It's finally time to move into my Defender! In this video, I put the final touches on the interior build, start packing my ENTIRE LIFE into the truck, and set off on the first leg of my journey. WAIT UNTIL THE END for one of the most epic camping spots I've ever stayed at!

What did you think of the EPIC location at the end of the video?! I could stay there forever... Except there's no shade so it got SUPER HOT by 10am 😂☀️ Still haven't installed that fan!
Mam you are really shoooo cute
Looks beautiful but needs a few trees.
The location is superb
Hey Eva, hast du schonmal darüber nachgedacht, dass du eine von uns mit AD(H)S sein könntest? Was ich sehe passt soweit. Ich suche nach Personen, die ihr Leben auf die Reihe bekommen haben, ohne Diagnose. Das ist wichtig. Wir sind zu viele. Du wärst ein gutes Beispiel, dass es auch ohne Medikation und Therapie gut werden kann.
Ich würde mich über eine Antwort freuen. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
I love everything about your new home Miss Eva, specially inside and outside about you. Watching here in the Phils.
Quick tip I picked up randomly from a van full-timer in an IKEA: toss the pillow inserts and use the pillow covers to store bulky clothes like sweaters, jeans, and windbreakers that you might not wear often, and in the meantime, they still function perfectly as pillows!
You’re a professional logistician Eva. Your Plan of Action and Milestones included conducting a detailed test of the new Defender aka a shakeup, that is why since the Defender conversion, your adventures as of Dec 17th, 2022, have been successes. Learning by doing will ensure one lives a life of action and not just dreaming. Motivating! Keep having big fun! Semper Fidelis, Raphael
Currently I'm building my own "mini" campervan, well not technically building the interior, I'm just planning to use tailgate tent and take off some built in chairs inside to make room for the stuffs. And your videos motivated me when the plan about to fall because of my comfort zone. Well, I have a little daughter (10 mo) and leaving my family just for a short trip like one or two days will be a bit diffcult. But yeah, when I felt like to cancel the plan, I went to UA-cam, searched your channel, then watch your videos, and refreshed! Thanks a lot! If you somehow reached Indonesia, there are a lot of beautiful places here to camp.
You are my new queen, not an hedonist, neither a superstar, just the queen of life . Your honesty is precious and I wish I was 30 years younger to not fall into the cliches of life who took over , looking forward for your next adventures
"And while planning and dreaming is nice,...but planning and dreaming is not living... And living is what I really want to do" 😍

I like the way she records from more than one angle...adds a depth to what she is doing!
How absolutely fantastic! We’re an Aussie family of 5 living in India (for the past 6 years)…..we’re currently in the planning process of an epic 6 month adventure from here to Europe end of 2022. Can’t wait!
I kept seeing Eva's videos pop up in my feed. Finally decided to watch a couple of them. I'm impressed... they're really well done. Not surprised she has nearly 1.5 million subs.
Babywipes are great for keeping the dash clean. Keep them in the glove box and do a regular clean when you are stuck in traffic.
We are absolutely stoked to follow your journey! Also your philosophy for what living looks like is super similar to what we believe. So we are here for all of it!!!
Have to admire your independence. I've been tied to a job for almost 30 years. Never had the courage to try something I really loved. Of course stability has it's perks as well so I guess everything has a trade off. Best of luck.
So enjoying this Eva, I’ve owned a Discovery (Land Rover) but have a Jeep (that I love) at the moment. I’ve always wanted a Defender so I’m getting to live out that dream vicariously through your videos Eva. This adventure is going to be fun to watch, but honestly it’s your sheer joy in everything you do that keeps me watching, it’s a real tonic for these troubled times, thanks…keep on trucking.
Some people are designers &crafts people, some people are about fashion and clothing ; but Eva you’re about traveling and blogging about it. Brave, beautiful, courageous, resourceful , adventurous & infectious& inspiring; you are a role model for many girls and women . You show that a girl can have the most amazing travels & adventures even solo . You are a trailblazer. All the Best , Luck favors the Brave!
