Traveling with modern nomads 🚐 🌊 🌴

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2024
- I made a documentary about the friends I made while traveling the California coast who live out of vans and cars. For the last 2 years i've made short content for tik tok and instagram so this was my first long form project. For a month I locked myself in a room at my friend Megans motel and spent over 120 hours trying to figure it out. I've been wanting to create with more depth and hope this makes you feel like you were there with us and a little more about these amazing cinematic creators you probably see all over your social media.
➳My Patreon:
I want it to be as easy for you to go on your own adventure so I created a few different maps with all the places i've parked/camped for free, my favorite nature spots, restaurants and more. And it helps support the 2 years of time and gas I've spent exploring to find those spots.

➳The Discord:
Finding friends on the road and being able to have this caravan experience has been one of the most special times in my life and I want others to have that same feeling if they have also dreamed of it. So a while back I made a discord that now has over 5,000 members with people from all around the world. The goal is to connecting others looking for travel buddies whether you are full time nomadic or just doing a weekend trip.

➳Sponsor: Jackery has truly been a dream sponsor and i'm so happy to have their help with this project in bringing it to life. Keeping power and having electricity on the road is a huge thing to consider so if you do decide to use their products to solve that issue I will love you forever if you use my link. And in honor of earth month they also have discounted all of their solar set ups.

