    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    Matt and Missy have a similar story to so many others. They did all of the things they were "supposed" to do. They went to college, got good jobs and bought a house, but they just didn't feel fulfilled. In January, they decided to make a change, so they rented out their home and bought this incredible Toyota Coaster. There are only 5 of them in the U.S and this one is a seriously vintage, thing of beauty. It's a right side driver with a really well known engine and incredibly low miles even though it was built in the 90's. They're currently traveling in it in its original state and plan on doing updates once they've decided on what they need and how they like to live on the road. They're another example of not needing things to be perfect to get on the road if that's what you really want.

    He was talking about the rarity of these in the states and I was thinking I saw one just like theirs at a dealership in Seattle, and it sounds like it's the one they bought. Definitely can't go wrong with the quality and build of a Toyota, and especially with those low miles it'll be running for their adventures for a long time.

    If my rusty Japanese is any good, I think the first sentence is "please insert your card" and then I think it says "the mileage is 83,620 kilometers" and I honestly can't tell what the last bit is. I haven't lived in Japan in 20 years so this might be wide of the mark.
