As soon as you said you were in Austin I thought "They should meet up with Shelbi and Madison. They have to know Shelbi, they both make videos about sustainability how could they not know each other." Then Shelbi was on my screen, perfect
This was trippy in so many ways for me! Born and raised in Texas, vegan, now Canadian and living in BC, and understanding that culture shock in reverse…following Shelby and Madison for years… loved it! I’m a bit older than the Buccee’s craze, but definitely remember Stuckey’s and other huge truck stops in my day there. The big thicket is much more woodlands like you might love here, but no mountains. In Texas you mostly get one or the other: mountains or trees. There are mountains out west. And yeah, that weather omg! Love from the Prius club!
As a born + raised texan it is hilarious to see the state + all it's quirks from an outside perspective as I've just had to accept it for what it is. What a crazy state, lol.
Totally agree about Texas State Parks, but there are certainly some that are worth visiting: Palo Duro Canyon, Enchanted Rock, and Brazos Bend (alligators!). Also much of the recreation in the parks focuses not on nice hiking but swimming during the summer
As a Texan, I have never once said Howdy to anyone 😂 Being from New Braunfels, to hear you say it was awesome....I don't think anyone pronounces it correctly haha I'm positive Americans mispronounce cities in Canada all the time!! Buccees get SO much busier during spring break and summer. Avoid them all together during that time because it gets so packed. Great restrooms though.
My husband's Buc-ee's story:. When he was a small child, his family traveled through Texas and he remembers stopping at this amazing store that had all the candy he had ever seen in his life. Forty years later, a Buc-ee's opens in Crossville, TN, and he stopped while driving home from a work trip. He walked in and had a Proustian Moment where his childhood memories of _all the candy_ came flooding back.
That "tuque in Texas" line was great, definitely didn't see that coming from a fellow Canadian but guess it is still February. Really glad to see you could connect with some friends, with how long you've been away from home it's moments like that always bring a god amount of joy! Thanks for the insight into Texas, that gas station was really something else, can't imagine one of those back home!!
the self-inflating pads take a while to self-inflate, especially coming out of full compression. during the day, it's important to open the valve and let them air, to avoid moisture buildup. they are meant to be used on their own ish, and you will lose most benefit if they are under the futon. as a side-sleeper myself, i recommend using the mat slightly deflated, which will increase the amount of give or "softness". however the thing i have found most effective for sidesleep is body pillows which are NOT self-camping friendly 😂(i draw the line for impractical self-camp gear at a cast iron!). the pad type you purchased are intended more for self-camping, as opposed to auto-camping. there are thicker (heavier, sometimes cheaper, thinking big agnes or columbia), as well as double-size, pads that may be more comfortable and suitable to your setup. my guess is you will have a better experience without the cotton futon, using the sleeping pads on top of the yoga mats. it's too bad you didn't have the chance to start with a modern authentic futon, but the right sleeping pad will come close.
If you come through Virginia, stop in Richmond. We have lots of hiking in the middle of the city and outside of it, depending on when you come through you could go white water rafting in the middle of the city, farmers markets, good food options, there's even a treehouse you can book in the middle of the park system.
I live in New Braunfels and I’m so bummed I didn’t run into y’all considering I was watching the Super Bowl in the next bar over! Hope y’all enjoyed visiting. Wish you guys would of stayed a little longer, there’s so much to see here.
If u think 7 lanes is big, I hope y’all see the 75 365 interchange in north Dallas. If you do, have gps on and it’ll tell you what lane to be in to go where.
Speaking of good state parks… I’ve got two for ya, not sure how close either are to your route but it’s worth throwing them out there. Kinzua Bridge State Park in north-central Pennsylvania is definitely more of a sight to see than a hike, but it’s a heck of a sight - a rail bridge over a large valley destroyed by a tornado. More likely to be on your route, Watkins Glen State Park in the finger lakes of NY does have a lot of beautiful walking trails along gorgeous waterfalls in a gorge. Ask me to pick between visiting WG and Niagara, and I’ll take WG any time. Hope all goes well!
There is the phrase thats bounced around the states "Everything's bigger in Texas!" I've never been to Texas but so far still seems true. But as an American who has visited a handful of states, oddly yes there is a thing for the gas stations, it could be themed, or massively huge or just have all the awesome necessities, but not all are created equal, definitely ask the locals of that state where the awesome ones are.
