#surprise #Australia #travel
We are beyond excited to share this with you all! It has been in the planning for months and was incredibly hard to keep secret. But oh so worth it!!
My family have all said that it will go down as one of the best moments of their lives and the same is certainly true for us.
We have 6 weeks in sunny Australia and can't wait to share this amazing country with you. Afterwards, we fly back to pick up King Occy and then back to the van in Colombia. We are so so excited to continue our journey through South America! Bring on 2019!!!!
Great start to year! 🥂
Also, so great that moment was caught on camera. 💖
I can't tell you how happy I am for you both!! I have literally been wishing and praying that you would get to go home soon. I'm almost as excited as your family. It made me cry too.
I hope you have a blast with your family!! Can't wait to get a peak into your fun. Thanks for sharing, it's cheered me up a lot.
@@zenseed75 The best!
Thank you for your attitude, and mindfulness about the feelings of your dog. I love it when people express that bond so well. Animals have feelings too.
My pleasure Nita. It's made easy when he's my best friend too 😉
Yes you truly love ur precious dog ..
Dogs are family. Period. It's impossible to come home in a bad mood when my boy greets me at the door. Simply impossible. Doesn't matter the day I've had.
😭😭
In a world of hatred,its so good to see a couple with such good hearts.
@Mark White Media what's that meant to mean?what is your problem?
@Mark White Media I think the hatred part was for you. Crikey matey
🙏🙌❤️😃
I agree....but then she goes and kills herself. In a world of hatred, what can u do?
My thoughts
Oh my goodness! I’m at the gym on the bike watching this and literally crying! I’m Canadian (from Kitchener) and have a similar romance style (met my husband while we were traveling the world both working on a cruise line). We eventually got off ships, moved to Texas for him to go to one of the best jazz schools in the states (neither of us have family there - he’s from Puerto Rico) and life has taken us on many adventures and way too many planes, trains and buses to count! It’s 20 years later and we just moved to Manhattan after our last move from Germany where we lived for 4 years. I haven’t even watched the whole video yet but in 20 years we’ve lived in 9 places (10 including NYC) and I had to stop at the point of you guys getting on the plane in Toronto - sooooooo happy for you guys that that worked out! The kindness of strangers is always such a blessing and just seeing Lee in tears - man I’ve been there so many times at various airports for various reasons. So happy once again for you! I started watching your channel while in Germany (TH-cam videos in English were my best friend lol) and was excited to see another Lee from Ontario (I’m a Leigh too!). Continued blessings on your journeys. Life is short and I’ve found my very best moments have been traveling to new and familiar places seeking adventures, friends and family. Cheers!
Wow Leigh! For starters, the image of you crying on the bike at the gym 😥😂.
But also loved hearing the story of your crazy travel/international relationship life!! Glad you have enjoyed our videos and best of luck with Manhattan!
Lol! Yeah it was more like misty eyes and a few drops more than sobs lolzzzz!!!! Excited to see where the journey takes you next:)
I am from Nova Scotia and while backpacking through Europe, and spending a few months with my brother in Prague I went off to travel solo fro. Prague, Sofia, Budapest, Istanbul, Greek islands, italy, Germany.........when in Greece one morning at 6:00 am I met a guy, an American guy while waiting for the ferry from the Greek island of Samos to go to Paros. He is a Texan from San Antonio. He was spending the summer visiting his brother in Istanbul. He came up and introduced himself to me and we started talking.....we talked for hours and got off the ferry together and spent the next few days traveling around Paros. Well.... that was 1993 and it’s now 2019 and we ha e been married for 25 years....have two beautiful daughters and have lived in Seattle, Wyoming, Maine, back to Seattle then to where we now live in Texas......amazing stories do still happen!
Majority of the video I'm like... "oh yay! travel vlog." Then at the surprise part "dang who's cutting the onions?" This is just beautiful. I love the brother's reaction, it's priceless!
I've been watching these older videos. Wow! I really see Lee's highs &Lows. She had such a beautiful heart.
i love how real Max and Lee are. the first thing lee thinks after the guy helped them out was they needed to pay it forward and Max mentions karma n how he hope that guy has a great 2019. you guys are great. HAVE FUN DOWN UNDER!!!
PB&J Aww thank you! ❤️ We would like to think everyone would have the same attitude. He did a wonderful thing for us that he didn’t have to do. Just wish we got his name to thank him publicly!!
