Living full-time in my rolling tiny home has been the best decision of my life. Off-Grid living offers a peace and connection to life that you just can’t explain. When i first started van life i build a stealth camper van with the mindset the you had to live a stealth van life and i soon discovered that you can just live the city van life and boondock in the countryside and as long as you are respectful of the backcountry and cities you live in. Stealth van life in not necessary. Be proud of the life you choose to live, Share this van life journey with everyone. Remember Tiny Homes and The whole tiny house lifestyle is very popular and #vanlife is no different. When you don’t hide it people will come say hi and ask you questions. The world is more curious than hateful. Well……Welcome to my everyday van life adventures. My name is Chrome Valdez and i travel full-time with Cruz the bulldog. Stay weird everyone and thank you for being here.

    That was so cool. I loved the van of the guy who has the YouTube channel big sad adventure. I really loved his van. I tried to look up his channel on YouTube but nothing popped up so I’m kind of disappointed about that because I really would want to follow him but I could not find him on YouTube

  7. John Steven Perez on June 6, 2022 at 10:48 pm

    Thank you for showing us around during your meet up, Chrome. Lots of smiles from Cali.

  8. Pieter Huysken on June 6, 2022 at 10:48 pm

    I’m a mechanic that lives in Michigan, US, just watched that guy pull the heat shield off your exhaust and it was so satisfying. I’ve wanted to do that 20 second fix for you since you mentioned that that there was a weird rattle under the van. I’d love to see you swing this way through the states some day, our state is gorgeous!!

    Love, Love, Love !

    A Singing Bowl !! ( Tibetan Bell ) ❀❀❀

    CHROME !!!! — I’m a day late telling you this but I really need to post it here,…
    …. when I was cruising through North Central Wisconsin, I stopped at a QuikTrip gas station and parked in the parking lot next to it.
    I immediately noticed 2 Van’s, a truck with a box on the back, and a big 5th wheel, all parked side-by-side …..they were hanging out talking– THEN they kept STARING at the back of my van !
    As I was walking to the gas station, I heard them yell out REALLY loud,

    " WHAAAATS –UP WEIRDOOOS !!! " …..

    It turns out they noticed the STICKERS on the back of my van 😎😁
    I was BEAMING 😁😁 and gave them a wave. …they were traveling together……. a couple of my friends having witnessed that, wish a camera would have been rolling to capture that moment, ….
    that was the bomb !!! … and there was a promise to pass this along to you ……❀❀❀❀
    That was quite unexpected !!! – WOW –

    Chrome, …..you DO " Get Around " πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ β€πŸ‘

  27. Bob Rouse on June 6, 2022 at 11:12 pm

    Interesting that you pronounce Calgary as "Cal-Gary’ when we Americans pronounce it as "Cal-ga-ree"

  28. Bearded Nomad Vanlife on June 6, 2022 at 11:13 pm

    I wish there was more full time vanlifers in my area in Pennsylvania …. I wish I had the same outcome from my local police when I started vanlife . Instead they feel the need to harass me by waking me up just to ask what I’m doing then leaving cause I’m legally parked . All started by trying to talk to a few local cops so they knew I was nothing to worry about

  29. jason puchalla on June 6, 2022 at 11:13 pm

    By chance I seen this channel yesterday. And I’m now a fan. Keep it up.

  30. Theresa Zachert on June 6, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    So glad you had a great day. ❀️

  31. Cheryl Goldman on June 6, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    I loved Calgary, when I visited. I stayed in a hotel across from the Needle building and ate dinner in that bldg. The hotel gave us tickets to get in for free.
    Great video and meet up! Take care Chrome and Cruise. Goldie in Jacksonville Florida

    Chrome, sending love from Upstate New York. 🚐❀️😎

  37. ninjabookitty on June 6, 2022 at 11:26 pm

    Another van lifer I follow, Travel Snacks, crossed over into Canada from the PNW earlier this year, and the border officials really kind of put her through the wringer, as they didn’t understand what she was doing or why she was there. So I’m really glad to see you all up there spreading the word and smoothing the way with public officials so they better understand what’s going on. I plan on heading up that way at some point in an SUV no-build build, and I hope I can have a great positive experience like this one. Kisses to Cruzy!! 😍

  38. thomas25082 on June 6, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    Did you bear gifts as well

  39. Sylvia Beam on June 6, 2022 at 11:30 pm

    You really need to teach that dog some manners or get him fixed. Your dog is getting to embarrassing