AHH! I went to my first Bucky's in Florida not too long ago. Sooo overwhelming for this Minnesota girl! Glad to hear you two are doing well and made it back to the US! ❤️
Buc-cees is so big and so busy because Texas is huge, most people drive to get where they need to go and road trips are long, it takes almost 13 hours to get from one side of the state to the other. It makes sense to have a large gas station along a major highway with clean plentiful restrooms and lots of gas pumps. The snacks and stuff are just extra crap people pick up when they’re on a road trip. But turned up 80%.
Texas is one of my least favourite places in the world, but it's great that you got to meet up with some locals! Make sure you try some BBQ before you leave; that is the only thing I like about Texas. 😂
@@LeahandLevi Well we’re not urban and aren’t trying to be. That’s kinda the damn point, we don’t want to be one of y’all rarified city folk. As much as we’re looked down on by urbanites, believe me the feeling is mutual. And when your cities turn into even more nightmarish hellscapes than they already are….stay there. People continue to ruin their states and cities with moronic political decisions and decide to move here and try to make it the same hellhole they just left. Just leave us and our scary guns alone. God knows you’ll need us eventually to take care of the shit y’all can’t since we’re so backwoods you know.
I was shocked to tears, when I noticed Madison standing next to you in Austin. What a wonderful surprise and enchanting moments to see the only two YouTubing couples that I follow together in one vlog. I also own a Prius (since 2012) and recently left San Antonio to return home after a two and a half stay in San Antonio. The boots and Buc-ees must be experienced to believe it. Thx for sharing your experiences. ❤
OOOMMMGGGG!!! I literally screamed at my husband "I hope they visit Shelbi and Madison" when I saw that you guys crossed into Texas!!!! I really wish I was down south with you guys Ontario finally decided to participate in winter over this past week!!!
It feels like a different dimension when different TH-cam’rs that you follow meet up. I follow shelbizzle and sustainably vegan too. I’m sure that was an interesting conversation
This was so weird for me to watch. I grew up in New Braunfels and after getting married moved to San Antonio you guys were at the REI that is basically right in front of my old neighborhood. We recently left San Antonio to move abroad(like 2 weeks ago) Hope TX treated you guys well.
Growing up in Austin, the side of Barton Springs y’all went on is “tops optional”. As kids, we would go over there and there would be topless sunbathers. Always gave us a good giggle! Not sure if it’s still this way.
Texas resident here! If you are wanting great state parks, there are much better ones in North Texas! Mineral Wells State Park and Meridian State Park come to mind! Check them out along with the local restaurants and such in those areas!
Have you guys been to a Trader Joe's yet?? If you think Buc-ee's is like Disneyland for snacks, just you wait! If you're in the states and not doing a lot of your grocery shopping at TJ's you're missing out, IMHO. I also can't believe you've left Mexico and there was zero paleta content... but I'm glad you're heading back north!
We have a similar setup in the back of our hybrid ford escape, but we put the inflatable mattresses on top of the futon. Even softer for hips/lower backs!
I’m thinking that your futon mattress is what is “hard” so maybe switch it out for a memory mattress type thing, you can get pretty thin ones , or you can put one underneath!!
My family is all from BC but I live here in Texas (Austin). I was actually in New Braunfels at the same time you were, just at my brother in law’s house
Self inflating… you gotta leave it for a while. We have one that is about 10cm thick for car camping and if we leave it for half an hour we only have to add a new pumps from the pump sack. Usually you leave them go inflate and then maybe add one more breath for that type
What an amazing trip you are on, I love following along. When you get back up to Canada are you going to visit the maritimes at all?? I am, admittedly, pretty biased... but you should!! I grew up in New Brunswick and have been living in Halifax, Nova Scotia for 10 years... could give lots of tips for stuff to check out in these parts. :)
Another fantastic video!! It was so awesome to see y’all in Austin, where I grew up! Wow, Barton Springs has totally changed- but still beautiful, just …bigger 😂 Can’t wait to see you switch up to a van next week!! Also, so cool to see you all meet up with Immy & Shelbi!! So fun!! 🎉🎉 Much love from NC! PS. I have those mats you’re sleeping on from REI and they rock. 👍 Hope your sleeping gets better!!
