The Van Life Freedom Author
Hello there fellow van life enthusiast. I’m Joshua.

👉 Run my business from any parking lot
But hey, let’s talk about that later. Back to these beautiful creators…
Linnea and Akela FAQs (January 2023)
Van Name
Togo
Creators
Linnea Schmelzer (age 27)
Chris (age 29) – I couldn’t find his last name
Akela is their dog
The Van
They have a 2016 Ram Promaster that was previously a delivery van.
Upgrades
Their van is still a bit of a work in progress, but they have solar, a fridge, bathroom and a ton of storage for their outdoor adventures.
Affording It
Linnea simply worked hard for her dream of nomadic living. No handouts or rich uncles here! Chris also contributed to the build.
Making Money
Today in 2023, Linnea and Akela on YouTube has a net worth of $120,000 and makes $3,100 per month.
She does this via:
👉 Ads that run on her channel
👉 Numerous brand sponsorships
They don’t monetize their channel as much as other creators.
Collabs
I have not seen them do any collabs.
Location
They are building a cabin in Wisconsin but will continue traveling around the United States
Past Travels
In the past, they have explored most of North America.
Big Moments
Togo needed a new transmission and Linnea got a new boyfriend, but apart from that, her journey has been relatively easy going!
Future Plans
Where to next? Will Chris propose and Linnea fall pregnant? We’ll have to wait and see! I do like the direction that the channel is heading.
Key Lessons
What can we learn from this unique #vanlife channel?
👉 Build the right van that suits you and your goals
👉 You can do vanlife single while in a relationship
👉 The woods are a seriously safe space for us all
And of course, find a partner who supports you.
Conclusion
I have really enjoyed watching Linnea’s channel evolve over the last 18 months and can’t wait to see how they’ll transition to #cabinlife from #vanlife.
