I moved out of an apt that I spent hours cleaning for the next person. Years later, we housed in our home some friends. In talking to them about past places we lived, we discovered their family was who moved into our old apt. She said she so appreciated how clean it was when she moved in. Ya never know. 😊
@keyplayer5 wow that's a really good story, thanks for sharing! Totally agree that it's so important to be clean for the next tenants, as you never know who they are and what stage of life they are in. A clean home is so nice to move into!
It would be more comfortable if you can stand inside. Its crippling,/uncomfortable to think its brand new. not good to health. I would consider it what a waste of money with that situation.
@@bonifaciobonifacia8679 thanks a lot for your concern! We had size limitations because of how difficult it is to park in Korea with bigger vehicles, but everything is going well, and we spend most of our time outside the van.
Even though Korea has a great public transportation system, the freedom of traveling around in a car is unmatched. Excited for your guys' van journey and can't wait to see more of incredible and hidden spots Korea has to offer! Fall is around the corner and it's going to be so beautiful!
@@TimaMikheev this is very true. We were fine without a car the last year, but did so much less traveling than we did before. Thanks so much for your support and encouragement!
Thank you for your channel. We are a 2nd gen KoreAm husband with Korean wife and are coming to Korea and will borrow our niece's Korando camper and have been trying to find info on where and how to car camp in the fall in Korea. Our two adult kids will be with us for one week before to see Seoul and then return to America and then my wife n I will tour Korea in the camper last week of Nov/1st week Dec. Your channel helps us a lot for showing our kids Seoul and for orientation on camping. We look forward to more house-van videos and locations and information to camp outside the cities and where noone else goes. Though I am a bit nervous bc I do not speak Korean, my wife helps me a lot but still its good to see you and Yuj doing well in Korea as a team. Your vanlife will be good and we are sending good energy and prayers for your success and fulfillment!
@miteco1 thanks so much for the nice comment! That's so awesome that you guys are coming here to travel around with a camper, and don't worry too much about not speaking Korean. I'd recommend just learning how to greet, say thank you, and order a few things and that should be enough to handle most things. You can use PapaGo or Google Translate to ask more complex things when your wife isn't around too. Hope you guys have an amazing trip here, and enjoy Korea to the fullest! It's really a beautiful place!
This van for this size is the most unique RV layout ive ever seen. We need these vans in the United States. The higher roof makes this a cross between a mini van and a regular passengervan. Congratulations!!
@ExclusiveLM it's pretty cool eh! The Staria is almost the perfect size, as it's small enough to park anywhere, but also the roof is tall enough to give you enough space inside. Thank you so much for the support!
The van looks great. 600 amp hour battery is huge, but you'll need it for the Air Con. I think as you live in the van you will realise what items you don't really use and which ones are most important to keep. Having less is more practical. Enjoy the good times ahead to come and look forward to seeing you on the road!
@Expat_Jimmy thanks so much! It's a massive battery for sure. We definitely need it for the AC and all the film equipment to charge though. Definitely learning what things we don't need already! Still have a lot to learn! Also it would be great to run into you guys someday!
It was great meeting you guys at Gyeongbokgung Palace earlier today! I meant to tell you that your videos were a big inspiration behind this trip and were super helpful in planning so thank you:) Enjoy the van life!
Hey Liam thanks so much for stopping by and saying hello! Great that you made it to the peak of Hallasan in the heat (that's quite impressive actually!), and all the best with the rest of your trip in Korea! Thanks for all of your kind words too, and take care eh!
I wish you both lots of happiness and good fortune as you embark on this new chapter. I visited Korea (Seoul) for the first time in June and stayed in a hotel in Jongno Gu thanks to your video of where to stay as a first time visitor to Seoul. Absolutely spot on recommendation, loved the area and will be coming back next year. Safe travels, I can’t wait for the Van Life vlogs 😊
@8IGHT-X thank you so much! Really happy to hear that you enjoyed Jongno-gu as well. I think it's a bit calmer than staying right in Myeongdong (although both areas are good to be honest). Hope you had an amazing time in Seoul, and thanks a lot for watching!
