VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Jesse and Janice lived the crazy lifestyle of packed work weeks, social weekends, and errands in between. While saving up for a house, they decided to switch gears and look into vanlife. Years later, it was the best decision they could have made as they travel the nation in their 1999 Dodge Ram van.
The interior is surprisingly packed with ample storage, an adorable kitchen, and useful hacks. Nova, the cat, has a bed loft and personal dining area that sits above a hidden litter box. The exterior stands out with a bright mural and a dirt bike mounted on the back rack!

These are mine and my husband’s friends! Jesse was my husband’s roommate for a long time. We love these guys, and we miss them since we aren’t nomads 😂 Love seeing them on a channel I watch a lot!
What an amusing midwestern accent she's got! She's got a fun, lively energy, while he seems very laid-back and quiet - they are an interesting couple. I like how their van is laid out, but I would've kept the bathroom.
That thing's like a Tardis! Way bigger on the inside than I expected
Wishing these tadpoles the very best luck.
That drawing the dude did is so inspiring and I love the creative mind of that dude, I love videos like this it's what l want to truly do with my life.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We make money by working seasonal jobs or just stop in cities to work when we're low on funds. We try to live frugally so we can be on the road longer

Yeah I actually went to high school with him back in the day. We had an art class together, back then I noticed he had a pretty cool creative spark, but it looks like he has developed that talent nicely since then.
What a beautiful couple! Your enthusiasm is contagious! Happy new home 💕
Soooothing colors. Such joyous peeps. Enjoy!
My besties!!! the most amazing couple ever, so proud of you both 🖤

The couple appear so happy 😊 with their lifestyle.
Very thoughtful couple! Nova’s bed & bath is great 😊🇦🇺
You have made an awesome home! I love the artwork and graphics! They are stunning! This van is cute, and comfortably cozy! You are wonderful inspiration! Happy trails! 💕
Cool! That van looks like such a great little home and you both look so happy. I love the little area sectioned off for Nova! I'm hoping to have something similar for my parrot.

Love it, awesome decor. It looks very comfortable.
Super fun guys! You guys are super fun!
Ahhh Janice and Jesse I love you so much! I love seeing your lives on the road so much
2:13 seems like most other couples I watch only eat ramen and sandwiches! Glad they change up the menu for themselves!
What an awesome van, love it… keep on trucking guys 😎🤙🏽
I love it. Perfect
Very good ❤ Happy traveling.
My cat is meowing while I'm watching yours🤣. How did you get her to stay at the van? Where does she run when she gets the zoomies??🤣😂

Haha 😂 she moved into the van when she was a kitten and we slowly built up trust with her. First she was leashed, now she free roams but we have a Bluetooth tracker in case we can't find her. She stays close! She doesn't get the zoomies inside too much, although she has A LOT of energy when it's a rainy day
They made it there own
VERY COLORFULL
I live in the same van, but mine is older. Much older. I like what they’ve done.
Love it! I have been looking at this model, however, I am not a minimalist n so not enough storage for me personally but I think it is super cute!🚐👍🏻❤️

I love you guys life awesome campervan kind of life i need now im a retired truck driver
Duuude that’s my family! 🎉
Great video. You seem like awesome people. What did it cost to have the mural done?
Most have vans don't have a microwave? I have one and a giant toaster oven lol. Looks well lived in.
I wish you good luck and I wished it were the back to the future 1777 delorian caravan. More lucky numbers more good luck.
❤❤❤❤❤
👌✨✨✨
How do you make money?
How do you keep the car cool/comfortable? Asking for the cat.

All of our windows open, the fan always brings in a breeze! On warm days we try to park in shade and put up reflectix, it's usually quite a bit cooler inside than out!
looks like based on your instagram you have been in the van since February? Based on the tour and interview, it sounded like you had been living this way for quite a while…maybe I missed it, but how long have you been living in a van?

A Microwave makes a good faraday cage cupboard .
I love the life of freedom. However, where does one go to the bathroom, or where is the shower? And how does one make any money with this lifestyle? Just a few things I couldn't do without...
Todavia tengo esperanzas por dios
Beautiful ❤️but we’re do you go to the bathroom and shower??? Even ur cat has a bathroom…. Just saying
I'm a minimalist with claustrophobia.
But how often do you find Free Places to stay?

We pay for a campsite maybe once a year, we stay in public land, national forests, etc- and always try to leave places better than we found them!
The only thing I’d change about the video would be to cover up the license plate for their safety.
There is no bathroom and shower

You were working 40 hours a week and decided you needed to do something different? Most people I know (including myself) have worked 50+ hours a week as a norm for years! Hmmmm. Guess I’ve been giving too much to a career.

To be fair, personal investment is the difference between a job and a career. They had jobs. You have a career. I'm sure you have contributed to your career with an expectation that it will repay you in the form of a comfortable retirement. For many, that is no longer a viable consideration. A sad reality.
How do you earn money to support yourselves? Most people I know who van full-time are retired. Are you independently wealthy?

You don't have to be retired to live this life. I work as a substitute teacher during the school year, live out of my SUV and sell jewelry and other craft items at the Flea Market and have more money in savings now than I did when I was working a full-time job.
