Living with parents is a good way to save money. Having a child around family and having the support of family, parents in particular is golden. You are fortunate to have the support of family.
We’re SO lucky. 🥰 let’s just see how it goes when the baby is actually here. 👀🤷🏻♂️
Haha..."we want the child to become a part of our lives, rather than us changing our lives to do kids things."
Oh man...I'm sure it wasn't meant the way it sounded, but I laughed a little :P.
When you have kids, your whole life revolves around them...where is laundry, where is the potty, where is the closest playground, who are their friends and do you like their parents (I'm learning right now you don't get to pick their friends).
I'm totally on board with the idea that you are guiding their life, I moved to a whole new country on a new continent to give my little one the best life I can for them...and it was a tough choice, moving away from family and friends, but it was a journey we're taking together, because it's a journey that's meaningful to all of us. I can see that you want to share your travels with your little one because you (rightly) feel that it will be meaningful to share that with them.
But just the phrasing made me snort...
i did not laugh, actually. What does it mean? That their kids have no time for a childhood? That they have to share this kind of a grown up life from the beginning? Sounds sad to me.
@@susannegerber7360 Why is travelling and having adventures a bad childhood?
I love how Levi looks at you, you can see how much he adores you.
Regarding the having a child: corporations and economic systems have waaay more enviarme enviormental impact than people not having kids
As a woman who plans to have a child in the next couple of years, I'm really looking forward to seeing how you guys do it as green (but pragmatically) as possible cos it plays on my mind too
Ok! The whole segment of having your new baby just be a part of your life and not revolving your life around them is exactly what I am talking about! Great minds think alike ❤
Fingers crossed! Just trying to manifest that shit 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Oh hey, I have one parenting tip to share: Please keep a journal for your child. Cute things they say or do, life events that happen and how you and/or they react, emotionally, to them, etc...You think you'll remember stuff, and you think you'll catch it all on video or photos, but you won't and you won't. My girl is 22, and I still occasionally add journal entries, and soon I will turn it over to her to read whenever she is ready. Meanwhile, I can't tell you how many times I have looked back on entries from when she was little and find some adorable or profound thing she said, which I can guarantee I would not have remembered if not documented. And along the way, I also added different article, song lyric, horoscope, etc...clippings to the folder in the journal, and some bits of my own life guidance, as well. I always give this tip to new parents and they always seem grateful as no one has told them this before. This, and the fact that "This, too, shall pass", whether it's a "good" or a "bad" phase. Obvious, but as parents, we still need the reminder, sometimes. xox
Love this idea! Thank you!
17:14 I was gob-smacked by this question. You handled it very well. There's nothing wrong with having 2 children, these replace the parents on the planet without growing the population overall. In the meantime, you can raise those children to be careful consumers and to be friends of the environment. Thanks for your candour in answering all these questions, Leah & Levi. You're great people and I reckon your kid's going to be awesome, too. 🙂 PS. The names Ferdinand, Jett, Jeffrey and Noah all mean "traveller". Then there's St Christopher, the patron saint of travellers. #JustSaying 😀
Thanks for those suggestions and kind response 🙏🏻🥰
@@LeahandLevi ♥
I really appreciate you guys addressing my question and your thoughtful response. Looking forward to seeing how you navigate this next part of your journey!
Hey thanks for asking! 🥹🥰
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with changing your life for your baby. Tried the whole baby fitting into my life approach turns out she doesn’t enjoy going out for dinner, late nights, or being out of her routine for naps 😂
Totally but depends on the tiny human too. Mine loves those things and would be so relaxed when we were out or excited when we'd do nature stuff. I was similar as a babe. My mom called me her little gogo baby lol because I loved being out and about having adventures with her and alone (with friends). Sometimes I feel bad because I don't take mine on as many adventures as my mom took me.
