Who are we? 💁🏼♀️
We're Tom and Iz, who live and travel in our van La Bamba. We love nature and are currently traveling in Norway!!
You might find Tom in the forest IDing a mushroom, fixing something or starting an ambitious project with his laid-back relaxed approach whereas you could find Isabel cooking up a storm, sunning herself on a beach and being a busy, energetic bee with her endless enthusiasm and positivity! We are total opposites but it works!
How did we end up here?! 😁 ⏮
We met 10 years ago when we were both finishing our A-levels and had a whirlwind summer romance, hitch-hiking around France together before before going our separate ways to travel and to university. We've both always prioritised travel and adventure and have worked hard over the years in hospitality jobs to enable us to keep exploring.
Tom hitch-hiked across Europe and road tripped around Australia whilst Iz studied Environmental Science at York. Iz backpacked around South America with her sister whilst Tom studied Forestry at Aberdeen University. Little did we know we just weren't going to get each other out of our minds! Fast forward 4 years later, we found ourselves in campsite warden jobs, living in a bell tent in a wild flower meadow together! Maybe without realising this was the start of our van life journey!
Next, we both trained to be science teachers and during training, we bought a van, ripped out it's interior and converted it to live in it. Iz managed to get a remote work-from-home job that she could do from the van and Tom was passionate about starting up a UA-cam channel.
Since then we haven't looked back and when the pandemic allowed us to, we travelled to Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and around Cornwall. We are now on a big European road trip! We are giving it our best shot to do UA-cam full time. We have a dream of one day owning a little plot of land and building ourselves a cabin in the woods. If you're new around here you can check out our previous videos; we've been uploading weekly videos for the last 9 months and are currently releasing DAILY VIDEOS.
Our message on our channel is to inspire others to do what they love as life is too short! We love living simply, freely with less stuff but more time!

Breathtaking views everywhere! Thanks for taking us along 😊 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
Norway hunt the Minke Whale, population is estimated to be over 761,000 in the Antarctic, 149,000 in North Atlantic waters, and about 25,000 in the Northwest Pacific ocean.
Norway hunt about 500-1000 Minke Whale per year.
One of your best vlogs yet!! These are epic!
Your a lucky man and a lucky lady , watching u was like John and Mandy. You guys perfect together, have an amazing life together love u both xx
Just would like to say I'm not a traveller and don't ever watch travel vlogs usually and I haven't stepped foot outside the UK since I was very very young. But it is inspiring watching you both and I'm enjoying watching your vlogs after I've been working all day! All the best guys 🚐
May 4 2023: The views are so amazing. The water is amazing and think this is a part I look forward to the sheer enjoyment of taking a plunge. Enjoy the incredible journey, because we are through your eyes.
There's at least one company doing 'ocean rafting' with large RIBs in the Saltstraumen during high and low tide. Some might enjoy the experience...
Bodø has a rather nice aircraft museum next to the airport(which is nearly in the middle of the city) They've got a Junkers 52 with floats, a Catalina flying boat, and even a U2 hanging from the ceiling...
The Catalina is because the 330 squadron flew these from Iceland for a while during WWII before moving to Oban in Scotland and getting Short Sunderlands.
The U2 is of course because the U2 used Norwegian bases during their round trips. Gary Powers was actually scheduled to land in Bodø on the trip he was shot down.
General notice for anyone reading my ramblings...
There are still many aircraft wrecks left up in the mountains and other inaccessible places.
DO NOT attempt to 'get a little souvenir'. The wrecks are considered state property and historical. It really isn't worth ending up in the slammer for. And we don't do that silly 'bail thing' that the US does. 'Who's going to notice'? Dozens upon dozens of hikers, most of whom knows where the wrecks are and just happens to see someone getting too close for comfort. Like they say in the Blues Brothers movie, 'you can't outrun a Motorola'... or a Samsung... or Sony or iPhone.
I came across your channel some days ago and i'm glad you're enjoying Norway. Funny thing, this video ends in Bodø, which is my birth town. And your Norway adventure started in Kristiansand coming off the ferry from Denmark. Kristiansand is where i currently live. 😊 I'd wish for your sake you'd had more time in Bodø, for many people it's just a gateway to Lofoten, but there are many things to see, in and outside Bodø as well. Saltstraumen is just one of them. Enjoy Lofoten, it's amazing. Due to work i visited Lofoten every month for 5 years and it's breathtaking whether it's the midnight sun in the summer or the winter storms in January. Have a safe trip.
I know im behind on these vlogs, but I've lived in Bodø virtually my whole life, and your trip up through kystriksvegen really made me fall in love with my home again! Thanks for letting us join be a part of the journey🤩
Magnificent scenery, beautifully filmed. I can almost feel how fresh the air is! Great vlog guys. Iz you're definitely breaking bad with those moves! Can't wait to see your moon dance!! ;)
As a Norwegian, I have to say that your attempts of Norwegian is hillarious to listen to! 😅😍
when you get to lofoten there is a beach close to a tunnel before you get to svolvær.. by the crossroad you can drive off to henningsvær.. oh.. and you should really drive to henningsvær.. its a really scenic place
NGL I am a little inebriated! However, Tom my MAN! You are punching like a KING! What a life to live!
Ye are the happiest I've seen ye yet. It must be absolutely brilliant there! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the uploads.
So glad that I subscribed to your channel because the video is very calming and relaxing and I need to share this with people I know here so that way more people are aware of you
I love these Norway vlogs 😍 so beautiful!

