We heard her say a full time mechanic is in his new family. Yiipeeee Odie gets repairs so he can continue his life of adventure ✨💫⭐️✨⭐️💫⭐️💫⭐️💫✨⭐️❤️ And they.... R going to continue their channel on a sailboat ⛵ ✨⭐️✨✨⭐️💫💫💫✨⭐️⭐️❤️ Did u buy their book so u can adventure w them creatively? I got it. I'm so excited❗
I was convinced it was some kind of click bait. All things eventually come to an end, even good ones. Looking forward to your next adventure in the coming decade.
Have to cry again, feels like a break up. 😭😭😭 was so great to watch your van life and what you achieved and how far u come. I'm looking so forward to your next chapter but also heavy hearted with this bittersweet goodbye of Ody❤️ And again.. The editing and music hit me hard 😭
You guys can go to there UA-cam channel and you can start watching there videos from the beginning. They are amazing. I started watching them just a few months ago and I'm not even half way through. But it starts in an off grid cottage and them building there van.
Bella B seriously, the first video was suggested to me two days ago and then this one I just found today and the video that I saw two days ago was that building the van. So they built the van two days later they’re selling the van
I have LOVED watching your journey of vanlife! It doesn’t seem like 2 years ago that you were living in the van while building it. I’m excited to see your next journey and wish you both the best❤️
Omg, the editing of this, the music, the segment of round 8:40-11:00, that’s some superb film making... the emotions it conveyed, you really made us feel it all along with you... sad to see Ody go, but I can’t wait to see what other adventures you 2 get up to! 😘
@@CalmoOmlac yeah, I'm a graphic designer, professional dog trainer, and studying to be a programmer at the same time I have a full time job. Yes I'm completely pathetic.
I stumbled upon your first video when ever I was finding motivation to clean my house! I watched as you organized, and put away items of value, or rid of things that didn’t bring joy! I fell in love with your personality so sweet and silly. I continued to watch your van journey that followed. I choked up and got teary-eyed watching this! It is sad when things come to an end but memories and those experiences will be with y’all forever. I love Lou’s tattoo! Thank you for sharing this cherished journey with us, your UA-cam audience! I’m happy for both of you, and can’t wait to see what is next!
Wow!!! I cannot begin to tell you how surprising this was for me but, even more than that, how surprised I was to find myself so emotionally moved by this video! You two have inspired me so much that I actually purchased a bus to convert into a home that’s currently in my backyard. I found your channel during a hard time in my life and, through your videos, found an avenue that gave me hope again when I otherwise felt stuck and desolate. Your constant gratitude, positivity and transparency is truly invaluable to your audience and I really can’t thank you both enough for sharing these parts of your life with us. I do not have nearly the editing or filming skills that you guys have or else I’d be on a similar UA-cam journey, but I’ll be creating a “bus account” on IG to follow you guys on your future journey and hopefully be able to support more. I hope you’re both having amazing holidays and I can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store!! Thank you so much again and please know not only how inspirational you are, but how your content/personalities are so incredibly endearing (I also really relate to Dana but definitely think you’re both the shit). Much love xo
There were so many Alfie memories that I halfway expected a '- but look who's back in our life' kind of turn... Looking forward to your next adventure :)
As viewer I feel like I’ve come full circle too. Watching you guys since your shooting on film videos in Berlin and all the Van life stuff and now back to Berlin very cool! Seems like it’s been shorter than 2 years. Hope your future adventures are just as fun
I've adored your journey. I feel like in 2019 I just found your channel, binge watch almost every video. Your channel put me in a place of question with what I was doing with my life and in a weird way social media plays a roll in life you definitely in these last 2 months have impacted me so much. That I can't even thank you enough. Sounds corny, simple and redundant. But it's a lot more than that. And I cannot believe your journey with o.d is over. I love you all and cannot wait for 2020. You guys earned all the good coming your way. Xoxo hayymayyg on Instagram. I'm the one that wrote on my story about you saying I wanted to go to home depot and buy a van and live in it. Lol you guys are the best xoxo
Hannah Marie agreed! I just found them too recently and I feel like I’m not ready for this to end but I’m sooooo curious about the new adventure as well!!