Hello Matt and Yujin.. Huge Congratulations on your home-mobile ❤ So excited for you both! Thank you for sharing this new chapter of your life with us. I can't wait to see your new adventures . Live the life you've always wanted and know that your family, friends and loved ones are cheering you on and got your backs ❤ Kajja! 🎉🎉 Sending best wishes from Singapore! Take care on the road 😊
Congratz on the new van! Looking forward to your documenting the adventures that you'll be having ahead! I thought it was kinda funny that Yujin was wearing a 'Vans' shirt while showing off the van.
@@user-pg2kb5rd8c thank you so much for the support and encouragement! Haha we didn't even think of the link between the van and Vans shirt, but it worked out nicely! 🤣 Take care eh!
Hi Matt and Yujin. Your van is really cool. You guys can try it out for a year or two and always make a change as you see fit. As you visit little towns and villages across S. Korea you might just find a place you absolutely love. I look forward to being an “armchair “ traveler with your excellent videos! Thank you!
@chrisselner6808 hello! Thank you so much! Yeah I don't think it's going to be a permanent thing in our life unless we really enjoy it. We will definitely be on the lookout for places in the countryside that we might be able to call home someday, as housing prices are dropping dramatically with the decreasing population (and increasing like crazy in Seoul).
Nice van ! The spinning seat is great! For the future you should consider a roof top bed , it will give you more space inside an you can stand a walk inside .
@offcourseisofcourse-travel3264 thank you so much! We wanted to be as stealthy as possible so we can park in any parking lot in the country, as parking is pretty limited here in Korea. It would definitely be a lot more comfortable though!
@donnahollman4259 thanks so much Mom and Dad for all of your support on this very unusual journey through life that we are taking! ❤️ We couldn't have done it without you guys knowing that we always have someone to talk to and somewhere to go in difficult times. Really appreciate everything, and can't wait to see you guys again!
awesome, just found this channel while i am at work. Your journey remind me of our vanlife days back in 2017. I am starting to relive that since I am traveling for work and living in my SUV.
@projectkod oh wow, you are definitely a veteran compared to us doing it since 2017! All the best with traveling and working in your SUV and safe travels eh!
1st week fantastic. 2nd week not so much, 3rd it is more than enough, after you will not love it. That is the reality people do not want to admit. But I am very happy for you guys 🎉 and good luck !
@Mr_Busted thanks a lot! We are going to try our best to make the lifestyle work, and if not then at least we will have a camper van to travel in the future when needed!
Congratulations guys, the customization looks fantastic! I'm so impressed by the battery and the A/C's efficiency especially. Here's to a happy holiday and the start of your new life!
@jkang7265 thank you so much! We were really shocked by the ACs efficiency too. It's not as efficient during the hot days, but we will probably spend more time out of the van in cooler places hopefully. Hope you had a great Chuseok as well, and all the best!
It's pretty cool eh Alex! I wouldn't have even gotten close to this build if I tried it myself haha. They did a really good job for sure. I don't know if you are still here, but hope your family had a great time celebrating Chuseok, and all the best with everything! Really appreciate all of your support!
@@lostthenfound Happy Chuseok to you and Yujin as well! We came back end of August. It was a great (although oppressively hot) trip! Next time we’re coming in the fall. Hopefully I’ll see you again! Take care and have fun.
@ALEX-cs6vo happy you guys had a great time, and that's great you will make it for the fall weather next time! Let me know when you are coming back and it would be great to catch up!
Congratulations on your new home!!! The van looks awesome. Happy Chuseok to both of you!! Eat lots of delicious food, stay healthy and have fun! Looking forward to more of your adventures. 👏😍💜
@sunnystamaria4452 thank you so much for the kind words and support! Hope you had an amazing Chuseok too, and hope to share some interesting parts of Korea when we depart!
