Living on the Edge... of a City | Van Life
This week was spent on the outskirts of Phoenix. As full time van dwellers, we decided to bounce between city life and desert life to get the best of both worlds.
HUGE thanks to all of my Patrons

We are Linnea and Akela. Through the van build, I used my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a campervan by themselves and on a budget, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work.
Our goal is to inspire individuals to chase their dreams... to break from societal limitations and live the life they truly desire.

I left. I finally did it. I left and am on the road now. I travelled from Maine to Georgia to escape the cold weather. Putting up shop here for a month while I work on my rig. Once I get my rig to a good point, I am headed out West. You are one of the few people I follow that I actually aim to emulate. So, a resounding THANK YOU for all the hard work you have done, which was pivotal in me getting the gumption to do it. Happy travels! Merry Festivus! (This video was putting a constant smile on my face. You rock.)

Akela howling in the dessert was the best thing I’ve seen all day! Merry crimbo to you both and thanks for all the lovely content this year, you’ve been an absolute joy to hang out with xx
Akela so good making paw prints, what a dog.
That howling was EvErYthiNg! 💞
I just flat out enjoy you and Akela, you inspire me to be more healthy and active and trust me I am twice your age. But, I refuse to grow old…thank you for all of the sharing you and Akela do, I look forward to each video. I hope you and Akela had a very Merry Christmas 🐾🏋🏾♀️🚐🧘🏾♂️🎄
The look on Akela's face with the paw prints is priceless! 🥰 thank you both for bringing so much joy to people.much appreciated! Love your music btw.
Love seeing the behind the scenes of our Christmas card! ❤️ Couldn’t help chuckling just a little, too cute!! Happy Holidays! 🐾
I used to have an Australian shepherd mix who loved to sing with me! We would sit in the kitchen and pull out all our favorite songs. She had a beautiful voice. Thank you for helping me remember those beautiful moments!
Omg, the paw prints
Oh man. Howling with Akela made me miss my shepherds so much!! They are the best dogs!!
OMG.. Akela's paw prints. She's such a GOOD GIRL! adorable!!!
Tkx for the lovely concert with Akela as a crooner...very special. Omg i live that dog.....
Beautiful area you’re staying at. If you are traveling through Tucson and need a safe place to park, you and Akela are welcome here at mi casa. I am a fan of van lifers, but old enough to be your mom 😉
Sshhhh low key who else gets excited when they get a Notification of linnea’s & Akela’s vid….. ???? I’m looking forward to these upgrade builds. Happy holiday
You and Akela are living ✨️ the dream ✨️. It is really good to see. The howling was super 👌 awesome to witness 👏. The moon was incredible to watch.
The look on Akela’s face is everything 😂 looks so skeptical, like she’s signing her soul away

Thanks for another excellent video. I just left Key West after a month and a half and am slowly heading to Imperial Beach CA with my English Bulldog. She comes running when she hears your voice.

I live in Imperial Beach! What a small world.
the wood burned mushroom was the coolest part of the video. Nice custom aesthetic touch.
JUST WONDERFUL/you have a sweet friend /howeling on key-very good too/coffee looked good too/what coffee do you like/name/thanks much
Absolutely enjoyed listening to Akela sing!
Akela’s paw prints remind me of ink blots. I think I saw a bunny. What does that mean? LOL. The howl was priceless. She looked a little self conscious at first but she nailed the high note for sure. She also gave us a full moon on a full moon. Ain’t she the best! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Cheers from Canader eh!
Adela,s look while you were doing paw prints: priceless!
a broccoli eating, card making dog that sings with you, what more could you ask for.
I love how you explained to akela what you’re doing first. Its so cute to watch her face as she listens. ☺️
Aww you and Akela howling that was cute , you live such a wonderful life with her your very blessed loved your cards beautiful.
Akela is a sport, so obedient ❤❤❤
Akela’s like ONLY for you Mom…….and there better be lots of treats and cuddles forthcoming! ❤️🐾
I enjoy following you, you look like you are having a lot of fun and that you love your dog so much I can't wait every week for your new post. Enjoy every moment and be safe.
I can't remember if we have commented on your videos before, but we love watching them! We live on a sailboat preparing to sail the world... it's like aquatic bus life! :) stay safe out there!
Oo, Girl, heard some Lake Street Dive up in that van. Swoon! And Akela is quite the artist with that paw work. Her sweet face made me laugh. ❤
NIcely done young lady. Very easy to watch. Enjoyable. And I think you're the first person to put a pooping dog on a video. Sort of like the first toilet flush on TV, an episode of "All in the Family". Thnx.
Wow! I miss Arizona so much. I spent 6 months hoping around public land surrounding Phoenix. This video felt like home to me. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness, Akela is just too cute this week!!
Just drove my newly converted van halfway across the country and wish I had a howling partner! That made my night out here in the middle of Kansas.😀
Dogs really are the greatest creatures on earth. Great video, love seeing your and Akela’s life together.
You weren't too far from me. It would be a nice surprise to wake up and find one of my distant neighbors was the famous and beautiful Akela.
Happy Holidays to you and Akela. Love the paw prints 🐾 My daughter and I enjoyed your video today as always. Safe travels for ya'll. ❤
That howling. Priceless
Nothin better than a harvest moon out in the desert!
I laughed when Akela finished pooping...walked away and glanced at the moon like "oh yea, nice moon"
Nothing better then watching you and Akela Linnea! I hope you had a good Christmas and I hope your New Year will be eventful and glorious!
I love your dog. He is such a great companion
Akela is so well trained! Its so impressive!
SHARED with friends ❤️ ❤️.
Akela is such a sweetheart!
Your video always warm my heart. Thank you 💚
You seem so grounded and at peace, such a wonderful thing to watch. All the best for 2022
Paw print Christmas card video was the best! I love it!! Merry Christmas!!!
I started watching your videos because of your van build. I've stayed because your unique ability to wear your heart on your sleeve. Whether you're anxiety over something going wrong or your heart felt happiness over something working out. You have a knack for portraying your emotions. Keep doing you. Thanks for all the smiles.
Another wonderful video. But that moon rise! Wow. Gorgeous!
Oh my goodness, that was so cute watching you and Akela making Christmas cards. Her howling was also adorable. Loved this video ❤️ I’m now a Patron and hoping this Christmas “2024” I will get a Linnea & Akela Christmas card.

Thank you so much for joining Patreon! We'll definitely do something special for the holiday!
THAT WAS COOL! i tried to do that( make paw prints ) and sing with my two little dogs and all they would growl when trying to paw print them and bark when trying to get them to howl!
Love your videos💜 Akela is such a sweetie!
I used to Howell at the moon with my two daughters and my white Shepherd. You brought back really good memories.
You guys howling together, cute.
Enjoying life! greetings from down under Australia 🇦🇺
Linnea got ICE-CREAM! So glad the solar upgrade has brought a few more creature comforts back into your lives. Akela patiently allows you to create paw-painted cards- priceless.
wow wow wee wow wow!!!!
This has to be one of my favorite videos of yours...not sure if it was the howling or amazing moon or the wind storm or the foot prints...funny thing is I remember that blood orange moon and bad wind and rain storm in Arizona.. I left and headed towards Valley of Fire on the 22nd and if I'm not mistaken that moon was the 21st and wind storm was the 20th...we must have been in the same area
I LIVE IN THE PHOENIX AREA!! I come to your page for ideas and help on my build. Well here you are in Phx. :) Im using my van for road trips not full time but it needs to be just as cool as yours.
the printmaking sesh was so sweet!!🐾
Nice shot! I’ve never seen two full moons like that before. 😂❤️
