The Reality of Vanlife | ALONE 2 Years 

I am probably in the minority, but I honestly enjoy watching the more mundane things like laundry, grocery shopping and dining in a different city. It strips away the veneer of tourist sites and shows a snap shot of everyday living in these cities.

Aloha Ryan - Only someone who is secure, confident and at peace with himself is able to live this lifestyle. There’s so much “glamorization” of van life but you keep it real which is why your subscribers are growing in numbers I’m a slave to the 9 to 5 and your videos are therapeutic for me. Thank you for all that you do & remember you are never alone, you have 150,000 plus on this van life journey with you ❤️

Thanks for the videos man I can’t put my finger on why I love them exactly. But just seems like your not bullshitting anything I guess is the best way to put it. Appreciate it You help me get through days when my anxiety is super high over some dumb stuff.

I'm in Europe ... and there are times when I thought I was doing "it" wrong as most VLOGs are so different to my reality on the road. Thank you so much for cheering me up.

i love that you show this type of view for van life !! gives us a better perspective on how life actually is for people who don’t live in a house and are constantly traveling :) it’s a huge difference and honestly so impressive to see you survive on the road in just a van 😊 I love your videos thank you for bringing us along your adventures!

Love your “reality of Vanlife”videos Ryan. This should be a series. The story without narrating brilliantly shines through with your excellent editing skill. Props! 🙌

One of the best videos you've ever made man! Love that you're willing to show the more realistic, vulurnable side to day-to-day life on the road that so many won't.

Man I felt bad when the bottle spilled. I kinda understand how ppl who do van life feel but not as hard as what I seen some have had to deal with. Love the videos excited to see how the rest of this trip goes

I imagine it can get pretty lonely sometimes with no one to talk to looks like you keep yourself pretty busy . I enjoy your videos and your channel is growing quickly 🙂

I was already subscribed, but this convinced me that my subscription was a good call. I loved this: the silence, the mundane, the day to day, etc. Life isn't always these crazy huge moments, and it's often the little stuff in between. This video highlighted that. Keep up the good work!

Still seems a lot better than my day at work. Awesome video, the silent, no talking vibe was pretty cool.

What seperates you from these other on the road off grid videos is that you are real. You show just how it is and don't hide the reality. You don't seem fake and thats a big plus. If you need a shower or have use the restroom you or not shy about it. Your cooking is real and the way you present your lifestyle is unique and appears honest. The first video I watched of you pulled me in as I thought it would be boring and unreal, but it was natural and enjoy to watch. Keep it up.

I am really glad you show this side of van life as well as all of the other adventures that you have. I traveled with my wife and kids for a few years in a camper and there were a lot of days like this. Things like going to do laundry can take a good chunk of your day. And even though we are pretty close there were definitely times that we did want some peace and quiet or time alone and it was difficult. We aren't traveling at the moment but we do think about going back and doing it again. We learned so much and were able to see so many things. Great work on your videos.

Absolutely love your videos Ryan, great job. Have fun and be safe

Honestely i think this could be 100% my Lifestyle. Exploring towns and nature while staying in the Van and making some Money working Remotely. Looks like thats the perfect escape from our broken society

Loved this silent videos that you put out ,it is so soothing to the ears.

I truly appreciate your outlook on Vanlife. I’m mesmerized with your way of living. Just watching brings me peace.

props to you for taking the time to work out and take care of yourself. Thanks for the great content!

I respect the honesty. It has to get lonely. Stay safe out there!

I like these reality vanlife they are calming and relaxing to watch, love your channel, i discovered it recently, I come back daily to watch some of your old videos if there is no new videos, great work!

This is my favorite side. I could watch this every day. It is real and it is raw. Thank you.

Love these reality of vanlife videos! it really resonates with your audience quiet well, this is also very asmr like in feel to it. you really get to see whats its like and i love that. keep going dude i wish nothing but success for you cheers!

Not gonna lie I wait and leave all the videos from the week and binge watch them, I honestly can't get enough. Never stop being you 💞

This looked more like life than Vanlife. Same stuff everyone else does but you happen to be in a van. I think this is a wonderful reminder that Instagram vanlife is one instant of life on the road. This is the stuff that happened in between well composed, color corrected pictures or short videos. Glad you posted this 👍

I've lived in my van 70/30 for 4 years, travelling for work. If it wasn't for the 30% spent at home i'd have gone insane a long time ago. Really enjoy your vod's as it shows the reality of van life without the instagram bullshit you get from 90% of other accounts. Keep on keeping on mate 👍

Nothing out of the ordinary here. You're doing the every day mundane duties of someone living in a camper van. There's actually a great sense of simplicity and satisfaction of doing things like laundry, washing dishes, running errands, filling up your gas, dumping your grey water and putting in fresh water, etc. Visiting a different city/town/area every day is what it's all about. You might be "alone" but not necessarily lonely. There's a difference

omg i wouldnt ask for more, the amount of silence and peace.. here u got a sub.. u living my dream bro, safe journeys to you..

Bro i really appreciate you putting out videos!! Keep up the great work and i really hope this journey of yours rewards you in so many ways that it makes you want to keep on doing it.

Omg I love these watching someone do things throughout their day type videos ❤️❤️

Thank you for all your videos!!

I love you and your videos man. I feel like a part of your family when you vlog

Omg, outstanding,,,, living my dreams,,, you are the only one who are showing us the real life of a van, I mean daily routine, ❤️💯

Thanks for sharing Ryan. Love it all man!

Something so calming about you ‘keeping it real!’

