Right now, our first goal on this adventure was to set a world record for most mountains snowboarded in a single season. To accomplish that we traveled all over the United States and Canada. By the end of the record attempt we\u2019ll have visited 71 mountains across North America. <em>(Editor&#8217;s note: Unfortunately they had to put their world record attempt on hold with the coronavirus outbreak.)<\/em>&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Please describe what you do for income and how much you earn.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together Frankie and I saved $24,000 over one year before setting off on this adventure. I manage the FnA Van Life YouTube channel and Hungry Health Coach website that generates roughly $200 a month in ad revenue. I also have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07YHKDXQZ?tag=www.theprofessionalhobo.com-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">ebook available on Amazon<\/a> that earns roughly $40 a month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frankie is working on building his YouTube channel (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCkdSYKpSr_wZG4Jr9iZQbNg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">That Van Guy<\/a>) but it\u2019s not monetized as of yet. Between our savings and earnings from digital content, we\u2019re quite comfortable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(See also: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/how-to-create-a-long-term-travel-budget-financially-sustainable-travel\/\"><em>How to Create a Long-Term Travel Budget<\/em><\/a><em>, and how much money to save)<\/em><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How many hours per week do you work on average?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many. We spend at least a few hours everyday editing videos, promoting videos on social media, reaching out to media, writing another book and of course \u201ccreating content\u201d by living life. At this point it feels like our whole lives are simultaneously work and play. Building an online business that can fund our dreams is a full time job.&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How much money do you make?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before leaving New York, both Frankie and I were making just shy of $100,000 a year. We were able to save aggressively while building out our van Lolo. When we started this journey I was making less than $50 a month from online content. Since sharing our travels on social media that number has jumped to over $200 a month. Hopefully this trend continues and we continue to build our following and income as we go.&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What are your monthly costs on the road?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because we bought an older van, we are constantly having to spend money to fix her up. Since leaving we\u2019ve spent over $800 on various engine repairs.&nbsp; We\u2019ve also been driving like crazy trying to make our world record and have spent over $1,700 on fuel in just two months. Without these inflated expenses, our monthly budget would sit at roughly $900 per month for food, cell phone, health insurance, gym and other miscellaneous expenses.&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How much did it cost you to build out your van?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We bought our van for $4,000 and then spent just over $2,000 updating the engine. The actual build cost us roughly $7,500.&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Do you make enough money to support your lifestyle?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Both Frankie and I were lucky to have great jobs in NYC before hitting the road. We both have investments in the stock market and high interest savings accounts. Between our savings, investment income and revenue from our online digital content, we\u2019re very comfortable.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"356\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Alex-and-Frankie-Van-Lifers-in-the-snow.jpg\" alt=\"Alex-and-Frankie-Van-Lifers-in-the-snow\" class=\"wp-image-13043\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What do you like most about your career and lifestyle?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love the freedom of being on the road, getting to see new and beautiful places every day. Yes, we\u2019re working all the time and it can sometimes feel overwhelming. But we\u2019re so happy to be doing work we love, sharing experiences that are meaningful to us. The thing we love the most is that we\u2019ve given up our hour plus commute in New York city to endless hours of driving through the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. We feel blessed every day.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What are some of the challenges you have with this career and lifestyle?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to get used to sleeping in strange parking lots and not knowing where your next shower is coming from. The many uncertainties of this lifestyle were at first very overwhelming for me in particular as I worked though my anxieties. It\u2019s hard to go from a very structured life to one with no structure at all. I\u2019ve had to work on creating my own routines and daily habits that help me feel grounded and calm even when the world is changing outside out windows daily.&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What is your vision for the future of your lifestyle on the road?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our original plan was to live in Lolo for a year, explore Canada and the US, and decide where we want to lay down roots. Now that we\u2019ve been on the road for a while, we\u2019re both feeling like this is something we\u2019d like to continue doing as long as possible. Now we\u2019re looking towards two years, more countries and finding new ways of generating income so we can extend this lifestyle as long as possible.&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Any advice for the aspiring traveler about living and working on the road as van lifers and managing finances?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/location-independent\/\">Lay a strong foundation<\/a> while you\u2019re still comfortable in your current life. Save as much money as possible, build your home without going into debt. You want to come into van life with as little overhead expenses as possible. While on the road, make time for work but also make time to play. You set off on this adventure to experience the world, don\u2019t forget to enjoy that!&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Is there anything else you&#8217;d like to add?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frankie and I are reformulating all our plans now with the outbreak of covid-19. Our world record attempt is on hold, our travels are at a standstill, we hope that everyone is making good choices and helping to slow the curve. Van lifers especially need to make sure they aren\u2019t transporting the virus from state to state. We\u2019re taking every precaution and we hope you are too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve decided the best thing we can do in this time when mobility is limited is to move to a farm and help with the daily operations. We\u2019re excited for this new challenge, to learn new skills, and to help out a small family farm while their normal workflow is disrupted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex and Frankie are van lifers, traveling full-time in their van Lola, breaking world records, and managing online businesses and YouTube channels.
