Traveling to My New Home! 

So glad to see you and Lars back on the road. I’m a 74 year old black woman in Mississippi. I have no hobby other than watching you and Lars. I’ve missed you guys. Praise God for His blessing with the van. Looking forward to our adventures. You’re like my grandson virtually. God bless and keep you safe is my prayer.🙏🏼❤️

Only 8,000 miles on a 23 year old E-250!!!? Only 7k bucks in repairs!!!? Dude, you and Lars win!

Blessing to the woman who gifted Mateo with this van!!!

7k in repairs with only 8 thousand miles is a huge steal. Carrie is the real MVP here may god bless her 🙏

You should start a new Amazon wishlist for the new build. I want a real kitchen in this new build for you so bad lol

Thank you so much to the lady that gifted Mateo this van ! May God Bless her for blessing him. So so happy for you Mateo , God Bless 🙏🏻

Thank you Carrie for giving Mateo and Lars their new home. You must feel so good for what you've done. "One woman's junk, is another mans treasure".

*CARRIE* has a heart of GOLD! And I can't think of ANYONE more deserving of such a generous gift than *YOU, MATEO!* You bring sooo much joy to so many people with your sharing of your adventurous life, with Lars, and your heart warming travels! Much luck and good wishes for you in your upcoming travels! Can't WAIT to see your joy and brilliant smile 😁 in the coming days and weeks ahead!!! Much love to you, young man!!! 🥰

Does anybody else get a little teary-eyed when his intro plays? Maybe it's just me...

Thank you Carrie for your sincere generosity. It's a beautiful van and we're all so grateful & happy for Mateo. I hope Carrie continues to watch this channel and witness the transformation and smile with pride 😊.

Cari seen the same kind hearted man that I seen a while back that made me subscribe. It was the video where the lady died that was parked next to you. You made her some food. You were one of the very last people to be nice to her and help her. I almost felt obligated to sub. You are a very kind man and I’m soooo glad good is coming to you!

Cari, your kind gift to Mateo and Lars is a gift to all of us who love watching their channel. Mateo, your kind heart has helped create this beautiful karma. I am so happy for you and Lars and look forward to seeing this new chapter unfold.

The first video that I watched of yours was making breakfast and coffee for a random lady who was parked next to you. You are so kind. All of the good Karma that you put out into the world and helping others, has come back to you. ❤️❤️❤️

Mateo!!!!!! OMG!!! As a former Daycare Center Director, I can verify that you were truly blessed with this gift!!! We are required to ultra maintain daycare vehicles and Carrie (sp) is amazing for gifting you with your next home on wheels! I am so happy for you and Lars and can't wait to watch the buildout videos! Mateo, let this be confirmation of what a wonderful person you are! Your precious heart and personality make people smile! I trip over myself getting to your videos! LOL!! I hope for all the very best for your new friend Carrie and pray all the very best for her!

People like Cari restore my faith in humanity ❤

Was anyone else emotional watching this?? Mateo, you have such an amazing heart and soul, the universe should rightfully deliver you all the blessings! You deserve it Congratulations!! This is amazing !! ❤

That's amazing she gifted you that van. The milage. Wow! I'm so happy for you and Lars ❤

I literally cried when you said the van hadn't been used in that long. That van has been waiting on you! For anyone going through challenges situations this should be proof that your blessings are out there waiting on you! You just gotta keep going! This was beautiful.

Shout out to the repair shop that got it running again for Mateo.

I'm in Minnesota. When I seen that you were here and were gifted an awesome van I was so proud of being a Minnesota girl and proud of my neighbors. God bless you Mateo and Lil Lars and bless you Carrie for being so kind for letting Meteo get the van. Everything happens for a reason. 8000 miles!! That's one awesome van. Good luck to you Mateo on your build and good luck to you Carrie on whatever you are doing now. I was sad when I watched the last video, I thought no more van life with Mateo but now I'm excited to watch the build and to see Lars explore his new digs. ❤😊

YES Cari you couldn't have picked a better Human to gift this too. Matteo you so deserve this upgrade. I can't wait to see how you pimp this out for you and Lars.

How exciting, Mateo!!! And this one you can stand up in. I can't wait to see what you do with it. Everyone is very excited for you on here. What a wonderful thing for that woman to gift you a van!!

$7,000 with 8,000 miles??? That's such a Blessing. Congratulations. Can't wait to see what you do with it. I'm excited for you.

Well deserved!!! This is what kindness and humanity is all about. You and Lars deserve all the best. So so happy for the both of you!!! ❤

You are so very lucky to find a kind soul to gift you that van with only 8,000 miles on it then having to only end up paying $7,300 for repairs? Dude.. you hit the jackpot! I'm excited for you. I'm looking forward to watching your new journey in this van.