I wouldn't use so many boxes inside the storage compartments, just chuck items straight in, or use soft bags. Same goes for running shoes, just use a (plastic) bag. Great build, ace videos, thanks Eva
Wow. What a great build/story/filming/edit; and you just you/mentality/personality/all that….I could list on forever, amazing. I’ll follow along your adventure, you have a virtual support crew. Safe travels and limitless horizons
So cool that your uncle is a professional carpenter and builder and he was able to get this done so quickly - and get you back on the road...safe travels and keep having fun!! 🌞🌈
Yess very lucky! 🚜
@@evazubeck I would say fortunate
I traveled around the US in a similar setup for many months years ago, one of the best adventures ever! But now, I will be moving into your grandparent's place with them. It's so completely adorable and besides, living with someone's grandparents, "The World Belongs to the Brave".
It is dangerous traveling alone. To get comfortable in a home is something that many people wish in life. It is great that you like adventure and you are very good at showing It to us.
You sure know how to tell an interesting story of transition from comfy home life to a new chapter in your life.
Seeing your blue _Camping Gaz_ stove reminded me of my 6 weeks adventure driving a Morris Mini Van around Europe during the cold winter of December/January 1970-71, as I had a similar (possibly slightly smaller) one. It was enough for my great adventure from home in Perth, West Australia 🇦🇺
You are literally living my dream Eva ❤️
Hope you live it too ;)
just to inform you there is no such thing as the "end of the build stage" this is you laying the foundation.. after that you will continue tweaking and upgrading as you gain experience. planning and implementing are two different things this is what my experience taught me. best of luck and thank you for taking us with u on this journey😊😊 🙏🙏🙏🙏
It is also part of the fun on such a projventure, hehehe
@@FlipflopsBoots I completely agree, to run into a problem and then concocting a solution! Such a good feeling
Absolutely I'm always fettling mine
Im somewhat a mixture of envious, intrigued and curious of your journey but also in awe of the kind of spirt it takes to do what you are doing. All the best and keep up the grrat videos!
You may have already done it, but add a dowel to the bottom of the curtains to add a bit of wait so they unroll nice and easy. It will also make rolling them up easier.
That didn't add anywhere near the weight that that is designed to carry, in fact, it still seems to sit as if it were basically empty...
Hello, As an old man in his 70's, I look forward to your adventures! I wonder if today one of your greatest gifts is all of your experiences in the last 3 years to draw on when needed? As always I am grateful for your attention and your time in producing these wonderful videos!
Odyssey - Great name for the Defender! Loved your naming “ceremony”! I wish there could have been a crowd of thousands to see you off but then I realized there is! It’s all of us. Blessing for more awesome adventures. Thanks for taking us along!
Travelled for 18yrs, back packing, boats, and vehicles. Ended up travelling light, a laptop bag with a days clothing my cowboy boots, bought clothes as and when. Be brave and enjoy the adventure
3:25 - 4:10 - a life lesson for everybody right there cut down to under one minute. Love it Eva... I'm in school studying multimedia design to become a UI/UX web designer and in one year I'll be chasing down my dream of becoming a digital nomad. You're quite the inspiration!
Eva, that was inspiring to watch :) Small idea from a trucklifer: replace the bulky baskets and boxes for clothing with fabric bags. Throw clothing into bags, place bags into your open-top wooden compartments. Yields 20% storage space and the time freed from folding clothes 😋
I was gonna comment about the same thing. Nothing should be getting inside of the hard packages, they are actually gonna forbidden too much extra space. For the Kitchen, if you store your spices in one full of pocket plastic bag would be easier to control. Do not use jars to store something unless needs to be stored in months. (jars to protect from bugs not for the storage ıf you have limited space)
It's a blessing you've got grandparents to stay with. I miss mine greatly. Have a great adventure on the road!
