- Vanlife travel in British Columbia Canada - On my way to visit family and I came across a store that WAY overcharged me. Usually I just let stuff like that happen but I HAD to say something this time. And you'll never guess what we end the video with...

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!

I always love when we get to see Mom. She gives you such good hugs. Great trip. $17.99 for water. Yikes. Glad you went back to check. ❤❤
"My 'Something About Mary' hairdo" had me in stitches. 😂😂
The vlog was so good she watched it twice!💯♥️💋🤌🥳🎈😍
Ah..the lake..happy place!😊😊
Loved this !!!! Your parents are awesome xx
1st time I went to Bingo, I won and gave my mom the money spent on cards, bought my 4 siblings summer shorts and tops and had $$ left over for me. It was a prize of $25 in 1976. When a bottle of pop was 17 cents. I remembered when it went up to 25 cents, I swore I'd stop drinking pepsi. 😂😂
I remember walking an extra Mile to go to a further store that sold chocolate bars for 0.09 cents instead of the 10 cents at grocery store closer to us.
It's so good see your videos w cousin or Amber and beautiful Brooklyn, but with Mom and Dad are simply THE BEST ones. Thanks for wonderful video Mathew!!!!😊
I ♥️ VanlifePLUS vlogs!💯!!!
Hi Leopard girl👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽
So do I! Guess what? I don't think I have had a headache in a few days. It almost feels strange.
Me toooooo❤❤❤❤
Ditto that!😊
@@kathywrightjohnson6804Maybe my prayers are working or did you ask the universe for good health?😊
Slocan always looks beautiful no matter what season and she gives off an air of complete serenity!🥰
Glad you are spending quality time with Mom and Dad. Bingo!!!!!
Love the waterfalls❤❤❤❤❤
Me too 😊
Mamma Allen's hair is looking fantastic.
I’m glad you went back and asked because I was so shocked with what they charged you for that lol
I was absolutely aghast !!!!
Always great to see Mom and Dad!
When a flannel over a t- shirt is just right, we call that winter here in Texas.
And I would still be roasting!
Hi Matthew and Penney
It’s some quality content to see Matthew learn how to play Bingo. We did Bingo with the adults as kids and they were so serious about Bingo. Like so serious that the fire alarm would go off and people would bring their cards with them outside. Great video Matthew. Have a good week, supposed to start getting warm tomorrow. Glad that you got the water price worked out. See you you in the next one bud. HI PENNY!!!!
As the old saying goes, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". So glad you went back to ask about the water charge. Woo hoo
“ A flannel on top of a tee shirt is all you need “. Sounds like a great line to a country western song.
🎶
You cheered me up this evening....I used to go to BINGO with my Grandma and you brought back warm memories for me. Thanks for the uplifting video.
Hi Mathew and miss Penny and to the rest of the family.❤
Good evening Matthew and Miss Penny.
Hi, Matthew and Penny from San Francisco like your blog keep them coming.❤😊
Hi,
Love your vlogs, especially viewing the lake near your folks' house. It reminds me of when we owned a boat and camped on an island in Lake George in New York State. You had the water, islands , and the mountains.
Bingo some of the best last memories with my mom. Love seeing you with your family always a great time. It's the little things that fill the heart.
Much love 🤗 🤗
Your Mom and you are color matching. 😊
Hi Matthew and Penny! Love how you have so much fun with your parents! Keep smiling! Quality content!
That was so sweet of Camp coffee shop to put a place to hold your cup while you open the door!😁
Omg I saw that and thought the same thing what a great invention, they should be everywhere, so simple but great, how is this not a thing wverywhere😂
Hi Matthew!!!! Great vlog today. Thanks for sharing.
❤❤❤❤ hooray you won
Ahhh... 🥺 Bingo memories with my momma in law (rip). Another great video! Thank you ♡
Bingo! I used to call bingo at a retirement home. I also love to play.