I don't comment on videos but had to - I was visiting family in San Antonio and made a trip out to Gruene/New Braunfels on superbowl Saturday. Absolutely WILD to basically be in a place that size at the same time 🤯 glad y'all (gotta make sure my Texas shows) got to see some of the ridiculous sights of the most self absorbed state in the union 😂 if you haven't left the state yet, the Fort Worth stockyards and Dallas 6th floor museum (JFK assassination) are... unique
Not sure if y’all already made it through, but if going through Louisiana via I-10: north of Lafayette in Arnaudville is NuNus art collective and Bayou Tech Brewing/Cajun Saucer Pizza (both fantastic). If you have time in Lafayette for live music, check out Feed & Seed. Also Pack and Paddle is a great local outdoors shop. Kayak rentals or swamp tours on Lake Martin are great as well. And if it’s Saturday, Moncus Park Farmer’s Market is a nice visit.
Everything is BIGGER in Texas….says this Texan!!😊 We do drive a lot of trucks - not ride a lot of horses! lol You can have all 4 seasons in one week in Texas! 😂
Nice vlog. I enjoyed the large ass boots! Could be a small walk up coffee stop. Also the scene where you all shopped for the foam was sweet. I’m still amazed you made the Prius work as your home!! ❤ stay safe, hydrated, and alert out there ! Lots of love from blistering hot 🥵 FL! Fun fact it’s 89 degrees today.
If you want something actually scenic in Texas, try Palo Duro Canyon. Second biggest canyon in the US. It's in the panhandle area, so not really near where you were in this vid! Also, some of the beaches are fun!
If you’re planning to make your way into NYC, we have the Museum of Sex that Leah might love. There’s also TONS of state parks and protected natural areas upstate, so much so that you could spend a really long time (New York is a huge state). There’s also Long Island, which looks like a dead end, but there’s a bunch of ferries up into New England from the North shore.
Trying to find myself in the background in the Farmer Market Muller in Austin. My family goes there every weekend. You should have done a meet and great. Hi from Austin
What is the street food/food truck scene like in Canada? I’ve noticed you’ve made a few comments since being in Texas and when you were still in Mexico where you’re like “I don’t usually eat from food trucks/street food”
Just wanted to start of by saying that I am enjoying the journey you two have taken me on. It is so much fun to see all the places you have visited so far and how you embrace the cultures. The Super Bowl this year in the US brought on protest from Indigenous tribes because of the dangerous stereotypes mascots create. Kansas city has an Indian as a mascot and this is very problematic. I just feel that you two should have made yourself more aware of this issue before embracing this game and making it a part of your video. This is an interrelated issue with environmental justice I know you two stand for so I thought you would be more aware. But anyway, loving the journey. Continue to be safe and open to learning.
I'm happy that they went to Texas. I will say, if they were impressed by the 7 lanes in San Antonio, they should never go to Houston. But I didnt see if they parked their car in the designated parking lot at the Buc-ee's instead at the pumps. As someone who drives across Texas (from El Paso to Houston) frequently, it really is downer seeing people fill up their vehicles and just leave them at the pump, causing long lines. Makes my trips longer.
Canadians think no beavers in Texas?? Pretty much sums up someone came on a road trip fully loaded. Buc-ee's isn't just big to be big. it is big because it sucks all the business off the interstate for some fair distance. You did notice all the pumps were full right? BTW, the business model probably isn't too far in the future for Canada. Stations now having stale pre-packaged food, expensive gas, and filthy bathrooms will have to adapt quickly.
I was NOT expecting a Shelbizleee, Sustainably Vegan crossover. My little subscriber mind is blown!
I screeched when I saw these powerhouses show up on my screen
absolutely my reaction too 🤩
As soon as you said you were in Austin I thought "They should meet up with Shelbi and Madison. They have to know Shelbi, they both make videos about sustainability how could they not know each other." Then Shelbi was on my screen, perfect
Boom! Haha yeah it was so nice to meet up!
