You are half my age and twice as brave. Whenever I doubt my decision to travel and live out of my van in October I watch you. You give me the courage to keep going with my dream. Thanks 😊
Thanks for your videos. I found you about a year ago when I was searching for van build videos. It was an older one where you talked about how to remove the seats out of your van. At that time I had a lot of health issues, very little income and no vehicle. Now I am proud to say that my health has improved, I have a great income, a vehicle and money in savings. I have watched you all this time and I want you to know what an inspiration you have been. Because of you I am closer to my goal and you kept me inspired. I thought, if she can do it so can I. Thanks to you and Joey :)
Thank you, Em.❤❤
Awesome! So happy for you! 🌈🧡
The lake, the tranquil music, it all looks so peaceful. In this crazy world right now, I truly envy you!! I'm working towards a traveling lifestyle in the near future... Your channel is very inspiring. 💕 Safe travels
Hey great tip on Aveda leave in…so good! 🤩🤩
yay! coffee with Chantelle and Joey!
❤❤❤☕
A quick and inexpensive fix for your back window cover is the dollar store sells foam board, get two and a roll of duck tape. Just cut to size, not beautiful but it will give you privacy. Stay safe dear one, love to Joey!❤️❤️
I ❤️ how you often tell Joey that he’s a handsome boy and that you ❤️ him. Beyond sweet 🥰🥰🥰
Lol❤️! When you were climbing on the logs going into the lake I was mentally saying “no no, don’t do it!” And then you danced!
Scared me too! Guess is the "Mom" in me.....
I’m in love with Joey. He has the sweetest face. Thanks for sharing your adventures
Beautiful spot! Can't go wrong on forest service roads when you're looking for a great spot to camp, but I'm glad you were able to snag the one on the lake. 🙌🏻
Loving the sweet campers that let you know they were leaving
Another great video! I have always dreamed of doing what you are doing. Be safe!
Love that little Joey.😘
As u Julie I just love little Joe he just so dog gone cute
Good morning from Tennessee. Great video. Beautiful area. I enjoyed seeing the lake. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Have a fantastic day.
Thanks, Patricia!
I love waking up to a new vid amazing campsite! Have you thought about Alpicool? 12v frig Happy Trails
I'd love to have a fridge when I have a bigger van, and a constant source of power.
Love my Alpicool, 500 jackey runs it if too much shade for solar. Of course, I don’t edit videos!
@@jessys9868 I have the smaller alpicool it runs on 4 to 9w less than my phone.
I love when I turn on my iPad Sunday morning with my cup of coffee because I know you will have a new video. I can’t wait to get out there and explore all of the beautiful places America has to offer. My shuttle bus is coming along but not quite done yet.
Once again, another stunning camp site and i feel so satisfied that you walked right to the very tip @ 16:36 lol! Thank you!
Enjoyed the B roll of you too! :D
Joey is such a peaceful little soul 🥰
Super stunning views
🌼 So beautiful!!! Thanks again for sharing your finds and the beauty!!! 💙
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place ❤️
Joeyyyyy so cute! At time he resembles Chu Baca if Star Wars lol!!😁
Tip for those in a more public area or at a place during a busier time like the weekend. Typically you won’t want to be so close to the water access. Anyone staying on that road or planning a day trip will have to walk/park closely by your site and have to hang out in your view potentially ruining the quiet 💛🌻 this doesn’t look like one of those spots though just a tip for others 🙂
Beautiful views!
Glad you liked it, Deanna!
The postcard views are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the lake video. So scenic and you really scored great camp spots!
Oh man look at the rocks there! sweet! so pretty!
You and Joey make my nights. I watch you before I go to bed, so relaxing.
beautiful footage of baker lake with your mountain pup.
enjoyed 😉 this one especially.
Dear Chantelle, I do enjoy watching your posts. Your steady camera work makes viewing calm and enjoyable. I’m a beginner solo part-time traveler and am 68 years old. Take care. Helen p.s. am in Australia
Thanks so much for showing us a great spot to see and camp. Cant wait for summer!!. Not quite ready for fulltime, but you are an inspiration.
I liked your little dance move 💃🏻 You & Joey are adorable God Bless 😇
OH MY the end footage was GORGEOUS!! Great spot to bad you had to leave!
You made me very nervous walking out on this logs. My inner grandma kicked in. Please be careful out there. It is a beautiful area. So peaceful.
Just beautiful. So peaceful. You and Joey are looking very happy.
This is the most amazing place you have camped yet I believe and all are Beautiful.
Aww baby Joey is like nope I’m not getting up.
I have been watching your videos for a while. Baker Lake just blew me away, it is so beautiful. Made me want to get in my van and go there now, lol thanks so much .
Thanks chantelle n joey.
I was looking down when you said "I washed my hair" and i looked up expecting your beautiful hair and ... haha, it was a good laugh.
You really are finding some pretty campsites. Good to see you and Joey enjoying the tranquility.
Fantastic work! Ohmygoodness for real. Joey posed so perfect lol . My favorite was towards the end when all the sky had all those colors🤗 Much love from Texas Channel and Joey 💜
I am "unexpectedly" starting my journey in a month or so, a LOT sooner than expected! But so looking forward to it!
