Love that you are so open and pump others up. You guys know that it’s hard putting yourselves out there to the world but so glad you did, love seeing what you do, absolutely inspires us ❤️
Thanks mate, yeah it’s hard work that’s the hardest part about this whole thing is putting yourself out there!! 100%! Thanks mate that means the world to us! 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽❤️
Well done on being so real. Im 52 and would love my kids to travel when they're in their mid 20s. One of my kids is his 3rd year as an electrician, another is 1st year truck mechanic and the youngest is in high school so promoting good channels like yours to them helps them dream to achieve 👍.
Being following you guys almost since you started, I've said before how I love the way you keep it honest and down to earth. This latest vid is another example of why I watch every episode. Keep up the great content. Cannot wait for the NZ adventures to drop.
Great vid guys, love the honesty... I have been an intermittent follower for some time now. You have converted me.. Keep up the awesome vids and travels
Welcome to NZ. It's only a small country but there's so much to see & do. It's good that you're not trying to tour both islands in such a short time frame. Have fun. I'm sure you'll enjoy your time over here. Cheers team. 😀😀
Thanks Dave! Thanks for having us mate in your beautiful country! I agree, instead of spreading ourselves thinly across both islands we thought we would just do one properly!! Can’t bloody wait aye
Have a great time in NZ. We have been many times and always find something new to do and revisit some favourite spots. And Kiwis are the friendliest bunch of people we have found anywhere in the World. Enjoy!
Bugger. We were at the show in ChCh but didn’t see you. We would have said “Hi Aussies!” 😃Enjoy our beautiful South Island. (Thanks for your channel too btw.)
Thanks for yet another informative clip. Can’t wait to see the South Island again, as we were there in late 2019 and loved it. Have fun and safe travels .
The honesty from you guys makes you more relatable. Appreciate the answers! Have me seriously considering quitting my job to travel full time. Thanks again!
Refreshing video and your a great couple. Myself and my partner sent 40 nights in NZ in 09, you guys are in for a trip you'll never forget. Keep a journal of each day activities it helps when you look back 13 years later like us. Safe travels.
Well done guys ! Love your Views on other So called big channels. You are so humble and generous with your information . Others should definitely take note or maybe 🤔 they should go forth and multiple with a trip in their van !! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate, it’s all about giving back to people and hopefully inspiring others!! What we do isnt hard, if we can do it anyone could do it! It’s all about having a crack! 🍻🤙🏽
Unless you’re getting views in the millions, you’re not making huge amounts of money but it does continue to fund this lifestyle and at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. Lifestyle. You’re living the life most only dream of or are too afraid to try. Thanks for sharing that info and best wishes on your journey.
Gday Robert! Yeah mate totally agree! It’s all about the lifestyle and staying out of debt for us! It’s cool to see the increases over time and as the videos get better though! Feels rewarding working for ourself. Thanks for the comment mate! Really appreciate it
Thanks for your videos as they have been informative and inspiring to myself and wife as were just starting our preparation for the big lap Your time and effort you both put into the channel deserves all that comes your way !!
Thanks legend! This comment means a lot to us! We chuck in a lot of time and effort and we are so lucky to have you legends to make videos for! We love it! We do this trying to inspire so Thankyou mate really appreciate it
Thanks for posting this team! It’s always refreshing to have people in the same boat share their income and be so transparent! Love how down to earth you both are! New subscribers here😊
Hi Sarah and Keelan. Greetings ! Really enjoy your travels and videos - keep up the great work. Looking forward to your NZ adventure and recommendations of what you enjoyed. Thanks for taking us all along.
