This week, we take a short break from travelling in our self converted campervan in Europe (specifically France) to make a different video all about our lives as digital nomads, working remotely, and what you all seem to be most interested in, what it is like to be a travel vlogger, making YouTube videos from our van. Is it actually worth it? Could we live off of YouTube revenue alone? And what does Emily actually do?

These are all topics we’ve discussed in the past in Q and A’s and livestreams but we thought we’d try to make a video that actually SHOWS you our daily life, what we do to create the content, and how we balance our two jobs whilst living in a van.
We hope this video helps to answer your questions and is perhaps interesting to some of you, let us know what you think of our day in the life of being a van life travel content creator in the comments!

I haven’t included the wildlife filming kit as I believe if you want to go down that road there’s probably far better options out there now, the kit I use is designed for photos and about 7 years out of date. When I can upgrade mine, I’ll let you all know what I go for then, but right now I’m using a Nikon d750 with a sigma 150-600mm C lens.

Hopefully you are enjoying this European travel series as much as we are and we are managing to show you just some of the stunning landscapes that France has to offer in this French travel vlog.
As usual, we have tried to include a bit of everything, some cinematic scenery mixed with our usual female van life foolery, we always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let us know, and as always, thank you for watching!

Follow us on our journey as we attempt to create a proper youtube travel series as we, two female travelers and vanlifers, attempt to travel across Europe in our rolling tiny home.

  1. Have you checked out Base Camp Foods located in the UK? Do you have a clear screw on lens cover to protect the lens? Your creativity in making videos is extra outstanding and know it takes a bunch of work to get everything in order and correct when editing. So do you need anything to help with making your fantastic videos? Like SD memory cards or what every? Thanks Louise and Emily for making another wonderful adventure travel video. Have a wonderful day.

  2. Hi Emily, hope the three of you are ok. Observed a couple of things here – you made us realise that your days are almost military, the ‘ridiculously unnecessary toilet scene’ made us smirk but also cringe a bit – ha! Walking past the camera and then walking back to collect it must drive you insane……..can’t you train AJ to do it? I guess we all now appreciate the content and footage a lot more and why you’ve got 80k subscribers, I feel lucky to have been there at the beginning. Roll on next Sunday. Stay safe girls, regards Reg.

  3. I'm just thankful you guys share your lives and brighten my days, so thanks you guys. Have you considered fitting star link to your van for uninterrupted internet? A few of my offshore boating mates have installed it and they love it. Be safe, be happy guys.

  4. Wow that was a great insight into what it actually entails and how hard you both work. It certainly comes across as your videos are very professional in comparison to some other channels. It must be hard coming up with new ideas of what to film etc. Besides, even if I wanted to un-subscribe, I couldnt live with a fairy death on my conscience!

  5. It`s a great channel, informative, interesting and we get to see some places we may never have thought of visiting.
    The other benefit is that we can say we get to see you and your Fanny in complete innocence 😁

  6. Hey from South Africa. Yea people will never understand the process behind it. So awesome to see your process behind it, we also have a YouTube channel sharing our vanlife stories. Thanks for sharing 🙂

  7. Very interesting thanks girls , I love what you do and really enjoy watching your stories unfold, answer to your question no I could not do the YouTube thing it looks such hard work thank goodness you both enjoy your jobs .

  8. I adore your videos. I don't care about the title or thumbnail: iWatch them all. Emily, I've recently enjoying chicken Calabrese for dinner -keto version. You could easily substitute eggplant or tofu for the chicken to make it vegetarian for yourself. Grill your protein in 26:37 olive oil and a touch of balsamic vinegar, remove when cooked, sauté one or two garlic cloves minced, add 12 cherry tomatoes cut in half, sauté 3 to 5 minutes until soft. Add zucchini [spiral cut], cook for one minute. Transfer to bowls, add protein and mini mozzarella balls.

  9. Really good vid explaining the setup. Filming and editing to a good standard takes time and as I’ve said before your production values really are high. Keep it going.
