Banana to Maple 

Welcome to Banana to Maple!
We’re 50+ chasing a better quality of life now - not waiting for retirement to start living. Join us as we turn our DIY Van build into a cozy home on wheels and travel across Canada and beyond.

Each year we escape the winter and head to South America, where we share daily life: real costs, culture, markets, food, family moments, and our search for a healthier, happier life. 

If you love van life, slow travel, cross-continent adventures, and honest conversations about choosing happiness at any age, you’re at the right place. 

If you’re dreaming of freedom, a lifestyle change, or your own big leap then hit subscribe and join us on this adventure!