Schillerate Von Don’t be rude. Hanna simply said that the content of this channel has sparked her to question certain aspects of her life and the path she’s on. So what if these guys even inspired her to do her own van conversion and travel the continent? What a wonderful adventure it would be and if CERTAINLY wouldn’t make her any less than anyone else. Shame on you for belittling her.
@@amberleitao4727 she should read a decent book for inspiration then, these youtube channels are liquidising her brain cells and you're condoning it. Shame on you philistine.
"I don't really know what to explain what I'm feeling right now.. " Love. You have love for all of them and for gratefulness that you lived with them fully. That's a blessing. I wish you more of that.
I am so in awe of how beautifully you capture your time on this planet. How do you do it? Every moment, every important memory, you seem to manage to write or get on film in some way. And every moment seems careful and thoughtful to begin with. What a rich life you will have to look back on and share with your family. It is so unique, even among the thousands of UA-camrs. You inspire me. I wish I had the calm, careful, intelligent, stable minds you two must have in order to achieve all of this. I feel really blessed to be able to see your videos. And yes, this one definitely felt like mourning, even as a stranger. ❤️🙏
If your filimg/have a camera near by 24 7 capturing content to turn into a 10-20 minute video once a week you can edit together enough shots to make someting aesthetic and interesting. Ofc it helps that all you have to do is look for interesting things.
Loved watching you two kids! We moved from our home that we built and loved for 20 years in March. Raised our kids. Worked different jobs. Made lifetime friends. Sold it to a lovely family that will cherish it and make it better. Downsized to a cabin on a lake in remote Wisconsin. Life changes. Life is good. Enjoy ❤️
I will miss Ody so so much! But, I can't wait to see what are you going to do and were are you going to go in the future! Wish you all the best! 2020 can't wait! 😊👍
Oh! SO sad! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and wishing you many blessings for the next chapter! Thanks too for ‘Living Creatively’ you two are wise beyond your years! Lots of love x
A beautiful story. There isn’t anything you two can’t do. All your good energy and juju is in the van to guide them. It is transferable. Lovely people you are.
I did not see this coming! You guys built an empire with all your hard work and creative living. Thank you for the content and sentimental feelings. You both are so absolutely talented in what you do! I hope you continue making videos for us!!!
Why you make me cry ?? 😭😭😭😭 Now I miss the dog too !! I'm heartbroken I was always looking for to watch a new video of you guys and I enjoyed your adventures and your journey into van lifing. I hope you'll continue. I will continue following you and looking forward to watching your next videos. Good bye. And see you soon.
I'm over here bawling. I've been living vicariously through Dana and Lou ever since I discovered their channel. I can't believe their Van Life days have come to a close. I can't wait to see what awaits in their very bright futures! Here's to Dana, Lou, and Ody! Ody will be terribly missed but knowing you two, I'm guessing Boat Life will be even more incredible! Wishing you and your loved ones a beautiful and blessed holiday season!!! 😊🚐⛵💖
Thank you so much for the great moments you shared with us! Van life is my next dream and I hope one day I'll have the opportunity to experience it. Your van life adventures really inspired me. It saddens me that your van life with Ody is over but so excited for your new journey! Your a wonderful couple. I wish you all the best for 2020 ❤️❤️
ohmygosh, i heart you guys so much. this was a tearjerker! you bring so much sweetness and love and laughter and joy and peace. i have so enjoyed watching the two of you. thank you for sharing your life and your journey with us. you two seem like some of the most sweet, down to earth, kind, compassionate people. your love for Ody and one another is so beautiful. thank you.
Nooo I just found you guys like a month ago and really enjoy all your vanlife videos, I'm gonna miss ody for sure :') but still good luck ur next adventure~
Ohhh, my heart just exploded all over the place for you. Thanks for taking us along. Wishing you well and continued opportunities to explore what you love in new ways, together. 🧡
You have been a great company for almost two years. I wish you all the best. If you ever decide to go back to this 'bad' life, I'll sell you my old faithful camper. A big hug from Portugal. Always welcome! Already missing you...
