Who are we? 💁🏼♀️
We're Tom and Iz, who live and travel in our van La Bamba. We love nature and are currently traveling in Norway!!
You might find Tom in the forest IDing a mushroom, fixing something or starting an ambitious project with his laid-back relaxed approach whereas you could find Isabel cooking up a storm, sunning herself on a beach and being a busy, energetic bee with her endless enthusiasm and positivity! We are total opposites but it works!
How did we end up here?! 😁 ⏮
We met 10 years ago when we were both finishing our A-levels and had a whirlwind summer romance, hitch-hiking around France together before before going our separate ways to travel and to university. We've both always prioritised travel and adventure and have worked hard over the years in hospitality jobs to enable us to keep exploring.
Tom hitch-hiked across Europe and road tripped around Australia whilst Iz studied Environmental Science at York. Iz backpacked around South America with her sister whilst Tom studied Forestry at Aberdeen University. Little did we know we just weren't going to get each other out of our minds! Fast forward 4 years later, we found ourselves in campsite warden jobs, living in a bell tent in a wild flower meadow together! Maybe without realising this was the start of our van life journey!
Next, we both trained to be science teachers and during training, we bought a van, ripped out it's interior and converted it to live in it. Iz managed to get a remote work-from-home job that she could do from the van and Tom was passionate about starting up a TH-cam channel.
Since then we haven't looked back and when the pandemic allowed us to, we travelled to Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and around Cornwall. We are now on a big European road trip! We are giving it our best shot to do TH-cam full time. We have a dream of one day owning a little plot of land and building ourselves a cabin in the woods. If you're new around here you can check out our previous videos; we've been uploading weekly videos for the last 9 months and are currently releasing DAILY VIDEOS.
Our message on our channel is to inspire others to do what they love as life is too short! We love living simply, freely with less stuff but more time!

Iz and Tom :)
The aerial footage today is amazing, and Tom's one handed catch of the returning drone was really cool! :) It's a bit sad to think your journey is nearing its end. I'm going to miss the daily vlogs but appreciate how much time and work they are for you. Thank you for all the great images, commentary and hilarious antics along the way!
Norway is stunning! I’m so impressed with the fact that they encourage travelers with all the facilities available. Those toilets and boardwalks are incredible and a reason to visit in themselves!! And your drone footage on this episode was especially stunning!
Finland is known as the land of a thousand lakes with a staggering 188,000 lakes . its amazing .
Fun fact: In Norway there are 450,000 lakes.
Yet Norway has many more! Unfair.
Interesting. Senja means "time during sunset" in my mother tongue. I am so glad to see how you close the windows! Mine is the same 🥰😂🥳
Glad that you got a great hike in.
Norway needs about a full month but THANK YOU, for sharing.
I won’t lie sone of those shots at top of the mountains was making me feel a little queasy! Fair play sitting right at the top. Sad to think this adventure is now not far from the end. Will really miss the daily vlogs but you guys are no doubt in need a break too
The price tag of that golden toilet was 3,75 million nok when it was new in 2014 😅 Also, that bird that was out for your drone is called Tjeld in Norwegian, and they are normally not that aggressive 🙈
Yes that was really cool Tom to catch the drone with one hand out of the window.
Fantastic vlogs. Better and better each day. This TH-cam community is impressed and growing…….
Thank you!
I enjoyed your daily vlogs in Norway. You did a great job showing us the beauty of nature, especially with all your drone shots 👍. Have a safe journey 🙏
I get chills when looking at those cliff drops, great hike though, well done, and Norway has been great.
Consider going to treriksgrensa from kilpisjarvi, strait after the Norwegian - Finish border. Treriksgrensa is the meeting point of the Norwegian, Finish and Swedish border and it is a cool hike!
Also, I like the down-to-earth and genuine tone of the videos. Keep up the good work!
Senja is stunning I have seen lots of videos of this place in the snow and perfect sunshine, but this day you went with the clouds and hardly any wind, was perfect! I will return to Norway and hike and wild camp on this Island and Lofoten! I just need 80 Shengen days in Norway 5 days to drive there and 5 days back,
Those shots of the cliff edge were AMAZING I was sitting on the edge of my seat in case either of you fell, the shots were so dynamic, unreal. You should go into film making you are good enough, real talent...Take care see you tomorrow...Rosemary in Belfast....xx
Wow! That hike was incredible and the drone shots were fantastic. So pleased you showed us that peak. Magic 😊
I enjoyed that. And you're right, you never come back from a hike in a mood.
Outstanding episode..... Filming and video production absolutely spot on - Thank you both.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it
That was probably the best cat walk I have ever seen 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spent today catching up on the journey from France, loved it all. Such an insanely beautiful country. Can’t wait to be in Tromsø next month.
