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!

Iz and Tom :)
So beautiful! I was also there, and I remember all the places and the emotions. Fantastic video! Respect!
A magic destination. You guys have shown it so well.
Just a fabulous series of videos, stunning scenery throughout……hats off to the two of you 👏👏
what a stunning video. Quite emotional- love your descriptions and observations x
Wow guyssssss this is one of my favourite episodes. So amazing. Made me want to cry!!!
Just incredible drone shots Tom. Excellent video. Thank you. Stay safe you two.
Fantastic you guys do such amazing vlogs. Loving them. Xx
Lived in Norway my entire life, but first visited Lofoten Islands last summer. We are blessed with some nice nature in this country, but I was blown away by the lofoten islands. We got the same weather as you guys at Reinebringen and Ramberg beach as well. Now I just need to sort of my finances and buy myself a campervan as well. saw a few of your videos allready. Keep up the good work
Isnt it cold in These Islands. I thought you need the biggest Coats but she runs around in a bikini
Beautiful little film - I love how the island kind of got into you and you just seemed changed and amazed. What wonderful memories you have recorded for yourselves, as well as us.
Loved this video---Well Done!!
Can't wait till we go to Iceland next Summer!
Beautiful stunning videos
Wow ..what a place..thanks for sharing your travels 🇬🇧👍
Drone footage was beautiful what a place!! Loads of people will never get to visit there to see the views, so thank you for your work...xx Rosemary in Belfast.
The steps are laid manually by workers from a small village in Tibet. A Norwegian contractor employee 10-20 workers from the same village every year to build pathts in popular hard to get to turist spots. :)
Actually the government hire them to lay those steps, as the sherpas are amazing climbers and they are in incredible shape. They get paid roughly 20,000 Euro for two and a half months work each.
@@Proskater134 It's a Geirr Vetti of Stibyggjaren AS that employ the Sherpas and are contracted by local or national goverment to upgrade hard to get tourist spots.
There are several UA-cam films of the work they carry out.
Wow what a place, watch most of your videos and there amazing, but that has to be best place I’ve seen, thanks for keeping us entertained your amazing couple 👍❤️
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your day.
Wow what a place, those views are spectacular. - and I need to go buy wraps now!
Extremely gorgeous scenery, great video!
What a great views!!!! So beautifull . We wanna go there to !!!
beautiful and amazing. No wonder you are both awestruck. What an adventure you are having. Bet you are soò glad you turned left in Denmark and decided to travel through Norway. Great to betaken along with you, thank you for all your effort in posting daily vlogs. Much appreciated xx
Great video. So fun to watch. Thank you.
Epic episode - Thank you !!
Guys you are doing such a great job. Putting us oldies to shame. Giving me lots of ideas. Sent a coffee to you enjoy
What an amazing place ! Top notch job on capturing it on video.
I've moved to watching your Norway videos on my telly. Need the biggest possible screen to do it justice - what a stunning country, the only place I've been like it is the Alps, but no seascapes or beaches there!
You will surely remember this trip forever 🔥
O my God, the view from the mountain top is absolutely magnificent.😲👍😊💙
Enjoying these vlogs every day.
Outstanding scenery
WOW. Just WOW. Brilliant video.
Loved this vlog guys x Keeps pushing us with our vlog. Love watching other couples trips. x
everything about that beach is jaw dropping, from the Campsite which is WOW! i am well impressed
All I can say is 👍👍👍👍 Wonderful place. Well done, great blog
Absolutely stunning! incredible beach/midnight sun scene 🌞
the stairs are made by himalayan sherpas, they hire several sherpas for the seasons to build these kinds of stairs around in Norway... these are paid well and make quite abit of money to take back to their village.
They did, swimming in the artic ocean in a caribbean landscape. Yes, one of the beautifullest landscape I've ever been. Many thanks for your drone shots Tom. Unfortunately I was never been in such conditions for those 16.. steps. r u hooked now by the norge virus ? A mate who never had any relation to the nature told me after his short trip to Norway: you are always curious what to see avter the next curve on the road and you will never be disappointed. I am sure such impressions will never get out of your memory.
Absolutely outstanding wonderful beautiful Island and the beach was ti die for.thank youuuùuu
Nice view from that mountain and beautiful nice water
Everything you’re doing is just fabulous surreal out of this world
Can't wait. Kjerag hike tomoz
I miss my time in Norway. Catching enough snowflakes to make a snowball in December, cycling on empty roads at midnight in June/July! Have fun you two.
Truly fascinating & Beautiful, Thank you 🙏🏼 👏👏👏☘️
Just fabulous.............
Vibes 🌟🌟 🔥
Those views are insane! 😍 great video 👍🏻
best drone footage I've seen....many thanks!
In the summer you sleep little, in the winter you sleep more. Don't waste the summer light. Don't make the bedroom to dark, you will sleep away the light.
Love that you are visiting my home area :)
Thank you for another excellent presentation, I envy the pair of you, the sheer enjoyment of both of you shines through.
