VAN LIFE VANCOUVER ISLAND | Sooke BC is MAGICAL!!
We are making our way to settle down for the further up Vancouver Island, but not without a stop in beautiful Sooke, British Columbia. Sooke BC turns out to be one of the BEST places for whale watching on Vancouver Island / the west coast of Canada. Island van life is treating us well in our retired ambulance conversion. Living in a van during the winter can get a little chilly, but it doesn't stop us from getting outside to see the wildlife (seals, otters & sea lions) in beautiful British Columbia.

➤ ABOUT US: Hi! We’re Nick & Raychel, the couple behind the blog Not Luxe where we write travel guides & help people open their eyes to alternative living, whether that be teaching English online, moving to Cambodia, taking advantage of working holiday visas (like in Australia) or building a DIY stealthy camper van to live & work on the road. Right now, we’re living the #vanlife and travelling safely in our own backyard of British Columbia in Canada.
Our goal here is to bring you weekly content where we hope to inspire you to break free & live the life you desire. On Thursdays, we talk everything from finances to minimalism to working online to mindset and on Sundays, we post a weekly vlog of our daily lives. We hope you join us on our journey to see the world, save money, live minimally, and most importantly, have fun.
