Hi my name is Emi. I'm born in raise in small town just outside Quebec City, this is where my lovely accent come from. My #vanlife story starts in September 2018. After a long-term relationship that I was trying for more than a year to rebuild, I decided it was time to end this toxic relationship once for all. This is where I decided to move away from this man that I was still in love with. I put all my belongings inside my SUV (GMC Jimmy) and moved six hours from where I was living. I didn’t know where I would sleep, didn’t know where I would work but I knew I needed to make a drastic move. At that time, I told myself I will only sleep in my car for a month while looking for a place to rent. What I didn’t know is that one month became another month and another month. In the end, I end up sleeping in my car for a full year. Even if people will consider this the lowers time of my life, this experience was the best thing I couldn’t have done with my life. I took that year to focus on myself, decide what I wanted, and most importantly what I didn’t want. That year made me also realize that for so long, I was chasing the wrong dreams. I was chasing what society wanted me to be: to have a big house, a steady job, kids, get married… None of those dreams was making me happy. In September 2019, while I was actively looking for a van, I received a phone call that someone had found my cat (Kelly). After, trying for hours with no success to communicate with my ex-boyfriend (who was taking care of her), I decided to drive the six hours to go pick her up. Without going into too much detail, it turns out he wasn’t able to take care of her anymore. So I brought her in a cat kennel for a couple of days until I found a van we both could live in. I put all the savings that I had accumulated while living in my car and bought my van (a 2011 Ford Econoline that I end up adding a hightop) In the beginning, It wasn’t so glamour. My cat and I were sleeping on a mattress on the floor of the van. We both had to adjust. Now, my cat loves this lifestyle as much as I do; she looks at the window while I’m driving and she loves exploring new places. Since then, my cat Kelly and I are have been living full-time in my self convert van.

My husband and I live in separate homes. Most people assume we are pursuing divorce but we are not. We are doing this to save our marriage. I honestly wish we had done it years ago, but society acts like, if you love your partner, you have to sleep in the same house, in the same bed, each night. Do what works for you!

Emi, my husband and I have been married almost 38 years. But due to my work, we didn't live in the same town for 15 YEARS. My job provided me a house 250 miles away from our farm. When you own a farm, you can't just get up and walk away from it. When I retired, I came back home, but we had both lived alone for so long, that we couldn't be happy living in the same house together. So I bought a nice mobile home and moved it onto our 25 acres, and my house is about 200 feet from his house. I have everything I like in my house, and he has everything he likes in his house. We both work at the same place, have morning coffee together every day, and have dinner out with friends 3 nights per week. When I'm at his house, he'll let me know when I'm getting on his nerves. "Isn't it time for you to go home?" LOL It works just fine, because I'll do the same thing when he's hanging out at my house. If it works, it works. All of our finances are separate as well, I pay for all my own stuff, and he pays for all of his stuff. We DO share Dish TV, home phone, internet, etc., and each of us pays 50% of the bill each month. I like being independent! No woman should feel like she has to ask for money like a child. That's a bunch of BS! I'm an adult and I actually have quite a bit more monthly income than my husband due to knowing how to save and budget for the future. Don't EVER give up your independence. I feel sorry for the women who trusted someone with their life and finances who get abandoned with a bunch of kids, no income, and no skills.

From the beginning it's made sense to me to have two vans. If it were only one it would be very crowded. You'd have to go everywhere together all the time or leave one without shelter and transportation in sudden bad weather. You'd have to have the exact same schedule for work, errands, cooking, sleeping or one would be disturbing the other. Nowhere to go if one got sick. Even in a houscouples don't spend 100% time together. They have their own schedules, friends, jobs, sleep patterns, interests, spaces. Many years ago even the poet Kahlil Gibran talked about needing spaces in togetherness. You are proud of acvomplishing what you have. I am proud too. It took courage and strength. You show others how it can be done. I always say if is isn't broken, don't fix it! I forgot. Baling soda will neutralize odors without damaging the material. Or hang it outside where no birds or campfires are around!

Even in sticks and bricks everyone needs a place of their own to kick back and have private time. You learn this through trial and error. The best relationships are those who stay friends. Would never want to be crammed into one van. Also, you learned the lesson every girl/woman needs to know....you are capable of being on your own and can take care of yourself. Having a relationship that works is a nice bonus, just not a requirement 100% of the time.

It's a very smart thing to do, in my opinion. You both are very independent people, and I'm sure having your own space comes in very handy when you want to get away from all the distractions of life, including each other. That doesn't mean you don't care or don't love each other, it just means you each have a life that you worked hard to create, and you deserve to be independent of each other when the need arises. More marriages would survive if married people lived the same way.

