    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    These two passionate van lifers strive for a journey of passive income, adventure, and freedom. Entrepreneurship is the name of their success, and it shows with the variety of ideas that generates a six-figure income. Emmaus and Nikki lead by example as they share their tips and tricks openly through social media.
    On the exterior of their rig, you'll find a couple of off-road bikes hiding the ladder that leads to the roof deck. The gorgeous interior has personal touches throughout, with wedding gifts repurposed into new uses and delicate flower vases velcroed down near the wall of frames and photos. The kitchen is adequate with proper storage space, and Emmaus and Nikki installed a 72" projector screen enhancing their living room that converts into the bed for those Netflix nights.

      With "love and honor," someone professing that they appreciate seeing the representation shouldn't been seen as "divisive" or somehow "triggering" to others, and if it does then that speaks more about their/your own character and sensitivities than it does anyThing or One else. Again.... all due respect.

    I would just share all the fun we had with others hoping they'd embrace it too and I'd invite my cousins or friends from the neighborhood.. You don't know what you would like until u try it at least

    Also she seems like a right firepot! Haha
    Such a boho chic look to everything, although a bit cluttered and stuffed, I really liked the nifty idea of stuffing the pillows actually!! Ingenious idea!

    One of the best van's I seen yet since I've been watching this movement of van living or lifestyle. You guys are inspiring and thank for sharing. We as Black have to stop limiting ourselves and just live the life we desire to live. At 52, you youngsters ♥ have inspired me to look into this lifestyle of living and passive income. Keep inspiring and educating others on how to live the life they wish to live. I'll definitely be purchasing your book.

      A friend of the family lived in her van when I was growing up in the 80's. She saved money, retired, and traveled the country. She was married to an Arabic man when she was younger and fell in love with his culture and country. Later in life, she started traveling to different countries in the Middle East once a year. She would always bring my sister and me cool little trinkets from her travels. It was a very fulfilling life for her.