I was not prepared for this video. The honor I feel to of been a small window into Ody's adventures. Can't wait to see what's in store for 2020. Thank you for lovingly sharing your life.
An Ode to Ody, I’m crying 😭 I hate that I wasn’t able to get one of his stickers, I’m so sad. I’ve enjoyed watching your lives in him :( I can’t imagine how sad you are. Bye Ody :(
Wow I´m crying right now thinking of how many fun and wonderful adventures you have lived in Ody, and how you transmited those beautiful images, scenery, laughs and positivity to us. I literally have found so much JOY watching your videos, you both radiate a beautiful light and good vibes. Your positive outlook on things that I (and many other people) would find annoying or uncomfortable (like not having hot water, cooking in a tiny space, and simply living with less comforts) is impressive and admirable. Every single video brought a smile to my face and made me reconsider how I look at life. I still have a lot of work to do (I´m a pessimist and grumpy generally), but I´m sure with your future videos (and the old ones that I will for sure re-watch) I will be on the right path to happiness. I wish you all the best on your coming adventures, and I pray that you may find joy, peace and stay healthy all through them. Here you have an unconditional friend, even if we don´t know each other and even if you don´t know it, you have my back and I can rely on both of you beautiful souls to cheer me up. All my love and support!! Sara
It warms my heart to know how much Portugal meant to you. We, the portuguese, tend to be quite negative about our country and sometimes forget how lucky we are in so many ways. Best of luck on your next adventures!
I love that Portugal and Lisbon gave you so much joy! Portugal is the country that brings me peace. I hope that you continue to have wonderful adventures.
I silently cried through this whole utterly unexpected video but thank you both so much for all of the joy you sharing your adventures and thoughts and feelings and philosophies have brought me and I wish both you and your brother/brother-in-law so much joy in your new adventures and discoveries! Best wishes always, Lou and Dana!!! Much love from a stranger in California xx
Wow!!! I cried over the sweet dog and the pine cones! Then the van driving away. Oh my gosh!!! What adventures you’ve had in the Van!!!! Can’t wait for your next adventures!! Thank you!🌈
Definitely end of an era. Found your videos almost a year a go during really sad and stressful period. It was so nice to see your van adventure start, and then follow it as it unfolds. You brought some warmth and light into my long days, and in my mind I was on the journey with you guys. It's always sad to meet the end of something good. Let's hope this is a beginning of something even better.
Jimbo here, what a wonderful travel log and Life Adventure. From the perspective of this ederly fellow, 68 years and counting, memories of your van assisted experience will shine through time 2 live with you always. Good luck, Good Love, for the future.
You 2 are such wonderful storytellers. You bring wonder, adventures, art, love, awesome editing that I don't want to go cold turkey without you & the joy your stories bring to me when I watch/listen. Hope you'll be able to continue sharing your evolving lives & stories with your vlog fans. Wishing you love & joy.💗
Awwwwee so sad, but as everyone knows when one van door shuts, another one opens! My life feels a little more in enriched after watching your videos and listening to the cool music in them, and for living vicariously through you guys , so thank you!
I'm literally crying already and I've only just begun following your story... I love the people you are and the adventurous, wholesome life that you lead. Cheers to you and your next adventure!♡
I love your positive attitude about everything, even sad stuff. Thanks for helping me see life in a better light. Wishing you the best life has to offer. Thanks so so much for taking the time and making the effort to share.
Happy next chapter! We felt the same when we gave away our UK van, but having your van go to good souls that will continue the adventure in him makes it a bit easier. ❤️
I have loved watching you two in this adventurous journey! While it is sad to let go of such a precious friend,who helped you get through it all, how wonderful to allow someone else to experience something you two have built and loved! 💕 So excited to see what new opportunities life brings to you! Thank you for sharing your life, love and boldness with all of us! Definitely inspiring!! You make this world a better place!! 🌹
My Odie stickers suddenly went up in value. Like others I was stunned to see the announcement (you all didn’t prepare us for this!) and shed a few tears. Sharing your van life with us has been an incredible experience, to watch your adventurous spirits, to be enriched by the love you share for one another and the world, and to be challenged to reach for our dreams, even the dreams that take work and sweat and tears. Life is beginnings and endings and so whatever you do next, it will be amazing because you two are incredible human beings in the world! Thank you for sharing your adventures with Odie with us. Thank you for sharing you with us. And secretly I’ll be hoping that your next adventure includes room for a dog.
