Please don't apologize for living your life. I love seeing these quaint little towns. You are so blessed to be able to relax and enjoy each day as it comes!!!
Your hair doesn’t look crazy at all! It looks really nice styled as an up-do!
Haha Well, thank you!
Agreed. Adorbs
I was thinking exactly the same thing!
Thank you for showing us this wonderful town & beach! You never need to apologize for not doing something for your "audience". There is no contract. We should realize that we are privileged to follow your life with you and not complain about our demands/expectations for you. Live your life, stay where it's cool in Summer (I would not be heading inland, if it was 90-100!), warm in Winter, and chronicle it for yourself. We are along for the ride and should expect no more. Thank you!
What she said!!! 💚
Hi Chantelle, as a vanlifer myself, the content of your vids where you give a review of places is VERY valuable. We vanlifers are doing our own adventures, so no stress to express ‘more’ adventures for us:)) ❤
I haven't started posting any of my vlogs on ytb yet but as a fellow vanlife/carcamper I would love to follow your socials if you want to share! And my god, yes, I am having enough (mis)adventures of my own so as much as I appreciate seeing other places to visit in the future I also love the 'this is how I wash my dishes now' or 'things I've changed about my set up over the years' type of content!
I enjoy watching you just living life, everyday can't be a big adventure. Traveling with you gets this old lady out of her apartment and seeing new scenery!
isnt she amazing that way? Her love for life and adventure, unpretentious and confident with herself. I adore her videos too they are very inspiring to us all. cheers
This is your life. If we want adventures we can get off our butts and go do something! I just appreciate your allowing me to tag along with you. And, truthfully, it’s so relaxing when you and Joey just walk around enjoying the beaches and ocean views. Any day with a dose of Jo-Jo is a good day! PS-you look cute with your up-do!❤️TN Nana
Thanks, Nana! You're so sweet!
As much as I enjoy all of your videos, I especially love the ones like today’s. THIS is what I loved most about my own travels; the normal, errand-running, and just enjoying the beauty and variety of diverse locations. Thank you for your videos.. they are sustaining me until I get back on the road. ❤
I believe it's authentic to follow your own path and not worry what viewers think. I don't understand why adventures are so important. I enjoy slow pace and simple living myself.
I like your hair like that! The video brought a lot of memories, spent a lot of time in Newport. Do what you want for content, I don't have any expectations, I just like you as a person, and like to see that you are okay, and living your best life.
Love that you & Joey are living your best lives. That’s what it’s all about! And I for one truly appreciate you sharing your journey with us. I’m still living vicariously thru you so now matter what you choose to show us, it has value to many of us.
I love to see your slower videos. They show the reality of van life.
NEVER, EVER apologize for living your life, your way! 💚
I was thinking you looked cute with your hair up
Loving your Oregon beach town adventures. You do you and enjoy the journey. Love and light.
I love the chill pace of your videos that matches your energy. I wouldn’t change a thing you’re doing! And having the cutest fur companion ever certainly doesn’t hurt 🐩 💜
I really enjoyed your video. It was peaceful and so comfy. The scenes, especially the ocean with the sunrise or sunset was gorgeous. Just be you and do what you do. I loved watching real life. Hugs. Give Joey a hug for me too please.
A lot of us watch your channel because we enjoy seeing you & Joey enjoy your life! People sitting on their couch complaining about your "lack of adventures" crack me up XD
Three things: 1. Love your hair up! B. Do you use the toilet much and how often do you clean it out? III. Not enough Joey! 😂
Never apologize, for people like me ( disabled and don't drive) every video is a joy. The mellow stuff if great, it's peaceful. You do your life and thanks for sharing.
I don’t blame you for staying on the coast and relaxing during this heat wave. It’s your journey, we are just watching. Don’t feel guilty for what your choices are for you and more importantly Joey. Most vanlifers I have followed over the past few years have either bought a tiny home or base camp and doing less travel. Your crazy hair is really cute on you!!
You're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing. Live your life. We just luv your vlogs.
We will watching you (and Joey), so keep posting your videos. I appreciate knowing that there are places like the community center when you are on the road to take a shower. The area is beautiful, the views of the ocean are greatly appreciated!
I feel badly that pressure has been applied to you. Life, whether in sticks & bricks or on the road, has seasons that are slower and seasons that are more packed with activity. My husband and I enjoy all your videos. ❤ You and Joey are a weekly treat- no matter what you’re up to.
I don’t watch you for adventure I watch you for you and Joey! I love your beach videos!
