WHO WE ARE:
We are Max & Lee + Occy. We are new to the RUclips world and stoked to be here. We are about living small with the world as our backyard. We love adventure and we want to bring you along with us! Follow us as we continue our travels, through Mexico and into Central America.
Hey guys, after being asked about it on multiple occasions, we have registered for a Patreon account. Patreon is a membership platform that makes it easier for creators to get paid. We are really enjoying creating travel videos to share with you and we want to be able to continue to do so.
As a thank you to our Patreons, we would like to pay it forward. Every month we will be using 10% of any proceeds collected to help communities on a local level. Each month we will create a video on how and where that money goes (community, environment or education - to name a few) and will be sharing that exclusively with all of our Patreons! You can join for as little as $1.00 a month.
Patreon is a completely new concept to us and we by no means want any of you to feel obligated to join. We are already so grateful for everyone in this community and we look forward to sharing more with you.

Max & Lee With love from INDIA
Max & Lee i still love you guys.... Wish i could join but i can't do to my lung transplant possibility..... I will go steal lee when she gets home......lol😂😂
71k subscribers - you guys can totally make this self-sustaining. Just became a Patron, and really pleased to be a tiny tiny part of that. You make awesome content and I hope you can continue to do that for as long as you want to.
Max & Lee keep up the great work love the videos. Great travels
That is a great idea using 10% toward a local community on your travels and making a video about it
They look so much in love, healthy, vibrant and full of life. Still difficult to believe she was suffering emotionally so extremely to bring her to the point of destroying herself. Can't imagine the pain Max is feeling. "What are we going to do without her?"
Looks can be deceiving. They wouldn't be filming arguments now would they?
I agree, it’s shocking…… although some of the Videos I feel she looks very sad in her eyes?? It’s sad they can’t fight through these sad feelings….❤❤
Thinking of Lee's joy, her laughter, her light♥️
It really is so hard to except the outcome of this beautiful journey of these beautiful and good people and Occy.
Gosh we miss you Lee !!!
Blessing Max
Namaste
We will miss you lee. Rest well 💔💔💔💔
So hard to figure out why they broke up initially (re late 2019) ... as they seemed so happy & in love ~
I have been so disturbed and heartbroken that this beautiful & young woman felt the need to depart this planet and in such a shocking way ... 🌸
It is heart breaking!!
I miss her so much and never met her.
She shined so bright. She still motivates me to do better. Miss you Lee.
Of all the youtubers that I have watched, you guys are the most down to earth and its something about you guys that just its just exceptional! I'm soo glad you started a RUclips channel, my #1 vloggers! Thank you and I hope that your channel will rise :)And would love to see Lee while she is away, Love the 3 of you!
Aww thanks Gia!

It sucks when money actually gets in the way of dreams, but so inspiring to see you guys keep grinding against all odds.
too true!
Someone’s jealous ^^^^^^^^
Don’t let the negativity bring you guys down. Keep doing you!
well you don't have to give them money. and those who do are maybe doing it because they love their videos and enjoy watching what they do? If you don't like their lifestyle, why are you watching this video anyway? Stop relaxing behind your computer & enjoying to talk shitty about others and maybe do your work? ;)
@Michael M. False. A better analogy would be street buskers. If you enjoy the music (entertainment) they are providing you put some money in the box..if not, you walk on. If you don't enjoy the content (entertainment) they are providing why don't you just walk on? You are NOT the "entertainment" police...free to define for the rest of us what is entertaining or worthy of our contribution.
Michael M. *Michael, I’m thinking you’ve needed a vacation for well over a decade based on your bitterness...* 😳
*Try traveling, you may just like it!* 😉
What a difficult decision for y'all to make! But very responsible and you're both such hard workers 💜 the Occy cam was a cute idea! 😍
Lee.. Keep vlogging from home.
You two are so positive and fresh to watch... I like all of your videos very much so far. Please keep em coming...
I am sad. I know this has been a difficult decision for you all. I commend you for following your hearts. Your a breath of fresh air. Thanks for keeping it real. I 💜 you guys. ☮️
Lee is already tearing up..... This is gonna be ruff...... Mega love to y'all
Bill! She was hoping no one was going to catch that haha
Max & Lee tell her i was on it like fire.......lol
Aw the Occy cam is soooo cute!