Welcome from up here in Norway. Fair warning: I am sending my aunt down to visit you tomorrow. But then, your Riviera is already slightly bonkers, so the 70 year old lady will fit in 👍. You will do excellent in Tromsø.
Quite a spontaneous trip through & around Norway .... thank you for sharing & including us, your viewers !!!
Great video thanks guys. Safe onward travels.
Some of the best aerial footage I've seen and great editing, you both are managing to capture the character and beauty of all the places you go and even though it's hard at times, I can see how much you're both still enjoying yourselves. It was nice to see you holding hands, what a nice couple you make. All the best for your next traveling adventure.
Excellent climb video, and so well described.. happy energetic couple, love the dramatic video..
I’m so feckin’ jealous of you two. The daily VLOGS are fantastic. Keep it up. 🇮🇪
Catwalk sass 😂 ... AND then that drive to the dead end 🤦🏻♂️ ... the same thing happened to us years ago in when we were in Dunoon, and the 40minute ferry to Gourock was cancelled, so we had to do a 2.5 hour drive 😖
Anyway... You both look really rested after your mini-hibernation! 👍 and that hike was spectacular 👏👏👏
Congrats, you made it, your hike. Beside covered in gold, the sign, for women and men, how thy created it was interesting. Have a nice pleasant trip to Estonia.
Stunning!!! It’s all I can say, well done reaching the summit. I’ve loved catching up with you every day but I do understand how much work it it. Well done both 10/10👍👍🍷🍷Mike
Awesome & Fantastic views after the roadblock. Great hiking views👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fabulous footage yet again. The energy and freshness you both put into each of your daily or weekly Vlogs is so uplifting..👏 Really hope when you've reached Estonia for the occasion that you might just double back on Finland and Sweden to complete your take on the Scandinavian experience in La Bamba.?🙏 Really enjoyed your shots Tom at 2.32 to 2.37.. Stay safe....🚐👏👏☘
Thanks Jj always so nice to see your comment pop up. Thanks for the continued support. We are still en route to the wedding, I think the video delay is only about 3-4 days, so still in Finland at the moment
Fantastic scenery very high cliffs seems a bit too scary for me despite me loving to climb
They were crazy tall. We didn’t realise it would be quite like that till we peered over the edge
A tip for Finland: On the road Muonio - Kittilä - Rovaniemi - Kemi there is much more to see than on quite boring road Muonio - Tornio - Kemi which follows the Tornionjoki river. Also more places for "wild" camping. Cheers, Harri from Finland.
Epic views great hike 👍🙏
Loving this series guys, your hard work in making these vlogs is really appreciated
Story telling, production and drone footage is excellent.
Hi, greatest trip through Norway. Someone's comment that you can drive down Finland in one go 'cos it's so boring- endless forest- made me laugh. Thanks for such an enjoyable view of Norway. Love your videos. Take care and stay safe xx
Great Norwegian saga! Thank you for everything. Amazing footage!
I just love you guys, you are so personable and with such interesting videos.
Loving these daily vlogs guys. Thanks for putting in so much hard work.
Great vid guys. Superb footage of you walk. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you for taking us with you to these amazing places.
You two are all loved up!❤️❤️
Really charming video, amazing footage and funny. You're doing it really well. Well done both.
We are heading to Norway for camping this weekend, thanks so much for all of your content and insights , we are even more excited and also ready for the shock of going into a supermarket 😂 safe onwards travels!
Hi Guys . wonderful views well worth the trek , looking forward to seeing Finland . enjoy .
Good drone shots, worth the two hour drive 👏🏼
Loving the daily blogs you do you cram so much into ten minutes they are brilliant take care guys x
Amazing footage, thank you for sharing your amazing adventure.
Welcome to Finland. If you had come down to Karigasniemi and not The Kilpisjärvi I would make some dinner to you. It was nice to see your trip to lofoten because me and my sister and our 4 dogs are going to the lofoten in next month. But anyway enjoy the flat Finland 🇫🇮
The image quality from the M50 is fantastic.😲👍😊
Nice drone catch and footage.
What a beautiful area.
👍
Fabulous video yet again guys…..👏👏👏
Great review.
Outstanding view's guy's you two are amazing and always cheer me up. ❤
Love it. Your vlogs are amazing. Feel like I’m there with you guys . But take the odd day off as long as you keep a few 😃 days as I’d miss yous . Xx
Thank you for all your efforts and hard work you’ve put into all your wonderful videos. Well done, and welcome back to Norway :-)
Just insane how beautiful it is there, Going to miss the daily vlogs though :P but i totally understand it.
