- After a summer spent renovating and living in our 1980's campervan, we are quitting vanlife. We have been MIA from our channel for a couple months so we wanted to update you on where we have been, what we have been doing and what's next for us now that we quit vanlife.

Hi! 👋 We are Eric and Sarah, a couple of Canadian adventurers! We’ve been married since 2017 but have known each other since we were only 6 years old! After travelling in Latin America for over a year, we bought an old 1983 Ford Econoline Campervan and started our Vintage Van Life. Our desire through these videos is to provide helpful and inspiring content for other travelers and vanlifers while also showing people around the world how beautiful this planet truly is! Thanks for following along and please leave a comment to say hi!

Thanks for all the support on our vanlife series! Any guesses where we’re headed next?? 👀
south east Asia!
Missed you two, glad you're both okay, wish Sara was without any health issues. My best guess is SE Asia, it's one of the more affordable destinations, some English spoken, Europe would be expensive, and the middle east, usually has some unrest/issues at any given time. Plus, wouldn't think wearing a head to toe hijab in 100 deg weather would go over to easily for a Canadian girl. Wherever you go, happy trails!
@@werkerbeesue thanks Sue. I appreciate your well wishes 🥰
Thanks for the BC videos this summer. I really enjoyed them as I wasn't able to travel. SO excited you are going back to traveling internationally. Can't wait to see where you are going. Good luck and safe healthy. Cheers from a very snowy Northern Ontario.
So glad you enjoyed the BC series! We’re SO excited to start sharing our international travels again too 😄 Enjoy the snow for us 😉
Im so excited for the travel tip series!!! 🎉😮
Yay!! We love to hear that! 😊
Thanks for sharing about your chronic health issues-I think that’s really important, sharing so vulnerably with others who are struggling in similar ways. So happy you’re back to having some good days!
Also, glad you’ve found a rhythm in making TH-cam vs some other money-making endeavors. Happy you’re finding your way and exploring with your one wild and precious life!
Thanks Rebekah 🥰 I hope by sharing I can encourage others who are struggling that it can get better and travel is still possible!
Just found you guys with your "surprise we're home" vlog....and I'm hooked! Your editing is amazeballs! I watch all, and I mean all, the vanlife/full-time travel vlogs and have been for years and I see you guys just getting more subscribers with every vlog you put out....great job! You should PM some of the other full-time travelers..maybe if you happen to be in the same area as them....double vlog action!! Keep up the good work guys....I'll pass your channel around to others.....godspeed.
For a really nice dinner in a really cheap country.... or coffee and donuts at Tim Horton's. (I am compelled to put that darn apostrophe in there.)
I'm so proud of you guys getting to 20K subscribers. I have a quick question for you. My wife Christine (theordinarysacred) has struggled with chronic illness and I was wondering if yours, Sarah, manifested in Ecuador at all. I'm hoping that a cleaner environment (air, water, food, etc.) and a climate that doesn't have wild fluctuations will be helpful for her in the future.
Also, Eric, I say, "I hate people" all the time and quickly follow it up with "but I love persons."
You guys are the best. Keep on keepin' on!
@@2ndSprings wow thank you so much Brian! We appreciate it so much!! We’ll make sure to treat ourselves to some cheap treats 😉
I (Sarah) felt fairly good in Ecuador! The fresh air and fresh food definitely helped. I had some rough days when we would change locations (mostly when big climate/elevation changes from beach to mountains). But I think if you stay in one place for a long time it helps! I do have more good days when travelling than at home (sadly) so I hope the same is true for your wife! 💛
@@EricandSarah Hey guys! Long time no see. We are living in Ecuador now and loving it. Maybe you should come back here and visit! Glad you are ready to embark on another international journey. Good health is key!
Safe travels and look forward to seeing where you visit next!
Thanks Debra!!
Chronic illness is just a pain in your life. Find what works and the diagnosis. Know that there is support. Manage your spoons! Wishing you both all the best, from a family who knows the journey
Hey guys, it's good to hear some reality about youtube earnings. It's so inspiring to hear about how you are getting to use your video skills! Best wishes on your new journey and Sarah I hope you keep feeling better with each day. All the best, Rachel :)
See you later Gord! I'm excited to see the videos you guys will come out with next!
We’re SUPER excited for all the videos we have to share next!!