I keep watching all these videos of each of them.. I’m still so dumbfounded and beyond heartbroken Lee is no longer with us..soooo heart broken!! It’s just absolutely horrible we lost such an incredibly beautiful human!!!! I will hold on to incredible Lee being my angel and being alongside me to keep fighting through my own struggles of depression and suicidal thoughts..I truly wish I could’ve met her in person..but I know she and I will meet one day in a more peaceful place..and I’ll be beyond grateful to that time shared ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks for keeping it real! Enjoying your channel and content. Looking forward to your future journey's!
I’d like to thank you guys for sharing your lives with us! ❤️
There is a couple that goes back to Alaska and work during the big season and allows them to travel. These are called grownup decision.
All blessings, good fortune come your way!!!!!!❤👍🏾🙏🏾🍾🥂
Rita Broils I'll check them out, thanks!
Rita Broils Nice word
I love the way she looks at you!! Such beautiful love 😆
Thank you for showing that the travel isn't free and RUclips isn't guaranteed cash flow !!!
You're a TRUE Inspiration! Love your authenticity & transparency. You're lovely role models of how you can live your dreams AND it does take genuine work. Living your values, making sacrifices. Wishing you all the best. God bless the three of you!
Best of luck in saving ... I sure hope to see you back out here soon... happy trails❤️
You'll be fine. Smart move. And... time apart makes reuniting really special/fun 😉
You guys are a beautiful couple. Glad to see you making moves.
wow, you guys are so awesome. thanks for the all of the honest videos guys. thanks guys !
Love you guys so much! You guys are very blessed to be able to do this. Keep the videos coming may the Lord be with you in your future travels and keep you safe!
great video☺️ for the Q&A: how did you two meet? ❤️
...awesome plan...makes huge sense...I’m now mostly here for the Occy Cam...no offense Lee or Max...jk🌼🐾
Aweeh sad to see Lee leave but can’t wait for all the new adventures that will come from it! Thank you for sharing your story and family with us and can’t wait for more videos 💜🌼
Lee you will be very missed!!! But lots of luck to this new chapter, I'm sure great things are comming for you three and I just can't wait to see it all. Greetings from Barcelona! ❤️
I love the Occy Cam ❤️❤️❤️ I’m happy that you two are able to figure out how to keep the experiences going. I’m sad that you have to do it apart. My husband and I of 17 years are doing the exact same thing but in our own situation and it is hard in he heart but also allowing more of our dreams to shine through for the future. Best of luck to you all and I will be watching as well to see what kind of fun and not to much trouble those two guys get themselves into. Thanks for sharing ✌🏼❤️
Thanks Mandy! And yes it is going to be hard. The thought of Lee leaving is already making me miss her and she's two feet away from me! I'm sorry that you and your husband have to go through it too. Just remember, it's all for the greater good!
You guys are awesome!!!!
I wish both of you the best! Can’t wait to see you reunited again! Your channel shows up and downs, which makes it interesting and easy to relate to!
Thanks Natalie!
Oh my goodness... I'm so happy to have come across your channel! I am living vicariously through your channel. Keep living your dreams Max, Lee and Occy!!!
Love to hear Occy's opinion on the van life :)
Couple legends right here.
Cheers Logan!
You two are so damn sweet! So down to earth and real. It's very refreshing! Best of luck with everything! And Occy is an angel
You guys are such genuine, awesome humans!! I hope you get to do all the traveling you dream of and more 💓 keep inspiring :)
RUclips...start paying these guys!!!! We want more videos...
Watching is not enough to experience things better than neglected
Ya thanks Bec’s for sending me over ;). All I have to say is Occy Cam 🙌🌈🌟❤️
Can't wait to see the new videos! Keep up the great work guys... Safe travels!!! Love the occy cam
Thanks Jerry!
Awwww... I love your channel and am excited to see how the future unfolds for your travels! Thanks for always including Occy - he's so dang cute. Best wishes in the months ahead to all three of you! xoxo
The Occy Cam!!! OMGGG!!