Hahaha, hilarious toilet scene. Great video you two!
I'll depart towards the same region you're at coming Thursday with the end destination Nordkapp.
Lovely to see how beautiful it is over there, cannot wait to see it in person.
Drive safe, enjoy the journey! 😊
I skipped Trondheim to Bodø on my cycle trip, maybe will make time in the future. If you can, don't miss out on Senja.
I am learning so much. And I am Norwegian. :P
Yet more evidence of the stunning beauty of Norway. Thanks again for doing this guys.
Had a day off work ill today and have watched at least 3 hours of your videos… I’ve a transporter myself and love van camping. Really looking forward to getting back out there. Great videos… well done 👍

What a super dip you two, would love to get a dip in there.
What a road trip indeed,ye got in fantastic locations. Thank you for sharing,even the award winning toilet ha ha ha.
You are truly, as mad as a box of frogs! 😁

Your vlog is getting better and better. Look forward to watching it each day and I think your giving a lot of people a lot of pleasure as well as having a lot of pleasure yourselves. You are lovely! Keep it going guys and safe travelling!😉 Barry in Birr
Fun fact, the REMA 1000 you shopped in the company I work for deliver the fruit and veggies to.

Definitely a thumbs up 👍
Hi, you so chose the best route, it is incredibly beautiful, thanks for the daily vlog, appreciate it very much. Happy days xx
Love watching you’re daily vlogs ,you’re such a refreshingly lovely couple good luck to you both keep enjoying your adventures x
Awesome vlog thank you so much for sharing! 👍🙋
6:25 Hello, annoying translation bot here! Uredd more accurately translates to unafraid. Redd = afraid, uredd= ...yeah. Fearless would be fryktløs, a somewhat more intense emotion though they both are similar.
Farthest north I've ever been was Bardufoss in my army days. We were playing markers for the armored batallion stationed there. That was in February, so... not quite as warm and scenic as your current trip for sure xD
I definitely would be in for a swim there too 👍🏻 Thank you again for taking us with you on your adventures.
Now guys you have to start adding the links to Isa's swimsuits... I love them all
Everytime I hear anyone say Fjords I always have Michael Palin/John Cleese voice in my head saying 'Pining for the Fjords!' from Monty Python's Dead parrot sketch lol
I have liked your last 28 videos instead of posting something every day i am just going to post now and again as i likely say the same s#@t our there abouts.😂. It looks so beautiful. Its like something from.. Lord of the rings.. Was any of them movies filmed there.? Take care and be safe much love from Northern Ireland God bless ❤️ 💙 👍
Enjoyable viewing again. Off for a couple of days in our camper so will catch up when I get back. Looks lovely but cold at times there, but every view is a million dollars. P.S. Amazing toilets!!
Just watched the last 3 episodes back to back... Superb folks!! The place is stunning, and you capture it so well!!! Nothing beats the Irish tea bags Iz... Eeeyyooo 🇮🇪.. Can't believe the public toilets over there, put the rest of us to shame 😂 keep forgetting to mention too, the music recently in all the vlogs is really really good, enjoying that too.. Enjoying bloody everything 👏👏 chat later 👌👍
Was the water salty ? is that a stupid question?
Great video again and great scenery. Enjoy.
😲😲😲😲wow absolutely STUNNING 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Awesome trip you're on! I am going to Norway this summer as well and also in an autocamper, so I am ALL EARS AND EYES :-) Can I see the specific route you are travelling until now? It would be nice to use that as an inspiration for my own way to Lofoten etc :-) Have a nice trip!
Enjoy Lofoten, I’m sure you will. I went climbing there in 1998.
Amazing trip, i hope next year i can go to norway and sweeden, that is in my bucket list for travel
It is midnight sun in Bodø from 7th of may until 13th of july. Bodø is quite far south, that's why it is not up for a long period.
Hi guys , looks amazing and I'm loving the music really cool .
Nice to follow your trip, greetings from Denmark
Great to see the place i live presented like this!
Love viewing your adventures through Norway! Yes, whale meat is referred as "poor man's hamburger meat"! I lived in Norway, as an exchanged student.
I had my share of the different "exotic foods", including their brown cheese. To this day, I can purchase Ski Queen brand brown cheese. It's an acquired taste, that I still love to have for breakfast!

