Hi just shared your videos with my Daughter Jemma, she has learning difficulties and learns so much from watching u tube videos like yours. She loves animals and thinks your dog is lovely. She’s been looking at your jewellery and we have just ordered a necklace. Thank you x
Love this new approach, where you skip an intro and go straight into content. I imagine it's less work for you. Please don't feel pressure to limit your video length, I would certainly be happy to see longer videos.
Frugal is a good word and sensible way to live. Everything in moderation and the best things in life are free as you know. I wish I was brave enough to do what you are doing. Well done.
535,10 for a month of living and traveling.... We pay 1040pounds on our London BEDROOM! I love this, very hopefull and we are going to live in our van in springtime 2021
Hello Marina from Catalonia, Spain! If you visit the country and need information or a quiet place to visit, with places to climb and precious volcanoes, in the Garrotxa you will be very welcome! A hug!
Wow when I subscribed you yesterday i think you only have 19900+ subscribers but now you have almost 21000, I found your videos very relaxing and peaceful, take care of your adventure I'm your new fan from philippines.
£89 food bill for a month is very good indeed as Highland prices are not cheap. Fuel is VERY expensive indeed around the Highlands and I too found that a really significant expense BUT, you have to offset that with the lack of hotel bills and the fact that getting around Scotland is what you are there to do. There are no other real entertainment expenses as the scenery and walking IS the entertainment. Just a tip for you. If you are ever in any difficulties then call at any fire station. If it is a retained station, i.e. unmanned, then call at a local shop and ask if any of the retained firefighters work locally. We are only too pleased to help anyone out of difficulties, especially a bonny lass such as yourself 😋 (at 70 years of age I still recognise beauty when I see it and you remind me very much of my beautiful wife at that age). Just explain your problem and tell them an old Sub Officer said they would be the best people to help you. We've repaired cars, given medical help, assisted with accomodation and even driven people home too ill to drive. Firefighters are naturally nice guys. 😀. BTW £50 per month for treating yourself is not extravagant.
88pounds a month for food is so reasonable! I live in London now, so everything is more expensive and it is so easy to be tempted by cafes, pubs and restaurants. Looking forward to my vanlife and eating mostly fresh and home cooked meals
If you don't know already there is a download for your satnav that gives you the location of every Lidl store across the UK and Europe. New to your channel. I like it.
I couldn't stop watching Odie in the background. I can't believe how little you spend, definitely useful for those who want to get into the van life. Thank you for sharing :) Love from Australia!
Hi Marina from UK! Love watching your videos, and Odie is such a good boy, no trouble at all! Have you thought of writing a book about your exciting travels? I , for one, would love to read it, and it would be extra income.
Hi Marina, I'm loving your adventures and your love of enjoying life.. This is the first time i have ever made a comment on anyones video.. Just wanted to encourage you to keep on going! I haven't watched all your videos yet, only started and not read your blog but i will do! Life is for living so Live out Loud!!! Blessing
Hi Marina, I found your channel last weekend and as I was not working over the weekend I started to watch your vlogs and I couldn’t stop, so I’m all caught up, your vlogs are brilliant, thank you for taking the time to make your vlogs and blogs
I used to travel in my car all the time. Really miss those days. I’m happy to have a house now. But it is so much fun traveling. Marina bought u a coffee yesterday! 👍🏻☺️
Hi Marina, Just stumbled across your channel a few days ago. I have a Campervan and holiday with my wife an two dogs mainly in the North of Scotland. So far we have managed about 50 nights away this year. Anyway I take my hat off to you managing to to what you do on such a small van and a tight budget. I do not think I would have the enthusiasm to give up so many comforts. You have many qualities including resourcefulness, intelligence, confidence and bravery. To go away on your own to be at one with the Earth and the Universe is a wonderful objective. Have you now just about finished in Scotland? There are so many things to see we never get tired of the North and are always finding new wonderful places. Best wishes for your future travels. Kind regards Willie
Superb ... now looking forward to the journey to Spain, I don't dare work out how much we spent during three weeks in Scotland. Hope you survived the breeze.
Thanks for sharing, I converted your budget to Canadian dollars and that seemed reasonable. Fuel prices in Canada are a bit high so that made the budgets really similar.
Its seurtenley not stupid to share this, its verry informative for having a clue what costs where, in my opinion you did verry well with the money because Schotland isnt cheap like england, but here in Belgium its alsow expencif to eat and drink in the café's or something, so thanx for your information 😉i keep you following 😊💚☀️keep safe 🙏👍
One of the essential items for van living I haven't heard you mention is a FIRE EXTINGUISHER. Because of your confined living quarters, a fire could wreak havoc in mere minutes if it got out of control in your van, and driving away from it would not be an option. If you don't have one, look for something 'wine bottle' compact like an "AA Fire Extinguisher" (£15-£20) for cars and caravans. Well worth the investment🤞
Love your video. At the end of the week I am buying my first peugeot partner. I will spend the weekend working on converting it into a camper. Good luck on your travels and Let me know when you will be in Scotland again. 🙏
I'd say that five hundred and something pounds a month is incredibly cheap for staying in the Highlands, with food being really low. You are great at budgeting!
Trust me...You did WELL👍🏾 Your total spend for the month is some people's food budget for the month Alone!!! So you did Good! From what you are saying you had a few things that you wouldn't of normally had to account for i.e: new boots, new screen for your laptop etc etc....so to be honest it is actually less than that! So you are Very Frugal!
Yeah, and some people spend that amount money weekly to,they dont have a clue what it is to live with 900€a mont, renting a house, bils Food.......and having kids 🤯
Kjetil from Norway again. Don't know where you are right now but if your still in Scotland. You should go by Glen Tanar Estate near Aboyne. Free camping by the river, nice area, lots of wildlife and really stunning at the top of Mount Keen
Great! You are coming to Spain. I know that you like your individualism and are not a "fan" person who meets people during your trips, but if you have any problem (car related or any type) down here, don't doubt asking help here, and I'm sure that any other spanish suscriber thinks the same. Good trip and a hug for Odie.
Oh piss off! Gorgeous gypo talking proper sense abilities, leaves of trees buffeted by breeze under a sunny sky?! B.s too good, by all "accounts". A real "dream" girl! So strong. Beautiful.

