Sometimes you just have a regular day. Van life is not always full of awesome excitement. Vlog of my day today. I started VAN LIFE because i was tired of the day to day routine of doing the same thing, same job, same drive to work, same mornings, same nights...everything was the same day after day. Van Life has been just an awesome experience since day one. This not full time for me. I am in this for the long haul. I Love Van life. Its been the best choice i have ever made. I started Van life with my English bulldog names Disco. He is my hommie and my heater lol. I Built my van simple to show everyone that you can start Van Life with just the basics and build your van as you go. That you don't need a big fancy build to get started. VAN LIFE is closer then you think. just grab the basics you need and get started. You will figure out what you need after you are in the van. I dont have solar or battery banks, a sink or an electric fridge. I didnt need that stuff to get started. I am sure in the future at some point when i feel the need for those things i will get them. But so far i have everything i need without all the fuss and stress of Solar panel, deep cycle batteries, and a full van build. One day maybe but right now i feel at home in my van with everything i need.
All right, there we go. Good morning weirdos today. I thought we would do something completely different
I'm just gonna vlog the whole day. We're gonna go and do what I do all day long on an average day
I would guess I mean, obviously, you know do the same thing every day
But you know, I'm gonna show you the van life is not always glamorous
Freaking doors locked. My key doesn't work in the back door
Back door the vans got a messed up lock
So many pairs of Converse
So much troubles I
Had this been in the back of the van full of Converse shoes knows a lot of it
I wasn't wearing so I brought the case here
So I'm just gonna switch around some of the colors because you never know when you need a pink pair
and like, you know if I was American I could be wearing the red white and blue but I
Don't know what I'm doing
You
Wow, you think maybe I have just a little bit of a Converse addiction now to choose which ones to put in the van
Turns out that I'm like ripping everything out of there and going through it
I didn't keep a lot of stuff when I got rid of my condo. I pretty much purged everything
I have one extra bin here of like some sweaters. I'm actually gonna take this one with me
But some sweaters some clothes
Some summer stuff like shorts and stuff, which I probably won't need for a little while
And that's really about it. This other one here has some mountain biking stuff like my backpack
Oh, yeah, and all the goodies
some tequila
Because you can never have enough tequila and that's really about it
For stuff left from the house except for my favorite picture which is up there it's hard to see but let's go check it out
It's probably a little hard to see but it's super rad
It's a chick wearing a pair of headphones and it's like I don't know four feet wide super cool picture
If you're wondering what else is in my locker
It's pretty much just all sound and lighting gear for my DJ stuff. The only last thing I kept for my condo
It's hard to see but is my coffee pot
Yeah, I couldn't get rid of it because I just love it. I wrapped it in stickers and it's just cool as hell
When I first started van life, there was definitely a lot more stuff in this locker like it was pretty full
But as time went on, you know being in the van, I started to realize this is it for me
So I started to purge some of the stuff in there that I just didn't need like I gave away some boxes of clothes
you know because once you start minimalizing everything in your life, you start realizing that you don't even need a
Quarter of the stuff that you own now and that's the damn truth. We accumulate so much miscellaneous junk that
Fills something inside of us when we buy it, but we really don't need any of it
Like I had clothing and I purged when I moved out of the condo
I clothing in there that I thought for damn sure I needed no
Donated had some shoes in there that were a bit older. I'm like, oh, I love these shoes. Yeah, they're still in good shape
So I donated
now I'm pretty much left with just what I need for business and that's about it a
couple of cases for some stuff for summer
Mountain biking gear I
minimalized everything
That's my baby
Now I'm all ready to DJ tomorrow
This guy hi, buddy, are you sleeping? Yeah, it's my boy. It's my boy
All right, buddy. Move over. You gotta move over buddy. Hey get move over
You guys ready for this
I'm about to show you what happens inside of a van overnight. I cleaned this van fully out yesterday
Sometimes this part of the day just sucks
This is insanity and
Every single day, especially when you're out like we were yesterday. It was pretty dirty and gross
This kind of stuff and it's all over the inside probably mostly because of this guy
But the reality is cleaning the van
never stops
Are you guys still watching are you still here?
See van life is not always glamorous
You got to clean the house and you seen what it looked like just overnight. I
Do this pretty much every day
If you're wondering what I'm using for cleaning stuff just water for the most part
I just do a little quick wipe down with water
I don't always vacuum the van that is very occasional, but I do like to vacuum it the little broom
I use is great for getting most of it out
But sometimes because you've got a dog the vacuum gets in all the little crevices
Including down underneath the sides of the bed where you just can't get in there with a rag and it's nice just to get
Half a discos body hair the hell out of here if you travel with a dog or an animal
Get used to it. I
Stopped and grabbed myself a coffee because McDonald's right now has $1 any size coffees
I don't know how long it's on for I think like another couple weeks or so pretty pumped about this
I'm gonna work on some finances
Though all these bills are getting just crazy
I can't wait for this lifestyle to get me the hell out of my financial issue
See this day is not overly exciting. No is it I got to do some work
This guy could seriously use a nap right now
I just spent the better part of the last hour going through some financial stuff in
Just chaos
Sun's out though. Do you see that look it look it look it?
So while the Sun's out, let's go take the pup for a walk a disco and go for a walk
Anybody will go for a walk
All right, let's go enjoy the sunshine
You
The sunshine came out so we came out to play and in true disco fashion
That's it
We didn't make it very far today, but he's so cute
This is the salad I make the most at least once a day and normally it's just like mixed leaf and greens
But today it's just spinach
cucumber soy nuts
Cranberries dried cranberries so good and the best part is the sesame ginger sauce so damn good
You
Well now, you know that van life isn't always about crazy adventures
It's not always full of excitement, you know sure maybe on these videos
We always obviously capture the best parts of our day
But some days you just have a regular day it's life it's not always gonna be crazy
Van life has given me some amazing up days. It has never given me a down day
it's either been this kind of awesome or this kind of awesome I
Couldn't ask for a better life. I love every piece of this
We're gonna wrap this video up. But before I go, I just want to show you something
That's my house
I'm in the same town that I lived in before I moved into that house. Let me show you where I used to live
That was my old house. I lived in when we make sure I point the right one here this one here
The one that's the shorter one. It's kind of tucked in behind. I lived in that one there on the 28th floor
It had some incredible views some beautiful freaking scenery. The sunsets were just
Unbelievable but
None of that compares to what that view has given me every single day wherever I want to go
Whatever I want to do that thing has given me the best views of my life so far
No regrets at all
Thanks for hanging out with us today
And if you made it this far in the video high five to you for making it this far in a boring day video
You know life is what you make it I had an amazing day today, even though it wasn't anything great
I could have got on film for you that I would have enjoyed editing
Sometimes it's just good to bring you into my life and show you that we're all boring sometimes
Anyway, I am gonna go find a nice place to sleep curl up with a puppy and watch a movie and enjoy the rest
Of my evening
Thanks for being here guys, I love you
Stay positive and always be beautiful and please weirdos stand up and support each other and never stop being weird until the next one
