Hi, my name is Emi. I'm born in raise in small town just outside Quebec City, this is where my lovely accent comes 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 would 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 consider this the lowest 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 have been living full-time in my self convert van.
I just found out that my 2nd oldest grandson was in a terrible car accident. Neck, back, ribs and lung injuries. Pray for Hunter Clouse. Please.
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤
Is he okay now....
Hope all is well by now. God bless
Praying 🙏 he is recovering well ❤️🩹❤️🩹
❤ sending prayers 🙏🏼 ❤️
The rain sounds so peaceful. Sorry to hear Kelly is still feeling poorly. I hope the vet can find the problem. Still wondering about parasites from the mice. And I hope the high top guys can find and fix your leaks.
This is for Kelly. It would be very wise to get a full blood panel done, it will give you a good idea of Kelly's health ESPECIALLY her kidney status and can catch CKD (Cronic Kidney Disease). CKD is very, very, common among cats, especially as they get older. The blood test will reveal if the kidney is getting weak and will give you a early heads up and what you can do.
When kitty was up on the dashboard admiring all the trees and beauty outside she looked like she was living her best life , I loved it, she’s so adorable. My kitty loves watching the leaves falling and all the beauty outside the window also 🐱. I hope kitty is ok, they can be so delicate as far as health.
Take care
I hope Kelly feels better soon.
Kelly has seriously morphed into a dat or a cog (cross between a cat and a dog). She is absolutely adorable. Fantastic lunch idea. I believe I'm going to copy you. I sure hope you get that high top figured out this time.....and that it's a permanent fix.
Get well soon Kelly cat
The waterfall is beautiful, Emi you are so lucky to get to see such beautiful sites that you camp in. Have a wonderful day 😊
Super enjoyable blog my friend. Living in such a troubled world is so good to see you being so genuine. You always have been. And I for one being an older woman alone. Appreciate that 🙂
I agree with "snow already." I am living in Wichita Falls, Texas, just 12 miles south of the Oklahoma line. We have had so many days of 100○ + temps. The worst day we reached was 113○.
I have never had a day like that and I am 68 yrs old. My van box truck is almost finished and I look forward to having cold weather while I snuggle down in my down filled comforters. Good video today and thanks for helping me feel less afraid of nomad living.
If you came a little up to Oklahoma (Tulsa) there was a snowstorm that you could’ve enjoyed lol, not so fun !
Awww Emi, that was so good of you to slip-slide down that muddy hill, so we could enjoy that lovely waterfall. Hope Kelly is OK.❤
Miss Kelly needs a faux lambs wool bed on your dashboard to cuddle up in while your driving. Another CZcamsr has one for his cat, she loves it...helps keep them warmer in winter months and more comfortable than a hard surface to lay on. Just a suggestion of course. ❄️! 😩 Rain is soothing to chill out and relax. But snow means 🥶. Happy trails to you n Miss Kelly.
Your spring rolls look yummie. Hope Miss Kelly feels better soon! Hugs to kitty!
My Sister and Brother in law are on Vancouver Island visiting my Brother and family. We are from UK.
Good food.
Good cat.
Good life.
What a lovely waterfall and the sounds were so soothing. I am sending Kelly positive healing energy. I hope she will be ok. Sorry about your top leaking again. I hope they can find the problem when you go back to get it looked at.
Safe travels to you both! 🧡
I love Kelly’s “holy sh*t” face hanging onto the passenger seat when you are driving. Cracks me up! 😂
I had a cat growing up that had seizures. We never learned what they were from but he lived a normal life otherwise. He lived a long life. Tough little thing. He use to sleep at the top of the stairs and had a seizure once and fell down 13 steps…thought he would have been a goner…but he came out of it fine. Much love to you guys ❤
Prayers to Miss Kitty's full recovery. Her personality really showed in this video. Stay safe love your channel.