Just watching you is an adventure. It’s your life, honey; you decide what “we” watch! Enjoy your channel!
Good morning from Ohio!! Your videos are never boring. !! I enjoy them all. 😊❤️
Please don't worry about what people think. We love your channel. They can make their own . That's what we encourage. Love Oregon. 😊😊
Good morning from Maryland. Just wanted to let you know that I love your channel. Hanging at the beach or doing an adventure. I'm here for all of it. Keep doing you and it will all be forever good. ✌️ and ❤ to you and Joey
Seriously don’t worry about others. I’ve been doing this for three years and I have three little dogs. Take your rest while you can. I’ve been driving away from horrible heat, it’s not fun dealing with the heat. ❤
Live your life for yourself. Lol, we're just lurkers coming along for the ride! Your videos are reality, and are enjoyable no matter where you are. Ignore the haters, and those with nothing better to do than criticize your content. I'm a beach bum at heart so personally, I love watching your west coast travels! 😊
There are many places to park, but they are not campsites. You need to keep things inside, except for your picnic. I love your hair like that!
I don't think you need to apologize for anything! Live your life to make yourself happy, and if someone doesn't like it, they can move on... I personally love your videos no matter what you're doing! And Joey is the cutie 🐾✌️💕
Please don’t apologize. I come here because you share your life. I don’t want to see anything but what is true for your life. I loved all the coast posts!
You were apologising for not going on grand adventures, but here I was thinking how much I enjoy your chilled out videos and just seeing the different places you visit! You have absolutely nothing to apologise for.
You are awesome. Don't apologize for living your life the way you want to. We enjoy it. Thank you for taking us along!
Hi Chantelle. Honey you are never boring and I love your videos. You could just sit and talk and paint your nails and I love to watch because your videos are so relaxing. I love your hair up too. You are so cute! Plus your choice of music is so good, I played your video over just to listen while I color. You just do what you want to honey, I will always watch and enjoy. Love you, Debbie
No apologies necessary. Your beach life is my favorite. You showed us so much today. I love what you’re doing. The music is amazing.
I got to say the sunsets on the west coast are just as beautiful as the sunrises here on the east coast.
Don’t apologize for taking us along on your everyday travels. You are showing me the places I wish I could go
No need to apologize! Your channel is a refreshing delight and it is a real treat each week to catch up with you and Joey. You summed it up perfectly when you said you were living life to the fullest. It doesn't get much better than that. Take care and keep on enjoyin' yourself! 💓
Hey, go where you want. You don't need to please anyone but yourself. I like vlogs where you share more of your life and personality. Everyday stuff is what keeps it real.
Your videos have ALL been helpful and informative in one way or another! I am a single female traveler and I have learned so much from your videos and have stayed in places that I would never have tried if it weren't for you. If you felt safe, I knew that I probably would. I never get tired of watching and learning. No apologies necessary!! And keep them coming!❤❤❤
I enjoy your journey. It's not about your special trips. I enjoy seeing you and Joey doing everyday stuff. I enjoy your music, videography, and the towns you visit. I missed you this Sunday. Be safe from fires, heat, and rain. Glad you left California and missed our Tropical rain Hurricane Hilary. ❤😊😻
Don’t be sorry we really appreciate you showing us exactly where everything is. You are still the only one that again I will continue to thank you for that. Bless you.
Don't be sorry for anything, love just watching you hang out and do your day to day stuff. Life is an adventure some times but not for the most part. You deserve a slower pace!❤
I always enjoy your videos, never boring. And I really loved the coastal videos and the small towns. ❤
I enjoy watching YOU, wherever you might be. ( and Joey of course). It is not big adventures that attract me to your channel, it is your life and your amazing editing of beautiful places. Also, you give good day to day travel tips. There are many channels that give “adventures “, what you do is make us feel we are hanging out with a friend and her amazing basic journey. Thank you for sharing your life.
Love how you live YOUR life. I'm just grateful you share it. No need to apologize. I love the views, the serenity, coffee montages, food views. Just do what you do!. Thanks again for sharing!!!
It’s your van life, do exactly what you want. I have been here since day 1, I will still watch you. I go back to your older videos, when I was building out my van! Keep doing what you’re doing!! Safe travels
Spending time with you and Joey is a treat no matter what you are doing. A grand adventure isn't needed. Be safe and stay as cool as possible going inland
Hey, there, fellow van lifer here. Don't apologize for your content. Whatever it has been I've benefited from it in so many different ways. Like where to sleep or just where to go. So cheers and happy travels. Maybe our paths will cross in the desert sometime.
