I’m so impressed by your van tour. You have been living in your van for two years and you still have everything in order. You have a cozy bed, a functional kitchen, a composting toilet, and even an outdoor shower. You are living the van life dream. I’m living in a house and I can’t even find my keys
Great video once more! I love to spend time outdoors, no matters if it's gardening, hiking or building my future home on wheels 😊 But my favourite activity is to see my dog becoming the wild goat he really is while we enjoy mountain hikes together 😂. Thanks for your calming and inspiring videos, they're so motivating!!
Maddie, thank you for the update on your van! My favorite activity outside is taking the road/trail less traveled, exploring these is so interesting to find what others might be missing because of being in a hurry or just not wanting to explore. I have all my life got so much personal enjoyment from the adventure. I have found so much healing through your channel over the last two years. 🙏🏻🥰
Maddie you are the best! I’ve always loved your van build and it’s cool to see an update. I actually just started building out a ford e350 so the timing of this video was impeccable! Wishing you well always :)
Coastal walking, the smell of fresh sea air. When relaxing the sounds of the sea crashing on the beach. So peaceful.
My favorite thing to do outdoors? I love to listen to the birds, the wind breeze, the rustle of leaves, the smells of summer doing whatever I’m doing outside, savoring every moment… we only get 2 months of it. I’ll take what I can get! Purple would be my preference 😊
I've watched a lot of van tours, and you've got a really wonderful setup. You've made room for extra conveniences that most likely help prolong your enjoyment on the road. Happy to see that you focused on why you needed, rather than what everyone else typically does. Overall, great build!
I love sitting outside in the sun and reading and any one doesn’t matter
this is mint! i love the fact that you can see this van is used! I could see myself travelling in it to each new adventure! and a lovely narrator as well! CHEERS!
I love to swim in the ocean, diving under the waves! I'd love a blue bottle, the colors are all so pretty! Thank you! 💙
I have to say that I have enjoyed every video of yours I have seen. I love your creative style, please don't stop. My favorite out door activity, whether I am on a hike or camping or just spending the day in the mountains, is to sit and just listen for about 20 to 30 minutes. I find it very, not only relaxing, therapeutic but grounding as well. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I know I've said it before, but I just have to say it again - Maddie! There is no van in any van build video as amazing as yours! The aesthetic, the soft colors, the hominess, the fact that you can just tell it's yours - I just love it! And don't worry about the tape on the floor and stuff like that - it's character and memories, and it all happened because you dared to step out into the world and journey! Think of the cracks and kinks as souvenirs! :)
When it comes to the bottles, I love to garden and work outside. I'm a teacher, so in the summers when I'm not working on curriculum or doing the daily mom thing, I work in the yard and garden as much as possible. I would choose the green b/c it's my favorite color!
I don't want to take up too much of your time with a huge long comment here, so next time I'll tell you about this book I think you should add to your collection :) Safe travels, and snuggle Eliza for us all!
Maddie, you're van is so comfy and warm 💗 Stay safe and be happy.
Having watched hundreds of van life videos, this one is simply the best. Phenomenal job, I learned a ton, thank you!!
Hey Maddie, hope you are well today. My favourite activity outside is paddleboarding and hiking. I also just love coffee on the deck. Simple is my jam. I would love the lavender bottle. You are a great inspiration to all.
Love seeing your videos, Maddie! So proud of you that you are taking on the world all by yourself and sharing your adventures with us. I have been in a PhD program and your videos are my go-to when I am doing long hours of analyses and writing. Due to my academic burden, I have not been able to go camping and hiking which used to be my hobbies but I hope to finish soon and explore the great outdoors. My favorite thing to do outdoors is actually river bathing and meditating and I cannot wait to do all these again. Lots of Love from India!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, Maddie! It's amazing to hear that my videos have been a source of inspiration for you during your PhD program. I completely understand how time-consuming it can be, but I'm glad you have something to look forward to once you finish. And river bathing and meditating sound like such peaceful and rejuvenating activities. When you're ready to explore the great outdoors again, I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's a versatile and powerful backup power solution that can keep your devices and appliances running for extended periods, perfect for outdoor adventures. Keep up the great work on your PhD journey, and sending lots of love from an outdoor enthusiast like myself!
My favorite thing to do outside is power walks while enjoying nature!🌻🌱🐾 Loved the pink colored bottle!🌸 Thanks for the updated 'van tour'. We can learn so much more through someone else's experience!💛
I just love simple walking around whether it be around the block or in the woods. 😊
Hi Maddie. I have been watching your videos almost since the beginning of your journey and I have really enjoyed following you on your adventures. I have severe mobility issues so outdoor physical activities are pretty much non existent. But I love nature and am blessed with a home with loads of windows and loads of greenery outside. I live in a very hot climate so my favorite thing is to sit bedside the beach and watch the waves, the sky and being grateful for all my blessings. Keeping hydrated is so important and one of your bottles would be wonderful. The blue reminds me of the ocean. Keep posting, we all love them...and your bloops. Thank you.
