- 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!

Quality nature and quality family time equal quality content,quality content.
❤❤❤I love how you enjoy spending time w your parents!!! Sooo happy you won BINGO!
I absolutely love when you're with your mom and dad ❤ Great video. Thank you so very much for sharing ❤😊
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.
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. ❤❤
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?😊
Great video. As always, thanks for taking us along on your journey. It's always great to see your parents. You have a wonderful relationship with them. ❤
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’m glad you went back and asked because I was so shocked with what they charged you for that lol
I was absolutely aghast !!!!
Love the waterfalls❤❤❤❤❤
Me too 😊
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
Glad you are spending quality time with Mom and Dad. Bingo!!!!!
The vlog was so good she watched it twice!💯♥️💋🤌🥳🎈😍
Ah..the lake..happy place!😊😊
"My 'Something About Mary' hairdo" had me in stitches. 😂😂
“ A flannel on top of a tee shirt is all you need “. Sounds like a great line to a country western song.
🎶
Loved this !!!! Your parents are awesome xx
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😂
Mamma Allen's hair is looking fantastic.
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.
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!!!!
I cannot play bingo. I get frustrated more every time somebody else wins.😂😂😂😂
As the old saying goes, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". So glad you went back to ask about the water charge. Woo hoo
Always great to see Mom and Dad!
Hi Matthew!!!! Great vlog today. Thanks for sharing.
Slocan always looks beautiful no matter what season and she gives off an air of complete serenity!🥰
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.
Good evening Matthew and Miss Penny.
That intro would have been sooo nice in glorious 4K
One day…..
Hi Mathew and miss Penny and to the rest of the family.❤
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 😊😊
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!😊
Bingo! I used to call bingo at a retirement home. I also love to play.
Hi Matthew and Penny! Love how you have so much fun with your parents! Keep smiling! Quality content!
Your Mom and you are color matching. 😊
❤❤❤❤ hooray you won
Bingo scene absolutely cracked me up 😂
Your Dad looks great in his Dixon 😊. You too, Matthew 👌
Ahhh... 🥺 Bingo memories with my momma in law (rip). Another great video! Thank you ♡
Love when you visit mom and dad..❤❤
Hello Matthew and Penny. Never like to see an ambulance. Safe Travels.
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 😊❤❤
Brilliant...Family is Everything!
lovely to see your mum and dad Matthew just love bingo ❤ xx
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 😆
Cad$1.99 for 11 litres of beautiful mountain water!♥️😋♥️😋♥️
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 🏆😁
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!!
It's great to spend time with family. I like that aspect of your journey... staying connected.
good vid lots of fun and family enjoy the humour
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
Great. vlog, son. Always a bit unnerving to see myself. BINGO again tomorrow night, still time for you to get here for it!😂😄
Praise you sweet baby Cheesus for Matthew and his M-F uploads! I’m excited 😆
I love your videos so much! ❤❤❤
Thank you Dee!
Oh, thank GOD that was a mistake! I can't believe you didn't notice it during checkout. Lol.
How did childhood bingo get so complicated? I had no idea what I watched, but your mom is a genius.
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!👍💖😇☺️
You can obtain filtered water by the gallon at most Walmarts. Have a beautiful day!
Nice shirt!!!
Could it be a Dixxon?😁
Oh, I absolutely love Nakusp! Also, your brother’s coffee shop is awesome! The Kootenays are one of my favourite places!
So nice to spend time with Mom and Dad! BINGO! lol
Back in the eighties that room would've been filled with cigarette smoke 😂
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 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!
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.
Hello Matthew and Penny 😊😊
Good evening Kathy, lovely to see you here sweetie!💞
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. 😀
How do you get 4 older people to cuss? Have the 5th one yell BINGO
Nailed it
😂😂😂😂😂😂
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 always give me a good laugh. Thanks
BC - bring cash, lol
Always check your receipts!!!!
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.
Glad you spoke up. Even BC should not be that pricey. Crisis averted.
Good Night Brooklyn and Miss Penny
🎉❤😊❤🎉
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
From what I've heard that little 4.8 you got is a very good little engine
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
I am happy you checked. Water was going to be liquid gold.
You should use the truck bedliner spray paint on the ladder, so it has grip when it’s wet
Nice!
That liquor store was false advertising that flash sale.....I absolutely did not see The Flash for sale lol
Omg 😮 here in California I fill a 5 gallon (18 liters) at Walmart for $2.25. I feel for you brother.
That's much better. 😅
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.
This was so fun. Thank you for sharing your family times with us!
Wow looks Like work BINGO ... My Goodness need to have your Game on ...😂😂😂
why does everyone get to yell bingo and all matt gets to yell is oh shit lmao
Hi Matthew that was just fantastic ❤❤❤❤thanks ❤❤❤❤enjoy your visit with your family ❤❤❤❤congratulations on your Bingo ❤❤
Yu are the cool 😎 person I have seen van camping 🏕️ I really enjoy watching You're video 😊 I really love you're kitty 🐈
I love Bingo. Nice night out.😊
Ahh yeah been waiting for this 💚
Good evening sweetie, I hope you're having a a lovely evening!💞
Eep - good thing the owner was there, you were in a situation 😅
This was a good one! 😊
That was so sweet to spend those precious moments with mom and dad blessings thank you for sharing Matthew 🤗👍✌️
What's Bingoing on 😂 Top man Matthew,thanks pal .
Top tier dad joke there 😂👍
Great video, they always are but a few things I loved in this one, the look on your face when you went to the lake is pure contentment, when you hugged your mom when you went for a coffee, I love how close you are, going to bingo with mom and dad, you looked so cute with your parents spending a quality night with them, so many people don't do simple things in life but pitting themselves out and doing things they wouldn't normally do, your parents are so cool your clearly a very close family, your dad is super cool in his Dixon. Can't wait to see more from the Allen weekend ❤❤❤
Lord bless me. I was YELLING at the screen...'GO BACK MATTHEW, GO BACK' as I filled up a huge blue water jug for $3.00 at the grocery store last week. I'm glad you went back. $1.99 is WAY better. Ah yes, Silverton, like visiting an old friend...Rosie, what a cute shop doggo! Errands and coffee with Mum, always a good idea. The concentration when you were playing Bingo...good on ya! Looked like a great night all around.
Hi Mstt and Penny!! Ray from Wisconsin here.
Something about Mary.... LOL!
Hey Matthew and Penny and Mom and Sheba are Dad😊😊