No apologies needed. We love seeing you happy. Enjoy❤
That "cloudy misty" is the marine layer. It is just ocean giving you a good morning kiss.
No way I'd apologize for trying to stay cool and live on a budget. I enjoy your channel because you're living more realistically than many YTers that have a lot of $$$ & are basically on vacation every day.
I have to say, Oregon is my favorite state. Love the small coastal towns and the beaches are so beautiful. Again, thanks for all the reviews of places to eat or get coffee, and all the information you share.
Don’t apologize! I love your videos … and I think being able to be on the coast, able to visit different towns is an adventure! You do what you need to do for you and what makes you happy and comfortable. If you do what makes others happy and your whole heart isn’t in it, then that leads to burn out. Take care of you ❤
It’s understandable that you would burnout. I only recently found your channel, so I can binge watch your videos. Self care is the priority right? Everyone will be just fine until the new season of you comes out 😊
I hope you are truly as happy as you seem in video!! I think you have an amazing life!! So jealous!! I never realized places like I see on you tube existed!! Husband refuses to ever travel. I never knew how much I have missed. 😢 but it makes me happy to see them in videos. PLEASE DONT APOLOGIZE!!! NO NEED!!! GO!! LIVE!!! BE HAPPY!!!!! many only dream of that life. ENJOY EVERY MINUTE YOU CAN!!!!! one day you won't be able to anymore. You will always have wonderful memories and videos of a beautiful life and a precious JOEY
OMG! That two-story house over the Irish Shop at Nye Beach (next door to the Bookstore) is where some friends rent the whole house about every other summer and we come over to spend time with them. Nye Beach is awesome.
Your adventures are very grand to me. I appreciate your Sunday morning videos. Stay blessed and safe!
I really enjoy your video's but today's video was very special for me. I grew up about 7 miles inland from Newport and we spent a lot of time over there. Nye Beach was always our go to spot to play on the beach or even storm watch if the thing weather was bad. It has really changed since I was a kid--- well over 50 years ago but I am happy to see it is thriving there. It was always such a friendly, and fun place to be. When you went to Yaquina State Park and I saw the bridge I remember my Dad and the trouble he caused as a teen. You see, a friend of his made a bet with some kids from Newport that my Dad could walk up one side of the bridge and over the top of the arch and down the other side. A case of beer was riding on that bet and Dad said sure I can do it! He had no fear at all of heights so they waited till dark and dropped him off on the north side and up he went. The rest of the guys hurried over to the other side to see him come down but someone saw him as he was headed up and they called the police and said there was a jumper on the bridge! You can imagine all the panic of police and fire dept. looking for someone they thought was going to jump off. Dad saw the spotlight and layed down up at the top of that arch and just stayed there for hours as they looked. No one climbed up, they were all too afraid. After hours they finally decided the person had to have already jumped before they got there so they all left and he hurried and scurried down the south side where his friend and the other boys had been waiting. They really enjoyed those well deserved beers! So you see, what you think of as mundane videos without doing anything adventurous triggered a memory I cherish of my Dad. We lost him last year at the age of 91. Thank you for what you do!
You do what you need to do. Sometimes we just need a break. Take care and have fun.
I love your channel, and I totally loved the way you put this video together. You're doing a wonderful job, and I fully celebrate you taking time for yourself and not filming as much. Four years on the road myself and I still haven't felt like I could handle the pressure and hardwork of making a channel myself. The work you do, and it is work, is so important and you do such a wonderful job, but you do deserve time to yourself, time off! So no worries, I love your channel and will happily keep enjoying whatever you choose to share. Thanks Chantelle!
Fun is living your best life! The beach is awesome especially when you can enjoy it just as a #VanLifer
I was going to comment before you said about your hair, your hair looks good up. Also everyone needs a change of pace in life and your videos aren’t boring. I always enjoy watching you
You do a good job.and don't feel bad about your content I enjoy everything and anything you do so don't stop doing what you're doing You're being your true authentic self and we wouldn't have it any other way so enjoy life The little three little mens that you do give us gives us a chance to step out of our own and live through yours just for a moment So keep doing what you're doing please stay safe stay positive and we'll see you in the next one say hi to Joey❤❤❤
I never get tired of the coast and yeah, avoid the heat. That's insane to go deliberately into it... Part of van life is following the weather.
I think it's funny that you don't think that hanging out in beach towns is not a grand adventure because to me it is :) You do what you want to do Chantelle, it's been fabulous following your coastal quest this summer. And gosh, I don't know how you could leave some of these places because they are that stunning! Big hugs to you and Joey!
