Rewatching your videos....remembering better times.... it’s like she’s still here...forever beautiful and young! I’m glad she got to live such a huge full life since it wasn’t meant to be a long one! ♥️
I’m not so sure she was “meant” to die young. This series of videos is so well done I just can’t help but wonder what Lee might be doing if she hadn’t felt so desperate to end her life. It sure seems as if van life can be hazardous to ones health. Especially if your a woman. 🤷🏼♀️
@@islandbirdw van life wasn’t “hazardous” to her health….it was the hateful trolls who relentlessly bullied her online (mostly here on RU-vid). She was treated awfully, called horrible names, mainly by one asshole who (i believe) was jealous of Max and her relationship. He was a wannabe Vanlife RU-vidr who took pleasure in being a prick. He’s gone from here now and has to live with knowing that all the horrible shit he said and harm he caused took a life!
@@beautybyleanne76”Hazardous” “risky, dangerous” It’s the risky part, exposing your life on YT comes with its own set of inherent risks. One of which is exposing yourself to strangers on line. So yes IMO exposing ones lifestyle on a public website like RU-vid comes with its own set of hazards. Gabbie & Lee are casualties.
RIP Lee, u were such a beautiful person with apt of light to shine. I never would have known your struggle even as a former RN that has been on my own mental health journey. It is soo stigmatized but life can be very cruel, painful, and unbearable journey at times and my heart aches for you that someone pushed you to the point of no return. Lots of love and I hope you are in a beautiful pain free place also known as heaven!
Unfortunately I found out about Max & Lee just recently. So much love there. My brother took his own life and shattered my world. Please never make a permanent decision for a temporary situation. Gone too soon, but her love and light shines on in these videos.
I didn’t know you :( my family lives in SB and saw this awful incident on the news..I am so sorry for your pain and how you suffered..hope you are in a better place 🌈
one of my favorite videos from Max and Lee... happy, content, peaceful together, loving life. This is how I want to remember this trio. Happier days, before the heartbreak. "In loving you, I am forever changed."
16:02 - my absolutely favorite scene. So simple, so touching. I just hope i get to live similar moments in my life and that i'll b e able to enjoy them like you guys. Best regards to everyone reading this. Peace
Great video! I loved when Lee turned the camera to Max and said, “Here’s the best view.” Also, when you filmed making dinner. That whole scene brought me in a little closer as a viewer. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
@@MaxLeeandOccy hola San Carlos es para Ustedes 😯 oh sorry San Carlos it's for you guys; Jardin, Concepción, Jericó and Santuario lovely small towns 😉😉😉
Thanks guys. Absolutely beautiful. Hope the van engine problems are fixed. Hard to find beautiful or extraordinary places that you won't find tourist. It's the nature of the beast. Love your videos, whatever they are about.
Very true Steve! The nice thing about the van though is it can often get us to those spots at different hours from the peak tourist time 😉. We were just a bit late off the mark with the rock haha. We hope the engine is fixed too! Thanks mate!
That view from the rock parking lot was incredible. Making me want to go for a swim. And then the Escobar estate, just beautiful property. The lake looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, it's like we are really there with you seeing the amazing sights. For a different type of film, how about one for om the perspective of Occy? E. G. A day in the life of a van life dog.
Thanks Ryan!! And we have actually made one of those a few n=months back in El Salvador but perhaps we need another! Thank you for being a part of the adventure!
Wow, Colombia is absolutely gorgeous! It’s so nice to see the footage of Pablo Escobars house, wow dance floor/bar on the top, next to a lake! Whoo! Occy is so precious, love seeing him in the video❤️
I enjoy the “day in the life” type videos. Doesn’t matter that you might not travel but just do chore type things. It’s good to get real about van life and not just the beautiful days. Thanks for allowing us to share your adventures!