Yes! My brain was like Austin + Sustainability= shelbi 🤣
This was trippy in so many ways for me! Born and raised in Texas, vegan, now Canadian and living in BC, and understanding that culture shock in reverse…following Shelby and Madison for years… loved it!

As a born + raised texan it is hilarious to see the state + all it's quirks from an outside perspective as I've just had to accept it for what it is. What a crazy state, lol.
I cannot begin to tell you how much I needed this lovely mashup of my five favorite content creators. 🥰🥰🥰 so funnnn!!
Awe thank you! It was pretty fun for all of us too 🥰👍🏼
Totally agree about Texas State Parks, but there are certainly some that are worth visiting: Palo Duro Canyon, Enchanted Rock, and Brazos Bend (alligators!). Also much of the recreation in the parks focuses not on nice hiking but swimming during the summer
I love Shelbi and Madison videos. I'm so glad to see you guys collaborate together on this video!!
THE CROSSOVER SHOOK ME. Love Madison and Shelby’s blog channel and Emmie’s channel! So wild to see y’all all together.
Thanks for the love! 🥰
Shelbi, Madison, and Immy are so fun, what a fun video!
It was the best of times 🥰

I've been hoping to see this meet up, as you pass through Texas, for months. Couldn't help mirroring the wide smiles and feeling your joy.
Thank you! It was pretty special 🥰

No way! We loved our time there!
I am so happy to see Shelby and Madison!!!!!! Mind blown!
OMGGGG I screamed when you met up with Shelbi, Madison, and Immy! This is my favorite crossover of TH-cam channels!!!!
How could y'all drive right by San Antonio without going to the riverwalk?? 😭 It's the most visited place in TX
Gotta save stuff for next time! 😉
In Brazil we have something like this gas station, it's called Graal - Like, everyone knows at least one Graal. It's great!
Even other Americans have culture shock in Texas ... it's kind of its own nation.
Careful with that phrasing - don't wanna let it get to their head. That is also bigger in Texas at least online in my experience lol
The ultimate crossover!!! Never would've thought all of my favorite youtubers would be in one vid 🥲
So cool you got to hang out with Shelbizlee she is one of my fav youtubers
Are y'all making your way up to Boston? 😄 A lil meet & greet, maybe?
I’m sooooo excited! My favorite TH-camrs in one video! So glad you guys got to meet up and even visit Shelby and Madison’s new house!

If you’re still in TX you need to go to the Fort Worth stockyards and see the cattle drive! 😊
AHH! I went to my first Bucky's in Florida not too long ago. Sooo overwhelming for this Minnesota girl! Glad to hear you two are doing well and made it back to the US! ❤️
If y’all ever make it to Austin again you should totally do a meet up!

I’m shocked to see all my favorite vloggers in one video! Amazing 😊 love you all.
"It's like Disneyland, for snacks!" Is the perfect explanation for Buc-ee's.
OK, that looked like the best reunion ever. All the sustainability youtubers in one shot. Mind blown.
Awesome to see you hanging with Shelby and Madison. I've been to Barton springs too in the colder months. Def wasn't that crowded!
You need to hit up big bend and palo duro canyon for Texas parks.
February and August are the worst months in Texas for weather! So glad it wasn't worse for you. Can't wait to see where you go next.
How cool you got to meet Shelbi&Madison!😉 and then I saw Immy too!😘
Texas is one of my least favourite places in the world, but it's great that you got to meet up with some locals! Make sure you try some BBQ before you leave; that is the only thing I like about Texas. 😂
Hahaha yeah I have to say from an urban planning perspective this place is an atrocity. The BBQ almost makes up for it haha
Then you obviously don't like freedom

Love seeing y'all together! My fave sustainability vloggers 🥰On my way to the Madlebi vlog!!
I'm glad you all have each other and friends. The texas people in the bar for superbowl seemed cold as ice.
OOOMMMGGGG!!! I literally screamed at my husband "I hope they visit Shelbi and Madison" when I saw that you guys crossed into Texas!!!! I really wish I was down south with you guys Ontario finally decided to participate in winter over this past week!!!
