Living full-time in my rolling tiny home has been the best decision of my life. Off-Grid living offers a peace and connection to life that you just can't explain. When i first started van life i build a stealth camper van with the mindset the you had to live a stealth van life and i soon discovered that you can just live the city van life and boondock in the countryside and as long as you are respectful of the backcountry and cities you live in. Stealth van life in not necessary. Be proud of the life you choose to live, Share this van life journey with everyone. Remember Tiny Homes and The whole tiny house lifestyle is very popular and #vanlife is no different. When you don't hide it people will come say hi and ask you questions. The world is more curious than hateful. Well......Welcome to my everyday van life adventures. My name is Chrome Valdez and i travel full-time with Cruz the bulldog. Stay weird everyone and thank you for being here.

GM Chrome. Why no fridge?

@VANCITYVANLIFE 2 года назад

Because I turned my entire fridge freezer into a big freezer because it’s full of frozen raw dog food for cruise. Once he has eaten half of it I’ll turn half of it back into a Fridge

I am disabled too and dream of an ambulance build. Last night I dreamt of my ideal vehicle. Don’t know if it’s possible to do…… Hybrid engine gas/electric with solar power for charging when there is no ev charging station available. Just a dream

Man! When you said you were going to a “park” I was thinking a little grassy spot with some swings and picnic tables. Wow! You definitely live on Heaven on Earth, brother! And that Cruizie pouty face at you when you came back was priceless! Way to stay healthy and positive, Chrome!

@mstimpson03301 2 года назад

Thanks, Chrome, for that lovely walk in the forest. I'm a retired New England lady dreaming of getting on the road soon. But due to bad knees & ankles I'd never be able to do trails like those in Vancouver. I sure appreciate the scenery on your walk and all the vanlife tips you provide.

@patdavis8018 2 года назад

I absolutely love the rainforest. Canada is so damn beautiful.

@rickinnes 2 года назад

What a treat seeing where I hung out growing up . If you turned left after crossing suspension bridge and follow trail , it takes you to Crystal clear pools that we swam in and cliff dived . Excellent job !

WOW ! Cruz is eating very well ! In a pinch you could cook some for you !! Have you thought about a wagon for Cuze to ride in on your walks ? Or a back pack ? That would give you a work out for sure !! I've seen dogs in strollers too ! ❤

@klw8771 2 года назад

Cruz looks SO Pissed in that shot after your walk LOL. He reminds me of Winston Churchill..lol! Thank for showcasing our beautiful city so nicely Chrome, especially the North Shore where I was born. Such a great place; mountains meet the ocean with rain forests galore!!

I've just discovered your channel. My husband and I are Aussies and have had to put on hold our trip to Canada. We're living vicariously through you these days. Started at the beginning of your videos then jumped to this one. Wow impressive at how far you've come. I see you have another dog now. Poor Disco obviously crossed the Rainbow bridge. Keep up the amazing attitude and stay weird from South Australia 🇦🇺 🐨

Glad to see Cruz walking around and doing better. Bless his sweet heart. Those suspension bridges were SO COOL, and the waterfall. Stunning! The last place you walked to was so beautiful. Nice shirt you bought yourself from the giftshop Chrome. You mentioned patches that you ordered, and beings your new shirt has patches on the sleeve; sew one of your patches on there. It would look great!

Yeah I'm scared of heights too but you can definitely push yourself to do things you normally wouldn't. When I was in the Army when I was 18 years old you had no choice to do anything except to do what they tell you to. You get over it quickly though once you know your safe. Awesome video Chrome. I think I need a hot dog right now. LoL 😆. Love ❤️ you guys.
