I had a cafe/bar/music venue just outside Geelong and this guy walked in one day and asked if he could play so he pulled his guitar out and started singing. After selling my cafe in 2022 I decided to travel the country with my dog Flow. October 2023 I went to a Vanlife Gathering in the Numinbah valley QLD and ran in to the same guy running workshops and selling coffee. For a big country it’s very small. Hey love following your journey on all the platforms 🙏
That sounds like Tom who I did a video with a few weeks ago! 😅 I couldn;t agree more, it's crazy the people I bump in to! Thanks so much for your support 🤗
Last year i got a Toyota hi ace 1990 . I recently got to do a road trip from Townsville to Brisbane in the van for the first time. I loved it so much so comfortable I feel I am ready to do can life fill time. I got back to work and felt I wanted to be back on the road. Before the van I would do week end trips in my car. I am still in the process of letting go of my stuff
Wonderful video!! Your videos are so well made. No wonder your channel is blowing up. 100k in 2025. As a UA-camr on my second month I appreciate the Designs a lot. Andre
Hello, very good thoughts. I am retired sinse last year- So I was this year 2 month in Spain. I slept in my little car. Smaller is better! It was so good for me to look at the waves and make absolutely nothing!!! I have temporaly elektricity and a little toilet ( for outside use ) with me. In autum I will go to Andalusia. Many Regards from Berlin, Ralf
Love this! We all do it differently based on what we feel comforatable with, but ultimately enjoying all the freedom that comes along with the lifestyle 🤗
Hi 🙋♀️ thankyou for sharing. love how everything has worked out for you. 💜I hope my dream to fuind a remote job (not very skilled im afraid) and buy a van works out for me , I have some challenges to work through to get there.
HI there, thank you for watching! I believe if we have an inner 'knowing' that it will happen it will work out. Take inspired action and trust it will happen, I'll see you on the roaaaadddd ❤😁
Yes I have Starlink! Keep meaning to do a video on it but haven't had a chance haha. I got the starlink mini, its porttable or can mount it. I'll try do the video in the coming weeks 😉
Great video and info ❤ with regards to stealth, I’ve often wondered if it could be a detriment to look like a regular ‘tradie’ van in the suburbs as it might be a target for thieves? I’ve thought about being the opposite and wrapping my van in signage for my business as it would not be expected an artist lives in a van 😂
Thanks so much! 🙏 I often have this exact debate with myself! I've never had any issues feeling safe but I do try to park in nicer suburbs in residential areas. I keep telling myself to put my socials and branding on the van, but then I worry that I wont be able to blend in and hide when I want to haha
Hi ... :) Thanx that was very informative and raw . Am about to take the last step out of a shack n into my Van . Question .. Should I , or did you put the last personal things that would'nt fit into Storage ? Its a delema ..
Thanks so much for the feedback and support 🙏 So exciting for you!! I really only had 2-3 items left which I have left with family. You could use storage initially just so you can try the lifestyle out first. For me personally the onlyl thing that held real value to me was a suitcase of photos (70's child here 😂)
@@eucalyptdesigns Its cool , thank you . Yeh 79's Child , hahe . Yeh Baby Childhood things , teddies , photo's n things . Not sure I can cut them loose . But everything thing else I hav'nt missed at all . I feel its like dragging around all this useless luggage through life . And to be like a Turtle , which has only what it needs :)
@@eucalyptdesigns Theres a fine line between , when what you possess and have , actually owns you ... and 2 find what we actually need 2 survive . And the adventure of letting go . I personally dont miss anything when its gone ...
Very welcome! I was just hot spotting my phone but have just started using a telstra portable wifi so I'm not overheating my phone. I am almost at the point of trying starlink though, I chew through a lot of data uploading YT videos so unlimited and more available wifi is tempting me!
Really enjoyed your video. No hype, no glorification, very realistic and level-headed points.
Oh thank you so much for the feedback and support! 🙏
@@ValueCarsAU I agree

Oh I love this, reminds me of starting my journey ☺ Once you have experienced this life it's hard to turn your back on it! 😁
Enjoyed very much 🤠🇨🇦🚐

Finance background with artistic tendencies and a gypsy spirit. What an enigma!!. You are a mystery wrapped in an Excel spreadsheet! Good for you!
😅 I think this is the best way someone has described me yet! 🤗🙏
@@eucalyptdesigns yes far better than saying one is an oxymoron I feel ;-) Your channel is very interesting. I have really been enjoying your content.
@@EYEMISSSEINFELD Haha for sure ☺ Thanks so much, I greatly appreciate the feedback and support 🙏
Great video, thinking of this lifestyle . Same single and kids are all left home. Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much 🙏 Sounds like it's your time 🤗
@@Stu-ky5ut great time to do it.

Literally my dream. Regret never getting my drivers license done. Been living in Australia for 1½ years and this has been one of my main goals!
What's stopping you now from getting it?? If you take the steps towards our goals, you might be surprised at how quick they can manifest for you ☺
Great informative video. Well done.
Thanks so much! 🙏☺

Thanks Andre! 🙏
What do you do for Wifi? Can you use Starlink if you’re a traveller - so you happen to know. Thank you 🙏
Yes I have Starlink! Keep meaning to do a video on it but haven't had a chance haha. I got the starlink mini, its porttable or can mount it. I'll try do the video in the coming weeks 😉
@ thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Quick response. Can’t wait to see your new changes.

Can I ask where you got your electrical work installed?
Sure! I used Outech in Dunsborough WA ☺
Thanks for all the info- what wi fi set up do you have for your business?

Thanks. I have been looking at Night Hawk as Starlink is so expensive month to month. Happy travels. Hope to see you on the road somewhere 🌈🌻
@@karendawson9372 oh I’ve never heard of Night Hawk, I will look into it!! 🙏