I just come across you guys , well done keep going , my wife and I have been on the road for 5 yrs , we come across a couple that had been on the road for 42yrs and 6 vans later and still love it 😃
Great segment. You both came across so well. I’m about to start vaning soon and your Utube so helpful. NZ never thought of taking the van across so really looking forward the next post. All the best
Hi guys another great video I saw you guys yesterday at the Christchurch show and we had a chat for a few minutes that was so great meeting you two I was wearing the norweld T shirt Good luck with your Nz travels you will love it Hope to see you on the road take care and drive safe
wow NZ. you will love this place, i only went to the North Island for a month, loved it .boating, fishing, scuba diving with perfect visibility. warm water. this was the most beautiful holiday ever. but they tell me the South Island is even better but a lot colder. good luck on your journey, waana chup bro, stay safe and enjoy,
Can’t bloody wait mate! We just flew in and it’s already chilli haha 😂 epic though we will have to put the north on our bucket list too! Hahahaha thanks mate 🤙🏽🍻
Hey guys love this video & how honest you are. It’s great to see TH-camrs with integrity, you aren’t about marketing products simply because you want cash, you only promote what you have personally used & tested & purchased, so as you say you aren’t bound to say nice things about the product if it is shitty! I’m interested in learning about affiliate marketing. How do you go about starting this process? Been following you since the early days & love your content. Keep up the great work ❤️
Thanks mate!! Glad you enjoyed it! That’s it, all about trust, honour and integrity! We like to sleep at night and we can’t if we blindly promote products we Havnt used or tested! Affiliate marketing is very easy, anyone can do it! Drop shipping is another good one to research mate! Thanks 🤙🏽🍻
Just came across you guys last night while looking for videos on iTechworld products. We’re both looking forward to watching all of your videos and following your adventures. Good on both of you for having a go. We’re both 60 and think the two of you come across as two fine young authentic people. Very cool being genuinely yourselves. Definitely a big thumbs up from us. 💯👍 Regards John and Kim.
Gday John and Kim! welcome to the channel im glad you found us haha iTechworld is great! affordable and it works! we have been running there gear full time for almost 2 years now with no issues! we have a discount code! SKT10 or SKT will get you 5% off store wide! thanks guys!
Well done guys, getting out there doing what you love while you're young and not with little feet underfoot. Enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity. Keep the helpful videos coming, you guys rock. 👍
Didn't realise you guys were coming over.First time we won't be going to the show in CHCH-bummer.We live in Marlborough so if you need any help just reach out
Hi Guys, Just a thankyou for you most interesting and honest reports on life on the road, my wife and I have just discovered you and we intend to follow all your adventures in the future. Good luck on your NZ trip, can't wait to see how you enjoy the islands.
Hey guys, love your videos. I'm a huge fan. Just on the rego question, if you pay a full year of rego and your car gets written off in a hail storm, you don't get a rego refund. It happened to me and that's when I started paying quarterly rego even though it's a bit more you won't lose it if something like that happens. Can't wait to see videos from NZ and Cape York! Have fun!
Hey Steve, thanks for supporting us mate w really appreciate it! Now there is a great insight that myself and I’m assuming a lot of others wouldn’t think about! Cheers mate very true! Thanks legend!! 🍻🤙🏽
@@SarahandKeelanTravels In WA if your car gets written off or damaged you can always hand your plates into DOT and get a credit for the months of the year that you have not used.
Don't ever justify what you spend on anything or what you should spend on things.. just keep doing you! love everything you're doing together guys, and I've been here since the start, I think that sometimes I was the not the first (damn it) but close to the first to comment on what you were doing. Excuse me if I say,.... fu@k the haters or naysayers. you show us all that is going on with your life, your budget and your sponsors and what they are willing to give! Keep traveling and keep giving us great content! Love you both because you're beautiful,.. yesssssss,.... even you Keelan! LoL
you two are fantastic, my wife and I are about to do a lap of WA, we have a Prado also and a kick ass pod trailer, hopefully we bump into you on the trails somewhere sometime, be safe guys, 🐸, froggy.
Thanks Jason!! Exciting mate! Well done, Great tow vehicle mate we love the Prado! It’s modest and unassuming but it gets the job done! Thanks mate and yes for sure 🍻🤙🏽 safe travels guys
Great, punchy video, authentic and enjoyable. We have just returned from a Motorhome trip around the North Island. It was one stunning location after another. Everyone was super friendly, food awesome. Pretty sure you will have a similar experience, I continue to follow you to share your experiences. Keep up the great work/show! 😊
Back when i found out that my favourite youtubers dont really earn much from views, but every view helps, i started going on their channel and just playing videos while im working on my 4wd or even when im asleep, so they get just that few more views. It costs me nothing since i have unlimited internet, and if its a way i can help i may as well 😊 Youll know if ive actually watched a video when im awake cos ill also like and comment haha.. Hope to see you two around someday, till then happy and safe travels to you both!
i don't know how stumbled across you guys probably to do with 4wd stuff but its awesome how honest and genuine you guys are about you Q/A so that deserves a sub ... big thumbs up
Great video guys, all the best wishes 👍 for your NZ tour, I miss the south Island, very beautiful there the mountains and lake's you will love it, cheers 🍻 rick.