Emily. WHHHAATTT!! Snow Already,, I’m sorry Kitty’s not feeling well. I know when my Zachary is ill i don’t know what to do, it’s an awful feeling,, we’re sending our prayers to her and you too.❤❤❤I don’t want you in any danger but Emi it’s beautiful scenery Thank You,, Travel Safely. Love coming to you from us in NYC…
Lunch looks yummy. The first sighting of snow is always special. I enjoy the seasons. Hope the leak gets fixed before the snow becomes heavy. Have a cozy day.
Wishing all the best for Kelly and hope she is all better very soon🙏
Love waterfalls. Love water. Good job getting us down there with you.
What's happening in BC? Snow and sleet when we are getting 20 degrees Celsius in Cornwall ON,. Now I can stop being envious of your usually beautiful weather. Stay warm, winter is on it's way for all of Canada.
Get well soon, Miss Kitty.
Your kitty is soooo cute. I said a prayer for her to feel better.❤
You can use 'Peelable Caulk' on the seam until you get in to have it repaired. That will relieve stress for you.
Hello Emi. Beautiful music by Cody Francis. The words from his song, "Old Pen" are close to the heart. Hugs for You, and Kisses for Kelly Cat.
I wish I was out there too Emi.I would love that scenery in the rainy snowy season
I love first few months of snow..last few months always ready for spring.. lovely up there 💘
Loved that waterfall so pretty and the spring rolls look so good thanks for sharing emi.
Frozen rain. Can I have a spring roll please?
While you were checking on the water from the leak, Kelly was behind you on the counter by your purse. She put her right arm down through the handles as if to pick it up like you do. SO DAMN CUTE! 😍
Beautiful waterfall. The sound of the rain is so soothing. I hope that you can get your leak fixed. Your lunch looked delicious. I hope that Kelly is feeling better and that the vet can find out what is wrong and get it fixed.
Enjoy video as always and prayers for kitty 😺 resolution with icky. Crazy weather patterns 🌧 🌦 🌂I love waterfall my favorite things..
Yahoo! Emi
Enjoying your selection of music, and today's venture "A Day In The Rain"
Love your cooking...
I'm crossing my fingers that the leak will be an easy fix. Where it won't put you away from your home/van to long. Incuring more overall cost.
You have put so much time/finances in your home/van.
You have so much talent in videography, music choices for your publications.
Love rain and snow... I am a hibernator :)
I'm sorry to hear your fur baby is still poorly. Hopefully, the vet visit wiil sort it? 😊🏴
NO idea how I stumbled across your channel. But your cat came up and I love that bunny. And now I enjoy your channel thank you for sharing.
Prayers for miss kittie ❤
Please be careful with Kelly catching mice and things from outdoors. Its so easy to pick up something that will make her sick. Take care and safe travels.
Hanna virus deadly
Yes, I agree. I came back to finish this video 2 mos later. And after another mouse incident, she ended up sick again.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence. @thecatladyvan
I just thought of something else…dangerous….Wild mushrooms! Some are deadly to cats and humans.
It is wise to wash kitty feets after being outdoors and you’re unsure what she may have stepped on.
And further, I don’t know if poison ivy or poison oak is bad in cats or not?
@thecatladyvan
Why would this be any different than any other cat catching a mouse?
I almost lost my dog, a rat terrier, years ago because she caught a mouse that had been poisoned by the janitor of the church across the street. We did not know about the mouse until my dog had a seizure and we rushed her to the vet. The vet suspected poisoning and gave her something to make her vomit. Up comes a baby mouse that had barely started to be digested. My dog survived but had seizures for about. 4 years after the poisoning. I have 4 cats and do not let the exterminator put any poison for mice around.
I hope you’re well, dear. You two have a lot on your plate right now. Take care. ❤️
Nice! I love rain in my RV. Love that steam and waterfall.
