HOW WE MAKE MONEY WHILE LIVING IN A VAN (PART II)

HOW WE MAKE MONEY WHILE LIVING IN A VAN (PART II)

Watch How We Make Money While Living in a Van Part I

As you may (or may not) know by now, Eamon and I are a couple of Toronto-based entrepreneurs who live full-time in our DIY sprinter van conversion to save money and travel while running our tea business, Chaiwala (http://chaiwalachai.com/).

We chose van life partly because the internet makes it possible to work from anywhere, partly because of inflated real estate prices in Toronto, and also because they love adventure and don’t want to be tied down. We also looked long and hard at how to grow our small business outside of our own city and the only affordable solution was to move our lives into a tiny home on wheels!

In part 1 of the how to make money on the road series, we showed you a glimpse of our lives as small business owners who wholesale their product to local shops. And, today we show you a look at the second way we make money with our tea… which is vending at various flea markets and festivals to sample and sell our unique sticky chai!

The tea festival is a two day event (so as you are watching this we are back at it again!)

As always, if you have any questions at all… leave them in the comments below and we will get back to you.

    I have severe hospitalization level gluten allergy that most call celiac’s…

    I get long lasting pimples that turn into soars rather than heal immediately (I’m 35) when I eat any gluten or trace gluten what so ever.

    I just watched that black mirror series with the "ahhhhhhhhhh" hiarious

    One more means of fixing your cash issue is generating income on the internet. Simply Google *OnlineNetCareer. Com* and adhere to the very simply understood method. I acquired $652.00 the previous week right after using this website . You need to be pleased and thankful for finding this opportunity.?

    I admire you guys, you are independent and you don’t ask for money like a lot of YouTubers that I have watched. There’s your followers who want to help and I think this is great, but I disagree with these other’s who expect financial support from viewers who have to work hard to keep themselves afloat. So I sent respect and admiration to you, you are hard working beautiful people 💙 I truly wish you both love and good fortune 💙 Safe travelling my friends x 🌍 x

    This blog was so much fun to watch…🤗

  8. Ron D on December 9, 2022 at 1:00 am

    It appears that Eamon does not really like doing this. Bec seems to be the driving force behind the content.

    Aw happy 1-year engagement anni! <3 And yeah parking in Vancouver can be a real b*tch too haha. Sometimes you gotta take whatever is open, even if that means it’s 20-min away from your destination!

  13. Amber Cunningham on December 9, 2022 at 1:03 am

    Would love to try your chai but $20 international shipping makes it cost prohibitive for me. Sad. 😢

  28. All Stuff Tech on December 9, 2022 at 1:26 am

    Sauerkraut (all natural) is really good for your gut health. I am about to go to Trader Joe’s to pick some up right now. Yum, I love Sauerkraut with mustard (munchies time).

  29. ladyindeed on December 9, 2022 at 1:29 am

  33. Elise Michelle on December 9, 2022 at 1:32 am

    Hi guys! I just came across your channel and realize that I actually have some of your wonderful chai mix in my pantry that I got as a gift. I just re found it but sadly the best before date on it is Aug 2017. I was just wondering if I could still use it? Loving your channel btw 🙂

  34. Terri Shipkowski on December 9, 2022 at 1:35 am

  35. Collies World on December 9, 2022 at 1:37 am

  36. musskyulls on December 9, 2022 at 1:37 am

    I am dying to try your chai but shipping to me is almost the price of the bag of tea. 🙁 One day!

  37. Danielle Fahs on December 9, 2022 at 1:38 am

    Bless you both in your travels and Tea business…

  41. Allison Jaloszynski on December 9, 2022 at 1:43 am

    You guys truly are awesome. Let me first say, thanks for all the hard work you do because I know that vlogging is a lot of hard work! On top of running a business (: I had a couple of questions about starting an herbal tea business. I am an herbalist, we live in eastern Michigan and like Canada, it is often cold here for what feels like forever…lol. Anyway, I have a strong relationship with herbs due to my past healing experiences. I healed myself from hormonal disorders and re-constructed my body through diet and I have a great passion for providing others with that same opportunity.. My family is totally about backpacking and hiking and were always taking trips places, in fact Canada is one of our places we want to visit this next year. Anyway, we know the mission for our business and what we want to use and specialize in. However, I am just stumped on weather or not we want to do a wholesale business or just sell teas online for specialty. I have no idea what licenses I need or regulations for packaging tea are and I feel pretty lost! I do know that business is risk, but I don’t want to dive into more than what I need. Do I need a special building in which I can start my business or can I just start this low-risk from home? Since dried goods are technically considered low-risk "foods". If you have some time and wouldn’t mind I would love to know how you guys started your beautiful business and why you decided to do wholesale <3
    Thank you for your time in reading my message. Wish you the best guys!

  42. Alexis Diane on December 9, 2022 at 1:44 am

  43. Lauren Marie on December 9, 2022 at 1:44 am

  46. wompsify on December 9, 2022 at 1:46 am

    Do you guys have a manufacturer for your kits or do you buy them wholesale? Do you mix and pack the chai yourselves or do you have someone doing that now?

  47. Alexis Sahagun on December 9, 2022 at 1:47 am

    Phoenix, Arizona has so many local cafes in Downtown Phoenix! Let me know if you guys are ever down here and I would love to show you around!
    Not sure how youtube works– if there is a way to private message so I can share with you my email?
    Your channel is awesome! Would love to meet buddies in person lol

  48. Allison Sherman on December 9, 2022 at 1:49 am

    Sparked a memory of the days when I sold my art at shows:)

  49. Josh & Graci on December 9, 2022 at 1:49 am

    Chai chai chai!! Go eamon & bec!!!

  50. Lorraine Calvert on December 9, 2022 at 1:49 am

    OMG, you are such hard workers. I used to do trade shows for a big computer software producer and it took months to plan prepare and implement. I love love Chai tea. My sister lived in India for 10 years and she used to make it from scratch and it is amazing. I’m going to try and buy yours, if it’s not too pricey…I’m poor :-(. Seriously, congrats!
