Jack, you're a good brother. Congrats on the girl she's pretty

The best part about this video is seeing your ENTIRE family rally around & drive with you all that way - just so you can fulfil your dream of being a van owner! You truly are blessed! Yeah, it might seem *cringe*, I know, but trust me, it's so beautiful to see, esp as that amount of love & support feels so foreign to me. Looking forward to your new adventures, Finn! Congratulations matey!! All the best, Robbie :)

SO PROUD OF YOU FINNNN

Congrats on the van. Smart choice to get one in great shape. My son and I did the opposite. He bought a 77 westfailia when he was 15 years old. We cut every rusty panel off and rebuilt from ground up. Lots of ups and downs. We had great memories and trips but after 10 years he sold it because needed a truck. Sold it for what we had in it.

Hey Finn, I've been following you for awhile...congrats on your van. I'm old now but when I was 18, I bought a 1974 Volkswagen van like yours - it was orange and white and in great condition like yours. It even had the pop up with the extra bed. I really liked it and had a lot of fun as you will too. Be safe, have fun and I'm really happy for you!

So happy for you!! I teared up thinking of how proud your parents are but also the hurt of watching their son grow up and depart the nest. So excited for your new adventures and hugs to your parents!!

Love the van! Very cool and suits you. Your dad will have this thing working like new. Depression is tough, one thing your video shows is the sun will shine again, so don’t lose hope. Great that you continue to be an explorer who discovers new corners of this amazing planet and shares it with the rest of us.

yep when you get to be my age you will look back and realise that life is trully like a rollar coaster theres ups and downs and you cant go through it without the sad times cause its really part of the ride so just live it and enjoy the ride buddy and the most important thing i believe with all my heart is having a unbelievably fantastic family supporting and loving each other is the most important thing there is and you have that in spades from what iv seen throughout the years

Finally this man is happy again

AAAAAAHHH! This is so exciting! I'm so proud of you! I'm about to turn 18 and moving to Toronto next year for school, and it's so cool to see someone my age doing something so completely different and fun. Needless to say, I'm stoked to see where van life takes you. LESH GOOOOO!

i grew camping in a '74 Westfalia and then driving a '92... such great memories and builds! Congrats and enjoy!!

Congratulations Finn and all the best when you start your Van adventures. Blessings as well!!

Just found your channel yesterday. As a former Seaman of the German Navy I got addicted to all those sailing videos. But I really enjoy the way you film and edit your videos. Just so awesome !

Rodents love to get in vans, especially those left unused for months. Rodent repellant placed inside the van really helps (in tins or sachet bags). Don't forget a tin under the hood too! Nice looking home on wheels! Betty White, lesh goooo!

@@monumentmom7593 I keep my car hood up anytime the car is parked (in my garage) at my rural forested homestead. This has pretty much eliminated rodents getting in my car , along with the fragrant all natural peppermint and eucalyptus sachet bags. I also spray peppermint repellant around my car and under it once a week. No mice in over a decade since doing this.

Congrats on the van. You are truly blessed to have your parents. Thank them. Without them, you would not have any of this. I am excited to watch your travels. So what is your plan? Where do you plan on going once you are back from the boat?

Looks like a nice 1st vehicle. I'm looking forward to seeing your van adventures in the future!

It’s so great seeing you genuinely happy again

I am so, so, happy for you Finn! I remember purchasing my first vehicle, a 1972 Datsun 510. Like you I wasn't able to drive it on my own as I only had my learner permit at the time. I remember the first day I earned my driver permit, what a sense of freedom! You are truly blessed and we are blessed to share your adventures with you. ❤

In the next couple months look for things you can use in the van. For example, hand carved wooden bowls for eating out of. Bring the island life into the van 🌴👣🌞💚

Lesh goo bro! Watching your journey has been so inspiring!

Awesome video! I felt the same way when I bought my 85 Westy. Everything you described is on point, the excitement of having your own space and the feeling of owning a VW Van. You definitely seem to get it. Sweet van, favorite video yet. SeaBass Van is also pretty Rad! Same color/year as mine!

