My name is Matthew and I live in a van. I lost my job due to "cut backs" from the pandemic of 2020 and decided to seriously restructure my life. I am also a single dad who needed to find a solution that would allow me to remain in my daughter's life and plan for her future. After tons of research into #vanlife, I knew it was for me.
From March 2021 until October 2021 I spent my days building out my Chevrolet Express 2500, which came to be known as "Lucky" and as of October 18, 2021 I have been living in Lucky full time.
The build was done with almost no experience on my end and I used the one incredible tool I had at my disposal - the internet - to learn what I needed to build Lucky into a very comfortable tiny home.
I have always had a bit of a passion for being in front of the camera and really enjoy capturing the world around us. This really played into how I was feeling after almost a year of working from home when I "commuted" from the bedroom to the couch. I was starting to feel extremely unhealthy, unmotivated and despondent. I HATED that, and that's not a word I like to throw around. This new lifestyle gives me opportunities I just didn't have before and I am so excited to be able to share it all with you.
I truly believe we all have the capabilities to turn our lives around, should we choose to do so - and if I can inspire you to shoot for something better then I have done a decent job and that will keep me going.
There is more to life than the consume, consume, spend, spend lifestyle I feel we have all been conditioned to follow and I just want to do the best I can for myself first and foremost. Our time is limited and I do not want to waste another second on a lifestyle that doesn't bring me joy!
Be Happy, Be Creative, Be Yourself and BE POSITIVE!
Penny was definitely the star tonight, what a character
Yea, that nearly silent meow is so funny. She’s darling.
Hi Matthew and penny she was so cute in this video just brilliant 👏 xx
I love how Penny is trying to steal the spotlight at the beginning of the the vlog😂 Such a sweetheart. ❤
I think Penny is getting even cuter 😻. It’s nice just to spend a relaxing, normal evening with you and Miss P🥰💞😘🏴☠️🍀
Penny is ADORABLE!!! Cute factor 10.
I love the way Penny watches you and talks to you. She has so much personality! She’s always got something to say.😂
2:58 ...LOOK how attentive PRETTY Penny seems to be!?🤔😳 ...LUV that girl!👍🤗💖🐱. The sign LOOKS GREAT on the drawer!🙌
Penny behind you: Ummmm excuse me? Me! how about me?! you can talk to that other thing any old time - as you do. 🤣🤣 I just hope that one day, someone looks at me the way Penny looks at you 😉❤
Penny is always in the video somewhere...tonight she let her Diva OUT! Especially with the orange fishy. Really, it is Penny's world...we just get to orbit it. Thanks for taking us along with you, Matthew and reminding us that there is nothing wrong with dancing to the beat of your own drummer.
Hello to Matthew and Penny from the groundhog capital of Pennsylvania!
Keep us informed. Oh, the suspense ... shadow or not ?
It was Penny’s night tonight. The star of the show. Love ya 💜
Mathew, I just want to keep it brief and simple and honest, thank you for entertaining me. 🙏
Penny is such a cutie pie😹🥰she luvs her daddy🥰
Awww look how Penny is looking at you , she is so sweet and she loves you so much ❤
Penny always looks happy. Having a quiet night is always needed! You always provide quality content. Love it.
Nothing wrong with simple Matthew... and Penny is just soooo cute!!
Pro tip for people with short fingernails: I bought a pair of Red Cross (the brand, not the charity) splinter tweezers with narrow tips.
They're good for a multitude of uses. Like peeling tape backing.
And they don't take up much room.
I had a job where I used box cutters and exacto knives daily. I got used to using them as my fingernails 😂
Pennys ready for bed, the time she gets you all to herself for hours 😊 so sweet
Everyone needs a laid back evening once in awhile. It was relaxing. Have a good night Matthew and ms Penny.❤
You opened the door Matthew! Penny will drop that fish on your nose or forehead just as you start to drift off to sleep & are in a dream of dreams! Penny will give you an innocent 😮 look then meow so sweetly you’ll just stay awake another hour petty that beautiful bird killing feline!
Happy & Safe journey.
Hi Matthew. Where's Amber lately? She must be hanging out somewhere else. I miss your interactions.
@@007nadineL I've actually had this thought that this year's story arc, where he talks about the loves in his life is going to end up with the reveal that he and Amber are engaged. On the other hand stretching that out for a year doesn't seem likely.
