Wow! Over 700 comments in 4 hours! We are absolutely loving reading and learning how globally diverse this wonderful community is. You guys are the best, keep ‘em coming🙏🏼✨💛
I just discovered you guys. I live in Orlando, Florida, USA. Come see us.
Welcome to our channel Kay 🤗💛 We would love to visit Florida one day!
Hi from the island Trinidad and Tobago
We have been watching watching and following your adventures and living vicariously through you for quite a while now. We are jelous that Occy is so well behaved and he can travel with you (most of the time) while our dogs just have to hear themselves bark constantly! LOL Keep up the awesome videos. Scott and Janet, Waymart, Pennsylvania, USA
Recently found you guys and loving watching your adventures. Canberran living in North Carolina! :-)
I'm watching in June 2024. I can't help but feel so sad Lee has gone. She would fit in so well with us, Aussies. I moved to Melbourne almost two years ago from Sydney to be closer to family.
CZcams suggested this vlog to me - I've already seen it. Brings back good memories and makes me a bit sad.
I am not sure if I can watch these videos, knowing that Lee has passed. This channel was only recently was recommended to me. I've been subbed to Max's channel for the past year.
I think for the rest of our days, we will always miss Lee. What a beautiful girl. Seeing her in videos that pop up always gets to me. ❤️
Thinking of you today Max. Praying for healing for your grieving heart.
Max - I have thought of you so much since hearing of Lee’s death. I am sure you were really affected terribly by the news and I wanted you to know I am so sorry and you are in my prayers.
Just watching old videos with Lee and crying. I keep seeing all this love pour out in the comments to Lee. If only she could have seen it and believed how much she was loved. How amazing would it be when we know someone is getting bullied that we just send them love? So that they can see the love. And the bystanders don't have to just read about the love when they are gone. I feel so much pain for someone I never met. Please if we know someone is being bullied let's rally around them and send them so much love.
I agree. And now Max is being bullied by those blaming him for Lee's death. Absolutely despicable. They are no better than the Dave 2 D cult.
@@roamthewayhome that hurts my heart to hear Max is being bullied. He is grieving that is last thing he needs.
@@themoonadventures2662 I agree. It is disgusting.
@TheMoonAdventures,I agree. I never met her either but I'm still grieving and upset,truly loved her. Sending love to all
I agree... I feel very affected by her death. I never met her but I've been thinking about her for weeks. I guess because I have a daughter ...I don't know... I'm sad. I feel so bad for her family and friends.
Everyone should watch this video to see her at her happiest. This might be her best video. Even if they had to break up she might have been better off living in Melbourne because the people/locations seemed to match her personality. April 2021
I am watching these videos with a broken heart. To Lee's family and to you Max and Occy, I send my condolences and love. Lee looked so happy in this video and the last couple and am so heartbroken to hear of her passing.
I am watching this in 2023,,,she was so beautiful and such an amazing woman, and I didnt even know her personally. So sad such a beauty gone too soon. 😭😭
Just came across this, so upsetting Lee not here anymore, just so sad , how people suffer to take their own lives, rest in peace beautiful Lee❤️🌸🇨🇦
Sorry for your loss Max. I hope you can process this tragic event and keep moving forward with your life. Stay positive and keep the faith. Big hug for Occy.
Max did not deserve her,, he is in love w himself,,
@@darleneseibel1641 You are as bad those who bulled her to her death. couples break up. Haven't you ever had a breakup? What if people blamed you.
@@darleneseibel1641 what's so wrong with being in love with yourself? Maybe you should try it, it's feels good.
@@darleneseibel1641 Why would you not be nice considering how Lee was bullied. Why be nasty to Max?
@@darleneseibel1641 Don't be a hateful, trashy troll. Find a hobby. Surely you have some sort of skill that can occupy your time so you do not feel the need to lash out and project your insecurities on others.
Beautiful Max, Lee, and Occy inside and out. I kept following you both on your life's journey as separate U tubers. I feel very extremely sad to hear of Lees passing she will be greatly and truly missed. xoxo
the old fan couple is so wholesome omg
Thank you for reposting Max🥰❤️ we will miss Lee so much also.🙏🏼 I pray that you are being strong Max🙏🏼💯
Miss you here on Earth, Lee. Thanks for sharing yourself with us.
Hi kids, I'm a 68 year old bloke living in the Pilbarra Western Australia and I get so jelly watching your
vids so now I travel vicariously with you on your adventures. Take care of one another.
Gosh, it's so hard to believe that such a beautiful soul is no longer with us. My thoughts and prayers are with you !
U.K. 🇬🇧 love your content! I suffer with depression sometimes and just watching your videos makes me feel like I’m there and it inspires me to get out of bed and keep going. Thank you! ❤️
Hannah we cannot tell you how much it warms our hearts to hear this. To get this reaction from you is reason alone for us to keep going!
hey mate good for you to keep going..... anytime you need someone to talk to reach out to me here in Perth in Western Australia. Happy to chat and keep you going. Im on Facebook too
Steven Powell hey thanks for your message :) always glad of the support! Feel free to find me on Facebook :D

@@MaxLeeandOccy looks like you forgot about her when you decided to quit. fake people.
