Dear ones,
We’ve been wanting to make this video for quite a while now but needed to let some time pass before we could wrap our heads around how to go about sharing quite possibly the most precious experience of our lives. In this video we answer some of your most asked questions from how we bought our converted Ford Transit van in England, to insurance, Visa restrictions and sooooo much more. PLUS, the best part is, you get to see lots of never-before-seen footage from our honeymoon!
Lots and lots of love,
Mr and Mrs A

Super video, look forward to it every Thursday (Happy Halloween!). Question though, what did you mean by fiberglass and sweating when you were talking about the ambulance? I ask because our van is a high top that used to be a cargo van. The high top portion is made of fiberglass with steel ribs. We just finished a year long build! Woot!
I always love your videos! Thank you guys❤️❤️
*I like the moon shade*
But where do ya’ll get money for food and gas? Do you work for money or were you blessed with wealthy parents? That’s the question I thought you were going to answer…..
I wish so much that I had someone who would travel the world with me. Y’all are so incredibly blessed.
Thanks for the helpful info! Where are you from in Michigan? Watching from Kalamazoo!
only isssue with moon shade is you need to make sure you park the right way to get shade ;p
Great video, thanks for sharing!!!…PIZZA NIGHT!!! GOT TO LOVE PIZZA NIGHT!!🍕😋🍕😋🍕😋🍕😋🍕
This has to be one of my favourite videos, loved it!! Take care.
Hello. Mr &Mrs Adventure. .r u interested to visit full moon island. Thailand. .We have a big coconut plantation for van life …
I really liked this. Thank you 🙂 also I loved that tulip garden. Tulips and daffodil’s are my favorite flower 🙂
Well you already know my vote! If you know any fire fighters fighting the forest fires in California or anywhere bounce this idea off them. You know those huge fans they use on movie sets may they can be used to counter the wind and push the Fires back onto bush and wood that has already been burned. Myth busters, the show, ounce had 9of them stacked in rows of three now that will really help a thing for Hurricane testing. If wind tunnel fans can be moved there is another idea! Each fan will need a generator but each fan can put out 100 mile an hour winds it might be enough to push back some of the fire!
Sorry not as complimentary as other messages just tell the hubby to keep the mustach!
I so look forward to you every Thurs…
Love love your channel🐼💮💗
Montenegro loves you ❤️💯
*very nice updates*
Thanks for brightening up my Thursdays guys:)
The trick is buying the insurance please explain how you did that!
Thanks. I didn’t start watching you until after Europe. So great that you gifted The Howeller.
That was awesome…cant wait to see what u got planned..❤
You two are beautiful, smart and fearless. 💕 Love the Europe flashbacks, so lucky you got to experience so much. Thanks for sharing so much info and inspiration. You should totally travel Asia some day!
I like those little cow bells they will be cool hanging in the van somewhere.jingle on the way.
I just found your channel and you guys live such a beautiful life keep on keepin on 💖✨ ps if anyone reading this could go subscribe to my channel I’m really trying to grow it ✨
Best van video ever! 👍😀 Such great information, from so much experience. You guys are awesome 🥰
Just love your videos, and one book on Indian curries I love and have can be bought 2nd hand from your amzon called Curries of India [Hardcover] Day Harvey with Mudnani Sarofini. Inside are curry powders by Sarojini Mudnani and ok, it’s a very old book, but it will give you the good basics of making great Indian food. I’m in the process of making a new You Tube account and will be in contact, so please don’t email me yet though you can post me comments here. Again thank you for brightening my life so much. Originally I found you guys doing a Burning Man vid and I’ve been following you ever since. God bless you and keep you and take care. Happy vanning!x

How do you know the forest was scarred’ i would suggest a roll out from each side of your moon shade ‘ shame you didn’t come the soon to be free again Scotland.
What about driving licence in abroad countries??
Yay! I loved the video, this was super helpful thanks 💕🙌🏾❤🤗
Love all your videos, guys! Wanna be friends on youtube? 🙂
When in Sedona, did you go to Oak Creek Canyon? Beautiful spot – been there 4 times……

Another great and Inspiring vid -Sedona is one of my fav places…! Hey Hippie Drew, any recommendations for powering up a truck to run 700w heater and a few lights…?
You guys are too cuuuute 😍 thanks for the info!! So going in and out of the schengen area was the main thing that allowed you guys to stay for so long? That’s awesome you had a connect on the UK for the address, how perfect!
What a great "tie it all together" video guys. Been watching for awhile and so very nice to get the big picture. So helpful too. You guys really are awesome. One very small, hopefully constructive criticism. I don’t personally like to be pointed at in the videos. Please just take it as one person’s preference you guys. Blessings to you both, Grace in India
