Isabelle and Antoine are a couple from Quebec who decided to live their dream. Both 36-years-old, the two left their engineer careers behind, sold everything they had, and went on a traveling adventure in their four-wheeler. Their journey began two years ago, back in 2017 when they moved into their van.

“After almost 2 years on the road, we still fully enjoy being nomad,” the couple shared on Fubiz. “Because our travels focus on mountain biking and backcountry skiing, we’ve spent most of our time on the west coast of North America; the riding possibilities are endless there! We keep a journal of our travels and we published a few guides on how to live on the road here.”

Drum roll………. NO LEAKS! ???? . The very back of the garage (especially near the floor) can sometime freeze during winter, so we shut-off and carefully drained the @eccotemp shower, the bike wash and all the pipes in the garage. We didn't add any antifreeze, hoping we drained all the water properly… looks like it worked! ? . ➡️ More info about our water system (including a build diagram): faroutride.com/water-system (link in profile) . The van is now in summer mode: – Hot shower is on; – Bike wash is on; – The winter gear is back into the off-season boxes; – The boot mat is away. . We get, like, 3 extra square feet of living space and it's a game changer in here haha ? . Bring on SUMMER!! ? . . . #vanlifers #vanlifeideas #ProjectVanLife #vanlifemagazine #vanlifediaries #vancrush #vanlifedistrict #vanlifeexplorers #vanlifemovement #vanlife #minimalism #vanliving #vandwelling #vanconversion #selfbuild #camper #campervan #camperlife #campervanlife #homeonwheels #adventuremobile #vandwellinglife #offgrid #tinyhouseonwheels #tinyliving #livingsmall #homeiswhereyouparkit #lifeontheroad #spring #summer

It was 0F (-17C) that morning, staying in bed and drink coffee all day sounded like a better plan than going skiing… Turned out to be our best day out there with a bluebird and plenty of untouched powder ?❄️?️ . ?: Isabelle getting ready for ascension: "Cheque's In The Mail", Duffey Lake. . . . #vanlifers #vanlifeideas #ProjectVanLife #vanlifemagazine #vanlifediaries #vancrush #vanlifedistrict #vanlifeexplorers #vanlifemovement #vanlife #minimalism #vanliving #vandwelling #vanconversion #selfbuild #camper #campervan #camperlife #campervanlife #homeonwheels #adventuremobile #vandwellinglife #offgrid #tinyhouseonwheels #tinyliving #livingsmall #homeiswhereyouparkit #lifeontheroad #roadtrippin #nomad

The calm before the storm. . With over a foot of snow on the forecast overnight (up to 2 feet according to @findopensnow , hope they're right!), tomorrow should be pretty epic at @shamesmountain. . Today is rest day in the ski-hut-on-wheels! It's time to restock on energy and plan for our week. ? . . . #vanlifers #vanlifeideas #ProjectVanLife #vanlifemagazine #vanlifediaries #vancrush #vanlifedistrict #vanlifeexplorers #vanlifemovement #vanlife #minimalism #vanliving #vandwelling #vanconversion #selfbuild #camper #campervan #camperlife #campervanlife #homeonwheels #adventuremobile #vandwellinglife #offgrid #tinyhouseonwheels #tinyliving #livingsmall #homeiswhereyouparkit #lifeontheroad #ford #fordtransit

Hey hi we just wanted to say thanks. Thanks to each of you who take the time to write comments on our website. Such as this one about our Electrical System Guide: . "The approach you have taken to design your electrical / mechanical services is very well done and thorough […] your design and execution is on point and professional level (not just your everyday DIY regurgitation of thing you have read other people say). Additionally, you have done an amazing job of making this technical information very consumable and user friendly. […]" . We're NOT fans of oversimplification. From YouTube tutorials up to first-world countries president way of thinking, it unfortunately seems to be a trend. It's intellectual laziness to think that everything can be reduced to good / evil or that every problem can be reduced to a 5 minutes YouTube Epic Guide video. We tried to avoid falling into this fall-pit when we built FarOutRide website. It meant we had to present all the pros/cons of solutions; it meant we couldn't pretend we had the ULTIMATE guide nor that we could pretend our van conversion was the best out there; it also meant we had to be transparent if we made mistakes and changed our minds once on the road. Going this route was not ideal to build an audience and wouldn’t elevate us to as huge Social Media influencers… Despite that YOU GUYS showed up, trusted us as one of your references and followed us in our travels. We might not have the biggest audience, but we have the most awesome that’s for sure! We prefer it that way. So, thanks. Thanks for using our website; thanks for doubting and questioning us; thanks for choosing different solutions than us if you judge it’s better for you needs: we like to see people take decisions based on knowledge rather than anecdotes. Oh, and thanks for leaving awesome comments on our website; reading them is the best way to start a day! ? . . faroutride.com/electrical-system (link in profile) . . CHEERS!