Hahaha so glad you enjoyed it! 😅🥰
@Levi & Leah are you guys going to drive through Ontario at all on your way back? If so, you should totally do a meet-up that would be amazing
It feels like a different dimension when different TH-cam’rs that you follow meet up. I follow shelbizzle and sustainably vegan too. I’m sure that was an interesting conversation
I find Alberta is like the Texas of Canada. Seem this way to y’all?
💯 it’s soooooo sinilar
I loved this so much more than I was expecting!
Thank you for that! 🥰
This was so weird for me to watch. I grew up in New Braunfels and after getting married moved to San Antonio you guys were at the REI that is basically right in front of my old neighborhood. We recently left San Antonio to move abroad(like 2 weeks ago) Hope TX treated you guys well.

You Two..looks COLD 🥶🥶❄❄...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Texas resident here! If you are wanting great state parks, there are much better ones in North Texas! Mineral Wells State Park and Meridian State Park come to mind! Check them out along with the local restaurants and such in those areas!
So excited that u guys are friends with the people one followers. A big small world…
Have you guys been to a Trader Joe's yet?? If you think Buc-ee's is like Disneyland for snacks, just you wait! If you're in the states and not doing a lot of your grocery shopping at TJ's you're missing out, IMHO. I also can't believe you've left Mexico and there was zero paleta content... but I'm glad you're heading back north!
TJ’s is wild too! Haha we have been to one but didn’t document. Maybe next time!
Y’all need to check out Asheville NC!
Leah your black overalls are so cute! Where did you get them? 🥰
OMG!! Shelby, Madison and Immy along with Levi and Leah?!?!? Best crossover ever!!
You were right by Rebel Cheese!! It's a 100% vegan deli with everything made in house. You gotta try it before ya'll leave!
We have a similar setup in the back of our hybrid ford escape, but we put the inflatable mattresses on top of the futon. Even softer for hips/lower backs!
Yea! You went to Buccees! This is Chris and Mike from Isla Aguada
Hey you two! Haha it was a must after so many recommendations 😅
@@LeahandLevi glad you went! We’re gonna see Paula, Pierrick etc and Loic next week We had dinner with Loic and his wife last week Good memories!
Did y’all take a picture next to a rando’s truck for the thumbnail 😂😂
Haha yes very quickly so he wouldn’t see us 👀
The crazy thing is that buccees is one of the smaller ones. Go to Katy or Baytown they are much bigger. And you gotta try the brisket
The Buccees in New Braunfels holds the world record for largest convenience store & that’s the one they went to.
yes yes yes major yes for this crossover of a lifetime so cute at a fricken farmers market are you for real
I'm so happy to see that you met up with my other sustainability TH-camrs!
I’m thinking that your futon mattress is what is “hard” so maybe switch it out for a memory mattress type thing, you can get pretty thin ones , or you can put one underneath!!
My family is all from BC but I live here in Texas (Austin). I was actually in New Braunfels at the same time you were, just at my brother in law’s house
AND I was also at the Mueller farmers market (which is 5 minutes from my house) that Sunday 😂
Self inflating… you gotta leave it for a while. We have one that is about 10cm thick for car camping and if we leave it for half an hour we only have to add a new pumps from the pump sack. Usually you leave them go inflate and then maybe add one more breath for that type
Most self inflating camping mattresses you need to open the valve and leave it for around an hour.
Learn something new everyday I guess? 🤷🏻♂️😅
What an amazing trip you are on, I love following along. When you get back up to Canada are you going to visit the maritimes at all?? I am, admittedly, pretty biased... but you should!! I grew up in New Brunswick and have been living in Halifax, Nova Scotia for 10 years... could give lots of tips for stuff to check out in these parts. :)
This is funny to watch from Texas. All of this is normal for me.
Kara and Nate did a whole "24 hours at Buccee's" video, which you might find as hilarious as I did!
Yaaas the collab we all needed ❤
Stuff to do. Be careful and keep driving
Another fantastic video!! It was so awesome to see y’all in Austin, where I grew up! Wow, Barton Springs has totally changed- but still beautiful, just …bigger 😂 Can’t wait to see you switch up to a van next week!! Also, so cool to see you all meet up with Immy & Shelbi!! So fun!! 🎉🎉 Much love from NC! PS. I have those mats you’re sleeping on from REI and they rock. 👍 Hope your sleeping gets better!!