"Planning and dreaming is not living"
Girl thanx for motivating me. Loved your video. 💗
I love how you put it all out there that you are not a very organized person. Because when you first start watching your vlogging you think here is a person who has here s$&t together. Then it gets real. It becomes more personal when you share your struggles and your emotions. I’m pretty sure you have a doppelgänger here in Montana, USA. She recently bought a Overlander and had it shipped from Australia. She also redesigned it. Continue to follow your dreams.
"The World Belongs to the Brave" - This quote keeps me motivated always! The Defender looks awesome. And the last drone shot❤️
Love that!
The world belongs to everybody and nobody. We are given a favour to be alive in this great generous universe.
"Only a person who risks is truly free"... cant wait to see the upcoming adventures!
She set out into the wilderness, only to begin becoming civilized once again, creating a "home", relying on tech, etc. How ironic.
Who else is waiting impatiently each week to see these exciting videos?! I’m genuinely so happy for you Eva. I legit smile from ear to ear as you keep sharing your adventures. You’re an inspiration for me and others to truly live each day and take action towards our dreams ✨
100% agree with @AndreaGaitan I feel so happy and proud of her despite the fact that i don't know her personally. Such a real inspiration! Love from Kenya!
I understand/agree completely. I have 3 pairs of bib overalls, and 7days worth of things to wear under and/or over them. I look the exact same every day, but it takes the thought out what the day needs all together.
"It's all about perspective!", that's a blessed message!!! Beautiful video Eva, see you in the next one!!! Can't wait to see it!!!
Thanks so much! 😊🚜
It feels so good to see Eva loading her odyssey with her stuffs which fits perfectly. Also I have great respect for you for not paying attention to clothes and all. There are many youtubers, influence who struggle everyday about what to wear and be presentable and looking good. You are beyond everything. I love that. Your ultimate luxury is your odyssey. Love from India.
I can imagine how grateful and happy you were during this time, especially this exact moment I had to stop the video to comment this, when you toasted with the Defender - you would probably wanted to cry this moment - I would, for sure!
This was very satisfying…. There is a longing for a freedom I get when watching. Thanks for sharing and be safe!
Eva, I found your blogs last year when I was researching Oman and now I live in Oman!!!! But it’s summer here in the desert, 40 to 50c each day and seeing those foggy forests was a balm to my SOUL. This Defender build is incredible!
Hey i live in Oman too
"Planning and dreaming is not living" - felt this
🙏
Cooking tip ..... Use a bicycle disc brake rotor on the top of your camping stove. Gives you a more stable cooking area for your pots or pans to sit while cooking. The discs are stainless steel and don't take up much room.
The joy on your face is so pure, love the energy so so much, thank you Eva for sharing, you have awaken my willd and free inner child
Very cool, the Defender is getting more and more customized to your needs. Looks great! Living life and feeling alive!
You need to get those small solar motion sensing led light to place around your truck, so if someone or any animal approches your car in the night, the lights of that side of truck turn on, blasting light in their eyes, and possibly scaring them away, as well as give you a better visual of your surrounding.
Best of all these lights are a complete unit which you can stick to the car a small solar cell is attached at top or each light, so you dont need to worry about charging or wirings.
You are both fully aware of all nostalgic, comfort feelings and yet still strive and push your self to adventure! Eva your and inspiration to many keep it up!
Croatia is one of my favourite countries. It’s just beautiful. So many hidden gems!
I'm here for this... *THIS WILL BE SO INTERESTING* 🔥
i love your cotent eva here from tanzania
You only comment EVERYWHERE to get attention for your pointless channel.
Omg you watch what I watch even her and Kelly stamps
Yes dear very interested
Hold up, I'm pretty sure i spotted u from jay palfreys video?
the love and support of your family is amazing. I can just imagine their worry and concern, excitment and thrill at your choice.
If you ever have kids one day....wow....the stories you will be able to tell them. What a gift...them watching your videos....They will be SO proud of having such a strong, fearless, beautiful and brave mama! They will tell their kids and grandkids about you with such pride and love. If you have a son he will adore this video!