Way to go it's awesome to see you achieve your goals! June 13th can't come soon enough for ya LESH GOOOO!!

Congratulations!! That van is so nice. Awesome video man!!!!

Congrats!!! Everyone is rooting for you and your next adventure. Great to see you so happy.

Congrats man! I can't wait to see new videos about the van!! Love from Italy! :)

Congratulations I'm really really proud of you!! Lesh gooo!!!☀️☀️☀️

Super cool dude!! I’m about to graduate in 2 months and I am literally stuck between: going to a college I don’t really wanna go to all the way in Massachusetts away from California (my home), go to community and be closer to home but have no idea what i wanna do, or buy a van and travel around. Being 17 you really think your life is completely gonna fall apart if you don’t figure out what you wanna do with the rest of it. Seeing this video gave me a bit of hope and maybe i’ll do the whole van thing after all 🤷🏽‍♀️. Happy for you and your new chapter! Will definitely be sticking around.

So exciting! At least now you have it ready & waiting as soon as you get back off the boat and license sorted. Betty looks tidy and much better than the first van. Looking forward to the van vlogs. I'd LOVE to van tour around the US !

the thing I like most about your videos is the music. Studio quality, written for the moment, and well orchestrated, oh & original.. Kudos to you Finn

Congratulations! Im so happy for you!! Can't wait to see your adventures begin!! You do an excellent job with your videos!! Keep them coming!

I owned a '76 VW Westfalia - an even older version of yours. My best friend from HIgh School, my beagle and I spent a month traveling in it -- From Missoula, MT to Seattle, then down the West Coast until half our gas money was gone, then we turned around and came home. Great trip. Hope you get to enjoy it on some road trips

Ayy shoutout Ivan! Congrats on the van Finn, she’s a beauty!

New journey 🤭✨️ Am sooo excited for all the mini van vlogs 🚐🛣📻📹

Ready to support you on your new adventures. Glad that you are doing what makes you feel happy and fulfilled.

Praying safe travels for you Finn once you get started in van life. Look forward to your trips.

Love your videos so much definitely worth the wait! Congrats on the van !

Congratulations! I know you're going to love van life and we can't wait to see your videos. I highly recommend getting a journal or field notes to keep a log of your journeys.

Happy Easter ✝️ Congratulations Finn! Proud of you!😊

No because I was so hype whenever I saw that you got a van, van life is literally my dream and I am so excited to see your journey!

Congratulations fin!! Super proud of you!! Can’t wait to join you down the road too‼️💗

man I am so happy to hear you mention the Subaru engine conversion, I love the look of that van but anything from the 80s is questionable. (although they got better into the later 80s) anyhow, while you are on the boat start researching and learning that engine. You're pretty sharp I am sure you will be able to resolve most issues that may pop up. hope I see ya driving around some day in my neck of the woods. Lesh go!

Congrats Fiinn!!🎉 many blessed adventures ahead😁

happy for you bro, you changed my thought of life i am just in high school but i also want to explore the world on a sailboat when im having exchange year and i love your personality and videos. good luck in the van !!

I am so happy for you. I've been a subscriber of Zatara from right after the start. From a video perspective I watched all of you grow up. the three you you have done well. Please keep making videos.

Love that you're finding your own way to find out more about who you are. remember your comforts thooo, top to bottom water-seal, and insulate it. it looks very clean and kept, but definitely check every seam and door seal. No shame at all in asking dad for some help, but don't let him do it, have him watching and giving tips and helpful instruction along the way. Sounds like a great learning experience and forever bonding memories. Good Luck

Man you can't believe how Im glad to see you on van!!! Congrats

I’m so happy for you Finn!!🎉 it’s really inspiring seeing you going after your dreams like this! :)

Congratulations Finn!!! It is a great van to start with. Looking forward to your adventures😄🙌🏼

Glad you found the Van🚙 that fits you. Looking forward to your Van adventures after June 18th. In the meantime enjoy your other adventures. ⛵

yoo! stoked for the new video, I'm hoping to get into vanlife myself so this is super awesome to see

So happy for you Finn, it's cool to watch your dreams come together!

