Lee - I am so glad to hear that you feel more confident in your own skin ! Because trust me - you are one of this women who doesn’t NEED a scrap of makeup to look drop dead gorgeous! Thanks for answering all our questions and hey if luck to you during your pit stop!
Your such a breath of fresh air. xoxo LOVE , LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. The three of you are such a lovely family, and awesome personalities the best honestly!! If I ever like met you guys it would just be such a pleasure because you guys are so down-to-earth. a lot of people gravitate towards you, Max & occy personalities. you guys are just a lovely bunch LOL
Aw thank you so so much! We truly feel inspired to share because of you and the rest of this uplifting community on here! Where in the world are you living? It would be great if our paths did cross one day xx
Yo! I'm an australian from Melbourne and lived in Barrie for a year or so. O'Donellys was a staple for me. My now wife is from Barrie and we now live in Melbourne. We love your work and want to life a van life to some extent or another in future. Keep it up, champions!
Leeeeeeee!! ❤❤❤🤗 Love you! I'm so happy to see you. And you're in another great outfit! (I'm finishing out my wardrobe, I'm not actually clothes obsessed haha) That's awesome that you've become more comfortable, confident, and empowered through the experience of vanlife. Isn't it great that life provides us with these unexpected and beautiful gems? I hope you guys do get to go all the way down through S. America, but I also hope we get to meet someday. You're such a beautiful couple + doggo, inside and out, that it would be lovely. Fill your tummy, fill your mind, fill someone's life. ❤
Aww thank you Teona! 🌷 I do agree that we are always evolving as humans whether on a personal level or as a race! I also wish our paths can cross eventually, it would be great to chat in person 💕
If you're intending to visit Brazil, I suggest you to visit the most Eastern point of the American continent, it is in João Pessoa, Paraíba, as well as the entire northeastern coast, the landscapes are amazing. Love your videos, good luck guys.
❤️ your channel! Going to watch all your videos again now that you're monetized, you deserve every penny! Keep these awesome videos going! Can't wait for the next one!
i love this! We are moving into an RV full time in a month and i will def be using some of these tips!! Thanks for sharing!!! I love your vlogs and following your journey!! Hope we cross paths :)
Hi Lee. So very glad the three of you got monetized. I'm looking forward to the reunion and in the mean time some nice drone shots from Max and Occy. I hope you meet your monetary goal soon so you can get back on the road. Take care.
I've been using my diva cup for 10 years! I can definitely vouch for it. Friend of mine bought me one while I was working on an organic farm in Nova Scotia. I travelled all over South East Asia (10 countries) and lived in North East Asia for two years and I don't know how I would have done it without it. I've seen some newer options coming out as well sold at MEC (where I work/worked, I'm on MAT leave now) so I'm hoping it will become the new norm.
You know when your dog is truly a member of the family, when you put them in a sentence about giving you space during the time of the month, lol gotta love our baby's.
You don’t need too much make-up Lee! I admire you guys! Max is really cool! Keep up what you guys are doing! Always watching your Vlog! Sending my love from the Philippines! ❤️🌏🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I used to have Lush shampoos as well but they were way to aggressive for my scalp (check out their ingredients online, unfortunately not all of them are natural). I therefore switched to organic shampoo bars and, like you, I highly recommend these to anyone because they last for a long time and they are the best for traveling. Can also be used as normal soap of course.
I love how you said that occy also gives you privacy :D such a sweet boy!!! :) thanks for the Q&A, very helpful :) and I personally would love a 'fitness routine video' :) xx
So happy that you guys are now monetized and are consistently growing!! You both deserve all of the success that’s coming your way! It must be hard being apart but like you said you’ll be back together as a family before you know it! :) And in the mean time since I’m local I’ll have to pop into Donaleighs and say hi ;) keep hustling Lee, you’ve got this!
My fiance is going to love this! We live in our van full time and ride mountain bikes for a living and she loves seeing tips from other women out there living in vans! So rad what you guys are doing and maybe will link up for a surf someday!
