About us:
After meeting in New Zealand back in 2017, Beth and Jake have travelled the world, working online and creating memories.
Beth left the UK in 2014 and has been travelling full time ever since, she is the owner of www.sheisthelostgirl.com and has a passion for writing and photography.
Jake has been travelling since 2016 and during this time has perfected his photography and videography skills. He is adventurous and has a passion for the outdoors.
Having lived in various countries around the world, we decided that instead of settling down, we'd build a tiny home inside a van.
We've never done anything like this before, we have no building experience, no electrical experience, and no plumbing experience.
This is a huge learning curve for us and we welcome you to join us in this challenge.
Our Wild Horizons documents a journey of continued adventure.

Great filming, better than Netflix on a Sunday afternoon thanks
Thank you so much!! :) Hope you've had a lovely weekend :)
Entire landscape for me. I would recommend adding Donegal, Ireland to your list of places to travel in the van, some incredible views, hills, lakes and people!
Ooh we'll put that on the list! We are hoping for an opportunity to come over on the ferry some time this year (if possible) Ireland looks magical! Donegal looks wild, perfect, just the way we like it. Thanks for tuning in :)
Looks amazing. The desert never fails to surprise
It was a fantastic place to explore around 😊 Thanks for watching!

It was such an amazing surprise, we didn’t expect it to be that epic!

Fantastic views great vlog 😀
Thank you Natalie!
How beautiful, I also look at the full view and get taken aback by the overwhelming beauty from the best viewing point. Then I do love to look at the smaller details as I walk around. xx
You get to enjoy the best of both worlds then :) Thanks for watching!
I'm very much into an epic large landscape with beautiful light.... Enjoyable video... Thank you..
Yes, and great big mountains swallowing up the scene too! Thanks for watching John!
Incredible video as always you two 🥰🤩🧡🚐
Thank you so much guys! Hope Scotland is going well :)
I live here. in níjar
Brilliant! Do you enjoy living there? We loved our few weeks we spent in the area, but it was in winter and didn't get too hot at any point..
Just wow now on my bucket list :)
Thanks David, it’s an amazing place well worth being on the list!
Well that is some extreme social distancing taking place there! And I did chuckle imagining Jake running alongside the van🤣 xx
It was perfect, just how we like it! :)
Wow! What amazing scenery! Working on those film sets must have been incredible. Thanks for sharing this with us. I definitely focus on the epic landscapes first and then hone in on smaller details x
Thank you Sarah! That would've been amazing filming there, but in the summer it reaches 40 degrees!!
Another great combination of being lovely to watch and yet interesting and informative - well done 👍 😊
Thank you so much for watching another one of our videos 😊 hope you are well and staying warm xx
Great filming!
thank you!! :)
Superb video with thoughtful commentary. Well done you two, I can't wait to see these places👍
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Wow!! Amazing filming, editing, and I love all the facts you shared about the desert, so cool! I definitely like seeing the bigger views, but love appreciating the little details nature has hidden when you look close 🏜
You get the best of both worlds then! I (Jake) need to start enjoying the little things to as they are what make up the big thing! Thanks you for watching Sara! 😊
Thumbs up ere' guys, amazing area and one I'm still exploring - enjoy your trip - many thanks for sharing - stay safe :)