I like how there's a occy cam 😂❤️🐶
Love you guys ,so much fun watching you.love love love occy (best dog ever)
God Bless you Lee, may you forever be happy now and smiling.. we all miss you so much and sending love and prayers to Your family Max Occy and your Friends to find the strength to get through their Tragic Loss!! God Bless you Lee you were a bright light that brought sunshine to everyone you touched both in person and those who followed you via the internet.. you are SORELY missed and always will be! 💔😥🙏❤️
Lee, do a skin care and makeup routine from home! you are so beautiful
just checked the numbers of your youtube account and I have to say I'm seriously impressed how far you've come so fast. Your transparacy, authenticity and creativity are inspiring :). My question would be, where did you built out the van and did you do everything by yourself? (currently building mine)
Thanks Tobi! And I've added you question to the list (It's getting long!)
In fairness it’s probably less about ‘transparency, authenticity and creativity’ than the fact that she’s female, young and very attractive. Pretty sure the growth wouldn’t be quite so exponential if that wasn’t the case...
This is really exciting! Sad you're leaving, but admire how strong you are also nice to see a couple being grateful! I really hope you get the ads soon! Keep going you will do really good!
Thank you for your support and feedback :) It is only a small amount of time to separate in the grand scheme of our adventure that can now be even greater. Thank you for engaging with us a part of our lovely community on here xx
We will miss you Lee! Can’t wait to see how far you both will get on this trip. I really enjoy the content and really hope you both keep creating.
@RUclips pay them !!! Love you guys keep doing you gonna miss ya together
This is usually the case with most youtubers where one or both go back to work for awhile. Even Delos had to take a year off sailing to go work. Once your patreon takes off itll be much easier for you three.cheers!
Good point! Thanks for this insight : )
Love how real you guys keep it! You're living the dream ... the ups and the downs.
You two are such a beautiful, down to earth couple!! I've loved all your videos and I'm anxious to see more! Good luck to you Lee as you head home for a couple of months, I know it's going to be difficult for you both. It's actually going to be hard for your subscribers not seeing Lee for awhile, but I'm confident that Max will keep us entertained. Best of luck to you guys and God bless!!
...oh and now the sous chef can step up to temp head chef...opps for everyone 😂👨🍳
Haha yes indeed! You guys will see how creative Max will get in the kitchen ;)
Hey Guys! I have a question! Is there something we can do to get you “approved” by RUclips? Also thank you for taking us on your adventure. You are one of a hand full that inspired me to buy a van myself! I can’t live in one because of my job and house but I will be going on crazy adventures here in Europe! Lots of love from the Netherlands😘!!!
LifeAndLove good question! And no, unfortunately we have done everything we can on our end. All we can do is wait to hear from them. And good on you for getting a van, they're the best for adventure!
We’ve been following your journey and videos and you guys are crushing it!! Great content and overall look. We just started our travels and can wait to go down south. Safe travels guys!
I hope the two months pass by quickly for you all, so that you’re able to get back together on your wonderful adventure! Much love from Ottawa xo
We are gonna miss you Lee 😞🤗✨ but we understand it is for the greater good 😇🎀☺️ my question is “how did you meet and fall in love” 😍☺️✨
Thanks Lan :)! We appreciate your support xx And look forward to our next Skype date :) We have added your question xx
Pls Also add how old are you two? From where u guys belong originally?
Max how can you let lee go bro... How can you live without her it made me emotional why can't you both go and work together.
Well my best wishes to Lee and I have a request can lee share her videos when she goes with her parents.
Good question! Theres no doubt it is going to be hard but Occy was the biggest factor. It becomes a lot more complicated to both go home when a dog is involved! It's just not worth flying him when it is only for a short time. And yes! Lee will still contribute to vids from home : )
You guys are awesome. My husband and I are also new to the RUclips world and van life!! We are so inspired by you guys. Thank you 💕
You guys are my new favorite bloggers. I think it’s awesome y’all are traveling like that!! I’ll be tracking your videos for sure! 🙂
I'm only 2 minutes in but PLEASE tell me you'll still be putting out videos! Even if it's not exclusively Van vids and vlogs!! Love you guys!!!!
