We are Linnea and Akela. In May, 2020 I purchased our 2016 Ram ProMaster, Togo, to become our full-time home. With this van build, I am using my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a campervan BY THEMSELVES and ON A BUDGET, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work.
Our goal is to inspire individuals to chase their dreams... to break from societal limitations and live the life they truly desire. And, to GET OUTSIDE!

Wow, your amazing. Your beautiful bright shiny soul surrounds you, it grows even brighter with your family. God bless you sweetheart
Thank you so much for this ♥️
A very Blessed moment for your mom:: Sunset & water & Family who could ask for anything more ….
😊
You're a good storyteller, videographer, editor and have a good sense of humor.
What A cool, peaceful log....lol. Anytime spent with family is wonderful❤
OMG, that end scene caught me off guard!
I love Florida. I absolutely love how you are so close to your mom and brothers. You are a very special woman..❤❤
As much as I enjoy the van life videos, This vlog style video was Amazing ! 💜
WOW, that water is beautiful and that Manatee was just magical. So lucky to have the chance to do this. All the best in your endeavours.
Thank you, I feel so lucky too!
Which part are you visiting?
Me everytime I see a white van: "maybe it's Linnea and Akela!"
Also me: "Nah, she'd never come to Florida" hahaha. So precious!
Haha and now I am in love with it!! So many things to explore!
Your videos Linnea have inspired me to set off next Sunday 1st of May with my mini campervan and my dog Jimmy for a 12 month trip around Europe. Thank you for making me realise that this is all doable. Please keep inspiring us!!
Mom was right!!! The sunset was magnificent! What a fun time you are having with your family!
Ok now I’m crying listening to that song with your family watching the sunset, I want your music.
Your mom was right, that was a beautiful sunset. It looks like you have a very special bond with your mom. I miss my mom, she's been gone now for over 27 years. I'm sure you cherish the moments you have now with your mom. She seems like a "fun mom", my mom was a fun mom too.
You have a beautiful and amazing life, fulfilling all your dreams and with your special co-pilot, Akela, she's such a cute and well loved baby. I had a black and tan German Shepherd, we volunteered on a search and rescue team, I had to retire her in 2012 and she passed away in 2018, I had a very special bond with her. I'm so happy to have found your videos.
I love that you have such a beautiful family dynamic…just enjoying each others company. Akela was so adorable
I just love watching your videos. I am a fellow van lifer. Traveling the east coast. You make things look so amazing. Id love to learn how to do videos like you do. I've watched a lot of van life videos and yours are by far the best. Your amazing❤ thank you for sharing
Now we know where you get your sense of humour. Gotta love the mum! Cheers from Canader eh!
Good stuff!! Ok, I need to use Shazam to see the artist and songs from the videos. If you ever need a dog sitter I'm in.
What a beautiful, fun family. The entire video was amazing, but I confess that Akela and the manatees were my favourites. 💜
That end scene was epic. You're hilarious!! 🤣
It’s so special to see families spending time together and enjoying each other! Loved the fishing. Great adventure. Thanks for sharing! 🤙
your mom in slow-mo made me think about my mom in slow-mo and I about cried! Such beautiful moments! I really appreciate your videos. At times when it's hard for me to enjoy life, you really remind me of things I am grateful for!
Akela looks so happy to be there
I had to pause the video, it was so beautiful it made me cry. HOW DOES THIS HAVE ONLY 2K VIEWS? I have just seen another side of your videography skill set that is stunningly gorgeous.
I loved this it brought me joy and a smile thank you for sharing your life hun.
Your mom is so cute! You have a great family...(my favorite is still Akela ;)...and looks like you all have so much fun. You’re still my favorite channel! Love 💕
The music you pick it so beautiful and haunting!! Love it!!
Wow my family is the total opposite of yours. I love how they encouraged the different experiences and freedoms and values you got to have and how supportive they are! I wish I had this confidence and attitude when I was younger. Love the video’s you make!
The one on Instagram with the different ways how someone makes coffee cracked me up!
Wow, great video! Seeing you with family pulls at my heart strings. Sand in your toes, stunning sunset, smiles for miles. Thank you for sharing with the world 🌎 ❤ 🐾
That was so much fun! Your mom is adorable ♥️
Thank so much for what you do! You guys make our Sundays complete!
I just discovered your channel a week ago. And today I was invited to meet your family. Very sweet. I appreciate your openness as I am more cautious. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I had a family that was close, that we shared times, motions, and love.

