- Hi! I’m Christine 🙋🏼♀️ After working for many years in sales and business ownership, I felt major burnout 😵💫 I sold my houses, extra cars, and most of my belongings. Now I'm happier than ever having very few material things. I travel living out of my vehicle with my old and blind best friend, Chase the Dog 🐶 We roam the USA looking for adventure, food, and fun! I'm never sure what the future holds. Join the adventure and find out with me! 🤩
In this video, we explore the cute coastal town of Ocean Springs, Mississippi!

My husband and I retired here recently and saw ur video after we moved. Seeing this reinforced the reason we decided to retire here. Thank you
This Video made me home sick for the 4 years we lived in Biloxi Mississippi . I was an Air Traffic Control Instructor at the Kessler AFB . OFF DUTY , I just about lived on the Gulf water . I spent a lot of time fishing around Ship Island ; about 12 miles out . There's a civil war Fort out there . They do boat tours to the Fort . I had a civilian co worker that had a potato donut shop in Ocean Springs .!! The donuts were delicious . I lived in North Biloxi . I moved to Boise Idaho to retire from the Air Force .. I like the mountains ,BUT I MISS THE GULF AND THE FRIENDLY PEOPLE . I moved to Boise the Christmas of 1979 . I'm now 80 years old and to late to move back to the FRIENDLY SOUTH ... I Love your Sparkly , HAPPY VIDEOS and the LOVE You have for Chase .!!!💘🐕🎶 .. Always looking forward to the next Video .. Later . 👍😄😇💘
Hi Larry! I was stationed at Keesler from 84-86. I was an STA in "The Triangle"... the only female in my squadron. I met my husband when we were both in Guam. He left the AF and worked at Stennis when I was at Keesler. He was originally from New Orleans and most of his family moved to Bay St Louis.
We lived in Pass Christian on a bayou, and stayed there when my enlistment ended. We had a sailboat and loved living on the Coast for 10 years.
Now I live in Wisconsin. Cheers!
Was it Tato Nut Donuts? It's still in business today.
@@joemtnclimber793 Sorry ::: I left their December 1979 .. I can't remember the name . He sure made DELICIOUS donuts !!! potato based .. I could sure like a dozen .. If you have his address , I'd appreciate it .. He has probably passed on . Must be Family run now . Thanks 👍
@@larrywilliams4946 They're on Government St they are POTATO based and they are delicious!! Maybe they will ship a dozen to you Larry!!
@@joemtnclimber793
Thanks Joe .. I’ll look them up . 👍
Chase and the way you care for his disabilities and include him with the cozy stroller. So thoughtful
I'm glad you managed to swing by while the boat was stuck on the beach. It's been a hilarious landmark/tourist attraction for us until the city finally got rid of it. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in our little town. Swing by back in October for Cruising the Coast of you're at all into vintage cars.
Oooooo I love the fresh market!! It’s like the best thing ever. Every Saturday till 12:00
so tickled watching you get setup to put Chase in the stroller. I wonder how many people see you go thru the process of setting up the stroller, then reach in the car and instead of a kid, it's Chase! It made me smile!🙃
Haha I never thought of that lol I'm glad it made you smile 😆 I appreciate you watching! 🙏🏼
Chase's her little baby boy what you talkin bout LOL❤😊
I couldn’t stop watching Chase devour his cupcake! 😝😝😝 such a cutie!
Chase is a cutie! 🐶😍 Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
Thanks for the enlightening video on Ocean Springs. Didn't know all that stuff was there!
Woke up this morning to this recommendation, and I have to say I’m very glad it was. I’ve lived in Ocean Springs for almost 20 years and counting. It’s a beautiful place with more people moving here all the time!! The city is even trying to widen the roads somehow due to the influx of newcomers 😅. I love how you captured the essence of the city and even added some historical points about it!! I’m sure Mr. Chase loved every bit as well!! The downtown market I believe is only there on some to possibly most weekends, so you came at the right time!! I hope you enjoyed your time here, and with everything still changing, I’m sure there will be more adventures for you and Chase the next time you both are here!! Safe travels!! 🙏🏼
its funny watching someone on youtube in the city i live in that travels the country. definitely and great place to visit
Hey, just so you know, whenever I see one of your videos it brightens my day. Never stop doing what you love. Life on the road can get gloomy more often than not. I prefer to make the best of it.
