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.
BIG Thanks to the mechanics for taking time to fix Emis van!!!!
We don't want more van repairs, but Kelly votes for more hotel stays. She was loving all that space to be chased in. 😊
As a matter of fact, I like the van repairs. I like knowing how her and Chrome and others face the challenge of breaking down. All the options so that when I start my van life I may know what to do when my van breaks down and the options I may have. And as for Kelly, loving the space, she is outside A lot more than she is in the van. And outside has a lot more room than a hotel room.
I'm glad your home got fixed. Loved Miss Kelly running around.
Kelly is happy anywhere as long as she's with beautiful Emi🌹😻
I think Kelly was loving the soft bed . I LOVE your hair cut, it looks so good on you! Glad your repair was quick! Safe travels❤
Just because we are vehicle dwellers doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy the occasional night in a nice hotel.
Pets are worth any kind of trouble ❤
Stay an extra night if you can. You both deserve it!
I had to come back and comment that… your hair looks great! I really like it, I hope you do too.
I told her the same! Looks great!!
Wow and they even picked you up! Excellent service. Glad you got it all dealt with. 😊💕
Shoulder-length hair is beautiful on you. It makes you look even younger. I'm so glad the repairs were fairly quick with "no surprises." Congrats on being back on the road!
Yes it does make Em look younger!
I love the hair cut!! 👌
Miss Kitty was one happy cat in the hotel!
It looks as though your hotel stay was nice and relaxing. So pleased the van was fixed quickly
I so loved watching Kelly playing hide and seek with you!! She’s becoming quite the star!! I love how she adjusts to different environments so well. I’d love to have a cat I could take everywhere. Fantastic video!!
Love the hair. So happy for you that AAMCO could fix it fast and get you to your appointment on time. Glad you could take advantage of the pool and hot tub too. Safe travels ahead.
This was definitely wonderful news on the transmission repair. Your hair looks wonderful, very brave of you to cut it. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Kitty really seams to like the TV..
Glad you got your van fixed! Hope it didn’t cost too much for you! Yes those guys were really accommodating in Kamloops, things always seem to work themselves out. Loved your clip in that room where you stayed Kitty was loving it! You know I really like your hair cut, it really suits you, because you can still put it up, or have it down! Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! Love you and Kitty! Be safe on your travels now! 😘😺🙏🏻♥️🧚🏽
Your hair looks good, loved how free Kelly looked. Nice hotel and so happy you're on the road again. Happy, happy..🎉 🐈
Yeh! All sorted. Love the hair, by the way.😊🏴
Emi, a suggestion, take advantage of your subscribers and make a list of emergency contacts… people that could help you in different areas… I guess that could be a bit scary. But anyway, if you need help when you are around Victoria (VI), dont hesitate to ask me, I have a place for you to park, a shower, laundry machine, or just a ride somewhere.
So happy for you Emi ! Boy that was quick . Thank God for great Mechanics !
I'm glad everything worked out for you and Miss Kitty.
Love the hair!!!❤ I'm glad you got the van fixed and I'm sure the hotel helped mend mental health stresses. Sending my love ❤ fellow Canadian, boondocker ambulance build. ❤️🐾❤️🐾
Emi, you should treat your self to a hotel day once a month , when we visited our relatives in southwest michigan , they would book a 2 day visit to a motel/ hotel once a month that had a pool & hot tub, when we went with them we could look out the windows of tbe pool room and watch it snow. So relaxing and such a great time to unwind and set aside the happenings of our everyday life. So thankful your van was fixed in a timely manner.
Kamloops guy here, that shop is one of the good ones 👌 any amount of money I give them i feel good about the work in return 👍
So happy for you and Kelly to find out that it was just the seal and not a major repair! I love the part in the hotel chasing Kelly around the room that was so fun😂
YES I DO LIKE THE SHORTER HAIR.
Yeeee Emi and Kelly on the road again
You faced a challenge and figured it out!!! Proud.
Kitty doesn’t want to get caught she needs mor cow bell and hotel stays
I'm so happy that it all worked out for you both.
Your hair cut looks great. To have thick beautiful hair like you...
Safe travels to you both! 🧡
You did a great job with your hair cut & color. Thankful that it wasn't a serious van repair ❤. See you soon.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who cuts my own hair. It's curly so I can get away with an oops or two.
"On the road again" yeah!❤
Wow 🐈 beautiful cat 🎒 good luck take care ❤❤❤❤
Great job Amco!! Good to see you happy and back in your home. 👍👍
Love your hair cut!!! So glad you’re getting your van fixed. Nice change of scenery for you and Kelly, staying in the hotel. 😊
The van was fixed!! Whether you live in an apartment, house or van, unexpected things happen. You deal with it, thank God it's over, and move on. Have a great Thanksgiving Emi & sweet Kelly.
Your hair looks great! Glad the van got fixed and you and Kelly are back home! 😄😻
So glad you got your van repaired so quickly. I know Kelly and you are glad to be back home in the van. Love your hair cut. 🥰
Hello Emi, that was a nice video. Love to see Ms Kelly playing around. Wish you well on your appointment. See you on the next!

