- 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. I 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, I explore New Orleans from the comfort of my home on wheels!

Aww, I’m glad you took some time after losing beautiful Chase.
I think I’ll always have days when I miss my dog Otis & that’s ok. It shows how much I still love him. Great video Christine xx
Our best friends never die. They live in our hearts and souls forever ❤
I lost my fur baby in July 2021 and I just now got another fur bay December 29th 2023, I tried once before to get another fur baby and I wasn’t ready however after almost 3 and a half years I was able to except a new fur baby! Chase is always and forever missed. With lots of love and many blessings have safe and fun travels
👏👏👏Wonderful! You are literally a one-man team. The shots, the image selection, the soundtrack, the storytelling, the post-production... It's all great, and you're doing it all on your own. If you had the opportunities of a mainstream TV channel, who knows what you could achieve.
I lived about 20 miles upriver from New Orleans all my life . Love Louisiana food the most!
I don't know what a muffeletta is but I want one!
You do a great job of describing the foods/drinks you are having. So much better than "oooh, it's so good!".
Just to say hello from the UK you give chase the best life ever and I hope you stay safe and keep that lovely smile xx
Come to French Lick Indiana to see our two beautiful grand hotels . But we don’t have a planet fitness 😢 so sorry for the loss of your beautiful dog Chase!
Thanks for taking us along on this incredible tour of New Orleans! 🎉 That muffuletta sandwich looked absolutely mouthwatering 😋. And your message about taking your time and prioritizing self-care really resonated with me. It's refreshing to see a content creator who values balance and well-being. Can't wait to see more adventures from you!
Hello my friend I’m so sorry you’re missing chase ❤️ Big hugs to you‼️I hope your t brings you joy snd comfort knowing you are lifting many spirit’s by bringing us such fun content and experience we may otherwise not get to have! In this episode my favorite was the cemetery I’m a sucker for cemeteries and the fact that you slept right out front of one you are brave and you rock‼️❤️
Yes I agree that sammmesh looks awesome !!!
Christine is full of courage and inspiration for us all..
I hope next time if you haven't already, is stroll down Royal Street! The Hotel Monteleone is over 100 years old!
You should submit your posts to The Travel Channel. You should have your own television show.
Agreed 👍
Watching these videos makes me want to jump in my car and go. I have no idea where but waking up to a new view every morning, even if it is a truck stop, seems wonderful.
It is pretty wonderful! There are cons for sure but I love waking up and seeing a new sight out of my window most days...even if it's just a parking lot! I hope you do jump in your car and go somewhere 😃
@@ChristineMeachumI've been inspired. I just got the time off and will be going to Lake Tahoe in July, just me, my car, and my bike, no hotel, no plans, I'm just going to wing it.
I got emotional watching this video and the reason is how enjoyable is looking those spots throughout your eyes. I can also feel the emotions you could be experiencing at the time you are showing us an especial place. Like I told you before, I am learning English and can’t imagine a better class than knowing new and magical places while I am getting insides from the language from your experiences. Thanks a lot and I got in love of New Orleans. Greetings from Dominican Republic
Hi Christine,
Ha, I bet it was a quiet night by the cemetery. If your fort on wheels takes you to Dallas, you can tour another city by streetcar. Safe Travels
You could drive east to Georgia to Jekyll Island north to Savannah and Charleston all are close together and great towns.
That street car ride looks like fun. And that sandwich looks delicious. I'll have to add both to my list of things to check out.
You are Such a good story teller. So enjoyable!!!
So much history ❤
Yum to that muffuletta sandwich! Enjoyed your trip to the Big Easy. R.I.P. little Chase.
Thanks Christine great video
You look absolutely lovely in that shirt!
The part about feeling like a kid in a magic fort; that was great! I love that!
It was great. Took me back to my fort making days 😂 she always has a great perspective.
a medley of ingredients...my, my Christine. fancy
I always do a thumbs up even before watching, thankyou for showing us around New Orleans etc.....take care
I really appreciate it! 😃
Ha! I thought you would be 26yrs! Good for you!
I’m so sorry about beautiful Chase!!
I love your videos friend! We are along for your ride 💚
Totally Awesome young lady . Happy to see U back ❤
You’re going to be ok, Christine. You’re inspiring so many! Hugging you! ❤ Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. Great videography!
Christine I appreciate you find it difficult missing Chase. i do too however this was a great video. You are so spiritual and a great food critic.
Thanks for bringing us along Christine. A couple times I’ve been in New Orleans I seem to spend all my time on Bourbon Street and barrooms. never saw the places you visited. If I ever go again I’ll have to see what you saw. Great video and thank you.