Wow!! I am really like in a time machine of old Spegetti Western Movies!!! 🎬 😍😍 Great videos! Thanks a lot for making such type of Beautiful videos! I always wait for that!
It was such a wonderful place to visit and definitely very interesting to see the filming locations. Thank you so much for watching 😊
You should check the other desert also in Spain "Bardenas Desert" truly amazing
Ooh it's on the list for when we return!
Hi guys! Just found your youtube channel! So nice to connect as fellow vanlife youtubers :) You're having a great time in Spain still? Love from Leon and Monique in (currently) the Netherlands
Thanks guys! Spain was amazing and it was such a joy to be able to escape the English winter months. How were the Netherlands this winter? Thanks for watching :)
Great video guys, they keep getting better. Stunning desert with magnificent views. Loved it but bet it's cold at night 🥶
Thank you! The first night we were there we woke up with ice on the windscreen, but luckily our blankets and hot water bottle keep us cosy enough.
Love it guys!
Thank you! :) :D
Nice one for the video Jake..... Really enjoyed that..... Beth - Great shot of the stags !!!!! I notice you are, like me, left eye dominant with the camera...... Not many of us are for some reason....
Thank you for watching it Richard! Ooh I haven't ever noticed that before. I wonder why it's less common?
WOW
Thanks Chloe!
I was looking some information about NC500 and I found YOU guys. Another fatntsstic episode 👍
Oh thank you so much! Delighted that you enjoyed the videos :)
I went to Tabernas a few year ago alone. Lonely time lol
Oh no! We loved it, you'll have to go back with some people and enjoy it properly :)
What a stunning views you captured via drone.superbbbbbb....Keep it up n good luck. Love from india 🇮🇳
Thank you so much! Ah we'd love to visit India some day!
@@OurWildHorizons-JakeAdv always welcome. India is a great country.the country were you can find sea, sand and snow. You are always welcome to india. Have a great and happy journey.👍
Beautiful looks like our deserts here in Arizona minus the Saguaro cacti. And the rattlesnakes
wow really thats so interesting! we would love to visit the US one day! But I don't fancy the rattlesnakes :O
Thanks for watching :)
Amazing guys. This desert is on our list for when we arrive in Andalusië (now in Alicante) 👍
Thank you! Hopefully by the time you arrive here the nights will have warmed up!
@@OurWildHorizons-JakeAdv is was cold here as well the last couple of weeks haha. Luckily Temperatures will rise the coming days 😃
Awesome Job! Loved the narration, music, videography and drone work!!!! New subscriber, Hello from the United States 🇺🇸
thank you so much!! so glad you enjoyed it :) Wow! you live in an amazing country, we can't wait to visit one day :)
Guyyss this video is epic, the drone shots literally look like an oil painting its wild!! Ook we defo have to make a trip here after watching this haha :) Jake running next to the van really made me chuckle, was that the part you kept laughing at? x
It was like a painting! I still can't get over how amazing the place is. You must make the trip out here. Reggie would love it too, running through the dried out rivers beds.
Yes, that was the part hah, we liked how dramatic the music was and then there's Beth driving nice and slowly while I ran next to it ahaa
Love it!! Although I might recommend slowing down for some of the cinematic shots, I want to take it all in! :) And that shot of the stags is breathtaking
Ah we'd love to show more! It's always a battle between keeping the shots on for longer and boring others who like it faster or being too fast! Thank you so much for the kind words!
yay
thank you for watching :)
Great vlog! Thank you. Can you tell me what music is used for the first 3 minutes?
Thanks! It's called - Skye (Bach Violin Partita No.3 in E Major Bmv 1006) We found it on MusicBed :)
This video is SO WELL DONE!! The scenery is obviously gorgeous, but I’m incredibly impressed and envious of your editing skills!! How do you have such stabilized video while you’re walking? Is that something you do in post-production?
Thank you so much Ellen! We actually use a gimbal for the shots which have a lot of movement or when we're walking around. That's how I'm able to keep the footage smooth, especially since I like to do a lot of follow or panning shots. Very happy to hear that it's appreciated!
watch out for those catterpillars !!......MANNNNNNN this was outstanding filming....I almost expected Obi wan Kenobi & R2-D2 & C-3PO and Chewy wandering the paths and a few Jedi starfighters coming over head..or DUNE (hum you may not of heard of the Dune films/books)..This music is sooo beautiful , reminds of the lion king and now im singing Hakuna Matata... :) ......ar that made me smile the list of animals...AND HEDGEHOGS...just bumbling along the desert...i love hedgehogs....I love the intricate details..as always peering close to things but the vasteness & beauty of this planet often blows my mind to be honest :) This was epic..and thanks for always sharing your adventures and you inspire many people with your talent & gentleness.. Big love guys :)