Congratulations to both of you on your new home! The build turned out really nicely and offers a lot of good functionality! Also, Hyundai has added a very nice new van to their automobile line -- very handsome looking vehicle! I hope you enjoy your new home on wheels and all the wonderful adventures and memories that you will create with it. 👍
@Tanstaafl1976 thank you very much! Definitely happy with how the build turned out, and the Staria's high ceilings made it almost perfect to convert into a camper van. All the best and take care eh!
@Mudskipper9876 thank you very much! We are really pleased with the build as well, and hopefully we can share some cool places on our journey! Hope all is well and take care!
@sltho so far so good! I think it's just attached to the roof, and they drilled a hole for the wires but I'm not 100% sure. It's been raining a lot without any leaks luckily though! Also we are really fortunate and lucky to be able to live this lifestyle for sure. Took us a few years to get to this point, but it was a gamble that paid off luckily. Really appreciate the kind words, and all the best!
Wow Gratz guys on your new home it looks awesome, let the good times roll! 🤘😁 Thank you so much for taking the time out of your crazy busy schedule to put this video together and share the start of your new journey with all of us 🙏 Matt you looked so happy waking up in your new home at 9:03 and Yujin calling you Ajeossi made me chuckle. Blessing and good fortune on your future adventures guys ❤
@see8331 thank you so much! 😁 Really appreciate the message about getting the video out in this busy time too. Super happy with the van conversion, and looking forward to starting our journey literally a few hours after this comment! Take care and thanks again!
I feel like your wife would be a great teacher. I grew up mostly in the US so my Korean is at like 70 to 80 percent. She speaks very clearly so I can understand. Congrats.
@@DanLee8884 she's really good at speaking clearly for sure! It helps me out a lot as my Korean has a lot of improving to do. She actually has a degree in teaching Korean too, so she's thinking about teaching it someday if there's the opportunity for it.
@lostthenfound I feel like there is a huge opportunity in the US for some kind of korean academy. Unfortunately, the only korean language school are based in churches. I am a pastor but would like something separated from church as most korean churches, if not all are conservative. A academy where they teach language and maybe cultural things like cooking, music, dance etc. We have a 2 year old and wish something like that existed.
@@DanLee8884 ah that's interesting! Seems like there is a lot of potential especially with Korean pop music and dramas blowing up a lot in recent years.
They did a great job on the interior, never seen such creative way to make the place comfortable and efficient. Can't wait to see where you will bring us next time. All the best!!
@lovesbeautiful1004 it's pretty awesome eh! Really satisfied with the build, and hopefully we can show some cool places in Korea and other countries too!
새로운 집이자 이동수단이 완성돤걸 축하드립니다. 영상에서 언급한 새로운 프로젝트 궁금하네요 한가위 명절 잘 보내세요😊 Lovely new home 👍 Lots of interesting things in the van 🚐🤩 Look forward the your new project ❤ Happy Chuseok👏👋
Hey! A few weeks ago, I was in Korea and used your seven-day guide to Seoul to plan my trip. Just wanted to say thanks because it was super helpful! I ended up adding a few different neighborhoods that were off the beaten path based on your tips. It was awesome since I got to visit places with no other Westerners around, and I had the chance to chat with locals and try out new and different things. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter of your life! I really hope to return to Korea someday and plan more trips using your insights. Sending positive vibes and a big hug from Brazil! 🇧🇷🥰
@@WillianWelter-lt1bt wow thanks so much for sharing this! So happy you had a great time here, and really glad to hear that you got to experience some places off the beaten path too! They are a lot less predictable, but I'm sure it was worth the experience as it's always fun interacting with people here. Glad you had a great trip, and all the best eh! Would love to visit Brazil someday!
@@lostthenfound If you ever visit Brazil, you should check out my city! Florianópolis has amazing beaches, friendly locals, and it’s not too crowded with foreign tourists.
