I can’t believe this guy didn’t put something over your seat to protect it, and he wasn’t careful enough to prevent damaging your steering wheel
My very first thought, zangin. They obviously sensed her desperation. I'd have had a look at buying a battery operated one , but i do'nt know how effective they are. She can rest easy now: What's a few quid for peace of mind ?
Locksmiths are supposed to be able to pick locks, and make a key for a lock, then you'd have a new key and the devise, instead you got $300 worth of damage to your van. This guy was a butcher, you're lucky he didnt want non-monetary means of payment.
That guy was an idiot.
Omg! It is absolutely ridiculous that a locksmith didn’t pick that lock, I am actually a little bit disgusted
And ruin the seat and probably left small metal parts in the windshield, it burns to the glass. I was pissed when i saw his poor work!!
sucking at everything makes for really great content.
Lack of time, real anxiousness and a huge language barrier are not good input for the selection process of the best locksmith.
What a rip off. A proper "Locksmith " wouldn't of created all that destruction 😢
Exactly.
It's a bit of an insult to real locksmiths to CALL that guy a locksmith.
Any mechanic, with a cordless grinder, could have done that... and most of them would have covered the windscreen and dashboard with a blanket to avoid causing damage from sparks.
The worker did a lousy job, had no idea to solve it in the normal way. Even unskilled people can open such a tool, he damaged also the wheel and the seat, he should pay for that and not asking for Euro 190. Good luck and have a nice weekend. 🥰❤🍀
Lesson learned, hopefully.
Spare ignition key and spare key for any anti-theft device should be hidden somewhere underneath the van... AND if you lose a key you should either get a replacement cut immediately or, in the case of an anti-theft device, just bin it and replace it.
Also, that "locksmith" was a bit of a butcher.
Sparks from a grinder will ruin your windscreen, dashboard, seats and carpet.
A decent mechanic will always use cloths to cover stuff before grinding to prevent this.
If they don't, be prepared to sacrifice an old blanket for this purpose.
Seriously, though, check your windscreen.
I bet if you run your fingernail across the inside of it there'll be a bunch of tiny bumps in it now, where the sparks have hit it and melted the glass. 😞
It isn't dangerous (probably) but it'll be cosmetically damaged.
👍
More spare keys required? 😅
this is Spain bro....
I had a steering wheel years ago; I finally came to the realization you do not need to lock it. Any robber / criminal that sees that on the steering wheel, locked or not will move onto the next vehicle. The guy should have protected your seat ant taken much better care about your steering wheel.
No you hacksaw the steering wheel with a slice its around 28 seconds.
You bend the steering wheel a slight but by hand and the lock falls off.
Then you leave the lock on the ground where they parked it😂
@@OgglyGoogly you do that to people's cars?
@@user-lk2cj2qs1d back in the day yes
Not in Colorado. Now people just remove the wheel and put the one they carry with them on. Takes about 2 minutes
Nice to see you again Ame and Gigi, stay safe x
OMG that similar thing happened to me once. After several hours of drama and the locksmith breaking into my car etc, I finally got home late at night in a huff slammed my bag on the table and heard the ‘clink’ of keys from the bottom of it (which I’d searched 10 times that afternoon) . What to feel when life chucks this kinda shit at ‘one’?!
Hi sweetie Amy, sorry you had a bad key day. We've all been there. How to be young and healthy like you. Maybe you'll meet a nice guy down the road somewhere. Say hi to your frisky little doggie for me. What is your favorite dessert? Gosh there's so many of them. Well I'm rambling on so I guess I'll get out of here so I'll see you the next time and thanks much honey❤❤❤
Correction, oh to be young
Abraham Hicks has lots of videos on UA-cam about how the Law of Attraction and frequency plays a role in things that we consider lost. It is impossible to find something that you deem lost. And you could have turned that bag inside out and upside down and you still would have overlooked them because you thought they were lost and it was only when you didn't care anymore they materialized
The dramatics in this one is everything! Glad to be part of your ride! It's all an adventure and you have no idea how relatable this is to other van dwellers!❤😂🤗✨️ Safe and happy travels!😁😁
Get some airtags for those keys! 🤣Seriously though, glad you are alright and were able to get help! Love your videos, can't wait to see next weeks'! Maybe some jungle footage? haha
Chipolo are easier and cheaper than AirTags.
