At this moment, I am living vicariously through you. Your routine is that of a camper that is not “roughing it ,“ but living fully in each moment. The music that accompanied your morning ritual was some really cool and inspiring get my day started stuff. Do you mind sharing the name of the song? One last thing before I go, I would like to start out minimally when the time comes; I hope that you wouldn’t mind listing some of the things that you would leave behind the next time because they just weren’t necessary. As always, stay safe.
Absolutely, I have an episode coming up called “Travel Light” and it will show the basic things I am keeping to live comfortably in my van. It’s called Hold Her Hand by David Celeste ( Epidemic Sounds) . Or Forest of Lost Souls by Mandala Dreams also from Epidemic Sounds Thanks for your support! 🥰🙏
Gondola was amazing! Like being taken into a bit of Heaven and Looking down on the earth! Simply amazing Mai! Thank You for sharing your journey sweet lady! Travel safe! Can’t wait to see where we go next! 💗💗💗
You are an inspiration, how do you deal with the smell of food? I think i will open my doors and windows to let the air flow, not sure if that will be enough but i will find out soon! 🥰🙏
Hello Mai, what a beautiful peaceful scenery. once you reach the top of the mountain it was breath taking. Thank You for taking me on your wonderful journey. Have a great day😊
Thank you Sylvia! Please stay tuned for the next video as we explore the top of the Sulphur Mountain! It is indeed breathtaking! I could stay there forever! 🥰🙏
cooking in the van must take real talent! lol. thank you for proving it can be done. we all have too much stuff…even in our smallest spaces. continued peace on your journey. happy and safe travels.
Looking forward as always to your post, on your day journey.. it's like being there too. Canada is such an amazing place with all those beautiful and captivating sceneries. Nature is one great reminder how wonderful our Lord is, for creating all of these for us. Thank you Ms. Mai.
✨🏔✨Hi Mai. What a beautiful ride up the mountain. I’m so glad you’re able to post more often. I really look forward to your videos because they are sooo relaxing. Thanks for sharing such quality content. Hugs & much love.✨🏔✨
Mai, Thank you for another beautiful video. even though you cooked your breakfast I still missed more of your yummy food you eat lol. I could never go up in a basket in the sky !!! so it was nice to see the view from up top. Is it not funny how we think we need all the stuff then realize I need to get rid of the STUFF I dont need. So I am eager to see what you got rid of and why. Thank you and be safe and God Bless......Pat
When are you going to make some pancit in the van? Would love to see that. Great video look forward to your time on the top of the mountain. Ive never been on the banff gondola so looking forward to it. Have fun.
Thank you again Mai, my Sister! The sight of those mountains & pines squeezes my heart till I can hardly breathe! Stay safe, keep growing, keep praying, keep traveling, keep enjoying!! 🥰🧡🤗
You’ve done it again Mai. Wish I was sitting up there at the top with you sis taking in deep breath and basking in the beauty below. You continue inspire me so much so that I went ahead removed 3rd row of seats and made black out window covers for my SUV 💃🏽🤸🏾♀️🙌🏽
Thank you for video's. I agree with the previous subscriber about not roughing it. I'm trying to find my way and I dont like roughing it or going off grid. But we will see how it goes. You are inspiring💕
The quality of the videos and the music are improving more and more! From very humble beginnings on minimalist videosn and finance to something thats a passion project. Happy to see your growth! Stay safe on the roads (though your usual stomping grounds are safe naman) and keep up the good work!
Once again loved going along with you on your trip! That gondola ride is expensive but wow, amazing views! What was the automated aquatics machine you were operating?
OMG! if there'll be award for the best story and film , I will totally vote for you Mai🤣 I iwsh upon the star that one day I could see a Man beside you lol! Pretty neat van !
Good Morning Mai✨ Another day of tagging along in your 30 day journey. I like your “ going with the flow” today. No doubts, no expectations, just go with the flow and everything will work itself out. I luv your captions very meaningful and true. You are creating amazing stories with your captions and the beauty of nature really falls on Life is beautiful itself so appreciate it ✨ Thank you for sharing another day of your journey. Ingat palagi Mai ❤️ from 🇺🇸.
Love your life! Your videos are so relaxing and exactly what I look forward to accomplishing soon. Question, when using the camp stove do you need to ventilate your van?
I open the side windows for airflow, i don’t feel comfortable using anything flammable with all windows closed. I also have a carbon monoxide detector and a handy fire extinguisher just in case. 🥰🌸 safety first. 🙏
Hi Mai, thank you for taking us along with you on your journey! I enjoy watching your videos. Can you please tell me where to find your white fuzzy throw and the dimensions? I can’t find it listed in your description. TIA
Hello, no i just have an extension cord that i run through the window at the front. I don’t want to create any holes in the ban or make permanent changes so i figured an extension cord will work! 😀🥰
Loving your van trip. Not sure if I will ever make it up to Banff but feel like I've been there through you. Absolutely love the gondola and Hot Springs. Its great to see someone who can enjoy themselves alone and really be in touch with nature. I was wondering about the temperature at night, how are you staying warm in your van. Any concerns about it getting too cold?
Hi Mai... Just came across your channel this morning. What an awesome adventure you are having. What's your story by the way ? You are obviously too young to be retired. Are you doing this full time ? If so, how do you fund your yourself ? Are you working online, etc.. ? Thanks Mai. Will be checking you out from time to time. Take care of yourself out there.
Thanks Eddie, i am doing this full time only for 30days! Would love to do it full time for long term if I can. I have savings for emergencies and with very minimal bills I live simply and fund my adventures through the income I get from you watching my videos. Thank you! 🥰🙏 This is the beauty about van life, you can live with minimal expenses or you can indulge depending on the availability of your funds. If you want to know my story, kindly watch this : ua-cam.com/video/lWxrFoGDr_w/v-deo.html
@@LifewithMaiOfficial Thanks for sharing Mai. I just saw the video. I completely understand. I love that "You did it". Love the philosophy as well because it's so relatable. I am also Filipino living in the USA for over 40 years. I admire you for what you are doing. I've done my share of traveling but am never done with searching for purpose. Like you, I ponder and wonder. Wish we can compare notes someday. Thank you again Mai and always be safe out there. You are on your way to inner peace. You go girl !!!!
@@LifewithMaiOfficial I just bought a USB powered therapy light by brookstone and i think it will take a ton of power from my battery bank. I light solar lights.
Its just for a month, they are very supportive. As long as I visit them and be there when they need me, they seem to be okay with it. They are concerned about my safety though. But im okay! 🥰🙏
Am I the only one that felt compelled to go wash their face at the same time? 😆. I actually paused and went to the bathroom and put a charcoal mask on my face for the duration of the video.

