VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
This 2000 Daihatsu Hijet Microvan is adorable! Nici and Max used to camp with a car and tent but quickly realized van life would enhance their journey and save much setup/breakdown time. Their DIY build is mainly sourced from recycled items and natural materials. The curtains are cut from an old table cloth that they dyed with tea, the side of the couch has a pattern made with popsicle sticks, and they also used some bamboo from their garden for decor!
There are two doors, one on each side. One is for an entrance, and the other was creatively used as an extension of the pantry. They managed to design a space where no food or clothing is visible, and things used daily have a proper spot. The tiny size of this rig suits the small streets of Europe well. It's shorter than Max (he's 6'4" for reference) and wide enough that he and Nici can cuddle at night. They've never had a problem going up steep inclines or maneuvering through quaint village roads.

Am I the only one shocked by the amount of storage they managed to create in this van??
Americans especially think they need more everything, space, power, speed and prestige, my wife and I used to tour extensively in a 550cc Honda Acty van, our biggest trip was from Sydney to Adelaide via Hay and back via Melbourne, that's about 3000 klm. they've both done really well. "Kenji and akari" from Japan have a fun UA-cam chanel on this subject.
@@metricstormtrooper lol many Americans don't live like this these days, also have you ever been to America??
@@metricstormtrooper generalizing wont do you much justice, there are plenty of americans that live in their cars (no renovations, etc) there is this woman i have seen a couple of her videos, she lives in her honda with her dog, she has a small mattress that goes from the passenger seat to about the back of her car, she has storage in there and everything. just because someone is american, australian, indian, etc dosent mean they are exactly like everyone else. ua-cam.com/users/BrookeandPippa here is the link to her youtube channel if you wanna proof check me/ check her out
I love the way they refer to the “living room” 🤗
@Molls No. I am also with you.... shocked!!! 😳
Incredibly resourceful couple. Fantastic use of every little nook and cranny. Love the fact they actually enjoy living in such close quarters..must be a very strong relationship. Congratulations on the build. Totally unique. Many more happy years of travelling together.. however you continue to do so. Hey from Australia.
I agree, too much togetherness.. but, they will make it… me, I would want the van for 1, which is not too safe. But sounds like they r not in America.m
Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, it was small 😅 But we did enjoy the coziness together 😊 Will definitely keep travelling whenever we can and want to visit Australia sometime as well! Greetings back from the Netherlands 👋
@@DoneJinzzz Come on down! 🇦🇺🦘

I would love to know more about the donkey.
The real star of this video! XD
@@niomeeabcd262 The truth it's the donkey push the van :)
Yeah how the hell did she not stop mid-sentence and say "Hey, a donkey! And then run off and pet the donkey?
Right!!!! Donkey was like 👀
@@danield2298 ahahahah
Adorable photo bomb by the little donkey🐎☺!
And here is the look on my face everytime you both showed a new layer of hidden efficiency storage➡😲.
Truly amazing. ✨🙌🏼
I'd love to see how long most really young couples highlighted on this channel end up living in these tiny spaces...I imagine 5 years at most, and that's probably generous. But even if just a few years, it's a great experience, because it teaches people how little they actually need of things to be happy in their lives. 👌
I love this so much! They make it sound like this huge mansion, going on and on with "there's lots of extra storage here, and here, and....", "welcome to our living area" and "we call it our attic" -- absolutely hilarious and ingenious! This tiny van is so neat, full of love and care, it's a great joy to watch and you two are very lucky.
آفرین به این این ساده زیستی 😊🌹🌹❤️❤️👏👏👏
Beautiful words👏👏
I love her outlook - most people would not call that leg room in the living area "quite spacious". Goes to show that you can be happy with anything you've got if you have the right mindset!
This is proof that human beings don’t NEED much stuff in order to live well. Love this! ❤️
Depends on what your standard of living is Ams?
@@Neil-Aspinall How do you define standard of living? Living simply actually increases my standard of living.
Honestly, I’d hate to live that way long term. What’s right for some isn’t necessarily right for others.
@@lunaroja777 Some people are spoiled and have never tried another way of life, so it only seems not right for them. Granted, this particular space is pretty darn small.
@@dustman96 Not judging either lifestyle. I like my space sometimes, and in that van I’d never be able to be alone if someone else lived with me. It’s just personal preference.
I had no idea a van could be so small. Your van is such an empowering lifestyle. Having less stuff so you can experience more life is VERY clean and purposeful. Thank you for sharing!
Exactly. Who needs stuff when you are enjoying your life!
Low fuel consumption compared to larger converted vans so much more eco friendly. Lovely little travelling home . Keep having fun 😊
big on fuel economy!
Amazing that this guy folds himself into that van.
