Love the video! Seems a shame that some of us women still have to explain why we dont want children 😔
And it's nobody else's business anyway. I don't think it's selfish to want your own time. I think it's more selfish to breed child after child.
I personally don't find it odd that two loving ladies together as a couple don't want children, what I find beyond odd is people whom have children & don't care for them, have them taken off of them & put into care & far worse. Well done you for being honest with yourselves & not just having kids to please others cos society says women should have them. Xx
Yeah that’s very true
This! Plus odd that anyone else has an opinion on whether someone else has children or not 🤷♀️
Also, it's not selfish to not have children- don't put yourself down just for not wanting kids :)
I totally agree that you shouldn't share your park ups. Your safety is paramount and other van lifers ought to do their own research into where they can or can't park up. I've previously looked at the clothing company as I'd like to purchase some of their clothing. Unfortunately, they limit the range of sizes that they offer for females.......would be great if you relayed that fact back to them, thanks. Have a great Christmas 🎄
Yeah we will 👍
Currently in Spain and it's almost comical when I navigate to a spot on Park4Night and it's rammed full of campers. Yet half a mile down the road there'll be a equally or better place with nobody there!
Guys you are a breath of fresh air for me ,I'm disabled can not do what you do ,but you sharing your vlogs and places that you go is like me travelling through your eyes ,.I really hope you enjoyed Scotland
Loved this one! Especially the look of SHEER PANIC on Emily's face over the "one snack for the rest of your life" question! And the banter. And the hugs. And the expertise. Thanks!
One snack forever is scary 😂
Your definitely not selfish to not want children! You do what you want for you! There are so many people having children for money, or more for family or other people. Good on you xxxx
Never wanted it to end girls, a smile on my face all the way through. Integrity and Honesty and Love shining through. For us chaps who don't know about monthly cycles, can you explain which snacks go with which emotion please. I am just miserable all the time except when watching you two.
That might be sometimes more sweet treats required and sometimes more salty 🙂
😂😂 chocolate is definitely for near the time for me
my response to the wife when she bit my head of was always would you like some chocolate dear
Dave, Oh Dave. go get a bar of Galaxy, and some Cappochinos.
I giggled throughout this video. You are so right about being comfortable in your own skin. I think I was 50 before I felt it was ok to be me. Vanlife rocks! Even if we only found it after retirement.
Oh yeah so got to be comfortable
when you come to Australia be sure to check out the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Some of the most beautful beaches down the southern end, known as The Bottom End, also Innes National Park..... truly breathtaking.
Totally agree 100% with not sharing park ups as safety comes first.
Thank you for everything that you share. Your vids are so interesting and refreshing. You 2 are one of my favorites bc you aren't doing unnecessary skin shots, you really and truly love your dog and can and not just to use them for vids, you to are an amazing loving couple yet individuals. And you're not continuously begging or promoting stuff. You should both should be so very proud of all that you have created.
Thank you that’s really lovely of you to say
And Norway love you as well. Welcome back.
😀😀
Nice comments about Sweden!!! Has a Brit. I moved here in 96. And yes it's very laid back here. It's rare to hear a car using its horn. And people in general obey the road laws. And we even don't see that many police on the roads for weeks and weeks. I just got my first van a couple of weeks ago and are converting it now.
Omg, I know its a second comment but you guys are such a wonderful example of how a healthy, loving relationship should be. So glad you share your lives on UA-cam. OK, nuff soppy shizzle! 😇
Aw thank you
A great Q&A session. Made me laugh quite a few times! Really looking forward to the live on the 28th and your next trips.. have a great rest together (you both deserve it) and a fantastic Christmas. Love to you both and sending cuddles to AJ and Summer xx
🐾❤️🐾 🎄 🎁 🎅 🎄
If ever you get down to the Rhone Loire..... There's a free parkup with water and grey water disposal post code "69610" The village is "St Genis L'Argentière".... Oh and the walks and scenery is just lovely
You two can do whatever you want to and others can bugger off if they don't like it. It would be a dream though, if you would come to the US, namely Ohio! Love your humor so much!
Hi to you both, will try to watch you live on the 28th December, that's the day I'll be 70 years old, I started life in 1952, not sure where the middle 50 years went .?
We have sold up and fulltime now.
Been motorhoming for many years, and love the life.
Keep up your lovely fresh ways.
