3) Jinti Fell
This next Campervan YouTube Channel has been around for quite a while and is well known among the Vanlife community: Jinti Fell. Jinti’s channel came into existence back in 2016. Together with her partner and her first daughter, Jinti decided a couple of years ago to move into a van.
They got rid of everything they owned and moved into their very first own van. The young family has not regretted their decision to downsize in order to live a life with more freedom and be closer to nature. In fact, they enjoyed life on the road so much, they figured out a way to make an income online to continue the full-time van lifestyle. When the three of them had travelled Australia in their tiny home for quite a while, they sold their van to travel throughout Indonesia.
Upon their return to Australia a couple of months later, they bought a 21 seater old school bus as they didn’t like the idea of buying a conventional home and settling down just yet. Now a family of four, they still discover all the beauty Australia has to offer.
Head to their Campervan YouTube Channel and dig in to their videos to get a glimpse of all the breathtaking and great destinations Australia has to offer or to follow the bus conversion step by step. Besides finding loads of useful content on vans and travels across Australia, Jinti’s channel is also all about healthy living as well as living with a `less is more´ attitude.

4) Twosome Travellers
Van life in Australia seems to be particularly attractive for couple and families. The couple behind the Campervan YouTube Channel Twosome Travellers are James and Alex.
They purchased a 1995 Toyota Coaster and started converting it into their new home right away. On their journey of building their own home, Alex and James had to acquire all the carpeting skills from scratch as they were doing this for the very first time with no background knowledge and skills whatsoever. After 4 months of hard work, they were finally ready to commence their travels in their new unique van in December 2021.
They left Sydney and headed up the coast towards New South Wales. Since then, the couple has been travelling full-time in their tiny home on wheels. If you want to catch a glimpse of their self-converted van or see the amazing shots they’ve captured on their many scenic drives and beautiful destinations all along the coasts of Australia, go to their Campervan YouTube channel.

After purchasing and converting a Toyota Hiace Camper van, Brenna and Abby finally hit the road in September 2020. Currently, the two are exploring Tasmania in their mobile home.