Great video! Love your spirit. Maybe your little fountain rainbow is chase letting u know he's still along on the road. 🩷😊
Aww, I like that thought 💫
Yay another video chase will be missed. I'm resting up with a infection of my foot. I love your videos. Always looking forward to your vlogs
Beautiful!
Great tour, I was happy to join you.
We love your videos Christine ❤❤❤❤
❤ making my way through Savannah Georgia ❤ missing New Orleans tons ❤❤
Black-bellied whistling ducks. That's your birds. 🙂
We are 3 hours from New Orleans!!
Come to Lafayette!
You would love the food!!
My daughter & I took a weekend trip to New Orleans. What fun! I think we walked every square inch of that city. We also rode that streetcar & visited the cemetery. We went on the ferry too. Enjoyed beignets & chicory coffee @ Café Du Monde. Great trip. So much to do.
That was a great video, Christine, as always! You are a great storyteller and have a great personality. Thank you for sharing your time and experiences. One of these days, I will leave my cave and see the sun again.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy! Everything else is manageable!

Nice video! I used to live in south Louisiana so it was great to see the NOLA sights again. I will definitely ride the streetcar next time I visit as its something I've never done.
Always glad to be your travel buddy . ❤
Nice spots. That cemetery was amazing to look at.
Thanks for another excellent video.
New subscriber, enjoying your videos so far. From Traverse City, MI. Sorry about Chase, I’ve lost pets close to me and it’s never easy. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Welcome!
Such a beautiful and historic environment to be visiting! That historic trolley ride looked so enjoyable, as you soaked up all the history around you. I know that you still miss Chase as we all do, but I’m glad to see you happy again with your ability to travel wherever life takes you! ✅. Thanks for sharing the beauty of New Orleans with us!💕 Take care, stay safe, and enjoy your travels. Until your next location and video… 💕
Hey Christine. I’m in Biloxi heading back to fairhope tonight. Hope you’re safe wherever you are or heading. Take care of yourself!
Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful and historical side of New Orleans. So rich in history and culture. You captured it so well. The cemetery was especially cool. Always fascinated by old ones in particular.
The sandwich looked quite delicious too😋
Love how the joy you are feeling bubbles over in your smile and twinkling eye as you went from site to site.
Thank you again.
Take care, keep safe and see you on your next video👍🏻🙏🏻😃☺️
Love you Christine!!
Great video, loved to see you smile again. Wishing you better days on each trip you take!
I haven't been there in awhile.. need to go back. Good video. Enjoy Louisiana
The editing and content is amazing!
Brave young lady...I would be so scared sleeping by a graveyard 😮 I couldn't do it! Lol
So sad to hear. I have not heard of Chase before this. He was your dog? My dog is my best friend and she goes with me everywhere. She is getting old and recently had surgery to remove some lumps, but overall is doing well and is a joy to be around. I do not know what my life will be like without her, but I would imagine it will be miserable. I thank the stars every day she is still with me!
Dogs are the best! ❤️🐶❤️
Christine thank you for showing the cemetery. My daddy and momma owned a cemetery.
I am so sorry for your loss. I travel in a van with my two large dogs. It is challenging because it limits where we can go and what we can do but I cannot imagine not having them with me. I can empathize with the struggle you must be going through. ❤
Christine, I am so happy you enjoyed your stay here in our fair city. Please come back again soon!! P.S. I miss Chase too.. 🐕
You and other ladies like yourself are awesome in my book.🤠🇺🇸
Yum, I need to visit New Orleans for the good. Thanks for sharing your trip there with us. I'm glad you took some time to grieve Chase's passing. I think it's appropriate that the first main attraction after his death was a cemetery to remind us all how precious life is and how quickly it can pass.
Love your videos!
Super glad to hear that you are ready to rock again.
Keeps getting better and better - you have great skills with the videography and stories you tell. Giving us an amazing tour of places most of us have never or won’t be able to see. Regardless if you are showing us beautiful landscapes, historic areas, animals, food, or your day to day I find myself smiling and soaking it all in. You are amazing at what you do and I for one am grateful for you following your dreams despite the challenges it brings. Even though I have a few years on you I find that you are an inspiration. You have a great head on your shoulders and I always gain a different perspective on things when you talk with us. Thank you so much and as always stay safe out there.