She’s perfect for it!
Haha, yes it does seem like this van doesn't fit me, but after a while I always forget how tiny it is and it is honestly the coziest best I've ever had in my life!
@@DoneJinzzz
Good for you!
Envious of your adventures together!
This couple is relationship goals!!! Love the van and the way they are living their best lives!
Using every square CM of available space and it's incredibly well thought out. Well Done!! Zip~
They’re sweet. Make a nice couple. They seem happy and look happy. Love their tiny home. I wish them well.
❤️💜💚
What an enchanting couple. Gives me hope for the future to these guys have really done well to live sustainably and think about what they are consuming many props this was fantastic thank you!💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸
Best little van setup I’ve ever seen. Absolutely love ❤️ how it’s organized and both your your mind sets. Less is more.
Great van build! Incredible use of space and looks very nice, and that little van is awesome.
Such a happy, simple life. Congratulations. I loved watching how down to Earth yous both are. Im So glad to see natural, real humans showing a well designed, simple camper. Thankyou for your video.
You did a great job utilizing your space without it looking cluttered. I love your little van home. What a great couple you are. Thanks for sharing.
Just great to see what you can carry . We traveled 5,ooo kms from Canada to Acapulco Mex. And camped out of our V. W. Bug. Camp stove and food in trunk Bed and a few extra clothes inside.Gas 40 dollars ,early 196O.s .Up graded through the years.Now have 70 years of camping stories.
Is no one going to mention the Donkey that comes to visit? Cute van and cute neighbors. ;)
Nicely done. Wish i had a camper like that when I was a student 😊
So cute! I don’t know if you two adorable people make the little camper so cute or if it enhances your cuteness. Either way, you’re adorable, as is your tiny camper!!!💞
This is truly a life worth living. It's compact and well designed. 😌 it's really cute. The only issue is lack of a bathroom and way to wash clothing. But then again it's in Europe and they mentioned public rest rooms are everywhere. Love this tiny home 🏡
As a European I can attest to that. Because our landmass is tiny and we are many (xD) there is not much road left that isn't adapted to frequent bathroom breaks. Usually our autobahn has at least one modern toilet and fewer inbetween showers for truckers in most of the parking bays along the road every few kilometers. Public pools for little money are everywhere with showers. And we have many, many camp sites with the usual shower/restroom set up.
P.S. Those camp sites usually have cheap options for washing your clothes ( deep sinks at least, mashines more likely)
You can use bathroom anywhere in nature, have a small shovel and dig then cover and you only need to shower once a week really, and if you go beach, pools, gyms usually you find free showers.
I simply loved the camper van... It is even smaller than what we have here in India, but they managed the space very well... Awesome build... Thank you for sharing this with us... Loads of love from India to both the team and the couple...
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊
Love how the bed converts from living space. Nice idea
I owned the same van but never thought of converting it. I have larger right hand drive Japanese import, with a pop up tent on top, and now have a great idea on finishing my van conversion.
Your van may be small but it doesn't look cluttered at all. It's efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and eco-friendly.
PS. I love your photowall + clothing storage. Your photos are adorable ♥️.
Absolutely LOVE what you have done with your van. Wow!! And you guys are so special. We look forward to seeing more of your adventures!! Loved that you are able to eat so healthily without a fridge. Have fun guys!!
What an delightful couple! resourceful, creative minds to visualize this amazing use of space and beautifully finished. Best wishes from Atlanta, GA, USA!
Love this idea. I’m still a tent camper and it’s not a cracker box. It’s an instant tent that I myself can put up. All my gear fits in my Ford Explorer and I have a rooftop bag if needed. My pups and I are comfortable. I can even have my snow skis in the back for the winter here up on Mt Hood in Oregon US.
Wow you can fit a lot in such a small mini campervan. It's so cute, nicer than a huge one and more stealth. Love the natural materials you used and slide out kitchen. You are so creative at making spaces for all your needs. Thankyou for sharing.
These two are so cute!
Such a perfect example of how enjoyment of life is enhanced when one is not worried about things/possessions.
Very efficient build, so much space used amazingly well used…adorable….wow
That is such a cute build and so simply made to fit only what you need sufficiently and more😉👍
Thanks for sharing your beautiful little home, looks like it has everything you really need and nothing you don't!
8:51 Donkey: .....so whacha doin?

I love how you’ve created a comfy van life home in your tiny van. Simply beautiful❣️💓😇🙏🏽💗
I have NEVER EVER seen so much stuff stored so well in such a tiny area!!!! Genius use of all areas.
I also would love to know about the visiting donkey : )
Wonderful guys. Its all about positive attitude and adjustment and loving the blessings we have.