Maddie, my favorite thing to do outdoors is spending time with my dog Zenzi, a Yellow Lab! I look forward to your videos and appreciate your suggestions and beautiful scenery! If I was randomly selected, I would be content with whatever Bottle Bottle you choose! That bottom feature of storage is pretty cool BTW. Safe travels!
My favorite thing to do outdoors....gardening! I haven't been able to in a couple of years though due to time restrictions and a hurt knee. But I'm slowly getting back into it! Thanks so much for doing a giveaway....those bottles are such pretty colors! And I still think you have the nicest van overall. I would do the convertible bed arrangement too. It's so important not to feel all claustrophobic.
Outdoors .. I love to go on walks. It relaxes me. I also love just sitting on the beach reading a book or being in the mountains. I love your videos and you are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing and be safe. 💖
I have to say your van build is one of my favorites! I absolutely love the light wood, and white color combination as it gives it such a warm and cozy feel! Plus your table and cabinet are beautiful, and one of a kind!
One of my favorite things to do outdoors is to visit our National Parks! I love planning road trips where I can hit up as many parks as possible and get in lots of hikes! I love the 32 oz bottle in purple! :)
Hi Maddie, loved your Van build update video. The one thing I love doing outdoors, each and every day is breathing in the fresh air and including a thank you to God for allowing me the opportunity to be included in a new day. I’m not in need of a water bottle as I too live in my Ram Promaster and I am continuing to master downsizing. One suggestion I have for your bathroom area is the toilet paper holder that I found at Target in the Magnolia Home and Hearth area. The holder is iron the stem holds 3 rolls of toilet paper. I’ll try to send a pic. Maddie, continued best wishes with your Rv living and travels. Linda
Loving your videos. I love being with family and friends outdoors picnics or just taking the beauty in xx
Looks cosy and homely.
What beautiful water bottles! I would love either size. My favorite outdoor activity is walking the trails in the many forest preserves near my home. Walking through the prairies and forests grounds me and clears my head after a busy day. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I love seeing nature through your eyes and your art.
Thank you for all your videos. I love hiking up rivers and rock hopping back down. I love your passion for plants and your drawing is exquisite! May your adventures be filled with beauty.
You really light my day each time I see your face, Maddie.
Thanks God to create you!!!
God bless you all, sweet girl!!!
Your van is definitely one of the nicest I've seen. Spaciousness and versatility are key. My favorite thing to do outdoors is taking walks in the county and state parks in my area. The trails are so beautiful and I truly find my peace when surrounded by Nature. I also love to kayak, slow river and lake kayaking, no white rapids for me, lol. Nothing makes me feel more present than being on the water. As for the give away, I'd love the smallest size water bottle. Thanks, Maddie, for another great video!
Such a beautiful home with artistic touches! My favorite outdoor activity is roller skating on the streets with all my buddies. It makes me feel like I time traveled to the 80’s. If I had to pick a bottle, the lilac 40oz bottle is my favorite. It would allow for a longer adventure. Love your weekly videos ☺️💛
Thanks for the updated van tour! My favorite thing to do outdoors is walk in the woods with my pup. I think it is favorite too.
Anything outdoors is my favorite but especially laying on a blanket looking up at the sky through green leaves. I like all the bottle bottles.
I've been following you since you first built out your van, and it was lovely to see you summarize your changes, and what you enjoyed about your original ideas and also what you would improve next time. Like you, I treasure reading in all the spaces, but often curled up outside with my dog-buddy. Your bottle sponsor looks lovely too. I have enjoyed how selective you are about your sponsorships. Well done. The lilac bottle is lovely, but so are they all.
Thank u for sharing,Maddie...Stay safe & Happy travels✌✌✌
Hi Maddie I love your van and especially appreciate you sharing all your updates as I just bought a van last week and I’ll be reconverting to exactly how I want it to be, of course it’ll have to be, so thank you so much!
Hi Maddie, my favorite outdoor activity is hiking and kayaking. Stay hydrated!
My favorite thing to do outside is listen to the birds in the early morning while I drink my coffee. I love all the colors the bottle bottles come in. So if I’m randomly selected I would be happy with the color you choose. Love your van design most.
It’s all about Nature
I go into it with the intention of loosing myself, hiking, meditating, biking with my Yorkie 🐾💗🐾 or just finding that presence of being. Thanks Maddie for all your great videos 🥰
A big thing with many van lifers, they do not want to be controlled by others, boss, time etc. So will build their own vans - rather than work for someone else and pay for it that way. Then they are more free - to go where want - and not be tied so much to paying bills controlled by others.