Hey guys, that would be awesome! Max had a mountain bike with us through Canada and the US but we sold both of our bikes before traveling through Mexico. If you make your way through Central America, we'd love to meet up!
Guys u’re just awesome... your experience and positivity inspire me so much to follow my dreams! Thank you so much for sharing with us your van life i really wish you all the best for your future and of course for this channel! Good job 👍🏻 P.s. pleae Max do not take this in the wrong way but Lee you’re just so damn beautiful 😍
Aw thank you Dan, we are so happy that our travels are inspiring you to follow your dreams. Thank you for the well wishes and we are sending the love and positivity right back to you in your future adventures xx
Hi Lee, it's so nice to see you again, but I really miss seeing you with Max and Occy. They say women wear make-up to look natural, and I say that your beauty shines through when you go natural, and Lee you are "GLOWING". I am so happy to be a part of your family. Love & Peace ... Jay
That's how I feel. I don't wear as much makeup as I use to because I think being comfortable in your skin is empowering indeed! I do think skincare is important though. You are very naturally beautiful. Keep it up!
Your channel growth is very impressive. It is easy to see why as you guys are very likeable/inspirational people who have great personalities! It will not be long until someone stumbles across your videos and offers your tremendous opportunities. Take advantage of those! I hope to retire early and travel as much as possible with the wife once our kids turn 18 and go off to college (We are 27 & 29 now and the kids are only 1 and 3 lol) so plenty of time to plan and save more. Until then we will just continue to go on our family vacations and live vicariously through your vlogs. Keep up the good work! Cheers from West central Ohio!
Aw thank you for sharing your thoughtful words with us! We hope you meet your retirement goal and enjoy every moment with your family until that day comes!! And thank you SO much for being a part of this community and sharing (virtually) our experiences with us xx
Hey Max & Lee!!! I just found this channel..im a big fan of travel and im into travelling! You should come & visit Philippines, Thailand or anywhere in SE Asia one day..been in PH backpacking for a month last April!!🍁🍁🍁
Yeah, you really don't need any make up. Very nice aura and personalities. Glad you enjoyed my Mexico. Fun and safe travels! I would like to visit Canada soon.
AOTM...so good to see you thank you for answering all those questions your my girl...can’t wait to see you back on the road....Love from Houston Texas P.S.... YES on the fitness video but w Max and OCCY!!!! 🧗♀️🧘♀️🏄♀️🏊♀️...oh and more cooking vlogs too!!!
Hey Rhonda! Now that we have our new fridge back up and working, i'll get on Max to practice his cooking ;) Thanks for your support as always xx I can't wait to be back with the boys!!!
Lee!! I love that you are going to show us what you are doing! I bet your family is so happy to see you. Can you clarify? Did you say after your 3 mons...the next trip is to go to the end of South America?
Yes! When I get back to Max and Occy probably in Nicaragua we are going to continue our travels down south through Central and South America :) xx I am going to start filming some more adventures on my days off on my end too x
Yes! Would love to see your fitness routine! And just curious.. what we’re yalls families reaction/response to you wanting to live in a van? :) love the page! Y’all are awesome.
Thanks Meghan :) Our families both showed us support about our lifestyle decision. Although it may not be what either of them would do on their own they saw the draw that we felt to it xx
On the topic of “that time of the month,” please consider using a cup. I discovered them about 20 years ago and have found them to be a life changer. I do a lot of distance biking and long term tent camping (3-4 weeks at a time). I don’t know how I would do that if I didn’t have a menstrual cup!
I went through the same stages of wearing less and less--and now no--makeup while traveling through South East Asia. I even cut my hair completely off--almost buzzed it. It was incredibly empowering. I haven't looked back since--I didn't even wear makeup on my wedding day or shoes! My husband and I (we are an international as well, he is American and I'm Canadian, we met while working on Jeju Island, S. Korea) eloped in Hawaii and stayed for 5 years. We're now back in Nova Scotia having a baby, but have plans to move to Puerto Rico once my husband receives his avionics license (licensing is better on an international scale in Canada!). We once considered doing a van trip and still are considering, maybe just Australia and California. We did do a motorcycle trip across Vietnam. You guys would love South East Asia. The food alone is amazing and the people equally amazing!
