VAN LIFE ON AN ISLAND. it was almost perfect...

  • We found the PERFECT ISLAND for van life, but there was one teeny, tiny problem... Join us this week as we battle a bunch of mosquitos, Dana gives Lou a haircut for the first time in years, and we explore the beautiful island of Elafonisos in southern Greece.
    Some days in the van are so beautiful I just want to bottle them up and keep them forever--and lucky for me, Lou edited together our snippets from this day into a nice "Day in the Life" story that shows what it's really like to live in a van--we swim in the ocean, we make repairs on our rusty old home, we have to get creative when our lpg gas bottle runs dry.
    Big hugs,
    Dana

    Dana and Lou, I stumbled upon your Tidying video on a road trip where I needed to keep my mind busy while my hubby was driving. I couldn’t stop watching and when we arrived home my husband started watching with me. My heart has been touched by the honest way you share. You both live your lives with such courage, the way you present your story is visually beautiful and the music is perfect. Even though we are both in our late 40s, we will be taking pieces of the things you’ve shared to bring more adventure and simplicity to our lives. You two are precious humans - the world needs you and more like you ❤️

You always carry some much happiness and positiveness and your life seems perfect (even with your mosquitos' battles and all the difficulties, they seems an inevitable part of the journey!). You sound so in love with each other and with your life, makes me hope to feel the same in a few years!

    On Christmas Eve, our journey in our little camper took us to Galveston beach. We got a spot right on the beach and watched the sunset. It was unbelievably beautiful. But we quickly realized that we were surrounded by thousands of mosquitos and were up all night taping every little hole we could find. This video brought me right back to that moment! Wish we had that mosquito netting 😂 this video was so gorgeous to watch as usual thanks guys!

Loved the underwater and drone shots too. I can see how labor intensive making your videos is and we do appreciate their artfulness. All of it simply first rate. Don't change a thing and keep 'em coming. All the best to you...loving regards from Florida's Gulf Coast ;D

      There's a homeopathic remedy for bug bites! Not only does it help the itch but it blocks the (hormone?) scent your body produces after having been bitten that rings the dinner bell for other mosquitoes!

    There are two other couples that I enjoy very much, on YT, (The Indie Project, & Phillip & Lidia ) I don't just think it's "VanLife", but more so the way you all show your love for life, Thank you again for sharing, Dana, you did a great job on his hair cut.

    Have you ever done 'no cook oats'? The night before add water/nut milk and long cook oats in your usual recipe, cover and refrigerate (because of nut milk) . In the morning the oats are fully rehydrated and ready to eat without every cooking. Of course they are cold, but I'm totally hooked on cold oats now. Just a thought to save on gas or when you run out. Plus it's nice to have a cold breakfast on a hot morning.