I come from Norway and live in the south and never been to lofoten islands. Its a shame, since I also love landscape photography. But your vidoes inspires me to just take my car and drive to the north. BUT, the gass prices here in Norway are crazy now and how do you guys cope with that? I guess that van isent the most fuel economic car out there either!? Cheers
It is very expensive, I think 40% of our whole budget was fuel!
We manage because we don’t have rent or bills so can afford to spend a bit more on diesel. Well worth it though, I would recommend the trip so much!
In my language, "Senja", spelled exactly the same, means a period of the day between afternoon and evening.
That gave me vertigo!
I feel you are planning to drive south through Finland from Skibotn, roads are often much better in Finland than here in Sweden, as a tip. How the fuelprice differs, I really don't know at the moment.
Good luck 🤞 on your next journey 🏆🚐
You guys really should visit Åndalsnes and Geiranger!✨ I’m from a place near by, and the nature is stunning there.
Beautiful
Isn't this Aurora's back yard? The singer.
After Estonia, go to Switzerland!
Thanks
Hello bill!
I have only just found out how to find “super thanks”.
Honestly thank you so much, this is so kind of you. Sorry it has talent me so long to reply. We do really appreciate it, it’s just I don’t know how to use technology
Omg I’m from Harstad!! Not far from you guys😍😍
Was nearly sick when you put the camera over the edge though! So high up!!!
Awesome videos! What netsites or app do you use for finding wild camp sites?
park4night
Gigantesque
You guys doing Nordkapp and Finnmark?
What is that "park app" you're using?
At least it sounded like you said park..
You always find nice spots to park.
Park4night
Will follow some more. Are they all filmed on a Go-Pro? What a risk sending the drone over the cliff. My brother flew his DJI out over the water and it decided to land! What video editing software are you using! I just download to Sony PlayMemories and joined all the clips and maybe delete the odd boob cam or crutch cam… when one of us forgets to hit the stop record..
Hey bill,
We have actually lost two drones while making the vlogs, so there is some risk. One time was strong winds and the other was racing around and crashing into a wall. We do use a GoPro but mostly for when we are getting into water. We are mostly using a canon m50 these days though and I use Final Cut Pro for editing. Hope that all helps
I'd be nervous using that toilet with the drone flying around lol
Haha, had to be careful not to fly it when other people were waiting to use it. Was scared I would be arrested or something
Total bargain for all the beauty of Norway.
👌🏻👍
She is such a Drama Queen Catwalk & More she get upto. All good Fun
🚐💨🇳🇴❤
You're an adorable couple. Is this a play for the gallery or are you actually comfortable living on top of each other around the clock? Does it happen that you go on each one's path to ease up on irritation and frustration?
Once the cameras are off it’s all swearing and shouting, haha (only joking). We actually don’t mind being in each other’s company all the time, you just need to make sure you get your own mental space, let each other read a book or watch a film with headphones in ext
If its not too "nosy" how do you guys afford van life?
A friend of mine started his vanlife 1 year ago, he has spent around 40k USD.. Ofc some unexpected costs to the van and extra thing to see stuff.. I mean tourist stuff costs money hehe.
He can do it cause he gets some from doing stuff on fiverr and actually transport things for others on his hanger. But yhe. How do you guys make it? TH-cam / sponsorships only or how is it.
Me and my GF wants to do vanlife for 1-2 years now. ( Maybe more who knows) But we got only 30k saved up. We do have the Van, but yhe
Thanks for any answer even though if you dont want to answer it directly
I think it’s actually cheaper than living in a house. We don’t pay rent or bills. Obviously it can be very expensive if you travel quickly and do lots of touristy things (or go to Norway). Our only income at the moment is from TH-cam, that could be from the ads you see at the start of the videos (although this isn’t that much) and also sponsored videos, we also have buy me a coffee where people can send us a coffee if they like which has been really helpful. While we were in Ireland Isabel was working online from the van as well which is another option. You can really make it as expensive or cheap as you like
4:25 yeah seabirds in norway can be hasardous to your flying stuff.. once flew a regular rc plane around and got allmost dived into the ground... ohyeah.. be really careful about flying in national parks.. the state went after the states own channel for flying in one.. "disturbing the wildlife" i dare not fly in norway anymore
The birds are nesting - that's why they attac!
Awesome views yet again, and was that the first time we’ve seen you two hold hands in a vlog ? 🥰🚐
Haha, i find a lot of vloggers who are very lovey dovey a bit cringey because I know they have set the camera up first, but I’m a big Scrooge and Isabel has managed to get some public displays of affection out of me, haha
@@LostInTransit like a true Cornishman, keeps his affections well hidden .
@@LostInTransit 'lovey dovey' for the camera is cringey, you two really care 💕