OMG Ame what an episode, what a twist!!! As you said the nature of VAN LIFE is unpredictable!! 😲 I am proud of you, you coped really so well, with the language barrier, and filming the moment as well! You are a veteran of this life now and nothing can phase you, well maybe alittle bit and that's totally normal, but you got it sorted and kept calm! Maybe two years ago it would have overwhelmed you! So sorry you found the keys later, though lets see the positive, you did find them and have your spare. Little Gigi was dancing in celebration 😂 Think you need to put some heavy fob on the end of those keys so its easier to find and maybe hear it drop, though on sand it would make no noise. Maybe bury it at the bottom of your handbag so you know its always there. Thx for sharing, very dramatic but alls well that ends well. Have a great week Ame and take care of yourself and Gigi ❤ PS I lost my house keys once at football in a park and it had gone dark. Had to walk around for an hour with torchlight from my mobile, in thick grass, cursing and stressing. Expected to sleep outside on the grass all night but by some luck found it! What a relief. I sympathise!
I was surprised a locksmith couldn't crack that lock. Pretty barbaric approach to gouge up her steering wheel & burn her seat.
@@PazmanBC Hello, I know what you mean. I have worked in spain and sometimes they are way too laidback and casual with things, too much siesta's over there in my opinion. When you call someone you hope they are a specialist/expert in that field but its rarely the case. I hope Ame can get the steering wheel fixed/replaced and maybe the chair covered or replaced so Gloria is perfect once more 😊 Hope your keeping well there in Canada?
What a bad locksmith. He didn't just destroy the steering wheel and seat, he put the sparks on the windshield as well. Glowing small metal particles melt into the glass, which will be noticeable when the sun shines on the glass
Has she been doing much Patreon? The last two videos have been super short. I wonder what she does all week. It seems there must be a lot more to her life she doesn't share with the audience. She also hasn't been doing a lot of her fancy editing or scripted musical montages lately.
@@MJackson1999 I think we're still a couple of her biggest fans but Ame's videos have been a little dull lately. I definitely prefer the ones where she gets out in these little towns & villages or just doing some fun activity. I hope she does a Barcelona video before she leaves Spain. That would be cool. Maybe she's feeling less inspired because her viewership has been way down lately. Last week's video hasn't even broken 100K. You have to go way back to her beginning to find one with that low views. I really think a lot has to do with her content not being as interesting lately. Just my opinion.
Great to see this surprise at the end the keys were recovered, such a relief. On to the next adventure Ame, safe travels.
Oh Ame you poor thing. I could feel your stress. Glad you're OK and back on the road. Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend with a nice glass of Spanish wine. You deserve it. Stay safe 💗💗💗
The tension in this episode was almost too much, glad it all worked out🎉
How weird that he did'nt protect you van when he was using an angle grinder??.. Anyway. Love your videos and it actually made me buy my own van to build before next summer..
I just love how calm You solved problems!Amazing strong women!
You are always so much fun to watch even when things are going downhill. ❤❤❤
You have had me in fits of laughter you are totally amazing how you deal with stress and now found the keys😂 your beautiful and make my day even if yours is not going so good😊
Hi Ame I love how you show the up and downs of the van life I have a Suggestion You might want to try this is to may be put the spare key To every part of your van may be in a jar or in your rest Room area or some where in the bed area where ever you can find it Also you can replace the steering wheel at a salvage place
Yeah, and she can get a Spanish handyman to install the salvage steering wheel? No Ame, no! They make lots of really nice steering wheel covers that will hide the damage.
Forget the cover. Now's the opportunity to replace it with a nice Momo steering wheel and the seats with Recaro's or something.@@VaxxedStories
Congrats on getting that difficult situation resolved!
Ame, I love it you remain positive even through your little trials. 💕
"This road is very dramatic, I feel like we could be friends."
I very much appreciate your level of self awareness.
There are the beautiful site draws lovely viewings of mountains can we ever see a castle it's being sure to go to Granada we love you and Amos😅
create a hook in one of your cabinets where you can place(HIDE) those keys
It is anbelievable, you never fail to impress.
Congrats on 400k!!!💕
I am so sorry that happened and the scars on your beloved Gloria. If you did not call the locksmith you probably still be looking for the keys. That's what happens to me at times also, stay safe always sweet lady. ✌
Ame love your videos they're always fun to watch I just wish they were a bit longer like you know maybe 5 hours long or maybe 10 hours long , what am trying to say is that I love you I could watch you all-day long and not get bored of you , thank you for always making my day better.
