    I’m rewatching all these videos Bc I miss Lee sooooo much 🥺 I still can’t believe she took her own life. She was such a joy to watch with her raw emotions and courage to overcome and prevails despite tons of obstacles that would bring most of us down for the count. Rip LEE ❤️

      I am doing the same. May peace be upon her. I only learned the terrible news this morning.

    • @kjbennie9245
      @kjbennie9245 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Mee too. After watching it again, I can now see Suttle signs.... I mean she wud question Max why he's smiling while she was talking.... which I thought was strange but if ur a bit high strung and a bit paranoid, that's the kind of behavior to look out for.

      I am doing the same as well. I begin to see subtle tension. All the changes required in going from country to country, to have to trust the van would be all right , the new customs, and the varied spiritual oppression which can be quite difficult itself. The van is an extension of yourself and it would be so difficult to send it off.
      So difficult to know that Lee is no longer with us. Such a lovely soul, you are missed by so many.

    I really appreciate you guys showing exactly what you have to go through to travel with a dog across a boarder and ship the van. It's a side of van life (I suppose the reality) that many van life channels don't show. So thank you! I'm just starting my journey to learn more about this lifestyle, so your videos are incredibly helpful!

    Blummin' 'eck! You don't half go through it, it's tempting to think someone has put a curse on, but if they have, they've picked the wrong couple, you two just get on with getting on with it! And that will make your bond even stronger. Occy just takes it all in his stride, doesn't he. Hope things are smoother sailing now, looking forward to seeing you enjoying happier times.

    • @MaxLeeandOccy

    @rixanneh18 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Lee I honestly don't know how you held it together as long as you did before feeling like the world was caving in. I couldn't believe what I was seeing as the van said nope! one more time, and then again! Cutting out the fan? ahhhh it was almost too much for me but as a fellow van builder I sure felt it. Love watching you guys on your journey and keeping it real. Almost 200k subs! 100k seems like just yesterday ;) Great video!

    • @MaxLeeandOccy

    All I can say is WOW! So many close calls but y'all kept the faith.
    Determination, good communication and love is what I see in you both. I loved Occy when he rolled his back in the grass. That's a great stress reliever for dogs. LOL. The hostile you are at looks nice. As long as it has air conditioning, a shower and a clean bed. I just adore you two um, three. 😁
    Eat well, relax. Know that this 60 year old Missouri woman who's pretty much confined to her bed due to a spinal disorder prays for you for safety, peace and a great life. TOGETHER!!!

    I haven't had time for TH-cam lately but as soon as I got some yours is the first channel I watch! I love how resilient you two are ama how you support each other and how Occy picks up in your feelings and tries to comfort you with doggy kisses. I think your experiences show that if you were doing it all in your own it would be very hard, at least that's what I think. I love how you show the bad and the average with the good. I've certainly really really enjoyed your Mexican and Central American series so I'm sure your South American adventures will be incredible to. Love and blessing to you both and Occy too 💖

    Wow! You guys sure are handling things well. Just waiting for my house to sell, then I'll be on the road out west from Ottawa. Not anywhere as exciting as your van life, but so looking forward to getting on the road. Good luck with everything, and can't wait for the next video from Columbia!
    You guys seriously rock!
    Big hugs to you both, and of course big hugs and smooches to Occy! 😘

    Great video. Would you share some details on how you sent Occy? What his travel time and situation was like? I'm curious because I have two small dogs and would love to know for the future when/if I ever get to that location.
    When you all three are back together - the best part in this video 18:09

    • @MaxLeeandOccy
      @MaxLeeandOccy  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Tony! Sorry I don't know how we missed this comment earlier. Occy actually ended up flying on the plane with us. We heard some horror stories about dogs flying in cargo in this part of the world as because it is so hot they struggle to regulate the temperature for them. This made us extremely anxious about putting him 'below'. I (Max) talked to the local veterinarian about it and he advised me to go to a doctor and get a certificate allowing him to fly with us in the main cabin. After hearing my concerns the doctor was happy to certify it and after that the process was relatively straight forward. You just notify the airline in advance you have a dog flying with you and ensure you have the correct exportation documents, health certificate & evidence of vaccinations. The airline was very accommodating and seeing Occy in the airport put a smile on everyones faces! Occy loved the flight and slept for most of it : )

      Thank you for your reply, it was really well received. And, may I kindly say, I'd love to see Occy and his perspective more as you have done on previous videos. Keep up the good work Max, I think you're very talented and look forward to see your new videos.
