I like that you show that things don’t always go as plan, The lighter not working, the battery on your remote controll died, and I feel you about the coffee ☕️ no shower, but you still enjoy your weekend trip, you still enjoy “ God‘s Glory “ your like me, you love the simple things, now God has blessed me with other things, but my mother and the Lord taught me long time ago, to appreciate the simple things and be thankful for them 🩵🩵🩵
Sister… it’s against the law to go to Tim Horton’s for coffee & not get a donut! 😉 I always love when you take us to Banff! So beautiful! Glad your daughter could go too - her hair is as beautiful as yours! Your van is so cozy & well kept. You are so organized! Thanks Mai ~ God bless you❣️
Oh hahahaha its too sweet sister, dont want to be part of the Metformin club haha 😂 I love Banff too! Thats also why my daughter came she only went because its Banff haha. Thank you sister!
Love your serene videos & seemingly contentment with your life! Hoping to get there ... and give up the thoughts of how others think life should look like ...
As always, another great adventure in the books. I got my bed and mattress installed today, and my build is coming along nicely. Canada has some big moose! Glad the van adventures are going well.
I van camp a lot and my cooker ignites itself without the need for a lighter. Also as you have a power unit you can get a low wattage single electric heating element. I could never survive without coffee lol. X
Years ago, my husband and I nearly bought a flower shop in Canmore. We ended up in Calgary but we had many adventures in the mountains. I know exactly how you feel when you are there.
I enjoy your videos of Japan also my little sister goes there quite often She is a shinrin yoku instructor in Canada and goes all over the world I am so proud of her H
Another relaxing and wonderful video. The mountains are beautiful. I have only been to Canada once when I was very young to visit family. I would love to go now that I am older so I can appreciate its beauty. Thank you for sharing. 😊😊
I love your new colours in your van I have a stow and go but I am 74 with need for knee replacement I am very happy that there is campsite open in the winter in Banff I am in Sylvan’s lake so not too far I might try it this winter I have a jackery 500 Maybe I could do it
Thank you! Oh sorry to hear about your knee, praying that all goes well. I love Banff! We went there close to Sylvan Lake to see the ice bubbles two years ago. Take care my dear! 🤍🙏🥰
@ yes I know you went to Abraham lake I saw your video I am following you for a while I am so happy you are back Hope you have a wonderful winter in beautiful Alberta Maybe we will meet one day Who knows
Those are Elk. Rocky mountain elk. A larger species of deer family. Would lov to visit Banff someday tho i drive thru some beautiful mountain areas and seems some of the prettiest is in Southern Colorado!!!!! We hav some craggy mountains down here. Myself i keep one of those small coleman match cylinders cases full (bout1"x 3" usually orange) and in with my stove just in case!!!!
Oh yeah! Those are elk! I knew it, there’s another term for them. Yes noted on the matches, lesson learned! Oh well seems I am reallu relearning this its been two years hahaha thank you dear! See you next week! 🤍🥰🎉
For those match holder case boxes ,coghlan and uco make them too and generic. Usually advertised to keep matches dry. Any way i keep one inside each stove just in case cause cases are small.
Great emergency kit! I just noticed that you have a Sienna. I have a 2021 Hybrid AWD. I can not remove the passenger seats but can fold up as you have done. Ill have to put Banff on my list. Its gorgeous there! I have seen a camping coffee pot that is supposed to make excellent HOT coffee. I can't remember now where i saw it. Thank you, I always learn something from you. We jad our first good snow at home this past week. Its funny though.. thats when i start to get "cabin fever" and want to camp😮.
Yes I love Banff! Yeah I need an electric kettle so I dont miss morning coffee in the mountain next time! Thank you for watching see you again next week. Would love to stay in a cabin too with snow, oh my so relaxing .
Thanks for the tips.. loved the trip…I took notes as I’m a newbie n need all the help that I can get also as a suggestion, have some matches stored in ur car, take ur Bible so u can read out in that beautiful environment n I noticed u wear fine jewelry, I suggest using fashion Jewelry if u must wear jewelry when going camping.. u never know whose out there watching in a gas station, parking lot or shopping area… best not to arouse the animal instinct in a person no matter how safe we feel.. thank u again for sharing Banff.. it’s a beautiful place.. I don’t know if u watch Van City Life with chrome n Cruze.. they live in Vancouver n he travels thru all those areas.. mayb u can meet up with him 😄 continue to enjoy those beautiful weekends.. someday I’ll be out there… I have a few security issue to square off with my Van b4 trying a Weeknd away from NYC.. stay safe 🙏🏼🌹
Love it! Yes I am a fan of Chrome but im shy to meet up haha he was here in Calgary two years ago I was supposed to go to the meet up but I chickened out. Haha Thank you for the tips will take a note of that, I appreciate it! See you on the next one! 🤍🤍🤍
@@LifewithMaiOfficial awwww don’t be shy.. u can say u came by to check out his new business n his merchandise 😄.. I’m soooo dying to go to Vancouver n meet Cruze n him.. n to go to Tim Hortons’😄😄 they don’t have any by the NYC area..