Hey Linnea! I don’t know how you showed up on my feed… but I am grateful and happy you did. 🙏🏾🙏🏾. I am so inspired by your videos. Keep going baby… you got this!!!!
Linnea,
I just love following your van life. You are so authentic and natural. Your videos are so inspiring to me and I love every minute of them. Thanks sooo much for the efforts you put into them and letting us share. I just sold my RV this summer because it had gotten too big for me after the kids left the house. So my plans are to have a custom made smaller one and I thank-you for all the advice you have already given and the ideas that I want to take over when building my van. I live in Germany and want to be on the road mainly here in Europe. Thanks! You have a good heart and soul!
THANKS THIS WAS A GOOD ONE.

I truly enjoy watching your content, interactions with nature, people and Akela, she's so sweet ❤️. What a great family you have. I can't wait to see your next adventure!
Okay, so now I want to check out Florida. Very sweet time with family...😊
Stunning log... I'm your Mom's vintage! Made me chuckle!! You have a beautiful family!!
Fun contrast--lots of family, different activities and terrain! That manatee was so friendly! Enjoyed meeting more of your clan.
You and Akela looked so darned happy. Many of my happiest memories are of vacations with loved ones.
Keep on logging! 😉
I love how well u put ur videos together, they r truly a work of art, and creativity...lol
The van is home, what happens outside the van is life. That what van life is. Great video. Thanks
Yes, I knew as soon as I saw the water and the springs I knew you were in my hometown, enjoy it, I lived there until 5 years ago but only moved an hour away!!!!
that sunset was insane !!
Akela and the crabs were quite entertaining...looks like you are having a wonderful channel.
Thank you! And yes, she LOVED catching crabs with us :)
Loved the vlog style video. Mom was rockin those 10$ sunnies.
Binge watching your show. Absolutely obsessed! I have booked a campervan for January to copy you. OMG So excited how you live. It’s my secret soul.
💜💚💛🧡 .... yet another wonderful Video! Sending many blessing to you ‘both’! And thank you! BTW, Welcome to Florida!!!!
Thank you! I didn’t know I would love it so much!
Your family is lovely!
Thank you for sharing!
Love your videos. Just started following you for couple of weeks. Just wanna say that. Love from me from Holland
More of this, totally inspiring to reach out to man if my brothers. Appreciate you!
This vlog is close to home bc I live in Florida and it just makes me happy your having fun with your family and Akela of course. 🥰🥰
I'm about to drive from Washington, to North Carolina, to San Diego... because Washington to Cali was just too short... friends and family is worth the cross country drive and back! I told myself I'd record more of my second van build, but I've got enough going on that I'm not video recording and editing like you...you're awesome!
Beautiful family and what special memories y’all are making together. 🤗
Thank you ♥️
So glad you had a wonderful week in Florida with your family. I live in Tallahassee but my family lives in Michigan, I am one of six children. It looks like you have a very close knit family which is rare. My family is also close. Loved watching this one. Safe travels.
It’s beautiful there. The manatee!!! That was awesome.
Akela’s open-mouth grin was my favorite part!
Solitary van life is good. Family time is better. Memories of both are the best. 😊
your editing is getting so good!
Beautiful area of FL, the big bend area of FL also has lots of nature and fishing. LOL.... We're on the Gulf?
Enjoying these, keep up the good work 😀
I love your videos, keep it up!
Thank you, Ben!
What a beautiful family! ATB
As I travel to Florida last week to Orlando i saw vans & vans and had wondered if any of them could be some of amazing people I follow in there journey in life ?
Thanks and Enjoy Florida
Six years in Neptune beach Fl. now in California, I miss florida, the only place in the states where there's only two seasons, Spring and Summer.
I live south of the Tampa Bay area and have camped and fished Homosassa and other areas of the Nature Coast. I hope that you and Akela get to explore this great state before it gets to hot and or the hurricanes pose a threat. Enjoy your videos so keep them coming.
I live in Florida hope you like it here!!
It's amazing that you did this and actually drove I wonder how many times you had to stop and how long it took when I'm just about to go sit my behind on an Amtrak train and get there in like 17 hours I love your soul I love your videos you've been helping me get through some tough times and understand myself more and love myself more
Good morning you absolutely are an inspiring person and actually I just went and bought a van or small motor home to live the van life thanks for the inspiration ✌️
Great video family time is always great you didn't keep the Cobia I love Florida to did you go over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge that'll make your knees weak I'm just above you in Atlanta Georgia been to Florida many many many times yes this was good content for the doggy I really enjoyed it😊🤗😄😉😋🐝