@buttlebe thank you so much! Was definitely worth the wait! We had a lot of extra time and you can barely tell that our stuff is in the house now. She did an amazing time!
It is nice to see you progressing. First of all Congratulations and Happy Chuseok. Can't wait to follow you guys in your adventures tours around the Country!. 늘 건강하고 행복하세요~.
As someone with very bad digestive systems and have to use the bathroom frequently, can't imagine trying it myself but very excited to see how this will go from you guys' perspective! Cheers!
@vira2936 it'll be absolutely essential for us to park next to public bathrooms whenever possible for sure. Thanks a lot for the support, and take care eh!
@joemacdonald1980 thank you so much! That's a very good idea. We will try it with a laundry line first that can be removed, and then if it's inconvenient we will probably install something more permanent.
Great mobile home. It hot everything that I would want in a camper van. Best wishes for your van life. We are spending out last night in Taiwan before returning home. Regards
@howardlee7189 thanks so much Howard! Definitely happy with how it turned out, and we are finally departing today after spending some family time so we are really excited! Hope you guys had an amazing trip to Korea and Taiwan, and all the best with adjusting to life back home when you get back!
@heatherhollman3710 thanks so much Heather!! Haha it's pretty cool eh? Can't wait to show you guys the van, and it would be cool to do a camping trip together next time you guys are here! We have two tents, so I think we might be able to make it work with a few rentals! Miss you guys lots and hope all is well!
Congrats on the build!🎉 It looks beautiful! We also had a few funny weeks between moving out of our apartment & getting our van ready😅 So excited for you guys, hope it's a blast!💕🚐🌲
@AncloteLeviathan thank you so much! Haha it's definitely an adventure downsizing like that. Feels so good now that we got rid of all of our big things though. Hope all is well with your van adventures as well! 😁
@johnnykhuu5876 thank you so much for the encouragement and kind words! Will try our best to document our journey as honestly as possible along the way as I know there will be a lot of hiccups too! All the best eh!
best of luck to you both with your new lifestyle, you are both good, hard working people, so i have no doubt you will make it work. Always remember your roots, amd never forget that you have each other no matter how hard it gets. you make a good team.
@ONCEbittenTWICEshyshyshy thank you so much for all of your kind words and support! You always make us feel good with your messages, and we will definitely try our best to stay honest and true to ourselves along the way. We are very fortunate to try an opportunity like this, and hopefully we can share some interesting places as we travel. Hope you are doing happy and well! All the best with everything and thank you so much!

@bikechingu thanks so much Thoan! Hope you had an amazing Chuseok! Also you must have seen someone with a similar van because we have been parked for the last few days spending time with family. Hope all is well, stay safe, and enjoy the amazing weather coming up! (Hopefully, as it's been WAY too hot this year! Haha)

Hope you're healthy and happy, and have an amazing week!
Good on you for the new interior design. I watched the latest clip about going and test the brand new car and I just wonder how are you going to live there 24 hours . Now I got it, have a wonderful journeys, enjoy!!!🎉
@@SaisuneeRammanee thank you so much! Haha yeah we needed a lot of things inside the car before moving in. Really appreciate the kind words and take care!
Don't worry about the portapotty. The bottom part is self contained. Just make sure you use the right treatment. The chemicals are environmentally friendly, and they clean the suit case-like bottom compartment. They also leave a pleasant small. The top part is cleaned just like any other toilet. When you're ready to dump, you detach the bottom, and you can even dispose of the contents in a regular toilet. Also, be careful not to cover the holes above your heat pump. They are there for ventilation.
@LB20278 thank you so much for this info! Will definitely have to try it someday just to see how it works. Luckily there are a lot of good public bathrooms all over Korea, so we will probably prioritize those when it's possible.
@tdottravels thanks so much! Originally it was our plan to leave for Jeju straight on August 25th, but things took longer than expected so we will probably save Jeju for next Spring/early Summer.