A nice video again Marina. I always get a dose of positivity from your videos :) So you do like coffee! Any specific brand or type that you love the most?
I can recommend the isle of Arran while your around there. I've been a few times. Seen red deer you can walk up to on Shiskine golf course, seals, otters and all sorts of wildlife, good walking. The ferry is a bit expensive though if you're on a budget.
Glad to hear you are coming to Spain soon. I hope to learn even more useful info when you do. Can you do me a favour, please? If you remember, keep your eyes open for oportunities for boondocking in Spain with a caravan, and include ideas like that. Thank you for your lovely videos, also thank Odie for his part in them.
You make it look so easy. Maybe because you are in Europe. I’m in Utah looking to head out and live in a van/ motorhome June 2020. Why did you start livin* this way. I have My Italian dual citizenship, thought about going to Europe way and finishing up my life there. I hav3 2 dogs.
I'm too scared to look at what I spend. I saw your vlog and it is nice to see it in a video. Don't worry the length of the videos they are better than tv.
I love going away in my van for a few weeks at a time but I find its very exspensive, I've found out it's cheaper to stay home but that's just my findings I mabe getting it all wrong.
Great video. Very interesting. I compare this to my travel by motorcycle in China. Doing that I was spending... Hmm...around £200 a week. Van travel seems ultra cheap because you cut out the accommodation costs, eh? Nice break down of costs. Thanks.
Hey Marina, I've just found your channel and am loving catching up with your videos. Do you have heating in pam? Are you planning to stay in the UK for winter? Thanks for the great videos, very inspiring.
Dont need so much heating if you go to bed early with a hot water bottle, flask & book. I have managed like that. Using a wind up torch I was able to have cost free late evenings & nights quite comfortably. Reading. Writing. Making lists. Drinking tea made with my own herbs from my flask. Thinking things through & singing to myself. Making up funny stories to amuse myself (&friends) & then sleeping & dreaming. PEACE!
Hi Marina I just watched and sub to you'r channel 👍 I got a call to a job at Inverness today 7 hrs drive total and found myself looking out for your van 😬 you are a brave girl to do it alone 😱 my wife and I loved the post on bad comments ! there is so much negativity with people today, best just to ignore them I think it is based on jealousy. Would a little bit bigger van not be better for you ? I have a vivaro at work and it gets good mpg ! So much I am going to buy one for private use and kit it out for away days with my wife and dogs 😊 is that an Iceland accent I hear ? With a little touch of Scottish 😂 God bless and safe journeys
As always, Thanks, Pam. Marina, what do you do for heating? The nights are getting colder and wetter, you need to dry stuff. Do you have gas heating? I have seen a proper diesel heating in a minicamper, but i don't think you have that.
You are stunning but I disagree that Scotland or England is expensive you just need to know where to look and I appreciate everyone's different it costs me around £250 a mth all in to do same trip you did plus some around 1400mls
Hi Mariana I love Odie boy so much❤️ As I am a vet I m curious to know how do you take care of odie ( his vaccinations, deworming and other doggie problems) Let me know xxx
I’ve seen a few clips of Odie munching treats and his dog food he’s a healthy happy boy who’s got a brilliant 2nd chance with Marinara.. Don’t think he’s noticed a lack of meats in his diet... He’s a lucky boy... I’ve cut my hours down to be with my pooches more but I’m planning van life in the future ✌️...