What an incredible day and experience. This is my fav of all the vids you have done. Tom, you will treasure those incredible drone shots always and forever!
1,600 steps! I'm about to have a heart attack...
Great video guy's and amazing view's I think that I would need oxygen halfway up ❤
I live in northen part of Norway. Not far from Bodø. We have the midnight sun from end of may to almost all of july. Even if i'm used to it,i'll think it is breathtaking every summer. 🥰😎
So much fun it's nice to see
Perhaps I’ve gone mad but this song goes around in my head!
We’re lost in transit,
Feel so alive
I quit my nine to five
We’re lost in transit.
Izzy looks like she belongs in Norway 🧡🖤🥰😍🤘
Newly subscribed and loving your videos, keep living the dream, big love from France
Great video guys.
... now THATS an artic plunge 😉
Great Video and Amazing place
Can just tell from listening to you how overwhelmed you both are by the sheer beauty of your present stay. That hike was certainly worth the climb for the views and once again the entire video and footage is stunning....🚐👏👏☘
Love to see that you guys are enjoying my birthplace Lofoten
This part of the journey has been amazing. You've seen some stunning stuff on the trip. And those beaches look amazing !
Fantastic thanks guys.
So beautiful place .
A breath taking hike.
Thumbnails better than the yachting channels.
A beautiful video of scenery 👍
I am from northern Norway but live in Oslo. I drive north by car about every 2 - 3 years. Something that never ceases to amaze me is that in Oslo it gets dark in the evening at around 10:00. But after only 1,500 km by car, it's bright all night. You get a sense of how small the earth actually is when 18 hours in a car can change the rhythm of the day so drastically.
Yes the lofoten island are very special and unique I can tell the neighboring island is even better, best regards
On Otrøya, outside Molde there's a 2200step staircase...
And both these staircases and many others here in Norway were built by Tibetan Sherpas.
And they love working here. In just a few months they earn more than they could hope for in a year, without the danger of climbing Mt. Everest. And they consider the work 'easy'...
Incidentally, if you visit Galdhøpiggen, Norways highest mountain, you might find Dawa Chhiri, one of the more famous Sherpas working as a guide.
Remember, the more Sherpas that can find well-paying work outside Tibet, the fewer has to risk their lives guiding people with no common sense or climbing experience up Mt. Everest.
Thanks 4 that info, I was wondering abt that looking at d prayer flags at d bottom of stairs. One correction though...Everest & most other 8k+ high peaks r in Nepal not Tibet also, Sherpa people mostly live in d Himalayan regions of Nepal & India.
Those drone views were out of this world and looking like a painting. Simply wonderful. And that beach? Wow!
Stunning place fair play .
I’m so glad I “found” In Transit!❤️
just wow 😀 what a place
Great episode.
Great video 👍🙂
amazing tour ! new sub !
Norway seems magical
Wow. Just wow. That's nuts that the sun doesn't set, I'm used to time zone changes ruining your body clock but this is something else. Loving the vidz
lovely
Hi!
We just stumbled upon your channel a couple days ago, since we are accompanying a pair of swedish irish-playing musicians on a ten day tour in Ireland, leaving Sweden 2 of july. You have a great channel and your positivity is inspiring. Now I just wanted you to know about the motorhome place "Raften", a highlight on our motorhome Lofoten trip back in 2018. Showers, toilets, fresh water, beautiful scenery and the "Hurtigruten" passing by. Almost camping standard! Cant remember if there were any washingmachines though...
As for us, We´ll be looking forward to visiting a lot of pubs in Ireland in a few weeks!
Stay safe!
Unbelievable really and truly amazing
Brilliant cheers my dears
Stunning place. The view from the mountain top reminded me of rio de janeiro . Credit to you guys . You just go for it. You do not let anything hold you back. I would love to take time out . Unfortunately i have to much on my plate for this life style.
But it’s nice to see someone else showing us what we are missing. Safe journeys.
you may leave this place, but your heart will stay...
Subhan'Allah, Norway is beautiful! thank you guys for showcasing Norway, I will definitely keep it on my list of countries to visit!
Kalo liat pemandangan begini rasanya nyaman banget ya
This episode is brilliant! Thanks for your hard work documenting it & just for being you!
Just a little bit over a week now and coming to Norway with my bicycle. :-)
😮😮😮so stunningly beautiful 🤩
😃🚐 Lovin' it!
I live here and almost daily I have to stop and say: Wow! 😂 ❤️
Really something else
It's stunningly beautiful 😊 thank you for taking us along and enjoy 🙏
Amazing
Awesome ❣️
Sun in the midnight 🤔
I have not seen this before
You could watch the film _Insomnia_ -- either the original or the Holywood remake -- which is about losing the sense of time in Northern Norway.
You HAVE to visit Ålesund and Geiranger, west in Norway!
Really quite emotional
If you come up north, weatherforecast is quite OK until monday 😊😊
Scared of heights so yeah nah 😂 Thats making me Almost sick. I wish I could do that.
Some stunning video here; any moose yet? (know you're 'veggies', but they taste great!).
