Hi my name is Emi. I'm born in raise in small town just outside Quebec City, this is where my lovely accent come 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 will 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 will consider this the lowers 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 are have been living full-time in my self convert van.
Hey, everyone, be careful their are scammers again pretending to be me. Please report them if you see them. I'm not on telegram and will never ask you for money.
Thank you ❤
Yes I just got one, saying telegram you!! Lucky I don’t know how to do it… lol! Not very computer savvy.. in this case I’m the lucky one.. lol!😆
Hi Emi! As far as your stove all you need to do is exchange it for a new one or return it for a refund at Walmart, they have a 90 day return period. If you don't have a receipt and paid with a debit or credit card they can look up the transaction by swiping your car 😊👍😊
Kelly is such a sweet kitty.
Hope kitty doesn't pull that hot kettle on herself..nice ocean shot. Reminds me of newfoundland my province..here in cz no sea no ocean..😅
Emi, please review your post showing Kitty playing with the string on the tea bag. The pot was steaming hot and she could have dumped it on herself with unthinkable consequences.
This is not meant to be a critique, just a safety observation.
Love you and kitty.
Sending a little gift to offset that not so nice comment about dear Kelly. ❤❤❤ we love her and you!
Awe ❤️ thank you I really appreciate but I really don't care about the negative comments they don't affect me anymore.
Emi we love and adore you and Ms Kelly ❤
I totally agree! I love ALL the snippets of Kelly, please include as much as you want to. ❤
@@ThecatladyVANpowerful
So sweet!!
I hope you can shake your illness. Don’t worry about the idiots with negative comments, they need to move onto another channel. Kelly is so intelligent and the sweetest kitty, definitely the love of your life and mine too! You are the Best Emi, don’t let the negative get to you, we all your regular followers and adore you! Chin up girl.
Don’t worry about rude people just do your videos the way that makes you happy. We all love them.
Love miss kitty❤️ and you being vegan makes me so happy to watch. Those who don't love animals don't get that miss kitty is family and your little soulmate. Mine passed recently and I am devastated so give kitty hugs n kisses for me 🐈⬛
Veganism is misanthropic and evil.
Feel better soon Love. ❤🐈⬛️ Oh and return that stove to Wal-Mart. Make them give you your money back .
I was going to suggest it too. It probably has a defect...
Yes definitely return it
Yes, return stove for refund. AND THANK U FOR SHARING YOUR SELF AND KELLY WITH US. I love watching Kelly...My cats watch occasionally also.
Yes, return it, just tell them it quit working, which is true...
😂 Walmart crap 💩
I love seeing Miss Kelly. Her playing makes me smile. Your title is cat lady Van! No surprise you will be showing your precious kitty.
Hello Kellie, & miss kitty, one cute little cat.
Love her bed on the counter, looks comfy.
I sure love watching videos of your darn cat! She makes me smile and my heart warm. She adds so much joy to all our lives❤
Emi, unless your timing chain has been changed in the past, please ask Loren about putting on a new timing chain when he does the head gaskets. Very important.
👏🤩 Glad you are feeling better!! Lauren is super amazing 🙌 Great to hear your van is getting needed maintenance done 🔧
I’m a huge fan of your channel. That means, I like all of it, especially Kelly. It is about your life in a van either way your kitty. It could be a nature walk, cooking, cat grooming, repairs, etc. It’s your channel that I CHOOSE to watch. Please keep up the excellent work. Your experiences bring me joy. Thank you for your hard work.
And get well soon dear Emi

Aww that nice Loren look at your van. Glad you starting to feel better. Love seeing Kelly play with her tail and just sitting there next to you in the van. Sending her lots of hugs and love. I wish I could cuddle her. She is beautiful cat. Also that your new stove will last you. God bless you and Kelly. Much love for you both!!!♥♥♥♥♥🧡🧡