Soooo happy to see you!!!! Miss your face 😘🙌🏼🎉 I definitely see the TRUE confidence in you and ggiirrll it's gorgeous!!! I love confidence in people especially women.. I love building up other women!! I feel like most women are down about themselves, which is frustrating lol because everyone is beautiful and awesome in their own way! But I get it at the same time since I'm not as confident anymore in myself as I use to be lol. You're very encouraging/inspiring so thank you. I hope to have that kind of confidence again sooner rather than later lol. I also suffer from redness on my face and have been looking for healthy/natural products to use. If you find one that you love, let us know about it as I personally would enjoy trying it lol! Be safe sweet girl! Can't wait for the next video!
Aww thank you Mattie xx You have such a positive attitude girl, just keep that up and you will be radiating confidence! I will definitely share what product I choose if/when I fall in love with one as mine is out and it's time for a change! xx
Diva cup if you have a toilet and sink combo access. Reusable cloth pads if you have sink and/or laundry machine access. Tampons if you have garbage access.
Thanks for the tips Courtney - tampons is where I am at now but I would like to transition to the diva cup or a similar version to be more environmentally friendly long term xx
Great direct & informative video. My husband and I are class B rv vanlifers (21ft). Not having a shower or toilet in the van as a lady must be very challenging sometimes... my deepest respect. I also have not had much of a makeup routine since being in the van & honestly I've been struggling. I'm not as naturally beautiful as you are, so it's been a challenge for me... I would say I'm learning to accept it as a trade off for the freedom ;) Oh & p.s.I would also like to see a vanlife fitness routine video :) & watching you all in europe would be AMAZING! Hope it happens! :) We would love to take our van to europe one day. Best of luck in reaching your goals & so happy you all are doing so well on youtube! Well deserved
Max is a lucky man. You are a great person and you possess a lot of positive energies! Before I watch your videos I would have thought that people like you and Max are really really rare to find in this day and age. I still think it is such! However, you guys give out such a positive aspect of life, more than anything on social media right now. Stay true. This is the definition of truth, do not let the financial incentives or monetized goals get in the way of your awesome beings and goals. Question 1:Are you guys planning on moving to Canada afterwards together or you guys will be traveling on a different continent right after this south America trip? Question 2: Do you and Max workout everyday? You guys seem fit, not buff or bulky but healthy and versatile. I used to workout a lot a lot during my younger years but adulting makes it hard, so I want to know your perspective on it! Good luck beautiful girl & happy guy! Eyes on you!
Aw thank you so much Harry. That means a lot to hear that you see us for who we truly are and that we are able to connect with you and everyone on this community through this platform. We appreciate your advice! To answer your questions, No, we don't have a plan to move back to Canada right away. As of right now we are looking at heading to Europe to live/work/travel afterwards... but the rest is unwritten and who knows where the road will lead us. Honestly, no, not in the traditional sense of working out at a gym or following a fitness routine. We are very active and love to be outside hiking, swimming or walking.. other than that I enjoy practicing yoga. We are in shape from this lifestyle and we do eat very clean - mainly plant based. Changing our diets was the biggest factor for us. We immediately had more energy therefore wanted to be more active and in turn are really happy! Thanks again x
Hey Quintin we are editing on Adobe premiere... we started with a trial and now that we are understanding it more we are hesitant to try anything else. We film with our Sony RX 100 usually but Max has that camera in central america therefore I used my iphone for this video :)
I know the comment is 2years old, but sincere compliments always work for me. 😊 Hope you can see this message.. Enjoy life and don’t worry about naysayers. There are always the sincere and the jealous, and the confident and the insecure. We have the power to choose..