I just discovered your channel. You guys are so relatable and inspiring to me. Congratulations on LIVING your lives. I am now subscribed and looking forward to following your adventure. Enjoy New Zealand. It’s a truly amazing Country. Keep in touch.
Hey guys, great vid as always. Next Q&A put the taxation issue on the list of questions. I know Patreon income etc is taxable but it would be nice to know what deductions you qualify for like claiming depreciation on Percy & Keith, fuel costs, and whether you can claim accom costs as well. Enjoy NZ. It will be a great experience and I’m looking forward to all the Kiwi episodes!
Hey Ian! Always bringing the well thought out ideas to the table! Standard mate haha 😂 great idea, in fact I think we should start paying you for these ideas haha 😂 I’ll have to state at the start of the video : disclaimer this is not financial advice hahah 🤙🏽😂🤙🏽
Gday S n K ... thanks for sharing that ... sooo tell me when are yas doin Mid north coast of NSW ... i mean i dont get alot of time to myself ... but id love to have a cuppa with you pair ... as you know this is one of my most fave channels to watch ... and i hate missing eps from you guys ... anyway Loved this Vid love the honesty and the Humour take care see you in the next vid xx
Gday Macka!! No worries mate!! It’s a tough one! We are shooting straight past and doing the cape unfortunately but we will be back down your way in September around Sydney for the 4wd adventure show! Thanks for all the support over the year Macka! Your well and truly one of our top supporters and we really appreciate it 🍻🤙🏽🍻
Luvin ur stuff guys, I only recently came across ur channel searching solar stuff & found ur 12v solar rookie mistakes vid, I guessed u musta been a sparky, anyhow been doin some binging of ur adventures since, keep it up. Cheers
I need to raise this and I am sure others would agree. This channel is great. The advice which is presented on this channel is always helpful. Especially, around batteries. They have a good following and down to earth. What pissed me off is some smaller channels get free vans, paid sponsorships and make it look like they paid for everything which is misleading. This channel is the real deal. Just recently I went van shopping at the caravan show here in Melbourne. I notice a caravan brand posting photos of a nice couple, and their channel everywhere. This was a big brand name. And recently they have again mentioned that they are upgrading their van next year. They just recently purchased a 2022 model! And at a cost of 140k plus, they don’t make that type of money on TH-cam or sponsorship deals! After a little investigation, I noticed they upgrade every year. So this tells everyone they get free vans! But on the channel they said they sold their house to buy everything which is BS. I don’t think that fair on channels like this. Keep up the good work guys
Hey Alek, Thanks mate, when we do product reviews and promote things on the channel we actually use and test (punish) the products for some time before we actually promote it and say if it’s any good. A lot of channels unbox a product they have never used then Tell us to buy it with there discount code which we arnt about! We are set on never promoting crap that we don’t personally love and believe in and every product we show we would be happy for our family to buy and use. In regards to vans, we are brand ambassadors for Urban Caravans, like I said above we have tested and punished this van so we are comfortable to promote it because we 100% back and believe in the brand. We 100% DO NOT get vans for free, we paid big money (3 house deposits) for our current van and we are looking to upgrade sometime soon to something bigger ( again not free in any capacity) we saved extremely hard for 3 years before travelling so comfortable amount in our savings to do this! Plus we make some money with TH-cam and affiliate discount codes to the brands we love and believe in! Hopefully this gives you a bit of insight. Not sure what “caravan deals” everyone else has but if they are getting free vans they must be bloody good you tubers haha 😂 cheers alek
Awesome video, you both are so laid back and that appeals to a lot of viewers. I agree TH-cam is a lot of effort for the monetary reward but it's about the passion and helping others out 👍😉 Enjoy NZ, it's on our bucket list one day 😀
Thankyou! Appreciate that! It’s all about helping and if people like your videos and the person you are then you’ll get rewarded with comments like these! We are just trying to inspire others!! 🤙🏽😂
New sub. I really like your channel not only do you go to stunning locations. You both are fun to watch. I hope you have enjoyed cold Victoria. Looking forward to your Kiwi videos. Im a snow bird in Melbourne.