Love Penny. ♥♥♥♥♥
Penny,Penny,Penny❤❤ I could watch you play with her all day ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Glad you kept my sign as long as you did. Been watching you since the start. Keep on rocking Matthew.
Still have it, safe and sound in the drawer 😊
I love that shirt ❤🥰
Yes!!!
Me too!
Simple chill evenings are nice. Penny was the absolute star of this vlog 😻
Onwards & Upwards
Much love 🤗 🤗
Awe, Penny, loved her sitting behind you, “Um dad, excuse me, I’m right here!” 😂 She certainly seemed very vocal and wanting attention, def stole the show in this one 😊 It was quite nice watching a quiet, relaxing evening in your tiny home on wheels. Loved it ❤Also loved the colour of the Dixxon!
As a long ago Color Consultant, those colors were spot on his. Really shows off how handsome Matt is.❤️
You two make a great team. She was wanting her attention for sure. :-) And snacks. LOL You look relaxed and so does Penny. Y'all are ready to chillax and rest. Goodnight you two. Oh how funny - get that thing Penny! LOL
Penny’s so cute. She’s behind you watching and trying to get your attention. ❤❤ She wants treats.😊
And then more pats!
Every day or evening chores vlog was fun. Love how Penny got so aggressive with that 🐟. Living her best life 💚☘️💚
Hello to Mr Matthew and miss Penny. ❤ Happy February..
33:00 ...U GET THOSE DEAD FISH, good girlllllll PRETTY Penny!👍🤗💖😹 ...LOL!😆😂
Penny stars in It is A Van Life Evenning 😂 😊👍🫶🍀
If you make that water-pik thing with salt water, it will clean your teeth even better than plain water. Just be sure to use bright white unprocessed salt, like Mediterranean sea salt. For that amount of water it should only require a teaspoon or so of salt. Warming up the water will help the salt dissolve, and then you can let it all cool down before using.
Youve won the award for my spotting a youtuber brushing their teeth...glad to see youre keeping up with the good habits😅
Dang....Penny bringing out her inner she cat predator side and showing that fish who's boss. I hope to have some laid back vanlife time in the future as I just started my van hunt. Wish me luck.
I'm sitting here like, "Pet Penny, pet Penny" hahahaha
I think you are hilarious!! So much fun to watch and hear you. I can be in the worst mood. And you always cheer me up with your chitter chatter. God bless you Mat. You are one of a kind! Big hugg❤
😃
My Oh My - - - Penny is such a sweetheart
The van is looking so fresh!! And Penny we LOVE your adorableness!!!
I love penny , she is really cute ❤. She stole the spotlight for sure.
Good evening Matthew and Penny First off, nice job on the tape removal - haha... It really is fun seeing sweet Penny in the forefront during your video. .Love and hugs.
I thought for sure I was going to hear a “now everybody just take it easy“ when you entered the van and said “ jacket off” 😂🤭
Penny sure is determined to get fed..lol
Penny is precious... please listen to her. Dry food will help to keep Penny overweight. You don't need to live in 'Sticks and Bricks' to keep a cat happy and healthy 🤗 I also noticed (in a previous video) that you gave Penny the world with that blanket on the passenger seat... One of her ways of telling you that she's unhappy, when the passenger seat is cluttered, is by coming up to you, when you're behind the wheel and meowing.
Do not forget Penny needs her ears cleaned and teeth, too as she gets older. A little dab of edible oil on a q tip can do the job. Also as you age and things change, where will you be staying? Keep your eyes open and you may find a place that is free and great to park. Walmart's in some places are shutting down overnight parking. Just saying. Keep safe and putting out these cute fun vids. You are very entertaining!!
Good evening Matthew and Penny.
Penny is soooooooo cuuuuute
I want someone to look at me the way that cat looks at u. Lol excellent content bro. As u do
Penny is the Queen of the Castle (Van)! Hope you both have a wonderful night! Keep smiling!
Decorating & winding down with Matthew & PRETTY Penny!🙌 ...very NICE video/vlog, LUV'D it👍🤗💖😇
Went to Walmart to stock up and now I’m at Cracker Barrel for the night.
Keep warm and cozy!😊
Another great one. Penny is such a lucky girl.