Ewa podziwiam Cie za to co robisz, tylko pozazdroscic miejsc ktore widzialas i zobaczysz. Pozdrowienia z Chciago.
When we watch this, Eva is already living in her Defender.... "the world belongs to the brave" and on this note to Eva, YOU ARE ALREADY LIVING... keep on living...
So satisfying watching everything fit 🤤
The cooker didn't fit fool
Wow. This is incredible, you, the way you converted the odyssey and the editing 🙏👌 looking forward to living through you for the rest of the journey. The world belongs to the brave 🤟
I got chills in my whole body when I saw the stickers being put on. No measuring at all, I would never be able to do that. But after all with my way of building you would miss 4 months of your adventure! So I think you still win even tho your stickers are crooked 😅
"I'm giving myself an hour and a half"
...yeah no, that's impossible.
"It took 5 hours"
That's more like it! 😂 Good luck on your new adventure!
Hey Eva despite you have said you don't have a fashion style, I simply love your style girl. It really fits on you. It looks like you ironing your shirts. Do you do that?
hai eva.. this is 3.30 in the morning from indonesia, this is my first time watching your videos, i'm so fascinating and cant wait to watch your another videos.. hope you doing well with your advantures, and i think from now on i'll be your loyal viewers.. hahaha
if you have the chance to travel to indonesia, especially in the region of north sulawesi i'll be more than happy to show you around.. ✌️
Eva I am so in love with your Defender Series.... Forever in awe of your fearless attitude ❤
The fact that you're showing us that you werent completely comfortable is refreshing from other travellers
I love you Eva. You make me feel alive. ❤
Hatts off to you because feeling alive, doing things that make you happy, being you is the hard part, however brave people risk, they risk and fight with the world for no-one but to be truly themselves because that's the real meaning of being alive is, to be you.
Really love your truck transformation. New friend here from Guam 🇬🇺 I could probably see myself doing this, just get on the road and visit and discover new places after retirement.
Super! Dopiero po kilku minutach połapałem się, że jesteś Polką. Wielki szacun z to co robisz i jak to robisz. Oczywiście leci Sub i biorę się za nadrabianie zaległości na tym kanale.
Have fun and good luck!
Happy trails Eva!!! You are a true adventurer!! You are living your best life. Stay safe!!!! ❤️
You’ve made me love my Landrover even more Eva. They are such incredible machines with a soul !
you're such a brave and strong woman. enjoy the life you did for sure.
Great episode Eva. Make sure you keep all those doors locked properly at night. Enjoy and stay safe. Can't wait to see more episodes.
Honestly I love how you arent waiting for the defender to be perfect to start living your life again.Its literally like is it livable yes,then off I go! Love your spirit
Your production value is amazing and how you've scripted the episode is on point! Great work have fun!
I am having goose bumps watching you leave home so happy for your future adventure s
I am so happy for you and Odyssey. I have a Jeep Wrangler JK that I named the Sno-Goat I have equipped with all the camping gear, portable stove, camping mess kit, camp toilet, hammock tent, sleeping pad and everything else I needed to do off-road, cross-country camping trips. Sadly, after replacing the engine, I am currently experiencing major electronic issues in the engine computer and sensor modules so the Sno-Goat is out of commission temporarily, but I am working toward getting it back on the trails. I wish you luck and safety in your journies.
This is so inspiring 😁
One day I will get a LandCruiser and do the same 😄
Best thing is you being inexperienced, but still doing it...
Tnx for being brave!
landcruiser is the way to go, goodluck!!!!
Get a Land Rover Defender, not one of those shoddy Land Cruisers 😜🚜
Have to admit I fancy both. Although landcruisers have proven to be a tad more reliable, and when I say a tad I mean, a lot.
@@evazubeck I've decided Land Rover is the way to go for you - After all, you are making these videos to help support your adventures and there wouldn't be much of story to tell if nothing ever went wrong, correct?
