A LITTLE ABOUT US
Hi! We are from Jacksonville, Fl. We quit our jobs, bought a 30 year old van named Hidalgo and fixed it up. Now we are living full time in the van while we drive around America seeing National Parks and meeting cool people.

Good looking sandwich!
No meat I have meat in every meal
Nice meals.
You need to get a fold-down table I can tell you’re young you can set on the ground LOL I would put the little propane on a little wooden TV tray
Peanut butter Alfredo!!! 😂
Brilliant meals that looked really yummy. Thanks for sharing. BTW Why throw away the trunk of the broccoli! I usually clean it up, peel off the bits and bobs and cut away the woody bits then slice and cook along with the rest of the vegetable. It’s very tasty.
Another tip: when eating flax, it is important to make sure you do drink plenty of liquids (non-alcoholic of course 😆).
Looks great. I’m always hitting thrift stores looking for bowls like you have. Can you tell me more about them? They seem durable. Brand name. Store if possible etc. Thanks.
DELISH.. THANK YOU FOR SHARING
I’ve made that peanut sauce with Thai sweet chili sauce–the kind you can get from a bottle. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Courtney is so pretty!
Beautiful place. I love to learn what vegans eat. I’m converting myself. I hope you add a pay pal account. Of be interested in joining. Thank you for the share!
Looks like she is just mixing a bunch of things together. It doesn’t look like any recipe . Yuk
Tell me where! Although I’m headed south and then Colorado
Good plan propane set up right under gas tank.
HOOK UP A SIMPLE FOLD DOWN TABLE TO THE SECONDARY SIDE DOOR.. PLEASE STOP COOKING ON THE GROUND.. SOMETHING SO SIMPLE COULD BE FASHIONED..
What a Great, Video, your Food looks, Delicious, thank you for sharing, Awesome, love, Diana Lipski 💕
I like plain regular oatmeal none of that crap in it plus I like bacon and eggs yum yum yum and I don’t have to cook on the ground either oh and coffee.
This is my first visit to your channel.
Wow!
I’m really glad to subscribe!
Awesome healthy recipes!
It’s odd that observers think nomads don’t eat well!!
While that may be true for some nomads, their poor diet is not because of their lifestyle, poor diet is their choice, just the same as it would be if they lived in a bricks and sticks home!
Your location is spectacular!
Enjoy your best life!
Wow, that’s some big pieces of onion
May i ask were did yall buy the toster id like one dor my propan stove
Yummy Peanutty Veggie bowl. Love it now as one of my favorites. Even my animal son likes it. He’s 40 and hates my vegan dishes, but this one is a winner no matter what Veggies I add. Thank you. You guys are an inspiration to the next generation of RVers. Keep on aRockin’. I’ll be watching. ❤️ ⭐️ hope you get Mugs or T-shirt’s or stickers soon. I love that stuff even though I can’t physically travel due to health these days.
Hi Courtney from the UK. How on earth does a small person like you put away all that food in one day, i’m totally gobsmacked…lol
I’m getting a van soon and honestly no one really eats this healthy everyday lol I need a realistic or more relatable van dwelling meal video
I reflexively said stop when you poured salt to your meal.
You probably get most of your nutrition (at breakfast)out of the flaxseed. Good for you. You are doing everything right, it seems. Its nice to see travelers who are not living on salty ramen noodles, sausage and white flour gravy. Lol.
Then we eat like a rabbit’s
Does flax seed taste like nuts? Never tried it before.
Best way to loosing losing weight is lives in the van for sure
Not One thing she made I would’ve ate
whats missing with dinner is a thick juicy steak, JK you need more protein eat nuts if yuor vegan . your too skinny it made your bowl big in your hands
I just put brown sugar, cinnamon and banana in my oats. Sometimes I add sunflower butter, or vegan marshmallows
Who’s idea was it to live Nomad in a van the girls or the guy ?
Wow Ima try that chickpea sandwich
How did u come up with it
And with the Apple
Just subscribed , really
Digging your videos . I’m moving in my 4Runner next year out west , kinda nervous but so exited .
I bet a touch of honey in the stir fry would be good too. I also think Chickpea salad sandwiches sound amazing. I am not vegan or vegetarian but we love chickpeas.
you need bacon to.
looks great,im hungry now.
Wow loved it, I am inspired to try this with a car camping holiday….can you please suggest some good spots where I can cook…parks, parking lots?
Good live near river

You use honey?
Yay, I did have the same toaster for our van. I couldn’t live without toasted bread. 🙂 Haha, it is so funny to see how you cut the apple, tomato and the avocado different than I would do… 🙂 Thank you for sharing the Peanut Butter Stir Fry recipe! 😀
boil your water before u add your oats, much better
You can eat all that @14:06?
Thanks for sharing . I’m always looking for more plant based meals to try and these all look so good !
Your knife skills is very impressive. I think you should be a chef dor plantbased meals.