You two are fantastic storytellers. Despite not knowing each other personally, I’m really proud of your growth and strength! You’re brave, adventurous and great people. Wishing you two the best! xx
Omg I am crying watching this and trying not to. I feel like this adventure we live through you guys is over so it's sad. I guess nothing would be previous if it lasted forever. Bitter sweet moments here. Well thank you is all I can say for taking us all along. Hopefully we are going to be part of your next adventure keep us all posted so we can support you guys! Love you guys so much! 💞🥰😊🐶👫🚐🌈🌎🏞🏔🧭NEXT!
I have been following you both from the beginning and I must say, I just got very emotional watching this video. You guys put your heart into these videos and also into giving Ody a “facelift” and I can’t wait to follow your next chapter. Thanks for being the best! I’m from Australia too!
Wow crazy! I’ve followed you since last year and I’m excited to see what’s next. I’m sure me and the rest of your community will miss and wish Ody the best!
Your journey so far has inspired so many people and the beautiful path you will take going forward will continue to help others find ways to be creative and live life in ways they never thought! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! ❤
I knew van life would come to an end at some point but i thought this would be years later. On the other hand life needs variations and van life as inspiring and adventurous as it is it must also be really difficult to cope with at some points ... Cheers to the best that's coming 😊🍺
You guys are so SO beautiful and .....chilled, inspiring, soothing, sweet and my are you motivated! You have goals! You're really 'doing' life! Like so many of us wish we would have/should have/will do. I'll miss updates but... thank you for all your hard work and fantastic posts. How lovely would it be to see a 'Van Life' offshoot - if just a one off - showing us Odie in his new life. In the meantime, I shall miss you all. x
I love watching your journey. Honestly, I live vicariously through you guys. I’m very sick and spend most of my time in one room in the hospital. I’ve always wanted to see the world. I spend A LOT of time studying the world past and present. Through your videos I have seen and explored parts of the world that are beautiful and amazing. Although I will miss Oddy I can’t wait to see what 2020 has to bring! Good luck on your newest journey!
Dont sad because its gone, be grateful because its was there.
also be grateful to sell it while it still runs. So grateful it started. on to the next!
don’t try to be edgy if you can’t even spell.
I think I just cried over a van that wasn't even mine 😂😭
Totally want to follow Odie in his new life
same tho
Snap 🤧
I definitely cried over a van that wasn't mine. The part with Alfie and the pine cone topped it off
Yeah me too
I was not prepared for this! Best wishes for your next adventure!
Cried like a baby. But in a good way.
Me neither, gutted 😢
We heard her say a full time mechanic is in his new family. Yiipeeee Odie gets repairs so he can continue his life of adventure ✨💫⭐️✨⭐️💫⭐️💫⭐️💫✨⭐️❤️
And they.... R going to continue their channel on a sailboat ⛵ ✨⭐️✨✨⭐️💫💫💫✨⭐️⭐️❤️
Did u buy their book so u can adventure w them creatively? I got it. I'm so excited❗
I would be the same if I gave up my camper, but at least he's gone to a good home.
Me neither
Where there’s an end, there’s a beginning. And with every beginning it’s filled with new adventures.
well said! bit sad though... but here's to new adventures!
VanTastic Traveling I know! It is sad, but I’m also excited to see the new things coming for them.
Carina Dimyan “the beginning is the end, and the end is just the beginning”
U SOLD ODY? I am not ok! But I'm also so in love with your guys' work and I know whatever you bring us will be pure joy and beauty. Love you guys!
I was convinced it was some kind of click bait.
All things eventually come to an end, even good ones.
Looking forward to your next adventure in the coming decade.
Have to cry again, feels like a break up. 😭😭😭 was so great to watch your van life and what you achieved and how far u come. I'm looking so forward to your next chapter but also heavy hearted with this bittersweet goodbye of Ody❤️
And again.. The editing and music hit me hard 😭
I just found these guys yesterday... now I feel like everything is happening too soon 😭
Saaaaame!
