After moving into our home on wheels, our VW campervan Elton - we have spent almost 3 months doing van life full-time. So, we thought it was high time to share a bit more of what a regular day in our life is like as a couple, living in a converted camper van full time.

I love you guys. Because you make it look so easy no one really thinks about how difficult it is to be I such a small space and be with your spouse 24/7. As you have proven organization and communication or everything!❤️🙏
Oh yes you’re so right - it’s all about organisation and communication! ❤️ It keeps us ticking! 🤗
@@2Passports1Dream and the way you guys respect and love each other reminds me that I need a little work in that area. ❤️
My favourite sweethearts ! So nice to see a day in your (van) life ❤ Congrats to fixing your legal stuff so smoothly, Adriana!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
❤️❤️❤️
Just got in from work, and your video really relaxed me such nice scenery and a fantastic sunny day.
As always, I loved the video.
Glad your both well.
Kev
Ah that sounds so lovely! Thank you 😍 so happy that you could feel the chill vibes through the screen hehe!
I’m super envious. Wales is beautiful. I spent many years holidaying in Wales when my family lived in a remote cottage near Lampeter. I remember Aberaeron had this shop selling homemade honey ice cream. Great video guys 😊👍😊
Oh that sounds so lovely!! Thank you so much 🤗❤️
First of all thank you for another amazing video. Now secondly, I live in a tiny home with my husband and had the same issue. I had an oven but it was gas and never cooked evenly and I could only use 1 burner at a time like you. Sooooooo, my husband took out the oven and stove top, building us more counter space which I desperately needed having a UA-cam cooking channel. Now I use 1 induction burner and an air fryer... thought for you to ponder.. the air fryer is an amazing thing 😊😊 have never missed having an oven since it's essentially just that... anyway that's enough rambling... happy journey, I can't wait to see what you bring us next 😊😊😊
Much ❤️ Annie
Definitely definitely something we will consider! It seems like we need something like that just to broaden what we can cook! Thank you for the suggestion 😍😍
You two! Happy to see you’re settling in to your new home ❤️
Thank you!! 😍 it just gets better every day!
Brilliant! you two looks so happy, looks like your having the most amazing time , we wish you did more👏👏 drive safe and look forward to the next one.
Thank you!! We are really settling in and it’s such a lovely little home 😍
Watching your vids makes me so keen to get away in our van again soon. Great inspiration 😃👍
Ah awesome!! Thank you so much 😍
An omnia sweden stovetop oven is what you need, especially in Winter. Happy travels!
Oooooh sounds Good! We will look into it 😍
What a beautiful day and those beaches! Perfect spots you find. I daresay a small bbq grill that would fit in your ‘garage’ gives you another cooking option, weather permitting. You can make pizza and cook on it with the lid on at first. Goes fast too. Prepping veggies is always time consuming, no matter WHAT you’re cooking lol. Happy trails safe travels -take care of my friends Elton you wonderful you!😝❤️🦩💨
That’s a good point!! Haha Dylan’s convinced we need an actual pizza oven 😂 I’m not too sure! But that’s a good suggestion!
You should look at getting a mini air fryer/convection oven
Definitely a good idea! 😍
Hi guys what a great way to live im glad u had no problems with your migration uses look so happy look forward to the rest of your trip what a van 👍💯
Thank you! 🤗😍 We got lucky with the weather as well ☀️
Great video, i loved it, glad to see that you could fix your passport thing 🎉
Hehe thank you so much ❤️ I can finally relax now 😂
Have you guys considered an Omnia oven? It doesn't quite replace a full oven obviously but they're great for things like lasagne, shepherds pie, baking, that sort of thing. Gives you a lot more cooking options and it's just about big enough for a two person portion of whatever you're making. I got one this year and I love it,
So many people have suggested it and we had never even heard of it before!! Thank you!!