The way you make your videos is so unique I absolutely love it as a guy from the uk this is the dream !

Congratulations Brotha 🤙🏽 super proud of the young man you’re becoming I’m only 22 but I’ve been watching since 2020 and to see the progress you and your family have made is Amazing Thankyou for the adventures Much Love from Arizona 🌵❤

Love your van! My husband has worked for VW for 39 years! May you have many safe and adventurous times ahead! 🙏🏻

Congrats Finn. You’ll do and be just fine! Live your life my guy. You and the family are inspiration to a lot of people

Congrats Fin! I am not going to Bozeman because it’s too cold but it’s just as cold where I am heading in northern ID. Maybe we will see you over the road! I’m pulling a TAB320 in my Ford Explorer after camping in my Explorer for a stretch. .. living the life. Be safe.

Your best video to date!! Awesome job Finn, you got your van and it couldn’t be more perfect. You are so adorable with your goofy faces and sense of humor, and so comfortable in front of the camera. Also loved your music in this video. Another amazing talent you have!!!

Congratulations Finn! I can’t believe that just years back I was watching you get on the boat and now you are grown and getting ready to start your own adventure. I’m getting OLD 😅. Happy for you and can’t wait to see where you start.❤❤

We're gonna need a Van tour immediately! Can't wait for future videos, love the stuff!

Great video! Like your van, it will be great for your traveling! Glad you found one in good shape as well as upgraded too! You won’t average any problem getting your license! Enjoy your trip back to the boat and the Caribbean! I am looking forward to your future videos and adventures!

Hey Finn, Congrats on your van! My first car was a International ‘56 Travelall , like a miniature school buss, I drove that from MN to WA with my cat, loved every moment with it . I had bleu shag carpet and a kick ass stereo system, I got to say, my girlfriends did push it a lot to get it started. It was a great adventure almost 45 years ago, Good luck young man 🤙

love the way the whole fam is just so happy for you. congrats Finn its gonna be such a cool adventure

Your van is beautiful, Finn! Congrats crazy dude!

Broooo I have wanted a vanagon for so long! It is so cool to see you going for your dreams. Hope to see you get to live van life to the fullest! Maybe if I get a van I might see you around!

Congrats on getting the van it looks great. Can’t wait to see your travels with the van.

Congrats on the van!

So proud of you finn, I’ve watched your journey for a few months now, can’t wait to see the new videos!

Congratulations on getting your first vehicle and your first home ! Looking forward to watching your channel to see where you go in your van! Have a good week!

I’ve loved watching you grow up on the boat. You are blessed. You have a wonderful family you had such a great education. Your parents are just the best ever in the world and your siblings are incredible. Good things happen to good people. And you all are definitely awesome. Enjoy traveling and you Van be safe and enjoy all the wonderful things that life has to give it to you. Loves and hugs from grandma Tampa

Your singing is sounding good bro, also sweet Taylor guitar!

Such a nice family. How fortunate you all are.

Congratulations on the van purchase! 🎉 living vicariously through you right now… wish I would have done something like this when I was younger! Enjoy the van life my man, you’ve got the whole world in front of you, enjoy every moment!

Thank you for your videos… they get me thru hard times and beautiful scenery MANY OFVUS will never ever see so THANK YOU for all your hard work …. Humans help each other every day but never understand how many people they actually touch…. You do it in a positive manner and I love that… take care and love life sir

im in love with the idea of being this adventurous and source full ❤

yesss! really stoked to see all the thins coming! ❤

Your journey is just beginning one of your best videos yet. love your little rendition of sister golden hair. Two months will come sooner than you think! LESH GOO!!!!!

I couldn't stop smiling when you guys were playing Neil Young on the road trip, it's literally so nostalgic. Whole video is so awesome though, I can't wait to follow along with your van life!

Congratulations Finn, looking forward to see your new adventures. Wishing you nothing but the best in life.

STOKED for this new chapter 💗💗

Hey Finn! I love to see your family helping and supporting you! I hope u enjoy this van life journey! Sending good lucky and love from Brazil!

