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!

  2. Kendra Wilson on February 15, 2022 at 10:56 pm

    I always love your videos! Thank you guys❤️❤️

  3. VANESSA’S VANLIFE JOURNEY on February 15, 2022 at 10:56 pm

    *I like the moon shade*

  4. Michelle.Shackelford on February 15, 2022 at 10:58 pm

    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.

  5. Katherine Burns on February 15, 2022 at 10:58 pm

    Thanks for the helpful info! Where are you from in Michigan? Watching from Kalamazoo!

  6. Vaughn H on February 15, 2022 at 10:59 pm

    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!

  12. Lisa H on February 15, 2022 at 11:06 pm

  23. Aco747lyte on February 15, 2022 at 11:23 pm

    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

    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
