In this video we speak to Danny, who lost everything in the pandemic only to find a new home and purpose in vanlife. Danny talks about how this lifestyle has changed the way he thinks about life, the system he was a part of, and how he now only needs to work 3 hours a week to live this way.
Danny gives us a tour of his quirky van, that's kitted out with surround sound and a 'cinema'.
We also meet his new van companion 'Atlas' who isn't the 'van-dog' you usually see... but, a 'van budgie'
Thanks to Danny for sharing his story and giving us a tour of his epic self built van.

Credit to Danny responding to some of the comments with love, clearly a decent bloke. Enjoy your van life, looks good to me 👍
That's what we done 😂 sold everything, gave up work and have been living the dream for the last two years now 👍🏻. Good on you man 👍🏻 long may you live that dream sending love, peace and good energy ❤️🙏🏻
i love it when people live their life the way they want too. i'm going full time van life next year, i have a small van at the moment i travel in and will use it to live in for a year while i work and save for a bigger van then once i have the van ill go down to three days a week at work
This guy deffo has the right idea!
Really awesome build for sure.
The pandemic has really changed how people think and what people feel is most important. We are worth more then just a number in someone’s company, just working to get them richer.
The mural is a really nice idea, not seen that much at all in van builds.
Cinema idea is really great. Your budgie has a great life. If I wasn’t allergic I’d probably have one. You have a great place of the countryside to be in.
Great tattoos he has btw!
Hope things are going well for him!
Just binge watched pretty much all the videos. Been good reading the comments. As four months into my van life, I picked up lots of good tips from these videos. As my mwb sprinter is what I call bare bones. But no regrets so far. Thanks for your videos been a great watch
Great comment! It's good to hear. Thanks for watching, and I'm glad you're liking the videos 😊 plenty more to come!
Each to their own n all that but for many of us on a similar path I feel recognising that the more contented you can be with less, the closer to a healthy state one surely is.
Obviously, like everything in this myriad, its far more complex and murky for each and all in this general madness than just that.
However, with less things and requirements, naturally comes more time and space within and out.
And however illusory might that notion of time be, most can recognise the less you're having to do for another system or controlling entity that is only there to consume your energy, the more power you hold, the more freedom you have and the healthier you should feel.
Bliss buddy, keep challenging, questioning and refusing to deny your own sensibilities and awareness to a better or truer way to experience this cultural disease 👊🏼
I'm glad you're making a success of it... I'm going to do the exact same thing.😊
1:37 people paying off that mortgage for 25 years or whatever.... more like 50 years, my friend. I salute you for peering behind the curtain (to use a Wizard of Oz metaphor). As a gen X-er, who's seeing the world going to $h¡t, my faith is invested in people like this. 😊
He has a very convincing comb over 👌🏼
I love how he had a mat on the floor outside the van for wiping your feet 😁
It's the little things haha!
I like the artwork and the sniper window.
I love how he has built out his van and he has some good views on life, all the best to you!
Been in my van 5 yrs no air con with 2 huskies. Lost my boy last month at at 13 he loved van life ❤
Cannot wait to do this myself 😊
Danny sounds just like me, 2 minutes in and i'm agreeing with everything he said. Full time vanlifer here too, I can work for myself doing a job i love because life is so cheap in a van. I think a lot of mental health issues may stem from being stuck in 1 house. Think about it, we're hunter gatherers, we're not meant to be stuck in one place. Loves the vids Liveration!
As allways another great video❤
Thanks Rob! 😊
Great video, Danny is really upbeat. You really get the feeling of how much he loves vanlife😊.. so do we. 😊
Life is for living mate! Keep doing what you’re doing! 👌🏻💯🚚
I love your videos , big up guys ❤
Great to see Danny on here! My brother Ryan Evans went to school with him and I have converted a Fiat Ducato myself! Fancy a follow up video with another Van lifer from Brightlingsea? :)
Haha nice! Yeah let's do it, send us a message! 😎
Digital nomad. Not everyone can do work digitally remotely, and when you have kids they need a base. But fair play, its all good. Life in the open and outdoors is healthy
Great interview .
Good for you, I love your thinking it makes sense. All the best to you.❤
You look soo happy!! 👌🏼
Amazing !
Great video, I hope to do this when my kids are old 🎉😊
Nice and comfortable, God bless and keep you
Thank you for another great video 😎

Looking forward to watching this when I finish work!! ….. Smithy
Thanks Smithy! Look forward to hearing what you think 😎
That’s the life for me!
I want to do it sooooo much but I still worry about where to park every night 🙄
I work in the city centre. I work 3 and four day weeks. While working I sleep close to work. Luckily for me there is a big park with two car parks either side. One is quiet and tucked out the way. This is my mane spot at the moment. In the four months I've been doing this I've not had any trouble or been moved on. There are toilets and bins in the park. I work for the city council and have keys for the toilets plus showers at work. Ive even got a spot by a flood relief right on the river. But lots of foot traffic there and little privacy. When I'm not working I sleep at the beach, only 30 min drive from the city. But haft to keep an eye out for traffic wardens there. Another option is apps for van life with reviews where is good to park. They show any green spaces by your post code. It's like I was meant to do this. I consider myself lucky. All the best to you what ever you decide
Can i ask do you iwn the photo booths? Or employed
❤❤❤
Can someones please tell me the name of them birds are called
They are Budgerigars, small parakeet .
Budgies are native Australian birds 🦜
Lives a life as a free man yet keeps a bird, born to fly free, in a cage. Always makes me sad to see this
They were breed in captivity. Let a budgie free in the UK and it would be dead in no time 🙄
Since this video he has become so tame even talking words that he is never in the cage anymore, he fly's free roam in the van and 3 times a week at my partner's house free flight round the whole house which is 3 story's and comes back when called, very healthy and happy boy, lots of stimulation, toys, food and treats, he is very spoilt 💙
Do you stay at your partners 3 nights a week?
@@AA-be9rn I let Atlas have exercise a few times a week there and I stay a couple nights but only been together a month, I still sleep alot better in the van I struggle sleeping in beds and houses now not sure why, I think I've got so used to the smaller comfort being on the road and in the camper for so long
Not meaning to criticise, but there’s FAR too much clutter & brick-a-brack for my liking. Unnecessary material possessions and van-lifing definitely don’t go together…….and he’ll find that out fairly quickly if he seriously wants to be a 100% van-lifer on the road🚐👍🏻
I can not understand why he needs to have a bird in the van. 😢
You would be better served doing something to damage the system.
