  • This is a joke, our parents are luckily very supportive of us living our best lives.

  • This was so far the *easiest* day of van life we’ve ever had. So I want to make a HUGE disclaimer that not EVERY day has been like this - but for 2 days here - this was the reality we were living. Not so bad, eh? — ➟ follow @nickandraychel // full-time van life & budget travel Tags: #notluxe #vanlifecouple #vanlifecouples#tinyhome #vanlifers #vanlifevirals #vanlifemovement #vanbuildout #vandwelling #vanlifediaries  #vanlifemovement #vanlifeexplorers #vanbuildout #vanlifedistrict #vanlifeideas #vanlifediaries #vanlifeideas #liveoutdoors #vanlifeliving #vanlife #vanlifecanada #vanlifemexico #torontoblogger #vancouverblogger #baja ++ van life tips, travel tips, van life travel, van life youtube, van life Mexico
  • Since crossing the border into Mexico, we’ve had some of the same questions a few times - so wanted to answer some FAQ here. • BEFORE CROSSING: we made sure we had our passports, $35 USD in cash, some pesos to get us started, and photocopies of all of our important documents. • VEGAN FOOD: we loaded up on vegan favourites in America before crossing the border - including some meat alternative products and tofu. Grocery stores here actually have a lot of amazing vegan alternatives, but they’re a little different than America/Canada. So as we get used to our new go-to meals, we packed some comfort food for the transition period. • SHOWERS/LAUNDRY: so far, we’ve been doing this the same way as we would do van life in Canada/the US. Truck stop showers, beach showers, and paid campground showers are around. Visiting the laundromat is business as usual. • SAFETY: we have felt 10000% safe here in Baja and are taking normal safety precautions that we would in every day van life. In addition to the normal list of things we do, we are travelling in a 5 car convoy and feel very comfortable. Any other questions about van life in Mexico that we missed here / on our stories? Let us know! ➟ follow @nickandraychel // full-time van life & budget travel — Tags: #notluxe #vanlifecouple #vanlifecouples#tinyhome #vanlifers #vanlifevirals #vanlifemovement #vanbuildout #vanlifedistrict #vanlifeideas #vanlifediaries #vanlifeideas #liveoutdoors #vanlifeliving #vanlife #homeiswhereyouparkit #tinyhome #vanlifemexico #mexicotravel #travelmexico #exploremexico

  • Happy birthday to Nick. The man behind the steering wheel, camera, the tiny home builds and the one who stole my heart over five years ago. 🤍 For those who don’t know, Nick and I have been side by side throughout our entire twenties - but not always as a couple. The first 3 years of our bond started as just best friends who liked to talk shit and drink tequila shots. You have no idea how much things have changed since then. After we fell in love, we set out on the most wild adventure together - to move to a country neither of us had ever been to or really knew much about. And the rest was history. The whole ride from friend to best friend to boyfriend to fiancé to husband, Nick has been my rock. My safe place. My home. And the dream would be impossible without him - because doing it by his side IS the dream. Here we go around the sun again! 🎂
  • Vegan van life: what I eat in a day (convoy edition) We are on our way down to Mexico! As the rest of our convoy gets their vans tuned up & ready to hit the road, we’re parked next to our friends @geneandshay Every day is different on the road - some days are really social, some days we all stay in our own vans - and some days are a bit of both. Can’t wait to see how these videos change when we’re in Mexico. Are you ready!? ➟ follow @nickandraychel // full-time van life & budget travel — Tags: #notluxe  #camperlife #camperlifestyle #vanlifeproject #vanlifeculture #tinyhome #tinyliving #vanlifediaries #travelgram #livetoexplore #vanlifeculture #vanlifemeals #veganvanlife #vanlifeconvoy #vanlifecommunity #whatieatinaday #veganwhatieatinaday #wieiad #plantbasedeats