Absolutely lovely video your happiness is a real tonic
Hehehe thank you so much 🥹😍
@@2Passports1Dream We have an Autosleeper Symbol called Fudge 20 years old only done 53k miles and it's a brilliant vehicle. Hot and cold water. Shower room and toilet. Great fun in our older years
I don’t think you can help me in that way I am to old and being disabled to but I love to watch the many places you both visit I’m just along for the ride really 👍
Another awesome video which really makes me want to try vanlife soon 🙂
Go for it! It’s been amazing so far 😍
Love your Adventures ❤
Thank you! 😍🤗
Greetings from New Zealand. I am a 67 (in 2 weeks) male and live full time in my 4.3m caravan, travelling where I want, when I want. Monday is always my washing day. I started out with a 9m motorhome almost 6 years ago, while I was still working. The motorhome was good (heaps of room), but way bigger than I needed, and I was somewhat restricted in where I could go because of it's size. The caravan works for me because I can park up and then use my tow vehicle to run round in.
Wow that sounds absolutely perfect! I think it will take us some time to figure out exactly what suits us but so far so good!! 😍
@@2Passports1Dream I have thought about this a lot. In my opinion (for what it is worth) a van is ideal if you are looking to change location every 1-2 days. However, if you are planning longer stops in one place, then I think a caravan is more practical. As an example, I have now been at this freedom camp (wild camping) for almost 2 weeks. It is a lovely spot by the beach, but is only about 8km from a small city with supermarkets, laundromat etc.
I can tell you were born in Wales I can hear your lovely accent so you two enjoy your days out in the lovely sun ☀️
Heheh thank you so much 😍🏴
do you make stews or boil soup? Asian household will appreciate that stove for stir-fries. imagine frying up in a Thai kitchen, you whole van will smell like a food heaven. haha. Instant getaway.
Such a good idea!! We need to cook more Thai food 😍😍😍
Loving your videos, jut catching up with them after being in hospital for 4 weeks with kidney failure.
The beach at Abergele is Pensarn Beach, its a well know dogging beach thought i would let you know for future reference lol
Oh we are so sorry to hear that! We hope you’re okay ❤️❤️ oh wow, good to know 😂👀
@@2Passports1Dream thank you, feeling a lot better. Love your videos so much, so refreshing x
You guys should consider a ninja 4 in 1 acti fryer. Can use as an oven and to bake things. Small and compact but big enough to roast a chicken in. You will not be disappointed. Love the videos by the way
Thank you iso much for the suggestion!! We definitely need something like that 😍😍
Hi guys have you thought of getting an air fryer ideal for two people we use ours in our motorhome off grid no problem it’s basically a small fan oven anyway.
That’s a good idea!! Thank you for the suggestion! 🤗
I agree! You can get the kind that is like an oven with a door and 12 other functions! I was gonna suggest that too lol. Great minds! I HAVE to be able to bake! 🙏🏻🤔❤️
@@2Passports1Dreamif you get the smaller airfryer more counter space. If you get the oven type a little less space and you have to anchor it . More options, although, smaller one -less heating up the van. 🙏🏻❤️🦩💨
I all ready miss the airplane life. Excellent all around
Hehehe we will do some trips to fill that gap hopefully soon 😍!
You two are great!! I see your front Sweden, your English is so great, it’s like your from Southern California like I am.
I love your rig, did you buy it like that or did you put it together? Where did you guys meet, you seem very young.
One more question, does your solar give you enough power to use huge A/C during the night?
Thank you both for the well put together video logs.
This is Alan, I lived for 20 years in west Africa, my 2 sons and my wife live in Riverside, which is about an hour east of Los Angeles, Southern California!
God Bless you two as you travel, take care, looking forward to your response.
Hello!! Thank you very much! We start learning English quite young 🤗 We bought it like this, it was made from scratch by the previous owner! We met about 5-6 years ago, after university! We are both in our thirties hehe 🤗
The solar gives soooo much power - but we don’t have an ac unit, just a fan - it doesn’t get that hot here! 🤗🤗
I love it. It's great and interesting. Thanks. 👍👍👍😍😍
Wohoo! Thank you ❤️
Laundromats around here are about $2.50 for a load. About $1.00 to dry - Pennsylvania US.
Oh wow! That’s so affordable!
Looks like you passed through my hometown of Denbigh!
Chi'n siarad Cymraeg?
Yndw dwi’n siarad Cynmraeg 😁
Just found you love your content ❤
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I live just 15 mins from Abergele!!