@@thatblvckhippie1911 totally, all baby personalities are different. I have a lot of friends whose babies love just chilling in their stroller for hours watching the world quietly and it makes it easier to go out for dinner or late night outings. Mine likes running around, can’t sit still and is very grumpy if she misses her bedtime. Mine also loves nature a lot but is more settled with routine and her own bed :)
Great answers! And you have passed the first test of parenthood by not wanting to make a permenant (child's name) decision based on temporary emotions! Best wishes for settling back in and the last trimester of pregnancy! No worries about the audio!
The year was 1967 my first US Navy assignment was Keyport, Washington and I Nanaimo, British Columbia. It was like no other place I have ever been as a young 20 year old. Fond memories. I love watching your content.
You’re funny, you’re honest, you complement each other, and you always leave us wanting more. Looking forward to your future endeavors.
I was so sad thinking that you were going to say your journey with us is over. I enjoy quite a few family oriented travelers, tryNsomethingnew being one of my favorites. I am excited to be able to continue following your journey into parenthood and beyond.
Thanks for being here! Our story is far from over and we’re pretty excited about it. 🥰
Thanks for keeping us in the loop and looking forward to what’s next! Love you, team!
Thanks Mike! 🥰🥹
You know you took your child on wonderful trips and adventures when they have their own kids and take them to those same places.
My friends get so creative in way to not show their babies face. Whether the dog is in the photo blocking the kids face, or they are holding her and she is looking behind them, I actually find it adorable and fun while still showing their lives!
So excited for you both!! One thing I would ask is that as you build your new rig, you hire a CPST to check the car seat you install for the little one is safe. We found when planning a big trip with our 9 month old that the only real safe option was to tow something with an actual car (so we could use LATCH etc) rather than trying to rig our car seat into the back of an RV and it not actually being safe for the babe.
Travelling with kids is not easy but it’s so worth it! Good luck!!
Really enjoy following your experiences and life journey. Wishing you all the best on your journey into parenthood ❤️
You guys rock. Congrats on coming back home, and with so many incredible shared experiences.
I love watching your videos! Keep up the great content!
Lovely Q&A session. Looking forward to following your next steps.
So excited for more family content and watching you guys go through this awesome journey becoming parents ❤
One of my favourite parts of being a parent was viewing the world through my child's eyes! You really hit the nail on the head with that, and the wonder!! It's so amazing!!!
Welcome home! I think it's great that you are going to be staying with family in the beginning journey of having your baby. Having a village is so true, the help and support is so important for all. Excited for you, you guys will be wonderful parents.
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Such great questions and answers! I'm excited to see your next adventures. You guys are so fun to watch.
Thanks so much! 🥹
So exciting!! So glad you guys were able to finish your trip - can't wait for the next chapter! I totally get that feeling though of "did this thing really happen?" every time I go on vacation 😂.
Exciting! I hope you protect your self and the baby. The net doesn't NEED to see the baby but you can decide.
Absolutely! 🥰 thanks for your comment 🙏🏼
@@LeahandLevi I love your channel
That’s so amazing you’ll be with family for the baby💜 I would have loved living with my parents for that time. Just make sure you take enough time for your little family on your own😊
Thank you for the answers! Love the new direction. Maybe you guys will inspire me to get working on our 30ft bus!
Audio isn’t bad at all! You guys are amazing!!
Ya it’s totally good!!
I agree, it was perfect.
I noticed it only in comparison to your intro segment, where you talk about the audio in the coming video. And then just in the beginning and got used to it pretty quickly.
You guys are great! I enjoy watching your videos before work on Saturdays.
Thanks for being here! 🥰
Love all the updates and so excited for you guys to experience being parents. Can't wait to see what else is to come.
Thank you so much! 🥹🥰
so lovely to hear your thoughts through this transition! been following for a while, it’s nice to see y’all remain consistent in your integrity and enthusiasm
Thank you for being here! 🥰
Thank you for sharing your journey. Because of your encouragements I traveled to WI from WA to visit family and slept in my Prius c both ways! It was an amazing experience and I'm so glad I did it. Keep being you! ❤
In a Prius C!? That’s impressive!