Kelly says I have the best window view in the world, hope she's feeling better soon ❤❤❤
Thank you for showing us that waterfall so peaceful
I pray Ms. kitty is okay. ❤
Get better, miss kitty. Also, get those guys who fixed the leak to take another look and see what they missed. ❤
I have geriatric cats (18 yrs old), they do tend to get sick more often. I hope Kelly is feeling better soon. ❤️🐾
What a beautiful day
Thank you for this. You did a great job filming in that crappy, muddy weather. We really hope your leak is fixed very soon and that Kelly will be back in fine form. Hang in there. We all want you to have your best life.❤
Please take care of you and kitty
Love the sound of the rain and yeah I hope your kitties gonna be OK. Poor little sweetie. Stay safe out there girl…😊🧡🍂🍁🏔️🚐

So relaxing listening to the rain or snow falling. Hope everything is okay with miss Kitty 😊😊
Awww sweet cat . Emi you are so brave driving up country .eow it’s so beautiful the little waterfall
Stay safe
I love the changing seasons. Fall is my fav and summer my least fav. Can't handle the heat. Have a good day and enjoy the weather.
Wow that must have been so cold. Thanks for sharing the waterfall!
Sending love and positive thoughts for Kelly.
I have and had the leaky roof also. I used flex caulk. It seems to work off and on.
Snow? Already?! Wow! Kelly appears to hang upside down on the front seat...lol Slippery slope to the beautiful waterfall. Stay dry and warm. 🕊
Hi kitty is so cute laying on the dashboard. I hope she gets better soon.
Holy cow! I remember when you had like 900 subscribers. That’s when I subscribed. Congratulations!
I love lazy rainy days! Enjoy! Love to you and Kitty!
Wow!!!!! So beautiful!!! thank you for sharing.
Hope you’re able to find the leak and resolve that issue. Be save out there and I enjoy your adventures.
I feel the same way about rain, love it! Being here in Phoenix, we get very little. I can see why leaks and rust are big concerns for your home. Hope the repair guys can pinpoint where the leaks are coming from and are able to fix them.
I miss going to Arizona
Love the music to this video! Can you please share? ❤❤❤
In Scotland when it’s snow and rain at the same time we call that sleet take care stay safe hope kitty is ok xx
Relaxing video with the rain and light snow. Could tell that kitty was prepared to just chill as well. Hope all goes well for her at the vet appointment and that she’ll be tip top again soon. 🙏💕
Take care, stay safe and enjoy van life. 😊
Emi, did i tell you im loving your vlog music selection in your vlogs.
Loved the view of the waterfall and river. Thank you.
My favourite never a dull moment with you and kitty .❤keep up the goodjob
Love ❤️ the rain 🌧 without the rain nothing would be beautiful 😍😍😍
Can you show us your heater and what you use? Stay warm and be safe.
I'll be the first to comment today 🙂
Hello lady .. glad to receive your notification.
Much love❤️
Beautiful takes of the snowy ❄️ trees🌲& your hidden waterfall. I love the forest there were you were. I do hope you remember to always lock your doors sense you are a pretty lady 😊. Stay cozy warm &hope kitties 😸 vet visit goes well.😊
Emi, you’re so cool and peaceful … everyone should follow you who enjoys the slower, more comforting style of a CZcams video. You have so much to offer in an easy, laid back way. With kitty being outside for a while recently, possible she ate something that wasn’t the best for her. I’m sure she’s going to be just fine! ❤
The snow in the trees was so pretty. That waterfall was so nice and peaceful. I hope the Vet can help Miss Kelly feel better real soon. Please keep your snow, I don’t want it here in Ontario. LOL. Be safe on the roads
Hope that kitty starts to feel better. Stay safe❤
Very wet day for you today, I loved your meal it looked so good. Keep warm and cosy in the cold weather 😊
Good day Emi , nice water fall you find the best spots, hugs to Kelly hope the vet can figure things out.
I love the sound of rain. Its relaxing. Love the music you have in the back ground. I pray all goes well with Kelly. I pray she feels better. She so adorable. Your meal looked yummy. God bless you both and Much love for both of you!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Always enjoy seeing you & miss kitty. You two take care.
Love the videos. They cheer me up. Stay safe. ❤
Aw, love to Kelly, hope she feels better soon. She looks fine so hopefully she will be better soon. Love the music in this video.
I love the peaceful everyday life on the woods videos!!!! Your lifestyle is soothing. God bless!
❤🎉 hello from British Columbia Canada