Don't worry weekly vids will be continuing! : )
And when max said occy he lifted his head which was cute like if u agree👍🐶❤️
Good luck Lee, don't overwork yourself! I hope Max and Occy have good adventures. I'm sure it will be hard but its for the best. Good Luck, can't wait to see your further exploring!!!
Thanks Kendra!
This is so down to earth. Love it! So understandble
Good bye lee iam biggest fan from indonesia goodluck tho 😁
Why don’t you become a model, your gorgeous!
Aw thank you. When I was 18 I did test those waters and I quickly found that the industry did not suit me.
Patreon is a great way to give something back to you both when you guys give so much back to us. You give us LOVE, TEACHING, JOY, LIVING in the NOW! May your journey INSPIRE others to follow their own DREAMS by living each moment with gratitude and happiness! ♥️👍 we all enjoy watching Max, Lee and Occy and hope you all shall be reunited very soon and in good health. Thanks guys☺
Aw thank you Stephen, we appreciate your thoughtful words and are excited to be reunited already! In saying that the next few videos will still contain all of us as we worked hard to film more in preparation to Lee leaving :)
Occy is very cute !! Good luck for work Lee ! ☺️
You are really positive people I like that !
(I’m french so thank you Family Coste for this discovery I like so much your channel)
Bye from France 🇫🇷 xx
Lily E #teamfamilycoste !
question why dont you both work why is it only her ?
Q&A how much do you spend on gas per week?
added : )
Ryan Hanson really? Go watch the videos before you ask questions!
Oh no I have just found your channel this afternoon (it's now 8:37pm) and have binge watched your videos off and on all day today and thought I was helping you guys out $ wise..Not even once realizing that there wasn't any ads on your videos 🙈Silly me! Once you guys get approved I shall replay every single one!! You guys are an incredibly inspiring couple & I wish you THREE💑🐶nothing but the best on your journey. Much love 💙✌
I think it's great that you're making these sacrifices to continue doing what you love! Good luck at your job Lee :) I am looking forward to following around on all the adventures that lie ahead of you. Lots of love from The Netherlands ♥
Thanks Hedwig!
And please talk about Patreon, i think most people dont see that in the description!
We are thinking about including it in our vids. We just dont want anyone to feel it is being forced upon them!
Max & Lee ...imho it’s a mindset...if you guys are excited to do more (ie learn/equipment/travel longer)it will show in your delivery-then we get excited too and Patreon will bring “the clan” together allowing that....but guilty/timid will also come across...excited always wins...
Your audio is just fine! Don’t rush and get a microphone!
Thanks for the feedback Callie! I think it's more of an issue when we are outside and it's windy!
That’s understandable! Either way I’ve fallen in love with your family! I found y’all’s channel recently and I’ve been binge watching all of the videos! I’m so happy I came across your channel, and I can’t wait to continue to follow you guys! You guys are very inspiring, and means a lot that you took the time to respond ♥️
+Max & Lee when you brush occy save the fur an glue it to a thin cloth then wrap around mic when your outside it blocks the wind noise, it really works I've done it many times. Best of luck.
You guy, gal and pup are awesome I hope you can continue these videos!
Thank you! We are going to work hard to make it happen :)
Good luck guys!!!! I’m very excited for your future videos!! And I’m also very impressed with your determination and drive!! I’d definitely love to see what Lee gets up to in the next few months too!
Thanks Brittany, we will be working in some vlogs from Lee's point of view and time and home xx
u have total of 2,8 mil views in less than ten vids and more than 70k subs ,, its crazy how u dont get paid by yt
Skills of Aesthetics Amen
Hey guys!! Hope all is well!! Just wondering what your astrological signs are??? I’m into that kinda stuff and I’m interested to see what your signs are! I know some people aren’t into it 😆 but I am a Cancer! 💗
Lee is a Scorpio and I'm a Sagittarius! Occy's born on April 8 so I think that makes him an Aries?
Moon sign?
Max & Lee Aries! Sweet
Cool lee is a Scorpio!! So am I!!
