Honestly the most refreshing thing I've seen on anything related to van life. Please don't change a thing. It's so interesting to see the perspective from the other side of the ocean. Here in Canada most of the van life style content is from the US and quite frankly, it's not very positive or encouraging. I deeply applaud your courage, openness and honesty in your vlog posts. As a young woman traveling alone your security is paramount, but I love they way you embrace the challenge and prove that the world is not a bad place and there are good people everywhere you go. Stay safe, take care and Bravo.

Store your trainers in the wellies and keep all !! you will miss the wellies when they are needed.

Marina if you want extra space buy yourself a roofbox ... very handy for clothes and a extra pair(s) of shoes. Good luck whit it

The shoes that you were wearing in the van are called .Thongs in Australia and Flip Flops in most parts of the USA.. In New Zealand and South Africa they are called Jandals.... I just stumbled across your Vids, which I am enjoying a lot.. Well done from Australia

The concern and obvious love and affection you show to Odie is beautiful. People should be treated so well...….

Keep the wellies x

I would definitely keep the wellies.The heels can go.You can wear dresses & wellies!Love Odie,he loves you and all the trips.My sheepdog has a Facebook page where he is the boss and runs the farm.Dogs are amazing companions.Happy travelling.

You are like a breath of fresh air thank you so much for the beautiful videos👋👋👋

You might want to think about getting a water collection bladder maybe 5 maybe 7 litres that attaches to your filter so that you can gather water and then you can let gravity run the water through the filter. I use a little bit of thin nylon cord ( Mason twine ) just a couple of millimeters in diameter and you can hang it from a branch of any tree or if it's raining you can tie a knot in the cord and have the bladder inside your rear van door and shut it with the not on the outside to hold it in place and you can filter your water overnight into a clean container for use with your morning coffee For more storage you might get a clamp on roof rack.. Odie ROCKS 🎸 😎

This is lovely! I've always wondered what you do about groceries! :)

I think you have lots of courage in traveling alone. I am a chicken and scared, and that's why I haven't found my self doing what most of you guys are doing. I applaud you van looks amazing and the food in the past video looks great. Don't get rid of your shoes you might need them.

We have a water filter thing like that. We used it at the lake district last year and it was so useful. Its handy to have a fold up water bottle that is like a strong plastic bag with a bottle lid because sometimes you want to dip into the water but without actually getting into the water and with a folding bottle ,you can bend the top part to get it under the surface and avoid any floating bits,without pouring all the water back out.

Nice to see you again

Fort William is Very nice place. Go to the Highlands, the scenery is amazing! Great vlog👍👍👍Ben Nevis would be to hard for your fury friend.x

Hi Pam, great video, I will watch some more, you and your dog are both lovely

You are very organized 😊👏👏👏👏 I have started watching your video's and subscribed to your channel recently. Whenever me stressed from my work in office I turn on your channel. It is such a breath of fresh air and I feel relaxed watching your videos 👌👍👏👏👏

Seems like you and your dog have a sweet life. one day I would love to do this.

Definitely keep wellies and maybe be looking at how you could be hanging things up for storage as well. X

💜🏞Wonderful energy w happy vibes,,, we enjoy all your videos/vlogs, a joy...😊

Thanks for sharing the video..your van is like at little studio apartment. Pretty cool... avocados are delicious.

Could listen to you forever! You are an inspiration.

Your channel is one of my favorites along with the Beach Boys and Post Modern Jukebox, oh and a cowboy cooking channel!

Hi, I really enjoy your vlogs. I always carry a spare set of guitar strings, they take up very little space and I wouldn't want to be without it. Have a great time in Scotland. I was there earlier in the year.

I'm in looove watching this series so I don't think of this quarantine and can travel a little bit around Scotland! I just so agree on not put too much information about the bothys, even though I didn't know them...but i love the idea that it's like a secret you have to found on the road. Thank you Marina :))

Just three things. Water from taps on garage forecourts, white rice for dinner and oats for brekkie. Welcome! 😎

I use a Sawyer water filter and/or a Steri Pen Aqua UV Water Purifier for when I am hiking, not cheap but certainly handy when you have to carry the water in your rucksack at 1 Kg/Litre.