Helllo Max, I'm Tracey from San Diego, California USA 👋🏾 It's June 2024 and this just came up in my CZcams feed! So glad to get to see this throwback video. I started following you in the last 2 or so years, so I didn't experience this part of your life Max. I did get to catch the last part of you and Occy's vanlife and the posts you shared remembering and honoring Lee. Loved seeing a "younger" Occy doing some of his same moves in Canada😊 Loved getting to know this part of your life as I follow your current life and "adventures" on your beautiful but challenging land and home ❤ Glad to see how much you've benefitted from counseling and healing that time brings. Excited to continue following currently as you share what's happening in your life. Used your videos as an escape while finishing my last 2 years studying for my Bachelors degree. I just graduated, and I feel so free to do everything I had to put on the backburner while focused on school 🤗🤗 I'm 63 and looking forward to the next phase of my life as I prepare to retire in the next few years and hopefully follow my dream to live in a tiny house on property shared with my youngest daughter and her family 🥰🥰 Meanwhile, I get the joy and freedom to continue following you, Occy, and the unseen, but very welcome person in your life! 👏🏾👏🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
I was born and raised in Melbourne. Loved everything about Melbourne. The culture, the food, the people and the serenity 😊 awesome place to be
Super small town of Elba, Alabama
United States
I work behind a desk all day and your videos help me continue to dream. Thanks you two!
Always praying for safe travels.
Amanda McGough- Let us hit the road you & me...lol!
Beautiful tribute to her and love and light to you for bringing so much beautiful light and love into her life. Repose sting because I can't find my other post💜.
BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO HER

Watching this video again, I guess it's been a little over a month now since Lee died. I don't know what stage of grief I'm at, but I feel like I finally have a bit of strength to be able to watch videos of her again. Until now, it's just been too painful. Holding a place in my heart and in my meditations for you, Max, and also for Lee, just in case she can hear/feel me. xoxo
🤍🤍🤍
I just don't GET it Max, i am so sorry for your loss mate. You've been such an inspiration, helping us learn through your caring soul. Peace friend
Watching this 5 years later….❤❤❤ so sad for you Max!
I'm a Canadian who also met my aussie better half in Melbourne over 23.5 yrs ago. So needless to say, Melbourne holds a special place in both our hearts.
Amazing!!! Aren't Aussies the best? 😉
Born and raised in Zwitserland, Europe, have lived in the Netherlands and Sweden and have been a digital nomad in Europe for almost five years now.
G’day, I’m from Adelaide South Aus. My wife and I have been married over 50 yrs and in that time have camped all over Aus. Cape York to Cape Leeuwin; the Kimberley to Tasmania. We still run a small business so are limited to occasional weekends away. We have a 2006 Sprinter, 4x4 ex ambulance that doubles as a business delivery van and a camper. We do most of our big trips now vicariously through CZcams channels like yours. Thanks for being such generous hosts and adventurous tour guides.
This was suggested to me today in June 2024. Lee was just so lovely...she is missed so much.
I'm from South Wales, United Kingdom. Love your videos. I am severely sight impaired blind and your videos let me experience all the places I wish I could experience again. x
Just found y'all this week. We quit our jobs, sold everything and moved to Mexico! We are in San Miguel de Allende...look us up when you come through! Watch lots of vlogs but y'all are our faves. Spread the happiness
Melbourne is beautiful.i am living in for past 13 years weather is beautiful ,city of gardens
From Missouri, USA. When you said Melbourne was known for 4 seasons in 1 day I was thinking the same thats what happens here all the time!! Love watching your adventures!
Mischa here from the southern part of The Netherlands, between the hills and castles. 😊. I always come to your channel to suck up the positive energy, since I had to take a short break from traveling to become a proud dad of 2. (Yes, my wife and I share this account) Thank you so much for simply being you. Know that your videos bring back lots of memories and inspire us to make new ones with our family. Much warmth and positive vibes from us all sharing this beautiful planet.
Hey Max and Lee, i am from France and I am a medical student so I study hard and watching your videos during my free time is just a wonderful moment and I can travel without leaving my room 😊thanks for that and come to Europe !! I want to meet you and Occy 💫
Same here,From India👍💐💐
Awwww
I was born in Ecuador but grew up in the USA, stared watching your travels in Ecuador and really enjoy your videos now 💖 Thank you for sharing
As a Melbournite myself, love this way of showing off the city I have lived in all my life. It’s an awesome way to show it off to the world as the previously most liveable city in the world (currently second).
I live in a small town near Casablanca, MOROCCO.
I love your travels and the insights you keep providing;
thanks guys.
Hi--Karin from Indiana, April 2021. I love your channel and am so very sorry...may Lee be without pain and enjoying the heavens.
🙏🏻💗❣️💗🙏🏻
Watching this in 2024 is just so ... heartbreaking on so many levels 💔
Not sure why this popped up now but agree.
I'm from Kentucky, USA. Can't seem to get enough of this positive channel. This vlog really makes me look forward to the summer here, because right now it's incredibly cold!