Oh cool!! Lovely place 😍
Mitt tips till er: köp en omnia-ugn! Funkar hur bra som helst, har en i vårt torp där vi lever off-grid på sommaren.
Tack!! Det ska vi definitivt kolla upp! 😍🤗
Just as I was looking for something to watch 😊🌈
Oh yay!! 😍❤️
Where's your coffee machine gone!?😮
Hehe it’s just in the back!! Since we can’t fasten it down, we pop it in the back whilst we are driving 😂 we have to figure out a way to fasten it
Use a wok - stir-fries are great & healthy
That’s very true 😍🤗
What happened to your coffee machine?! 🤗💞
It’s still there!!! We still haven’t figured out how to fasten it so we have to put it down (or in the back) when we are driving otherwise it’ll fling off the side 😂
Why not have a look at Remoska for low wattage oven 👍
Ooooh we will look into it! Thank you!
Outdoor laundromat? That’s different.
Hehe it was easy to get to! They’re across the U.K. in loads of locations 🤗
@@2Passports1DreamACK THEY CAN SEE MY ‘unmentionables?!?! Ugh! 😝😝😝🦩💨
if you drying clothes in front crack front windows a bit let the moisture out great vid donny
Oh yes good point!! It was like a steam room in there 😂
lodi shararawt ja jaja🤣🎉
With all that cleaning, your a girl after my heart, Andriana🤣🤣👏
Hehehe! Can’t be having a mess!!
@@2Passports1Dream 🤣🤣
Camping oven would probably work in your van.
Oooooh 🤔
Hey Dylan…what happened to bro code. No one, I repeat no one was going above 60 mph. 😜 😜
Hahaha you’re right 😂 no speeding whatsoever
do and episode all in welsh and swedish with subtitles.
Haha that sounds chaotic because we wouldn’t understand eachother 😅
that's the fun part :)
When will you go to another countries ?😮😮😮😮😮
Soon!! 😍
❤❤❤❤
What happened to Surfshark? Last I heard you were plugging that vpn?
We have never worked with surfshark, but fun fact - nord owns surfshark hehe!
Thanks for the reply, I prefer Nord anyway 😎
Cleanliness is next to Godliness that’s right keep it clean 👍
Hahaha trueee!! 🤗🤗
Is it just me, or does Dylan sound more Welsh these days…..😁
It's what happens when you live here too long ;)
Is Ceredigion a county or is it Dyfed/Powys?
Ahh….it changed in 1996!
Hehe
It calls tiny space.
Is it hard to buy a house in UK now?
It’s very tiny! We wanted something we could move around in! But yes, there’s a cost of living crisis in the U.K. so affording a house seems impossible at the moment!
@@2Passports1Dream You are both still young, move to another country and live there.
Iv just found your channel so was was the legal stuff you did...?
Just had to get my passport notarised for some banking stuff back home! Nothing exciting hehe
@@2Passports1Dream Ok and thanks for the reply
When are you going back to Asia?
if they can take the van with them
Hehe we might go on a holiday there soon!! 😍 when it gets toooo cold in Elton (although we do have a heater 🙏🏼)
Why don't you invest in an air fryer, as its just a small oven
That’s a good idea! 🤗
No more coffee machine?
It’s in the back! We pop it in the garage when we aren’t using it since it isn’t stuck down
How to living in Van in winter very low temperature 😮😮😮😮😮 ?
We will find out 😅😅
I don’t understand what happened with the passport , are you now British naturalised sorry I missed it!
Haha no I’m still Swedish. I just had to get it notarised for some paperwork back home!
@@2Passports1Dream you are still Swedish for the time being ….😊
What happened to this weeks video?
Aha it will be up in an hour or so!! 🤗🤗
where and when do you shower???
As often as we can haha! We sometimes go go gyms so we can use the shower and other public showers. Otherwise it’s sometimes a lil wash in the sink! 🤗
@@2Passports1Dream i have to shower morning and night don't know about a lil wash in the sink...lol. All the best.
Cant believe you didnt use the outdoor gym! 😅
Hahaha it was more like a kids playground 😂
