Formerly the "Life + Van" Podcast, Taylor and Krys are part-time vanlifers holding up a permanent residence on the West Coast of British Columbia. After moving into their van in 2019 and the world shutting down quickly after, the couple spent the next year travelling locally in Canada, meeting incredible people within the nomad community. Seeing an opportunity to highlight these traveller's stories and to share insight into their own journey, Krys and Taylor started the podcast. Now, after almost 2 years, the duo is continuing to host guests, share adventures and answer your Q's on their show

#25: Why We Left Vanlife Behind, 3 Month Vancouver Island Recap + Why You Shouldn't Monetize Your Hobbies
New year, new Where We Wander episode (new podcast name, woohoo!) Lot's of fresh starts going into 2023 and we're so excited to take you on the journey with us! In this episode, we revisit our 50hr+ drive from Ontario to British Columbia with our van, our 3 cats and everything we own crammed into it. I share my successes and failures as a content creator and I think made podcast history on our show by crying for the first time?! Things really got THAT emotional. We discuss the realities of turning your hobbies into full-time gigs and why that may not actually be a good thing... We cover it all this week.

Customer Reviews
THE BEST POD
Krys connects with everyone so well and actually has fun!! I love listening to the casual conversations and getting to know everyone on the pod. By far the best van life content out there 🤘
Gotta Sub to this one!
These are a couple of great young folks who are willing to take you on their adventure! Follow them on IG too of course!!!
It’s a chat with your soul-friend
When you’re living on the road, it can be a little lonely sometimes. Krys is a one-of-a-kind human bean that helps people feel less lonely, and when you listen to her podcast or follow her on the gram, you’re gaining a friend and a supporter. She opens up conversations that make me feel all the feels, and her quirky remarks make me laugh so hard! Thanks Krys for putting your time into creating a beautiful thing for my lonely ears to tune to. :,)