Wow you are so close. I’m back driving for entertainment part time and they are going to play biloxi Friday night. Hope your well
Thinking of you while you are healing as Chase went to heaven 🙏 I know how hard it is lost my beautiful Shetland sheepdog about 3 yrs ago ♥️ 😢It is so hard getting yourself back to a new normal 💖 Take your time dear friend ❤We will be here for you as you begin to spread your wings and travel again May God be with you always, Lori ❤
Know exactly how much u miss Chase I had numerous fur babies who grew old and died!😢😢 But u will prevail be happy ur able to travel while ur young!!😊😊 Keep telling my son who's a bit younger than u, he needs to travel extensively b4 he's an old man and can't! U r a really good narrator! U should have gone into journalism!
The muffuletta looked delicious and Riverview parlor seems like a fitting place to end the day watching the boats! Thanks!
In 2019 I won presidents award with my company and the trip was New Orleans. I went and did all the things you did. I am surprised I didn't see you on a paddle wheel boat. We rode the Natchez. The tour of the grave yard was really cool as well. I got a stone from it that I kept! It was an amazing trip. I would go back if I could.
Keep trucking Christine👍 chase will always be with us❤️
Those egg rolls used to come with an orange sauce. For some reason they stopped including it.
My kinda town !
Related to this one for sure. Keep it up. You’re doing great! And an inspiration to people like me. An inspiration to get up and do it. I’m sorry about Chase! Good luck with the changes in routine! Being alone will open your world up even further. 😉
If you are still down that way I would recommend looking up the band Tuba Skinny. They are the real deal when it comes to New Orleans Jazz!
I'm so sorry about Chase! He was a staple! Welcome back. Please know that you were very missed!
I rode that streetcar when I was in New Orleans for a conference. I loved the garden district.❤
The bird's at @5:43 Are called Whistling Ducks
Black-bellied Whistling Duck... Crap!
Take care ❤❤
I enjoyed your cemetery walk and message. Thank you!
I ❤❤ NOLA, such a cool and historic place
That was a very nice trip, Christine! I’ve RV camped in NOLA many times and you gave fresh insight into many familiar haunts!! Thank you and I miss Chase, too…
You're in some of my favorite hangouts. I lived there for 4 years. RIP Chase
Love your food commentary
So glad the deliciousness was portrayed! 😆😋
Always is, your expressions are everything
Excellent
❤ Nawlins
What a wonderful video and depth of history of this city. Very true this cemetery reminds us that one day we all will be gone regardless of race, gender or religion and replace by another human being.....
Your life style is truly amazing, scary, daring, challenging and sometimes rewarding. Please be careful out there it takes a lot of courage to have this life style and I am sure you go thru many ups and down in your life in day to day activity.....
You did a great job, Christine. Chase is proud of you. :)
Hey girl. Do you think you’ll get another pup? It was the best thing for me. I still miss my Pearl tho but my new dog is soooooo sweet and a rescue too.
I’m glad your doing great Christine I hope your going on your path but I just wanna say my gf and her family says hi to you ❤
Aww, thanks! Say "Hi" back to everyone 😃

mais cher` youre in my neck of the woods~!
You don’t look like you are pushing 40.❤
Thanks for another great video Christine! I’ll try not to take up much of your time here, but after seeing the cemetery, I want to tell you about an experience I had. I watched a video about a woman who married a guy in the late 1700s out east, Pennsylvania, I think. He decided it would be a good idea to start a farm in Indian territory. Like an idiot, he took an extended trip and left her and their three young sons alone. Indians kidnapped har and her sons, eventually killing the older two boys. One night, she took her remaining son, a toddler, and escaped, almost being caught a couple times. They made it back to safety because of her courage and smarts. She ended up living her last years in my hometown and is in the cemetery there. The video showed a picture of her gravestone and I recognized where it was and visited it. I know it was kind of sad, but the story and ending are very interesting. Anyway, im glad you’re doing better. Have fun!
So sorry to hear about Chase. Always hard to lose a family pet. I have been watching all your videos, and really enjoy them. However, I was wondering if you only do this in the spring/sumer, because, I was wondering how difficult it would be to do those in harsh weather?
Be very careful in New Orleans LA.
Gotta love New Orleans,
my parents used to take me on tours when i was a kid,
❤❤❤lots of history there, gtsy...
That sandwich looked delish!
That sandwich. Mmmm
Ikr! 😃
Awesome
I missed the Dog
Hi Christine! I have a Dodge Grand Caravan and kinda made it into a little camper but now I’m thinking about getting a suv. Can I ask what kind you have and if you’ve had any problems with it? Thx ~ Elaine
Love to meet ya. I’m TrevDev, let’s go on adventure.
