just like to quickly address the elephant in my room my nasal infection
this year for Christmas Eamon and I gave the flu to each other so I'm still
going through the process and Eamon get impetigo on his nose so now that
that's cleared up we would just like to also thank you guys for being a part of
our 2018 journey woo what a year! when we moved into this van I never thought that
sharing online would bring such a positive, supportive, beautiful community
and I am just so grateful to each and every one of you for being a part of
that with us and for us we truly love you guys
love you guys a few weeks ago we were approached by one of our favorite travel
vloggers Hey Nadine she was putting together an epic 2018 where to how to
travel video and we love that idea so if you haven't checked that out it's gonna
be linked below and we wanted to reach out to our van life community members
and put together a where to travel 2019 VAN LIFE edition with four wheels there
are only so many places you can go and so it's so fun to see where others have
traveled and where our community has gone and maybe this will inspire you
guys to take the plunge and go somewhere crazy in your little home this year we
turned to our friends all across the globe and asked them where you should travel in
2019 all I can say is putting together this footage has me itching to go to
some incredible places so make sure you stay tuned to the end so you can find
out our top pick and enjoy hi i'm Theo and this is Bee and together we are The
Indie Projects and our favorite place to travel where we can't wait to go back to
in 2019 is the lofoten islands in northern norway if you're traveling in a
van we definitely recommend it it's well worth a visit it's absolutely amazing
the landscape is insane and you just love it there
hi everyone we are Max & Lee and we are encouraging you add Columbia to your 2019
travel destination yeah if you like Mexico it's like a brother from another
mother that's affordable the people are super friendly
it's got an incredibly diverse landscape and best part of all is there's a really
good overlanding community there yes it's a little bit further to get to it
but it is well worth the drive from the Caribbean coastline to the Andes
Mountains you'll see lots of coffee plantations bustling cities and
beautiful fresh lakes as you drive through we'll see you there hey I'm
Vanessa and Adam and Cedar Fox and we are Create Wondr we've traveled all
around North America and one of our top favorite places is Arizona we loved
Arizona because of all the great free camping there, the weather is amazing
and there's tons of wonderful hikes there yeah we love doing photography and
obviously videography and that's a great place for us there can be hustle and
bustle there can be the quiet of the desert and it's something totally
different for us being Canadians in that stark landscape hey guys this is Jimmy
and Sabrina from Wandxr Bus and we spent the last couple years traveling all
across North America our top van life destination is Baja California Sur in
Mexico the culture is amazing and he gave us the freedom we were looking for
of our travels we got to camp on the beach for free or up to five dollars a
night it was absolutely incredible the views were breathtaking bright blue
water and a sad on top of that the dogs were completely
free and we had no issues I think that run wide and free on the beach check it
out hey guys we are The Matneys and our favorite travel destination of this
year was Oaxaca in Mexico couple quick highlights from Oaxaca one Oaxaca
City was just amazing this really beautiful multicultural City and two
were the beaches of Oaxaca especially loved the surfing and the snorkelling
down there it was definitely our favorite place
that we have been in 2018 so we highly recommend that you put it on your travel
agenda for the future hey what's up everybody I'm Trent I'm Allie we also run
a YouTube channel we live in our self converted Promaster van and we're gonna
tell you guys that Salt Lake City is our location that we think you guys should
travel to Salt Lake City has amazing mountains amazing desert a lot of
different climates that are all very accessible to the city so you kind of
get the urban environment and urban opportunities along with all the
exciting outdoor activities you could rock climb you can mountain bike you can
water-ski you can ski you could do pretty much anything you want to do in
Salt Lake City so put it on your list you guys are gonna love it hey everybody
its Alex and Sarah from 40 hours of freedom and today we're gonna be talking
about one of our favorite places that we traveled to last year hands down our
favorite spot that we traveled to over the summer was the Banff area we spent
like two weeks in Canmore and in Banff and driving up icefields pkway and we
highly recommend it for anybody traveling because you can drive along
the icefields pkway and there's just turquoise lake after turquoise lake in
beautiful mountain views yeah so if you were thinking about making the banth
Canmore area one of your destinations for 2019 I would highly encourage you to
spend some time in Canmore and in Banff the two towns you're going to give
better cell service and Wi-Fi if you are working on the road there's business
that you have to do you can spend a few days there and then when you really want
to get away you can go to the icefields pkway and you can find one of the first
first-come first-serve campgrounds either waterfowl lakes or I can't
remember the other ones right now but there are a couple others and then you
have no cell service nobody to bug you and you're just out
nature for a few days yeah it's a great place to disconnect so we hope you go
check it out this year and now it's our turn this past summer we had the chance
to take the van all the way across the country back to British Columbia and the
area between Squamish and Whistler became our home for a good two to three
weeks we absolutely loved it there we met so many other van lifers spent our
days hiking to beautiful viewpoints and swam in a number of glacier fed Lakes
each and every day we found ourselves stealth camping beneath beautiful
mountains or remotely in the woods of all the years of travel that Eamon and I
have done together we don't often say that we would return to a place before
we had a chance to go and visit somewhere new but with BC and Squamish
and Whistler in particular I have no doubt in my mind that we would both get
in this van and drive there again tomorrow so put that on your wish list
for 2019 or in the future it is a must for us yeah totally regardless of
whether you guys have your van or something you're working towards we hope
you found this video inspiring and to shed some light on some cool possible
destinations of 2019 please make sure that you check out each and every one of
these amazing YouTube channels without them this video wouldn't be possible and
we wouldn't be challenged and excited to continue making content because these
are our van life content friends so go show them some love they will all be
linked in the description box below and I think that's it I'm gonna go to my
doctor's appointment get myself all better and I hope you guys have the most
beautiful 2019 thank you again for making 2018 so special for us see you
