Hi, my name is Emi. I'm born in raise in small town just outside Quebec City, this is where my lovely accent comes from. My #vanlife story starts in September 2018. After a long-term relationship that I was trying for more than a year to rebuild, I decided it was time to end this toxic relationship once for all. This is where I decided to move away from this man that I was still in love with. I put all my belongings inside my SUV (GMC Jimmy) and moved six hours from where I was living. I didn’t know where I would sleep, didn’t know where I would work, but I knew I needed to make a drastic move. At that time, I told myself I would only sleep in my car for a month while looking for a place to rent. What I didn’t know is that one month became another month and another month. In the end, I end up sleeping in my car for a full year. Even if people consider this the lowest time of my life, this experience was the best thing I couldn’t have done with my life. I took that year to focus on myself, decide what I wanted, and most importantly, what I didn’t want. That year made me also realize that for so long, I was chasing the wrong dreams. I was chasing what society wanted me to be: to have a big house, a steady job, kids, get married… None of those dreams was making me happy. In September 2019, while I was actively looking for a van, I received a phone call that someone had found my cat (Kelly). After trying for hours with no success to communicate with my ex-boyfriend (who was taking care of her), I decided to drive the six hours to go pick her up. Without going into too much detail, it turns out he wasn’t able to take care of her anymore. So I brought her in a cat kennel for a couple of days until I found a van we both could live in. I put all the savings that I had accumulated while living in my car and bought my van (a 2011 Ford Econoline that I end up adding a hightop) In the beginning, It wasn’t so glamour. My cat and I were sleeping on a mattress on the floor of the van. We both had to adjust. Now, my cat loves this lifestyle as much as I do; she looks at the window while I’m driving, and she loves exploring new places. Since then, my cat Kelly and I have been living full-time in my self convert van.
Guys & Gals we need MORE SUBSCRIBERS for Emi's goal🎉
Amazing, Absolutely brilliant and beautiful…
You are a very talented, creative videographer and as usual fantastic video - I also really like the variety in your videos, you show us a bit of everything and I especially like your food / cooking. It encourages me to try something new and to try more vegetables/ meat alternatives. Hope you and Kelly have a good rest and not be bothered by the trucks and trains all night. ❤😊😺
❤🎉
You are looking good Emi,looks like you have lost some weight ❤
yikes 😬
Your wild life shots are second to none. They are all marketable photo shots.
I agree!
She has a wonderful eye.
Please make a wild life calendar with your shots!! I know it would be a lot of work, however I think it would be a big hit. Just a thought Emi, love to you and Kelly 🐈⬛🗓️🐻🐿️🦆🦭
Some community magazines pay for photos of wildlife and/landscapes in their areas. A friend of mine made a lot of money each summer doing that in all areas of Alberta.
I agree!
Hi there, another great video. Thank you for sharing. Love the waterfalls & the sound alone just so relaxing thank you again!! and stay safe out there till next time..🚐🏔️🐾🐾😎
That waterfall is so pretty! I love your videos for the scenery and animals!

