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.
Truly postcard worthy photo scenes. Love seeing nature
I thought the same exact thing 🎉
The photography and music that you shared is so professional and awesome. Beautiful clear blue water and falls.
Absolutely breathtaking.
Thank you!!!!!!!.
If you have room in your freezer, your cashews can be stored there. The nuts will last longer and the oil will stay fresh. 😊
You really are a gifted photographer/videographer, with an artist’s eye.
The joy on your face finding new surprises in your own backyard, precious!
Emi I get very nervous for you when you are walking in woods. I hate being so negative . But this world is a scary place . Please be careful
❤ Kelly's little chirrip when you talk to her...😊
What an AMAZING INTRO!!!!!!!….
And your video’s are always so soothing and a joy to watch.
Beautiful scenery and beautiful opening music, love it!
How magical to make a discovery practically in your own backyard. Thanks for taking us along! What great luck that you got that appointment - and very wise of you not to ignore changes on your skin. Nice for Kelly to stretch her legs and get some fresh air.
Breathtaking videos of Canada‘s nature.

Beautiful waterfall 💞
Wow beautiful. I love rhe piano music at the beginning of this video.
Yesterday I ran into the former owner of my quilt shop. 6 years ago they sold it. I was surprised how much he remembered about my quilts. I think of myself as invisible. My original designs less so.
A beautiful video, thanks for taking us along to your gorgeous hidden gems! I love to see our princess out in the woods, she seems in her element. Nice that you got in with the dermatologist so quickly, safe travels to you both.
Beautiful music
Wow! The photography of those opening scenes, plus the music, is spectacular! Also, the waterfall scenes were amazing. Thanks for another great video!

I need to watch no documentary to find nature as lovely as you portray.Truly a blessed eye.Good luck at dr.Kitty will help you recover as you have helped her always.Nice tour of cities that we cant see from the highways !
That waterfall was beautiful and the color of the water was amazing 💖
So glad you are taking good care of yourself. Love the beautiful nature walk. Kitty looks so happy.
Beautiful trail and surprise water falls. The turquoise water looked inviting. Perhaps summer it may be warm enough to take a dip.
Beautiful scenery, photography, and music.
Very nice beginning with music!! Wish I went to those waterfalls when I was around Squamish last summer?? Glad you got in early to see dermatologist--hopefully not serious---make sure you wear dunscteen everyday!!!😎😎
Beautiful scenery. You take beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful country, you have a way of capturing it...your spirit is beautiful too...stay safe, be well and happy
It’s so beautiful in the snow the water and the wild life are amazing to see 👍
Beautiful waterfalls!❤
I love the driving in the snow. I know it sounds crazy but I think it's so beautiful and relaxing as long as there isn't a rush to arrive somewhere. I had to smile at your comments on your dinner. I can't count the times I made something with whatever I had because I didn't want to shop!. Tell Miss Kelly good night for me.❤
It is time to prove a calendar with your photographs, ok? And prints methinks !!! Can’t wait
How beautiful it is on your walk, and such a beautiful waterfall.
Beautiful scenery and what a loving sweet little kitty😻
Miss Kelly is sweet and polite like her Mom
Enjoy watching the sauces and spices you use to cook.
Also you are creative and innovative with your photography and videography. You do an amazing job videoing with the drone. I be terrified to lose it over the water. You are a pro.
Hope all goes well with dermatologist.
💖🐾🤗

Haha, just the other day when I made a "stir fry" with rice noodles and veggies I sprinkled sesame seeds on top once done and said to myself, "it's the seeds that make it look like I'm in a fine-dining restaurant"....also, good to know re Walmart in Squamish, thank you 🙏
Mabey you need to see if the Heater has a filter, my van has one.