You did a great job on your van! It is obviously working out really well, since you have only made small changes over the past 2 years and only have a few things you want to change now. Well done! hope you do very well in your travels!!
Thanks for the tips as I'm planning and researching into building out a van as a tall woman with dogs.
My favourite thing to do outdoors is spending time in forests with my dogs. It may even be boring for some but I'm very much a slow mover or just plop down onto the ground and just enjoy the sounds and photograph the small and wild things nature surrounds me with. I adore water, so if it's raining its an ultimate bonus!! I'd prefer the purple bottle as I love the colour and size but wouldn't mind the blue one as a close colour favourite :P
You are a rock star ⭐⭐⭐ Maddie Taylor. Way to go for dealing with the possibility of the problems that come with van life. I applaud your efforts 👏👏👏👏👏 Let's go!!!...JP
Just planning my first van build so this was super helpful! My favourite outdoor activity is skiing, but I also love mountain biking and hiking. The larger bottle would be my first choice but would be extremely happy with either!
you are doing well Maddie and You are inspiring.
This was a very thorough and detailed van tour! Got so many good ideas for my build. Thank you 😄
Love Camping and all that goes with that. Blue bottle works for me.
Thanks for the chance!
Hi Maddie u r really so much beautiful and so is ur van home. Keep posting more such videos ...
Another great video...keep up the incentive you give to vanners and others. Be safe!
Growing a small garden, listening to day and night birds, watching nature erupt with beauty all around and really, really see the sunrise and sunset.
Hi van queen nature spirit! I love melding with what’s around me outside. Feeling the wind and the sun, touching flowers, hearing the birds sing, the bees buzzing. Looking at the sparkles and on water. 😌🦭🐿️🦋🔶 and I think the purple bottle is pretty ✌🏻
I really felt the sense of innocence into you i really like you and the way you’re talking and describing things you’re amazing in everything
My favorite outside activity is kayaking! Great video, thank you. I like how your van is set up. It's simple, usable, and cute. Good job!
Love the location of the bookshelf. Nice job! Make every day better than the last one. ❤
Beautiful bottles! My favorite outdoor activity would be gardening 😊 Thanks for a great van tour, your van looks so cozy! ❤
Great build! And congratulations on the two years! 🎉🎉
I love the van! Don't worry about little cracks in the floor and ceiling. It's normal wear and tear, and every crack tells the story of another amazing adventure.
Love seeing this update of your van! My 12 year old daughter and I watch all your videos and follow you along. I’m trying to convince my hubby to do a van build but honestly, I’m close to doing it myself. I would love to travel the states and do some fishing wherever we can. That’s my favorite thing to do outside 😊. I would love the 32oz bottle 🥰
I love the tour and update, and the honesty that you use about everything. I love biking and existing near water, there's a lake my family always goes to in the summer that I adore. The grey one is probably my pick of the tree due to its neutral nature, but they're all gorgeous.
😘
Never in a million years could I live this way, but it is fascinating to hear about the ins and outs! Thanks for posting about your experience.
I have never used a car van before but this video has motivated me to explore life in a different way that I never imagined! Hopefully one day I'll be driving an adventure ☺️
Rish from Sydney! Wonderful video ❤
thanks for the info on the van. It's interesting how much you can learn over time.
I love your van! The floor plan is awesome. Sending love and light.
My favorite thing to do outside is just be still. Enjoy the fresh air and being in that moment. Love the blue bottle!
Great review & nice to get the perspective after long-term use. Thank you 😊
fab video as always maddie 😻 my favourite thing to do outdoors is literally be present within nature, work on building my van, photographing my surroundings + having picnics with my friends! the green bottle is my favourite please 🫶🏻
Awesome tour...another great video! I am editing my next one now! It takes so much time, so I understand what it takes to put out a weekly video! Great Job! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the next one!
I live in my van too… my favourite outdoor activity is practising my fire spinning! In the park or at the beach. I get so lost in the fire dance 🥰
All the water bottles look amazing, I’d be happy with whatever!
Lovely video this week
I love hiking , backpacking, gardening and just being outdoors! I would use the bottle bottle for all those activities!
You are responsible for my interest in van life. A couple of years ago one of your videos appeared in my recommendations (thank you UA-cam algorithm). It was one of your older videos, when you were still building out your van. I watched a few more and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m 6‘1“ and have always wondered what van life is like for tall people. P.S. whenever you drop anchor in my home state (Colorado) it always puts a smile on my face.
Awsome video as always!!🎉🎊 i love to be outside trying to work on the yard. Its nice to be able to fell the dirt in your hands. Good luck to all!! Be safe out there everyone!!😎
I love listening to your van tour and all of your videos! I love getting out in nature, especially along the coast of Washington and Oregon . I do this in my truck with a Leer hi-top cap with a platform bed. Looking at soon buying or converting a van.
