Wynston and I have been incredibly busy already in 2021, and we’re about to leave for the summer! At 32 years old I’ve officially become a snowbird, so Wyn and I are headed north for the treacherously hot Arizona months.
Preparing for Five Months on the Road in Our Minivan Camper!
My dreams are finally coming true. After years of planning and decades of imagining RV life, Wynston and I are hitting the road for five months! We will be living in our minivan camper conversion as we traverse the Pacific Northwest region.
We took a 6 week road trip last year, and that was the happiest I’ve ever been! Now it’s time to step up our game!
We Launched a New Website!
I’ll get straight to the point – I launched a new website! With the help of Virtuhub, amandayantos.com is now up and running!
In the last 8 months or so, I have branched out from Dog Mom Days to pursue other passions, including van life (with Wynston, of course!). I decided it was time to set up a portfolio website of sorts. Dog Mom Days will continue to exist, so don’t worry!
My new website will be the main hub for everything I focus on in life – that being a traveling creator and dog mom.
In conjunction with my new website, I’m working on publishing my book, as well as growing my successful YouTube channel. My website will give you access to find me anywhere online or on social media.
Here is my mission:
I hope you’ll join Wynston and I as we continue this journey of inspiration. We’re most active on Instagram and YouTube nowadays, so we’ll see you there!

Subscribe to the Dog Mom Days YouTube Channel!
Like a majority of other people, I’ve had a YouTube account for many years. It’s quietly sat linked to my Google account since the early 2000s, being used to watch music videos, breaking news, and vines that make me laugh until 2am.
It was recently suggested that I started making my own YouTube videos to showcase my van life journey with Wynston. I’ve learned so much about van life and traveling on a budget, and now I really want to use my experience to teach others!
My new van related YouTube videos focus on life on the road. Whether you want to travel, car camp or live out of your vehicle, my short informative videos will surely offer you a helpful tip.