God bless and protect you both always. Please do be careful, perils are out there, never know where. But I love your Precious, pure simplicity, living lightly upon the land. I hope you will eventually have a wonderful tiny house, perhaps a mobile one if you enjoy journeying around, so that the living will be a little easier. I'm amazed at how much you have in your van, yet how organized and effective your use of it is.

Would love if you did a video of a typical meal you make with these foods. LIke a Vanlife cooking vlog. I'm planning to do this when i graduate uni and would love to get some meal ideas :)

I went up the west coast to Skye last September and the east cost to John O'Groats this September. I was surprised at how many supermarkets there are on the east coast. There's even a Lidl and Tesco in Thurso in the far north! I'm also a vegan female travelling alone with my dog so I'm really enjoying your vlogs. PS don't get rid of your wellies!

I have used the Sawyer filter for almost 4 years now and it's a fantastic bit of kit. Best thing is you can backwash it and it is good to go for thousands and thousands of litres of water! Love the boots... might pay to buy a small aerosol can of waterproofing spray, and give them a good spray and you'll be good to go :)

Good little filters them,i did a test and a review on my channel,handy to keep n the van

Nothing wrong with Trespass boots. Have used them for years. Get yourself a spray bottle of Nikwax and give them a good spray every now and then. Keeps them water repellant

I’m in love with odie! More Shots and scenarios with him, pls? 😂

I love your videos! Thank you for taking us along with you & sharing your journey & van life. 😊 💕 We are a busy family with our children’s sporting activities & school activities. I have told my husband for years we need a RV instead of a house because we are always somewhere else besides home hahaha. Right now I am sitting in my car waiting on them at their activities & watching your videos hahaha. We actually call thongs flip flops here in America. Some people calm them thongs but majority of us call them flip flops 😊

I would not expect any less in a shopping haul from a fellow Italian. You have enough food for a family of 5. Here in Australia many people buy what you bought for their whole family, but us Italians like to buy too much food. I made a comment the other day about my 2 fridges for myself and my nonna had 2 plus fridges for 3 people in her house. My nonna also had a stockpile of pasta. But my aunty in Sassari, Sardegna had an even bigger stockpile of pasta and even more pasta.

Brilliant. I am about to visit Scotland in my Citroen Berlingo van and will also be fridgeless. I lost my old collie dog a few weeks ago and she suffered arthritis, the vet gave her tablets which made a huge difference. I would love to hear how Oddie responds to Tumeric. Yeah a little review of the water filter would be very useful. Thanks Marina, I have been a subscriber for a while and really enjoy your videos!

I’m so inspired by your attitude. One day soon ...

You are completely adorable! I live near Inverness and we have loads of places to get fresh stuff, including some of the best garlic, potatoes, carrots and soft fruits in the world.

Wow, living in Paris, I'm very surprised that you would get all of these for this amount of money :O I would love to go grocery shoping knowing that I won't spend my whole pay check :P Great video :)

Just love watching your videos and I'd love to see you with another little puppy in the future when you feel the time is right...... all the best from Glasgow....😉

If you have a dollar store look for the rustoleum water proof. You can get it where ever there is spray paint they should have the waterproofing spray. Check with shoe stores too.

Keep wellies, they're water proof. Soya mini filter is brilliant but the little water collection bags will drive you nuts. In strong flows they do eventually collect enough water. However, in small streams puddle's etc they're a nightmare 😖 Pre filled bottles of water, the ones with little flip top nipple like, screw on lids (Smart bottles) fit the filter direct so once empty can be used direct with the filter. Either simply to drink direct through filter or to transfer via filter to secondary vessel or bottle. Another little tip is that these smart bottles, because of their lids, can be used, with clean or filtered water to back flush the filter. Hope that helps. happy travels 😊 Dave AKA wackyswandering 😁

I love it, you're such a girly girl, 10 pairs of shoes but no fridge/ electric cool box. As a suggestion you can buy a small electric cool box for as little as £30 to fit on the passenger seat and plug into the cigarette lighter socket in the dashboard. It would help keep your fresh food fresh for longer, saving you money in the long term.I love what you are doing, keep doing it, take care and stay safe.