That makes me really happy to hear! 🤩 Thank you for sharing! Keep making the best of it!!!
I love the fresh market eggrolls!!! They are the best egg rolls I have ever had in my entire life
Howdy neighbor! I'm in Biloxi and have been looking into this way of life recently... thank you so much for your inspiration and tricks of the trade! Hope to see you around sometime! Sending light and positive vibes your way!
you are so dedicated to your dog. Bravo. Enjoy your videos and how y share your life with Chase.
Chase is so precious!!! Just living his best life. ❤
Chase is a cutie! 🐶😍 Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
You have definitely mastered your video editing skills and integrating the music 🎶
Wow Mississippi should pay you for the travel guide 😊
No crowds and delicious food 😋
Keep on adventuring
Our favorite dynamic duo
Cheers 🍻
Aww shucks! Thank you for the nice words! I appreciate you always being there! 🙏🏼
Shiii Mississippi ain’t got enough money lol 😂
Buttt ocean springs does
Hi Christine, thank you for the insight into Ocean Springs. Considering relocating there and your video reinforced my desire to. Also had a border collie named Gracie when my wife and I lived in Oceanside CA. Recently widowed and I could almost smell the ocean through my computer screen. The memories are what we cherish on our way out. Continue your adventure, I'm working my way back to that.
Thank you for the reminder about memories being what matters. I agree. I appreciate your comment Brian!
Brian I lived in Ocean Springs prior to during and after hurricane Katrina. I loved it although finding decent work to accommodate the cost of living unless you have something career wise you can take with you or find similar there is a challenge. Not that income and cost of living is any different anywhere these days!! I’ve lived all over the US traveling with work prior to Katrina and then again being hired on and contracted with some investors to manage their properties in the Virgin Islands then Covid. Either way indeed Ocean Springs has I’ve heard boomed the past 10yrs though I suggest also looking into Georgia as the price of real estate is lower and comparable pay to the west coast is something rare these days. Just a thought. 😊
Driving cross country seeing and eating all the wonderfulness. Sounds like a beautiful life to me❤
Hi Christine! I thoroughly enjoy your vlogs and for giving us history lessons of all the places you travel. It is so sweet to see how you care for beautiful Chase. He is so fortunate to have you! Thanks for taking us along on your journeys!
Thanks for coming along with me Vicky! 😃🙏🏼
doggy in a stroller is just the best thing on the internets

Haha yes Chase is a cutie! 🐶😍 Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
Haha yes Chase is a cutie! 🐶😍 Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
What a coincidence this came up on my for you page. I also live in ms, I was born in Biloxi and currently live in Gulfport. This is some good insight into car living as well. I lived in my car for two months back in November
Boy that humidity makes me wanna cry
You are absolutely a real, real person out on her own enjoying life at its fullest 💟. You are absolutely amazing. ❤and I ain't kidding. God bless you on how you make the Best of life, with your beautiful dog 🐕💟 from a 🇺🇲🇮🇹 subscriber.❤you little 😇.
Nice video, I've been gone for a year. I miss home so much! Can't wait to get back
Shiii I live in Gautier. I’ve gone to oceans springs many mannnyyy times and some of the stuff in the video I never even knew they had. Love your channel
That’s cool! 😎
You are doing an amazing job making this lifestyle not only work but be joyful.
Any plans for van life in the future?
Thank you! I'm going to keep traveling in the SUV for the foreseeable future 😃
Cool rain “shower” and beautiful view too. Beach was ok too.
I am from the Gulf Coast area and it runs from Ocean Springs to Bay St. Louis MS traveling down Hwy 90. There is a lot of history along the Gulf Coast, along with some nice areas car camp. There are some areas along the beach where you can have a fire on the beach.. There is always some local event going on in one of the towns along the beach. Enjoy your stay!
