Summary

This week we are joined by Christian and Aubry from the YouTube channel Minimal Millennials. 2 years ago, Christian and Aubry bought a sprinter van and converted it into their home. They've traveled across North America and Central America and have plans to take the van international in the near future. They are not the only ones who choose to live this lifestyle. If you search Van Life on YouTube or Instagram, you'll find a whole world of content that you can explore. On this podcast, we talk to Christian and Aubry about the logistics of living in a van, how they support themselves financially and why they decided to put their lives on YouTube.