I don’t know if someone said this already in the comments. Adobe has that free AI audio software that would clean up the peaking and clipping, if you ever hit the wrong button again.
You’re both going to be great parents! Have fun and stuff. ❤
I fully believe you both will be great parents and I can’t wait to watch! Fair warning Levi, control goes out the window when a child enters your life but it’s just the best, best, best way to lose control!
Hey guys! Thanks for this thoughtful, well versed Q&A. My parents are in Nanaimo as well (right by the Gabriola ferry). Maybe next time I get over to visit them I'll see you on the Seawall there!
Since I started following your channel, I've realized that we probably hold some vastly different political ideas /views, and yet our values, not so different - in fact surprisingly similar.
I've gotta admit, I truly appreciate your ability to diplomatically respond to what someone from my side of the fence might think of as lunacy, lol.
It reveals not only common sense, but a level of respect that I believe is truly important (and also often lacking). I will accept that as a teachable moment so that I might pause before refering to someone as a 'crank'.
On the other hand, it is also true, that, as a society, we seem to accept and even promote a lot of dogma and claims that are unfounded. An example, is that public schools give students credit for protesting "man made climate change due to burning of fossil fuels" -- the protests involve blocking all traffic over the Lion's Gate bridge for 5 hours on a sweltering hot Friday afternoon and causing enormous gridlock on either end of the bridge -- hello -- not helping! We all should (and most of us do) care about the environment and pollution. Less dogma and more common sense and courtesy will serve us all better.
Cheers, and Welcome Home!...from North Vancouver.
I'm so glad I stumbled on you guys several months ago. You are good energy in my life, so whatever the channel looks like, I'll be here.
Well heck. 🥹 that was lovely as frick 🥰
+10db button?
Bro the audio quality is so much better than I was expecting, I was expecting super echoey unintelligible speech but I can understand everything you’re saying.
Love you guys ❤️
Really appreciated your answer about having children and the environment! I hate how environmentalists keep repeating the overpopulation myth when the real issue is overconsumption - the countries that have the biggest impact on the environment (so mainly western countries/the Global North) have had declining birth rates for years. Of course it's good that more people are making conscious choices about whether they want to have kids, but people really should stop shaming others for whatever choice they make! I loved following your journey for the past year and I can't wait to see what you're doing next - I'm sure you'll be wonderful parents raising wonderful eco-conscious kids 💚
Thanks for being here! 🥰🙏🏼
I found you guys while I was on the waitlist (for 6 months!) for my 2022 Prius (named Solstice, as I got on the list on June21, and picked her up on Dec 21). I got turned onto many Prius youtube channels, to get into the "Prius Vibe". I've followed most of your adventures, ever since. You guys are precious and lovely. I enjoy your relationship, in and out of the Prius. Thanks for sharing so much and so honestly. Continue to take such good care of each other and your baby/ies.
Well that's lovely! Congrats on your new prius 🥰🙋🏻♂
We can hear yall just fine 🙂 No worries
I love the language you use to talk about having kids/ what you appreciate about kids. think you guys are going to love it. I’ve got an 11 month old. Most amazing thing. Ah good people bringing a little person into the world! ❤
Thank you! We're trying our best!
What a great follow up to clue us all into the next portion of your journey! I believe I heard you slip and say your child’s name is going to be LL Bean? 😂
Wish you both lots of love and happiness as your life journey takes you into parenthood now also!
I started watching because of you traveling and in a Prius. I have fallen in love with both you! You both are cute, funny, smart and interesting. Glad you will continue with you tube! See you Saturday!
Geeeeeeez 🥹 😭 this was so nice!
A year! Wow what an amazing story, I have been following along for quite some time. I can’t wait to see you become parents (it’s the best and hardest job in the world, mom of 4). I am nervous and excited to see your next rv. Building is hard I did it last year with my brother who is skilled and it was very fun, frustrating, expensive (so $$) but I’m glad we have it because we love it. My 14 year old hates camping the others still enjoy it. It not sure how we navigate the mixed feelings from kids but we’re trying our best. Can’t wait to see you on the next video.