I would love to have a beach fire on the Gulf Coast! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😃🙏🏼
I live in Ocean Springs. It is a phenomenal place. People are so nice here. There is so much to see and do on the Gulf Coast. The only draw back, the weather can be quite brutal. Thanks for visiting!
Awesome
hi! i love watching your videos you are an inspiration and your energy is awesome!
Another terrific video Christine! You really seem to really take in the local environment and have a great time w Chase!!
I try to! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😃🙏🏼
Sigh… what a way to kick things off with a new vlog and Mississippi did not disappoint me and hopefully you can visit Tupelo where Elvis was born and great job on the vlog Christine 👍🏻
P.S I did a vlog too in Malibu CA to celebrate my moms birthday who came from Michigan but when you get a chance feel free to watch it
Nice to see your video. I live in ocean Springs.
You make great videos! Can't wait until the next one! Have fun and be safe!
Thank you! Will do! 😃 I appreciate you watching! 🙏🏼
Really enjoy your videos. Catching up 😂
Next time you do the shrimp and cut them and run them under the cup cold water in it this blows it out🎉🎉
Such a great experience to watch. You and Chase are the best!
I appreciate the kind words! 😃Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Hey Christine, glad you enjoyed ocean springs. Next time you come back, there is a really good jerky stand at the Saturday market (my personal favorites are the cowboy, Buffalo, and original). There is also a National park that is pretty nice.
Sadly I missed the jerky stand. I will have to come back! 😎
Ocean Springs is a great place!
It really is! Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
Chase is putting that cupcake away. Love it 🎉
He did enjoy it! 😆
I live in Ocean springs. Grew up here. I sometimes forget what a treasure we have, usually because the heat and humidity😂. Thank you for the video, and God bless.
So peaceful
I'm glad you think so! 😃
Loved 💕seeing Ocean Springs again. Was there decades ago and remembered how peaceful and beautiful it was. Bought some beautiful pottery there. Could tell that you and Chase really enjoyed your time there. Envious of the yummy shrimp 🦐 meal. Continue to enjoy your travels and stay safe.
Thank you! Will do! 😃 I appreciate you watching! 🙏🏼
Looks like a beautiful place to be! I'm missing the beach/ocean! Thanks for sharing your adventure.
I miss the ocean when I'm away from it too! Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
You are so kind and sweet to your dog Chase....i loved seeing him on the stroller ...nice and interesting video.....bye bye...
Thank you so much!
You are in a beautiful city. I live close by. Enjoy
A new city with new food, awesome video!
Thank you so much!!! 😃🙏🏼
The best pineapple is in Hawaii! OMG it’s so good
You take such good care of him ❤
I try! 🐶 😃 Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
🍍: The best fruit on this planet.
(And another awesome video, btw. Thank you for producing them)
Pineapple is so tasty!! Thank you for the appreciation! It is very encouraging 😃
@@ChristineMeachum Yeah... no worries. You're doing awesome. I encourage you to keep rolling with it. 🙂
Very nice. Love egg rolls for breakfast why not, especially fresh made. Looks like a great place to visit.
I love dinner for breakfast....and breakfast for dinner lol 😃 Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Great video. My husband grew up in Ocean Springs, and it’s a really cute place with some neat things to do. I grew up in Natchez….north of New Orleans on the MS River. You should check it out if you get a chance. It has lots of Antebellum homes with amazing architecture and of course a lot of history from days gone by. Don’t think I could live MS again, but I sure do enjoy going back for an occasional visit. I live in the Rocky Mountains now and honestly that’s hard to beat!!!Your dog is adorable, and he’s lucky to have such a loving dog mom. Safe travels. 😀
Nice trip to Ocean Springs, MS,
never been, until now,
thanks for the tour,
liked your video,
I will have to watch some other video's you have created soon.