@BasicStealthcamping thank you so much! Hope everything is going well with your bike adventure in Korea, and are you going to make some videos recapping it? Would love to check them out, as it's always interesting to see the perspectives of people who are newer to Korea and how it is cycle touring here for them.
@lostthenfound hey thanks! I will try putting something together although it will be a but different than what I had in mind at the start. might be a few weeks or so. Just a few more days in Seoul. I understand why you love Korea so much, it's a great place!
@BasicStealthcamping oh that's great to hear! Will stay tuned to your channel (no rush by the way! I know videos take a lot of time/effort). So happy you had a great time here, and have an amazing last few days in Seoul!
축하드립니다. 좋은 여행 많이 하시고 공유해 주시기 바랍니다. 덩달아 저도 여행 기분 좀 내게요... 그리고 밴이 정말 좋군요. 여행용 밴 별로라고 생각했는데 너무 내실있게 잘 만들었네요. 앞으로 한국 여행 뿐만이 아니라 블라디보스톡을 거쳐 러시아 몽골 중국 인도차이나 유럽 등 아시아 대륙 여행 완벽 여행기까지 기대하겠습니다
@procekim thank you so much! Yeah we contemplated getting the electric version instead, but it's just so convenient having the diesel fuel tank attached to the heater as well, and we're not sure how easy it would be to charge the van in the middle of the countryside. Really appreciate it, and take care!
Congrats and already looking forward to your new adventures! The car's layout is really fun- I'm glad I found this channel, your content is scratching the itch I hoped to see as someone who loves camping and cycling :Db So while waiting for your new videos I'll be knee deep going thru the older ones.
Matt and Yujin…great ride!!! A lot roomier than my 2008 Prius….couple of important items you must have - carbon monoxide/smoke detector….fire extinguisher…bear spray in case of emergency…and a spare jackery 1000 portable power station…usb fans - you can lower the power usage of a/c…best of luck to both of you…perhaps I can join you guys in Korea …I just gotta get my Prius shipped over to Korea from Cali…good luck and enjoy the ride!!!
@classickdramaclips thank you so much! We have the monoxide/smoke detector in there, and the portable power station and usb fans are a very good idea! That's awesome that you have a Prius kitted out as well! Hope all is well and take care eh!

That setup is great! Doesn’t look like an install after the fact - looks factory fresh!
Hope you guys have years of wicked adventures…
It's pretty cool eh Alex! I wouldn't have even gotten close to this build if I tried it myself haha. They did a really good job for sure. I don't know if you are still here, but hope your family had a great time celebrating Chuseok, and all the best with everything! Really appreciate all of your support!
@@lostthenfound Happy Chuseok to you and Yujin as well!
We came back end of August. It was a great (although oppressively hot) trip! Next time we’re coming in the fall. Hopefully I’ll see you again!
Take care and have fun.
@ALEX-cs6vo happy you guys had a great time, and that's great you will make it for the fall weather next time! Let me know when you are coming back and it would be great to catch up!
Congratulations on your new home!!! The van looks awesome. Happy Chuseok to both of you!! Eat lots of delicious food, stay healthy and have fun! Looking forward to more of your adventures. 👏😍💜
@sunnystamaria4452 thank you so much for the kind words and support! Hope you had an amazing Chuseok too, and hope to share some interesting parts of Korea when we depart!
Looks great
@dyu4634 thank you so much! We are happy with it too!
You guys are so cute and pure.
@@carterkimincorporated thanks a lot!
Awesome, congratz Matt and Yujin!
@RayMin-kt4iw thank you so much! Really appreciate it!
Congratulations to both of you on your new home! The build turned out really nicely and offers a lot of good functionality! Also, Hyundai has added a very nice new van to their automobile line -- very handsome looking vehicle! I hope you enjoy your new home on wheels and all the wonderful adventures and memories that you will create with it. 👍
@Tanstaafl1976 thank you very much! Definitely happy with how the build turned out, and the Staria's high ceilings made it almost perfect to convert into a camper van. All the best and take care eh!
