I had a lot of fun recorded this video last year in Montreal but I didn't have a chance to share it. Here it is! I hope you enjoy this video and gain some insights from my journey to yours.
One downside of owning a high-roof camper van is finding a place to wash it so I filmed
this video last year in Montreal with the help of a friend since I couldn't do it myself
I was doing it all by myself so I decided to wash my van for two reasons First of all
I was planning to store it for the winter and I thought that was a good idea
clean it off and wash away all the dirt and mud around my van in case it might ge
frozen solid it would damage the body of my van The second reason was because this va
as already taken me across the country so I thought it was a good idea to give the van a
thorough wash and a little reward after such a long journey And when I was looking for places to
Wash my van—there weren’t many places that could handle it since
most were automatic car washes designed only for smaller vehicles
This was the only spot I could find in the city and it barely fit my van I was genuinely
Really nervous—I wasn’t sure if it would fit There was only a few inches of clearance left at the ceiling
And I was nervous the whole way driving it wondering if I’d crash it into the ceiling
Back when I owned a car I had no idea how to wash one at a self-service station like this
I learned everything since I’ve had my van of course I didn’t pay much attention
to my car because to me it was just a machine that took me from one place to another
because I didn't spend much time in it I'd sometimes just take public transit to get
around the city since it's more convenient that way—until I started living in this van
at it has taught me to appreciate the little things to be more grateful for
everything I have in life and it's because my life is truly defined by this van
because of this way of life people get to know me through my van life If they just meet me and
Not knowing I live in my van they wouldn’t be so eager to get to know me Sometimes people just
approach me out of curiosity asking all sorts of questions because they see I live in my van
the van That's how this van has brought me to meet so many people and that's
also how I've made friends It truly defines who I am and another reason is because
It has truly helped me grow as a person through all the adventures it takes me on
—so many incredible places across Canada and so many amazing people I get to meet
along the way This van is not just a vehicle that takes me from one place to another It is
e reflection of me the mirror of my life choices and that is precisely why it is
what defines me It is also my home and because this is my home I have a direct connection
to it We all have a relationship with our surroundings whether it's with people objects or
animals or objects I see everything as energy and relationship is essentially a way of
exchanging energy between two entities—between us and another being or another object And so whe
we channel this energy into positive actions by showing love and care toward something or someone
It will thrive By taking care of my van I’ll help it last longer and perform
better—just as in human relationships where giving care yields the same result
and love toward someone we would have a happier and more harmonious relationship If you observe
your actions and behaviors between the things that work out in your life and the things tha
don't overlook what truly matters in your life and ask yourself if you've given enough care love and attentio
e things in life that don’t turn out the way you want despite your hopes and efforts—we expect so muc
but giving so little—we just want to check without putting in the effort However
we would struggle to receive if we didn’t give first because we’d feel unworthy
of receiving or we’d diminish the value of what’s given to us and therefore
We don't appreciate it—it's an energy exchange and thus follows a complete cycle If you 'd

because this van is a reflection of me—it's also my home so when I'm taking care of it
I'm also taking care of myself because it would give me a safe and reliable place to stay
would take me on so many more adventures So I'm hoping this video will help you stop
chasing distractions and start appreciating the small meaningful moments in your life