I think everything is interesting. Buying grocery, Columbias history, its people, the plants - whatever. Great video as ever, thank you for taking us along
Y’all are just so beautiful to look at individually and together!! I hope to find the connection that y’all have one day in my life!! Safe travels and good luck with the van! I look forward to sundays just for y’all! Peace and love always! -CaitDes! ❤️ ✌🏼
You've upped your editing game big time. Lovely video. Is that a hostel you were in? But you slept in your van? I'd love to know what you guys are upto when you're not filming for a vlog. What do you do all day...every day? (Like I go to work from 9 to 5 to work behind a desk. How exciting eh?) Just a regular routine day video would be nice.
Thanks Mona! And yes, well it is a 'guest house' but pretty much the same thing as a hostel, just a more homey vibe. And yes, that's why they are so great for overlanders, they let you stay in the van in the driveway but give you access to all their facilities (including kitchen, showers, toilet and wifi) at a much cheaper rate. It costs us around 10 bucks total for all 3 of us per night. Not bad for in the heart of the city! And you know what, we honestly don't know where all the days go haha. Thank you for the suggestion on a 'non travel' day in the life : )
Amazing! The places you three have been to, just simply amazing! I'm so glad I found your RU-vid channel, I'm a total fan. Thank you for sharing and safe travels! 🚐
Beautiful Video, especially that Penion mountain, that you can go to the top.Excellent view, so Cute to see Occy raced to go up.Delicious food cooked by Max & Lee .And seeing Occy meet so many new doggy friends.A wonderful opportunity to meet other people who built thier van and are also on journeys. Thanks, for sharing.All Blessings to everyone.Amen !🙏❤🙏🤗
Amazing! Great to see an Escobar relic, can imagine it would feel surreal being there. Also loving being a patreon, getting early access, patreon only content and being able to help support the amazing content that you guys put out. Thanks
It was crazy Brendon!! And thank you so much for your support as a Patron!! I honestly don't think we'd be able to keep producing content without the wonderful support from our Patreon family!!
me? Want to thank you both for doing what you do. I'm a single parent and wish to travel as you do. And your adventures give me hope to one day to enjoy to freedom of life. Love you all for being who you are. Keep it going
Almost 200K...Congratulation! Since you will be saying in one place for a bit how about a video on where you get your groceries and supplies as well as what the prices are. I love going along on your journey each week!!!
Glad to see you both taking your vehicle maintenance very seriously on such a challenging trip. Installing an extra fuel filter and adding fuel injector cleaner to the fuel periodically will also minimize the clogging problems which the outlying areas are known for. You also both seem to be greatly de-stressed and very much at home in today’s video which is good to see. Looking forward to more videos of this higher caliber, so keep up the good work, have fun but always be aware of your surroundings to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Vaya Con Dios, amigos y tengan cuidado!
Really, whatever you share is going to be great. It is just something about the tow of you and Occy! You are all so lovable! I am so happy to see how quickly your channel has exploded and I am very impressed with how quickly your video filming and editing skills have skyrocketed. Just keep doing you!
Loving your videos, it makes me think how amazing it would be to just finally have the best time of your lives. I love how everything's surreal, such an inspiration!
cooking vegan in the van videos would be awesome. like recipe videos :) i would like to start eating more vegan / vegetarian dishes and good recipes are much appreciated. your vlog was awesome, as always :D
Aww thank you Jasmin and great suggestions! Our friends Eamon and Bec are putting out a vegan ebook soon and we can't wait to start trying their recipes! Good on you for giving it a go 😊
This sounds exactly like Max......does Lee ever comment or just you? Lol jk mates I’m being silly but vegan is awesome and I love this channel along with its comments:):):) cheers! Y’all Rock💯God bless
@@MaxLeeandOccy but also stop to think...maybe that is exactly why you had this meteorical rise to almost 200k subs. You forget yourselves and give what people want and they lap it up (I do too...a big fan)!
yee Its funny . I went vegan for a while. Looking back, it was some of the best tasting food ive ever made. I think it was because i was putting so much thought and effort into my meals trying to compensate for not having meat in there.