The mountains! 🏔️ Sooo beautiful! So, is there a Plan B for making coffee the next time you need a Plan B? I would not be able to buy coffee at a donut shop! Reasons: 1) 🍩 2)🍩 maybe 3)🍩 😅
You inspire me😊 I just bought an rv ; really old but works! Have you travelled in Finland?? It is very beautiful country; good roads everywhere and peaceful❤ Welcome camping here!
Really awesome scenarios and will never get bored just enjoying the beautiful sights. Thanks for sharing with us Mai. Btw, when will we get a chance to see your face and hear your voice?
Hello, awww my vlog is a silent vlog meant to be a haven of peace and relaxation so im afraid not anytime soon 🙏🤍🥰 Thanks for dropping by,pls feel free to come back when you need a dose of relaxation okay? Thanks dear!
Hello...love your minimalistic setup... thanks for the list of products....do you have an Amazon Page with all your products you've bought & use, listed?
WOW, the views are amazing. If you have the desire and it is possible will you go to Victoria, B.C. I went there in 2019 for a short stay to see a concert and stayed by the water. It was the most memorable and beautiful vacation. I would love to see it again, even through another's eyes. As always...thank you for taking us along with you❤
There are campsites that are open in winter too and I always go to powered sites in winter. You can also use the I Overlander app for summer camping, there are great recommendations there. 🤍🥰
I only do this on weekends so i bathe either at home or at campsite. When i travelled long term like when I went to BC, i bathe in-community centres, and truck stops.
What a waste of time & energy I wouldn’t be camping in Banff solo anyway! Especially as a woman! Too many stories about unsafe environment in this place. At first I started watching as I thought you lived in your van, full time. As just a weekend thing I believe it’s a waste of time .. 😂 Good luck to you !
Weekend is more than enough for me. You know studies show that you get refreshed by a few days of break than longer ones? Been camping in Banff for years now and never had a single bad experience, those stories are probably very isolated. I tried living in my van for 30 days two years ago but my health became an issue so i still did this only on weekends to satisfy my cravings for this kind of lifestyle. Thanks for visiting my channel though, i appreciate your feedback. 🤍🥰🙏
Sorry you feel that way, thats the thing Im not portraying any image. This is me… nothing more nothing less, but I will remember to take it off for safety as suggested by a subscriber. I appreciate the concern. 🤍🥰
Pls skip to 16:11 for the safety tips. Thank you! ❤
@@LifewithMaiOfficial in my opinion, a fire extinguisher( I commmented in a last video) and a minitaser?🤣
I like that you show that things don’t always go as plan, The lighter not working, the battery on your remote controll died, and I feel you about the coffee ☕️ no shower, but you still enjoy your weekend trip, you still enjoy “ God‘s Glory “ your like me, you love the simple things, now God has blessed me with other things, but my mother and the Lord taught me long time ago, to appreciate the simple things and be thankful for them 🩵🩵🩵
Amen! God is good! 🤍🙏🥰
Just want to tell you that I love your channel so positive , optimistic. It motivates me to do it.
You can do it! Have fun and enjoy your adventures 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you Mai for taking us along on your adventure. 🙏🫂💖👋 See you again on your next trip! God bless you for sharing your PEACE...🙏
I am so glad you enjoyed it! 🤍 Thanks for coming along! 🙏🤍

