Always always stay grateful because All of what we love and experience in life could disappear in a second. We are SO blessed. You are so sweet to show that gratitude because so many people don't. I would love to be young again and do what you are doing. ❤️☺️ Joey is a doll💖🐾🐾
I sit and watch you and Joey you are special and I love watching
Im.a 65 year old mom.and grama and envious. Wish I could do what you do
ALOT has gone on here. Van break downs..getting towed..losing my little Sadie dog..I haven't watched you in what seems like forever. I have soooo missed your smiling face and your precious BABY JOEY. Thank you for sharing your adventures and showing there are many good times to be had. Stay safe...I have never even been anywhere that had vegan stores. I truly love your bright happy colorful clothes!!!! I always feel relaxed and happy after watching you. Geez..now I'm getting sappy..LOL. thank you for all you do
My Sunday morning routine is coffee and My Basic Journey!!! I look forward to this all week!!!! Love your content!!! thanks for sharing your Journey. You and Joey are awesome!!!
It's nice to know I'm not the only one that looks forward to seeing my basic journey and having a cup of coffee on Sunday
Me too!!
I agree with that
Me too!
Me too!
Chantelle, Your Basic Journey is a gift you share with all of us (your followers), Thank you for keeping us all looking forward to the next video & warmth .. (at 14 degrees in Ohio right now). Best to you & Joey
True!
I have the same kitty ears lol
Joey looks so handsome in his bow tie too!
I just want to thank you BACK! In a week and a half I’m taking my van on my first long out of state advanture after five short in state trips, and there is NO WAY I would be at this point right now if not for you and your channel empowering me way ahead of schedule. 💕💕💕
I see Joey loves his walks! I hope the rocky stuff doesn't hurt his paws. Tell your friends there are clear bubble backpacks for CATS to go on walks now! What a cool idea! I always love the music you use on your videos! Never to loud or annoying! You have great taste-Thank you!
I love the way Joey enjoys going right into the water! So cute. At 75 myself, I love going on all your adventures with you. Thank you.
Love joeys bow tie. He is adorable
I was rewatching some of your old videos from when you were prepping your van to move into and when you took that camp hosting job. you and joey have come such a long way chantelle and i feel so happy for you for living out your dream. keep being you and you and joey stay safe out there.
The scrunchie and Joey's bow tie are awesome. Joey is so handsome!😆
Now I’m going to have to wonder for a whole week what you are up to 😅 great to see you and Joey happy and smiling in a beautiful place with friends and good food 🤩
Looks so beautiful! I’m so glad our little clan formed this year. Looking forward to next time we can all be together🤗😎☺️
That bow tie 🎀 was a definite necessity
Girl Please! We love your calm pleasant demeanor. You are a blessing to us as we are to you. So, thank you!
I agree she is a treasure, Joey as well!!!
We loves them both!!!
I agree. Love the calmness and quiet music. The videos are great.

Pam the cat is so cool! Also I love Joey's bow tie. What cool places you've been!!
It's impressive how you have built your channel.! 😊👍
I’ve been watching your journey for a while now. Dreaming of the day it would be me and my little Buddy Boris (9 year old moodle x Pom) but now it’s bitter sweet to watch you and Joey as my sweet Boris passed away from an undiagnosed heart murmur 2 weeks ago.
Give Joey a squish hug for me xxx
Joey looks so cute in that bow tie!! I can’t wait to see what’s next for you both ❤️ Mo just said she (you) has came a long way from her Oregon days and I agree! It’s been a pleasure watching you grow and travel!! We’ve grown so much love for you and appreciate you 🤗
Thank you.😊❤
I thank-you for sharing your travels.....I'm new to this....I needed to see these areas....I'm not internet savvy..so you have helped me so much....I also once had a yorkie.....delightful to watch Joey!
Love Joey's bowtie. He is a fashion plate and so cute. The muffins look absolutely delicious. Be safe and be happy.
You are welcome! It's nice to know that such fun watching is contributing a tiny bit to your support. You are an inspiration and you are such a trooper, and so brave, and to be able to just go with flow as you have to in that lifestyle. Thank you!
It is always fun watching you. I think Joey is getting cuter. Thanks Chantelle.
Your welcome!❤️ Thank you..these videos make me feel like I’ve had a journey too..usually I’m drinking coffee with you and have my little dog nearby ...in our bed..lol🐶