Wonderful again! I"m enjoying catching up with you guys, as I've not been well and have missed you! Love your bamboo toothbrush! Thank you and sooooo good to see you all and Occy having fun with the new girl! Heheeeeeee Xo
You guys are so amazing & adventurous. Keep posting more videos. Add some snippets of the place's history & culture and some unknown interesting facts. Both of you look great, lovely smiles. Keep going. Love from India.
You look so happy and relaxed now, so good to see you like this. What a beautiful family, Lee can’t be prettier. Btw Max, tu español es muy bueno, kudos for learning a new language. Safe travels. Give Occy a big hug 🤗 from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Thank you! Yes we were surprised at first too. The tolls add up, we spent about $60 over a long drive (10+ hours) on tolls. But, we are happy to contribute as we appreciate the importance of well paved roads!!
Guys I like all yalls vlogs. Information especially all the beautiful places y’all go but at the same time the realness of the problems that do happen through life are welcomed as well. It’s not always roses. I tried to start filming and did so with a lot of my cruises but have since given it up because of the work load lots of people don’t realize that go on behind the camera. So cheers to you guys stay safe and stay true to yalls vision.
Travel With Us thank you! And so yes you understand how much work actually goes in to it! RU-vid is definitely not the cruisey (pardon the pun) job people think it is. Sometimes we love it, sometimes not. That’s all part of it though!
Another great video guys. I’m loving this journey. Regarding the video ideas - a typical day for Occy. He is just so cute! I have an Aussie too and know how special they are.
I love you videos because you are both (and the adorable Occy) so authentic and nothing is done just for shown. I also love how you throw in little bits of history etc about the places you visit, they make me feel even more like I'm there and learning all the local info. Max's Spanish seems to be coming along quite well, how's Lee going with learning it? I am seriously happy to watch anything you put out, when you were saying you have to hang around the town where you are to get the sprinter fixed, I think you manage really well to put out interesting videos full of local information, historical, political, social, cultural etc. I just want to hear that everything is A OKAY with the van BEFORE you head off into the wild blue Colombian yonder so we can all feel secure in knowing you won't have trouble!! Stay safe. Love and blessings from Australia xoxo
Hey Angela, thank you, as always for your love, support and feedback! Max is doing well with his Spanish, I on the other hand am lacking his confidence with speaking, I tend to overthink and become much more shy than my true self with fear of speaking incorrectly. However, after much time my comprehension is improving and I hope continued exposure to the language will keep helping both of us with our competency. So far we think all the van issues are solved but will keep you up to date xx
Many years in Colombia, I’m just so surprised they’re not showcasing the incredible Colombian food especially from the Medellin region? Bandeja Paisa, chicharon, morsilla, yuca frita, empanadas, patacon pisado, pescado frito, sancocho de gallina, and of course tamales!! I don’t know what the stuff was that they made but I wouldn’t feed it to the poor dog.... it’s so unfortunate when TOURISTS just reject the local culture....
I love all your videos how you keep it natural. I'm always happy with whatever you bring. Watching Occy is a favorite. What a happy dog. So cute when he was setting in his spot behind the driver's seat looking out the window. Not a care in the world. 😄👍
another great one , max and lee, love the whole video, i will never get to see the places if wasn’t for your amazing videos love them glad to here your van / house is moving without issues, Okki ❤️
Why does Lee always look beautiful, and Max looks like a bum that could use a bath ? At any rate it's good that you're earning your way around, begging on Patreon, PayPal, links to Amazon, and whatever RU-vid pays you. Great.
I don’t really know how I stumbled across your videos of the three of y’alls journey through life. However, I am so glad I did! I have truly enjoyed tuning in with your travels and just day to day. I have a few questions about your van build.
There's a feeling growing inside me that tells me that social media is one sided....almost fake in a sense. It's a one sided conversation that only lets us see and hear you, but doesn't give ether of us the chance for a conversation, where you can see the emotion of my words, of facial expression.