You don't have to spend $50,000 on a car to have a vehicle fit for adventure. Land Rovers don't come cheap 🤗
Wow, great this video. From comfort zone to 100% adventure. Something with small step and giant leap :-)
So nice of you to undertake this adventure and super cool for us as followers to follow you with everything you're going to do!
And that Odyssey may take you to the most beautiful places and areas. Suc6 and greetings from Holland!
A new adventure begins , so exited for her
What you’ve done is so amazing.
Thank you so much for your sharing.
cried when you started to cheers with Odyssey
I adore her courage and determination to do the things she likes to do! ❤️
....and cash flow.
@@JRspeaking if I can get paid for traveling and doing videos ufffff that is like my ideal lifestyle she is so blessed 😄
Love the musical selection at the end of the video, glad you are back traveling even if it is nice to be home for a little while
Wow, my wife and I did that exact trip one year ago. We started in Belgium for the Andre Rieu concert. Then to Germany to Wroclaw poland via train. Rented a car in Wroclaw and drove to Prague, then Bratislava, then Budapest Hungary down to Croatia, then on to Venice, then Pisa, then Porto Stefano, then Civita, then to Brindisi, then back up to Menton France, then to Bourdeaux then back to England via ferry. Then to Southhampton and back to Canada.
This video made me really emotional as it's relates so much to my life, thank you for your time putting the effort into these videos. So relatable.
I'm so excited joining her journeys from my computer room. I can't wait for the next one.
How funny that you just spent the night thinking that you're in the middle of no where! But you actually right at someone's else backyard! @16:23
Your adventure is so inspirating👍🏻👍🏻keep up the good trip and stay safe💪💪
Your entusiasm for this is amazing. Been seeing your videos for a min, and im exited for this next adveture :D
Thank you 🚜😜
Eva is intelligent, brave, loving and caring UA-cam vloger ...This Lady wins millions of people heart's ... May Allah bless you ...
Not allah...........God and Jesus.

@@shahidkhansulaimankhel8174 good reply brother ❤
14:31 this shot was so amazing! couldn't have been a better timing with the lightning!
i felt the odyssey part saying goodbye to the old & begin with the new ones!
“While planning and dreaming is nice; it’s not living”
LOVE that.
I feel like planning and dreaming are integral parts of living. All part of the glorious whole experience.
What you said about the comfort zone really struck a cord in me - its definitely inspiring
I like the part even with the purging of your stuff and becoming a minimalist you don't need all that stuff it's the essentials Great video very brave
I just bumped into your youtube channel, I'm from the Philipines. I admired you being a handywoman how you transformed your 4x4 into a mini home. Enjoy your expedition, adventure, and nature. Stay safe and healthy. Hope to be a friend. Always pray and take care. GOD Bless!
Your more than a content creator or youtuber, you are an inspiration to many Eva, keep going Girl because the world belongs to the brave ❤️🔥👍👍👍
Decision fatigue, that's why I appreciated uniforms in school and the army....
i like you way of meeting with innocent and simplest peoples of the world, love this
Your defender is looking real good! 💕 I’m actually new to your channel.
It’s nice to see Odessey and you venturing out in the country having the time of your life! 🙃Keep living the dream! 😁
How cool I can’t wait when you start travel to other continents
"And, while, planning and dreaming is nice; planning and dreaming is not living." - Eva Zu Beck
99% of her audience stays at the first stage, including me. That is why people watch her. Beautiful and sad at the same time.
@@LegendTheAnonymous if 99% of people didn't stay home, who would build the Landrovers etc for the 1% to adventure in.
@@barneybarret6088 You do realize that the great majority of land rovers are used in the city or the highway right? Only a very small fraction are used and prepared for actual off roading.
Thanks for living the Dream that not everybody can't afford. Have a great experience. I cant wait to se more of your videos
Eva, you are absolutely INSPIRING, thank you for sharing your adventure and all the preparation. In the name of all the messy people out here, thanks for showing it's possible to put your life into something as little (or big) as a car. Keep on and have a great adventure!! Longing to see more of it. 😉🙌