I said 20 mins, 😂 you want hours, but they are getting shorter
@reynasaid8065 it's been 3 weeks since a 20 min video. I mean if you only post once a week under 20 mins is ridiculous. Someone with this many subs should have more or longer content. The videos have been shorter and shorter.
Nice to see you. Gardens rock! Things can be grown in them. All kinds of things. Who doesn't want that? Have a great week Ame.
Aloha Ame, Just love how you smile even during your stress. The relief on your face is priceless. Stay safe and keep smiling 😅
Please please Ame, get a couple of bungee hooks for when you’re travelling to stop the air con unit falling over 😂
Gloria now has battle scars from your adventure and will always serve as a reminder not to loose your keys again 😁
Ame, you did it again! You always come up with a new twist to your videos! The view in the beginning was absolutely majestic! You also have a majestic aura about you that's intriguingly captivating! I know the situation with the wheel lock wasn't funny, and yet it was so hilarious and you didn't disappoint in the drama department. Sorry about finding the keys after the damage was done 😢 Wishing you a wonderful and blessed weekend my entertaining friend! Love you too, and I'm praying for your safety and happiness 💞💯🙏🌺🌺
Quit it
@@user-yz2ib7dt1x What is your problem?? What did I do wrong? Do I have to ask for your permission before I can comment??
@@merlynnkoehn3971 Hey Merlynn, you can be yourself and say exactly what you want. Don't let anyone make you hold back your words or not be your authentic self my friend. You are one of Ame's best supporters (she appreciates you and responds whenever she see's you) and I recognised that long ago 👍🙏 I get these occasional comments too, there is plenty of negatives on the internet but I like to focus on all the positives and most of Ame's community are good, solid people. I stand beside you, my friend! I can only imagine the troubles poor Ame has on here and in Instagram and Tiktok over these years.
Can’t believe the locksmith didn’t protect Gloria whilst cutting the steering lock off!! 🤦🏻♂️
Jesus what an episode. Im glad that everything worked out good. And once again, I totally love your videos, your editing and your humor. Hugs Ron Sweden
Hola, hablas español??? Soy tu fan desde hace tiempo y me gusta las vivencias con tu mascota y tu van… mucho que aprender de ti… felicidades
Hi Ame, I just found out an article about you when you're 15 years old. It was about Cambridge Artisans. You were looking like such a cutie birdie entrepreneur.
We would love to have an episode about your earlier days.(With video clips, if possible).
Take care & stay safe sweetheart.💕
What she was an entrepreneur??
This girl confuses me so much sometimes.
In earlier videos she used to say that she wanted to become a naval architect.
Then she used to say that she would live in a van solo forever..
& Then last month she said that she wants to be in TV & Movies..
LMAO 🤣 .. This girl is crazy & I love her so much.
WOW!!
You aren't only Superman but also superfan.. xD
You should ask her for her number..
Who knows she will fall for you??
I'm glad you located the keys at last. .
Girl, that was another raw, real-life experience you got there !
No way you could have known where thoses keys were on that large beach. .
My first comment here but not my first rodeo watching your experiences, hehe
Tears 🥂from yours truly for another difficulty handled and for much success !
Great video Ame
Jeez, the dude had the balls to charge you for the neanderthal approach AND causing damage to the van?!
By the look of the key, that model of lock is VERY easy to pick, if you have the tools (which a good locksmith should have!)
I loved how you acted more natural, more human. You even made me laugh a couple of times. I'm glad you solved it. ❤
You're very good at problem solving. Even with the miniature anxiety attacks lol Soooo cute. 💯
Hope the rest of your trip in Spain goes smoothly. You're the best adventurer. 👍
Gigi's so excited you found the key lollllll that's hilarious. ❤
Thank you for sharing all your emotions with us. We would all feel the same way.
It's always something with you. :) Thanks for another fun adventure to end the week!
Safe travels Ame
good on yer girl !!! I wouldn't have the courage to call someone in a language I didn't know, to fix something that's a little beyond asking for directions or ordering a meal 🙂 I'm in awe and really proud for you !! Keep up these vlogs, I love the village wanders, it gives a lovely feeling for "being there" and seeing these beautiful locations, you really get across the joy of just enjoying a walk through a lovely place !! Stay safe and until next week !!
And then I watched to the end !!! OMG !! But on the plus side, you found your spare gloria key !! Silver linings and all that !
you always make me smile. your adventures are fun. after all that, find that jungle. be safe!!