I hope this can at least inspire you to convince your friends to throw some blankets in your car and go on an adventure even if it’s just for a weekend. Or the confidence to go by yourself and know you might meet some friends along the way. The sights I’ve seen and memories I’ve made are what my childhood self always wanted. Going beyond the face value of living in a car the biggest lesson I’ve learned is just how to go after the things you want and be the person you want to be without worry of how society and the people around you feel about it.
This entire thing was shot on an iPhone (minus the dad cam footage) and I started with a 1500 car. If this is something you wanted to recreate it’s easily doable.
This year a goal is to get into more long form projects. I’ve launched a Patreon with maps to all of the overnight parking, campsites and nature spots I’ve found for your own adventures, and it helps me stay on the road and share these stories and one day upgrade the equipment I have access to.
Thanks for watching!
Can you make a video abt everything you need to know abt vanlife
Thanks for posting! Blessings dear one🌱
Heyy Kyle,
My name is Jana and i'm from Germany - thanks of you and your inspiring storys i bought a camper van for travellin europe this summer. Always wanted to travel but i needed a little push and you and your people gave me the last i needed.
Stay the way you are and thanks for everything 🌈🫶🏾😋
Heyyy 🙋🏽♀️ you (all) sound amaaazingg ... Keep living your best life inspiring yourself and other 💃🏼💜
Hope I meet you and the gang one day 💯 I live in my van solo and a group like this is all I’m missing in life at 24
this is literally THE bucket list activity for me. All I want is to go on a road trip with a bunch of photographer friends for like a month and see as many beautiful places as we can
me too!
Most authentic, raw and vulnerable vanlife video ever made. Your creativity is a gift. So grateful to witness it 🔥
Thanks for watching 🙏
That part
@@KyleGoesOffseriously, this video is a classic of a genre that ran through the '50s, '60s & '70s (basically from WW2 till Neoliberalism). The joy & freedom expressed is a delight ❤
facts.
These kind of videos have inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and see the world. I feel like humans get stuck in a cycle of going to school and then working their lives away until they die to afford materialistic things and stay home all the time. I want to live my life free with a lot of gratitude and full of memories. Thank you for touching me with this video! I currently have $5000 in savings for a van. I can’t wait to hit the road
My van was 7000 and I started with a 1500 car so it doesn’t take much! Excited for your journey outside of your comfort zone and your growth
Wishing you all the best, don't ever give up on your dream ❤
How did u get to 5000 dollars if you dont mind me asking, i wanna save up aswell😂
At age 65 it’s good to see individuals following their heart and not being intimidated into leading a fake life that doesn’t serve your mind, body and spirit ✨Power to the People ✨ that choose to live a pure, authentic life! Nicely done!!
🌱☮️🕊️🌎🕊️☮️🌿
as someone whose never had friends, this video makes me nostalgic for a friendgroup i never had
I don’t think what I’m going to say will get the recognition I’ll expect it to reach but that won’t stop me. I’ve always loved van-life videos and always dreamed of the thought of traveling and stuff so I clicked on this video and it made me feel a whole different feeling of how I usually feel watching other van life videos. This is absolutely eye opening and beautiful; this made me feel like that dream I have, is possible.
I watched this during school and when the video finished, I looked up and realized, this isn’t all there is in the world. This will change.
I’ll change.
Thank you
Incredibly happy to hear this because that’s exactly what I hoped people would see.
See you on the road! Let’s make these dreams a reality
This is how you’re supposed to live when you’re this young
Doesn't matter how old you are, just do it if you want! 💪🏼 #NoExcuses #JustDoIt
this was like watching a movie i didnt want to end
I can honestly say that watching these videos have been both an inspiration and justification to the life I live. Living the dream and having that dream become great memories is an important part of having a happy life. Even though I'm 58 years old with three adult sons and seven grandchildren, I never grew up and I don't plan to either. Two of those grandchildren are in college currently starting to live the life that they have always dreamed of. I live near the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and spend most of my free time hiking on those very mountains. I live a life that most people only dream of and even at my age, I have never been happier than I am at this point in my life. I guess that once a person reaches their fifties they begin to realize that they have more years behind them than ahead. It kinda makes you appreciate each day of life more and try to live it to the fullest. Thanks for your continuing inspiration Kyle. Peace
Wow this was beautiful. So happy for you and gives me hope to find the same or maintain it 🙏
This literally made me cry. One-day I'll be this way, living freely. It's so nice, so reassuring to see others think this way too. I'm not weird, I'm not a bum, I'm just aching to be truly free and at peace
Something I really like about you is you have a lot of natural b roll. And it’s not over exaggerated or really edited. It really makes it feel like you could be there. It feels like I could be doing this too. And showing that if I really have this dream, It can come true. It doesn’t have to stay a dream. That’s something that your videos have shown me. I just started living out of my car because I see that it’s possible.
Ugh I love this so much and am so glad to hear you’re making dreams come true !
Dude this brings me back to my early 20's carefree vibes. Traveling all over North America in a RV, living simply and free! It seems like during that period of life there's a certain naive way to see the world and there's still so many new things to experience and places to discover. Those experiences and memories make me who I am today. Now I'm 36 so I see the world a little differently and have other objectives but I'm still more free than most people my age, living debt free in a small house that I built myself on a piece of land with my girlfriend and dog and I even still have a truck camper to go on trips and still kind of feel that free bum life! Your video is a masterpiece, I can relate so much. Enjoy every minute of those moments before your friends start getting boring hahaha!
Damn man I want to do that ? How can I afford that traveling Van lifestyle and how do I meet the friend group. Hope you answer
This was absolutely beautiful to watch. So cool to see good people living their dreams out and creating truly valuable memories. 😊
Thank you so much!
That’s it, I’m taking the leap.
Did u?
First longform video, I can't wait
Yea the first, They’ll get better!
@@KyleGoesOffso happy to hear this might mean there will be more like this? 🥹
@@lelamarie6724plan on it!
This is my first time coming across your channel and man, this is the first time that I've actually felt the energetic exchange of what true freedom feels/looks like. 🥹 this is such a genuine and wholesome video that brought so much clarity to what my spirit truly defines freedom in this world to be. Thank you for sharing this gift and I hope that one day I will where these shoes ✨️🤍🙏🏽
Stunning video. Great cinematography and everyone has a story to tell. Immaculate vibes, 10/10 underrated video (even though it just came out)
Thanks a ton! I’m not expecting it to do super well since it’s my first but I’m glad you made it to the premier
America just has a free spirit that inspires nomads i swear
The paper animation of her walking up to the van has me rolling 😂 i need to suit up my car for one of these trips this is such a great vid! Yall rock!
Haha glad you liked my janky animations