I once bought some German sausage.........it was the wurst! You just said,”Nice van” (I love it when you say that,ha ha) nite nite

Ce genre de vidéo ou tu montres ce que tu manges avec un petit budget est génial ! Ca donne vraiment plein de petites idées :D

very helpful to see what others are doing for food and very similar to what I am thinking about too.....thanks very much

Can't believe one waching this again but I needed reminding how nice it is, my girlfriend and me ended up spending 7 months up there and especially loved ullapool and knock and cragg

Just discovered your channel and love it. Do you know you can get a shower at the train station next to Morrison's in fort William, Seen it on another channel.

I always take (organic) carrots with me! Very practical, healthy and a good snack :) I think the carrots you get in scotland taste fantastic, quite sweet.

I love watching you explore my beautiful country.

We went Shopping! Odie is such a clever doggy :)

I love Lidl and Aldi...never hear the US van dwellers using either of them...it’s always Trader Joe’s or Walmart...the first two sell a lot of food on the cheaper side and it’s not loaded with a bunch of unwanted items! They’re definitely my go to grocery stores. I wish we had a Trader Joe’s tbh lol but it’s not take care, safe travels! Great buy & thanks for sharing!

Oh my gosh I’ve watched a few of your videos and you are awesome.

Pam.. you're such an inspiration

I have a Sawyer Mini filter which works extremely well.

God bless and protect you both always. Please do be careful, perils are out there, never know where. But I love your Precious, pure simplicity, living lightly upon the land. I hope you will eventually have a wonderful tiny house, perhaps a mobile one if you enjoy journeying around, so that the living will be a little easier.

I think you should keep the wellies. They will be useful. Your wardrobes already pretty minimalist! Put the new boots in the foot well of your passenger seat :-) have you considered getting a little roof box? I know you have a little fan though and it may stop light getting through. Just s suggestion. Great video. Bless little Odie. He is so sweet. We love your videos and seeing your adventures. Thank you. 😘💕xxxxx

As far as water treatment systems we use BERKEY and they have a personal size available where you could even fill up with spring water ,rain water etc...used when natural disasters happen all over the world and the filters have an incredibly long life and filter out soooo many pathogens etc...we use their Big Berkey In home that is plenty for Four of us and two filters go for 6000 gallons ! Best wishes

keep the wellies.. you will need them.. you will regret parting with me.. super video.. love all your videos.. all that food for £28 that's fantastic xxx

Odie just wants to west his weary joints on your bed! Mine is the same, not allowed in the bed, but will always sneak up there when we aren't around!

Fresh parsley keeps away the bad body odours. I eat parsley straight from the fresh leaves if I need to keep away body odours - if I do not have time to anything with it, ie put in food or a drink.

Just found your channel, love your videos! Keep up the good work.

Good thinking with the spaghetti! I like to use mason jars to soak/sprout dried fruit, chickpeas, lentils, make sourkarut. Soaking dried fruit is good for your teeth I think, and sprouting stuff enables buying cheaper, smaller packs of dried beans as well as avoid having to cook them for hours. BTW don't eat uncooked kidney bean sprouts.

Love your videos, coming from Canada

What a lovely young lady, keep it up as long as you can.... You're only young once. Very entertaining video 👍

Very good haul of food ..you can give Odi packet (beef )I presume he is not vegaterian..). gelatine which you could mix with his food ..it is really good for arthritis it has helped Dolly get off her medications..worth a try... we find she is not as stiff ...you can buy in the supermarket ....keep wellies 🤗

Keep the wellies! Surely if you have running shoes and trainers you could ditch one of those instead?

You should give your dog a tin of oily fish once a week. Mackeral is good. Its good for the joints and coat.Buy the tins with brine not tomatoe sauce.

You absolutely need wellies in Scotland! The 'shoes' you are wearing we call 'flip-flops' in the UK! I wear them all the time. I am sure you have been asked before, but your English is so fluent and you are completely bilingual. Do you have Italian/English parents? Love Odi, love your channel which I have recently discovered. You are an inspiration!