Congratulations!! The retrofit on the van is amazing! I'm looking forward to your new adventures.
@Mudskipper9876 thank you very much! We are really pleased with the build as well, and hopefully we can share some cool places on our journey! Hope all is well and take care!
I hope they did a good job sealing the solar panel insert hole 😮
You guys are living a lot of people’s dreams 😅 stay safe! Thanks for the content
@sltho so far so good! I think it's just attached to the roof, and they drilled a hole for the wires but I'm not 100% sure. It's been raining a lot without any leaks luckily though! Also we are really fortunate and lucky to be able to live this lifestyle for sure. Took us a few years to get to this point, but it was a gamble that paid off luckily. Really appreciate the kind words, and all the best!
Wow Gratz guys on your new home it looks awesome, let the good times roll! 🤘😁 Thank you so much for taking the time out of your crazy busy schedule to put this video together and share the start of your new journey with all of us 🙏 Matt you looked so happy waking up in your new home at 9:03 and Yujin calling you Ajeossi made me chuckle. Blessing and good fortune on your future adventures guys ❤
@see8331 thank you so much! 😁 Really appreciate the message about getting the video out in this busy time too. Super happy with the van conversion, and looking forward to starting our journey literally a few hours after this comment! Take care and thanks again!
good luck guys
@user-jm9ep3zp5g Thank you so much!
I feel like your wife would be a great teacher. I grew up mostly in the US so my Korean is at like 70 to 80 percent. She speaks very clearly so I can understand. Congrats.
@@DanLee8884 she's really good at speaking clearly for sure! It helps me out a lot as my Korean has a lot of improving to do. She actually has a degree in teaching Korean too, so she's thinking about teaching it someday if there's the opportunity for it.
@lostthenfound I feel like there is a huge opportunity in the US for some kind of korean academy. Unfortunately, the only korean language school are based in churches. I am a pastor but would like something separated from church as most korean churches, if not all are conservative. A academy where they teach language and maybe cultural things like cooking, music, dance etc. We have a 2 year old and wish something like that existed.
@@DanLee8884 ah that's interesting! Seems like there is a lot of potential especially with Korean pop music and dramas blowing up a lot in recent years.
They did a great job on the interior, never seen such creative way to make the place comfortable and efficient. Can't wait to see where you will bring us next time. All the best!!
@lovesbeautiful1004 it's pretty awesome eh! Really satisfied with the build, and hopefully we can show some cool places in Korea and other countries too!
All the Best
@blittercopper thank you very much!
All the best in your new adventure in the van

Lovely new home 👍 Lots of interesting things in the van 🚐🤩
Look forward the your new project ❤
Happy Chuseok👏👋

Congrats! wow an A/C!!!! in such small space..... have fun on the build.
@@5inSUVtraveling haha it's pretty cool they put an AC in there eh! Thank you so much!
Hey! A few weeks ago, I was in Korea and used your seven-day guide to Seoul to plan my trip. Just wanted to say thanks because it was super helpful! I ended up adding a few different neighborhoods that were off the beaten path based on your tips. It was awesome since I got to visit places with no other Westerners around, and I had the chance to chat with locals and try out new and different things. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter of your life! I really hope to return to Korea someday and plan more trips using your insights. Sending positive vibes and a big hug from Brazil! 🇧🇷🥰
@@WillianWelter-lt1bt wow thanks so much for sharing this! So happy you had a great time here, and really glad to hear that you got to experience some places off the beaten path too! They are a lot less predictable, but I'm sure it was worth the experience as it's always fun interacting with people here. Glad you had a great trip, and all the best eh! Would love to visit Brazil someday!
@@lostthenfound If you ever visit Brazil, you should check out my city! Florianópolis has amazing beaches, friendly locals, and it’s not too crowded with foreign tourists.
Congratulations.
@@JCF-eh7rx thank you very much!
Wow I love it! I hope you two have a smooth transition to van life in Korea!