Sunday morning with coffee and watching your beautiful video! You find the most gorgeous scenery! Hearts to you and Joey and friends!
Thank you so much, Amy!
😀
My parents lived out in the desert about 25 miles from Kingman on 10 acres. They had 360 view of mountains completely around their home. I would go visit there often. They passed away about 12 years ago. Glad you are exploring different areas of Arizona before it gets too hot with your friends. How fun! I clicked on the link "That RV over there below" you provided and they have nothing? No content/no videos? Enjoy and can't wait to see your next journey.
We're lucky to have you too! 💕
You are welcome. We look forward to your videos. Wish I could do what you do before my time is up. Keep um coming.
I'm tinder hearted too. I think that's a beautiful and endearing quality we both share. I have court tomorrow so naturally I'm stressed the F out. As soon as I clicked on your video I nearly teared up at the sense of calm and tranquility I felt. Thank you for that. I think that you're so beautiful and I am so grateful for you. That must be weird to hear from a stranger because it's weird to say to a stranger. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
💖💖💖😊 Thank you. This is so sweet. I really hope things go in your favor for court tomorrow!
Top of the morning to you and Joey! Spring is blooming and today is the first day of daylight saving’s time. Yep, summer is knocking on the door for sure. I so enjoy your Saturday morning videos. So thank you for all your hard work to film, edit, and post for all us subs in UA-cam land. I love AZ and to find water, a seagull, beautiful birds, and I think those were a herd of goats in the distance was amazing out in the desert. I’m so excited to learn your new announcement. Of course I’ll be attempting to guess what it is all week. LOL, it must be very good because you look happy. Joey is so handsome in his bow tie and name tag. Handsome young man that he is deserves all the goodies he can get. Until next week, enjoy!
I really love your setup. As much as I love my big rig, i would be so much happier in a smaller rig. The only issue for me would be the bathroom. I need a toilet. I'm extremely shy and have weird social anxiety. LOL. I can't go around chasing public bathrooms. 😂 😂
PS. Don't worry, you are allowed to be happy about the work you put into these videos. You have a great channel. Very different from the rest of the Vanlife craze. All other Van life channels literally copy each other. The same topics, the same kind of videos, even some in the exact same spot LOL. Keep being original. Your channel will grow. Promise
So happy to see u an joey having so much fun. TFS. ❤️🥰😁
Joey is so happy and cute when he was laying on his back it looks like he was smiling jejej. Keep up the great videos and I love the guitar music.
Great music, also!!
What a great camp and lake, and 99$ stor, and all your sights! Thank you so much for sherring. Yo are such a beautiful soul!!! Love from Israel!
Hi Chantal,
Really enjoy following your journey. Thanks for all you do. I saw a previous video where you mentioned taking CBD for pain and anxiety and I've been meaning to share something I've just recently learned at 55 about that. We follow a UA-cam channel called FlavCity with Bobby and he's all about healthy grocery shopping. I had no idea but apparently nearly all oils except olive, coconut and avocado are terribly inflammatory and cause all sorts of physical pain and issues. And they are hidden in so many foods at the grocery store! We started looking at labels and trying to avoid those most of the time and we feel better physically than we have in years! Just thought I'd pass it along. 😊 Safe travels
You and Joey are the best! And Joey with his bow tie what a handsome little guy. Great to see you hanging out with friends.
Eeeek! I'm excited for you!! I just wish I knew what I was excited for 😂. Ty for sharing your adventures & letting me live vicariously thru you & Joey!🥰🥰😍😍
Well good morning Chantel and little Joey I love blue Joeys bowtie that is so nice I just had a cup of coffee watching your video this morning as usual wonderful wonderful video I am so proud of you you have done a great job and I look up to you and I also learn a lot from you I hope to meet up with you someday I’m trying to learn how to talk to you more I miss UA-cam but I am learning that look like a wonderful lake to camp bye I’m getting my camping tents and stuff ready for summer right now I am in Colorado I’d really like to meet up with you and Joey and some other friends sometime this summer thank you so much for your videos always make me feel good thank you you enjoy our wonderful have a wonderful day
Hi Chantelle and Joey, I always love your videos and look forward to them every week. I have recently moved from Arizona to Ireland, and am feeling a little ungrounded, but I look on here and there you guys are and my heart sings a wee bit. Thank you, Thank you, thank you.
🌸 I look forward to seeing Joey and you every Sunday to see what adventures you've found! I love the tie-dye! I look forward to seeing what's next!!! 💙💙💙
😎 Cool video with cool Friends. Joey loves the water so much he's going to start growing fins, lol. Like the cliff hanger you left us with. The reveal is next week. Ok. I'll be tuning in to see. Take care Chantelle. As always, I really enjoy watching your channel.
I watch because your videos are good. Editing/views, voice over and don't spend too much time ranting, the driving reels, joey ...very entertaing
Just came back from a quick road trip to visit a friend in Lake Havasu. I actually fell in love with the Arizona desert landscape and the Ca side of the Mojave desert. Was simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing your adventures! 💐💛✌