Hello Lee, you are looking good. Girl, you work your confidence! 💪(Compliments). Make-up does not make you a woman, your inner power makes you a woman. I love your answers to the Q&A.
Thanks for the informative video! I love your outfit :). I would love to see your fitness routine! It would be awesome if you guys came to Europe! Lots to see. Lots of love from the Netherlands x
Firstly - love you guys and esp Occy! Probably not the right video to put this question in, but wanted to put it in your latest video so you can see it. I am in Ontario as well, and was wondering what did you guys do for car insurance with Ontario plates? I can't find anyone who will cover a self conversion :(
Hey! Insurance was a pain in the butt for us as well. The only way for us to receive coverage was to go through an insurance broker and get our conversion professionally appraised. After those 2 steps we received coverage from a company called "Facility". It's not ideal and more expensive however it was our only option. Best of luck with it x
Hey Aiden, we both have a wide variety of music preference... we do like indie/folk as well as classic rock, depending on our mood we will listen to dance/ electric or acoustic/ relaxing music. So I would say it varies most on our mood - and access to wifi as we only use Spotify and we have limited space on our devices for offline downloads!
Coconut oil is the only thing that I'd put on my face. I don't want anything to touch my face that I won't theoretically be able to eat (I don't eat any oil in cooking which is consistent w/ my HCLF whole, plant based, vegan lifestyle) except for sunscreen. Cruelty free/parabens/sulfate free makeup minimal makeup (worn sometimes) is great.
I agree Anna... I forgot to mention in the video but as well for skin care I do find there is a direct correlation between what I eat and how my skin reacts.. The cleaner I eat = the clearer my skin xx
I don't have a good answer for you here. We haven't run into many issues - we name a few in our video "Is Mexico Safe". Otherwise we do our research, plan our route and hope for the best.
Just love your videos! You are so naturally beautiful that it is great to hear that you are minimizing the need for the so-called beauty products. Curious though, that you still shave!
Hey Cate, first of all thank you! xx As for shaving, I personally just love the feeling of smooth skin. I also feel it is easier to keep clean with less hair especially since I have less access to constant showers while living in the van. I don't feel that I need to shave for anyone however I enjoy doing it for my self. xx
So sad that Lee’s story ended so soon. I would have loved to seen her grow old . Rip LEE ❤️❤️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Only Lee could be that beautiful without make-up. Natural beauty.
Missing you every day Lee 💔💔
Lee - I am so glad to hear that you feel more confident in your own skin ! Because trust me - you are one of this women who doesn’t NEED a scrap of makeup to look drop dead gorgeous! Thanks for answering all our questions and hey if luck to you during your pit stop!
Thank YOU for all of your love and support xx
So adorable ❤ your love lives on.
Your such a breath of fresh air. xoxo LOVE , LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
The three of you are such a lovely family, and awesome personalities the best honestly!! If I ever like met you guys it would just be such a pleasure because you guys are so down-to-earth. a lot of people gravitate towards you, Max & occy personalities. you guys are just a lovely bunch LOL
Aw thank you so so much! We truly feel inspired to share because of you and the rest of this uplifting community on here! Where in the world are you living? It would be great if our paths did cross one day xx

Yo! I'm an australian from Melbourne and lived in Barrie for a year or so. O'Donellys was a staple for me. My now wife is from Barrie and we now live in Melbourne. We love your work and want to life a van life to some extent or another in future. Keep it up, champions!

My Husband got me started watching you and I love your videos! You guys are so cute and genuine ❤️.
If you're intending to visit Brazil, I suggest you to visit the most Eastern point of the American continent, it is in João Pessoa, Paraíba, as well as the entire northeastern coast, the landscapes are amazing.
Love your videos, good luck guys.