Hey guys, enjoying following, We have been looking to upgrade our camper, we came across the urban and really like it especially since it is aust made. We went to urban in wa will we were here travelling. Cannot get an "armour" until 2025, crazy hey
Hey guys, I have just discovered your channel! I see you have a Grab Me Gear sticker on your car - do you use his gear? Jimmy is our mate and neighbour 😊 Love your work, and the humility you have in this video! Keep it up 👌🏼
I think that the thing that a lot of people forget when asking these questions is how much you forgo in terms of incomes if you were doing your normal jobs. Fair to say that a teacher and tradie will be making good coin when you include all the benefits that are available, certainly way more than you are getting now and without the capital costs of all the equipment. Keep doing what you're doing as I don't have any issues with it and I'm big enough and ugly enough to make my own decisions. Thanks for the video.
Hey mate that’s it!! Time/income equation was far more favourable in our normal jobs! However the happiness we have gained from working for ourself and all the perks of being your own boss is epic!! 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽 Thanks mate
I think it would be pretty comparable really, A teaching degree cost around 40k maybe more now and I reckon between tafe fees and all my tools and crap I would be close to that! Although comparing a electrician with there own business and contractors license that would be a blow out as you have a Ute (like you say) tools, over heads, insurances blah blah it would be around 200k before you even quote on your first domestic contract! Big money
@@SarahandKeelanTravels Depends on which trade. I guess I was pointing at a lot of the equipment needed is custom and you can't buy off the shelf. Trial and error setting up vehicles maybe more then 1, welding to mount all ur gear. All that stuffing around plus it's expensive. Time off work to do all that. Good channel by the way have only watched half a video will get through a few more!
Keep working hard and living your dream guys. Life is a challenge but if you follow your beliefs and love what you do money will always follow. Wishing you the best in your 1M subscriber giveaway.
Awesome stuff Guys, Going to NZ, How bloody exciting , look forward to your content, Charge the drone battery's up cos ya gonna need them, Onya's 🍻🍻🍻 cheers Andy
You guys will ❤️ NZ!!!!!! So good that you are doing the South Island…but then I am biased as I am from Christchurch…..🤪 So many beautiful places to explore…. Not sure what ur itinerary looks like but many people go from ChCh to the West Coast, via Lewis Pass…..and check out the Hot Pools at Hamner Springs on the way….. Then once you hit Greymouth you need to also check out Punakaiki (Pancake Rocks)….so amazing!!!! The West Coast is such a rugged coastline…. People then head down towards the glaciers, Franz & Fox……this is where a scenic helicopter ride would be epic!!!! Then across to Queenstown, Wanaka and Te Anau and Milford Sound……you have to go to the Southern Lakes District….it’s soooooo stunning!!!! Then that drive back up to ChCh through the McKenzie basin is stunning…..you might need chains though…. You can call in to Mt Cook on the way….it’s a bit of a drive off the main drag but totally worth it….NZ’s highest mountain….. The rest of the drive up to ChCh is stunning…the lakes that are part of the hydro electricity scheme are stunning….Lake Pukaki & Lake Tekapo…. Kaikoura, which is about 2& 1/2 hrs north of ChCh is a gorgeous seaside town, great surfing too…..lots of seals on that coastline….. Nelson is also worth a visit, at the top of the South Island it gets the most sunshine in the country….which is a big deal in NZ…..plus you can head out into Marlborough Sounds on a boat from there…..also very beautiful…. From Nelson it’s not far to Motueka & Kaiteriteri beach…..so beautiful…. Also Abel Tasman National Park is there…..some great walks and you can go kayaking as well….. Far out, I’m making myself homesick 😳 Have a fabulous time legends!!!! Looking forward to yr NZ eps
Sharon!! Thankyou haha we may aswell throw out our itinerary and just use this one you have kindly typed for us!! I’ve screen shotted this message so will refer back to it on our trip! Thankyou for the time it took you to type this for us ❤️🤙🏽🍻
Been following you guy's for a while and love your vids. Enjoy New Zealand my daughter and family live on the Sth Island in Cromwell if going there check out the Stocker Room everything is cooked in wine barrels, and also visit the Warbirds museum on the way between Queenstown and Wanaka, or do a hot lap at Highlands race track Cromwell. If still in Victoria we live on the Gippsland Lakes at Metung and feel free to come and park up at our place and visit this beautiful part of Victoria
That’s an awesome video, thanks for being honest and it is definitely hard work what your doing a lot of people don’t understand until they try and do it. Great work and keep it up 👍
Hey guys, love the honest feedback. You both look like healthy living people. I would LOVE to know how to eat for $80 a week for 2 people. What on earth can 2 people eat for $5.71 each per day.