It’s crazy to think people assume now a days that just because you’re a couple, it means you have to live together or always be together. I married my husband 21 years ago and we did not live together before we got married. We to this day, still do some things on our own. Sometimes we goto the same place, and drive in our own cars! It’s good to be alone sometimes especially when you are independent. Just like when Emi is working on her van. I’ve seen people get all up in arms because Chrome isn’t helping her or doing it for her. SMH. Let people live their own lives how they want to, for what’s best for them mentally and physically.

It looks healthy and suits you and your life style and your past and the journey you walked so that’s all that matters. We all have a different journey and it’s good you follow yours based on your own experience and past. Your now partner seems good. You are amazing and love your cat too.🥰🥰❤️

My partner of 27 years and I live mostly separate lives. We were together more when our children were growing up but once they were gone, we have pursued different interests. One of mine is van traveling. I built out a beautiful pro master van, and it feels like my home. And I feel very empowered that I built my own home. I often tell him that he can travel with me, but he has to have his own van. I work on the road and so we are apart quite often. We probably get along better now than we ever did in a more traditional lifestyle.

Hi Emily and little Kelly, I love watching your videos. Bravo, you have proved to yourself that you are a strong woman with independence and comfortable in your own skin. I admire you plus I admire Chrome for his not trying to change the person you have become. To be honest I feel that is what attracted you and Chrome to each other in the first place. It has been fantastic watching you both grow closer and appreciate each other more as time passes. You don't have to live together to be a strong couple, actually it's quite the opposite. Independence is a virtue that we acquire in life, sometimes earlier in some than others. Once gained it stays for the rest of our life. It is precious and not to be taken lightly by ourselves or for that matter any one else. Personally I was in a nasty toxic relationship for some years with a young child. My independence kept us alive and we walked away with our lives and our few belongings. May the Lord continue to watch over and bless you always. Hugs and love from Western Australian 🇦🇺

hahahah I am such a solo , independent introvert I am the same way.... I would need two houses connected by a pool....No need to explain yourselves... you are great. People can date and do their own thing.

I have always enjoyed sleeping by myself and I like my alone time - my guy is awesome but there are times when we both need our space. Does not mean I do not value and love him. Good for you guys - happiness is important

Get smoke out with Vanilla Extract! About 2 Tbs in the washing machine along with the laundry soap wash your smokey clothes. That's it smell gone. It can be cheap even imitation vanilla. A professional laundry gave me that tip.

@Emi, in use Distilled White Vinegar & sprinkle some baking soda into thevwash with it. Watvh that the vinegar doesn't lighten any dark fabrics, so add the vinegar & baking soda while the water is filling up!!! Vinegar us good for washing dishes, cleaning, I spray it on my toothbrush & tongue scraper after each use, I use it on my waterpik too. Good for armpits also instead of deodorant or you can use lemon juice. After you left your bad relationship, it is good you are keeping your independence in this good relationship. Also, Chrome has had several bad relationships too & likes his independence as well. You'll make this work to your uniqueness. Thank you for sharing & have a good Easter weekend 😊👍

Neither of you are children so you are in your own grooves so to speak, comfortable grooves. When you can overlap and spend time together and have fun and know at the same time you are there for each other whether in the same van or across the country from one another, you are "together". You are each unique persons also and need that creative space to do your thing.. Enjoy, that's what's important! I'm sure Kelly feels secure with her Mom and Cruz with his Papa, so good for them too! :)

It is good you have your own space. I can tell Chrome can be difficult at times and having some time away is necessary. Don't get me wrong I like him and you but having your own is a must.

I totally understand your setup, arrangement , I would do the same. I would love to meet someone to explore the world with, love and support but also I have been so hurt and after years now alone I can´t see myself cramped in one small one with someone else and give up all I have worked hard fo for years both mentally and my physically.. It might even be so that your relationship works better because you both have your individuaity also. And to long for someone is a wonderful way to remind yourself you love someone ❤ A Kellycam was fun ❤

1/2 cup of baking soda put in the tub of the washing machine first before your clothes and use your normal detergent in the despencerary , that will help get the smell out of the clothing.❤❤❤

Technically the vans are your home just like anybody else who may have their own place like a home or apartment. So it’s normal to be separate and see eachother💞! It better to always look after yourself as no one else will as you never know what will happen especially when it comes to having shelter for yourself 😉!
