Hi my name is Emi. 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.
Yay that the hightop is dry though and you're getting the rust repaired !!! Meanwhile, houses and condos get leaks too, we just had a leaky fan coil valve (part of the HVAC system) it was only quick thinking that saved our new flooring! So, you're not alone, wherever you live, no matter how old or new, stuff happens :) You always take it gracefully. I admire that.
Hello there, Emi and Kelly. I'm glad to hear you found someone to do the rust repair on your van. I'm happy that news brought you smiles and happiness.
Kelly is such a great companion for you .. what a cool kitty ❤🐱

Good morning Emi! I'm visiting Vancouver Island and the rain a few days ago was intense! I'm grateful for the beautiful weather today!
Great video Emi and Miss Kelly. ❤❤ xx
Have a wonderful day even if it’s raining. Canada is so pretty I love the scenery. Kelly so beautiful has a calm demeanor. Take care be safe have fun life is better when your exploring the outdoors.❤🐈
Canada looks so nice. Where ever you go and no matter the weather, the scenery is always beautiful. I also love how RV friendly it is (from what I see in your vids). I’m in the east coast in the states and it can be tough to find spots. Hope I can visit Canada one day 🤞🏻🤞🏻. Much love to you and Kelly.❤

Hi Emi

Hi XO to Kelly…thank you for your videos. 🙏
Not a leak again? At least the roof is ok now. Bonne fin de semaine à toi et Kelly. hugs
Oh no!!
Thank you for donating to those with diabetes Emi. I am diabetic. ❤
Me too. We don't have donation boxes like that in Texas USA. Jeffie Bear is part of this decision I'm sure.
Your hair looks so cute that length, very flattering! You did that yourself didn't you? Well done💇♀️👏
Yes, she cut in right in front of us! Very brave! Lol
❤

Do you ever get lonely?
No I go see my friends when I want. I also met a lot of other van dwellers.

Hello Emi and Kelly have you ever thought of putting a layer of water resistant on your whole van
Again? And now what?