Love when you visit mom and dad..❤❤
I cannot play bingo. I get frustrated more every time somebody else wins.😂😂😂😂
Sorry I’m late Matthew🥴. Nice to see your Mom & Dad again. Think I’ve got you beat - I haven’t played Bingo since I was about 8 ( and you know how looooong ago that was🤦🏼♀️). Loved that moment of absolute quiet (in the Bingo intermission). Just like the Earth is sighing at the end of a long day 🥰💞😘🏴☠️🍀
When I was a young teenager I would accompany my mum to bingo, didn't play, just watched and looked forward to goodies during the intermission. However I would always go outside for a while during the intermission as well. I think it's how we introverts handle being around people, we need breaks!😊
Hey Mathew 👋 and Penny love the Video from start to finish Your parents are sooo 😎 I have never played Bingo in my life 🫣😂❤take care Stay Safe be Happy love seeing you smile 😊❤❤
Hello Matthew and Penny. Never like to see an ambulance. Safe Travels.
Matthew you playing bingo with your parents bought back happy memories I used to play bingo with my late parents while on holiday in Mallorca 😊😊
That intro would have been sooo nice in glorious 4K
One day…..
good vid lots of fun and family enjoy the humour
A lot of supermarkets in Japan have _free water servers_ for people who want to fill’er’up.
They are also super filtered and reverse osmosis etc. etc. type servers.
People come in with 5 liter jugs….
All free.
Cad$1.99 for 11 litres of beautiful mountain water!♥️😋♥️😋♥️
Great. vlog, son. Always a bit unnerving to see myself. BINGO again tomorrow night, still time for you to get here for it!😂😄
Well I must say this was a TREAT!🤗 ...LUV seeing you, your Mom & your Dad sharing some 'BINGO' fun!🎉. Such a LOVELY little town, an EXCEPTIONAL view and a laid-back feel. Hello PRETTY Penny & the lovely Sheba!👋😺 ...take care U and blessings!👍💖😇☺️
Praise you sweet baby Cheesus for Matthew and his M-F uploads! I’m excited 😆
Your Dad looks great in his Dixon 😊. You too, Matthew 👌
Clickety click and two ducks. That is all I remember from Bingo night at the Legion in Banff. Beer was six dollars a jug.
I love your videos so much! ❤❤❤
Thank you Dee!
Isn’t it great to spend time with your mum and dad. Loved the small town bingo. I go once every few years with my SIL. Congrats on the win 🏆😁
That’s nuts to pay that much for water. I get reverse osmosis water 18 litres for $2.85 in Cambridge Ontario. I buy a plan every year, because my pets and household drink it. I have a water softener so you can’t drink that stuff.
Thanks to remind about subscribing as RUclips is doing it again. Cheers
It's great to spend time with family. I like that aspect of your journey... staying connected.
Nice shirt!!!
Could it be a Dixxon?😁
Enjoy the videos 🤩you mom is so cute. Have you ever thought of maybe screwing some Velcro to you cabinet to hold the ladder in just a thought
You can obtain filtered water by the gallon at most Walmarts. Have a beautiful day!
lovely to see your mum and dad Matthew just love bingo ❤ xx
Have fun my mom and father passed. And only child .. so I have soul family .. if u find people who love u at soul spirit level that's family have blast
How do you get 4 older people to cuss? Have the 5th one yell BINGO
Nailed it
😂😂😂😂😂😂
So nice to spend time with Mom and Dad! BINGO! lol
Always check your receipts!!!!
Your parents are wonderful!🎉 And funny. I see and hear the reason for who you are.
It's so beautiful where your parents live.
Silly question. Any Bigfoot sightings in your area?
I'm a believer. 😊
The Kootenays are supposed to be the source for Kokanee brand beer, which has featured Squatch in a lot of their tv ads. If you can find them, they are a hoot.
There's supposed to be some sasquatch somewhere in the mountains above Radium!
@christinamann3640 love this. I just attended the Bigfoot Conference in Grand Island Nebraska. I learned, but want more. Thanks for responding. 😀
Good Night Brooklyn and Miss Penny
🎉❤😊❤🎉
I am happy you checked. Water was going to be liquid gold.