Thank you for sharing this travel advice with us Ellen. I have added this to our list xx
Love keeping up with you guys... will enjoy any additional videos you make. Have a blessed weekend. 😘
Aw thank you so much Lisa, have a wonderful weekend as well xx

Lorelai's World - Thanks for pointing this out. A great idea for added support! 💡
Aw thank you so much for your support! We really appreciate it xx
Tragic loss, such an amazingly beautiful girl inside and outside, a beautiful soul.. God bless 😥💔🙏❤️
i love this! We are moving into an RV full time in a month and i will def be using some of these tips!! Thanks for sharing!!! I love your vlogs and following your journey!! Hope we cross paths :)
Aw we hope so too! Best of luck getting ready for your adventure and safe travels xx
Lee thanks for your video!!! Great tips. Missed you!!!
Thank you Tania! I am looking forward to vlogging soon :)
Hi Lee. So very glad the three of you got monetized. I'm looking forward to the reunion and in the mean time some nice drone shots from Max and Occy. I hope you meet your monetary goal soon so you can get back on the road. Take care.
Thank you for your continued support Irene xx
Have you tried a diva cup for less waste? Its something to look into.
Yes that is along the lines of what my girlfriends are starting! I actually have recently ordered one to try it out! Thanks for sharing xx
Cool! It really is a great option for most women. I'm glad I made the transition.
I've been using my diva cup for 10 years! I can definitely vouch for it. Friend of mine bought me one while I was working on an organic farm in Nova Scotia. I travelled all over South East Asia (10 countries) and lived in North East Asia for two years and I don't know how I would have done it without it. I've seen some newer options coming out as well sold at MEC (where I work/worked, I'm on MAT leave now) so I'm hoping it will become the new norm.
You know when your dog is truly a member of the family, when you put them in a sentence about giving you space during the time of the month, lol gotta love our baby's.
Haha it is true Amanda. I couldn't imagine a life without dogs!
Lee it was so good to hear and see you, hope everything is going good for you! We miss and you and can't wait till you are back with Max & Occy
Thanks Deb! I also cannot wait for that - time is flying though and I am on track to reaching my goal so I look forward to everything coming up :)
OMG yayay I've been waiting for this vid!! Thanks for answering all the questions!!
Thank you for taking the time to watch it Anita x
You don’t need too much make-up Lee! I admire you guys! Max is really cool! Keep up what you guys are doing! Always watching your Vlog! Sending my love from the Philippines! ❤️🌏🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Stumbled on your channel and really enjoy your videos!! Thanks Max and Lee!
so pumped that you're still making an appearance in the videos!
Aw thanks Megan x I was happy to connect with you all again
I love your lifestyle and how comfortable you are in your own skin.
I used to have Lush shampoos as well but they were way to aggressive for my scalp (check out their ingredients online, unfortunately not all of them are natural). I therefore switched to organic shampoo bars and, like you, I highly recommend these to anyone because they last for a long time and they are the best for traveling. Can also be used as normal soap of course.
Nessa Goes Wild good to know re lush. What organic bars last a long time? I’m on the hunt..
I'm from Germany and I usually go with local brands from our unpackaged store. Maybe they have regional companies in your area as well?
There’s a vegan professional hair care line called Neuma that I use for myself and clients.
I love how you said that occy also gives you privacy :D such a sweet boy!!! :) thanks for the Q&A, very helpful :) and I personally would love a 'fitness routine video' :) xx
So happy that you guys are now monetized and are consistently growing!! You both deserve all of the success that’s coming your way! It must be hard being apart but like you said you’ll be back together as a family before you know it! :)
And in the mean time since I’m local I’ll have to pop into Donaleighs and say hi ;) keep hustling Lee, you’ve got this!
Aw thank you Emily for your support and encouragement xx Yes come down to the pub and say Hi this summer!! xx
You are inspiring and I love watching the videos you guys put out!
Aw thank you for being a part of this wonderful community xx
Hi Lee! Love you guys and Occy, of course! You are absolutely stunning. Love how real you guys are. Keep up the great content!