Saw winterisblu and dropped everything 💯 #MyGuy 🔥

God bless that lady for gifting you and Lars with that van! 8,000 miles? That's like a brand new van! Wow! Can't wait to see how you renovate it! I missed you and Lars. Stay strong young king! 🙂❤💯✌🏽

Thank you Carrie for being a blessing to Mateo and all of us watching❣️

I'm so happy for you, Mateo! If possible, and if she's okay with it, maybe we could all put something together to thank her for her kindness🥰

That is absolutely amazing what a blessing!!! I had a friend who was homeless living in a tent, someone gave her an RV!!! People are wonderful. If you ask you shall receive!! It's the universe working for you!

That got me crying, The generosity of that woman is amazing, There are some beautiful people in the world still, You seem like such a great guy, You deserve that and more ❤❤❤❤

What an angel of a woman to gift this to this young dude. This is going to take his game to another level. What a wonderful blessing

No matter what happens in this world, people will always be Kind and Wonderful. Carrie is a Saint! 😎

WOW…what an awesome gift 🎁! Thank you for gifting Mateo and Lars so that we can continue watching his journey. IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

TayO , it’s because you have a good heart God will cause people to bless you; for no reason you have a good heart and a humble spirit. Your parents did a good job with your upbringing. You are very respectful. I am so full of tears, just so happy for you, because that’s how God blesses us.

This popped on my feed, made me smile 🩵I am so happy for you!! I cannot wait to see what’s next on your journey and the build.

Such gratitude to Carrie (apologies if misspelled) what a magnificent blessing to bestow upon a fellow human. So good to see you smiling Mateo and ready for your next chapter and new adventures with Lars. Love to you all ❤

Thank you Carrie for giving this amazing man and his precious cat the opportunity to live in a more spacious home! ❤

I'm so happy for you and bless that woman and God will bless her so much and I can't wait to see the build❤❤❤

Thank you to Cari for her kindness! A little light of hope in the world! Congratulations Mateo and Lars!

Thank you Carrie! You are a blessing! You didn’t just give blu the van but all of us the van whom witnessed his Journey thus far! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Mateo - See how much God loves you! ❤ He put it on a total stranger's heart to bless you with a van. You're a very giving person, yourself. I remember how you had compassion on a stranger who (to no one's knowledge) only had a few hours left on this earth. You showed her kindness and concern. Also, you're always generous with your food. God sees your heart of giving, and He has given back to you. My husband and I couldn't be happier for you right now. You deserve it! Can't wait to see the van-build journey!!!

I was afraid you were settling down. YAY! Look how big she is! Tears of joy in my eyes for you. And me. ♥

LARS IS GOING TO LOVE THIS NEW HOME SO MUCH SPACE

Wow! Thank you Cari for gifting your van to Mateo. May God bless you in tenfold. Congratulations Mateo on your new home.❤

Shout out to Cari, caring people are still present, congratulations Mateo.

Thank you, Carey! think a lot of us were praying/hoping someone would bless you this way. I know that I have. This made my day. Wish I could send Kerry something for this amazing blessing. So happy for you Mateo and Lars!

Those big windows are going to be sweet. Larz is gonna love that.

I absolutely love this for you. As someone who lives in their car with RU-vid to have actual genuine people look out for you is amazing. I am so proud of you for taking the leap and trusting your gut. And thank you to her.

Cari is definitely a BLESSING!!! That’s a gem right there brother, STAY BLESSED🙏🏽🙏🏽

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD! He definitely used Cari as a vessel to show His goodness. 🙌🏽 This is amazing news. God bless you both🙏🏽💛✨

Oh thank god, I just found this channel like two months ago. I was worried Vanlife would end, and if I’m being completely honest, that’s what brings me here.

Dear God Bless this home. Keep Mateo and Lars safe in your protection and love.

God BLESS the beautiful woman that gifted this young man a new home/ vehicle!!! This story warmed my heart ❤❤❤❤

WOW. Ms. Carrie gets it!! What an angel. God bless her. This is an incredible testimony, Mateo. You literally spoke your blessing into existence. You were GIFTED a bigger van with 8K miles on it! Mind blowing. Peace and continued blessings to you and Lars. 🫡💯🔥💥🔥💥

8,000 miles that's amazing!!!! Great deal!! I can't wait to see the van makeup!!

What a wonderful lady! Cari, you're a super star! Good luck young nomad - the smile on your face speaks volumes!