We will, hope you are excited to see Australia!!
so do i. love them so much
He looks slightly like Stephen Amell
You guys and your constant drama--I'm always sitting on the edge of my seat, biting my fingernails!! Will they make it? Won't they? So happy for that wonderful reunion with your family. I was honestly sobbing along with your whole family! And that baby--OMG--cutest ever! Happy New Year, Max and Lee. May 2019 be your best year ever!
Ann Goodman ha we honestly don’t mean to be!! I swear sometimes we don’t learn Ann. The reunion will go down as one of our favourite moments ever. Sorry to make you cry though. You were definitely not alone. RJ is the cutest baby in the world (not biased at all...). Happy New Year Ann and thank you for all your wonderful support in 2018!!
As a American truck driver that ran into and out of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, that is one thing i loved about running up there is how well i was treated by the people i came into contact with there, beautiful and wonderful people, thank you very much from the Lone Star State for making a lasting impression
I cried a lot!! Lol his brother’s reaction=priceless 😭
I never get tired of watching this. When his brother see Max , tears. So special 😍
It's heart warming to see how you guys appreciate the relationships.
❤️
Aww, that blissed out smile at the end... so happy for you, new uncle. Being an auntie has been the best part of my life. 💜
I just randomly stumbled upon this, and let me just say, you guys are just good people. I could tell within the first 60 seconds by how you were upset to leave your dog that both of you have a heart properly located. Nothing but the best wishes to these two.
Just to let you know lee took her own life in front of a train about 6 weeks ago after a battle with depression
I only found out myself few days ago.
@@Watchugoton That's horrible. People don't understand how serious mental illness is. That legitimately hurt my heart, it's always the best people that struggle with the darkest things.
Well you made me cry Australia was my home fore many many years,and I haven’t seen my family for a 11 years and two of my grandchildren 30 years,Australia is very big now it’s covid 19 and I lost my hopes to get on a plane,about your lovely Dog,it’s good to know that there’s good people like you knowing that Dogs suffer for the absent “mummy and daddy “I am sure you give her many cuddles when you went back home.....❤️
That was priceless! Thanks so much for sharing your visit with us. Beautiful family. =)
Omg the visa part got me in tears when the girlfriend started crying.. i know the struggle aswel. Such a beautiful vlog ❤️
Messages and then you can do it
Soooo many tears of happiness right now! What an incredible surprise for all of you ❤️ Happy New Year!!! And tell your brother/brother-in-law and sister/sister-in-law that they have one beautiful baby ☺️
I think more people then not may have teared up in this one Megan! Hope you are having a wonderful start to 2019!!! ❤️
I'm crying already and that was when you was saying goodbye to your dog 😭
Yes that really sad sse the dog run to the car
I'm a first time viewer and the dog KILLED me at the onset! See, at 58 years old people know me as a "cat person". There's a reason why I have only had cats in my entire adult life. It's because my dog is irreplaceable. I grew up with him and he was my best friend and protected my family during the most frightening and dangerous times in my life durjng my early teens. He was my constant companion and he loved and protected all the family pets as well. when I was 17 a step-dad gave him away. I have never gotten past how he must have felt. I still miss him and will never own another dog. I just want to see Ringo again. Guessing that will be when I die. I fully believe that he will be there to greet me when I do. 💖😊
@@mecfstraveler This is sad truly sad ...I pray you are blessed with joy and happiness all the days of your life .
Me too !!
Me toooo hahahhaha❤
So very sweet. Warmed my heart. Thank you for sharing such a sweet family event.
Miss you, Lee! Rest In Peace, baby girl.
I had real tears in my eyes, watching this! So wonderful, and Congrats to your brother and his family!
You are not alone Meggie!
Max and Lee - once again you have inspired, instructed and entertained... somehow you make regular life so much more interesting, and you are so humble, so real and just so.... good... thank you for the "pay it forward" reminder and for all the ways you teach lovingkindness. I am always overjoyed at the ways you treat each other so well, and it was really fun to see your carefully planned surprise work out! Happy New Year! Thanks again for including all of us in the fun!
Aww Leana, we always enjoy hearing from you! How is your Winnebago treating you - are you back to Baja this winter? 💜
@@MaxLeeandOccy- I'm off to Hawaii soon! The aloha is calling me back - and truthfully I'm dreaming myself out of the winnebago into a van... I just love everything about the stealth possibilities and also just the driveability. The winnebago was a failed experiment! I also decided that March is a better time for Baja - it's warmer then... who knows what other adventures are coming! Enjoy all your family time, I know many of us just love being "in the fam"! Happy New year!