You guys are amazing and have inspired My wife and I to start planning our way to doing this! Super excited and let the planning begin! Love the way you guys keep it honest and real!
Have fun in NZ guys love your work. Ps . I’m sure you know but make sure car / van is super clean coming home or you’ll be cleaning it over and over and or paying for such . Very strict quarantine rules .
😂😂😂😂 that raw pure no frills attitude is what keeps me and Rene watching. Sarah you are amazing and any kid that you have ever taught can consider them selves privileged. We are gobsmacked to hear you are going to visit our little brothers. Kiwiland is amazing, only been there once my self, it was a blast drinking 72hours straight with half of Hamilton 😂😂😂😂 I did not know you were doing a Q&A………..I do have a few questions 🙈🙈🙈 Thanx for your hard work, and its real love and understanding that make you two work so well……been there done that got the stretch marks 😂😂😂 Love your work and cant wait for the next video and see and hear your opinion of Kiwiland. Cheers Johnny&Rene
Hahah thanks mate!! Good to hear because no frills attitude is easy for us haha 😂 100% mate, sarah is a gun teacher!! Hahaha what a bender mate I’m sure you felt it after that haha drop the questions in mate and we will answer them! Thanks mate! Can’t wait to show you guys what we get up too!! 🍻🤙🏽🍻
How did you cope with the quarantine of the van? Its insane cleaning to do and when coming back to Australia. You guys dont do no2’s in your van……so where do you do it? 😂🙈 Please give more info on your new internet system, cost, model, installation, speed etc something Rene would want. Thanx guys, hope its not to personal 😂😂😂
We got around the quarantine rode block haha you’ll see! We use facilities mate, and if we are in the Bush we would dig a 30cm hole and bury it. Hope this helps mate!
We will never blow your candle out to make ours look brighter. Best quote ever
Hahah glad you liked that one mate 🍻🤙🏽🍻
Love that you are so open and pump others up. You guys know that it’s hard putting yourselves out there to the world but so glad you did, love seeing what you do, absolutely inspires us ❤️
Thanks mate, yeah it’s hard work that’s the hardest part about this whole thing is putting yourself out there!! 100%! Thanks mate that means the world to us! 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽❤️
This is why you guys are so successful...straight down the line and to the point. Keep being yourselves.
Thanks mate!! Appreciate this feedback!! 🍻🤙🏽🍻
Well done on being so real. Im 52 and would love my kids to travel when they're in their mid 20s. One of my kids is his 3rd year as an electrician, another is 1st year truck mechanic and the youngest is in high school so promoting good channels like yours to them helps them dream to achieve 👍.
Thanks mate!! Sounds like you’ll be getting free electrical work and mechanical work haha thanks mate I hope they enjoy our channel

Thanks Dave! Thanks for having us mate in your beautiful country! I agree, instead of spreading ourselves thinly across both islands we thought we would just do one properly!! Can’t bloody wait aye
So good to finally see some youtubers being honest about everything
Thanks mate!! Honesty is key
Love the candle analogy😉
Thanks Susan! We like to throw petrol on other people’s candles not blow there’s out to make ours look brighter haha 😂
Have a great time in NZ. We have been many times and always find something new to do and revisit some favourite spots.

Interesting to see how as TIAV grow larger more people seem to be switched off by their push for merchandising and “look at us” attitude.
Unless you’re getting views in the millions, you’re not making huge amounts of money but it does continue to fund this lifestyle and at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. Lifestyle.

Hi Guys, Just a thankyou for you most interesting and honest reports on life on the road, my wife and I have just discovered you and we intend to follow all your adventures in the future. Good luck on your NZ trip, can't wait to see how you enjoy the islands.
hey Robert! thanks for the comment and the support! NZ trip was amazing! you have some binge watching to do mate!! cheers
Love how open you guys are 👍 will try and watch an Ad or two
Thanks Debbie!! You are a legend 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
Hey guys, love your videos. I'm a huge fan. Just on the rego question, if you pay a full year of rego and your car gets written off in a hail storm, you don't get a rego refund. It happened to me and that's when I started paying quarterly rego even though it's a bit more you won't lose it if something like that happens. Can't wait to see videos from NZ and Cape York! Have fun!