They sound scary don't they!!
Thank you so much for the filming compliments, it did feel like a set out of Star Wars! Hopefully we won't come across Jabba the Hutt without Leia to save the day! I have seen Dune but Beth has no idea what that is, time to remedy that I think!! Did you know that there is a remake coming out later this year??
Unfortunately we didn't manage to spot any hedgehogs, maybe they're in hiding or just camera shy...
Thanks as always for your kind words on our videos!
@@OurWildHorizons-JakeAdv hahaha...yeh wait for Leia to resurrect before ya go looking for starwars guys ..hahaha !!YEAH man Dune...hopefully end of the year...seen trailer & Timothee Chalomet is main guy...i really like him, theres something quirky unique about him..i like that in people...and the music theyve made a cover (shame) Brain damage/eclipse, Pink floyd...AMAZING track & lyrics....lookin forward to seeing it !! hedgehogs are quite shy aren t they...hey Thanks to the both of you for sharing your amazing talents and keeping some good vibes in the world :) big love *X*
which part was the funny part for you? the clip of Jake running besides the van? or you jumping over the little river bed? they both made me chuckle.
hahaha Jake running beside the van! we must have looked like the goofiest weirdos!! :D hahaha
Hi guys. Do you have to pay for driving into the mini holliwood with your car?
No, you drive through their car park and up a road which heads up towards the mountains, which is free 😊
guns blazing 🤣🤣🤣
:D So dramatic!!
I hope spain can adapt what China did to their desert which is now one of biggest forest project in the world.
That would be very interesting if it could happen!
Was that Clint I saw?
Yes it was, haha! Traded in the retirement for a life in the big red van!
Hey guys! I sent you an email via your blog the other day but perhaps it slipped by you by? It was about your roof window, air circulation and whether its ok to sleep with just one roof window open? The email will have been from Sophie May :) thanks! ps nice desert!
Hiya :) thank you! I’ll have a search for the email! I’ve had a few problems with the blog lately as it’s almost full capacity and I haven’t paid for extra space yet 🙈 So when I do that I’m sure the emails will come through xx but I’ll have a look now! We don’t sleep with the windows or vent open, we have so much air coming in through the bottom of the sliding door because at the moment it has no rubber seal 🤣 We can see daylight through it so kinda treat that as a vent 🤣
I do believe the vent we have still allows air through even if it’s not open :)
@@OurWildHorizons-JakeAdv Thanks for such a speedy reply! Not ideal that you have an unintentional vent but also indeed quite handy hahah. But so when you designed it with the one window you were confident that you'd get enough air from just that? I also think its fine, but I juuuust wanted to double check because I feel you guys did a LOT of research so you might have a inside tip there :) Thanks again for all your AMAZING tips and tricks, I have like 50% of your build series saved in my "van build tips" list haha
Yes we did know that the airflow would be fine :) and when we are cooking we open the door always as well as having the vent open :) as for sleeping; we’ve lived in quite a few vehicles now and this is the only one with a vent, so we knew that one would be fine for us 😊
@@OurWildHorizons-JakeAdv amazing amazing amAzing, this is great news! Thank you so much for your wisdom!
Well, there's some kind of spiders that can turn your hand in to a baseball glove also
Ouch, didn't know that. Hopefully we'll stay clear of them!
Mates, there's no stags or any other deer in Tabernas... Those things were ibexes... totally different type of animal. Also, don't mean to be nasty but it's not TA bernas. It's taBer
Damn! Bloody keyboard!
I meant to say taBERnas.
Other than that, great video. Been there lots of times over the last 20 years and it's such a great place.
Ah now we know! We were just so excited to see them. Thanks for the heads up on the pronunciation too, we had to guess as we’ve not been speaking to many locals this time! Appreciate you take the time to watch our video, it was an place!
Processionary caterpillars are vicious little buggers and can destroy the mouths of dogs.
thats terrifying!!! :O I didnt think about how careful dogs need to be around them :(
People mention "Spain" like if all Spain was the same, and sorry, but there's so many different places to see in Spain, is like if you compare the north of Spain with the Balearic Islands, nothing to do wich eachother.
Exactly! We loved our tour around Spain and saw how beautiful and versatile it all was. We managed a quick visit to Picos de Europa which was so different but still incredible. Thanks for watching :)
@@OurWildHorizons-JakeAdv go to Baleares Islands, Menorca.

That’s the one!! 😊
We are traveling to that place next week :-)
Hope you had a great time!