Thank you Dayna! I appreciate you taking the time to be a part of this wonderful community xx
My fiance is going to love this! We live in our van full time and ride mountain bikes for a living and she loves seeing tips from other women out there living in vans! So rad what you guys are doing and maybe will link up for a surf someday!
Hey guys, that would be awesome! Max had a mountain bike with us through Canada and the US but we sold both of our bikes before traveling through Mexico. If you make your way through Central America, we'd love to meet up!
Thanks for round 3 of Q & As! We enjoy all your videos. 🤩
Thank you Adrienne xx

Hi Lee, it's so nice to see you again, but I really miss seeing you with Max and Occy. They say women wear make-up to look natural, and I say that your beauty shines through when you go natural, and Lee you are "GLOWING". I am so happy to be a part of your family. Love & Peace ... Jay

Great video Lee! Thank you so much for sharing. Got some good ideas to try out for myself. 🌈✨🧡
Glad to hear Amanda, I hope what you took away from this video will work for you xx
That's how I feel. I don't wear as much makeup as I use to because I think being comfortable in your skin is empowering indeed! I do think skincare is important though. You are very naturally beautiful. Keep it up!
I agree and I still need to improve on my skin care - if you have any suggestions of products you love please share xx
D W agreed!!
Great Q&A Lee very interesting to Express your feelings and how things were comfortable in your position good to see you are doing well.
Missssssssed you ... Your videos about traveling are very interesting . Keep it coming.
Thank you xx It feels good to connect with everyone again
Your channel growth is very impressive. It is easy to see why as you guys are very likeable/inspirational people who have great personalities! It will not be long until someone stumbles across your videos and offers your tremendous opportunities. Take advantage of those! I hope to retire early and travel as much as possible with the wife once our kids turn 18 and go off to college (We are 27 & 29 now and the kids are only 1 and 3 lol) so plenty of time to plan and save more. Until then we will just continue to go on our family vacations and live vicariously through your vlogs. Keep up the good work! Cheers from West central Ohio!
Aw thank you for sharing your thoughtful words with us! We hope you meet your retirement goal and enjoy every moment with your family until that day comes!! And thank you SO much for being a part of this community and sharing (virtually) our experiences with us xx

ur amazing!!! post the routine!
Great Video ! I would like a workout routine 😇
Lee!! I love that you are going to show us what you are doing! I bet your family is so happy to see you. Can you clarify? Did you say after your 3 mons...the next trip is to go to the end of South America?
Yes! When I get back to Max and Occy probably in Nicaragua we are going to continue our travels down south through Central and South America :) xx I am going to start filming some more adventures on my days off on my end too x
Yes! Would love to see your fitness routine! And just curious.. what we’re yalls families reaction/response to you wanting to live in a van? :) love the page! Y’all are awesome.
Thanks Meghan :) Our families both showed us support about our lifestyle decision. Although it may not be what either of them would do on their own they saw the draw that we felt to it xx
I am very interested in your fitness routine :) Great video, very informative
Love your videos!
On the topic of “that time of the month,” please consider using a cup. I discovered them about 20 years ago and have found them to be a life changer. I do a lot of distance biking and long term tent camping (3-4 weeks at a time). I don’t know how I would do that if I didn’t have a menstrual cup!
Yay you got ads! I’m watching the entire thing!!
Aw thank you for your support Amber! I am even getting used to letting them play all the way through :)
Definitely like to see the fitness routine, always interesting to see how people approach that while traveling.
I went through the same stages of wearing less and less--and now no--makeup while traveling through South East Asia. I even cut my hair completely off--almost buzzed it. It was incredibly empowering. I haven't looked back since--I didn't even wear makeup on my wedding day or shoes! My husband and I (we are an international as well, he is American and I'm Canadian, we met while working on Jeju Island, S. Korea) eloped in Hawaii and stayed for 5 years. We're now back in Nova Scotia having a baby, but have plans to move to Puerto Rico once my husband receives his avionics license (licensing is better on an international scale in Canada!). We once considered doing a van trip and still are considering, maybe just Australia and California. We did do a motorcycle trip across Vietnam. You guys would love South East Asia. The food alone is amazing and the people equally amazing!