Rollin right along! Onward you go.... Nice haircut.
Love your hair. Looks great on you.
So pleased you got your van sorted quickly and your hair looks lovely ❤
Both of you and kelly look relaxed😊☕️🍰✌️✨️
You were so blessed that your van was done quickly 😊 Loving the hair, it really suits you ☺️
Aamco is a franchise company, I'm really glad to see how nicely and thoughtfully they treated their precious customer Emi. Because they are a specialist, they had, or could quickly get, the parts needed, and they have their work down to a science. So glad this happened by a bigger city. I'm really agog at how quickly they were able to handle this problem. I would feel safe calling that company if needed. ❤
Woohoo, long showers, bubble baths and not having to make too many decisions in a day. Relax and enjoy Emi and Kelly.❤
Happy thanksgiving gorgeous ❤would love to share some turkey with you and Kelly 🐈
To fix the squeaking cabinet you can put a piece of felt between the cabinet and the wall. When I build vans I put felt on the backs of the cabinet that touch the walls, and they never have any squeaking.
I watch you everyday, the hotel was a nice change. But, you’re always awesome.
I'm so happy it's done for you.
Keeping a positive attitude!!!! makes it just a bump in the road, glad you two 😺 are back home.
I love your hair ❤. That length looks really good
What an awesome outcome. Love your hair. Embrace the gray!
I've had a bad morning with my own transportation going wrong and the situation exhausting me. I was just wishing for something to help me forget and I'm so happy you have a new video up. I love your videos. Vicarious hot tubbing! So glad your transmission leak was fixed that quickly!
Yes, love your hair cut! Thanks for showing us your stay in the motel. I have never seen a indoor pool at a motel before, just outside. It looked soooo relaxing! ❤
Yay, so happy you had a quick van repair from a good shop 👍
So happy you found a good shop to get your van fixed and yes, love your new hair cut.
Love the hair cut!
Glad you got back on the road so quickly. Kelly is so chill. My cats hate hotels.
So happy everything worked out and you had a shop recommendation from a viewer. Continued safe travels for you and Kitty. Love your hair❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Emi, happy everything worked out so well. I loved watching Miss Kelly 🐾🩵 having the Zoomies in the hotel room.
You had a little unexpected break and a warm jacuzzi.
Safe travels to Vancouver 👣♥️🐾

Hello 👋 Emi , it’s hard living in a van especially on those days it decides to break down, enjoy your stay at the hotel and don’t stress no one can keep things from happening . My sons car broke down and I’m telling him the same things,congratulations on your van being fixed 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad to see you and Kelly are back on the road. Love your hair!
I'm so happy for you so far! Thank goodness this didn't happen when your foot was injured! And it happened close to where you could stay in a hotel with Kitty, and everything has just been falling in to place. Thank god it didn't happen in the back country!!!!

Happy everthing worked out for you
Glad all worked in your favor. Excellent customer service
So glad you and Miss Kitty are on the road again. 🎉
glad your van was an easy fix. love the shorter hair. have your thought about letting your grey grow out? i did this late last year and it's such a relief to not having to color it every month. i'm about 25% grey
I quit coloring when I reached 50% gray. Now I'm 75%-80% white and silver. Found my first gray hair on my 21st birthday. Had a gray forelock by age 25.
Good to see you back on the road
Wow you and kitty are enjoying the times been at the hotel . Kitty is enjoying the big space in the hotel
Take care and hopefully the van will be ready to go
Love your hair! Glad you are safely back on the road.
Your hair looks great! I’m glad you got some hot tub time, you deserve it. If you’re relaxed, Miss Kelly is relaxed.💞
Hi Emi, omg, Kellie is so precious(coming from another cat owner), I want one just like her next time.. ❤ lol! I do love my Kitty, don’t get me wrong!!
Oh my gosh your hair looks beautiful make sure you look 10 years younger
Miss Kelly looked so happy stretched out on the hotel bed. Emi, your hair looks awesome.