whenever i ride bus to school hating the same repeatable cycle of my life there's always a vision that pops up in my head about the things i should have been living it's great to see a video that captures that kind of life i wanted
If a group of us Gen Xers rolled up in a small town as we traveled in the 80’s, everyone would have pulled up shop and ran us out of town. So jealous of kids today living the van life and seeing the world!!!
I hope one day soon I can create connections and memories like this. This documentary feels like a dream. And I hope I'll get as good as you are at articulating my thoughts and expressing ideas with others in a beautiful, creative way. Thank you for being you!
First vanlife video to hit me in the feels since Natalie's borderless ended, you guys will see me out there eventually, just gotta get my money up
The definition on 'The best things in life are free.'
This moment in their lives in a true gift. For it all to line up in this specific moment in time to form a little band of travelers that love and laugh and explore together is wildly magical. So lucky
I think im in love with this video, I’ve rewatched it 5 times already
No way! 🥹🥹🥹🥹
This is amazing, the connections with all your friends and all the adventures you make on the way 🌲🌲🌲🌲
This was amazing to watch.
I can't wait for more of these long types of videos!!!
sometimes you just gotta live life as it comes to you. I appreciate this funky group. maybe ill meet some fun folk when I head west for the summer. absurdism
Absurdism at its finest 👨🍳 💋
I think I smiled the whole time while playing this video, thank you for introducing us these amazing people
😃
There’s such a beautiful energy and contentedness held precious in your hands throughout the making of this video. You guys were loving every second of it and so was I, thank you for sharing ❤
You are so kind thanks for watching
Such an amazing video Kyle! Captivated throughout the entire time and what a great experience, thank you for taking us along for the ride!
Amazing documentary Kyle. What an cool and unique friend group, thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks for joining ❤
I’ve been having a hard time mentally lately and watching this video made me rethink and remember what my real goals and dreams are. This is exactly what I want to do, I want to find the right people and see new things. I want to be able to tell these stories. So, thank you. This was eye opening.
right now im 14, this life has been my goal for as long as i can remember. I am a climber so of course i have so many connections to people who live like this. But being so young i still have so many roads i can take and the options feel endless. I know this is the life i want, yet it feels so wrong to want. Thank you for making this I genuinely appreciate the creativity it took, as well as time. This really helped me gain clarity on how much i want this to be my end goal.
This was amazingly put together props to you and your friends for creating something special
Kyle thanks for the video it’s so so so so good I love it ❤️ thanks man
my heart is so full after watching this!
What you and your friends are doing is very inspiring. Keep doing your thing, it's definitely working!! Loved the video🔥💜
Thank you! Will do!
Wow! What an amazing life if you can DO it. Especially to live off the grid. Hats off to the free thinkers!
You met some great people and captured the feeling and lifestyle well. We kinda got to know the people which is cool. I enjoy traveling exploring with friends. Great vid keep it up
Most definitely!
The story telling of this was so captivating. The simplicity of the adventure is so much more accessible than we make it out to seem! Cheers to exploring!
Love the endless summer background music
The authenticity of this movie. Love it.
this is the best video I've ever seen i adore this!
I for sure shedded a tear!! This was my reminder to get back in it 🥹☀️
AHHHH I've dreamed about nomad'ing for as long as I can remember!! and seeing other people pursue my dreams is truly magical! I can't wait until I can do it for myself
Excited for you! Even if it’s a weekend trip
This group is a vibe ❤
The vibes are immaculate
This is such a beautiful view into all of your lives, thank you for sharing
Glad you joined along!
This sort of life has been my dream since I was a very young child looking at pictures in magazines. I want so badly to be able to do something like this some day and yet it seems so impossible for me especially since I have pretty bad social anxiety, adhd , sensory issues, and other mental issues which somedays make it hard to even leave my house. But I continue to dream about this sort of life every day and my hope is one day I’ll finally get to buy some kind of van and achieve it , love these sort of videos they inspire me so much
This is honestly my favorite video ever made on TH-cam, such a well made video and makes me want to become a van life content creator even more.
I can’t keep rewatching this one
I love this so much Kyle, you captured everything more than perfectly :,)))
Thank you so much ruby! Glad we got to share the experience
Really well done man. Master piece of a video
I’m ready for a dancer adventure
This video came at the right time. Van-life / travelling with friends with not much of plan in mind Is also a dream of mine. However the older I'm getting (17 about to turn 18) the more I feel like this dream can't become a reality (especially with college right around the corner). I've been following this group for a little over a year now. It started Alex Rogers then caleb and I've been living vicariously through them and their dream but you and this video has definitely made me more hopeful that this dream can become a real.
Also this was such a cool perspective because I've always wanted to know more about the group as a whole.
Getting to watch your video right after my exam is over is like a bonus thanks you thank you thank you 😭❤️
this is a piece of art i hope it continues to reach more people
i love this video, you’re one of the people who inspire me to start van life one day and escape a conventional life. you should start a podcast honestly its amazing to hear these perspectives!
I’ve been thinking about it! Thanks for the suggestion
Currently building out my van and heading to go on a trip through europe in 2 months from now. I only got me, the van and my motorbike (to explore places) on the towbar wich I will travel with. I am sooo interested and hyped to what will happen during this trip, but on the other side I am very anxious of what if it is nothing close to I ever imagined it would be. For me as an pretty introverted person without social media or any backup to connect to people, I hope get over my shadow and get more extroverted towards others and maybe all is meant to be like that and at the end everything goes well ... To find and connect to people like these in the video, on my trip would just be a miracle.
Lots of love from Germany ! Fantastic 10/10 video keep it up.
Good luck on your journey bro
Such a meaningful and moving video. If someone has a dream, they can definitely make it their reality. Seems like such a cool life. Thank you for creatively sharing this journey and the experiences you had together! 💚

This is one of the best videos I've seen in awhile. I love that you guys are all doing this together. I live and was born and raised in Santa Cruz. I'm sure you guys came through here. I thought I spotted some pics that looked like our area. Although it could just be you were in the central coast. Big Sur is literally like right down the highway. Love seeing your guys adventures. You should do a channel with all of you together.
I’m in Santa Cruz right now! Got stuck here for a while your home is so beautiful and filled with amazing people
Finally a long video. In a few years when we get our drivers licences im doing this with my friends

Amazing video, cannot wait to see your success

Loved the reference to "I Don't Want to Grow Up" at the end! Or maybe I'm crazy. Haha, either way, excellent video with important lessons.
