Vegan Nomad Chick: Van Conversion series on youtube

Post by jacob »

A couple of digital nomads/AirBnB veterans bought a Volkswagen T4 Transporter to convert and live/travel in.

Updated daily (so far):

Other themes: suitcase-level minimalism, AirBnB, travel (visa-run style), veganism.

I learned a shitton about RVs from benfroggg. He did a series where he bought a shitty water damaged (everything damaged) RV from a junkyard and remodeled it.

Ohhhh I love these RVer's and their nomadic lifestyles. It always seems so romantic to me.

I used to follow a guy named Tynan. He was a poker player / coder that just traveled the country in his RV.

Here's a walk through of his old rig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tylz5sfCAOc

I thought this van build was pretty cool: https://youtu.be/a9MTujkjPcw

The guy has some amazing skills with wood.

It sounds like he must have had a great view. :lol: :lol: :lol:

This sort of lifestyle is really romantic... but hearing realities like that helps me realize it's not for me.
