We have loved living in a van (self converted sprinter van) for the last year and a half and while we enjoy spending time in Canada it can get a little cold throughout the winter. So, we’ve decided to hit the road and drive across the continent to enjoy some warmer weather in Baja Mexico. If our last trip to this country taught us anything… it’s to expect the unexpected!!
In today’s episode we take you to Santa Monica in LA and chat a little bit about our first impression of Los Angeles. We had heard a lot of mixed reviews about van life in this city before arriving and (as always) we wanted to see what it would be like to live in a van here for ourselves! Join us as we take you Santa Monica pier, drive Lime scooters around the city and eat our way through all of the many vegan restaurants here 🙂

I just found your channel and I love it! You guys are so cool! If you ever go back to Santa Monica you have to try AVO cafe! It was my favorite place for actually healthy vegan food. This vlog makes me miss LA soooo much 😭💗
You two are adorable!! LA vibe you got it.
Love gratitude cafe! Impressed that you found parking – we gave up after circling a few times and parked outside the city. Wish we would have thought to use scooters!
Your friends roommate looks like a dark Josh Altman lol
I grew up in San Diego, and, in high school, I dated a girl that lived in Malibu, so every weekend I would drive up to visit her. Long story short, with exception of the coast [all those beautiful beaches], I so hated L.A. The nice thing about California is that you’re getting three separate countries in one state [San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco].
Love to see how you guys deal with like your clothing in a van? Personal belongings?
Ull said ull gave the cafe all ur money but then ull got ice cream after😂😂 anyway I love ull❤️❤️❤️🌎
Eamon, you totally have a surfer attitude because of your laid back attitude of one day at a time but with a purpose. Many do not know, but surfers get up way, way early and are way dedicated to the surf and finding that perfect wave.
well he looks like a girl. might as well wear a girls jacket..
Lol to your "will I fit in" Your a vegan living an alternative lifestyle: basically invented in Cali.
Bec, you look like Tuesday from the Adams Family 10:00
Hella late to this video but I’m so glad you guys enjoyed LA!
I was born and raised here and it’s always funny to me how people who have lived here their whole lives here usually tend to not jive with Los Angeles and just want to get out but then whenever someone comes to visits they always seems to really enjoy and appreciate it. I personally don’t like the LA vibe/ scene at all anymore, the people are too self obsessed and it’s hard to find any down to earth people here (in my experience at least)
Grew up in Santa Monica, eyyyyy! Cafe Gratitude is an awesome concept
You will find it easier on the skooter if you were sneakers.
You must see Zooma beach and go pass the docks or go hike all the way to top and the other side of hike and take the stairs to go all the way down. Once you there you’ll andertant what I mean. And if you wish to walk 4 miles one way go to upper Escondido fall. Let me know if you like it 😜☺️😉😃🙂😜😃 i
Woohoo! Silver lake resident here…so upgraded and hipster like. Come back anytime
you were right the first time. Kinda. It was Bec and me. Not Bec and I. You know not to start a sentence with me. Good. The game plan consists of Bec (cos it’s polite to put all your friends first) and me exploring LA. Would you ever say I exploring LA? Nope. Make it right individually, like him and her weren’t exploring, but he was and she was, so – he and she were……viola’ – you got it.
When Eamon said he met a guy named Jason at cafe gratitude… I really thought he met Jason Mraz at the cafe!!
It was a sick skateboard Eamon
Would love to see them join you on the trip !
I feel like I need merch with just Eamon’s eyebrows. They are so expressive and endearing! <3
LA is definitely possible for vanlife, if you’re in venice/santa monica you can cruise around and find parking spots by looking for RVs and other vans with roof vents open. Theres a little section of the PCH up near Surfrider beach that you can sleep overnight too with porta potties across the street.
Great video guys. Looks like a blast. I’m looking to live this lifestyle as well. Due to necessity unfortunately.

Happy Sunday everyone! What do you think about Eamon’s new voice over role?!?
A week late but hi 👋
After a long time feel happy to c both of u love bless
@4:20 I am cringing
The scooters are environmentally friendly as long as they are on street. As soon as they can’t do the job anymore they mostly land in the ocean.
you guys would LOVE Santa Barbara
Sam is such a cutie pie.
I am smellin’ like the rose, That somebody gave me, On my birthday deathbed. I am smellin’ like the rose,That somebody gave me, ‘Cause I’m dead and bloated … STP

I just got your cook book. I want send you a huge, heartfelt thank you for helping my transition to veganism! Knowing people like you are living a vegan life has been an inspiration!
And, as always, great video 🙂
Damn wish I watched this before leaving LA. The “I Am” restaurant looked so good.
how much carbon is spewed to build, maintain and support the IT side of the infrastructure of those scooters?,
Cooles video. It’s a long time ago since I was in LA. I guess the last time 2001. and before 1979. WOW, I’m getting old 🤣🤣
LA sucks. Live there for a year, and you will see how it really bad it is….
Im so obsessed with watching yall!!