An automated bathing suit dryer…that ‘s a first for me but whAt a great idea. Scenery from the gondola ride was spectacular!
Yes i wish all pools have that right? I only saw this in Fairmont Spa before and so glad this place has it too! 🥰🌸
10+ years full timer in van, have cooked inside always , less work having it all inside:)

Thank you for coming along!🥰🙏
Hello Mai,
Thanks for sharing your journey. I noticed that you had an electrical hook up at your campsite. Did you install an RV adapter to your van
Hello, no i just have an extension cord that i run through the window at the front. I don’t want to create any holes in the ban or make permanent changes so i figured an extension cord will work! 😀🥰
I can't expain why I love to watch this
I hope it relaxes you! Thanks for watching! 🥰🌸

Its great to see someone who can enjoy themselves alone and really be in touch with nature. I was wondering about the temperature at night, how are you staying warm in your van.

Hello, i camp at a services site with power so I bring an electric heater! Makes my life so much comfortable! 🥰😀
@@LifewithMaiOfficial oh that’s a great idea, are you able to run an extension cord into your van at night ?
Hoping one day will cross path 🙏
Amen sis! Thank you! 🥰🙏
I love your videos 🥰
Thank you! 🥰🙏🌸
mai lalo kang gaganda nyan ,,,
I wish! Thanks kapatid! 🙏😇
I'm enjoying your videos Mai. Does it feel stuffy when your inside your vehicle? How do you ventilate during night time? :)
Thank you! I crack the windows at the back open for air flow, i never have any problem. I love it! 🥰🙏
Aww! I miss Banff! Please feel free to use my music with your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I will check it out! 🥰🙏

@@LifewithMaiOfficial No. No. No.. Thank you for being out there. LOL.... Btw, Love the music in all your videos.
Thanks you should subscribe to Epidemic Sounds 😀
Does the ring light take up alot of power? What about the heater
No , the heater is connected to the 30amp service at the campsite. 😀
@@LifewithMaiOfficial I just bought a USB powered therapy light by brookstone and i think it will take a ton of power from my battery bank. I light solar lights.
Yeah i like solar lights and will be getting some soon! 🥰
We’re did you get that small table from the one u we’re setting down and cooking from
Here is the link my friend :amzn.to/3zIgXVa
No the one u use in ur van?
It’s white with different colors
Oh that one was from Dollarama i cant find the link I found a similar one in Amazon and winners
@@LifewithMaiOfficial Thank you.😀
Sana pwede rin yung katulad kay mav na request ng luto. Masaya yun 😁
Sino si Mav? Haha ano request mo? 😀
@@LifewithMaiOfficial si mav sikat na UA-camr din vanlife. Request ko tortang talong na may giniling saka alimasag. Sana di ka allergic jan 😂
Ayoko ng alimasag! Simple lang ako tortang talong at toyo lang, buhay na ako. May giniling ka pa, sosyal! 😀✌️
@@LifewithMaiOfficial hahaha fave ko yan e. Pero ok lang kaw na bahala 🙂
Loved your video, Mai… which wipes are you using?
I am using the wipes from Costco. Kirkland, inalso have the disinfecting wipes for surfaces that i got from winners its lemon scent.
@@LifewithMaiOfficial , thank you… sending you many positive vibes and many blessings🙏🏻❤️🌞🌸
Blessings back at you dear! 🥰
What do you wash your dishes with? Water and vinegar?
Its just wipes ( cleansing wipes) i tried it the first time and in still getting used to it. Not sure if I can sustain this hahaha
Do you dust daily? I suppose a lot of dust starts coming in just by driving?
I try to, yes. That is true and i am realizing a keep up routine is critical when living in a smaller space like this. I like it though. 🥰
How do your children feel about you living in a van?
Its just for a month, they are very supportive. As long as I visit them and be there when they need me, they seem to be okay with it. They are concerned about my safety though. But im okay! 🥰🙏
@@LifewithMaiOfficial What abt yr husband? Don't he feel left out?
He is ok without me haha he has his girl! 🥰😀
@@LifewithMaiOfficial Oh he has someone new alredy.
Do you plan on living full in your van?
Hopefully, yes! 🥰🙏
Am I the only one that felt compelled to go wash their face at the same time? 😆. I actually paused and went to the bathroom and put a charcoal mask on my face for the duration of the video.
Haha i take that as a good thing then! 🥰😀 Thanks Janis! 😇😇😇
Am amused you need 3 types of night cream for yr face 😄
Thats the regimen from Beautederm exfoliate, moisturize and revitalize. 😀.