You are a gifted nature and wildlife photographer. I love traveling with you via UA-cam. I feel lije I am right there with you. Those falls are now on my bucket list to visit along with that valley with the fresh fruit!
Beautiful nature❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for sharing ❤ 😊 this
Thank you for sharing your wildlife photos and your waterfall walk
Such beauty in our world
And really nice music ! Sweet kitty ❤
Beautiful scenery again! you look great, must be eating very healthy
Your van is looking so good. It is amazing how you fixed it up.
You do need to market your photography. Gorgeous. The store has such a variety. This is cherry time. Our festival is next month. Blueberries are good this year. Will be heading to the farmer’s market this weekend.
As always really beautiful wildlife shots. Hope you both doing fine. Loving the little projects. I know you've just had one heck of a time sorting out the engine but very pleased for you that it's sorted! Feel bad asking this but what's happening about the rust underneath because I think that's probably the last part of the renovation plan 👍
The filmology is amazing
Girl… idk what it is but you look really good with a ponytail and a cap. Super freaking cute luv.
You take beautiful photographs
Thanks for sharing your beautiful adventures with us!!
Beautiful wildlife. We live in an abundant universe with more than enough for everyone to be grateful for.
❤❤❤
Absolutely 💯! ❤
totally disagree we live I a world where everything is getting destroyed systematically
@@helenlizzystewart4908 bless you. Hope it gets better .
Hope u washed those cherries !(even if organic ..) btw u look great in cap 😊
Amaaaazing photography at the start Emi! Wow, just wow 😊❤
Those waterfalls are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Safe travels to you & Kelly. 🧡
You look amazing in those blacks pants with the hat on your very pretty 🤩🤩🤩
I so agree! I never buy the "USA" strawberries. For a very brief time the local BC strawberries show up and they leave the shelf as fast as they can stock them. They are sweet and juicy and lovely.
2:40 That’s a LOUD one! Lots of power with this waterfall.
Lovely video, Emmy, stay safe. 😊🏴
Emi,I absolutely love your laid-back attitude towards life and adventure.
I forgot how lovely the inside of your van is. I'm so glad you're in your home AND on the road!
It's so good to see you and kitty out and about again❤You look so good and refreshed❤ I really enjoy you beautiful close up shots of the wildlife you csn tell you are a professional photographer, just beautiful ❤
Girl whatever you're doing keep it up. You look GREAT! 🌟

We only get our strawberries from our local farm shop and they grow all their soft fruits 😊
Such beautiful nature and wildlife. Chin scritches for Ms. Kelly.
Love watching your wildlife videos and pictures… thank you ❤
Loved the marmot 💛
Yummmm… fresh asparagus & cherries 🍒

I just love waterfalls, thank you for showing us that.
June is definitely cherry season in the Okanagan!
I love cherries!
Beautiful scenery! Love you Emi
I just put strawberries on my grocery list. Thanks for the reminder!
Loved the video.
That was a kiss and a high five 👋
Your photography is awesome. Beautiful part of Canada
KITTY KISS!😊
Well done on breaking 80k subscribers! Only just noticed. 😊
I enjoy watching all your videos from Malaysia 🇲🇾 . You're a talented photographer and story-teller.
During my student days at Acadia University in Wolfville, NS, I once worked picking strawberries on a farm during the spring. It was good money that afforded me to go travelling to Montreal, Toronto, and Niagara Falls in the summer that year.
I love the things you choose to share with us. You know what people need. Thank you so much.
C'est le temps des fraises et du blé d'inde au Québec ❤
Your nature shots are amazing
Such cute animals at the beginning, awesome scenery, thanks for the travels on my lunch break from my project list.
Beautiful Scenery.....
I went gold panning right there lol. I was 18 and my sister was expecting bit i was there and im now 55 lol
Kelly, the Tiny Land Panther is adorable in the wild. She does love to be outdoors, but not a fan of waterfalls?
You have a summer glow. All the hiking is paying off girl. You look good
❤
Critters are so cute
STUNNINGLY BREATHING BEAUTY! It's amazes me why they charge us to see what God and Mother Earth has made for our eyes to enjoy. Miss. Kelly gave us a kiss AND a high five today and this is why we love her and never want to stop seeing her in every video even when catches prey. Blessings and Love!
That was a nice start to your video. Water fall was nice too.
I could watch your wildlife videos all day Emi, what a talent you have. I love how you pronounce okanagan :) oh-can-og-gan is how it’s prnouced. You make it sound Irish lol o’can-a-gan
I like the way you get dressed now, keep it up, you look like a star now 👍

If you truly want produce you can trust, grow your own. I know you can't do that as part of van life, unless you participate in community gardening. But here in the US, even "certified organic" standards allow some chemicals that are highly questionable. Especially with extremely perishable foods like strawberries. Love your videos, your simple but sensible outlook on all topics is so welcoming!😊
Amazing nature pics 🙌 I have messaged before letting you know that you totally remind me of my sister, absolutely inspiring ♥️💕👍