Oh my this brought tears of joys to my eyes❤️ The baby is so cute😭💋
Ahnessa Mccallum you are not alone!! And yes little RJ is such a little beauty!!
Between your love for your dog, and paying it forward, I love how you guys think. We need more people like you. Since 2019 is almost over, may you have a beautiful and truly blessed 2020. Namaste.
Love this video. It popped up on my TH-cam and I’m glad I watched it. Lovely couple. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
You guys are incredible! Thank you for sharing your journey and stories with us!!
HECTOR ALEJANDRO GUERRERO🎥 Aww thank you!!
Have to admit that was WONDERFUL! Kind of reminded me of the "Amazing Race!" on CBS! So wonderful to see all your family surprised! Just so wonderful to see that the entire family come together with the birth of a new family member! Have a GREAT TIME DOWN UNDER!
Absolutely beautiful! Congrats on being a new Uncle😉
We need memories like these, one life make the best of it.
They go out of their way to see their loved ones and the airport people are great for helping them out that's a gift.
How can anyone not like this video. It’s amazing. So happy for all of you.
Happy New Year! What an amazing surprise for Max's family and how lucky that everything worked out well with the visas! And I love how you went from the middle of winter in Canada to the middle of summer in Australia!
Anne Elizabeth we can’t believe how well it worked out! It was honestly a little stressful keeping the secret but as we have said, oh so worth it!
And yep, it is blooooody hot here hahaha
This really was an edge of the seat video. An achievement just making the vid let alone you two going through the journey. So glad everything worked out & what a beautiful baby! 💝
Aw thank you so much Rimona! It was really fun to edit this one because I got to relive the emotions again and again ✨Thanks for watching!

Watching your videos makes me want to smile ,feel happy and enjoy life, especially with my loved ones. Thank you for this, both of you. You are a beautiful couple with extreme amounts of Love for each other. I agree with @Michael Tondi, this video brought tears to my eyes for all the right reasons. Keep At It and much love from the Sundance Sea.
This is absolutely one of the best things I've watched! Beautiful family! Made me cry and laugh..you guys are very entertaining!
Very nice family and so much love each other...
This came up in my feed and made it that much sadder that Lee is gone :'(
Just came up again in my feed 😢. May the Lords Strength, courage, perseverance and his peace always go with, before and come after. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Just clicked on just to have a look, Wow, God bless you guys for doing this. My only one wish if my 2 daughters would surprise me like that after not seeing them for over 10 years. All the best to you two and ALL your family and the new born bubs. Cheers Teddy
Could not stop crying when you walked through the door and saw your family
Just found your channel and what a great video to watch first! I grew up in Forster NSW, so close to Newcastle! I just spent 9 years living close to family again but have returned with my husband and children to remote far north QLD. Will now be back to only seeing family every 1-2 years. It’s hard but we love our life! All the best!
Sandy R wow so glad you found us Sandy!! Hope you aren’t copping too much rain up there atm!
Sandy R wow so glad you found us Sandy!! Hope you aren’t copping too much rain up there atm!

This was the 1st video I ever saw of y’all! Y’all carried me on many adventures after that. Thank you
That last shot of the baby and Max.....priceless!
Before corona, wow.. Damn i really took that freedom for granted
COVID didn't take your freedom, government did. Big difference.
beautiful couple. love is the best medicine for life!
Hey guys.Brought tears to my eyes too.
You guys are the best. Your videos brighten all of our days and we are so grateful!
Thank you for your lovely comment, Ally. It was the most beautiful, incredible surprise!
I have joined them in peru for a couple of weeks (what an adventure!) and am so proud of Max and Lee. They are genuinely lovely people.
Jane (max's mum) x
The best part of the vlog is the beautiful shot...right at the end...of the baby sleeping on Max. So cute.
What a heartwarming video! Happy New Year to both of you and Occy!!!
Aww thanks Patricia!! Happy New Year!
Love you both, such a amazing couple nd a cute dog, started following u this week, keep going, actually i love max smile,keep smiling,,love from India ❤️.
paani puri Awww thank you . So glad you found us!!!
Stumbled upon your video whilst in bed with a mild head cold and slight headache. Now have a more severe headache after blubbering like a 4 year old.
Totally worth it.
Subscribed.
May good karma keep you two company in your adventures x
Brighten my day! I didn't want the video to end. Just read the other comments. Peace with each of you!
