    If you’re new here, we’re Tom and Iz, a couple who have been living in a van for the last four years. We’ve explored Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Romania and the UK in our little home on wheels, our Ford transit van named La Bamba. If you missed any of these series you can check them out in our playlists. We recently got back from a 10 week trip to Nepal (without the van), trekking in the Himalayas. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC3wFE2cgjPJea1bAePdmbFM5AiztWz8z

    After that we did an Epic UK Van Life series where we pushed ourselves to our limits in the great British winter. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC3wFE2cgjPI94IgOISP5_lnDCIGhYFiH
    We wanted to make the most of the UK winter and enjoy it’s beauty. Now we are traveling as far south as we can in our van, come and join us each week ๐Ÿ™‚

      Greeks always complaint about their poor life, relentless street protests and so on… and those awful fires.. very hot there, once I have been on June it was 46

      Cooking pasta with gas in the back of the van while boarding a ferry. Thatโ€™s just wrong. People are watching this video and could copy you and get hurt.

      About travelling: Its great and necessary, but one cant travel all the time, one needs regular life, routine, work, friends. All that, til its time for the next holiday/travel. And so on. Ive known people who won lotto, financially secure for life, bought dream house in the sun moved, and were home 3 months later, bored, missing their friends, missing their countrymens mentalit/sense of humour. Travel is a holiday, not a permanent state . Now they take 4 day breaks here and there, and always love coming home.

      Hi there…..what a Cliffhanger at the end of the video! Whats next, did you get the land ….so excited to see the next video ๐Ÿ˜‰ have fun you both

    17. Killian Curran on

      Good luck. It sounds like Ireland, if so Fรกilte, and best of luck and hope all goes well here. Great vids from all the countries. There is so much to discover inland in Ireland, and not just around the coast. You will have plenty of time to discover the 'real Ireland'. Good luck once again.

    19. Karl David Recycling on

      watching since the start lads love the idea of yous coming back to Ireland you have loads of friends (fans) here in Ireland so youll smash it if its what im thinking lol

    20. John Clankie on

      Hey guys, what suspense, canโ€™t wait to see what you are planning?? Please send the next chapter๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Cheers Mike๐ŸทYassa๐Ÿฅ‚

    25. Trevor Smith on

      We used to holiday in Greece 35+ years ago in 'quiet' tourist areas and absolutely loved spending time there. So nice to hear of your 'plan' to put a stake in the ground, at least for a while, you guys are so considered. so hard working and so deserving, really hope it works out ๐Ÿ‘

    27. Kameron Hammond on

      Hitchcock would be proud of you . . . da na .. da na .. da nah . . I love you baby . . . and if it's quite alright . . . great decision! You will never regret it. With 'star-link' you can live anywhere! No such thing as physically remote now-a-days. I sincerely doubt your two hospitable Italian lads will survive though. I hope they take plenty of photos in T-shirts :- )

      Have said before, love your channel, love your content. I honestly think you should have a โ€œ$โ€ button to allow people to give a one off contribution to your work. ๐Ÿงก

    32. Richard Murphy on

      Sounds like you're heading here to Ireland! You guys and Francesco, Cebe, will be very welcome – 12 coastal acres, sounds like we can pitch a tent! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Hope it all works out – if you need any advice drop us a DM!

    35. Jim Owers on

      Hey Tom & Iz. Cool vid as always. May I wish you both the very best in whatever you decide to do, what to and where to buy? Deliberate and choose. Best of luck guys!

    38. GWR The Gardener on

      Perfect. Absolutely beautiful. You guys are way better than you, YouTube, or anyone realizes. Keep going, you will get what you deserve. Love you guys!!โค

      Omg are the Italians burnt with the sun ,maybe sunstroke , well if they never want this to happen again they are making the right decision moving to Ireland lolol but seriously they could do worse ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‘

      Really hoping this works out for you – sounds like a fantastic opportunity – but as you said – most importantly – you have each other and, by the way, a world of subscribers who really enjoy sharing the world with you. Fingers crossed!

    47. David Jones on

      Wonderful video…I really enjoy the speaking to camera pieces where you share your thoughts and dreams, and still get great shots of where you are! Brilliant. Been following yoh for ages and admire.your courage and attitude to life. Fingers crossed the next stage is fantastic for you. David
