    OUR STORY
    We're Meghan & Matt, two travelers from the United States on a journey to travel 1,000,000 miles! For 2 years, we lived in our self converted van and traveled all over North America! During this time, we caught the travel bug, HARD. So we set a goal to travel one million miles! Now, we’re hiking, biking, driving, flying and even training around the world to discover as much as possible! Recently, we sold our van and packed up our lives into bags and boarded a one way flight to Europe, leaving behind no house, no car and not even a house/car. Now we are embarking on our toughest project yet, renovating a 1973 Airstream!

    Nothing to me beats two young vibrant smart people tackling and saving a vintage Airstream. 1973, the best year. Oh, its also the year I graduated from high school. LOL I subscribed and will keep following. Keep up the great work.

    Grasshoppers look cool. Until 20 million of them swarm in on the garden. 😊 The good thing is they don’t eat aluminum. 😁

    really great video... I'm wondering why not start outside while the weather is with you. Then move inside?

      @Meghanandmatt  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks Steve! We have to start with the inside first to be able to get to the outside. It will all make sense in a few episodes 😎

    Hi guys. Enjoying your videos. We’ve had an 1962 Airstream Bambi in the yard for over twenty years waiting to remove the upper shell so we can repair the trailer and replace the floor. Can you spell procrastination? I really think you will motivate us to get going! ( Ok, in our defense we have renovated two houses and built a third, but seriously, no more excuses!!)

    • @tracker5849
      @tracker5849 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Meghanandmatt my curiosity was because we lived in a OLD UGLY 1973 until 2021. My son towed it away..parked it in the woods. Said he wanted to fix it...but sold it instead....probably for junk..lol. it was awful!!!!! Anyway....THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING. Be safe and good luck
