good morning everybody we are back in Vancouver gearing up to head down south
to the States and we thought today would be a chore day because well the van
looks like this yep you know it's bad when like there's pants under the
pillows bathing suits on the bed little random pieces of garlic on the floor
garlic he's been there for like three days
every time I I picked this garlic up I put it up there into the hammock and
let's just go flying right out good morning best buddy hmm
are you surprised to see us here I'm a runner you're a runner yeah I'm a runner
you went for one-run last night yeah every other week or so he decides he's
gonna get in the best shape of his life and he takes these "before" photos so I
have all these photos on your phone there's probably hundreds of before
photos and you... does anybody else have the same problem??
give me your phone no come on I have to show them no I'm not showing them it's
so funny cuz you stand so like this like I'm not showing them until I have an
after photo okay we're gonna show you guys when he's got the before and after photos but
yes for today we're gonna bring you guys along because yes we live in this van
and sometimes it gets a little crazy and today is just one of those days to clean
up your life I'll say this light is just this is this is the kind of stuff I'm
talking about it's not just laundry and stuff it's about this light that we
installed that is brutal and doesn't stay up see that's our light strip
hanging dishes we need water we need the whole kit and kaboodle should we get
going
should we get going yeah first task of the day pulling out
the laundry so this is the secret place where the elves come and pick up the
laundry abou I'm mind blown that's and the wrong question mind blown but we're
gonna answer for you today so don't worry so yeah we're really thankful that
when we were that's a lot of black and right that's
because it's not everything where's not see exactly then you go
around the van picking up this sack Wow you've never done laundry you still know
that oh I just slept under garlic if you guys want to join me on the new running
movement I'm gonna link my Strava below which apparently is running app I don't
have it yet and you can join the crew and watch me do these hardcore two three
four caves well I'm starting just with time apparently that's how you start
running I watched KC's video on it and would love to have your support so we'll
see you on Strava we've been doing lots of hiking lately so these are the hiking
socks I almost feel like they can't I think they have to go in their own
separate thang nice another gnarly you sure there's nothing that needs washing
in this man I'd have you made me cereal thank you though
I wasn't gonna turn the camera on my face because I put some tumeric stuff on
my spots but can you guys see all that I think we're good never close for luck
buddy you literally just felt like this now
that I know what's in there your bathing suits Tony's washing this big sweater
that green shirt is clean yep yep
so light load number one it's been set dark load number two is been set
what's all this
and the other tips you got from them the laundry is a cookin I've got it all in
the dryer now and Anna and I have been working in this cafe which is just a
curse from the laundromat and I thought because the dryers almost done I would
clean up the inside of the van really don't know how much of this is boring to
you guys and how much of it is kind of like oh I didn't know you did that so I
was going to show you where we throw our garbage basically just in public
garbages it's got garbage and that timer for the dryer just went off so let's go
check on the clothing stop
300,000 no t-shirts no nothing 300 the kind lady working there was nice enough
to loan me her basket so we're doing two loads hopefully only how many of this
into the cupboard I don't know how to say this in Fahrenheit but it is 33
degrees here in Vancouver and being in the city when it's hot is a whole or
ballgame people all right thought I'd show you quickly my organization or not
to organize things this little guy is all my undies a man built that for me
and I super love it this is normally all my tanks so I try to roll them up but
you can tell everything was really in the wash
so all these tanks will go in here this is normally just like bathing suits and
my like onesies pant suit type things and then obviously this is all disaster
but pants are my go here shorts tops god I speak so easy the door was open and
everything and I turned around you freaking spook me you spook me did you
order some lunch for us yeah thank you sir
and then where we headed heartland organ are you so excited yeah
it really happened out of my seat for this one you you don't normally get that
amped up are the moves no I don't yeah it's gonna be cool cuz you're not
expecting it yes yes exactly I love when I travel places and I have no
expectation it's something I learned really early on in travel was I would
see something or watch a video or see an Instagram photo and think oh my gosh
that place looks amazing I I want to go do that exact thing and then you almost
get disappointed when it's not that exact thing whereas if you have no
expectations and you go in just with a super open mind which is what I've done
basically for the last five years everything is awesome
so no expectations Portland but you better be awesome so that's what the
drawers look like when they are nice and Pug I've actually done an entire
wardrobe tour so I'll link that here and you guys can go check that out because I
think I'm done with clothing and laundry and all that kind of stuff when I'm sure
you're bored of it the line to get into America has been a lot bigger than I
guess some usual you've been sitting in my probably our
podcast well I'm next in line can I call you
right back
always a pleasure coming to your country America you really know how to make me
feel special I left my bag here which is rickie
mistake and I went back to get it and the guy was like such a dick about it
he got all excited and told me to step away from my vehicle and go back inside
right now and Becca ran into a lovely person who didn't give her that heard of
a time so it wasn't a big deal as maybe 15 minutes
they took my lemon and our green onion buddies upset they took our lemonade
cream on me so with our border crossing delay we realized that we were coming
into Seattle at about 3:30 4 o'clock which equals tons and tons of traffic so
instead we've stopped just north of the city in Everett and we're going to go to
a little coffee shop that Christian Aubrey has brought us to before just
vlogging through an intersections a little awkward but
thank you we've decided that we're gonna head to Seattle got our priorities
straight food is number one yeah Benji go but a
big thing that we don't have at the moment is water so we're gonna keep our
eyes peeled for a place I hope something to fill up and I know I supposed to kind
of show you chores and things like that but you know Torres just get pushed to
the side I don't have any dish soap life's a mess two of chores to be honest
we were really lazy with our chores yesterday which is why we need to do a
day two we have no water we had no soap such a gamble they're trying to fill up
something that you can't see a it's just it's okay and then if you put this in it
overflows but I'm usually we just restocked on some dr. Bruner so we use
that for our dishes and for washing your face at night okay now when you just
need water it's always a surprise so we've had a chance to go to the gym we
got shower Davao Oh No we've been driving and driving and driving and we
cannot find a hose anywhere there is like a storefront too so so I'm
just gonna knock and see if it's cool no dice it's off no one's that shoot
rolling rolling yeah the pharmacy say Shh hey bro can I borrow your hose okay
good luck where did he go I think it's closed
looks like you might have made a friend a great success sir boy is it very nice
and now I smell like a marijuana vodka mm-hmm I'm pretty stoked I hope this
video has helped answer some of your everyday questions about van life the
chores that we do are the exact same chores that we would do if we were
living in an apartment but maybe it's not always as convenient we don't just
have running water so I get where those questions come from but I think my
answer is always just put yourself in the scenario of being on a road trip and
what would you do to get those things and it's probably the answer that we
would give you anything else to add my last from the outside of the pharmacy
where we would be chopped in Oregon I don't know why it turned on this string
this is not even Estrella this is just a wee little end screen to show you how
lovely our home is when it's all clean we've got water we've got soap we just
had about chocolate the house is so cute makes me love it so much it's like a
little chilly outside the beach is right there
kisses on the lips