They're really are still some good people in this world! Now i can't wait to see the van build! God bless you and Lars and the sweet Lady ❤

We need more people in this world like Cari. Congratulations on the new van, none of us thought you were quitting Vanlife. We all knew you would be moving into something bigger. I can’t wait to see the process of rebuilding this one. There’s another person that I follow who that’s doing the same thing. It’s such a joy to see people transform these vans that were transporting people into a home.

Cari you are a blessing. Thank you so much for helping Mateo receive his new home. We are all so happy to see Mateo will be able to continue on. This is fabulous. 🫶🙏

Just when I’m convinced that good people” are an urban myth. It’s amazing to see people help where they can. Peace love and Power.

Lord have mercy what a blessing .Thank you ma'am for help Mateo and Lars.

Thanks, Cari and everyone who assisted Mateo in getting and refurbishing his new home. Mateo and Lars, you're back!

OMG You got gifted an awesome van!! How generous and giving of Cari to just give you a new home!❤ The low mileage alone on that van is simply amazing! It will last you for years to come! Congratulations!

Your kindness never goes unnoticed Mateo… Carrie was watching over you and bestowed such a beautiful blessing upon you..

Carrie thank you for gifting Mateo 🎁 🙏 ❤️ Mateo Congrats cant wait to see the building work. Thats for sharing. ❤🎉😊

Wishing you nothing but happiness ❤

That was really nice for that woman to gift you that Van. I just hope you return a blessing one day. They still have wonderful people out here in the world. I hope she continues to be blessed.

Wow! I'm in tears. Such an amazing lady who gifted you the van. So excited to see your new journey!

Yay I knew it!!! I said he’s probably going to get a van he can stand up in. 🎉Congratulations on the killer gift. What an amazing blessing from her.

☺️Thanks Cari for Blessing our Friend Mateo and Lars with their new home. God Bless you and Everyone who reads this message. So Excited for you Mateo 🙏🏾❤️🤗

Mateo, I am so, so, soooooo happy for you and Lars. What an absolutely wonderful gift from Carrie. 8,000 miles????!!!! Are you kidding me? You now have a FOREVER home, with the head room that you wanted. I cannot wait to see what your build out will be. Praying for your continued blessings and looking forward to traveling along with you and Lars on your many adventures. Please reconsider an Amazon shop page, so that your internet family can bless you. Stay safe!!! Luv ya bunches.

Mateo, do you not own a winter coat, brother? If you don't, you'll certainly have space for one now! The engine sounds so good. Wow, what a beautiful soul to give you that van. It's very good you have a sibling who lets you stay with her in the meantime.

When I was 19 I took the Greyhound bus from California to Chicago to visit. My family brings back memories. Good old greyhound stay safe.

I knew it would be someone on social media to come through ❤ Your content is addictive and encouraging. Hope you've been filming and can't wait to see the progress and final new build.

Mateo, I'm watching this at work and I'm hoping no one comes into my office because I'm just in tears. You are a blessing and a light and it was not random that she came across your video. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos and after your last post, I decided I didn't want to miss you too long, so I went back to the beginning of your journey and have been watching all those videos. It is such an awesome feeling to see someone as genuinely kind and compassionate as you have an abundance of blessing rain down on him. I can't wait to see how this next chapter of your van life unfolds and follow along with all your adventures. 🙏🏾💕

Congratulations Cap!! What a generous, beautiful lady.. she didnt just gift a 'van' but a HOME! ❤

Having a vehicle with a free existing sign reminds you of my mother's former boss who was a psychologist and into Sailing (actually a rare example of a doctor that owned a sailboat before he got a medical degree) yeah but a pre-owned sailboat christened the "Sinalot." He was concerned that the "Sinfu"l name of the boat would give him a sort of bad rap around the wrong people and he didn't want to change the name of the boat radically so we can keep the signage as much as possible, so he rechristened it "Sinaloa.'

Cari is a hero!!! The inside looks so nice.

Shout out to Carrie ❤❤❤it takes an amazing person to do what you did.. may GOD continue to bless you ❤❤❤ congratulations to my friend , safe travels 🎉🎉🎉

She couldn't have chosen a nicer guy to gift to! Happy trails!

God is good. Cari, you are a blessing, and God will bless you for your kindness. I have tears in my eyes - This is so encouraging. Mateo, you are truly blessed. Never forget where your help comes from. I am so happy for you. God Bless you. 🙏❤️🙂

Wow 😲 8,000 miles a gift truly a blessing 🙌🏽 its worth $7300 taking a chance 2001 😊 can't wait to see the upgrade Vanlife

Thats a great deal for the vehicle and mileage… Thank you Cari for helping Mateo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

A work vehicle with only 8k miles sitting for 12 YEARS is unheard of. God's will be done! That was meant for you. So excited to binge watch the build videos next! 😂