Hey Steve, thanks for supporting us mate w really appreciate it!
Now there is a great insight that myself and I’m assuming a lot of others wouldn’t think about! Cheers mate very true! Thanks legend!! 🍻🤙🏽
@@SarahandKeelanTravels In WA if your car gets written off or damaged you can always hand your plates into DOT and get a credit for the months of the year that you have not used.
You get a credit in QLD
Don't ever justify what you spend on anything or what you should spend on things.. just keep doing you! love everything you're doing together guys, and I've been here since the start, I think that sometimes I was the not the first (damn it) but close to the first to comment on what you were doing. Excuse me if I say,.... fu@k the haters or naysayers. you show us all that is going on with your life, your budget and your sponsors and what they are willing to give! Keep traveling and keep giving us great content! Love you both because you're beautiful,.. yesssssss,.... even you Keelan! LoL

Great, punchy video, authentic and enjoyable.
We have just returned from a Motorhome trip around the North Island.
It was one stunning location after another. Everyone was super friendly, food awesome.
Pretty sure you will have a similar experience, I continue to follow you to share your experiences.
Keep up the great work/show! 😊
Back when i found out that my favourite youtubers dont really earn much from views, but every view helps, i started going on their channel and just playing videos while im working on my 4wd or even when im asleep, so they get just that few more views. It costs me nothing since i have unlimited internet, and if its a way i can help i may as well 😊
Youll know if ive actually watched a video when im awake cos ill also like and comment haha..
Hope to see you two around someday, till then happy and safe travels to you both!
Thanks for the support Lexi! Thanks for all the views means a lot thinking extremely kind people like you have our back! Cheers legend

Hey guys, great vid as always. Next Q&A put the taxation issue on the list of questions. I know Patreon income etc is taxable but it would be nice to know what deductions you qualify for like claiming depreciation on Percy & Keith, fuel costs, and whether you can claim accom costs as well. Enjoy NZ. It will be a great experience and I’m looking forward to all the Kiwi episodes!
Hey Ian! Always bringing the well thought out ideas to the table! Standard mate haha 😂 great idea, in fact I think we should start paying you for these ideas haha 😂 I’ll have to state at the start of the video : disclaimer this is not financial advice hahah 🤙🏽😂🤙🏽

Thanks mate!! Appreciate this sort of comment, keeps us on the right track! Thanks mate 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
Luvin ur stuff guys, I only recently came across ur channel searching solar stuff & found ur 12v solar rookie mistakes vid, I guessed u musta been a sparky, anyhow been doin some binging of ur adventures since, keep it up. Cheers
Gday Evan! Thanks for that mate and welcome to the channel!! Glad your enjoying the videos! Feel free to share them with your friends!!
I need to raise this and I am sure others would agree. This channel is great. The advice which is presented on this channel is always helpful. Especially, around batteries. They have a good following and down to earth. What pissed me off is some smaller channels get free vans, paid sponsorships and make it look like they paid for everything which is misleading. This channel is the real deal. Just recently I went van shopping at the caravan show here in Melbourne. I notice a caravan brand posting photos of a nice couple, and their channel everywhere. This was a big brand name. And recently they have again mentioned that they are upgrading their van next year. They just recently purchased a 2022 model! And at a cost of 140k plus, they don’t make that type of money on TH-cam or sponsorship deals! After a little investigation, I noticed they upgrade every year. So this tells everyone they get free vans! But on the channel they said they sold their house to buy everything which is BS.
I don’t think that fair on channels like this. Keep up the good work guys
Hey Alek,
Thanks mate, when we do product reviews and promote things on the channel we actually use and test (punish) the products for some time before we actually promote it and say if it’s any good. A lot of channels unbox a product they have never used then Tell us to buy it with there discount code which we arnt about! We are set on never promoting crap that we don’t personally love and believe in and every product we show we would be happy for our family to buy and use. In regards to vans, we are brand ambassadors for Urban Caravans, like I said above we have tested and punished this van so we are comfortable to promote it because we 100% back and believe in the brand. We 100% DO NOT get vans for free, we paid big money (3 house deposits) for our current van and we are looking to upgrade sometime soon to something bigger ( again not free in any capacity) we saved extremely hard for 3 years before travelling so comfortable amount in our savings to do this! Plus we make some money with TH-cam and affiliate discount codes to the brands we love and believe in! Hopefully this gives you a bit of insight. Not sure what “caravan deals” everyone else has but if they are getting free vans they must be bloody good you tubers haha 😂 cheers alek
Keep up the great episodes guys! We look forward to your NZ adventures.