Velkommen til Norge. Ha en fortsatt fin tur og ferie! På vei sørover bør dere besøke Norges vakreste by; Ålesund.
Wow what a beautiful place guys 🇳🇴 scenery is amazing. I would love a swim 🏊♂️ here 🙏
It's a bit fun to see an toursits view of it's own country. Hope you enjoy Norway.
I will actually go to Goodwood festival of speed late in June, so then I will be visting your country.
However just by air travel and just for a week :-)
I seriously didn’t realise what a stunning place Norway is. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
love the different facts :>
so funny hearing you pronounce Bodø and Lofoten, Bodo and Looften :D
I can only apologise, hahaha
You are doing good. The funniest is "kystriksveien." Thats a tounge-twister for any non-native.
So beautiful, amazing, lovely wonderful. Much Blessings to you. ✝Thanks for sharing, Lord-Jesus-Christ com
Gratitude
Would love to see a picture of the midnight sun ☀️
You will
Wow! What a road trip!
Amazing. Do you know the lake water temp you swam in?
No idea, but it was chilly, haha
Another great video thanks 😊
Location super..
Just wondering if the ferry systems are part of the road system or if there is a fee for each time used
Both
Thanks guys.
By now you can probably take a dook in an ocean in winter and not feel too cold :D
You need to hook up with LTVL...great show!
We have never seen LTVL will have to give it a watch
Trying to figure out where that glacier is. Could you share a location or name?
Don't know what happened to my previous comment with a Google Maps link, but just search for "Svartisen" in GM and you'll find it. If you'd like to approach from the same direction as in the video, just follow the road "rv17" :)
so many of these vlogs depend on the ladies karisma! this one is the same!
You're brave! Was the water warmer than the sea off Ireland in mid winter?
Tom, I see the world's most expensive prescription sunglasses turned up!?
I’m actually just wearing Isabel’s sunglasses and contact lenses, haha. They are definitely comparable, both bloody freezing, haha
Colder than Ireland's water?
wild atlantic way or norway whats your favorite ? great vlog as always
Arctic glacier water still warmer than in Ireland.
Brilliant.👍😊
Hi Iz Tom what beautiful place the views is stunning,tell me the Norway 🇳🇴 flag looks so much like the Nazi flag ,bet that water was cold the snow caped mountains absolutely stunning,take care and keep safe ,John 🇳🇴🇳🇴🙏😂🌹👀💬💭👏👌👍😜😋😅🤝🤝
About Saltstraumen at 8:22: "...at high and low tide is the fastest current...." Nope.... not at all. At high an low tide are there no current since that's the time where the current change direction.
The fastest current are to be found at the half time between high and low tide.
You also hasn't understood the difference between area and volume. At 8:50: " ....400 million square meters..." Nope.... Try with cubic meters.....
So the question for you. In which compass direction does the sun set? Takes a lot of explaining
When North of "polar circel", there is not sun set in this time of year.
@@liva7362 Not quite mid summer, so it still sets, just.
So in which direction does it set?
@@liva7362 On the artic circle, the only day on which the sun doesn't set is mid summers day. That's the definition of artic circle.
Please learn some science.
Next you will saying the sun doesn't set in the north.
Tror jeg skriver på norsk. Midnattsol kommer og forsvinner på ulike datoer. I Tromsø kommer midnattsolen ca 18. Mai. Polarsirkelen flytter seg ca 14 meter pr år, mener jeg å huske. No er sirkelen på vei nordover. Men om du kan alt om soloppgang og solnedgang så skjønner jeg ikke hvorfor du spørr? Kun for å kunne korrigere folk? Da er det bedre du forteller hva du vet.. Og ja, solen går ikke ned i perioden man har midnattsol. Definisjon på midnattsol er jo at den ikke går under havoverflaten. Sånn omtrent. Men som sagt, ulike tidspunkt alt etter hvor man er nord for polarsirkelen. Og da har man ikke solnedgang, derfor det er midnattsol.
We are all watching you from Russia.... Russia has their eye on you
Smashing
So amazing
*I know these places from Assassin's Creed: Valhalla!*
Bella vita.
I would prefer the whalemeat over the ships...
I live there!
Norway, home to majestic award-winning
toilets.
Sigh..
