Приєднався 8 бер 2020
After meeting in New Zealand back in 2017, Beth and Jake have travelled the world, working online and creating memories.
Beth left the UK in 2014 and has been travelling full time ever since, she is the owner of www.sheisthelostgirl.com and has a passion for writing and photography.
Jake has been travelling since 2016 and during this time has perfected his photography and videography skills. He is adventurous and has a passion for the outdoors.
Having lived in various countries around the world, we decided that instead of settling down, we'd build a tiny home inside a van. We've never done anything like this before, we have no building experience, no electrical experience, and no plumbing experience. This is a huge learning curve for us and we welcome you to join us in this challenge.

I'm a writer and very grateful to you both
Great video 📹 👍 well done
This was an awesome video! We’re currently waiting for the euro tunnel and it’s been pretty easy so far Insanely expensive though $395 pounds for France and return to UK
I did mine this week the hottest day of the years it was drying as I was painting it on lol 2nd colour order gonna smash it again but gonna take my time and not rush it and get short piled rollers lol
Did it today. Husband was fine driving it just a couple of assholes en route 😂
That’s the issue isn’t it! You can be the best driver ever but some dodgy drivers out there can make it a nightmare drive which is why we enjoyed doing it very late!
Too much complaining about places being overcrowded and too many people. if you want to have things for yourself I would suggest Antarctica
Thanks for watching and contributing to the engagement with your comment 😀 Hope you have a lovely day!
@@OurWildHorizons thank you for taking my criticism for your Benifit
Thanks for sharing the video it is amazing. I am just about to visit Wales and planning to explore this National park as well). Hopefully I am gonna make the 4 waterfalls walk they seem stunning. Huge respect for litter picking as well. Well done!
This video is only used for tourist promotion to foreigners of an island that could be called anything, Mallorca, Santorini, Corfu etc. Predatory tourism doesn't give a damn about the island,population, real life, etc.
Susana, queen of ✨Assumptions✨
@@OurWildHorizons What exactly is bothering you? Does the opinion of a Spaniard bother you?
The opinion doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is the assumptions. You know nothing about what we “give a damn about”.
@@OurWildHorizons I'm Spanish, how do I not know anything? The ones who don't know anything and aren't even interested in knowing are you. You can't even respect a comment.
You’re assuming that we don’t care and that we “don’t give a danm” that is my only problem. I’m sure you know many things, but you know absolutely nothing about us.
The trobolo DIY cost $120 and with a 3D printer or plastic you can make something as beautiful as the separett tiny.
Thanks a lot for the info! You said you parked quite far away and walked all the way down. Where exactly did you park in order to go to Carezza Lake? I'm going there soon with a campervan too...
Lovely review guys, thank you. Trying to decide whether a visit in peak July is going to be worth it. Seems like a very early start will be needed to get there from Split 😕 Perhaps Krka would be a better shout. Out of interest, what would your favourite National Park in Europe be..?
Your little faces look so happy at the end haha 👍
Sooo cool.
The lamb in Istanbul is some of the best in the world1
Thanks so much for this. We too have a red van and the wife hates it. I love the finish, I think it looks like a wrap. Well done guys.
Hi. We're planning our Mull trip for July. Loved seeing your videos. What time of year did you travel? There are lots of tours available, do you remember who you used for the Staffa and Lunga? Thanks
hi
Stop ruining the island with tourism.
This is an amazing video. Keep up the fantastic and informative content!
As a local please stop overcrowding our island, it is impossible to live there anymore. Tourists and the government have ruined the island.
All those people who work in tourism
@@OurWildHorizons Locals want to have a normal life again, since the tourists and the government have ruined the island. The locals are teachers, doctors, nurses etc. and we have to leave the island, the vast majority do not live from tourism. It is also very frustrating to see how our culture and dialect is being lost to tourism.
No
What a ridiculous comment
@@J3elieve_it Ridiculous? If that is the little respect you show towards Mallorca and the Mallorcans, you better stay at home.