Have you thought about a roof box for storage? Free some space in the van

You need to go after free food: you can forage for wild food such as nettle leaves and dandelion leaves and flowers and wild garlic leaves and flowers this time of year. Fishmongers should give you fish heads for free, you can make a nutritious broth with them.

Do you ever go to Farmers markets to get some organic produce ?Also, do you know about Chlorella and Baobab, potent superfoods that you could almost live on ? I love your videos !

Nice tour vídeos. Lovely soh.

Use military water purification tablets to purify Scottish water from streams, & never lakes if possible. Iodine is the ingredient in those tablets, so regular iodine will work.

just found your channel pam enjoyed watching your adventures

Bin the Wellie's , Oak Cake's i love them, Go with everything , meat, cheese , Strawberry jam , Nutella....And the sandle's in Scotland are called Flip Flop's. Next big Town is Ullapool on west coast. beautiful Area.

Buddy is an amazing dog!!!

If I ever will have a van (I have an eye on Opel Combo but for now I don't have money), I would love to travel a bit with you :D As far as I watched your videos from oldest since now (+ the newest ones, run free sweet Odie!), you seem to be a nice person to be around with. I love your camperisation, the system and furniture. Maybe I will copy that someday, haha. I really want to be a camper girl someday with my two cats. Love from Germany

They sell that spicy chocolate at Aldi here in the US too. It's so yummy!

you can buy mung-bean pasta/noodles and sweet-potato pasta in asia-shops....they are more healthy and cheap :-)

Rice cakes are a life saver and very filling

Oh nooo Marina.....not the wellies! I keep a pair of wellies and a pair of salomons in the back of my Land Rover 24 - 7 and I nearly always reach for the wellies unless its in a mountainous area then its the salomons. I love that you are veggie, it would be great if you made a video on cooking an authentic Italian veggie dish 👍 All the best, Russ P.s u.s.a = thongs and u.k = flip flops 😀

Odie is so sweet!

Just looking for this , got a brew and gona watch.

You're such a brave girl!

greets from the netherlands !! Love your videos.....(ps. you look so good)

Adorable personality

Quite right when you're parked somewhere and it's late and you can't be bothered to cook quite right just eat , Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in Scotland the country of SCOTLAND.

Good tips , i need to eat rye bread and make my own turmeric powder.btw how do you wash your cloths, launderette ?

Keep the wellies too. Get rid of something else! Or rearrange your stuff.

I wonder if you kept the wellies, so useful for storing things in too.

Salute you from Mexico City,I started to follow u cause I think everyone wish do something different in our life’s and u just surprise me with this nice adventure we love u and expect see ur videos here ...oceans of love always....😎😎🇲🇽🇺🇸🍎🍎👍🏻👍🏻😎😎

Thongs or flip flops a name that we use locally a long time ago I don't know beyond here in South Texas we called them slaps. Cuz they slap your feet

Je vous suis dans vos voyages depuis 2ans et je vous félicite pour tout ce que vous faites ! Felicitation . Je porte vos bijoux. Je refait vos recettes et j'essaye de bricoler mais pas facile!! Vous me donnez des tas d'idées et cela me booste. Je ne sais pas écrire l'anglais et pas l'italien mais cela ne m'empeche pas de comprendre . Merci pour me faire voyager . Merci de m'avoir donné envie de reprendre un chienne une golden qui est merveilleuse. Je vous souhaite une très belle continuation !!! A un de ces jours peut-être .

The best thing I think about living this way is not being responsible for anyone but yourself

Ref Odie's arthritis; best free advice a vet ever gave me for my 'stiff' dog was to give her half an aspirin a day, administered in small piece of bread/butter or whatever- it gave my dog a new lease of life, walked much more freely without discomfort.

A beautiful woman, a nice van, and a long trip? thats the dream :D

yes, please review the water filter!

Watch videos on Latino people smuggling. They have lots of great ideas on spaces not used in vehicles.

Keep your wellies sweetie :)
