“A junkyard car gives two free spirits a love story and adventure of a lifetime.”
No one ever thought I would amount to much and the reality is that my life didn't really begin until someone pronounced me legally dead. ~ The Peace Love Car
What would it be like to live a life of true wanderlust?
A life where home is 28 square feet inside a 1988 Ford Festiva, and your days are filled with travel, teaching, and spectacular adventures. Meet Sam Salwei, Raquel Hernandez, and the Peace Love Car - two charmingly talented wanderers and their trusty (if quirky) steed.
The Peace Love Car is one-of-a-kind. A solar panel on the roof provides power for the fridge, the seats fold down into a bed, and the oven under the hood can cook you a perfect burrito. It custom-built shocks bear 1,500lbs of adventure gear with nary a squeak (OK, not true), and it has transported its occupants with moderate reliability across almost half a million miles of open road.
But friends, the Peace Love Car was in it's last days.
Due to a rusting unibody, the PLC had only about a year to live. As a final farewell, Sam and Raquel took the vehicle on a 45,000-mile tour of North America, crossing the continent 7 times and visiting all 49 states and most of Canada. Along the way they met an array amazing people and pushed their bodies (and relationship) to the limits in some of the most beautiful locations on Earth.
Here’s the thing - they filmed all of it…
Filmed in 2014, The Road to Wanderlust is a film about travel, love, communication and the unimaginable connection that arises on the open roads.

Wow. Very inspiring video. I’m so surprised why it doesn’t have more views and likes. It’s not just about the car. It’s also about finding purpose in life. Learned so much and how a couple have found comfort and happiness without the need of luxury or comfort. They’ve traveled and had more fun than most Americans making $100k a year.

Thanks for the kind words Joe. We are happy you enjoyed our video, it was one of the more challenging things we had done. The footage spans 9 years (2005-2014) so it was quite the job to dig through it and tie it together in a concise message. With the car dying we wanted to create something that could live on forever. If you can please share it with your friends. Every view helps our simple message live on. The www.PeaceLoveCar.com was our home till 2017.

Hey Sam and Raquel! Awesome meeting you today. Just watched this video it was so inspiring! We could all learn lessons from this. Mine is to be content in the place I am with the things I have and knowing happiness doesn’t have to come from things. I loved this. Hopefully we can catchup with you guys again while you are still in town. Marcus

Hello Marcus! It was our pleasure to meet you! We had to run sooner than expected after the event. But we come to CO quite often. Hopefully we can catch up on our next visit.

Heyy, I appreciate this video so much. I have a kia pride, which is the asian variant of this car. Everyone keeps telling me to let it go, but they do not understand the love I have for my car. I am now slowly restoring it. Safe travels!!
@Yogaslackers
@Yogaslackers Год назад
We definitely understand the love for a classic micro car! And not wanting to let it go. We did had to move to a different vehicle, due to rust in the unibody. But... we kept the year! We now live and travel on a 1988 Mitsubishi Delica. Nothing wrong with 'old'. Enjoy the restoration process and may your vehicle bring you many more years of joy.

I wanted to see how you built the roof-rack. The only thing I wanted to see here. We had wanted to build one for one of our 6 Festivas we had over the years.
@Yogaslackers
@Yogaslackers 2 года назад
We used electrical unistrut... Just welded it together and bolted it through the roof. Hopefully that helps.