I love walking my dogs 2x a day, listening to podcasts and visually taking in the spring bloom right now in Wisconsin. I love the purple bottle bottle ❤
Love your videos-from the early ones to the current ones! every time I watch you the videos get better and better.
One of the things that I like about the inside of your van are the colors. It's all different shades of earth tones. (Browns, tans, greens (plants), etc. When it comes to colors, especially in a living space, I like the different Earth tones Colors. When I first moved into my current home, my bedroom was all one color, a cream color, and it drove me nuts. By the time I finished decorating my room with the things I've collected over the years, I felt so much better and now that I look at it, it's all Earth tones. 😊
Thank you for showing everything includes ur regrets. I am planning on my own adventurous lifestyle soon 😊 and this is very helpful for my future build. I'm doing it alittle differant, will be pulling a small ( 15' or so) camping trailer that I will be customizing. I appreciate all the ppl that share their journeys, for this will be my first of this type of adventures. This will be my next chapter after a 20 yr marriage raising 3 children and doing the whole family experience. Now I find myself living a solo life and an early early retirement I plan on wandering around the US. I'm excited and learning ALOT from everyone's videos. So thanks again and Peace, Love and Blessing on ur travels 😊.
You have given a wonderful run down of the pros and cons of your van
Enjoyed the van tour, awesome build! I love to hike, bike, and kayak, and take my dog along. Love any of the colors of water bottles. 😊
Thanks for the van tour. I’d love to have the pink water bottle. My favorite outdoor activity is gardening.
I love you and your van so much 🫶🏽 miss you!
Great video.
Well thought out and corrected design.
Great evaluation, I appreciate the honest review.
Hey Maddie my favourite outdoor activity would be cycling, I love finding routes to take me to wonderful nature places, these bottles look amazing. Love your videos and your van tour ❤
my favourite thing to do outdoors in the summer is absolutely going on long walks with my family !! we take our dog and just talk about how life's been lately. the 32 oz bottle would b my first pick ! you're fabulous, maddie. keep doing what you're doing !!
❤
😍
My favorite activity to do outside is rock climbing and backpacking! I love the neutral looking bottlebottle :)
Your van showed me that I need more drawers in mine to stay organized. When I’m outdoors I like to hike, read and do some quilting.
Thanks for the tour! My favorite thing to do outdoors is to take my two dogs for long walks along the nearby rail-trail. It seems to be there favorite thing also.
That's a nice job. You've given your van a very home;y feel.
Great video Maddie and thanks for the awesome tips . 👍👍
Hey Maddie I love kayaking anytime I can the smaller water bottle is my favorite one
My favorite thing to do outside is walk trails. I love taking my dog and finding a nature trail. ❤
Such a beautiful tiny home on wheels. Smart girl.
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for showing us all around your van - your video was great, as they all are! I spend as much time outside as I can, either fishing on some of the great lakes and ponds in Maine, or working in my garden. And I always try to have a water bottle close by, so a blue 32oz would be perfect. If you ever travel to the east coast and need a place to stay, we have a lovely spot along the river just waiting for you!
Hi Maddie! Nice to see you update us with your van tour after 2 years. I love hiking and just observing nature. It so relaxing and good for the health. The purple bottle is so cute and handy to have. Thanks for doing this giveaway and good luck to everyone participating! 😊
Thank you for sharing, Maddie.
I love just walking outdoors anywhere, the best I can do for now is local parks and the outdoor areas around my house. all the water bottle bottles are really nice but I love pink. Happy trails my friend I love your channel.
My absolute favorite thing is to go slacklining and picnic in a park. Purple and green are my favorite colors. I love spotting them in the outdoors
Always find it fascinating how little belongings we really need to live everyday life. I'm in a in-law unit one big room (which servers as my bedroom living room & dining room) small bathroom & kitchen. Small spaces really keep u in check with not accumulating "stuff".
I love swimming 🏊♀️ outdoors like in lakes & rivers mostly. Water is my thing.
I love the lavender 💜 bottle if I'm chosen.
Love ur videos Maddie & look forward to the next one.
Happy Travels!🚐
Love your set-up, Maddie!! 😊
Hi Taylor. It is good to hear from your story. May you have a safety travel. I love travel as you as well. See you on the next video
Great video Maddie as always. I live to get Outdoors for hiking and birding! Birds are absolutely incredible creatures. Some of these tiny puff balls travel from South America across the Gulf of Mexico all the way to Canada! So, this is where a bottle bottle water bottle would come in handy! Your van build is very impressive and I'm happy to know you and Nikki have a network of friends who share the same passion for van life. Cheers - Luther
