Heyo! Mitch and Day here 👋🏼
We’re just your typical American-Colombian couple determined to live every second of our precious time here on earth to the fullest. After a 10-month solo backpacking trip through South America, I (Mitch) stopped in Cali, Colombia to take salsa dancing classes 💃🏻. I only planned to stay for a couple weeks, but God had other plans for me. I met a cute Colombian girl (Day) in class, those couple weeks turned into a couple years, and before we knew it…we were married 👰🏻🤵🏼
Now we’re traveling the world full time as digital nomads, supporting ourselves by working online 👨💻👩💻
Our goal with these videos is to inspire you to step outside your comfort zone, give you an inside peek at our crazy imperfect lives, and show you that you don’t have to be rich to live an extraordinary life…all you need to do is make the choice!

as a van lifer, I cant tell you how many times Ive used rule number 10.
You two are such an adorable pair. Really enjoyed this video.
Not going to lie, #10 is the best one and I could not agree with you more. Thanks, guys!
These are awesome hacks! I didn’t even think about the shoe organizer being repurposed. That’s so easy and genius
Did you guys modify your table? We have the stupid clover table that’s awkward and heavy.
Great examples of thinking outside the box – refreshingly non-bougie!
d hooks i think is what they call them great video thank you
Fancy stuff 😂
This video was definitely for me!!😁😊👏👍
Cheers from Australia 🤠🇦🇺
thank you both ~ i’m getting ready for van life and appreciate your hacks, right on! in fact i have already been a fan of caribeaners and bungi cords without knowing why, but i am sure i will find out! : ) happy adventures!!
Which was your fav camper van hack? What’s the best hack you’ve came up with?
13 seconds in : ……… He…. Has……amazing…… Eyes 😮
OK, I’ll resume the upload now… :/
Poke holes in orange juice lid to reduce water flow
Good thing about urban van life?? There’s always a gym near by for a good long shower hehehe
Sir, your eyes are beautiful. I am sure you have heard that before. Gorgeous eyes.
Budget travel guy has the same roadtrek. He shows how to add a shower to your roadtrek, simple and about $50 (I would use a different shower head but that’s personal preference) Also get a inexpensive shower curtain and magnet to the door. Just a suggestion as I guess there is a reason you don’t want to use the water tank that’s on board for dishes and showers only.
Love your ingenious and affordable roadtrek hacks. 🙂
Temperature is a big thing for my 5 kids living in a bus. The best investments we’ve had are the cheap eBay diesel heaters to endure the cold and the $15 12v fans (again eBay) that can be hung above your bed for when it is hot.
The last tip lmao 😀 How did I not realize that earlier?
good video good ideas keep it up
The shower scenes were the best! LOL Too many good hacks to pick a favorite!
Lots of good hacks. We love using the packing cubes. I also started mixing them up to have a couple of changes of clothes in each, so I don’t have to dig out more than the first one I can reach, and I keep a small one to take my clean clothes when I go to take a shower. Nearly every Roadtrek owner uses the bathroom for storage when traveling. Chairs & table, etc. are a good idea, if you are okay leaving them out at night. Ours came from garage sales so we aren’t overly protective.
The way you can tell how kind he is towards her not being totally fluent with certain English words as someone who’s first language is Spanish I love to see it subscribed as soon as I saw it ❤️
This was great, you guys are super fun! Cheers!

Thank you for sharing your clever ideas!
Hook thingamajiggers are called d rings
Vacuum bags
At 8:00 minutes, the second type of hook… I like it, do you have a link to it?

This video should have about a million views! Amazing tips and hacks. Thank you- as I begin Jeep life this will really help. My adult daughter is sick and I will be staying with her and helping her and traveling some. I would love to meet you on the road sometime and hopefully I will have a nice Jeep build by then.