YEP this is what it is! Great video. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us! 🙂

Very insightful. Thank you so much for this honest angle of view 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for another video. Keep them coming! Travel safe and stay healthy!

Exactly what my van life is like. Frugal life with no large overheads and plenty of freedom. Joy!

Wow, I really like that coin saver you have there. That's pretty neat. Stay Travels and Ryan have a blessed one😯💯🙏☺️

So peaceful though. The freedom that comes with this is a dream.

Thanks for sharing. Van life probably feels a bit mundane or lonely at times, but there’s something about this lifestyle that is so attractive to me. From my perspective I didn’t see anything bad.

Hey Ryan, I am a new subscriber. Just wanted to say I really like watching this style of video. Thanks for making it. Safe travels

Thank you making reality content. Life isn’t always rainbows and sunshine, and that’s okay. Wishing you save travels

Great videos Ryan! Love every second 🤟 Safe travels mate 🚐🎥

The quiet van life videos are my favorite.

Looks like the best part of vanlife: a slow basic needs lifestyle where you can appreciate every day and every little convenience ❤ thanks for sharing

So peaceful!

Awesome thanks for sharing your experience

I Also can see with going state to state, in different time zones, away from family and friends, so the scheduling and situations must to difficult, to have that balance of everything. Love the videos man keep it up 👍

Great cinema this video. You have a real talent for this video thing. Subjects, videography, editing, music and sound. The whole thing. Amazing.

Been there done that. A really great adventure still has the mundaneness of real life. It’s all about perception. Have Fun Ryan!

I look forward to your videos everyday!!!!

Loving the videos I always get excited when I see the notification pop up!

Hey Ryan I love ur videos whenever I feel bored ur camping vlog makes me happy and u earned a sub 👍

Love all the content, keep up the good work.

Your channel is growing a lot since I've subbed. You're going to hit 1 million soon enough. Love your videos.

There's something pleasant about your videos. Most things online are people glamorizing their lives. Posting clips of the best and funniest and most awe-inspiring moments. Its quite, dare i say healing, to just see life from a real life perspective. Reminds me that while there's exciting moments and cool experiences, life is more about making the mandane pleasant and enjoyable. Not about how many countries and vactations you've been on

That sneeze at the beginning ❤

Love this Ryan

Such a chill video

Love to watch your videos. Keep up and drive safe

A lot of the best parts of life happen when we're alone. Sometimes even the people with everyone around them are the most alone. Take care and be careful out there.

Thanks for keeping it real.

Congratulations on the 150k subs! Keep it going ❤️

Seems like a chill ass day tbh

Great series, I hope you make more.

It's A:: GOOD RYAN....Things work themselves out! Stay Happy!

Dude I can not stop watching your videos keep it up

When the bottle tipped over, I felt that

LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN!! Especially after being a single mom taking care of three sons for the last 30 years!

and hes getting ready to do it again!

Ayyyy, you were in El Paso!!! That quick wok is down the street!!! I hope you enjoyed passing through!

I don't know why, but this video is so relaxing.

These are soothing videos too. Keep it going.

Honestly its no different than what i do on my days off at home . I think there's pros and con's to everything. Got to take the good with the bad. But i definitely would like to live in a van . I absolutely will too , but i do think that life isn't for everyone. I knew people who lived like that and couldn't do it. I think that's why i like your videos , they just seem normal and just being you. Keep up the videos 🤜🤛

Love watching your videos. I unknowingly said bless you to my screen when you sneezed. 😂

Day in the life. thanks for sharing.

I wasn’t in a van, but I had a pickup and a small (19 foot) travel trailer. I spent two summers (seven months each) traveling the West. I had a great time but sometimes it was a long time between interpersonal interactions. My daughter called me one day and I told her “well this may be a long phone call, because I haven’t talked to anybody in three weeks”. I’d spoken to people, but I hadn’t really had a conversation with anyone. 😂

Thank you for the videos love I just catching up to the rest of the videos been busy the last few months with 9 to 5 but it really helps and I want to definitely do a camper van one day

3:55 aww i coulda saw you taking him home and all the fans loving the mutt

I like your lighting. People never show how much maintenance there is in a home on the road.

Really like these videos... Like them more when you talk in them though and you explain whats going on... Also like it when you start with the typical 'Good morning' :)

Oh the van shuffle, you have to move things to use things then move them again and again. Hurts especially if your a clutz like me. Been there done that. Miss the hell out of it. Remember, the van is where you live not your identity. Focus on your next highest joy bro, You got this!

Kia ora Ryan from New Zealand. Enjoyed this episode. Routine down packed. Catch ya later!

I like the idea of being in my own thoughts… this less publicized version of vanlife is exciting to me. I am more an extrovert than not, by a slim margin… makes me curious if I could do this full time. Ryan, if you read this, you’ve inspired me to have an open mind to this weird lifestyle choice. Safe travels!

Go Terps! Your videos are awesome

Live your life my brother. Nice

@Ryantwomey can’t wait to see your videos everyday Brother!

Greetings from Singapore. Love watching your videos. Keep it up and stay safe... cheers..

Every time I get a notification that this dude uploaded I stop everything what I’m doin to watch

New subscriber, first video of yours I've watched, it was great!

Love it! It's great to show the everyday stuff you do as well. Just curious, what do you do to keep yourself entertained on your long driving sessions? I'm sure it gets monotonous sometimes. Keep up the awesome work!

Looks like paradise to me

Ryan, have you ever considered getting a metal detector? It would come in handy on beaches and desert areas, or if you get really bored. BTW, loved your MRE video!

Keep strong!

Love the content brotha!

Doing all the right things Ryan. Need a limo window in that sliding door 😎