I lived and traveled in an 85 Westy for many years in my early twenties and I can not stress how important that time was in my life. I have since gotten back into nomadic life in my 50's and it's a whole different world. Remember that it's about taking your time and soak in the memories, it goes by sooooo fast. I highly suggest learning to white water kayaking, it will enhance the journey in ways you will not regret. My vans name was Butters, I have never cried selling a car, I did that day.

Be patient. It will all come together. I had my van a year before i had my license. Was well worth the wait. Best of luck. God's speed and stay safe!

I caaaant wait for this new chapter of your channel😄 I’ve alllways been obsessed with van life and now that my favorite KZreadr is doing it do is awesome!! Lesh gooooo

I’ll be following you along your journey! That’s so awesome! Love the fan! Hope you get to see some cool things and meet some cool people! Be safe and cautious!

Love the enthusiasm, Finn. I live in a small class c, and recently bought an abundance. Love living the van life, it's not for everyone but it's freedom. Got to hit the southwest, probably the best area weather wise year round. The He Pacific NW is the most beautiful area of the U.S. but too crowded for me. Best of luck, can't wait to see what you do next.

Finn entering his earth-phase; I'm here for it! If you're ever in Denmark, come take a peak in Aarhus :)

Finn in this video you eventually show the phone number of the person who sells vans. I can see every number of the phone, it may be bad for the owner's of the phone

Enjoy being on Land again. Drive safe! Nice van . In my prayers ! Enjoying exploring on the road!

Freedom, that’s the moral of this story. You guys have the freedoms to drive from one place to another, to another to another. I’ve never taken a road trip with family and aren’t as close with mine like you guys! Work gets in the way a lot and pulls us in different directions. Thanks for the video. I’m 42 I’m happy to watch your family on all its journeys on zattara, and now on the road. My wife and I are buying a Skokie to convert. I’m done in 3 yrs selling my house and traveling America. Life’s too short

Time for a new intro

Had an '85 VW Van several years ago, lots of fun! Life's an adventure, make it your own!

Dude, you had me straight geeking out with Jack and the mountains! 😂😂😂 Thank you, I needed that laugh!❤

Happy travels and stay safe. I have watched since the beginning of Zatara and am glad to see you follow your passions and interests. You are amazingly talented and gifted.

Congratulations on your purchase of the lovely Betty White! Getting your first car is so exciting! I have watched your channel for a couple of years and am so happy for you. We are currently in the Caribbean, too, on St. Martin, but will be going to Curaçao for a month starting next week. Would be very cool to meet you and your family one day. Say, if you are ever in the Bay Area of California you have a place to stay at our house in Berkeley overlooking San Francisco Bay! Safe travels and Lesh Go!

Finn! I am SO happy for you to soon… start your young-life! Love your enthusiasm! You remind me of my stepsons! (yeah, I’m old enough to be your Mom!😅) But, love watching your awesome family adventures! You are destined for a wonderful life Finn! God bless you and your family! Safe travels!

Congratulations! Can’t wait to follow along on your van life adventures!

Now you best come visit us in Oregon sometime! Nice van, that one has been well taken care of and a wonderful canvas to make her your own. Betty White fits her well!

I love your family! You all rallying around each other- ur parents r special too.

Amazing brotha, be safe and enjoy it. Feel free to swing through BC with it 🙌🏽 Also, Kate is an ideal sister wow!

I had a 1995 eurovan. I loved her so much. She was perfect except when she wasn’t and really it wasn’t anything somebody with some knowledge couldn’t keep up with. But I don’t have any mechanical skills although I did learn a lot, I just couldn’t afford the fixes. And as an older woman being solo it scared me to go too far off road, where I wanted to go. I did keep her and every trip was special and sleeping inside the van was the best sleep. Hearing the rain, feeling the wind whish and gently shake. There is a cult following for these vans. A certain type of person becomes an aficionado and it is common to use the peace sign passing each other on the road. You will love this van Finn. You might never sell it.

Congrats!!! The Van is so awesome. Owning a van is one of my biggests dreams too!!
