The magic that gets everyone hooked
Duggan’s dynamically built channel provides a special mix of material focused on her adventurous way of living, presenting a veritable gold mine to all those drawn to being at one with nature and putting regular society on pause. Travel vlogs where Hannah brings her viewers along on her journeys fuse with the DIY projects she works on while on the road in her videos, making for a unique experience. She often recounts the highs and lows of a nomadic existence, which is strewn throughout all of her content to enhance the overall uniqueness of her platform. The channel takes the spotlight in part for her emphasis on the very unconventional strategy of living out of a van.
From the first build-out to the daily pleasures and difficulties of life on the road, she offers a thorough understanding of the mechanics of her one-of-a-kind predicament. Her channel is a great source for others thinking about a similar lifestyle, as her videos frequently provide useful advice and ideas for setting out on your own, regardless of the vehicle. That said, what adds even more to her originality is that she’s able to present very real and concerning issues that she has to deal with every single day, but in a manner that keeps the viewers hooked no matter how bad it might get.
Apart from her van life content, Duggan’s channel includes a vast range of trip vlogs that showcase the varied landscapes and experiences that accompany a nomadic way of living, with the videos transporting viewers to breathtaking sites throughout the US and Canada. In the same vein, Hannah’s travel vlogs center on the journeys as much as the locations themselves, whereby she constantly keeps the viewers in the world of endless stories garnered through her travels by regularly sharing her ideas and observations about the locations she graces. Last but not least, teaching the audience valuable on-the-road DIY skills that range from folding paper to full-on bushcraft forts in the woods or personal off-road cabins help grab the attention of even more viewers. The channel enjoys over a million subscribers, with almost 350 uploads and more than 136 million total video views.
Her greatest hit so far
The channel’s most popular upload begins with Duggan addressing her need for a morning shower, after which she ultimately chooses to first pot her plants and hang them on the walls. She intends to jump in the lake later to clean up as she knows this work will probably make her dirty, but is also aware that it’s not the ideal approach, so after potting her plants, she trims her bangs with regular scissors. She then sinks her mind into the hazy and lush surroundings by jumping into the cool lake for a swim. Re-energized, she says today is already better than yesterday.
After that, she’s back on the road, electing to travel south, seeing as the northern parts haven’t been treating her kindly. She comes onto a beach and chooses to linger around there for some time, using the cloudy conditions to enjoy herself. Mentioning that this is how she makes a livelihood since YouTube pays insufficient, she intends to photograph some clothing to sell online. She finds it challenging to keep filming though, when another person parks close-by. Instead she chooses to be efficient by covering her refrigerator with curtains.
After some time blogging and tanning on the sand, Hannah chooses a supper place and plans the evening, claiming to enjoy waking up in a new place every single day, and to be looking forward to a change of setting. Given the unforgiving heat of the day, she seeks a river area with shady trees, to prepare spaghetti, closing off the footage with another passionate, loving monologue about the beauty of nature and traveling alone.
Who is Hannah, really? Has she had any relationships?
Born on 14 April 1994, in East St. Paul, Manitoba, Canada, Hannah’s love for travel and exploration began before she even understood what it meant. Her childhood was filled with activities in the great outdoors, and most often with her sister, Molly Marie Duggan. The carefree siblings enjoyed spending time in the woods more often than not, which made all the difference in ultimately shaping Hannah’s bold spirit and love for nature.
She took up a position aboard a cruise ship immediately after matriculating from high school at the age of 18, working exhausting 95-hour week, while traveling across the open sea. Although tiring, this invaluable experience allowed her to meet new people and see different parts of the world, as well as become hooked on the feeling of novelty. Upon leaving the open sea, Hannah tried her hand at modeling in Los Angeles, California, but it didn’t suit her after all. She then returned home, but didn’t give up on her passion for traveling, spending some time there until 2017, when she took a modeling gig in Hong Kong, and ended up enjoying it immensely.
A year later, she purchased a 2001 Ford Econoline van for $6,000, and set out converting it into a livable space. Working in her father’s garage, she gutted the van and incorporated some of her favorite design elements, like natural lighting and flora. She then set off on two separate trips, traveling to the East and West Coasts, all the while detailing her adventures on Instagram and YouTube, because the internet was the only friend she could always carry along. Apparently at least a million people find this sort of life more than worthwhile, tuning in for every single upload.
Hannah’s romantic involvements have also been a unique aspect of her public persona, as she’s been honest about her partners and the impact they’ve had on her life and travels. Currently, Hannah is in an open relationship with her college boyfriend, Mavrik Joos, who is also a famous YouTuber. They are romantically exclusive, which means that while they might have intimate encounters with others, they reserve the deep connection and constant conversations for each other. Various details about their relationship have been swimming around other social networks on which Hannah is also active, including Instagram and TikTok.
What’s her net worth?
Some of the most reputable media sources have estimated Hannah’s total career earnings at just over $500,000, owing to a number of income sources enabled by her engaged, faithful audience. First of all, Social Blade places her earnings per annum between $5,000 and $80,000, which is based solely on ad revenue and total views. Aside from that, she’s been known to partner with several brands to promote their products, on most of the social networks on which she’s active.
Most of her earnings are believed to originate from her unassumingly lucrative business website. Her company Lupine Lane Co. produces and sells several types of products, including jewelry such as necklaces, rings and earrings, a coffee blend, themed journals, branded shoulder bags, and redeemable gift cards.