Thanks Lisa!! 🍻🤙🏽🍻
Another great video guys, well done.👌

Thanks mate!! Appreciate it! Up the Prado
Awesome video, you both are so laid back and that appeals to a lot of viewers. I agree TH-cam is a lot of effort for the monetary reward but it's about the passion and helping others out 👍😉 Enjoy NZ, it's on our bucket list one day 😀
Thankyou! Appreciate that! It’s all about helping and if people like your videos and the person you are then you’ll get rewarded with comments like these! We are just trying to inspire others!! 🤙🏽😂
Great work guys, Love your honesty,

Hey guys, I have just discovered your channel! I see you have a Grab Me Gear sticker on your car - do you use his gear? Jimmy is our mate and neighbour 😊
Love your work, and the humility you have in this video! Keep it up 👌🏼
Hey legends!! Yeah we love Grab me gear! Jimmy is a legend! Small world! Makes the best equipment! Thanks legend!! Glad you enjoyed it! 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
Great to hear the truth about TH-cam, thanks for sharing and have fun in NZ!
Thanks legend
I think that the thing that a lot of people forget when asking these questions is how much you forgo in terms of incomes if you were doing your normal jobs.
Fair to say that a teacher and tradie will be making good coin when you include all the benefits that are available, certainly way more than you are getting now and without the capital costs of all the equipment.
Keep doing what you're doing as I don't have any issues with it and I'm big enough and ugly enough to make my own decisions.
Thanks for the video.
Hey mate that’s it!! Time/income equation was far more favourable in our normal jobs!
However the happiness we have gained from working for ourself and all the perks of being your own boss is epic!! 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
Thanks mate
You compare a teachers captial costs to a tradie? What you just think we have a cheap ute, $500 rusty trailer and a bag of hand tools?😂
I think it would be pretty comparable really,
A teaching degree cost around 40k maybe more now and I reckon between tafe fees and all my tools and crap I would be close to that!
Although comparing a electrician with there own business and contractors license that would be a blow out as you have a Ute (like you say) tools, over heads, insurances blah blah it would be around 200k before you even quote on your first domestic contract! Big money
@@SarahandKeelanTravels Depends on which trade. I guess I was pointing at a lot of the equipment needed is custom and you can't buy off the shelf. Trial and error setting up vehicles maybe more then 1, welding to mount all ur gear. All that stuffing around plus it's expensive. Time off work to do all that. Good channel by the way have only watched half a video will get through a few more!
Love the openness,love the channel living the dream guys , seen the Great Ocean Road pic , not far from me , keen for ya NZ vids 👌
Thanks legend!! Loved the GOR was amazing, one of our highlights of our trip! Cheers mate 🤙🏽🍻
"We won't blow out your candle to make ours brighter" ❤️🔥 it guys 👍
Glad you liked that one mate haha 😂 🤙🏽🍻❤️
Keep working hard and living your dream guys. Life is a challenge but if you follow your beliefs and love what you do money will always follow. Wishing you the best in your 1M subscriber giveaway.
Thanks Ryan!! We will mate!! Cheers for the kind and positive comment sometimes these things keep us going! Cheers legend ❤️🍻🤙🏽
Awesome stuff Guys, Going to NZ, How bloody exciting , look forward to your content, Charge the drone battery's up cos ya gonna need them, Onya's 🍻🍻🍻
cheers Andy
Thanks Andy!! Think the drones going to get a bloody work out that’s for sure haha 😂 cheers mate 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
You guys will ❤️ NZ!!!!!!
So good that you are doing the South Island…but then I am biased as I am from Christchurch…..🤪
So many beautiful places to explore….
Not sure what ur itinerary looks like but many people go from ChCh to the West Coast, via Lewis Pass…..and check out the Hot Pools at Hamner Springs on the way…..
Then once you hit Greymouth you need to also check out Punakaiki (Pancake Rocks)….so amazing!!!!
The West Coast is such a rugged coastline….
People then head down towards the glaciers, Franz & Fox……this is where a scenic helicopter ride would be epic!!!!
Then across to Queenstown, Wanaka and Te Anau and Milford Sound……you have to go to the Southern Lakes District….it’s soooooo stunning!!!!
