A woman's husband was fired from his job after his bosses found out she was an ex- porn star - leading the couple to move into a van and start posting vlogs for a living.
Channon Rose, 36, had a hard childhood. At eight years old her parents divorced and her father remarried a woman who she says went on to physically and emotionally abuse her.
Suffering from mental health issues as a result of the abuse, Channon found herself involved in prostitution while still a minor, before turning to stripping when she reached the age of 18.
A few months into stripping she entered the world of adult films, beginning a decade-long career in the porn industry.
But Channon wasn't fulfilled with her career and what she really wanted was to start a family.
She created a profile on a dating website, where she met her now-husband, Travis Dean, 44.
But, after Travis's family found out about Channon's past, they disapproved of the relationship, even firing him from his job at the family business when he refused to leave the love of his life.
Undeterred and deeply in love, the pair decided to try and make a living from posting vlogs on YouTube.
As the pair tried to grow their family they documented their fertility struggles on YouTube, eventually reaching an audience of over one million subscribers.
After years of struggling with fertility and experiencing miscarriages and failed IVF, Channon and Travis were lucky enough to have two children; Snow, 3 in 2018 and baby Storm in March 2021.
Thrilled, Channon began to follow her other dream of travelling the world.
The couple saved up to buy an RV and decided to take their family on a journey across the United States, documenting the trip on Instagram and YouTube.
With two young children, the couple have faced some restrictions on their adventure; their newborn requires constant care but that hasn't stopped them.
Channon receives criticism often, both for her career in porn and her parenting decisions, but she refuses to let the negative comments bother her.
"When I was eight years old, my parents divorced," said Channon.
"My dad cheated on my mum with my mum's best friend and then married her.
"It was the worst thing that could have happened to me. My step-mum physically and emotionally abused me for years.
"This led me in and out of psychiatric hospitals, and I went down the wrong path in life.
"I ended up becoming a child prostitute, and then a stripper when I turned eighteen. A few months after that, I did porn.
"After nearly a decade into this unconventional career, I realised that I really didn't want this life anymore.
"More than anything, I wanted to be married and have a family. I thought I wasn't good enough for that life, but I tried anyway."
After Travis was fired by his family, Channon says they decided to work for themseles, and have been publishing on YouTube ever since.
"Travis helps me with filming, and now that we have kids, he helps take care of the kids while I film videos," she added.
"We tried for years to get pregnant we went through miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. After years of IVF, we now have two beautiful children, and I'm living my dream."
After finally starting a family, Channon and Travis decided to follow another of their dreams and began to experiment with the van lifestyle.
"I've always loved the idea of travelling so we decided to travel the USA in an RV, because there is so much here we haven't explored yet," Channon said.
"When we're travelling from one place to the next, we drive about two to three hours at a time. That way we don't have to go too far, as the kids are in car seats.
"Then we either stay overnight at an RV resort or boondock. We like to stay in RV resorts if we can, because they're the safest option and we have access to electricity, water and WiFi.
"We have boondocked, which isn't as safe, but is very beautiful and secluded.
"It's hard travelling for long periods of time with two young children in car seats. I'm constantly changing diapers, feeding them or trying to get them to nap.
"There are always going to be people out there that don't agree with that we do we had someone tell us that we wouldn't last long on the road because our toddler wouldn't like being cooped up in the RV.
"I just let them know that our experience is different, and we make sure our kids are in an environment that they are thriving in. "If at any point, our kids hated this, then we would go home but right now they are loving this life, and so are we.
"Life on the road is amazing. It has made me realise that the world is a beautiful place.
"It's also made me realise I don't need so much stuff ` in fact, I am so much happier and less stressed living on the road.
"We've all become a lot closer and got to know each other more. We've learnt to be more patient as well."
Sharing their journey on their social media allows Channon and Travis to achieve their dreams, and they are forever grateful for the opportunity."
"I'm hoping to inspire other people to do the same if they're interested in this life," Channon added.
"We love reading people's positive comments. Unfortunately, we get trolls who love leaving negative comments, but we try to ignore them, as we know they are projecting their own hurt on us.
"I feel so much gratitude for every comment, whether negative or positive, because they allow me to live my dream life."