@TheCatLadyVANv I will try. I tried TELEGRAM yesterday and I couldn't get through! Going to try right now. Thank you
Dear Emmi ignore the nasty trolls full of jealousy and hatred,we do love your kitty and could watch her for hours! Please don't stop :)
Jealousy for sure!
I love watching you and the beautiful Kelly🐱 show more of her. Stay safe and ignore stupid comments.💖
Love that you fulltime with your kitty! I've been fulltime rving with my 4 kitties for many years. Cute, cute she comes running when it's time to go, anticipating an exciting ride and then her holding on for dear life like a kid on a merry go round. Thanks for sharing. Hope your repairs get done fast. Happy Trails.
Hi Emi, I am so glad your feeling better! May the Lord Bless you, Protect you and Heal you completely, Amen
Great idea Emily, also have a little hand sanitizer with you at least 70% alcohol and use on hands after using the machine before you touch your face. Feel better
I love you showing sweet Kelly Kitty! I hope you continue to have amazing adventures even though there can be blue days.
Emi and Kelly are one and the same. This is love. End of conversation.
The beach is beautiful. I could hear the whistling of the wind. Sorry your sick. Hope you feel better soon!
Emmy, when you bought that I knew it wouldn’t last. I said to myself she should have bought another Coleman. They make the best, reasonable, camping equipment. Take that other one back.
I would return the stove to Walmart, it should definitely last longer than a month or two. Walmart is good for accepting returns.
Whatever virus is going around zaps your energy for weeks. I had it 3 weeks ago and some days I am still horribly tired. So is my son. I am 70 and he is 35.
Walmart will prob give you store credit for the stove
Feel better ❤️🩹,30 day rule on returns, happier adventures await ❤, @ least public see’s the much needed outings. “Me Time “ LoLe’s off road is an Amazing Guy. ❤
@@wandamervil5987 30 days with receipt to get money back...store credit if product still in stock
Worth a try
They will give her money back if its in the time frame they set at the store credit otherwise
I would take it back as it could be faulty and they may replace it
Why try another stove and possibly have the same problem again? Take the money and run.
Feel better Emi. Yeah , Coleman is a better stove .
❤ Miss Kelly and you, look forward to your adventures.
I was going to buy a Walmart stove - going to pass and look for the Coleman one. Thank you 😊
I could sit there for hours! ❤2:32 gorgeous place. Hugs to you and Kelly!
😘to Kelly love her !!
Walmart should take the defective stove back.
Oh that beach is so amazing
Hugs 🤗
So glad to see that you have someone trustworthy taking care of you and your van
Hope you’re feeling better by the time we see this! ❤ It’s so good to see Loren helping you with that head gasket issue, and that you’ll be in Chrome’s shop to get it done. You’ll be so ready for your upcoming trip! And how much fun was Kelly playing with her own tail?! 😂 She can make her own fun wherever she is! 😊❤
Oh I watched a segment about gym equipment and germs and yes you are correct!! You likely got from gym. The soapy solution needs to stay on for longer to be effective. Like 20 mins! Essentially it’s been proven that wiping down the gym equipment the way the gym goers do is essentially ineffective. So you are likely correct! Maybe wear latex gloves if you use stuff like cross trainers, weights etc. ❤
Do you expect to go through life without contracting flu ?
@@pantiltmonkeyI’m 70 and have never had the flu, so I’m not sure where you’re going with that comment. Have a great day!
@@pantiltmonkeywhy not?
Kelly ❤🥰😘
The park with the secluded beach area was really nice to see. If you can handle wearing gloves at the gym that might help. I've been thinking about getting a portable stove, glad I didn't get the one walmart sells. I had sent you some "throat coat" tea, if you still have it drink some of that, it will really help with the sore throat.
Thanks for the heads up on the stove. I will look for a Coleman.
Coleman is a great product
Hope you feel better get well .kisses for kitty
I'm a cat lady too. I love seeing your kitty. Keep 'em coming!
I love your cat! I have cats of my own and they bring so much to my life. Plus Kelly has such a cute personality ❤️I watch no matter what you are doing or not doing. Love to you from Washington State.
Thank you for letting us see the beautiful scenery with you. I hope you are back on the road soon. Take care ❤😊
I always look forward to seeing Ms. Kelly and Emi because I know if I'm having a bad day I'll get a smile on my face. I hope you get the CAT VAN fixed soon. Love you girls! Sherry
Good idea to clean before, i clean shopping trolleys before I use them.

Hello Emi, It's nice that you finally got better weather and I wish you a speedy recovery and all the best with the repairs to your van! Aww, Kelly is such a sweet girl and reminds me a lot of my cat Kira! I always look forward to your new videos and recently started watching your first videos in chronological order from when you started your UA-cam channel! Many greetings from the Graz surroundings, Styria, Austria 🇦🇹, Christoph and my 4 cats 'Barney, Kira, Sial and Ted' 😊😻👋
As a certified Cat Person, I am happy to see any feline content. 😊
If you dont find your coleman, eureka is also a good one. I've had mine for about 4 years now. Wishing you all the best.
Happy for you getting van head gasket fixed. It’s nice to have the use of garage while fixing van.

Miss Kitty is the reason I started watching this channel. I enjoy watching you Emi and your beautiful Kitty. Ignore the people who have bad comments. They wouldn't be doing that if their picture and location were posted with their comments. Keep making your videos just as you have. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Emi, I’m dealing with allergies and is been going on for over 2 weeks, hope you feel back to yourself soon..😊
Sucks being less than 100 % in a van....

So far I've cracked my ribs, had a skin infection, and food poisoning
Not fun even a hang nsil🎉❤😂
Hope you're feeling better soon 🎉
Feel so much better Emi.💜🙏🏻

Sending healing & hope u r better soon!!!
✌🏼❤️
Kitty is adorable playing like that so cute
While getting motor fixed Emily get your van lifted with a kit like chrome has be epic … get some flexible solar panels see you in the back country
Coleman is a good 👍😊 product!!

O Emmie hugs hope your well soon! 🫂
Loren is a rock star!! Wish I could find a mechanic like him around here. Hope you feel better soon.
Hope you feel better soon. I always enjoy watching Kelly. She is so cute, sweet, and an intelligent kitty. Thank you for sharing her with us.
Kitty is your family I enjoy your videos
Miss kitty is a cut cat love your videos.
I watch Emi's videos because of her and her cat- she inspired me so I could take my cat. If you don't like it why not watch someone you don't have to criticize?
Love the glasses.❤️
Take back to Wal Mart and get either a refund or exchange. Could be you just got a dud.
0:55 omg Kelly! So funny! I gotta watch that again! That’s for the great shots filming Kelly Emi! She is precious!
Walmart is pretty good about returns. I would definitely take it back and see what they are willing to do.
Coleman is great but I have the same one from Walmart and never had a problem.
I have the Gas One have not had problems, Ive heard good things about coleman also .. you can take that one back to any walmart with the receipt show them that issue they will take it back...
Can’t wait see summer videos/ love your cat
Kitty is full of energy today and happy. Keep sending posts with her
love Kelly sweet kitty
Ignore idiot people some of us love you and kelly
Hello Emi and Kelly..glad you're feeling better.
I wash my hands every time after my workout. Never miss washing my hands after my workout. I, too, got the flu once after a workout. Well glad you have Loren to help you out.