Then that drive back up to ChCh through the McKenzie basin is stunning…..you might need chains though….
You can call in to Mt Cook on the way….it’s a bit of a drive off the main drag but totally worth it….NZ’s highest mountain…..
The rest of the drive up to ChCh is stunning…the lakes that are part of the hydro electricity scheme are stunning….Lake Pukaki & Lake Tekapo….
Kaikoura, which is about 2& 1/2 hrs north of ChCh is a gorgeous seaside town, great surfing too…..lots of seals on that coastline…..
Nelson is also worth a visit, at the top of the South Island it gets the most sunshine in the country….which is a big deal in NZ…..plus you can head out into Marlborough Sounds on a boat from there…..also very beautiful….
From Nelson it’s not far to Motueka & Kaiteriteri beach…..so beautiful….
Also Abel Tasman National Park is there…..some great walks and you can go kayaking as well…..
Far out, I’m making myself homesick 😳
Have a fabulous time legends!!!!
Looking forward to yr NZ eps
Sharon!! Thankyou haha we may aswell throw out our itinerary and just use this one you have kindly typed for us!! I’ve screen shotted this message so will refer back to it on our trip! Thankyou for the time it took you to type this for us ❤️🤙🏽🍻
Ha ha! Yep that’s a pretty good itinerary 🤪
Have a blast!!!!! 💃💃
Thankyou 🍻🤙🏽😂
Been following you guy's for a while and love your vids. Enjoy New Zealand my daughter and family live on the Sth Island in Cromwell if going there check out the Stocker Room everything is cooked in wine barrels, and also visit the Warbirds museum on the way between Queenstown and Wanaka, or do a hot lap at Highlands race track Cromwell. If still in Victoria we live on the Gippsland Lakes at Metung and feel free to come and park up at our place and visit this beautiful part of Victoria
Thanks for the support Jennifer!! Really appreciate it!! Thankyou soo much for those suggestions will chuck them on our list! Cheers legend 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
That’s an awesome video, thanks for being honest and it is definitely hard work what your doing a lot of people don’t understand until they try and do it. Great work and keep it up 👍
Thanks legend!! I’m sure you know how much effort is involved hey! Thanks mate 🤙🏽🍻
@@SarahandKeelanTravels yeah sure do , last year’s trip nearly broke me 😂😂😂
Hey guys, love the honest feedback. You both look like healthy living people. I would LOVE to know how to eat for $80 a week for 2 people. What on earth can 2 people eat for $5.71 each per day.
Well done guys.
Thanks Bob!!

That is soo cool to hear!! Exciting times for you legends! Thanks for watching and supporting us!! 🍻🤙🏽
Have fun in NZ guys love your work. Ps . I’m sure you know but make sure car / van is super clean coming home or you’ll be cleaning it over and over and or paying for such . Very strict quarantine rules .
Hey mate Thankyou!! Great tip! 🍻🤙🏽🍻
😂😂😂😂 that raw pure no frills attitude is what keeps me and Rene watching.
Sarah you are amazing and any kid that you have ever taught can consider them selves privileged.
We are gobsmacked to hear you are going to visit our little brothers. Kiwiland is amazing, only been there once my self, it was a blast drinking 72hours straight with half of Hamilton 😂😂😂😂
I did not know you were doing a Q&A………..I do have a few questions 🙈🙈🙈
Thanx for your hard work, and its real love and understanding that make you two work so well……been there done that got the stretch marks 😂😂😂
Love your work and cant wait for the next video and see and hear your opinion of Kiwiland.
Cheers
Johnny&Rene
Hahah thanks mate!! Good to hear because no frills attitude is easy for us haha 😂
100% mate, sarah is a gun teacher!!
Hahaha what a bender mate I’m sure you felt it after that haha drop the questions in mate and we will answer them!
Thanks mate! Can’t wait to show you guys what we get up too!! 🍻🤙🏽🍻
How did you cope with the quarantine of the van? Its insane cleaning to do and when coming back to Australia.
You guys dont do no2’s in your van……so where do you do it? 😂🙈
Please give more info on your new internet system, cost, model, installation, speed etc something Rene would want.
Thanx guys, hope its not to personal 😂😂😂
We got around the quarantine rode block haha you’ll see! We use facilities mate, and if we are in the Bush we would dig a 30cm hole and bury it. Hope this helps mate!