Sarah Moore hello👋🏻 i am come from SEA, and my husband is American
Im from North Bay ON and love your channel!
Soooo happy to see you!!!! Miss your face 😘🙌🏼🎉
I definitely see the TRUE confidence in you and ggiirrll it's gorgeous!!! I love confidence in people especially women.. I love building up other women!! I feel like most women are down about themselves, which is frustrating lol because everyone is beautiful and awesome in their own way! But I get it at the same time since I'm not as confident anymore in myself as I use to be lol. You're very encouraging/inspiring so thank you. I hope to have that kind of confidence again sooner rather than later lol.
I also suffer from redness on my face and have been looking for healthy/natural products to use. If you find one that you love, let us know about it as I personally would enjoy trying it lol!
Be safe sweet girl!
Can't wait for the next video!
Aww thank you Mattie xx You have such a positive attitude girl, just keep that up and you will be radiating confidence! I will definitely share what product I choose if/when I fall in love with one as mine is out and it's time for a change! xx
Beautiful Lee!💖
Thank you Kathy xx
Diva cup if you have a toilet and sink combo access. Reusable cloth pads if you have sink and/or laundry machine access. Tampons if you have garbage access.
Thanks for the tips Courtney - tampons is where I am at now but I would like to transition to the diva cup or a similar version to be more environmentally friendly long term xx
Shipping the van to Europe? That sounds like a great idea. Thumbs up on the 121k subs. You two are killing it. Lol
We thought so! Thank you xx
Great direct & informative video. My husband and I are class B rv vanlifers (21ft). Not having a shower or toilet in the van as a lady must be very challenging sometimes... my deepest respect. I also have not had much of a makeup routine since being in the van & honestly I've been struggling. I'm not as naturally beautiful as you are, so it's been a challenge for me... I would say I'm learning to accept it as a trade off for the freedom ;) Oh & p.s.I would also like to see a vanlife fitness routine video :) & watching you all in europe would be AMAZING! Hope it happens! :) We would love to take our van to europe one day. Best of luck in reaching your goals & so happy you all are doing so well on youtube! Well deserved
p.s. Dr. Bronner's liquid soap is life! lol. Use it as body soap and shampoo. I will have to google the lush soap you mentioned. :)
Max is a lucky man. You are a great person and you possess a lot of positive energies! Before I watch your videos I would have thought that people like you and Max are really really rare to find in this day and age. I still think it is such! However, you guys give out such a positive aspect of life, more than anything on social media right now. Stay true. This is the definition of truth, do not let the financial incentives or monetized goals get in the way of your awesome beings and goals.
Question 1:Are you guys planning on moving to Canada afterwards together or you guys will be traveling on a different continent right after this south America trip?
Question 2: Do you and Max workout everyday? You guys seem fit, not buff or bulky but healthy and versatile. I used to workout a lot a lot during my younger years but adulting makes it hard, so I want to know your perspective on it!
Good luck beautiful girl & happy guy! Eyes on you!
Aw thank you so much Harry. That means a lot to hear that you see us for who we truly are and that we are able to connect with you and everyone on this community through this platform. We appreciate your advice! To answer your questions,
No, we don't have a plan to move back to Canada right away. As of right now we are looking at heading to Europe to live/work/travel afterwards... but the rest is unwritten and who knows where the road will lead us.
Honestly, no, not in the traditional sense of working out at a gym or following a fitness routine. We are very active and love to be outside hiking, swimming or walking.. other than that I enjoy practicing yoga. We are in shape from this lifestyle and we do eat very clean - mainly plant based. Changing our diets was the biggest factor for us. We immediately had more energy therefore wanted to be more active and in turn are really happy!
Thanks again x
yesss a workout routine would be awesome!
Good van life tips, with some good philosophy too. I'm in. 🚐
Great answer to Bailey "s question!