A dramatic episode Ame, you make us worry but you are so nice even in the worst of time. Great. Take care you and Gigi
ʜɪᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ -🎉…
If one is feeling gloomy? Watching Ami is full of uplifting moments, lots of giggles, she is wonderful, great editing! Love it!
That was FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!!!! "...my chair has a burn mark on it!!" You are GREATNESS! Keep the vids coming! We LOVE them! ...and you!)
I love your video Ame... by the way you was lucky... a big hug to you and a cuddle to Gigi... all the best for your stay in Spain !!! Ciao e Grazie for share your adventures ... !
I love how you endure everyday life struggles and your adventures... Just can't help to love you sweetie ❤❤❤
Never a dull moment. Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.
And that is called van life wile blonde 😂the Kaos is just so cool. Thanks again for the great Friday. Anyway you and your pup have a great wonderful weekend and the best of life to you both. Peace out
I am glad you got Gloria free and no worries, be easy on yourself, you are amazing Ame.
Proud of you, Ame!
After decades of camping and hiking and biking I've learned to tie a long ribbon of a really obnoxious color to anything that would be a trip "ender" if I were to lose it: keys, fire starter, water purifier, etc. If you ever happen to drop or misplace it, it's way easier to spot the bright orange or yellow, etc, in practically any environment. You can even double up the length to create a lanyard, now it's twice as hard to lose.
I am gonna tell ya Ame, i was anxietying out completely for you. What a nightmare. Gladnit worked out. Love Gigi
Wow. Great episode!
I would have been in tears! Well done you for getting help with a language barrier.
Glad you found your keys. It was funny that GiGi seemed happy as well
Good to see you Ame and Gigi you have such a marvelous personality and beauty. Love all your videos and I am pleased to got your lock removed. Be safe and stay healthy.
Glad you got help and found keys. Spain seems amazing so far ❤
I really do feel your pain ame. I have a hatchback style back door on my van so just one big door that opens up like a hatchback car. Opened it a few days ago to get something and one of the hinges broke off! So here's me in layby holding on to the door trying to close it and stop it falling off alltogether. In the end I had to called RAC out and the lovely chap managed to close it and secure it. Just means I can't open it till i get new hindges. Oh the joys of Solo Van Life. Glad I found your keys at least not that it helps now xx
ʜɪᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ -🎉
I just locked myself out of my shed for a few weeks and couldn’t mow the lawn haha. Almost called a locksmith. In the end, i had to use an angle grinder to get the lock off, just like he did on Gloria. Good job getting through that!
Oh and guess what, i found my keys too! But by the time i found them, I’d already tried using bolt cutters on the lock, so the key didn’t turn all the way and then it broke off in the lock 🤣 from now on I’m only buying things with combination locks!
Good to see you & Gigi so elated at the end after such distress & to have found the keys, wow! Would have been another cost to replace. Air tag those babies & Gloria! Maybe install a kill switch for more security. I’d take it as a sign you weren’t meant to go to the jungle. May have saved you from something more. Love you Ame & Gigi - safe travels you gorgeous girls! 🚐💕✨😘
You need Key Lanyards on all your keys for as often as you are at the beach. I have spent a lot of time camping in the dunes in California and know that a lanyard is necessary on every set of keys. A couple of 10 Euro lanyards are much cheaper than just one 190 Euro locksmith service call. But on the bright side it made for quite a dramatic video. Have a great week.
Hi Ame no need to apologize for not getting to the jungle. It's easy for people to comment on that you should have done this or that but in the moment you handle yourself well under the circumstances. That guy was a complete hack but got you out of shit. Amazing that you found your keys that sought of thing always happens. Love all your vids , stay safe you are an amazing resilient giri can't wait for the next one. Cheers.
Man I love you Ame
Well, I needed a good chuckle tonight... Thanks! Like sucketh at such times but I admire you for being a good sport about it all.
Lol glad you found your keys. Be safe out there beautiful
190 euros 😢😮😢 thats tough and then you find them. I lost mine on a beach last year ,car 2 miles away home 120 miles , spent almost 2 hours searching and finally another sunbather said hey mate these your keys. Ever since i have a yellow tag on the keys and double clip to my belt. Never want to go through that panic and anxiety again.