Wow that’ll teach me to skip your channel for a month (in my defense, I’ve been traveling internationally in December) Really looking forward to seeing where you’re headed. We’re off to Thailand and Vietnam at the end of January, maybe we’ll cross paths??? Regardless, happy 2023 and here’s to new adventures for us all!
It's really cool experience 😎 👍👍👍
Thanks! Vanlife was a great experience! 😊
great vids and trips 4 some of us who dont travel we can live with and xperience through u guys thanks,Ray
Thanks Ray! We’re excited we can take you along with our travels 😊
I honestly jumped off the channel once you went back to Canada. I never watched any of these videos b cause I really liked your international stuff. But after seeing you pop up on my recommended channels again, I took another look and watched this video. I went to Guatemala and your videos helped me. Going to Costa Rica soon and same thing (crazy drivers). I also realized I just like your personalities because you guys would be people I would want to hang out with. So now that your doing videos in Colombia, even better. But I’m pretty sure if you go back to Canada, I’ll stick around this time. THanks for going to all the place I want to go and teaching me about them
Thank you for this thoughtful comment! 🥰 It really means a lot to us to hear you say that! We understand that most people watch our channel for international travel, but we do want to find a balance of returning home to spend time with our loved ones 😊 Hope you continue watching our videos!
Yay for new vids! Stoked for "tips for trips" series 😂🫶 Happy to hear you're feeling better Sarah 💞
Hahaha we’re excited to share it! 😄 And thanks guys 🥰
Thanks for the updates. I am one whom enjoys the international as well as the Gord videos. Great to hear you are getting work outside of TH-cam and working towards building a small business. Very cool! Best wishes always to you both.
Thanks so much for your encouragement and support! We appreciate it so much 😊
Ooooooooooo, I am excited about the new series!!
We love to hear that!! We’re so excited to share it! 😄
Thanks so much for updating us, so great to see you have been visiting an exploring an look forward to tips for trips . Take care :)
Thanks Brenda 🥰
To new adventures!🥂
Hope you create great memories.
Thank you! 🥳
Hi guys, Sarah is sorry you haven't been feeling well. I (Gladys) suffer from migraines and vertigo. There are times when we can't do out and film. I sympathize with you❤. Side projects sound like fun and it seems like you guys really enjoy them. That's a fact you can't really on TH-cam Adsense 😆 I tell Kenny all the time it's a good thing we don't need TH-cam money. If we did we would be in trouble 😂 we enjoyed your adventures in British Columbia and can't wait to follow your International journey. Best wishes ❤
Thanks 💖
Looking forward to follow you Internationally - once more - and, happy to hear you're not getting rid of Gord 😊
At the same time, so sorry to hear about your health issues but, at the same time, sure your travelling will help for that also - just stay positive 👍🤗
Take care till next time...😊
Thank you! We’re happy to have you following along every step of our journey ☺️
@@EricandSarah And, I am happy to follow while awaiting - long awaited pension and not least, my departure from Europe - and next stop, you know where 💕💓💕
Take care, have a lovely Sunday and, looking forward to follow your travellings....wherever they bring you 😊👍
Eric and Sarah, I glad that Sarah is feeling better. Love seeing the views from the ocean going ferry boatI The ferry boat is more like a ocean going vessel then just a ferry boat. I am glad that you keeping Gord the Ford because of all the work you have done to it. Besides the van has made some long trips without causing any mechanical problems. I think that the video projects are great. You have made better and better videos each time. Your new enterprise is going to take off!
Welcome back!
Thanks! So happy to be back 😄
SO excited to see whats next for you guys! We loved loved loved your honesty in this video!!
Thanks friends!! Love you 🥰🥰
I can’t wait for your next video! Where will you be be t? I am glad Sarah is better.
So genuine. So fun. Love the casual ferry travel day / information vlog. Excellently done. Excited Sarah's health is improving and y'all are doing side projects to help make some extra money! PUMPED to watch you do some more international travel / check out your "tips for trips" series! :) Take care, y'all!
All the best and keep us posted. We are Canadians living in Central America and have been following your adventures since Ecuador. Looking forward to it!
Hi Tim! We are a Canadian couple now living in Ecuador! Nice to meet you! We watched these guys when they were travelling in Ecuador last year so we could learn about it before we thought about moving here. We love it!
Ecuador has great health care , great food :-). Ideasss
Ah, waiting for a ferry life of Vancouver Islander.
