We are back in Canada and life in our van begins! We are retired and ready to enjoy Canadian experiences. Van Life will be a new experience. As retired Canadians we also appreciate watching our budget. We are excited to bring you our experiences of van life after travelling abroad for the winter.
In this video, we give you a quick and musical snippet of our 40 hour journey home from Thailand to Canada. We uncover our camper van, affectionately known as "Sadie" and get her ready for the summer. We have a few surprises, but all is great. We end with a pretty in depth tour of Sadie!
We hope you enjoy today's video! We are excited to showcase our home country as we live life in the van, immersed in the whole canadian experience. Thanks for watching! Cheers! 🥂

This was a fun video for me just now. We are ten days away from flying back to Ontario and getting Tia Maria (our campervan and home for the summer) out of storage and ready for the summer. We have a condo in Mexico that we spend the winter in and then summer in our vintage Roadtrek though presently we are on chilly Vancouver Island visting family. I am hoping 🙏 that there are no mousses!! I also put down dryer sheets....

OMG this is so fun! You guys are living the same lifestyle - snowbirds by winter and vanlifers by summer! Just chatted with a friend on the island - she said its very rainy (but also needed). Ontario is having a May heatwave - don't miss it! LOL. Have a great trip home - we have to check out your channel!!

Such a contrast between Europe/Asia and Canada. Is Canada still ‘home’ for now?

Canada is still home. All of our family is here and it is a big, lovely country in the summer!!! We will be back out abroad in the fall for sure!!