sree varsha, I don't know about other "doggie problems", but I'm quite confident vaccines do more harm than good for our pets too, just like vaccine for humans do.
Papa Bear, The ideal for dogs would be raw animal organs (not "the regular dog food"), but then again, one would have to be a millioner to nowadays afford what few decades ago was the only food available, the organic, completely natural food...
chilliman07, "Plants and meat provide different types of protein, both are required." *-* Why? For whom (humans, etc.)? How long one can live without any animal proteins?
Wouldn't you need a fixed address for your van to be registered at? Also for the purposes of road tax and insurance? How does that work? Are you technically "living" at a friend's or relatives house for the purpose of an address? You're an inspiration and I'd like to try this one day but wondered about all the practicalities
I reckon it would be crazy hot in a van in a Spanish summer. But apart from that I think Spain is great. Good food, beaches and generally open countryside with ample chance to wildcamp and forage.
You shouldn't Odie's food in Misc. that should be a every month cost. Coffee might be high but not if you count wifi, bathroom.did I miss what you pay for your cell phone? if so sorry Hazel from Seattle,USA
Be carefully in Spain, I meet a second Camper-van owner this year on my road-trips in France, who's van has been robbed in Spain when went away visiting a costal city, by smashing a window. I know, it could happen everywhere and in any country, but meeting and hearing of a robbery twice this year in Spain to a boon docking guy as me is a high count to me.
It’s funny how people think it’s kind of private to talk about money- on the contrary! There’s nothing strange about it and it was super, super useful, thanks so much!! Hope to see more videos in different countries to be able to compare! That would be wonderful :) Also: How do you know, whether you are allowed stay somewhere with the van? Any experiences on van life in Malta anyone? Thanks so much
What will you do in the winter ? Really. Will you take some time off or you will go visit some warmer places. Like Spain i guess, i don't know how winter is in Spain but i imagine is not so cold like where i live, Romania.
£187 for a month for fuel is nothing O.o We've got a roatrip of Scandinavia next month and we're estimating a fuel cost of about £700 for that month :s
Lost Yogi 1 sec, 10km/L = 25mpg, yeah that's about what our campervan will do. Our route is about 4500-5000km (Copenhagen to Tromso via Norway and back via Sweden's east coast). We're estimating fuel is around 1.60 Euro/Litre, is that about right?
I think that's a remarkably small amount of money, especially considering it included those miscellaneous items and hugely expensive Highland food. I'd have imagined you having to spend a lot more!
Hi MarinaIf you are comming to Spain you must visit Portugal all so. :)If you want I could give you some tips on places to visit around here...The weather is steel great (sunny days temperture around 30Cº durind the day and 18 Cº during the night)prices of stuff you will need:gasoline is around 1.6 Euro/litre (it´s a litle cheaper in Spain)1 Kg ou fruit is around 1/1.8 euro deppending on the variety500g pasta spaguetti it´s around 40 cents
It s seems not expensive... 88,90 pounds of fuel for 1 month! When I fill my tank for my small van (Fiat Scudo) the cost is about 110 euros and I need to refill it about twice a month... and I use another car to go to my job!

