Départ dans moins d’un mois pour le sud 🤗 Le plan exacte reste encore à voir (tsé des fois que je rencontrerais quelqu’un d’ici là 💁🏼‍♀️😅) mais chose sûre je suis très excité de repartir en van voir mes amis du sud, les spots de camping sauvages et bien sur biker! Qui sait ce que l’aventure me réservera cette fois 😊 Et vous, quels sont vos plans cet hiver? Y’a t-il d’autres snowbirds ici? 🚐

Left the coast in a hurry a couple nights ago. Thankfully, Twin the cat is almost back to her old self but for a bit she was really sick. Not sure what caused it but she vomited and then started to shiver, drool with her mouth open, and puff up like a cotton ball. There are no 24-hour emergency vets on the Washington/Oregon coast so we drove 2.5 hours in the dark to get her closer to help. Not sure what happened but a full day in her cat bed after subcutaneous fluids and an anti-nausea injection seemed to do the trick. A similar thing happened to Toby while we camping on a Croatian farm last summer. Only difference is a full work up in Croatia cost us like $30 and here in the US we paid $250 without bloodwork and X-rays. I keep saying this every few days and it still surprises me each time. It was cheaper for us to live in Europe. But it also may have to do with easy access to Amazon lockers here. Ha.

P.S. Thank you for all your kind words the past few days. I wasn’t fishing for comments but each and every one brought a smile to our faces. We’re all glad you are along for the ride.

Yesterday was the start of a new year of roadschool! Ava is now in 10th, Mila in 8th and Luka in 5th. They’ve been homeschooled their entire lives. They’ve never been to a typical school so to them this is their normal.

We started off homeschooling through a charter program when Ava started kindergarten for some hand holding as we figured out the best ways to school our children. After a few years, we felt confident and declared ourselves a private school in California and schooled them around the world.

Now that Ava is in high school, we felt the need for a change. So this year, she is started a new home study program through a charter school. She will taking a range of online classes including Biology, World Literature, Algebra 2, Spanish and Digital Illustration. It’s definitely a shift because she will have more interactions with other students and teachers while gaining responsibly as she learns to manage her time and assignments.

And all of this can still happen from our home on the road as we continue to explore this beautiful world of ours together as family.

We went into Overland Expo hoping for two things: to share our story and to reconnect with our traveling community here.

Over five days, we got to meet up with family and reconnect with old friends we haven’t seen in years. On top of that, we finally had a chance to hang out and say hello to so many other travelers we’ve only interacted with online. It was exactly what we were hoping for, what we needed, a stronger sense of community. And hopefully those connections we made over the weekend will continue as we explore this continent. Thank you all. You know who you are 🙂

While sharing our stories during a variety of panels, I gave the kids the option to attend our chats. To my surprise, they chose to stick around for all of our sessions. They’ve heard, and lived, these stories a million times before but now they were soaking in everyone else’s unique stories. My most empowering moment of the show was to sit on a panel with four amazing women, all with totally different adventures, with my girls in the audience. They listened to stories from a solo adventurer, one who rides a motorcycle with her pup, one whose traveled to over 75 countries, and one who started this expo and traveled the far corners of Africa. There is no right way to live this life, no perfect vehicle, no best route. The one thing we all have in common is that we followed our hearts.

Had the pleasure to meet and tour landshipcustoms van last night at sunset. Really awesome build and the name Landship really popped with the look of this van. Can’t wait to share with everyone on youtube

During recording I saw a opportunity to snap a quick photo (first pic). Shane had no idea I was recording and taking another photo with my phone but I’m glad I did!

She enjoy skiing so much, she is sniffing for birds on the way up the skin track. Then she run flat out on the descent trying to catch her prey…wich is me 🤣
Back to the van she just want to go back up 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hello from the very northwest corner of the contiguous 48 US states! Our previous two visits here were so sunny that we could hardly believe the gloom. That didn’t stop us from revisiting Cape Flattery and enjoying some family time at one of our favorite paid campgrounds in the country.

Parked our vans here on Tuesday and haven’t moved them an inch since. Mornings spent playing on the Sea of Cortez or under the rickety palapas with camp dogs. Afternoon walks into town to stuff ourselves with what the fishermen caught that day. And evenings spent wondering why we are all tired by 7pm. It might have something to do with the watching the sun rise over the sea. Or the midday beers. 😝

Thanks for memories, vandyssey!

La fin de la vanlife? Je vous annonce aujourd’hui la fin de mon partenariat avec vanlifemtl. Je me suis joins à l’équipe en février 2020 comme laveur de vans avant d’endosser un rôle d’ambassadeur. Deux ans et 5 mois plus tard, on peut dire mission accomplie! Ce fût un tremplin pour ma vie personnelle et professionnelle et je leur en suis très reconnaissant. À davidadesprojets le fondateur, martin.lambert.7315 l’ingénieur, veronique_cou au marketing et tout le reste de l’équipe, merci 🙇‍♂️

Lors de ma publication du 8 juin, je vous partageais que j’avais le feeling d’être dans un virage. Lorsqu’on sent le besoin de changement, on doit provoquer le destin. Si on emprunte toujours le même chemin, faut pas se surprendre de revenir au même point. Ainsi, c’est sans plan, ni direction que j’emprunte la prochaine sortie afin d’aller vers l’inconnu voir ce qui se cache avec comme seul guide mon instinct ✨

Je ne me suis pas lassé de la vanlife, même après 6 ans je ressentais encore ce feeling d’aventure au quotidien. Jamais besoin de penser quoi apporter, vivre avec moins, être autonome peu importe où on se trouve, ça va me manquer! 😐

Je me retrouve par le fait-même sans véhicule pour la 1ère fois depuis que j’ai 19 ans. J’ai trouvé une chambre chez un ami où j’ai aménagé ce weekend. Ça m’a fait bizarre le premier matin. Bizarre de devoir marcher et prendre des escaliers pour aller à la cuisine 💁🏻‍♂️

En toute franchise, je crois que ça va me faire du bien de prendre une p’tite pause du pittstopvelocafe qui me servait de camp de base. La meilleure façon que je pourrais vous l’expliquer? Imaginez Martin Matte qui dort dans le parking d’un Maxi et qui avant d’aller prendre sa douche le matin doit saluer 10 personnes au passage et ensuite 5 autres pour son café 😅

J’ai hâte de voir ce qui m’attend pour la suite. Je me sens dans une période de renaissance et j’ai besoin de me mettre en danger pour me stimuler. Bonvelo est né comme ça après tout 😉

Cheers! 😊✌️