Sameeeee! Whyyyy
I just found it tonight. Guess I'll give van life a miss. Bye OD
You guys can go to there UA-cam channel and you can start watching there videos from the beginning. They are amazing. I started watching them just a few months ago and I'm not even half way through. But it starts in an off grid cottage and them building there van.
Bella B seriously, the first video was suggested to me two days ago and then this one I just found today and the video that I saw two days ago was that building the van. So they built the van two days later they’re selling the van
I have LOVED watching your journey of vanlife! It doesn’t seem like 2 years ago that you were living in the van while building it. I’m excited to see your next journey and wish you both the best❤️
It wasn't. Feb 2018 to Dec 2019 is not two years. And that was the start of the build, not the begin of the van life.
Diane Davidson I could have sworn it was 2 years! My mistake.
Omg, the editing of this, the music, the segment of round 8:40-11:00, that’s some superb film making... the emotions it conveyed, you really made us feel it all along with you... sad to see Ody go, but I can’t wait to see what other adventures you 2 get up to! 😘
Is was going to eat lunch... now I'm crying and I'm not hungry anymore
SAME. Crying a little on my lunch break 😂😂😂
You're pathetic lol
@@CalmoOmlac yeah, I'm a graphic designer, professional dog trainer, and studying to be a programmer at the same time I have a full time job. Yes I'm completely pathetic.
@@CalmoOmlac and you, well, insulting an stranger on internet without knowing anything about my life 🤷♀️
@@CalmoOmlac the advice is to "have my own life", well... done!
You?

That's when I found them too. It seems too soon to be over! 😥
Me too! Everything you said. Waaaaaaahhhhhhh 😭
Same! They're very inspiring, I have felt like a part of their journey every step of the way! Feels very sad but other good things to come
Daughter: Dad, wild we roam video, they sold the van. // Me: Total clickbait // No, they actually sold it. // Wait, what???
I was not prepared to be teary eyed over this! 😭
My Ody stickers feel even more precious now. So happy to have gone along with this journey. Now go get Alfie and start the next adventure!
Wow!!! I cannot begin to tell you how surprising this was for me but, even more than that, how surprised I was to find myself so emotionally moved by this video!

Oh my goodness, selling is so hard. I remember getting teary eyed. (And Lou, your German is so good!)
I was scrolling and reading everyone is crying and JUP when you waved him goodbye I was like NOOOO STOP THEMMMMMM *TEARS*
There were so many Alfie memories that I halfway expected a '- but look who's back in our life' kind of turn...
Looking forward to your next adventure :)
*WILD WE BOAT* 🚣🏻
I’m expecting to see you guys living your best yacht life here pretty soon:)

A beautiful story. There isn’t anything you two can’t do. All your good energy and juju is in the van to guide them. It is transferable. Lovely people you are.
I’m crying not even over the van but over the dog smh
OhTheophylus what happened to the dog? Did they leave him?
Yeah me too.
they should get him
They left the dog ?😭😭😭

wait, what :o this came out of nowhere... I knew vanlife will be over someday, but I didn't realize it will be that soon :(
mimze I’m not ready :(
You guys are the best. Keep on smiling and remember Odie fondly...he was awesome
An Ode to Ody, I’m crying 😭 I hate that I wasn’t able to get one of his stickers, I’m so sad. I’ve enjoyed watching your lives in him :( I can’t imagine how sad you are. Bye Ody :(
Shawna Litteral I’m sad I didn’t get a sticker too!!!!! So excited to see where they’re gonna go next but dang I’d still buy a sticker lol
Brenna McMullen I know! They’re so cute! I had a lot of stuff going on and didn’t get to in time. But yes, I can’t wait to see their next adventure!
Wow I´m crying right now thinking of how many fun and wonderful adventures you have lived in Ody, and how you transmited those beautiful images, scenery, laughs and positivity to us. I literally have found so much JOY watching your videos, you both radiate a beautiful light and good vibes. Your positive outlook on things that I (and many other people) would find annoying or uncomfortable (like not having hot water, cooking in a tiny space, and simply living with less comforts) is impressive and admirable. Every single video brought a smile to my face and made me reconsider how I look at life. I still have a lot of work to do (I´m a pessimist and grumpy generally), but I´m sure with your future videos (and the old ones that I will for sure re-watch) I will be on the right path to happiness.