Aww, good luck! And congrats!(:
Great video. Beautiful scenery. You and Joey look wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
I was fine with the lighting in your van. I love sudoku puzzles and spider solitaire. Beautiful camping spot near the lake. So much beauty!
What a Great Place to Chill Wander in Beautiful Nature and that rock stream looked soothing‼️. 💕🐶👩🦰. 👍👍⬆️🚙
Your videos are always great. I make sure I have my ☕ in hand before I start the video. You and Joey are awesome 🤗
So pretty! That snow capped mountain tho!! Too bad you had to leave that beautiful spot.
What a beautiful place !
Thank you for sharing
Amazing spot! I like how you stuck with your intuition and turned around and went down the forest service road-jackpot!
That window covering loss was too funny! We were camping and had the dog timeouts on the hitch after set up. I went into town to get some food and coming out of the store, I was like what is that behind the Expy? It was the two tie outs! I had dragged them (the timeouts, not the dogs) on the freeway and across town in Flagstaff - not sure if anyone saw it or not.
Loved the ducks and water is so very healing . P.S. loved the retro flowered pants - super cool .. happy journey
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
Happy Sunday. Awesome video!
Beautiful spot. Safe travel's
Another beautiful spot going on my PNW list! Thanks 😊 🙏.
As much as I loved your log shimmy, the floating meditation spot was awesome. Wonder if you were walking by boat campers at the end. 🙂
Good morning from Ohio!! Another beautiful spot!! Thanks for sharing!! 😊🐶
What a gorgeous place!!!! So beautiful there. 😊
Bummer about the things you've lost recently. Very frustrating and annoying. 😕
331 updates on 851 views. Your metrics always amaze me!
What a great place!
Love the log dance... brave move .. love seeing Joey au naturel...
I always love the scenery you film, so beautiful and relaxing.
Hey Now!
So glad you got to enjoy my favorite spot!! 💜hopefully no bear sightings?! Lol makes me want to go back watching your video!! You captured it PERFECT
No sightings, but I was told there was a black bear cub roaming this area a lot. Never saw it, though!
I know I definitely warned you lol freaked me out! Glad you weren't in a tent :)
Omg!! Erica yay! Yes, yes you did! Haha I didn't know this was you. The "Angel" threw me off. And to think, I wouldn't have stayed here if you didn't call me over. Lol it really is the perfect spot.❤
I'm really so glad I did! Was meant for you to be there as many others came through and I didn't bother to offer. 💜💜please come visit whidbey again!! For now I'll continue to watch your journey! Truly inspirational! Thank you!!!
Incredible views, so love that Mount Baker area. There was no one around either that is so amazing! My van windows broke and my ex cut plexiglass and he drilled holes for the screws. Just an idea.
Nice lake
Joeys always got the best spot
It’s always good to sleep in sometimes
Simply gorgeous scenery! Thanks so much for sharing❣
Wow, the view is breathtaking!!!
Beautiful video as always! Thank you!!

Thank you for being you ❤
You are fabulous. Just in case you haven’t been told that today. Keep your dream going.
That was gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing♡
Beautiful!
Great shots!!!
Make a hole in the water logs put your food in the water to keep things cold. Im getting ready to head that way, I live in Washington and have never been there. Have done Olympic forest a couple times. Thanks for the nice vids. I travel with 3 chihuahua and a brindle dachund. Joey is a good travel buddy and so stinker cute.
Beautiful place..I love being by the water
Absolutely Beautiful!
Beautiful video! I’m glad the geese were obeying the rules and staying in the designated swimming area.
😂❤
Beautiful scenery!
I love your dog! Have fun girl!
Beautiful mountains 🥰
Wow we were just there a couple days ago and would of loved to seen this much snow on the mountain.
Another great video with you and Joey! Thanks for sharing.
It’s so beautiful there! I got my sticker yesterday and it’s so cute!! Can’t wait to put it in our van!! Mo noticed the cool stamp right away 🥰 happy travels!!
Thank you so much!! Im glad you liked it, and that Mo loved the stamp! Lol❤😊
Loved the happy dance on the log❤️
Nicely done!
I always give you a BIG thumbs up!
So, what’s next?
Beautiful scenery
what a fantastic lake location, and such beautiful views. you checking out these back roads is such a peaceful vibe. loved your little shimmy when you climbed onto that log! hope Joey enjoyed himself too. btw don't let your cellphone battery drop so low - make sure it's either on the Jackery or your lighter socket whenever you're not filming!
Nice!
Beautiful 😍
Such a beautiful place and I love the music
Aloha from Maui...great video!!
I have been following you for a long ng time. Even though we live full time in a fifth wheel. We also have a camper and go on short trips we usually do free boondocking camping. You were near us not to long ago when you were in Aberdeen. We just went camping in quinalt . But so far we make it a adventure to find free camping in Washington.
What a lovely area. Your footage is excellent and restful for the heart
Wonderful video! So peaceful and beautiful,,
I got my sticker this week! Love it. Thank you.👍🏞💖🐕
Aloha🌺
Lovin' Joey in Hawaii💞