Currently in Arizona, USA. We are fulltime #vanlife since November 2018.
I love the little clips of occy
A lot of admiration for you guys, your vibe is awesome, the work you’re putting in your videos is amazing, loved every second of them so far.
I really appreciate your personality and your principles and how gently you’re talking about everything, so open minded and inspiring.
Keep up spreading this way of being happy. You are great.
I’m following you all the way from Romania, Europe
Awww thank you!
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada... watching every video since the beginning. Beautiful souls and biddies who clearly take care of themselves and others.
Aww thank you so much for all the support Jane and from being with us from the start : )
Kia Ora Max and Lee from New Zealand! Thank you both as you inspire me to live life, stay positive, and eat healthier. Cheers
I'm from Scotland, I live at the very north on a small group of islands called Shetland!

I’m from Saint John, New Brunswick in Canada!! I love love love your videos... they make me so happy and make me feel like I’m at home while watching. I love you guys!! Travel safely ❤️
Great to see some of the spots I hit when i'm in town. Chapel St, run the tan, St Kilda. I visit the bayside area (Brighton, Black Rock) a lot too since that's where I grew up - I'm from Melbourne, my wife is American, we live near Boulder, CO but eventually will spend at least 6 months a yr in Aus.
Hello from east coast USA! Love your channel from day one. Thanks for taking us along and so glad you're keeping us up to date on Occy life in Canada. Your visit to Australia is my only view of sunshine during our cold snowy gray winter days.
Aww love hearing this! Thanks for being an OG!
it is nice to see your guys story. Glad to see you enjoying your time.
Hi lovely Max and Lee, I'm Andrea, 55 from Liverpool in the UK and planning my own van conversion just after I've built my tiny house. You are a super couple and from Canadian Citizen to another ( I lived in Toronto for 11yrs and will be back). Have a fab rest of a holiday 'eh' and I'll keep watching. Xx
Hi all the way from Johannesburg South Africa 🙂 I didn't even know such life styles existed its amazing.
Especially when your an accountant working a 9 to 5 desk job and have spent most my life behind a book or labtop.
Very inspired watching your guys adventures and wishing you three all the best on all your travels.
Best wishes
Angela
I'm a newbie from Perth in Scotland, actually live in the village just outside city called Scone, near Scone Palace where all the Kings and Queens of Scotland used to be crowned. I've been to Australia 3 times, once to Perth, once to Melbourne and a Suburb outside Melbourne Sunbury I think it's called. Beautiful country and people. Scotland has that in common and the 4 seasons in one day! Loving binge watching your channel to catch up. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing and stoked you found us! We would love to tour around Scotland one day!
It's absolutely my dream, well scratch that, my goal to be able to live a Van life like you guys. I am really Blown away by the fact that how appreciative you guys are!! Love from Melbourne!!
I'm from Germany, just saw your channel today. Cosuming videos from people like you at the moment because I really want to go on more adventures and change my way of life. thanks for the inspiration
Did I hear Lee say "i know it's expensive but can we get........" @9.15 in the video? You guys' humility blows my mind. So cute 💖
Very perceptive Mona ; ) ❤️❤️❤️
Aw I love Melbourne! I lived there for a year and everyone is so friendly and the boutique cafe lifestyle is the best! You were spot on with people eating brunch out more than dinner hahaha!
Great videos Max and Lee. I’m now a tennis coach in Florida but traveled a lot in the past. Still want to travel but at 66, backpacking, pensions, and tenting is a bit harder than before. Airbnb is the way I go these days. Met my girlfriend last year in Trinidad and went to Portugal the year before. Spent a lot of time in Asia in the past. 3 years in Hong Kong and 12 in Japan. When I was in China back in 86 there were almost no cars and all bicycles and ox carts. Signal light was a policeman standing on a wooden box with a red and green flag to stop and go at intersections. Lots of good memories on the road. Good luck on the road, and stay safe. Tim.
So. Cal USA here. I've been following you two for 8 months or so and have really become attached to your weekly adventures and the two of you. Oh' and Occy! You're lovely young people living life on your terms. All the best!
Massachusetts, Boston area. Happy 3 years💗 and many more
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States!! Sending my love to you both! You serve as such an inspiration to many
Aww thank you Beatriz! Stoked to hear it!!
I am Australian, but live in the UAE. I don't want to van travel but I watch because I can't stop watching Occy. He is so cute.
I'm Riley, I'm currently a college student in South Jersey, (NJ girl lol!) I am a big dreamer of travelling the world and watching your videos inspires me to keep pushing through to follow my dream.
You are amazing. My favorite peoples. Take care of you guys. From Jean, Quebec, Canada.
Thanks so much for supporting us Jean 💛
Love from Northern California USA.... bet you guys are missing your little guy.... cant wait till he's back with you.... stay safe...
I also watched this in June 2024 in Michigan, USA. Yes, like minded people do watch your videos. Opposites attract and balance one another out. A beautiful harmony. Remember, angel wings are wrapped around us at all times. Hugs!
