be cosy 😘
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this!😊 wow the van is amaaaaaaazing😯
Yayyy! Thank you so much 🤗❤️
It's simply great and good ideas for space and assignment of things you have in the van. Well done and well placed and easy and quick and stealth. Wish if I could be there but unfortunately I am in India and I am a big Maddy and real lover of Van Camping Culture. Hope you guys do good and meet good people and keep yourself safe from all the odds and specially from Covid. It's been amazing watching you do this video and ur the sweetest person I can say. Good luck guys and will try to watch more of your videos too. 👍
So happy for you! Can’t wait to do this myself.
It's so much fun! You're going to love it! 😀
Great job guys! What an awesome cosy home for the 2 of you... perfect! Happy travels ✌️
Thanks lovely!
Flo is looking fantastic! ❤️ Great job guys happy travelling! 😊 Keep posting I absolutely adore your videos and the two of you! 💚 Good Luck!🤗 love Jackie x ❤️🚐❤️🚐❤️xxx
Thank you my lovely!!! The feeling is mutual, we love your comments! ❤️ Hope you and your little ones are doing well xxx
I love it!!! I love how you guys used the spaces so well and everything looks so well organized! Also reminded me i should get to my van tour video already haha 🤗
Thank you! 🤗 It's made me so excited to make our own van from scratch one day so we can make use of the space! I'd love to see your van, it's so nice watching your little adventures ❤️
The van looks awesome, nice cosy little setup you've got there 🙂❤
Thank you, we're so in love with it! 😀🚌❤️
That van looks cozy and inviting and comfortable !
Thank you, that's a huge compliment! ❤️
It looks like a dream! It's just super cozy 😊 Hopefully some day I'll be able to have something similar 🙌
It's wonderful and cosy! I'm sure you will my lovely, keep working towards your dreams 🙌🏼✨
You guys did a great job with getting it all set up it looks awesome :) :)
Thanks lovely! So happy you think so! 😀
Love your cardboard cupholder...what a good idea! I shall make one for my vehicle for take-away coffee
Yay! That's a great idea, it works really well too and much better than your coffee sliding around the car 🙈😀
tell me about it! My car has drowned in coffee more than once!
Really interesting vid guys. Loved the setup. i wish i could get away in it.
Hehe thank yoooou, we're really pleased with how it's turned out 😀
Amazing how much stuff you have got in quite a small space! Good organisation is key, clearly :-)
Thank you! Yesss organisation is everything! 😀
Wow! Good job guys!
Thank you lovely! 🤗
Would love to see your morning/coffee procedure. 🌺☕☕
That is some storage!! 🏂🏂
Ooooh love that idea 😀❤️ hahah I know right, so much snow gear! 😅😂
Happy for you!
Thank you!
@@Livingthelifeyoulove do you think the Toyota is big enough for you two? I'm tossing up a Toyota HiAce or a Mercedes sprinter, liking the idea I can stand up inside the sprinter
I just adore you Kay!!! This is SO so exciting and I am so happy for you guys. Livin the "tiny" dream 💕
When I am shipping globally with Zero Waste Kit I am totes sending you guys some.
xoxo,
Marina
The feeling is soooo mutual 😘 I was on your insta this morning and felt an overwhelming sense of happiness, i'm so proud of you + your kits look AMAZING! You're doing wonderful things Marina, love you girl! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video, your van looked amazing ! Which campground is that ? It's absolutely gorgeous !!
Great job! I love it!
Thank youuu!
Wonderful van tour!
Thank youuuu! 😀
Looks nice! We have the same van
The van looks amazing and so well organised considering you have fit most of what was in the apartment in there! What do you guys get up to during the day now that your living in a van? xox
Thank you lovely! It was a mission fitting it all in, like a big jigsaw puzzle 😅😂 we're on a road trip so most days we go off on a hike 🤗 xxx
This Is Sooo Neat!
Heheh thanksss!
Beautiful van layout
Thank you so much! 🤗🚌
Lol banana hammock 😂 love it 😁
Hahah it works so well 🍌😂
Looks great!!! It's illegal to have a gas bottle in a van here in Australia but would be sooooo much better than the small ones we use 😆😆😆
Very practical setup yet still very pretty and homely 🤗🤗
Ooh thats interesting, we didn't know that! The little ones are so annoying aren't they! 😂
I am very happy that your dream came true and I am impressed how beautiful your space looks like inside, very cosy, home sweet home vibe! I would love to have a tiny house in the future, but with toilet + shower, because I have recurring UTIs and I am paranoid if I don't have a warm toilet, tissues, warm water at all times etc., although I am trying d-mannose supplement and it's helping me so far (fingers crossed). Good luck with your journey, have a wonderful weather and the best time ever!