@DavidNunezPNW thank you so much! Really appreciate it!

Awesome! Finally! Congrats Matt and Yujin! And Yujin is so lovely, cleaning up the house well before leaving
@buttlebe thank you so much! Was definitely worth the wait! We had a lot of extra time and you can barely tell that our stuff is in the house now. She did an amazing time!
Congrats and best wishes❤❤

@Jineeee_o ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 진이 고마워! 그리고 앞으로 진짜튜리아로 가바야겠네~ (이름이 진짜 완벽해) 🤣
As someone with very bad digestive systems and have to use the bathroom frequently, can't imagine trying it myself but very excited to see how this will go from you guys' perspective! Cheers!
@vira2936 it'll be absolutely essential for us to park next to public bathrooms whenever possible for sure. Thanks a lot for the support, and take care eh!
Yeah I have ulcerative colitis so van life is impossible for me!
Congrats
You finally take a moving home ❤
It will be change to you more bigger house ❤
Wish your happiness ❤❤❤
@woodycho888 thank you so much! We have a lot of land to explore now with our home on wheels. Wishing you happiness and good health as well! 😊
This is awesome!
@deidravargas2664 thank you very much! Can't wait to get started!
we need to celebrate with more van crocs
@catnapMitsu that's what I'm talking about! I wonder if they make like Ford or Chevrolet Jibbitz. Those will be a necessity if they do!
Good luck. I hope to see some off the track places in Korea with your new van!
@gracechuiwaho9971 thank you so much! We will try our best to show as many interesting places as possible!
Congratulations guys. Excited to see where life takes you next.
@bbarling thank you so much for watching and for the encouragement! Take care eh!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I would install a rail on the inside roof to hang clothes
@joemacdonald1980 thank you so much! That's a very good idea. We will try it with a laundry line first that can be removed, and then if it's inconvenient we will probably install something more permanent.
have fun,nice van
@DIANACULCLASURE thank you so much! Really appreciate it!
Great mobile home. It hot everything that I would want in a camper van. Best wishes for your van life. We are spending out last night in Taiwan before returning home. Regards

@howardlee7189 thanks so much Howard! Definitely happy with how it turned out, and we are finally departing today after spending some family time so we are really excited! Hope you guys had an amazing trip to Korea and Taiwan, and all the best with adjusting to life back home when you get back!
That is a really nice cargo van build. They did such an excellent job on it. Well thought out! 축하합니다^^ 좋은 추석 보내세요!

@heatherhollman3710 thanks so much Heather!! Haha it's pretty cool eh? Can't wait to show you guys the van, and it would be cool to do a camping trip together next time you guys are here! We have two tents, so I think we might be able to make it work with a few rentals! Miss you guys lots and hope all is well!
Congrats on the build!🎉 It looks beautiful! We also had a few funny weeks between moving out of our apartment & getting our van ready😅 So excited for you guys, hope it's a blast!💕🚐🌲
@AncloteLeviathan thank you so much! Haha it's definitely an adventure downsizing like that. Feels so good now that we got rid of all of our big things though. Hope all is well with your van adventures as well! 😁
Great build! I hope it brings you much happiness.
@@rodneysmith2360 thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement!

Hope all is well, stay safe, and enjoy the amazing weather coming up! (Hopefully, as it's been WAY too hot this year! Haha)

Good job. Looks great. You left me curious though how warm you can be during those cold Korean winters!
@timetravelr3000 thank you so much! We have a diesel heater we forgot to mention so it'll be interesting to see how well it works.
Yay! 🎉 The van is finally ready! It looks amazing! I loved all the smart design details. 🚐 I’m so happy for you guys! Looking forward to more vlogs and your new project. Take care and have a wonderful week! 🍀🇰🇷🫶

Good on you for the new interior design. I watched the latest clip about going and test the brand new car and I just wonder how are you going to live there 24 hours . Now I got it, have a wonderful journeys, enjoy!!!🎉
@@SaisuneeRammanee thank you so much! Haha yeah we needed a lot of things inside the car before moving in. Really appreciate the kind words and take care!
