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!😆
Don’t worry about rude people just do your videos the way that makes you happy. We all love them.
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.
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. ❤

So sweet!!
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’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.
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.
Makes me happy you and Chrome are still friends. ❤i love how Kelly is holding on with her claws
Yes!!!
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.
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❤
👏🤩 Glad you are feeling better!! Lauren is super amazing 🙌 Great to hear your van is getting needed maintenance done 🔧
Hello Kellie, & miss kitty, one cute little cat.
Love her bed on the counter, looks comfy.
Emi and Kelly are one and the same. This is love. End of conversation.
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
And get well soon dear Emi
The tittle is cat lady van hence CAT , I LOVE KITTY!!!
As a certified Cat Person, I am happy to see any feline content. 😊
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! 😊❤
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.
Lots of hugs from me to you and kitty ❤❤
I love your summer road trips i get excited to see what you will be doing
I love watching you and the beautiful Kelly🐱 show more of her. Stay safe and ignore stupid comments.💖
Take back to Wal Mart and get either a refund or exchange. Could be you just got a dud.
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!!!♥♥♥♥♥🧡🧡
Keep filming lovely miss Kelly! We adore her!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ my cat passed away. She was 13. I love watching Kelly, especially playing. Shes super cool, going for walks with you. We adore you both very much! Your videos are awesome!!!!❤😊❤
@TheCatLadyVANv I will try. I tried TELEGRAM yesterday and I couldn't get through! Going to try right now. Thank you
I would return the stove to Walmart, it should definitely last longer than a month or two. Walmart is good for accepting returns.
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.
@@muriel8922it probably won't happen again
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.
I love seeing Miss Kitty ( Kelly's) clips.
Emi, please show your cute kitty more on your videos.
Thankyou .
Lots of ❤❤❤ to you both.
The beach is beautiful. I could hear the whistling of the wind. Sorry your sick. Hope you feel better soon!
Feel better Emi. Yeah , Coleman is a better stove .
I was going to buy a Walmart stove - going to pass and look for the Coleman one. Thank you 😊
So glad you’re getting a new head gasket before your trip! Loren is so great! It’s so cute how kitty snoops around his shop, and then comes faster than a lot of dogs I’ve had, when you tell her it’s time to go. She’s so smart and such a great companion! 🐾🐾💚Jul and family
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!
Oh that beach is so amazing
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. ❤❤❤❤❤
Walmart should take the defective stove back.
Hi Emi, I am so glad your feeling better! May the Lord Bless you, Protect you and Heal you completely, Amen
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.
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 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
Hugs 🤗
Sorry you're under the weather. Pray for a speedy recovery. Glad Loren is taking care of your engine problems. He seems to be the man when it comes to car mechanics.
Keep putting video of Miss Kelly on your channel. She is big part of of the channel too. Made me laugh to see her playing with her tail. How many times as humans do we entertain ourselves by " playing with our tail" (figuratively of course!)😋☺😊 14:37
I love you showing sweet Kelly Kitty! I hope you continue to have amazing adventures even though there can be blue days.
Thank you for letting us see the beautiful scenery with you. I hope you are back on the road soon. Take care ❤😊
Thanks God the cat is ok. Headline made me worry.
You're getting close to 100,000 subscribers! I love seeing you and Kelly; she is an amazing cat! Hugs from the USA.
I'm a cat lady too. I love seeing your kitty. Keep 'em coming!
Hey Em…I got one of those scam emails also. Thanks for the warning…but didn’t know how to respond luckily! Also this comes after seeing your new problems with the vans’ motor…so sorry this has happened to you! Thank God Loren is fixing this for you because he is someone you can trust! I also have a Ford e250 van that I converted into a camper. I just got back after traveling coast to coast here in the US! It was nice to have it as my home on wheels while traveling! Oh…I think that kitty is a special cat…I love it when she starts playing on the front seat! She is a character!
Feel so much better Emi.💜🙏🏻
I m glad you are doing better❤❤❤
Hope you feel better get well .kisses for kitty
Happy for you getting van head gasket fixed. It’s nice to have the use of garage while fixing van.
❤ Miss Kelly and you, look forward to your adventures.
Right on. Ya my coleman has been good. GL with the fixes, lole get you fixed up good!
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.
Sweet Kelly, you are a dynamic duo❤
So glad to see that you have someone trustworthy taking care of you and your van
Glad you’re starting to feel better.
Emi hope you feel better soon . Miss kelly is the cutest 😊
Your cat is such a great traveling companion for you. She has a good temperament also. I hope she is with you for a long time ❤.
Hello Emi and Kelly..glad you're feeling better.
Kelly is so beautiful 😻thank you for sharing her with us, Emilie
That is some wind! Good job with the mic. Can hear u load and clear!
LOVE THAT COAT!
O Emmie hugs hope your well soon! 🫂
Hello Emi and Kelly glad your feeling better.❤
Sending Peace and Healing Energy to You. Hi Miss Kitty love you too ❤❤✌️✌️
Sending healing energy and well wishes . feel better
Love sweet Ms. Kelly-Cat 🐱 putting on a cute show with her fun co-pilot seat antics at the beginning 💞😂😂😂
I know you love water falls and the sea it’s so beautiful love to see it 👍❤
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.
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 TH-cam channel! Many greetings from the Graz surroundings, Styria, Austria 🇦🇹, Christoph and my 4 cats 'Barney, Kira, Sial and Ted' 😊😻👋
Love Emi and Miss Kelly!😻
Glad to see you will have your van fixed and ready to hit the road safely this summer. Good luck with the repairs.
Hi Emi, I’m dealing with allergies and is been going on for over 2 weeks, hope you feel back to yourself soon..😊
Happy your feeling better ❤
I think maybe you need to try getting a air purifier for your van, Westinghouse Portable Air Purifier for Office, Car, RV, Tent | Battery Powered | Up to 65 sf | NCCO Technology | 3-Stage Medical-Grade Filtration | Pet Dander, Dust, Smoke, Odor, Pollen | WH10P
I have one and I used it driving through the smoak also
Do you have a link?
I had on but it took so much electricity I had to stop using it. (Using solar power) If someone has found a good 9 volt/usb I would love to know also.
Good idea to clean before, i clean shopping trolleys before I use them.
Love you Emmie and Kelly. ❤
❤Kelly
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.
We'll Feel Better,Spring is Coming!
I love kitty....keep her in. Big fan from Michigan
happy you are feeling better
Beautiful!
I got over that nasty throat, cough, cold thing and tested negative for covid & flu…it was sinus infection. Hope you feel better Emi! Hugs to sweet Kelly!💖
I love watching you and Miss Kelly. ❤
Thanks for the heads up on the stove. I will look for a Coleman.
Coleman is a great product
Glad you are feeling better
I’m glad you are feeling much better and hopefully 🤞 you can can be fix soon 🔜 ❤❤😊

Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

Not fun even a hang nsil🎉❤😂
Hope you're feeling better soon 🎉

Hope you feel better soon
Hello Emi, I love seeing Kelly, you and and your travels. Feel better.