Thanks so much for being here! We're looking forward to the challenge/adventure. ❤️
Thanks for the video. But now I've got another question: What will happen to your yellow couch? Will you ever be rejunited?
It was so nice hearing your thoughts on choosing to have children. We have 4 and sometimes the state of the world gets to me so much that I question myself. Hearing you guys nakes me realize we'd do it all over again in 2023 :)
Thank you for this Q&A, lovely to see you and hear how your story unfolds :) It seems an obvious question but I'm curious of what is the deep reason for you to go back to travelling lifestyle after the little one is here? :)
Thanks for your question! Right now we like travelling and we have the unique ability to work while we travel so it kind of feels like something we should do too given our unique situation you know?
Thank you for being so honest! We love you and your content, small communities rock :)
And I'm so glad you're thinking of what privacy will look like for your child because the internet is forever and they deserve privacy. I knew a couple of kids whose moms were the early bloggers of the 2010s and the line is so thin sometimes...
Also, yeah, you're totally a power couple. I can't get over how levi looks at leah at 13:38
Thank you for your concern (and nice compliment 🤓) it’s a very interesting chapter we’re stepping into here. 👀
You guys are the coolest . I would love to join your patreon but im too broke ! But ill def keep watching you here 😊
Thank you so much! Absolutely NO pressure to support! We're just stoked to have you here 🥰
I can't believe it's been a year!! It's been such a fun journey. *ALSO* Was that a land line ringing?!! haha
Talking about Traveling with kids...I've followed the The Bucket List Family. They are thee most genuine , loving expression of a wholesome family. And they traveled all over the world with little ones!!!
Yes! They’re the ones who proved it can be done for sure!
I think you handled the question about having kids expertly. Happy for you guys. Enjoy the experience. And thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thanks for this nice comment! 🥹
Levi’s facial expressions during the slow zoom are so perfect
this is more than adorable. i mean, levi is tasting like peanut butter. how sweet it is from leah what she said about here perception 😊
Oh my ! Leah’s face when Levi said name the second child Kyle 😂😂😂. No offence either to any Kyles out there, but the Kyles I know 😱
Both of you are so amazing and thanks for sharing all your interesting adventures and informative perspectives!. Hilarious sidebar - I knew a Kyle who was so cool everyone wanted to join the Kyle High club!
Hahaha the Kyle High Club! 😂
I'm sooo curious about your condo and why you aren't going back!
Aaaaaahhh yeah it’s a whole thing! 🙃
Great watch as per.
Any chance you are having twins? Btw great Q&A. Loved the mix of questions and how genuine you two are. Happy nesting:)
12:57 yes leah, you are absolutely right
I like you two as couple!! and familyto be ❤❤❤ will follow you through life😊
The most important question though, is has Leah been reunited with her pottery?
Soon! 😍😍😍
welcome home...still enjoying my Tushy...!
re traveling with a kid. we travelled with o8rn7 year old from UK to USA, Canada and New Zealand as we were home schooling. We became even closer as a family, experiences we still talk about and he learned so much about the real world. I miss that but now he is 16 he wants to travel more and is into photography like his dad. We travelled in an RV the same size as the Canadian one you had. we also had one where the side went out when static. We are not rich and I am super ethical and were able to do it as ethically as we could. RE kid numbers. I agree to reduce the amount of children but The one I was luck to have comes with intention and encourging him to live intentionally. Good luck guys. xx Sorry if this doesnt all make sense but I am typing without my glasses which is somewhere downstairs .....
5:08 That’s funny. I started traveling in the US, thinking that it would be 6 months. It’s 7 years now and I still feel that traveling and there are so many things to hold on at and this place doesn’t feel like home. Feels like this answer opened a can of worms 😂
No sentiment here ,……. just …. I LOVE THE FRIDGE . It’s where life lives.