Matthew that is the prettiest shirt I’ve ever seen you wear.
Penny and her quiet meows.
What a beautiful chunky cat you have.
A tip @Matthew for your waterpik I learned from my own mistakes, take the tip off when done usi g as they break easily. All it takes is having it fall over onto the counter or into the sink bowl. I've had 4 break in the past. Also, I cover the charhing port with electrical tape to prevent any water to leak in as it rusts & ruins the port. Yeah, I've had 2 die on me from the water.
Run some white distilled vinegar mixed with water thru the waterpik every 2 weeks to keep it clean.
Penny saying but Dad I been good😻
I know you'll follow the analytics, but I like the 30 minute, shorter vlogs.
Also for all you new viewers, hit that subscribe button. You know you want to!
Great ending. GO PENNY. #PENNYDESTROYSDEADFISH
This was my absolute favorite episode!!! I kept saying those bottles make the best pee bottles too!!! But the whole general feel and coziness of your evening routine with the sweetest Penny was the best. Thank you thank you !!!!!😻😻😻😻
Your new haircut makes you look like a young lad!! Thanks so much for sharing your evening routine. I just loved how animated Miss Penny was this evening. And again, another wonderful vlog!!! ❤❤
Penny is such a love 🥰
Thks Matthew 🤪 always enjoy… 🥰🐈
Goodnight Matthew and Penny, sleep well.
A lovely xx calm video 😊😊
It's going to be nearly 70°F here tomorrow. That's definitely warm for February in middle Tennessee.... It won't stay warm. But it'll make a nice change.
So much bunting! Penny must want some attention. That or more food. ^^
When I waterpick, I do it over the sink and just let the used water drain out. Too much information, I know, but it works…
That is, the amount of times....good for you, and more thanks to all for making the everyday interesting...dont want to pick favorites, but youre up near the top😊
Watching you do spring cleaning in Winter reminds me that I need to do it too.
I’d save room for Brooklyn’s future creations of which there will be many ☺️
My Penny was watching your Penny and was very jealous when she saw Penny's toy.
You are a good guy and I appreciate that very much. Thanks!

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
👋 Matthew and Penelope
Slow days Or fast I always enjoy your channel. I can't tell you enough.❤
You're a good kid❤
Can't wait to see what we Where we go next take care....😊Bye-bye
Penny says, Hey Matthew, pay attention to me. Pet me, love me, feed me. It's evening, it's my time.
Love the ASMR with Penny at the end. My cat can't wait for Penny's next vlog :)
I love this Dixxon color scheme, which one is it??
You need to start posting the name of _today’s Dixxon_ .
(commenting as I watch)
Good spot for the 'on & up' sign... since it's so low now, it suggests there's a lot of "UPWARD" available to take advantage of... helps increase the meaning of the positive suggestion of the sign.👍🏼
(back to the vid)
Ya could put the bandana on the back door over the pink foam... the pink will really help make the green pop and stand out a bit.🤔
(back to the vid)
oops... gotta run.👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦
Here in Tulsa Oklahoma it was 74degrees today. To warm for this time of year
Beautiful Dixxon!
Great video
Think I would have drilled a couple little holes and used screws. You must have Velcro around that needs to be used up. Seems like cute Penny is more out going with Stella in cat heaven.
Penny is so cute
Nice vlog Matthew💜
Penny is the best😊
Not that I will be able to see it, but if you do another St Paddy's livestream, maybe you can tuck the ends of the bandana in the top of the cabinet and display it there.
Pin the bandannas to your curtains
Snickers...it looked like Penny was wearing a babushka scarf!
Loved this!
Love the color of your shirt
Your cat is very pretty
Only you could make water picking your teeth entertaining🤣
Nite nite
Several of our local WM have washroom front and back.
I like your hear cut and iPenny is so cute
Hi Matthew
Hi Alan
Ohhh, that's some creaky snow! Must be cold!
Thank you, sir.💚💚💚💚
Hey Matt , PLEASE check out minute 17:35 - 17:38 on your video ... Penny's paw slips between the handle ... while she recovers it this time ... I would hate it if she didn't next time.
“Some peoples kids”. May not be politically correct but I would wear it. 😂😂😂😂. I have all your current hoodies in fact Im wearing one now. My way of supporting your channel.
thanks..