I just found your channel now guys but I'm already in love with you guys. I can feel the sincerity, the calmness and being genuine. I dont know you both but I think you are good people. Godbless you guys. More blessings and take care always. ❤️
That was an amazing surprise & a lot had to come about to make it happen including getting Max's Visa! congrats on pulling it off!😁
Samuel Penn aww thanks Sam!
This came up on my feed. I’m glad it did. I may have to check out more videos. I didn’t think I could miss Australia any more than I already do ... ☹️ Take me back. Fellow Canadian here.
Stoked it did too Lisa! Hopefully be seeing you on more adventures ❤️
What a great surprise for your brother, how fun! My son just returned home to Canada today from Sydney (only a 12 hour return flight with head winds!). Coincidentally he played hockey in Newcastle this past year and love, love, loved the area (and now I know why, it looks gorgeous there!) but it is the people he truly enjoyed - wonderful people!
Congrats on the bundle of joy I recently stumble upon your channel and I have been binge watching your amazing travels now for two days straight and I loveing every minute of it soooooo cool guys God bless
So beautiful, guys! Happy New Year from my vegan fam to you
Thanks Marie, we hope your 2019 is off to a wonderful start ✨
My beautiful Australian son is married to a beautiful Canadian girl, they've been through all the visa dramas too. Lucky for me they moved back to Australia 2 years ago after being in Vancouver for 3 years.
Gorgeous reunion, I was exactly the same as your mum.😭😭
He probably got tired of rain and fog all the time so moved back there lol I myself would love to visit Australia sometime for sure
We just can't help ourselves Michelle, those Canadian women are the best 😉 I know my mum is hoping for the same result 😉
That was stunning!! Nothing beats family does it... wow the difference in you guys leaving snow to aus when your arrive. Sending love from Manchester U.K. x
How amazingly beautiful and wonderful!!! Precious baby, precious reunion
🙏🏻💗❣️💗🙏🏻
I miss Australia so much! I was staying near Newcastle, so I think I used to go on that same train. Beautiful train journey from Sydney
I almost cried when they told Occy goodbye.
Oh my goodness, the Littles. Blessings. #RIPLee
This was so awesome to watch....thank you for sharing! Peace, Love and Happiness from Halifax, Nova Scotia
Your brother's reaction got me!!
Stunning! And Gorgeously Lovely. Regards from India
My first time watching this video. Love it, now I want to take a trip. Thanks for sharing. Made my day.💕
What an absolutely cool clip. I have lived in The US in San Fran and Tennessee and my family are from Mannering Park so, I know that feeling of excitement coming home to see family and transiting from bloody cold to stinking hot. Well done guys, one of the best surprises ever. my wife Di and I are fortunate to travel around with our two chihuahua's Max and Billy and they love the road. What a shame you couldn't bring your puppy. Happy trails guys.
That was great surprise... God bless
Honestly have watched this half a dozen times, absolute fav
There's nothing like a family reunion. Thanks for letting everyone in (notwithstanding the sad aspect). 🐶
There nothing like going home
Yess!
Wow just watched your video my niece lives near your brother how funny I cried all the way through so happy for the family your nephew is adorable ❤️
This is priceless. So much joy! Good wishes to you all.
This is the first video I've seen of them and I instantly liked them both...but then I clicked on the most recent video and read the comments...only to realise...Lee is no more.
I feel sad.
I don't know how else to explain it.
Rest in peace💕
Remembering to be kind to others is the best any of us can do. that is what would make Lee happy n proud
Have a wonderful time Down Under 💜🙏🏼🌟⚡️⭐️✨ love Occy 🐶
Woopwoop2 R. We certainly will! So excited to share Australia’s beauty! (and quirks)
What a Beautiful & Wonderful surprise for your brother Max ,and upon the birth of thier new baby.It was tears of joy from both ends.Awsome .All Blessings to everyone what a Great Holiday Surprise .Amen! 🙏❤🙏😶
Glad y’all had a great visit to Australia!! I was actually born in Melbourne before moving to the USA. It’s hard work getting to places like Australia 🇦🇺 but it pays off in the end!!
Awesome stuff!!!! Thanks for making day better!
OMG that baby's face brought me to tears more than the reunion. How sweet.
Whaaat ??? what a beautiful surprise because they make me cry; goodbye winter and hello summer: Oh God scare me, cry and a huge relief with you. in 15 minutes they have action, drama, mystery, surprises and a lot of love; What a great video and Max with his nephew was the cherry on the cake. I love you very much a hug to the other side of the world
