    Unpretentious and raw, this is how we rock when we are out and about. Two weirdos and a dog cruising around in our (not so) trusty van. Enjoy😂

      Совсем недавно проделал путь на своем т3 в 1500 километров и 20 часов за рулем. Даже такие длинные заезды оставляют приятные ощущения. Прости, что на этот раз пишу по-русски)) Люблю вас и ваш Фургон!)
      У моего фургона также есть имя)) его зовут Дринча. Если примерно перевести на английский, то это имя значит-старый, милый, забавный)

    Haha, oh no, all of our quirky sides coming out here🙈😂 Simon always makes fun of me for not having any rhythm, so whenever we’re playing music he’s looking over to see if I can time the drop🥁🤷🏻‍♀️
    Fun to show you guys some behind the scenes, not all days are super scenic and adventures, although we always try to put something fun in there! ☺️

    We can relate so much to your daily routine on the road. From falling asleep while cooking tacos, to my better half nestled in her sleeping bag on the 2nd floor and losing our minds singing on long driving days. It's weird in a sense. Btw, love this kind of raw, unscripted episode. Well done, guys! See ya 🤙

    Greetings from So. California! Great to see you guys, again, and see what your typical day is like. I can't help but make the conversion and comparison of your fuel price there. That's almost $7.00 per gallon -and I thought $4.33 per gallon was already expensive here (much cheaper in other states).

    Hi I am Mexican and I can pretty tell those are not tacos, First of all those are no tortillas, tortillas aren't hard and in that shape, tacos don't have either cheese or tomato. Tacos are usually prepared with Tortillas de Maiz or Tortillas de Harina, they also have salsa, avocado, and lemon, that's it. No cheese, no tomatoes. 😩
