Vanlife adventures in Mexico

While camping in Potrero Chico, Nuevo Leon, Mexico (a world-famous rock climbing spot), I found the camping spot La Pagoda just outside of El Potrero Chico Park. I was camping there in my van Marshmallow when I met Sky and Lilli. I could tell they did an incredible job on their van build, so I asked them if it would be ok to do a video tour of their build, and they said yes!

Check out the video to see their setup, tips and tricks for a unique and practical build, and the answer to the question “How do you go to the bathroom in a van?”:

My vanlife experience

For me, vanlife is a means to freedom, and the ability to bring your home with you anywhere you go. It allows ample time to explore the great outdoors and do the things you love best while seeing the sunrise, sunset, and sleeping under the stars. There’s no greater freedom than the open road and a portable home, allowing you to call any beautiful spot yours for the night.