On the questions about the baby, I had intended to ask but I am curious what y'all's experience has been now having a "commitment" to a life after yours and if it impacts your views on climate, sustainability ect. especially now with the current fires going?
Just found out my future wife (we get married this Saturday) is pregnant. We liked to go on big adventures and have always said that a child would not get in the way of future adventures, we just have to carry and support the child through that as well. It’s for our benefit and theirs. We don’t give up anything of ours, and our child will experience things that some adults our age have never done. Win win! Thanks for your videos, and best luck with the rest of the pregnancy journey!
Congraaaaaaatulations! It’s so cool to hear that the people that follow us are kind of doing the same things that we are!
Nice trip and nice story. Your next adventure having a baby will transform you more than anything you've experienced. Is Levi going to be getting a straight job now?
Awesome
You might have to watch some RV families so van life or RVs are your next trip ideas
considering the money blood sweat and tears that The Endless Adventure channel couple has sunk into their RV clementine, i wish you two lovely lovely people the absolute best of luck!
Oh my gosh I really hope that thhis isn't nearly the project that theirs has been! 😬👀
Can't wait to see whatever vintage vehicle y'all get!!
Travel is educational period!
I have found once you turn the car around towards home you just want to get home. We have found on road trips it’s better to go slowly and see lots on the way and then drive back quickly on the way home.
Yes absolutely. SO glad we didn’t rush it because it was probably one of the most rewarding chapters of this journey. 🥹
I want a kid not only because I want one, but also because I know I'll raise a good kid who will care about the world around them and honestly, we need kids like that!
FnA are fixing to have a baby also. Y’all will be the 4th “travel” couple to have a child. Plus Heath and Alyssa now have 2 kids and are traveling with both of them. Can’t wait to see what the future brings!!
Nothing more exciting than to see life through a child’s eyes!!
I’ve loved the last year and your adventures so much! Can’t wait to see the future!
oh wow, just as you said you were going to a reveal for the car, I got an ad for a 2023 Tacoma 😆
Lol we wish 😅
What's happening to the old flat? Still renting it out? What are your plans for the future? AND WHAT ABOUT THE YELLOW COUCH?
My husband and I's choice to not have children isn't driven by empowerment or guilt, but rather this deep fear of a child's future in a world suffering from climate change. The guilt part would be the potential anxiety and fear the child would live with, resulting from our seemingly selfish decision to have them. I have gone back and forth for years, but I already see that fear in my niece's and nephew's minds, which would break me. I hope we collectively leave the world better than we found, so those children and your future child may thrive.
THE TWO OF YOU SOLD US TO MOVE TO Vancouver Island.And thank you for that.
Hey! Haha that’s a win in our books! Welcome to the neighbourhood 🙋🏻♂️
There’s no place like home! Especially when pregnant I’m sure, not speaking as if it was something I experienced.
Surreal lol. Yeah, did all those sketchy checkpoints in Mexico really even happen…??? 😅😂
PS. I sure you stay part of my Saturday mornings. Would truly miss you. 😊
We’ll thanks for being here. It means a lot! 🥰
Was the ticket issue really that bad?? FYI they're not all that bad but it was unfortunate you guys went through those little issues barely entering the USA. And Miguel sounds like a great name lol What would be the issue with showing the baby if he/she is part of your life?? Great Video 👍
....It's all or nothing. when it comes to including your child in your journeys. after it is a community.
I do love you guys. You’re both cute, smart and fun.
However the road trip is done and the interest for me in a family/baby oriented channel is low. So I’ll be checking out now. Thx so much for sharing the adventure for the last year !
I’ll check back now and then.
.. I will still continue to follow future proof.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for being here! As we mentioned… not going to be a baby/family channel but you do you! 👍🏼
@@LeahandLevi I’ll check back for sure !