You can do it too… its so liberating 🤍🥰
As always, another great adventure in the books. I got my bed and mattress installed today, and my build is coming along nicely. Canada has some big moose! Glad the van adventures are going well.
Oh are those elk or moose haha i agree they are big wouldn’t be comfortable going out in my car beside them haha
@@LifewithMaiOfficial hmm probably elk. I only have deer here, so not as familiar with them as I should be.
Same here not sure what they were called, regardless they are gorgeous right?
I van camp a lot and my cooker ignites itself without the need for a lighter. Also as you have a power unit you can get a low wattage single electric heating element. I could never survive without coffee lol. X
Ikr? Coffee is life! 🤍
Love your videos & the music is perfect!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! 🤍
Salamat Ate. Another relaxing video. Loved the longer video. 😊
Yay salamat sissy! I appreciate it! God bless! 🤍🤍🤍

Hello there from Cali🤗 🐕🐩🐕🐩🐕
Hello! Welcome to my channel! 🤍🤍
You can clean your little cooker out real good and pour some water and heat what you cooking your eggs in you can heat water in that little pan
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try that next time. 🤍
WOW, the views are amazing. If you have the desire and it is possible will you go to Victoria, B.C. I went there in 2019 for a short stay to see a concert and stayed by the water. It was the most memorable and beautiful vacation. I would love to see it again, even through another's eyes. As always...thank you for taking us along with you❤
Oh yeah Victoria BC is amazing! I have a video where I stayed there and slept in a parking lot of a hotel haha
@@LifewithMaiOfficial I look forward to it and thank you for your reply❤
My pleasure thanks again for watching! 🤍
I know i am late for this video. There is a small collapsible kettle on Amazon or Temu for hot water.
Thank you so much for the tip! 🤍 I will make sure to check it out. Happy New Year! 🤍🥰

I used to place rechargeable motion detector flood lights around the car. If animal or person walks by, it lights them up.
Oh thats a great idea! I will steal that thank you!🤩🙏🤍

How do you know where to go each weekend, I'm nervous but love camping. I have always been at campgrounds as a summer seasonal.
There are campsites that are open in winter too and I always go to powered sites in winter.
You can also use the I Overlander app for summer camping, there are great recommendations there. 🤍🥰
Can you tell me where you got the light that looks like a ceiling fan?
Hello it was gifted to me, I will try to ask for the link okay?
Can you tell me what kind of bed set up you have and where it came from it looks so comfy
Here you go

@LifewithMaiOfficial thank you so much and your personality is just beautiful
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. 🤍🤍🤍
The earth is so vast
Indeed and the mountains are majestic! 🤍
Where do you shower/bathe? I would have a hard time with out bathing every day
I only do this on weekends so i bathe either at home or at campsite. When i travelled long term like when I went to BC, i bathe in-community centres, and truck stops.
They are called Reindeer !!!!
Hahaha Rudolf! 🤩🤩🤩
Are you in Canada. I travel on my rv. Next year want to do Canada. Best month to start my journey?
Yay! You will love it here in Fall! Late summer I would say! Where in Canada will you be visiting?
@@LifewithMaiOfficialQuebec and Toronto❤
Oh my you will love Quebec City! Can wait to hear about your adventures.
@ maybe i can meet up with you for coffee or tea. My treat. Heck maybe lunch😂
Sure lets see! But im in Alberta, Quebec is too far hahaha
What a waste of time & energy
I wouldn’t be camping in Banff solo anyway! Especially as a woman! Too many stories about unsafe environment in this place.

You wear nice jewelry and one day you will forget and someone won't. Not the image of a down to earth van lifer.
Sorry you feel that way, thats the thing Im not portraying any image. This is me… nothing more nothing less, but I will remember to take it off for safety as suggested by a subscriber. I appreciate the concern. 🤍🥰
You sound a bit jealous of this woman’s jewelry. Go buy your own😢
🥰🤗🤍
I hope you don't sleep w/your door open?
Oh absolutely not! I triple check always! Thank you!🤍🤍🤍