Get a dehumidifier to help dry your clothes when hooked to shore power. Works for me. Takes up room though.
great Q&A 👍 and bloody good advice that "dont give a shit what ppl think of you"!! i do live by it, have for many years now.
No kids is fabulous! I'm an aunty, dog mum, van owner, adventure seeking happy 54 year old who has never regretted not having children.
Ps....have you tried a salad spinner for drying small items? I have a large one that even spins out my t-shirts and leggings. One at a time but it really helps 🙂
No way and no I ain’t tried that but now I need to
Recon you could drive almost all the way to Australia.
Me and my wife decided we never wanted children before we got married. Once we were given a right rollicking from a couple who we worked with asking why on earth did we get married if we didn’t want children. Some people eh?! Loving your vlogs. Keep going please. Out of all of the UA-camr I follow, yours is the one I look forward to the most. PS, I found you from Cruising the Cut
Yeah that’s crazy
I was once told that because I didn't want kids I shouldn't date either! And one ex-boyfriend's mum told me she didn't understand any woman who didn't want children.
I have two, now adult children that I love so much. It’s rewarding, but very hard and restricting. I completely understand why some chose not to have them.
Lou, I love your way with words, swear words that is. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes to a canal boat & yes it was David from Cruising the Cut that suggested your Vlogs which we enjoy very much
I just like you two alot and I'm going to be there when you go live😄❄️⛄️👍.
Louise - Yes, you are a fast talker, woodpecker fast, and you never stumble (maybe I just have slow ears), but I found a way to not miss a word...I turn on subtitles!!! .....and I'm a native English speaker...It works great. There's nothing wrong with devoting your lives to exploration rather than hearth and home....men have been doing it forever. It's not selfish at all to want to meet and understand people from everywhere and explore the environments where they live, with open minds and enthusiasm....it's why your channel is the best on UA-cam. Keep it up ladies. xo Suzi
We love exploring Lou the most of course 😂
Sports wear merchandise and hats 🧢 merch I think should be a must 😊
And when it comes to changing Van you should raffle off the van you have that will make you enough to have an amazing brand new van, with all mod cons :)
So potentially Canal Boat Vibe coming? And I reckon Lou is a Ferraro Rocher - hard shell and a soft centre!
The next time you go to Sweden you should visit the west coast. The nature and landscape is quite different from that of the east coast and I can recommend a boat trip in the Gothenburg archipelago.
You Guys are amazing. Its as simple as that. Your Vlogs are just a pleasure to watch😉
So enjoyed this video! Lou you put so much work into making these videos fun and Emily you always make me laugh!
Well said. Travelled a bit myself in and out of the RAF and don’t believe a word of what appears in the U.K. media (don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story). Interesting video again.
Sat here with huge grin on my face listening to you both! Love your honesty and the genuine love you have for each other. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you both. 😀
😀😀😀
Buy clothes as you need them, just have a basic kit then visit markets or 2ndhand/marketplace for extras you need
You two compliment each other beautifully. Love your channel 🥰
Lou you definitely a natural crunchy mixed seed and honey bar!
Good vlogs girls. No do not share park ups. Good Q & A .
Definitely a Galaxy for Louise...or a Dime bar 😉😁. You guys are fab and your subscriber number proves it...along with the amount of views...you are simply great to watch....quality 👌✊🙏. Merry Christmas to you both, Summer and AJ and all the very best for 2023 😁👍💝💝💝🎄🎅🐾🎉😘
You are very sweet to take on a bunch of the questions that aren’t really anybody else’s business. After a while, I guess people start to feel like they really know you. All I can say is I enjoy virtually spending time with you and Summer and AJ. Have a great break!
Canal boat hey, That should be fun lol I got the Air2s that drone is just out of this world and Lou would love it.
Don't forget to re-check the vans GVM after my box arrives- someone may weigh a bit more :) :) Also putting my hand up to host when you come to Australia- I have all of the space.x
Totally agree. Safety first.
I really enjoy watching your vids even though there not 24-7 but they still embrace all that is van life 🤗 keep up the fantastic work xx
Very glad we watched Liam and Janine first because you cheered us up and made us smile 😊
Glad we could 😀😀
Absolutely love you two! Love the banter back and forth. My wife and I are 71 and live in San Diego CA with our 2 Chihuahuas. I binge UA-cam on Sundays. Thanks for the great videos
😀😀😀
Lou , you are a Cadburys Wildlife bar !! (i don't think they make them anymore. )
Have a lovely peaceful christmas x
Woohoo! You are intending visiting Australia! I shall try to stay alive and fit enough to offer to host you through my local area in the Central West Tablelands of NSW because it’s spectacular country.
