GO NEW MEXICO
YouTube adventure: Element Life
From the YouTuber: Nate started his journey in 2016 in a self-built Honda Element camper. Since then, he鈥檚 upgraded campers (a few times), traveled across North America, and met some amazing people along the way. Nate is very passionate about minimalism and affordably living a nomadic lifestyle.
In addition to travel videos, the Element Life channel features camper conversions and off grid living in the high desert, including New Mexico, where Nate renovated a dwelling in the mountains east of Albuquerque.