I don't comment on videos but had to - I was visiting family in San Antonio and made a trip out to Gruene/New Braunfels on superbowl Saturday. Absolutely WILD to basically be in a place that size at the same time 🤯 glad y'all (gotta make sure my Texas shows) got to see some of the ridiculous sights of the most self absorbed state in the union 😂 if you haven't left the state yet, the Fort Worth stockyards and Dallas 6th floor museum (JFK assassination) are... unique
Buc Ees is the best. It’s truly an adventure.
I loved your video, it was so cool seeing all those fun things of Texas.
ughhhh I wish Immy would bring all of you to Denver. I would drive down there in a HEART BEAT.
I wish @sustainably_vegan would too 👀
Not sure if y’all already made it through, but if going through Louisiana via I-10: north of Lafayette in Arnaudville is NuNus art collective and Bayou Tech Brewing/Cajun Saucer Pizza (both fantastic). If you have time in Lafayette for live music, check out Feed & Seed. Also Pack and Paddle is a great local outdoors shop. Kayak rentals or swamp tours on Lake Martin are great as well. And if it’s Saturday, Moncus Park Farmer’s Market is a nice visit.
We’re adding these to our list! Thanks for the suggestions!
Not only Big Bend, but you have to checkout Guadulupe Mountains NP!
Everything is BIGGER in Texas….says this Texan!!😊
We do drive a lot of trucks - not ride a lot of horses! lol
You can have all 4 seasons in one week in Texas! 😂
Nice vlog. I enjoyed the large ass boots! Could be a small walk up coffee stop. Also the scene where you all shopped for the foam was sweet.

If you want something actually scenic in Texas, try Palo Duro Canyon. Second biggest canyon in the US. It's in the panhandle area, so not really near where you were in this vid! Also, some of the beaches are fun!
Mattres has to go on top! Otherwhys u will not feel a lot i am telling you! Camper regards from switzerland.
Hopefully you are headed to big bend and palo duro canyon.
The crossover I’ve always wanted!!

Hi from Austin
Hello! Thanks for the comment, maybe next time if we make it back down 🙏🏻
That’s the best part of global nomadism is hanging with friends in different parts of world 🎉it makes life so sweet
Absolutely! 🥰👍🏼
What is the street food/food truck scene like in Canada? I’ve noticed you’ve made a few comments since being in Texas and when you were still in Mexico where you’re like “I don’t usually eat from food trucks/street food”
Just wanted to start of by saying that I am enjoying the journey you two have taken me on. It is so much fun to see all the places you have visited so far and how you embrace the cultures.
The Super Bowl this year in the US brought on protest from Indigenous tribes because of the dangerous stereotypes mascots create. Kansas city has an Indian as a mascot and this is very problematic. I just feel that you two should have made yourself more aware of this issue before embracing this game and making it a part of your video. This is an interrelated issue with environmental justice I know you two stand for so I thought you would be more aware. But anyway, loving the journey. Continue to be safe and open to learning.
Wow, three channels in one. I'm here for it. It’s a small world.😁
LOL self inflating if you read the instructions- the first inflate you always have to blow it up :)

Levi/Leah, Shelby/madison/ Immy crossover my sustainability influencer fan mind is blown 🤯😊
Lol I know those gigantic boots anywhere!! Welcome to San Antonio! 😂❤
Buccees is mind blowing 😊!
Fantastic watch as always 🙏🏿
I love all of these people!!
I'm happy that they went to Texas.
I will say, if they were impressed by the 7 lanes in San Antonio, they should never go to Houston.
But I didnt see if they parked their car in the designated parking lot at the Buc-ee's instead at the pumps. As someone who drives across Texas (from El Paso to Houston) frequently, it really is downer seeing people fill up their vehicles and just leave them at the pump, causing long lines.
Makes my trips longer.
Canadians think no beavers in Texas?? Pretty much sums up someone came on a road trip fully loaded. Buc-ee's isn't just big to be big. it is big because it sucks all the business off the interstate for some fair distance. You did notice all the pumps were full right? BTW, the business model probably isn't too far in the future for Canada. Stations now having stale pre-packaged food, expensive gas, and filthy bathrooms will have to adapt quickly.
All my favorite people in one video 🎉🎉😊