Do what is best for you guys and stay safe!
I am totally the same about mint chocolate. But I like each without the other a LOT. I agree that you shouldn’t share your parkups if you don’t want to. Your reasoning makes sense.
My face is aching from smiling so much….you two are just great…thank you so much. xx
Much like everyone else’s comments, you two are the business! Really funny and entertaining but more importantly, true and honest. ❤️ your vlogs are of the highest calibre. I also found myself either smiling or chuckling throughout the vid 😂
Thanks 😀
Please make sure you make the effort to go to Tasmania when you eventually get to Australia. You won't be dissapointed ❤️
Loved this video, so many basics about vanlife all true & told with such a lot of humour. Emily looks so well after her holiday! Enjoy your break, looking forward to seeing you both in 2023! Sue & 🐶 🐶
Please don’t ever change who you are your personalities are brilliant and roll on January can’t wait to see your adventures.have you been to the Black Forest it’s supposed to be really stunning and campervan friendly
We won’t and no we have not
Australia would love to see you…….
The biggest drawback with kids is Emily will have to share her snacks with them 🤣😂 ..... Totally agree with withholding your park ups viewers come in many flavours including Nutty
Thankfully I am now of an age that kids is just not a thing any more, but even when it could have been I always told people, I love being a stellar auntie. I got to have great fun with my nieces and nephews. Each one of them got a very special day just for them when they turned 14 and I would take them to London, go to some of the hot trending venues, restaurants and sights. Just make the day all about them. I have taken them on foreign holidays when their parents were a bit tight for cash, its just the best role I could have had. No kids, no regrets - at all.
Just ❤️ you two ... Such fun to watch, thank you.
UA-cam beginner, Lou? You're having a laugh! Absolutely an expert and hugely professional. I'm glad you enjoy interacting with the comments, Em. It adds such a feeling of inclusion and being part of the Camper Vibe world.
Merch would be great, top of my list would be a suitably large mug for tea, my tipple of choice. And I've mentioned it before, I still want to pay for a channel subscription or perhaps a monthly Patreon contribution. Bearing in mind your wider travel aspirations surely that would help achieve that in due course? Please consider it again ...
Have a lovely family Christmas, big hug to AJ please on the day, and I will definitely join you for the live on the 28th.
Thank you and yeah merch would be good, we are too lazy 😂😂🤦🏻♀️
Good for you we all have to look after this planet otherwise we won't have one to enjoy.
Lou your a Crunchy bar lol we started watching you both during lockdown, you kept us sain & now the major highlight of our week, please keep up your great work xxx
😂 yeah she is
I agree! Crunchy Bar! Quite long and very sweet in the middle! ❤️
Resond debates...classic. Thanks for the brilliant videos, the scenery has been gorgeous
“I’m a terrible passenger” I feel seen! I always have to drive as well. Love you both!
My two favourite ladies. A great Q&A, thank you ladies ! Thank you so much. Do you have a PO box where people can send Christmas gifts ? I live on a 60' canal boat, but I luckily found your channel before David pointed you out. Emily would be a star bar and louise would be a Yorkie bar.
oh PLEASE go on a canal boat holiday to give it a try! :) as for the snack name.. I have a retro one from the 80s - Drifter ;)
I totally agree don’t share park ups stay safe x
we lived on a boat on the medway for 15 years ,only moved to land a year ago , it was Wonderfull , but were getting older now .. and it was getting harder ..
Well when you come to Australia....Please come to Adelaide there is always a driveway here waiting for you to park on.
You are a great couple and this was a fun video.
Somebody once said " stick's and stones can break my bones but words don't bother me" love you both. 🥰
Totally agree that your safety is paramount. You must take care of yourselves. Love your vlogs, I am stuck in my life as a teacher, my choice as I am fufilling my life vocation, but thank you for allowing me to live the adventure through your travels. Merry Christmas ladies 🎄
Great vlog guys.... merchantdice I think it would be great I would buy a Mug and a cap... Imagine Louise wearing a cap with Campervibe written on it.