I wish you all the best on your coming adventures, and I pray that you may find joy, peace and stay healthy all through them. Here you have an unconditional friend, even if we don´t know each other and even if you don´t know it, you have my back and I can rely on both of you beautiful souls to cheer me up.
All my love and support!! Sara
sad to watch. i love van life, i've never done it, but i can imagine how sad it is to do it. (sell your van, not van life)
RIP Ody
It warms my heart to know how much Portugal meant to you. We, the portuguese, tend to be quite negative about our country and sometimes forget how lucky we are in so many ways. Best of luck on your next adventures!
I love that Portugal and Lisbon gave you so much joy! Portugal is the country that brings me peace. I hope that you continue to have wonderful adventures.
So sad about Alfie. He'll miss you. Do his owners live on the property too? I want to know more about him.
Me too :(
Me also
Me too
Seriously
ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE, I just want to know where the dog is :(
I'm not crying YOU'RE CRYIING!! Thanks for bringing us on this adventure with you.
I’m going to be crying all day over this. -Lorain Ohio USA
Thank you everything! Good luck with your next projects
Sitting at my desk at work, avoiding my job and crying like a baby. Ugh.
Same! Please don't let any of my coworkers see me cry!
This is your boss. GET BACK TO WORK. ;)
Pathetic.
DansBLACKFLAG waste your time else where. 🎉😘
I silently cried through this whole utterly unexpected video but thank you both so much for all of the joy you sharing your adventures and thoughts and feelings and philosophies have brought me and I wish both you and your brother/brother-in-law so much joy in your new adventures and discoveries! Best wishes always, Lou and Dana!!! Much love from a stranger in California xx
I love how grateful and pure see them feels like
Wow!!! I cried over the sweet dog and the pine cones! Then the van driving away. Oh my gosh!!! What adventures you’ve had in the Van!!!! Can’t wait for your next adventures!! Thank you!🌈
I’m in shock. Lol
Good for you for knowing when to move on.
Will this channel continue?
Definitely end of an era. Found your videos almost a year a go during really sad and stressful period. It was so nice to see your van adventure start, and then follow it as it unfolds. You brought some warmth and light into my long days, and in my mind I was on the journey with you guys. It's always sad to meet the end of something good. Let's hope this is a beginning of something even better.
Wow! This is so sad and exciting I’m torn! Another amazing vid from you guys....love the new Tat👊🏼
Jimbo here, what a wonderful travel log and Life Adventure. From the perspective of this ederly fellow, 68 years and counting, memories of your van assisted experience will shine through time 2 live with you always. Good luck, Good Love, for the future.
The saddest part is leaving Alphie...

Remember Alfie and the donkeys were Kate's before they spent time with Lou and Dana
You 2 are such wonderful storytellers. You bring wonder, adventures, art, love, awesome editing that I don't want to go cold turkey without you & the joy your stories bring to me when I watch/listen. Hope you'll be able to continue sharing your evolving lives & stories with your vlog fans. Wishing you love & joy.💗
Wow! It‘s impressive how good Lou‘s german is... I didn‘t know that!
German
ekimpp upps you‘re right
Awwwwee so sad, but as everyone knows when one van door shuts, another one opens! My life feels a little more in enriched after watching your videos and listening to the cool music in them, and for living vicariously through you guys , so thank you!
Hope u go back and visit Alfie. He loved u guys soo much!!!!
I feel bad for Alfie. To him they probably went out for material one last time and never came back :(
I'm literally crying already and I've only just begun following your story... I love the people you are and the adventurous, wholesome life that you lead. Cheers to you and your next adventure!♡
Emotional, that van definitely has a character.
I love your positive attitude about everything, even sad stuff. Thanks for helping me see life in a better light. Wishing you the best life has to offer. Thanks so so much for taking the time and making the effort to share.
A-Z and Z-A. Everything has a start and an ending but the end is also the beginning of a new ending and the cycle continues!