Relaxing visit, beautiful sunset....cute little joey has a good life...be safe and fun....
❤ I love your videos, lifestyle, you & Joey! I learn a lot, find them relaxing & inspiring. I actually like it when you stay in one area long enough to show what it is like. Don't hurry back into the heat because it's too hot, not very safe, & lots of fires are sprouting up. Enjoy the perfect whether as long as you can ! ❤🎉😊
You could keep traveling up the coast to all the little towns and points of interest along the way and I'd be happy. It's just too hot inland for most of the summer anymore unfortunately. It didn't used to be this way. I like these easy going & scenic vlogs.
Hey Chantelle, I think you should stay at the coast for as long as possible. Inland heat is no fun! The most important thing is to take care of yourself!
I travel in a minivan when I camp. It it cramped and don't have a dog. My problem is I take so much "gear" for all my camping activities. I love that you are keeping it to the basics.
Your videos are awesome just the way they are. Anything you show is an adventure to me
Just keep doing what you want and feels right for you.
Don’t worry about everyone else. You do you. We like you!
It's an adventure just being a single female on the road. Enjoy being you and loving Joey!!
Don't apologize! I am enjoying going along on your journey however it takes you. You are authentic and I enjoy that the most❤
Just enjoy your life, live it how you want make the videos that you want all of us that love watching you will still be here!!!😊❤
Your videos of the coast are grand adventure to me. ❤
I never get tired of the water coast videos so beautiful! That and your cooking parts and of course joey🙂
Always good to see you save and enjoying yourself ❤
If I were doing what you are doing ~ I would take in every beach moment ~
So relaxing and good for the soul being anywhere near the ocean ~ ENJOY and chill cuz ya deserve it 😃🐶Lil Boy Joey too 😀
Look fwd to future vids as always ~ Enjoy and Be Safe & most important Take TIME FOR YOU 😇
wow, what a beautiful experience. That one sunset was so beautiful. I loved the music in this video. It fit . It would be hard not to just get caught up in a place like that.
You are very creative, you go to amazing places in the coast and you can find Agates, Carnelians, Quarts, Jade at the beach. Include some rockhounding in your videos, it will be amazing.
Spend as much time on the Oregon Coast as you want. I grew up in Portland and the Oregon Coast has always been my happy place. Was just there last summer for a visit. Hope you are able to avoid the smoke and heat if you have to go east. Safe travels to you and Joey!❤❤❤
Great video! Don't need grand adventures! I can feel and smell the fresh salt air. The sound of the waves and seagulls is heavenly! Thank you!
Chantal I'm so glad you're at the beach! Well glad and jealous! You are such an inspiration because you're doing exactly what I want to do I need to be a little more mobile and get out of my wheelchair but I do plan on spending some time in my minivan traveling just like you! Thank you so much for each and every one of your videos! Give Joey a Pat for me! :-)
Good morning from North Carolina glad to see you today and your hair looks adorable❤ safe travels and thank you for taking me along
I forgot I wanted to say that I liked seeing your hair up too. It really looks nice both up or down.
Hi from Michigan, I enjoy your content. You're so versatile while enjoying your stay no matter where you land. I don't watch UA-cam every day, but I make sure i catch up on your travels.
A video detailing your monthly expenses would be great
The Oregon coast is the only coast I've ever known. it is a beauty.
Me too ... we Oregonians don't go "to the beach," we go "to the coast."
As others have said, enjoy your life. We’re just along for the ride. I visited some of the places you highlighted in your videos and had a great time. Thanks for the tips!
Just keep doing you,,,and lil Joey,,and I understand the burnout,,,several people I watch are going thru this,,,as someone said earlier, every day cannot be an adventure,,,so ignore them. Enjoy what time you have left, and we will be here. Hope Joeys vet visit went ok..
Do it for you. I've learned a lot about coastal boondocking. Hope you are safe and well out of the smoke and fires in Oregon.
I love your videos on the coast. Very beautiful and peaceful.
You need slow time...time to rest and recharge.
I think your hair looks rather cute!! Looking relaxed and like a teenager😊.
Keep up the great work, XO to Joey also.
Hi Chantelle and Joey! I love all your videos! It’s your journey through life you do what makes you happy! Enjoy and be safe traveling ❤
I’ve enjoyed watching your coastal chill. Life is never a continuous 💯.
Your hair looks cute up like that. Georgie’s grill in Newport is wonderful. Have a great time!