Safety is very important,so keep your privacy. Also a good marriage is full of compromises, & being happy.,weather you are gay or not.good video you two & thank you, Keep having a ball, Elaine from Queensland,Australia.
You just need a medium size bus. That way the water tank can be under your bed or a sitting area and you would have room for a shower/drying room
Emily's description of her driving sounds just like my Wife's and therefore much like Lou I'm am terrible (often terrified) passenger.
For what it's worth: This was the FIRST Q&A of this length I ever finished. 👍 The odds are totally against it, but I would sooo like to cook a meal for you in my van if we would run in to each other next year. Planning to do a paragliding orientated trip trough UK in 2023 😁 O, and have a few drinks 😉
Hi guys the best trips are the magic mystery tours.
Hey girl's , your both smooth !! , lou for what you do ...... & em , well for just being em ... nothing more to say ..
Love your vibe, you're funny and 'real' which is very nice to look at. Also, not having children is not selfish. ❤
Ohhh I'm the exact same with mint!
As for merch van stickers for the community would be a great start 🤞
We have stickers available, £5 for two ordered via PayPal campervibe6@gmail.com 😀
I too am a terrible passenger Love your content and banter.
Will you live video be at 8PM UK time on the 28th of December? Enjoyed this fun Q and A. Okay, you two have fun and have a wonderful day.
Roaring at 'They're not tantrums, they're, um, reasoned debates.' LOL.
There was a TV fishing program years ago that never revealed the location of the fishing spots for the second reason you mentioned (and this was well before the internet), even a miniscule proportion of viewers going there would swamp the place and destroy the peace and solitude that it was often chosen for.If you said exactly where you were / had been you'd in effect be (inadvertently) leaving carnage behind you as hundreds of vand and cars and sightseers turned up (and than no doubt criticised you for picking such busy places)
I enjoy these sort of vids, you are so relaxed and interactive.
Oh Lou, you would be a chocolate bunny, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit 😂😂😂😂
Have a merry Christmas and a healthy new year 🎉
Shazam is great that's what I've been doing with your choons
if you did a hoodie with the camper vibe slogan on it I would definitely bye. love the way you both interact together too I agree you should never give out where you are to many weirdos out there you got a new fan have a good xmas
And yet another super Vlog from you two....😊🥰👍
Most enjoyable ladies, like others I smiled all the way through as your pair are so infectious with your humour. Have a nice break and a super Christmas. 👋
Great video. Very informative and love the interaction between you two!
Hi, great video as usual. When you next do a Q&A could you update us on the Falken Tyres mpg wise? On personal question note how / where did you both meet? I am always asking people this and one of my favourites is a man who first saw his wife sat on a roof re-pointing the chimney with her mother and thought ‘that is the girl for me’ they have been married 50 years! You guys are a bright spot in what is currently a crazy world.
God, Love my kids, but I still can't get rid or one! He know's he has it made at home with the folks. Enjoy your time off and the Holidays girls, your work hard entertaining us. Thank you. Now when you do come to the USA, make sure you do the east coast in the Fall, it's breathtaking. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
😂😂 yeah my brother was like that as well
Need to see your travel photos! Seychelles! S. Africa, Australia!
Great video, very funny. Enjoy your break & Merry Christmas. Hugs to AJ & Summer. Hugs Wiltshire
In regards to what chocolate bar ...... I'm voting Yorkie
Good point on the park ups, safety first. X
Enjoy a fabulous Christmas break and New Year❤🎁😘
Thank you so much gals. You two are so sweet and so down to earth.
Thanks for the update and answering all the questions. Nice to see two women in the world living their dreams.
I'm another woman that's never been interested in children of my own, so you are not alone.
I love flying solo in the world.
Tried those chocolate mint matchsticks, I think you mentioned them in one of your videos, I was curious and ordered a pack from the UK. It took a while to get here, but I really enjoyed them.
One positive of UA-cam and social media is getting to connect with kindred souls from around the world.
Merry Christmas to you both from the mountains of North Carolina in the USA!
Enjoy the holiday season. Happy trails.
😊❄️☮️💜🎶🏳️🌈🌎
Thank you and oh no not the mint ones, you need the choc orange ones, they are nice or they do caramel ones as well 😀
@@campervibe the caramel one sound good I'll order them next!😀👍