Hi where did you go to fill your water tank up? And did you have to pay to have the water refilled? Thanks
👍👍
Did your insurance go up or down after paint job? Mine is streaky and apparently I've lost a grand on the value (I really don't care about that - it's more punk rock!)lol but if it's decreased the value I want my insurance premium to drop, but on the other hand they might think it's harder to see, therefore more likely to get hit by another driver in a SMIDSY scenario.
Too dangerous, what if something happens?
Hey awesome vid. I am doing my van now matte in military paint.. how did you handle the last coat? Some people are telling me i need to sand it back and others that i shouldnt.. but then what about bugs etc that get caught in the drying process? Feeling a bit lost 🙈
Ι am amazed from how good is the video you made! Music, speaking, directing and sightseeing top notch! I visited Mallorca once and seen the villages but not the beaches. I am planning to visit it again in the future as it is a very beautiful and welcoming island. Well done guys, keep going! I am cheering for you!
It's a train not the train thing.
Calm yourself 😉
Major claustrophobia I think
What wood is the timber board and where did you buy it?
Spain has more blueflag beaches than most countries in Europe!
Great video. After so many years, how did it go, where there any issues regarding this type of cladding? Also did you had issues with vapor barrier, e.g. moisture, mold?
Where did you buy the piping and sink attachment from. Links and specs ?
I recently found out some of my ancestors Lachlan Mor Maclean was born in Duart Castle. He was the 14th Chief of Clan Maclean.
Thank you so much for this Video! Super nice Vibe ✨ It was so beautiful to watch and also really helpful for my trip to mallorca ☺️
Sadly no where is a hidden gem now thanks to UA-cam and Instagram.
Thanks! Very useful info/video 😍
When have you been there? :)
You are not helping the island with this kind of videos. You are showing to all the few places that the mallorquinians we have to enjoy quite and calm without massive amount of people. Locals are exhausted about massive tourism, causing increases in costs and impossibilities to live in our place without expending the 70% of our salaries in rent... Enjoy the island until destroy it and then search for another place to destroy it again…a vicious circle…
I love your colour grading <3 Any tips? Which setup did you use? Thanks for the awesome work!
Do not listen to the Motorhome hire company when they say it is OK for the +7 meter van you are hiring, it is ok for the small campers but not the XL's due to the hairpins and off camber on them which can bottom out long wheelbase vehicles leaving you stuck and the locals fuming. Use the alternate route if you want to go to Applecross or take the beautiful roads which cross the Highlands avoiding the NC500 bottlenecks.A8390 to Achnasheen then the A832 to Gorstan then back along the A835 to Ullapool to pick up the NC500 again.
Amazing trip around the island...we are also gonna do the round trip just like u guysss ❤❤❤❤
I am heading to Mallorca on Monday and this was a fantastic vlog. I love your travel style and loved the places you went! Can't wait to check these out!!
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Ok, looks great, but am going to have to save this, come back and change the play back speed, I realise most folk wont sit for long and just want to see the end products, but I need to see how you did 'stuff' like the frame and sealing between the box and cab, if the cooker is gas or electric, what the heating is, what leisure battery/s you used, any solar? toilet? etc etc ;) so 'I'll be back'' ;)
Thanks guys, just what I was looking for as you've done the hard work for us! Love the Island, don't love the overtourism...
Wouldn't it be cool if the mirror was actually a secret door to a mini cupboard 💭
My best fave part was watching the games draw go in 😂
OMG WOW! This is an exceptional build. You two absolutely smashed it and created such a wonderful home on wheels!
I've never really had Mallorca on my raider but I do now! As always, your filming and editing is incredible 😍 Such a great video!
It's a wonderful Island, especially if you find the quiet parts, it's just not all year round like the Canaries...and a few too many cyclists...
That is not scary , what is scary is a 3 motorway jam packed 70mph in the dark pissing rain , Russian roulette , ps , it is pronounced Galic not gaylic ,