i can live way cheaper than that and i don't need a van or pam lol
talking as a high rolling man she's got a snack habbit lol

but i wouldn't like you if was a little wify because you didn't wash
88pounds a month for food is so reasonable! I live in London now, so everything is more expensive and it is so easy to be tempted by cafes, pubs and restaurants. Looking forward to my vanlife and eating mostly fresh and home cooked meals
£89 a month for food is amazing! We must spend close to £800 month for a family of 5. We really must try and reduce this!

Regarding fuel costs, bring Pam to the caucasus region. Regular petrol is roughly 0.45€ a litre :D
I'd say that five hundred and something pounds a month is incredibly cheap for staying in the Highlands, with food being really low.
You are great at budgeting!
Trust me...You did WELL👍🏾

£535 is ok. My rent alone is 540 :D
just came across your channel ,I love it, nice to see a women that is a bit adventurous and independent

535.20 is amazing good job 👌 I wish I could do that
You are stunning but I disagree that Scotland or England is expensive you just need to know where to look and I appreciate everyone's different it costs me around £250 a mth all in to do same trip you did plus some around 1400mls
Just discovered you on here, watched a few videos, (they are great) where abouts are you from, love the accent.
Hi Mariana I love Odie boy so much❤️
As I am a vet I m curious to know how do you take care of odie ( his vaccinations, deworming and other doggie problems)
Let me know xxx
I’ve seen a few clips of Odie munching treats and his dog food he’s a healthy happy boy who’s got a brilliant 2nd chance with Marinara.. Don’t think he’s noticed a lack of meats in his diet... He’s a lucky boy... I’ve cut my hours down to be with my pooches more but I’m planning van life in the future ✌️...
chilliman07,
Yeah, and did you see what is "fit" nowadays for "human consumption"? 😄
sree varsha,
I don't know about other "doggie problems", but I'm quite confident vaccines do more harm than good for our pets too, just like vaccine for humans do.
Papa Bear,
The ideal for dogs would be raw animal organs (not "the regular dog food"), but then again, one would have to be a millioner to nowadays afford what few decades ago was the only food available, the organic, completely natural food...

"Plants and meat provide different types of protein, both are required."
*-* Why? For whom (humans, etc.)? How long one can live without any animal proteins?
Wouldn't you need a fixed address for your van to be registered at? Also for the purposes of road tax and insurance? How does that work? Are you technically "living" at a friend's or relatives house for the purpose of an address? You're an inspiration and I'd like to try this one day but wondered about all the practicalities
spain is were i live, its perfect for what your doing. like the vlog.
I reckon it would be crazy hot in a van in a Spanish summer. But apart from that I think Spain is great. Good food, beaches and generally open countryside with ample chance to wildcamp and forage.
You shouldn't Odie's food in Misc. that should be a every month cost. Coffee might be high but not if you count wifi, bathroom.did I miss what you pay for your cell phone? if so sorry Hazel from Seattle,USA
I had a guess at £100 00 all in !!!
Be carefully in Spain, I meet a second Camper-van owner this year on my road-trips in France, who's van has been robbed in Spain when went away visiting a costal city, by smashing a window.
I know, it could happen everywhere and in any country, but meeting and hearing of a robbery twice this year in Spain to a boon docking guy as me is a high count to me.
I’m sorry if this question has been asked, but when you make your videos, how do you upload them while you are travelling?
If I can use WiFi from a coffee shop than I do that, otherwise I have 30gb of internet connection monthly which ain't that bad!
It’s funny how people think it’s kind of private to talk about money- on the contrary! There’s nothing strange about it and it was super, super useful, thanks so much!!
Hope to see more videos in different countries to be able to compare! That would be wonderful :)
Also: How do you know, whether you are allowed stay somewhere with the van? Any experiences on van life in Malta anyone? Thanks so much
wonderful woman
enjoying life to the full
well done
When i see these comments i know i could never survive in gb. Im to frugal for those prices...
£535. A small sum to pay for the freedom you have, the beauty you see and the life experience you have gained, ehich most people would die for 😀
What will you do in the winter ? Really. Will you take some time off or you will go visit some warmer places. Like Spain i guess, i don't know how winter is in Spain but i imagine is not so cold like where i live, Romania.
3:26 Odie antithesis of ninja...wah? 2:40 am N.Z time Lol I'm drunk, going to sleep now.
Love your vidios by the way ide love to bump into you on the road ide learn so much from you.
£187 for a month for fuel is nothing O.o
We've got a roatrip of Scandinavia next month and we're estimating a fuel cost of about £700 for that month :s
Lost Yogi 1 sec, 10km/L = 25mpg, yeah that's about what our campervan will do. Our route is about 4500-5000km (Copenhagen to Tromso via Norway and back via Sweden's east coast). We're estimating fuel is around 1.60 Euro/Litre, is that about right?
Lost Yogi But we like the £1/10km, much easier to figure it out :)
Hahahah odie is busy searching for ball....again😜
I think that's a remarkably small amount of money, especially considering it included those miscellaneous items and hugely expensive Highland food. I'd have imagined you having to spend a lot more!
That's amazing. You are amazing. Wow
i have you on 'bell' alerts now. i get the email and i'm here! great information as usual!