Thank youuuu! I'm good at making things cosy, it's my forte! 😂❤️ Van life is quite hard when it's cold and don't think I could do it long term in the winter months, i'd need a toilet and a heating source for sure but it's ok for a little while for me. I'm glad to hear the supplement is helping you. 😊 Keep on manifesting your dreams lovely xx
You've done a brilliant job on the van and it looks cosy.Do you have any source of heating in the van? Looking fowards to future videos on van life in this beautiful country.
Thank you Diane! 😀❤️ We're filming a bit Q&A tomorrow and it will be up on Saturday answering looads of questions but the short answer to your question is nope we don't. ❄️😂
Awesome, well done on the improvements by the way guys :) Also, can't wait to see more of New Zealand with you, and Flo's face-lift of course (is that sexist??? Sorry Flo!)! Have an amazing day guys xx
Thank you so much my lovely ❤️ Hahaha yess i'm looking forward to her face lift too 😂 her roof is so white compared to the rest since we painted it. So eager to do the rest! xx
It looks amazng :)
Thank youuu ❤️
Well organized! You kind of have to be when you have two people living in a small space!
Thank you! Yessss you sure do, it's so important! 🙂
I like this video because it’s a 100 series Hiace.
Yesss, our Hiace was great!
1st for today lovely vid guys xx
Woo! 🤗 Thank you xx
Looks very much like albert town near wanaka.
It was! Good eyes. Such a lovely place 😀
Did you buy this van already fitted out? Just curious as I'm looking to do the same thing when I move to Australia at the beginning of 2019. Any advice would be appreciated if you did!!
Hey! 😊 It was already mostly fitted when we bought it but we did some DIY's on it including some wood work. We bought wood from the local hardwear store, a drill, nails and a saw and that was all we needed to do lots of things! 😀 Here's the link to our van refurb video playlist - ua-cam.com/video/rn5nbUjS-1U/v-deo.html
@@Livingthelifeyoulove nice one!! I'll check it out now 👍
Are you still in New Zealand? I`m in the middle of the North Island by Mt Ruapehu, and just found your channel. I, too have a Toyota HiAce but a supercustom camper. Kia ora, welcome to Aotearoa
We sure are! 😀 Oooh your van sounds wonderful, hope you're having an amazing time too! 😍🚌❤️
@@Livingthelifeyoulove I`m only going on short trips at the moment, but found some amazing DOC camps near by. lol with a town called National Park nearby, you gotta expect something !!!
Sounds wonerful! There are so many greta DOC & Freedom camps where we are in Otago too 🤗 Have fun lovely x
How do you do?
A nice car！
I get on Ground hiace!
Full-time vanlife is being enjoyed.
So happy you are enjoying van life too 😊
@@LivingthelifeyouloveThank you very much 😊.
Where did you get those bed cushions? ^_^
We got the bedding with the van 🙂 I think they're from The Warehouse & if you mean the foam that we sleep on then I'm not sure as we bought them with the van 💛
Pardon my poor vision but when you were setting up the bed I thought you were using some kind of camera edit/trick. I seriously thought there were two of you. Then it hit me that it was your partenr helping you to set it up. lol
Hahaha yes he helped! 😂
Is this a sendup???
Kay, how long are you both planning on living the van life? and did you have to downsize your possession much when moving in? Now on to the other channel 😊❤️great video btw
We're hoping to live in the van for the next 5ish months and then come back to QT for the next now season 😀 We haven't really got rid of anything tbh, we just left all of the stuff behind that came with the apartment 😊❤️
Living the life you love hopefully one day I’ll fit all my things into a van like this or into a tiny house 😊thanks for the reply
👍👍👍 Very nice👍👍👍
👍👍👍 Bird logo on the front and side pretty much. 👍👍👍
👏👏👏 In the car is very natural to use. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much! 😀❤️
@@Livingthelifeyoulove 👍👍👍
🍌 banana hammock 🤣
Looks awesome. Are you using a phone camera or a camera to film this? It's so clear, looks great.
It's a camera 😊 I use a Canon M50 glad you think it looks great!
@@Livingthelifeyoulove Seriously, it's so clear, I feel like I could touch you, lol. That sounds a bit wrong 😳 lol. So did you buy your van in NZ?
Hahhaa that's good to hear & I totally know what you mean! 😂 We sure did, we bought it in Queenstown NZ 😄
@@Livingthelifeyoulove Lol, phew. Ah, okay. Was trying to work out how you got it from England to NZ, lol.
How do you make your deodorant 💜
Looks awesome! I'm pretty sure you changed the name a while back, but what was wrong with Vandalf??? Lmao #LotRNerd Anyway, love from California!
Hahahah 😂 we contemplated keeping it but felt like she was a she and Vandalf was too masculine! Since naming her I keep referring to her as 'vannie' though so may have named her too soon! 😂
Where are you guys now?
We're just touring the South Island at the moment and went to Milford Sound yesterday 😀
@@Livingthelifeyoulove I live in Luggate near Wanaka and have followed you since before you came to New Zealand. If your coming this way your welcome to stay with us
See you Thai land I want to build same you with camper car