Aww yes! Super cool. Occy & you are both Fire signs and Lee is a cool water sign! Love it 👌🏻💜 Lee and your birthdays are close to each other then!😁
Awesome! Safe travels ✌️
Max + Occy + open road = BOYS TRIP!
Keep vlogging guys. We are loving your adventures. Good luck Lee, hope to see you rejoin the journey soon.
Thanks for your support Jack :) We are excited for everything going forward and appreciate you following along on the adventure. Cheers!
I just watch 2 video from you guys like 20 min ago and lee is leaving wow
Harun İşler haha it's only temporary! And we still have 3 more videos to come with her in it before it's just me and the Ocster 😉
I like how Max ends on a positive note "we'll get by"! Sounds funny at the end of the video, like "we don't need her! Right Occy?". I understand why one would not want to get just any job on the road and how complicated this might even be (visas and stuff) especially if one has a job waiting for him/her under better labour terms and general conditions, but it's sure gonna be strange for one to be missing, since you were introduced as a couple.
I agree but luckily it won't be for too long at all! We still have 3 videos in the bank with both of us in them (we've been working hard) so it will only really be about a month without Lee in the vids (and she may still cameo ; ) ).
Tough roads always lead to beautiful destination ,all the best guys 👍
Wish you all the luck in the world. Keep it humble and keep on this wonderful lifestyle.
No!!! You can't leave them! Open up a GOFUNDME!
Saul Liang we just wouldnt feel comfortable doing a go fund me. We have started a Patreon account (see top comment) and we like this avenue of payment better as it allows people that appreciate our content to contribute to our ongoing videos whilst being apart of our exclusive Patreon community 😊
Max & Lee I understand that but what will you do without your soulmate for months?!?! :'( #cutestvanlifecoupleplusoccy
Max & Lee The GOFUNDME is for quick survival money so you two don't have to separate. Unless you had this planned beforehand? Anyway, I hope all is well and have a safe trip back home Lee! Max... My friend! Good luck and take good care of that beautiful dog we all love so much! I love it when he's swimming!
Saul yes it's been planned for since before even starting RUclips. The Sooner we can start making some money though the sooner Lee can come home to us!
I thought it may have been planned for a while after watching the Q&A when Max noted how he had saved way more than Lee, and then tried to excuse by him being a paramedic. It seemed to me that equal partners should contribute equally. Maybe Max could clarify his position for me. Thanks.
Where are you going to work?
A busy pub I used to work at back in Ontario : )
Add that to the Q&A😜
You both are such beautiful souls ♡
And I'm so excited to go along with you on your future travels 😊
Aww thanks Christine, glad to have you along for the adventure : )
I've been enjoying watching you guys, it's been awesome. Al be watching for more
Could you guys do a go fund me
Nani XoXo I dont think we would feel comfortable doing that. But the Patreon page is kind of similar in that you can contribute to our travels and videos, the difference being that it shows you are doing it as a thank you for our content. The link is in the top comment 😊
Open up a GoFundMe account and let us become part of the adventure.
Rick we just wouldnt feel comfortable doing a go fund me. We have started a Patreon account (see top comment) and we like this avenue of payment better as it allows people that appreciate our content to contribute to our ongoing videos whilst being apart of our exclusive Patreon community 😊
You need to get comfortable! I don't think you understand how much you two inspire people, myself included. You are truly goals. You are showing people a way of life that many of us had NO IDEA. You bring so much pleasure and insight into life. You can't put a price on that. People value you. Let them show you :)
I agree... U guys are so lucky to show work zombies like us how to live our lives...please dont let it get ruined... Start a go fund me... Think of it like a startup
Respect
Subscribed and liked videos in the hopes of helping you guys out, hope everything continues on this awesome journey!
Awesome idea:) Work a couple of months save up some money and then go back to traveling!!! Sounds like a great plan!! Bring on some more awesome videos!!
do you get paid retroactively for the views and subscribers you've already accumulated?
Nope, unfortunately not Shelby!
We’ll miss you lee but glad your taking a break to work so you guys will have more videos and adventures in the long run!!
Hi Guys,