Happy next chapter! We felt the same when we gave away our UK van, but having your van go to good souls that will continue the adventure in him makes it a bit easier. ❤️
you guys are amazing
I have loved watching you two in this adventurous journey! While it is sad to let go of such a precious friend,who helped you get through it all, how wonderful to allow someone else to experience something you two have built and loved! 💕 So excited to see what new opportunities life brings to you! Thank you for sharing your life, love and boldness with all of us! Definitely inspiring!! You make this world a better place!! 🌹
On the bright side: That brick is like EUR 0, so it's good thing it's not on the road too much.
My Odie stickers suddenly went up in value. Like others I was stunned to see the announcement (you all didn’t prepare us for this!) and shed a few tears. Sharing your van life with us has been an incredible experience, to watch your adventurous spirits, to be enriched by the love you share for one another and the world, and to be challenged to reach for our dreams, even the dreams that take work and sweat and tears. Life is beginnings and endings and so whatever you do next, it will be amazing because you two are incredible human beings in the world! Thank you for sharing your adventures with Odie with us. Thank you for sharing you with us. And secretly I’ll be hoping that your next adventure includes room for a dog.
God I love you guys but I really can’t watch this 😭😭😭 💔
You two are fantastic storytellers. Despite not knowing each other personally, I’m really proud of your growth and strength! You’re brave, adventurous and great people. Wishing you two the best! xx
Are you going back for alfie??!?!
The way you incorporate the music into your storytelling is the best i've ever seen on UA-cam, perhaps even a large majority of movies.
Is there a help line I can call? I need to cope with this, but just don't know how!
Omg I am crying watching this and trying not to. I feel like this adventure we live through you guys is over so it's sad. I guess nothing would be previous if it lasted forever. Bitter sweet moments here. Well thank you is all I can say for taking us all along. Hopefully we are going to be part of your next adventure keep us all posted so we can support you guys! Love you guys so much! 💞🥰😊🐶👫🚐🌈🌎🏞🏔🧭NEXT!
Me: I wonder how Dana and Lou are getting on with Ody.
Dana and Lou: WE SOLD OUR VAN.
Beautiful. Beautiful film. Beautiful shots. Beautiful couple. Beautiful hearts. Just inspiring. Thank you ♥️
"Sailing....takes me away to where I always heard it could be..." Best wishes to wherever your next adventure awaits! :-)
I have been following you both from the beginning and I must say, I just got very emotional watching this video. You guys put your heart into these videos and also into giving Ody a “facelift” and I can’t wait to follow your next chapter. Thanks for being the best! I’m from Australia too!
NEVER EVER clicked on a video so fast... (haven’t even seen it yet 😳)
Wow crazy! I’ve followed you since last year and I’m excited to see what’s next. I’m sure me and the rest of your community will miss and wish Ody the best!
I wasn´t ready to leave oddy ;(
Your journey so far has inspired so many people and the beautiful path you will take going forward will continue to help others find ways to be creative and live life in ways they never thought!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
❤
whaaaaaaat? i thought that was clickbait!
I knew van life would come to an end at some point but i thought this would be years later. On the other hand life needs variations and van life as inspiring and adventurous as it is it must also be really difficult to cope with at some points ... Cheers to the best that's coming 😊🍺
You guys are so SO beautiful and .....chilled, inspiring, soothing, sweet and my are you motivated! You have goals! You're really 'doing' life! Like so many of us wish we would have/should have/will do. I'll miss updates but... thank you for all your hard work and fantastic posts. How lovely would it be to see a 'Van Life' offshoot - if just a one off - showing us Odie in his new life. In the meantime, I shall miss you all. x
What happened to the dog.
Also want to know :(
I love watching your journey. Honestly, I live vicariously through you guys. I’m very sick and spend most of my time in one room in the hospital. I’ve always wanted to see the world. I spend A LOT of time studying the world past and present. Through your videos I have seen and explored parts of the world that are beautiful and amazing. Although I will miss Oddy I can’t wait to see what 2020 has to bring! Good luck on your newest journey!
This is turning into a trend lately. This whole scene didn't last long.