Love Joey’s bow tie. Can’t wait to hear about your news.
So cool that you and sara got to meet and hang out so long. I love watching you guys exploring. HI Sara😉😉
That scrunchie and matching bow tie are indeed a necessity! Haha just saying..🤷♀️
You're killing me! I can't wait to see what's ahead for you! I"m so happy for you and Joey!!

Hiiiiiiii Joey 😃🦴🤗Oh Yeah😆Hiiiiiiii Chantelle💗lol it’s really great to see you darling. Soooooo beautiful out. Thank You for another great day
You have such a life on the road, one day I'll join you out there, wish I was there now. I'm not a vegan nor vegetarian, but that looks so good. 😋
Can’t wait to see what’s happening!!
🌹
What a great place to camp! Seeing the goats up on the ridge was awesome! See you down the road.
What a nice place to visit one day. Really liked it. Joey loves the water. Check out the south East like Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee. Explore love to see videos about these states. Joey 🥰
Love the mug! Love Joey’s bow tie!
So excited to hear your news!
I think those shells are from freshwater clams. They also live in the Colorado river. Love yours and Joey's adventures!
Chantelle tu canal me gusta mucho ❤️❤️❤️ y Joey es tan adorable !!!! ❤️❤️❤️🐕🐕
You give us more than we could ever give you♥️
So looking forward to hearing your news! Godspeed, Dovie.
Joey does seem to love the water! At least knee deep!
You're welcome Chantelle, it is my pleasure to watch your videos. I haven't missed one since I found your channel.
It was so cute watching Joey and Pam roaming around the area. Joey just loves that water! I really enjoyed the pretty scenery in this video (like most of the other videos). I never really knew much about Arizona. I guess I thought of it as a bunch of dust. You opened my eyes to some beautiful places. I would really love to do van life but I don't think it will end up coming true for me so I enjoy watching everyone else do it. Stay well and safe travels.
You're beautiful, sweet, kind and have very enjoyable content 😘 💕
This was so lovely to watch with my morning coffee ☕ 😍 freezing here in Austin Texas... ❤🐾❤🐾❤
The clams shells are prob from river otters digging them up amd eating em 🦦
LOVE 💕 U !!??? Huge hugs 🤗
You didn’t say how you liked the vegan sausage, I eat them all the time wait till you grill them 😋😋😋 I’m so happy to see you traveling with friends
It was delicious!!!

This is my favorite channel I love your vibes and you're so inspiring thank you for being here for us different ones!!
welcome to our little town.
I've watched you for months, leading up to my fiance and I getting our camper van. So inspiring. We have been in our van full time for a week and found our first free campsite in the Appalachian mountains in NC. planning to stay for a couple months before our next boondocking adventure in another state. Ughhh I could cry, I was sitting in my van watching the sunset wondering what you were up to hehe. it feels as good as you've made it look. Thank you sister❤️✨❤️
Just wanted to add next winter we will be in Arizona checking out all of these places and maybe we will cross paths, peace and blessings.
Thank you for sharing yours and Joeys adventures