Such a darling couple! They're both so cute, but the gentleman could make a KILLING as a model! He is spectacularly handsome!
Very well planned! Every nook and cranny! The donkey is adorable as well!
Wow! It is fantastic the way you have laid out everything in such a small space. I just love it. Well done. It's also so neat and tidy and everything has its place. Thanks for sharing.
An absolutely adorable van! So inspiring- be blessed in all your endeavours folks xxxx

Amazing design for the interior! It looks very comfortable and practical too.
loved that hatchback for shelter with slide out kitchen
One of the best conversions I’ve seen. Love it. Brilliant use is space.
This is one of the cutest camper bands I think I've ever seen! Excellent use of space also.
One of the best home build camper videos I've seen. Truly inspiring couple
This is my dream life. I have been homeless before and loved it, the only thing missing was a car or a small van to get a roof over my head and a space to call home. I'm currently taking my drivers li e se and soon Im out on the roads again.
She is a beauty. You have done so much with so little space. Very impressed. Thank you for the tour.
Love how simple the van is and affordable but most of all what a beautiful lovely young couple. ❤️
I admire your consciousness toward the environment and the creative way you live. All the best!
Nicci and Max, Ollie is perfect! I hope you continue to have much fun and many adventures in your little home on wheels!
humility of these people are just amazing.
Very creative and utilitarian use of space. I really like your roof liner and using the natural solutions from your garden.
❤I believe the two of you found your favorite person❤ best adventures together. Love your happy home.
I love her message. Thanks for posting this video. This is really inspiring. 😊
Woah the use of the space, this is so incredible
Love this build. I really like the ceiling idea. I may use that in my future box truck.
Brilliant! What an incredible space you have created.
Really bright ideas for tiny van life,. it's really comfy and complete. Love it and am really inspired by your VAN ID ...thanks, Lis
Wonderful. Wishing you a great time travelling and living in your little home. Safe travels
What an adorable little van.
Love this little van and what they’ve done with it ❤
What you've achieved in very limited space is absolutely incredible. Well done!! I love your tiny home. It looks great and you have a reliable vehicle. Best wishes from Cape Town.😃🇿🇦
Amazing use of resources space storage travel time and a great relationship. 100%. Great tiny van xo
It was such a pleasure to a happy and contented couple. God bless you. You have done an excellent job at minimal cost. Wish you the very best.
This is fantastic! You did such a great job with the build! ❤️
This is the cutest van I have ever seen and they did such an amazing job maximizing the space.
The two of you are so down-to-earth and personable.:) How I wish we were doing such when I was young! And, how I appreciate/relate to your philosophies/'values.' You have created a wonderful, simple and cozy home - to include the use of natural materials/accoutrements. Splendid!!
Great job! I’m working on a movie truck conversion. I see having a small car to park anywhere is super nice. Having hood gas mileage also super good. I really like what you created.
very nice, they fit so much into a small space. love it
so inspiring! very innovative yet realistic, so often the van life builds are so complicated, it almost feels unattainable. but you guys did awesome and this feels like something most people could achieve if they put their mind to it :)
That is so well equipped... I love these micro campers x
Sweet little space with lots of love...stay Blessed
I love how you’ve utilized every square foot of space, and created a micro travel home - “Where there’s a Will, there’s a way”!
This might be my favorite build ever. Simple, resourceful and so clever!
Incredible ! They make it look so spacious
Back in late 80 I travel Australia and pick fruit in a Toyota lite ace never let me down happy travels.
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Very much inspiring to build in such a tiny van.hatsoff to both of you.👍👍👍
this is awesome! I love small micro campers! They can go anywhere and fit no problem! This is my dream!
Such a inspiration! I love everything about your van! You both also have amazing aura about you.
Love the ceiling decor..this home has it all..🤍
The little kitchen so cute..🥫🫕🥐
A lovely little van. I wish you all of the best - safe travels.
What a fun little van. My granddaughter is 4ft. 11 inches and Myron is 6 ft 3 inches. They love to go camping and plan on buying a van one day. Thanks for this nice video with these 2great young travelers.
Lots to learn from this nice couple. Excellent on all counts.
8:51 - you got a new fan! This is so great - endlessly lovely, thoughtful, tasteful and cute. Beautiful! Wishing you many wonderful and happy adventures in your Ollie.
Wow what a wonderful small van - very economical
Wanted to add - have watched your video 3 times, repeating some sections because it's ingenious such as: tiny top shelf, hidden panel storage, bamboo ceiling.
I discover your video just today. I really love this van. Efficient AND beautiful and cosy, not so easy but you succeed greatly. Well done !
Omg, so nice build and lovely people! Thanks for the video.
Small and cute. I love this van. 💛🇬🇧💛