I will be on my way to Burton for two months as of July 1 to dog /cabin sit. So so excited.!!! And the Canada Day parade lol lol
Beautiful area!
Oh, I absolutely love Nakusp! Also, your brother’s coffee shop is awesome! The Kootenays are one of my favourite places!
Hello Matthew and Penny 😊😊
Good evening Kathy, lovely to see you here sweetie!💞
You should use the truck bedliner spray paint on the ladder, so it has grip when it’s wet
Nice!
Glad you spoke up. Even BC should not be that pricey. Crisis averted.
You always give me a good laugh. Thanks
BC - bring cash, lol
OMG Bingo brings a bit of nostalgia for me with my Grandmother and Aunts back in Michigan. I wonder if we have one of those here in California. 🤔 I’m so going to find out. Enjoyed watching you with you parents. Super cute.
How did childhood bingo get so complicated? I had no idea what I watched, but your mom is a genius.
Hey Matthew and Penny and Mom and Sheba are Dad😊😊
Yu are the cool 😎 person I have seen van camping 🏕️ I really enjoy watching You're video 😊 I really love you're kitty 🐈
Hi Matthew that was just fantastic ❤❤❤❤thanks ❤❤❤❤enjoy your visit with your family ❤❤❤❤congratulations on your Bingo ❤❤
I don’t know if you’re back in Calgary this week, but it’s been rough. This huge feeder pipe in our water supply is broken, and we are all conserving water.
Short showers, delayed laundry, and breathing through our mouths on the crowded bus 😆
I love Bingo. Nice night out.😊
Ahh yeah been waiting for this 💚
Good evening sweetie, I hope you're having a a lovely evening!💞
Your parents have a very nice motorhome. Why do they not come visit you occasionally in it?
I don’t know
Perhaps sometime this summer if they watch your videos hint hint 😁
From what I've heard that little 4.8 you got is a very good little engine
B4....and after
I'm with you Matthew when you asked if they did that for fun 🤪 Im Native American and it's supposed to be our inate pass time, however it stresses me to the max to play BINGO when everyone else is just dobbing away with a rhythm that makes my head spin!!
Hi Matthew- Will you make another short video about Craze ( an update maybe )
When I have an update to provide I will include it in a future vlog
I just opened your donation Mike! Thank you, I will make sure it gets added to the fundraiser 🙏
So cool. I didnt know your parents were in the Slocan Valley.
I totally fell in love with New Denver when I first found it.
I'll keep my eye open for you next time I'm thru, in case your around
I thought I saw you going around that area, and I was wondering if you’d see each other 😄
Was thru there quickly last year@@christinamann3640
❤❤❤❤❤😊
Hi Mstt and Penny!! Ray from Wisconsin here.
Wow looks Like work BINGO ... My Goodness need to have your Game on ...😂😂😂
At work we have a bingo too. I work for an IT servicedesk and our bingo is with random user problems.
We run it every few months :p
Years ago my wife and I played bingo. Never, never talk to the blue haired ladies during play. They're way too serious and they get angry.
Back in the eighties that room would've been filled with cigarette smoke 😂
Hi Matthew
Hi Alan
I pay $2.00 for 20 litres of water in Williams Lake BC
thanks..
The Bingo Section Was Funny. The faces you made when you daubed the wrong number, I laughed so hard. Its good to see your parents having fun.
This was a good one! 😊
That liquor store was false advertising that flash sale.....I absolutely did not see The Flash for sale lol
😲$17.99 for 11 liters??? Here I pay 40¢ per gallon. I think it has gone up a little, but not that much. That's insane!
It was a mistake, Matthew got a refund.
I saw that, lol. Inflation these days, right? Haha. I was so relieved when he finally turned around.
That was so sweet to spend those precious moments with mom and dad blessings thank you for sharing Matthew 🤗👍✌️