Love the drama, the comedy, the tufts of hair about to be pulled out, I think your ready for an academy award, but you kept your cool and overcame the dilemma. Well done Amélise, I knew you could get yourself out of this mess. You must change your hair colour back as those who don't know you will think the obvious. Just joking thought it might ease the stress. Cant get enough of your vlogs so hilarious, makes my day. 🦘🦘🤠
If you go to Italy try Finale Ligure a very special small city in Liguria, amazing people, amazing beach, amazing food, perfect trails for hiking, lot's of place to park and unique and wonderful medieval village. 🤙🏻✌🏻🤟🏻
Life isn't it wonderful 🤯. The drive down hill, lost/found keys. Was laughing & crying. You are a very entertaining woman. Please stay safe and enjoy the road 🌟 🤗.
Awesome video girl!!! Lol I knew you was going to find it. At least you got your spare key back for the van. Also you can go to a car parts store and get you a cool new steering wheel and a new lock! See ya next time.
Ame I watch you Gigi and your Mom & Dad and their babies. You guys are so real and honest. You’re traveling in style and I’m so happy to be part of that. Ame is one beautiful young spirit…she’s me when I was as younger”Drama” bust busy.👍 Great taste in her music and attire. God look after you all. See you guys on the road again!!!👍❤️🙏🌈🌹😎🇺🇸
You were a real drama Queen in this one Ame. Now onto the jungle!
😂 this is why I love watching you! ❤ I know u were in a serious stressful situation but Ame, that's shits funny, it's because u know how to handle the situation!! Thank God you finally found the keys!!!! LOL😂 stay safe and as always keep on truckin!!❤❤
dear Ame...your video was fantastic because it's you. it's GiGi, .it's Gloria… I try watching television it is just too corrupt …just kills my soul … But being with your channel you created leaves me feeling wonderful. I stay because you're simply the best place to be. So I can't wait until next Friday to see what you put together for us. Huge Thank you I mean that…
I always take a cordless grinder with a cutting disc on my travels, also handy for wheel clamps or any other "lockins" that may happen
What can I say, Ame?... but I am hapy you are a free woman again!... Love you, girl!... Keep safe, we all wish you a great week!
Maybe we can see the jungle next week. I was so pumped for this Spanish Jungle adventure! 😍 Can't believ you found that key on the beach. Enjoy your week.
You are so HUMAN. I love it
Life literally was like 'nope, not that direction' 🤞🏽 Wishing u all safe travels dear Ame!
I love the blue outfit that you had on in the beginning of this video.... I am always happy to see one of your videos
Ame, you are FANTASTIC!!
WE LOVE YOU!!❤❤❤
Thank you for I'm not the only one. It's the lil' battles we fight with ourselves. I've been there. The elation is indescribable when you find them.
Very glad it all had a happy ending and you found your keys please keep them safe
Thanks for the sip of tea Ame! That's a lot of drama for one day.
I am sorry you had to deal with all that Ame , you were amazing and beautiful. Good day in the life of Ame!
Ame we have a brand new steering wheel for Gloria you can pic it up from our Cambridge shop next time you come to England or fit it for you x
That's so sweet !
Hi Ame,
It sucks to lose your keys 🔑. I am glad that you got a hold of a locksmith and everything worked out for you and Gigi. ❤🐾 I think the locksmith guy should’ve put something on your van seat and steering wheel to prevent the burn mark but the main thing is that you two are safe. 😊
Hi Ame Ernie from America. Another day another adventure in the life of Ame. Love your videos.
Ame your so resilient. Keep being you. I’m sure many Guardian Angels 🙏✨🥂 r taking care of you. So stressful though. your free ..that’s the main thing 💜☮️
Wow Ame, what a traumatic time for you ! I really felt for you in this video, but you still managed to keep that smile even though I guess you were far from happy. Amazed at the damage the locksmith did, would have thought that he could have just picked it ... not sure you had a good deal from him. Well done though despite the language barrier, finding the key afterwards was ironic to say the least. Under the circumstances don't worry about the length of the video. Take care and stay safe 🧡
Such a cute video. Looking forward to more travels with you.
Best episode so far 😂♥️
You did it very well and hopefully it could be sorted out no damaging Gloria so much. We can say you didn't get bored this week hehe. Glad you're free again in the jungle lol.
omg I can't believe you found the keys after everything!!! hilarious and maddening.. 🤠
Can we just really say how impressive it is you drove a RHD van Stick down that mountain
You’re GREAT, keep going.
I love your videos. Being a pet lover, my favorite parts are Gigi, she is a sweetheart!
Too funny! Love you !❤❤