Thanks for taking the time ; )
🙂 Cheers ; )
Thanks for coming along! 😃🙏🏼
Thank you again for the video! I used to have two knives, similar to yours - Rapala filleting knives. Unfortunately, both have broken after years of usage. Very effective and useful form of knife.
Filleting knives are so handy! Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
Christian everything ever view excellent ur cooking nice thanks ur sharing ur wonder full life. Nice volg
You can park at the beach. The Gulf Coast area has several towns along Hwy 90, the scenic beach highway.
Great video
Thank you! 😃
Wow you just popped up on my feed. We live in D'Iberville,Ms. Just down the road from Ocean Springs. We love it down here. Grew up in the Gulfport area and the New Orleans area where i was born. The coast is much better in my opinion. It was the perfect place to bring my new wife when we moved back from the Philippines. Great people and culture, with quite nice Asian comunity as well😁👍❤️ !!!
Hey I use to live in ocean springs. Now I live in Gulfport!
Chase, you look like the perfect companion for a road trip.
Chase is a great travel buddy! 🐶😍 Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
Thank you
I think Chase likes the pup cake!!
He definitely did! 🐶
Miss Christine is living my dreams eating chips so enjoyable to watch
Haha thank you! 😃🙏🏼
I wish I had known you were headed to Mississippi. I would have come to OS a met up with you. Welcome to my state. I hope you enjoyed it. Maybe next time.
I hope Chase really liked his cupcake treat! 🥰
He inhaled it so he must have lol 🐶
You always seem to have the beach to yourself. I just got back from Galveston Island and no matter what time I went someone was there. And to make things worse my dog got an ear infection from the gulf 😢. Keep up the awesome videos!!
Oh no poor puppy! I try to go during the off times whenever I can and that helps! I appreciate you watching! 🙏🏼
Hey that's my town. Nice.
I'm getting a truck tent for my pick up. Its going to be the ultimate vintage Coleman Camping Glamper. I'm getting the toilet and a battery operated shower with pump and the battery pack fan. I'm also putting indoor outdoor carpet for inside the tent.
🎙️LOVE THE WAY YOU IMPROVISED, WELL PLANED, ENJOY YOUR STAY 💯🔆🙏🔆💯🇺🇲😎🇺🇲🌍🤣👁️
New subscriber! Hey you're in my home state! I live in southern Mississippi! Our Gulf Coast is awesome!
Welcome Leslie! 👋🏼 I do love the Gulf Coast!!
Yup me to on the shrimp.
Gosh I love that smile. 😍😵💫🫠🫠
PS. Chris Farley would’ve been very proud of you. 😂😂😂
☺️🙋♀️
You videos are always great to watch! How did you decide to travel all over and live in your vehicle and lifestyle? I give you all the credit for enjoying your life. A big benefit is that we get to go with you thru your videos! Stay safe and have fun!
Thanks for the positive words Tim! I will be making a video about my backstory and why I do this lifestyle soon. Hopefully that will answer your question 😃 Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Every single video is one that I enjoy fully. I wish we could be friends in real life! You are living my dream.
That's awesome to hear! 🤩 I appreciate the support Tanya! 🙏🏼
I've lived two miles from downtown Ocean Springs for over 20 years. It's a great place to live. That whole area of Front Beach is dog friendly, by the way.
I love the area! It must be awesome to live there!
Pensacola/Pensacola beach it's awesome, you would love the beach..... Where ya parking these days?!
Your awesome… I’m in gulf port
Gulfport is a cool town! I really appreciate the support! 😃 Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
You need a car top carrier for that dog cart!
That's not a bad idea but I'm trying to stay super stealthy 😎
Hello from the Philippines ! New subscirber here. binge watching your videos. They are great. Chase really enjoyed the cupcake :-) does chase prefer the stroller over the leash when you take long walks? what a lucky dog, able to travel with you.
Hello from across the globe! 👋🏼🌎 I try to walk him on the lease until he gets tired. I want him to have as much exercise as possible but when he doesn't feel like walking anymore he is like a statue lol Thanks for watching! 😃🙏🏼
Love how your videos are educational! Thank you! Hope your travels continue! Do you live out of our vehicle 100% of the time? What is your vocation? Just found you! Chase is a sweet companion!
