We are Linnea and Akela. In May, 2020 I purchased our 2016 Ram ProMaster, Togo, to become our full-time home. With this van build, I am using my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a campervan BY THEMSELVES and ON A BUDGET, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work.
Our goal is to inspire individuals to chase their dreams... to break from societal limitations and live the life they truly desire. And, to GET OUTSIDE!

non of this work is easy, drawers are very complex for a newbie... a big pat on your back for all you have taken on... you go girl!!

@juliec5309 3 года назад

The last 2 minutes had me tearing up when your were talking about your journey. You rock kiddo. Your parents must be so friggin proud of you. Hope you have beautiful journeys in your gorgeous van

@buffalobill5526 3 года назад

dam those drawers looked better then the ones i got at ikea. you did awesome.

@hollyleavitt1378 3 года назад

Omg I literally do a little happy dance everytime I get a video notification for you! You are so sweet and real and I have learned a ton! I am not at the van stage of life yet, still have three kids at home. But one day this is the dream! Keep going girl, you got this!

@PatrickandArthur 3 года назад

Same! It's the best!

@Vryga 3 года назад

Omg, I need to say, that I literally cried watching this (and also the pocket lights episode). No joking this is the richest and beautiful in emotions series about building a van. One day, I hope I will do it as well, and I will be able to go through all these beautiful emotions, ups and downs, and this awesome pride of making this on my own. Good job girl! I'm really looking forward to every episode and I also keep my fingers crossed that you won't stop posting when the build will be done.

You're so amazing! The joy you show when something like the drawer locking closed is fun to watch. Keep it up!!!

@katieh3236 3 года назад

More than happy! Extremely intelligent, amazing video trimming n editing, and humility

@dianelosson9579 2 года назад

Every day my treat to myself and my dogs is to watch one of your videos. I LOVE you, and Akela and your brother Noah and your Mom. You are amazing! The first video I watched with you and Akela running around somewhere in a forest-I kept “praying” oh be careful please God keep them safe!! Now after watching a dozen of your videos I’m more confident in your ability to stay safe, paying attention to your instincts. I could be your Grandmother but I’ve always had the same spirit of adventure and followed it. God bless you and Akela and be safe.

@shellyray2416 3 года назад

Great job!!! Those cabinets look professionally done. 👏🏻 Seriously they do. ***I love your bloopers at the end!!! 🤣😂😘

@phillipraskosky9466 3 года назад

Linnea, I only recently came across your channel and I am beyond impressed with your winning, preserving attitude, your confidence, your ability to accept mistakes and grow and learn from them. You videos are well produced, entertaining, educational AND very inspiring. Peace, thank you, and enjoy your journeys!

@Madders23 2 года назад

@parrybeach1 3 года назад

I'm really impressed and inspired by you. Cant wait to start my own van build. Only found you on here yesterday and can't stop watching. Thankyou.

@ryanDogAdventure Год назад

On that drawer that was to narrow, I did the EXACT same thing! Hahaha. It’s nice knowing that others make the same mistake… I mean our custom touch!

@gbkeyes 2 года назад

After watching this video, I had to subscribe. As a retired cabinetmaker, I think you did a great job. On a kitchen project late in my career, I made every draw er box an inch too wide because I forgot about the drawer slides! So I can relate to mathematical errors. But I wound up with some nice storage boxes. You have a courageous spirit and you're developing useful skills. Keep it up, Linnea, and thanks for the videos. Give Alela a scratch behind the ears for me.

@sarahm1534 3 года назад

I had a nothing-fits-and-this-is-horseshit build day today and watching you yell at your drawers was oddly soothing 😌😌

@Madders23 2 года назад

Linnea, you are my inspiration. I get my van in a few months and I’ll be watching your videos as I go telling my self ‘I can do this’ I’m always saying I don’t need a man, I want to prove it, just as you have. You are such a lovely person, you are a dream to watch. You must be brimming with pride with what you’ve achieved. I hope I get that feeling when I’m doing what you’ve achieved. ❤️