와우, 너무 집이 좋네요. 저도 이런 생활 꿈꾸고 있습니다. 차로 여행하며 살아 가고 싶네요.
감사합니다! @jasoncho1125님도 언젠가 이렇게 밴으로 다니실 수 있었으면 좋겠어요!
Don't worry about the portapotty. The bottom part is self contained. Just make sure you use the right treatment. The chemicals are environmentally friendly, and they clean the suit case-like bottom compartment. They also leave a pleasant small. The top part is cleaned just like any other toilet. When you're ready to dump, you detach the bottom, and you can even dispose of the contents in a regular toilet. Also, be careful not to cover the holes above your heat pump. They are there for ventilation.
@LB20278 thank you so much for this info! Will definitely have to try it someday just to see how it works. Luckily there are a lot of good public bathrooms all over Korea, so we will probably prioritize those when it's possible.
INSPIRING...
@mindfulbrews826 thank you so much! Really appreciate it!
NICE!!!😍
@vipsapik haha thanks so much! 😁
Wow, what an exciting journey! The van looks awesome 😎 Let us know if you visit Jeju-do 😊
@tdottravels thanks so much! Originally it was our plan to leave for Jeju straight on August 25th, but things took longer than expected so we will probably save Jeju for next Spring/early Summer.
great review/showcase of the van! excited to hear about your upcoming project!
@BasicStealthcamping thank you so much! Hope everything is going well with your bike adventure in Korea, and are you going to make some videos recapping it? Would love to check them out, as it's always interesting to see the perspectives of people who are newer to Korea and how it is cycle touring here for them.
@lostthenfound hey thanks! I will try putting something together although it will be a but different than what I had in mind at the start. might be a few weeks or so. Just a few more days in Seoul. I understand why you love Korea so much, it's a great place!
@BasicStealthcamping oh that's great to hear! Will stay tuned to your channel (no rush by the way! I know videos take a lot of time/effort). So happy you had a great time here, and have an amazing last few days in Seoul!
축하드립니다. 좋은 여행 많이 하시고 공유해 주시기 바랍니다. 덩달아 저도 여행 기분 좀 내게요... 그리고 밴이 정말 좋군요.
여행용 밴 별로라고 생각했는데 너무 내실있게 잘 만들었네요. 앞으로 한국 여행 뿐만이 아니라 블라디보스톡을 거쳐 러시아 몽골
중국 인도차이나 유럽 등 아시아 대륙 여행 완벽 여행기까지 기대하겠습니다
2025 Staria will be fully electric, that will make the car even more specious. Like the interior and can not wait for more content. Good luck
@procekim thank you so much! Yeah we contemplated getting the electric version instead, but it's just so convenient having the diesel fuel tank attached to the heater as well, and we're not sure how easy it would be to charge the van in the middle of the countryside. Really appreciate it, and take care!
Congrats and already looking forward to your new adventures! The car's layout is really fun- I'm glad I found this channel, your content is scratching the itch I hoped to see as someone who loves camping and cycling :Db So while waiting for your new videos I'll be knee deep going thru the older ones.
@valevain thanks so much for the kind words and support! Much appreciated, and hope to share some cool places in our van! All the best eh!
Matt and Yujin…great ride!!! A lot roomier than my 2008 Prius….couple of important items you must have - carbon monoxide/smoke detector….fire extinguisher…bear spray in case of emergency…and a spare jackery 1000 portable power station…usb fans - you can lower the power usage of a/c…best of luck to both of you…perhaps I can join you guys in Korea …I just gotta get my Prius shipped over to Korea from Cali…good luck and enjoy the ride!!!
@classickdramaclips thank you so much! We have the monoxide/smoke detector in there, and the portable power station and usb fans are a very good idea! That's awesome that you have a Prius kitted out as well! Hope all is well and take care eh!