Hello Max and Lee live your channel. Thanks for all the great content. I am curious to know what software you use to make videos?
Hey Quintin we are editing on Adobe premiere... we started with a trial and now that we are understanding it more we are hesitant to try anything else. We film with our Sony RX 100 usually but Max has that camera in central america therefore I used my iphone for this video :)
Max & Lee thanks a million👍
I know the comment is 2years old, but sincere compliments always work for me. 😊 Hope you can see this message.. Enjoy life and don’t worry about naysayers. There are always the sincere and the jealous, and the confident and the insecure. We have the power to choose..
Hello Lee, you are looking good. Girl, you work your confidence! 💪(Compliments). Make-up does not make you a woman, your inner power makes you a woman. I love your answers to the Q&A.
Aw thank you Jessica - inner power all the way xx
Please please do another day in the life, it was so good the first time thanks x
As always awesome video! I miss Occy though!🐶
I miss Occy too Will!! But you will be seeing more of him next Wednesday x
Hi Lee! I would love to see a full fitness routine ❤
First view, liked directly subscribe. Nice video
Thank you Natalie, welcome to the community xx
Love you guys love ❤️☺️☝️😘😊
❤️ keep motivated
Thanks for the informative video! I love your outfit :). I would love to see your fitness routine! It would be awesome if you guys came to Europe! Lots to see. Lots of love from the Netherlands x
Aw thank you! And we hope too eventually!! Sending the love back xx
Great community in BARRIE...best wishes from Lake Muskoka 😀
Aw cheers!! I love Muskoka
Firstly - love you guys and esp Occy!
Probably not the right video to put this question in, but wanted to put it in your latest video so you can see it.
I am in Ontario as well, and was wondering what did you guys do for car insurance with Ontario plates? I can't find anyone who will cover a self conversion :(
Hey! Insurance was a pain in the butt for us as well. The only way for us to receive coverage was to go through an insurance broker and get our conversion professionally appraised. After those 2 steps we received coverage from a company called "Facility". It's not ideal and more expensive however it was our only option. Best of luck with it x
What is both of your choices of music ? And do they change to where you guys are ?
Hey Aiden, we both have a wide variety of music preference... we do like indie/folk as well as classic rock, depending on our mood we will listen to dance/ electric or acoustic/ relaxing music. So I would say it varies most on our mood - and access to wifi as we only use Spotify and we have limited space on our devices for offline downloads!
Coconut oil is the only thing that I'd put on my face. I don't want anything to touch my face that I won't theoretically be able to eat (I don't eat any oil in cooking which is consistent w/ my HCLF whole, plant based, vegan lifestyle) except for sunscreen. Cruelty free/parabens/sulfate free makeup minimal makeup (worn sometimes) is great.
I agree Anna... I forgot to mention in the video but as well for skin care I do find there is a direct correlation between what I eat and how my skin reacts.. The cleaner I eat = the clearer my skin xx
PS: How do you manage security issues like Marasalvatrucha MS orr narcs in Mexico????
I don't have a good answer for you here. We haven't run into many issues - we name a few in our video "Is Mexico Safe". Otherwise we do our research, plan our route and hope for the best.
Yes to additional fitness video 🏋️♀️
I would love to see a fitness routine! & love you guys ! keep the videos coming
Thanks for your positive encouragement Payton xx
I can't believe such a sweet angel is gone!!
Big fan of you both.. Love d chemistry n love between you both..made for each other couple 👫 Love from 🇮🇳
Just love your videos! You are so naturally beautiful that it is great to hear that you are minimizing the need for the so-called beauty products. Curious though, that you still shave!
Hey Cate, first of all thank you! xx As for shaving, I personally just love the feeling of smooth skin. I also feel it is easier to keep clean with less hair especially since I have less access to constant showers while living in the van. I don't feel that I need to shave for anyone however I enjoy doing it for my self. xx
Ya for self love and not caring about anything else 🙏
