This Might Be the Most Underrated Island on Earth

We love our vanlife adventures… but sometimes life throws you a curveball in the form of 10,000 miles of air travel, fresh coconuts, and an island most Americans have never even heard of. In this episode, we step WAY outside our comfort zone—leaving Mr. Lemon behind and flying to New Caledonia, a remote French island in the South Pacific, to visit our son and experience a whole new world of travel. From traditional island meals to unexpected culture shocks, here’s everything we didn’t expect from life off the road (and across the ocean). 🌴 Not vanlife. Not camping. Just raw, real island adventure. 🌴 🎥 WATCH NEXT: https://youtu.be/jU6D8LQNoSo?si=GPvdDYmQ0O1w9iq7 🛻 Miss the van?
