We’re Danny and Emily, living our version of van life with our cat, Grahama and our dog, Sombrita. We are traveling the Pan-American Highway in our DIY Promaster van. First we drove to Alaska and swam in the Arctic Ocean, and now we've drove all the way to Ushuaia, Argentina! Now, we're heading north!
We’ve been traveling full-time in the van since our wedding over four years ago. Wandering the world together has brought us so many beautiful friendships, adventures and new perspectives.
Join our journey around North and South America and onwards!

WE'RE BACK!! So happy to bring you along shipping the van TOGETHER! Grab the broom and cleaning spray, because the van needs to be perfectly clean for customs' inspection 😜 Can we even squeeze both these full size vans into ONE shipping container? It's an insane week we laid out but getting the van back to the USA will be WORTH IT! What could go wrong? A metal crunch is the worst case scenario ...

We miss you
Hi, I realized today, have not seen a post in a while Wanted to check on you and make sure you are OK. Miss you.
Loved this series
Miss you guys, it’s been two months
How can you visit & enjoy a beautiful place and not show or talk to the beautiful people of Livingston(Labuga)? This video is NOT fully reflective of the truth. I am speaking as a descendant of The Original Owners of the Waterfall you all enjoyed. I Am Garigu who presently resides in the United States.
Hi Guys!! What’s going on with you???? 👍✅😀
We've been wondering the same thing. Hope they're doing well and enjoying life.
Did you know you are practically yelling?
What happened to you guys? My wife and i enjoyed watching all your videos in order as they are uploaded. Did you two quit?
Is she a korat cat iv got korat looks like your cat got to siamese i travel with mine got caravan
Missing y’all! Hope all is well. ♥️🙏🏻
Psalm 37:5: "Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass". Jesus loves you .
What about the rainbow mountains
Ancient place love the views and mountains, AMAZING CUSCO
Pay for premium AAA then you get one for two hundred good luck guys
Casa Bonita is ticket only ATM. Ive been waiting my turn for a very long time. It is now owned by the South Park guys.
Hey Kelly! We're on the wait list. What are you looking forward to trying or seeing the most there? 💜
@@the.vandersons I worked there for 3 years in HS and college, so I just want to see a place that holds so many good memories.
Hey guys! I didn’t catch the name of the place you stopped for water to fill up your can. Always looking for good water for a good price 👍
Winter driving is never much fun..great video guys...viv
Hey! *Totally agree* 💜🥰 So cozy in the van though. Thanks for being part of our journey!
I'm loving seeing all your videos again. You both look like you've had a good break away from travelling and Emily you look really healthy again, and so confident making videos whilst driving in dodge conditions. Looking forward to the next adventure!
How’s the van running?
Nice video, enjoying your journey, you both are such good fury parents.😎
Hey Isabel! *Thank you so much* for the kind words! 🥰 💜
So fun to watch you two on the road again, although it's strange to see the snow when it was 88 degrees today in WA State. Looking forward to your skiing adventures!
Hey Penny! Vids are a bit behind, but honestly, I miss skiing so much I'm loving it. Frosty fun coming up! 🥰💜 We hope spring is treating you well!
Thanks for another *awesome* update!! Sombrita & Graham, always adorable! Stay safe and hope you get some great skiing in. Cheers!...from North Vancouver
Hey there, Adrian! *Thank you so much* for the lovely comment! 🥰
What happened to your van in the last episode?
Hey Johnny! fuel injectors!
Just came back Florida from Calgary we had super low temps down to -29 for 6 weeks cats were not happy.
@EarthRoamingAdventures Oh wow, -29 sounds like quite the chilly adventure! 💜
When did you film this? I'm surprised at the snow -- in mid-May??
Hey Diana! Vids are a couple months behind real life right now. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more unexpected moments! 💜🥰
Sombrita loves the snow ❄️. ❤ I'm in Michigan. We had a very mild winter this year. Hardly any snow and temps started warming in February. It's crazy time anymore with the weather. The only thing you can expect is changes. 😂 All the flowers and trees have bloomed at least a month early. Thanks for the update. Safe travels ❤
So Cool. The drive through Kansas reminded me when I went to Great Bend Kansas. I was replacing a manager for two weeks. Those were the two longest weeks of my life. The city was only slightly bigger than the dollar store one you guys drove through. But the people were super nice and made the stay a good one. Denver is great. Loved the video.
Hey Dan! *So glad* you enjoyed the Kansas drive-through! Hahaha 💜🥰
Welcome to Colorado!
Nice Quark jacket! You gonna make it to California?
Hope so! I want to get the mural touched up and expanded hopefully 😁
Good call. Yes, changing all those parts at the same time is the best decision ! Glad you found somewhere to get you in quickly and that you were safe!
Wait… you had to go back?
Even on a breakdown day - I enjoy watching you two and your adventures♥
Looks like the mechanic was the genuine article. You've had a good run for your money with the injectors.....maybe improved fuel consumption. Having your own loo.......so important! As you know I had one on the RTW MAN truck - makes life so easy. Happy travels. xx
Cheers Rob!
Not that you have another manufacturer's fan to compare to, but what are your general thoughts on your Van's reliability? Would you pick the same van again for all your travels? Best of luck to you!
You were at Promasters only last summer a week after we were preparing our van for South America. We had to replace the bushings bearings and brakes in Panama ( thank you Servicios Carlos for the Renault parts….) and now our fancy Dorman oil cooler has started leaking in Cali. We can still tour while we wait for a new one. Why Kip didn’t replace your plugs and so forth with your high mileage only he knows. I pray he replaced my coils when he did my plugs last summer but I doubt it. At least here we get right into the shop and Colombia is lovely.
Indeed! Colombia has so much variety, mountains, friendly people, and it’s super CHEAP 🤩 Oh man I hope you can get the engine fixed up good before the high elevations ahead! What an adventure. Enjoy!!
I’m glad you were able to get all those repairs done before heading out to your new adventures.
You guys have such a positive attitude and good energy, that, even with these challenges, folks enjoy helping you. 😊
Sorry you had engine trouble but glad it all came out ok. You two are always so positive, at least on camera.
Definitely not cheap, but that's just what has to be done after that kinda mileage -- Spark plugs that are past their time can start to do real damage to modern engines, so glad you're on that as well as the coils and yes, it likely will run much better and smoother -- might even be less thirsty with the new injectors. Just a tip -- if you use Chevron gas, the Techron they add is a very good fuel system cleaner -- I personally try to use that exclusively, hoping to keep my fuel pump alive longer. Nice to see Sombrita and Graham being so well behaved all the time -- couple lil angels. Happy Travels! Cheers!...from North Vancouver
I sooo enjoy riding along with you. Thanks!
You had to go to the mechanic again after all that work????? Yikes! Highlight of this one: “all 3 of you have the same expression.” 😂 Glad you’re back on the road headed for some fun in the snow. Hope the rest of the trip was safe. ✌️❤️🚐
What an adventure. Nice video
I just want to see you guys on the road doing the things that make you happy. I’m already on your Patreon, but maybe start adding exclusive content, more up to date travel info etc. and that will increase your Patreon support to help pay for maintenance and gas
Glad to see you could get it resolved.
Oh , I tried that coffee drink , I throw up 🤮
I always look forward for your videos ❤
Love your videos!!!!! You’re always so positive!
