Van City

Creator: Jonah Lee-McNamee

Because of the high rent prices in Vancouver, Paolo and Alessio have chosen to live together in an RV. These best friends moved from Italy to Canada for University, and face rainy conditions, cramped quarters, and engine problems on the daily. Fortunately, that doesn't stop them from cooking pasta for their friends, exploring the outdoors, and making the most of their situation. In the hostile housing environment of Vancouver, these friends have found a unique way to thrive.