People think having kids is bad for the environment, but alot of the things kids need can be bought second hand, or hand me downs. Plus if you teach your kids to take care of the environment, garden etc. using cloth diapers helps with the carbon footprint too. 🤷🏻♀️
14:29 Parents in the comments: "Oh you sweet summer child..."
True! Children change your goals. But that’s ok - massive transitions have that effect. You really cannot know how it will be until you have that child and learn that particular little being and their particular needs.
This is not to say you can’t travel with kids - in the mid 2000s, my spouse and I spent 7months travelling through SE Asia with 3 kids ages 6 and under, but the pace is different. I will say SE Asia in general is very family friendly!
@@mitrajordan Totally! Travel with kids is great!
You will figure out what works for you and your family - every kid is different and being flexible is a big part of parental life. That being said, you *will* adjust your life to suit them, they are gravitational forces that make travelling, home life, everything different and more complicated lol
❤
Is it uteruses or uteri?
I'm from a non English speaking country, so i don't get the grammar rules
How are the plants doing?
Do you two scuba dive?
I found it interesting that a person can get certified at 10 years old.
I feel like more people would care about the oceans if they scuba dive.
May be something you want to introduce your kid to - there's kids scuba diving clubs in swimming pools
i have to say, im incredibly curious as to what the mileage is on the prius after a full year of travel :b
We put over 30,000kms on it during the trip at least... 👀
Well I'm getting pretty jealous of the two of you you can still go wherever you want I'm looking at a time of about 5 years recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. 37 years of long-haul Trucking. Might come to an end soon
Hey, that is really tough to hear. Obviously words can’t change your situation but we’re hoping you find comfort soon. 🙏🏼
I’m sorry to hear this
Thank you
have you considered world back packing with the child? I met families doing that and it seems like fun, specially in places that cars aren't needed like asia and europe
That would be super cool! There's a bunch of ways to make it work, why not with a backpack!
How do you plan on educating your child if you want to live on the road? Or do you plan to settle down when it is time for them to attend school? Also totally reasonable if you haven't thought that far in advance 😅
Haha yeah we're not quite there yet tbh... still just getting this stage in motion first. We're going to see what makes the most sense as we get closer to the day 👍🏻
My son, 14 and my daughter who was 4 and myself went on a 10 day road trip. Our last stop was Niagara Falls where my we met our first India couple with a baby where my daughter asked if she could hold the babe and then asked if the baby had always been black. So have fun!
The "aren't kids bad for the planet" question I hope was asked by a highschooler because it's pretty obvious that if you're a person that even considers the concept of your environmental impact...you should have kids. If you haven't seen Idiocracy, you should at least look up the concept it puts forth that has a real truth to it. Environmentalists, scientists, people with good intentions should be having as many kids as possible to prevent future generations soley being made up of mindless consumers. The person asking that question should try to have an original thought for once and not just regurgitate something they heard on twitter. Humans are far to narcissistic and ununified to come together as one people to save the planet, it's going to take a small minority smart enough to make the major changes and technological advances required to continue our society as it is today.
The kids question interesting. You’re perfectly entitled to have them, and I wish you both the absolute best, but the species would survive if you didn’t :P The main ones to question should be those with the highest per capita emissions, with Canada being 7th behind the petrostates. Also again, I hope you’ve had an amazing year, but while boring and not great for content, you must admit it’s more sustainable to live in one place. You might be downsized living on the road but stationary downsized is still more sustainable. Transport is Canada’s 2nd largest emitter. Tourism is 8% of global emissions and transport is 16% but with 50% of the world's population living on less than $7 a day and 25% living on less than $3.50, heck even 60% of US population living paycheck to paycheck, travel for leisure really is a modern affluence that only a small number can afford. People complain about the developing world having so many kids, but with 1 US IT worker having the same emissions as 20 Ugandan subsistence farmers, it clearly has a different impact. Regardless, it’s not fair to expect Leah or Levi to ‘save the world’ nor hold any other individuals responsible (unless they’re billionaires) 😉
