  • Van Life Europe Begins!! When we did Van Life in the United States we couldn't believe how cheap you could travel. Now 2 years later we have finally shipped our camper van to Europe. We share all the costs and details so you can do this one day too. Traveling internationally has always been our favorite but we hated moving from place to place with our suitcases. So we decided to bring our home to Europe 😂 Follow us on our 1+ year European road trip

    I’m a US citizen and planning to stay in Europe for a year and because of the 90 days in 180, I was looking for another options and I found that Italy had something called Elective Residency Visa. All you need to do is to show bank statement for 32k euros per person and Airbnb reservation for one year and since you have the van, you can cancel the Airbnb after you submit your documents.

    U2 did it 🏅 made shipping a Van engaging viewing!! After grad school and a year wandering all over Europe.. speaking haphazard German.. I shipped my VW campervan from Germany to San Diego. In the late 80s it had hardly been done before. It arrived in 1 piece 😁

      @@ian.and.ana. oh yes it was.. thank you for your reply. In our travels through all of Europe we rarely found anybody else doing Vanlife. Just tents in campgrounds.
      It was so uncommon that in fact when we were traveling for example in Northern Greece .. in every little Hamlet.. the mayor insisted that we spend the night at their home and have dinner with them. Ha! It was the first time we had turkish-greek ☕ coffee. We drink all the grounds at the bottom of the cup...not knowing. We were wide-awake for 2 furkin days 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. .😁😅

    Hi Ian and Ana, we are thinking of doing the shipment the other way around (from Europe to the USA) so this is a very exciting video! I was wondering whether there were any delays in the shipment of your van? And whether things got stolen or damaged on the way?You mentioned things were the same but I was wondering whether you maybe found out later that some small things got stolen for example? We would love to hear from you because that may take some of our worries away haha! 🥰

    The only thing that puzzles me is why you chose a Ram van instead of, for instance, a Sprinter. I can imagine that service for a Ram might prove to be a bit difficult in Europe. Have a great time in my continent!

    • @ian.and.ana.
      @ian.and.ana.  Рік тому

      We picked the Ram because we bought it already built out from our friends. A sprinter would be more expensive

I am planning to do the same in middle of next year, but I have a question, how were you deal with the registration and insurance in your state? I called the DMV in my state (NJ) and my insurance what I plan to do, they all said I have to cancel the state registration, return the plate and insurance, but I know we need the US license plate to drive in Europe, correct? Can you share you experience? Thanks!
