Description:
We’re Derrick and Paula from Ontario, Canada. After getting married in the summer of 2014, we decided to give up our apartment, move into a camper van, and travel across this magnificent country of ours for our honeymoon. Upon our return, we decided to keep it up a little longer to save money and continue living a more simple life… Then, fast forward 2 years, and full-time van life helped us save up for a little house and a piece of land to call our own. And now, our focus has shifted to building a self-sustainable lifestyle, where we grow our own food, get back to nature, back to basics, and Back To Reality. And we sure hope you’ll join us! :)

11 months ago, we embarked on a coast to coast to coast road trip across Canada, for our honeymoon. We visited every province and territory except Newfoundland, Nunavut, and PEI. Over the next three weeks (and before our first anniversary), we intend to rectify that! In this video, we prepare to leave for a three…
We seem to get a lot of questions about our toilet, and especially how we were able to use it throughout an entire Canadian winter. This video should hopefully answer all the questions you might have. (bloopers at the end)
In order to survive an entire Canadian winter in our camper van, we needed to insulate the windows and seal up the air conditioner. But, now that it’s spring, it’s finally time to open everything up again!