I stay with family a lot too so that I can spend time with them and get a break from the road 🙃 I do some food delivery on the road and am pursuing CZcams as a vocation. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😃🙏🏼
Noice, If you get to Orange, TX, or PORT ARTHUR, TX. Go to the Janis Joplin Museum.... Think it still exists, went there before Covid. Grab a Daiquiri in Louisiana ;-)
you filleted that pineapple!
Haha yup! 😃
I mean no disrespect when I say this, but how is it that you can eat the way you do and not gain a ton of weight? I enjoy your videos so much and the way you travel is awesome I am 76 yo and am going to start traveling in September. You have inspired me to do the same sort of traveling.
Ok, so now I want to go get some butter & garlic paste (forgot about that) and make that! lol...of course, I live in Phoenix so it will not be nearly as fresh as that, but still good...thanks for the idea!
Of course! I hope you enjoy a yummy meal! 😋
@@ChristineMeachum haha! I forgot all about it! 😆
I recently discovered you and you are now one of my favorites. I'm from Tn. and it's great to see stealth camping in the South. Do you plan on any trips through E. Tn? I need ideas on where to boondock (-;
I want to see the Parthenon replica in TN someday but I don't know when I'll be able to make it that way. I really appreciate the support! 😃 Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Sirius xm ch 146 Dave Nemo entertainment Roaddog is based there in Ocean Springs. If you travel you gotta have Sirius xm ch 136
Ch 146
Your channel came up in my feed.. chase is a cutie pie and looks like he's living his best doggie life... looking through your previous videos.. looks like you were traveling in a Ford transit connect... if you don't mind me asking what happened to it? I've been winter vanlifing Florida in my 2013 FTC since October 2022 and loving the lifestyle....
Thanks for sharing..
Hi Michelle! With Chase being blind the van did not make sense for him. He would have bumped his face into the many corners. I do prefer the stealth aspect of my SUV as well. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😃🙏🏼
I need to go to Ocean Springs, Mississippi!
Thanks for sharing your experiences there.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😃 Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Oh wow, you are in my neck of the woods, I live on the Gulf Coast area. Hope you enjoy your time down here on the coast. Lots and lots of nice places to visit. How long are you going to be down in this area?
I'm already onto my next state but I loved all my time in the Gulf Coast area! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😃🙏🏼
@@ChristineMeachum thanks for responding, I know you are a busy person. Hope that your next trip is epic. You are an awesome person. Stay safe!!
Kinda weaird to see ulsomeone make a video of my home town i lit😅jl just moved to biloxi
Lovely video. Do you ever miss the van & I know you had reasons why you sold it but I'm just curious. Also I have a Chevy Equinox & it is my favorite car of all time.
I miss the van on days that I feel cramped in the SUV but that is very rare. I am very happy with my Equinox. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😃🙏🏼
What year Equinox is that? Looks like a '12 I'm guessing and in great shape. The shrimp looked delicious and well worth the effort.
It's a 2010. I just posted a video about how I converted it 😃Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
Hello, was the workout equipment at North beach and if not what beach was it at?
How do you handle the summer heat in south Mississippi, sleeping in your vehicle?
Cook 1st and then dehead,shell??
Hello. Can Chase walk? You can see the love you have for him..❤
He can walk but not very far hence the stroller. I do love him big time! 🐶😍
Do you have any advice on where to park?
@Chistine Meachum Also CHASE has got to have his Treats, Snacks, and Meals cut down to baby bite size, Nibbles or Kibbles. Or he will be like Me and try to Engulf a Burrito, and almost die choking like the goofball I am, Mom's not here to cut your Burrito up. (Mom's alive just wasn't at that incident) My dog eat's the same as Me, "Thanks that was delicious... what's next?" Did you just eat 5 slices of Pizza during Half-Time? Umm... yes... I think I did 🙂
