I used to do reviews of older movies back in the day and called them RETRO REVIEWS - that's what I like about movies, they are here to stay (for the most part) and we can always talk about them - so here is my first RETRO REVIEW with the new channel! This movie really is a classic to say the least, check out my review of STAND BY ME. #vanlife #moviereviews #retroreviews #vanlifeplusmovies #standbyme #standbymereview ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vaeAJ_uDA8

Couldn't leave this footage on the "cutting room floor" so to speak, and it was cathartic to put it together, here is some footage from a day in my vanlife that wasn't included during the first video.

Back Up Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrfiH_f6kQJF-ge4hyZ-__g Contact Instagram: @vanlifeplusmovies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vanlifeplusmovies My name is Matthew and I live in a van. I lost my job due to "cut backs" from the pandemic of 2020 and decided to seriously restructure my life. I am also a single dad who needed to find a solution that would allow me to remain in my daughter's life and plan for her future. After tons of research into #vanlife, I knew it was for me. From March 2021 until October 2021 I spent my days building out my Chevrolet Express 2500, which came to be known as "Lucky" and as of October 18, 2021 I have been living in Lucky full time. The build was done with almost no experience on my end and I used the one incredible tool I had at my disposal - the internet - to learn what I needed to build Lucky into a very comfortable tiny home. I have always had a bit of a passion for being in front of the camera and really enjoy capturing the world around us. This really played into how I was feeling after almost a year of working from home when I "commuted" from the bedroom to the couch. I was starting to feel extremely unhealthy, unmotivated and despondent. I HATED that, and that's not a word I like to throw around. This new lifestyle gives me opportunities I just didn't have before and I am so excited to be able to share it all with you. I truly believe we all have the capabilities to turn our lives around, should we choose to do so - and if I can inspire you to shoot for something better then I have done a decent job and that will keep me going. There is more to life than the consume, consume, spend, spend lifestyle I feel we have all been conditioned to follow and I just want to do the best I can for myself first and foremost. Our time is limited and I do not want to waste another second on a lifestyle that doesn't bring me joy! Be Happy, Be Creative, Be Yourself and BE POSITIVE! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCmb-_bJaio

Travelling through the West Kootenays on a beautiful road towards a place called Trout Lake, who knew this was here? Then it's time to hunker down in a familiar town and throw together some sort of dinner.
