#VANLIFE

Hola Amigees!
We can't believe it's taken us this long to visit Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We almost decided not to make the journey and we're so thankful something nudged us up this way.
While our luck with the weather has proven to be one of our largest challenges several weeks into #vanlife, we've decided to make the most of what we've got and make some memories regardless. Join us while we make a very muddy trek to the Pictured Rocks Lakeshore and take in the views of beautiful lake superior from Chapel Rock.
Life is good.

We're Mariajosé and Chase. In 2018 we sold our house, moved into our self-converted school bus and took off traveling the United States. We sold our bus, bought a new-to-us Sprinter Van and we're doing it all over again. If you're new to our channel, subscribe & stick around. We're excited to have you here.

    If you would have kept coming North you would have ended up in Sault Ste. Marie, and if the borders were open you could have come to Canada to visit the Canadian Sault, where I live. All of our hiking trails are dog friendly, but it's snowing here too. I'm so jealous that you get to drive to someplace warm while I'm looking at the start of 6 months of winter, lol. So glad you're sharing your travels with us all. Drive safely :-).

I can show you a walking trail right in the city where the chickadees are so friendly they'll eat right out of your hand :-). Mackinac Island in the UP is also really pretty and would make a nice vlog...it's an old fashioned touristy Island where no cars are allowed so you either have to walk, or rent a horse or bikes. They even have bicycles built for two. :-)

    For the dr bronners it needs a foaming hand pump, then you mix it with water. 1/4 bronners 3/4 water is the ratio I think. Hopefully that will help you not get anymore soap in your eyeball lol 😂

    I watch a lot of van life on youtube. Yours is the first that is in the US. It seems the US is more restrictive. I was surprised that your dogs were not allowed on the trail and that you have trouble some times finding a place to park overnight. Europe seems to be more flexible and welcoming to van life. I think I'd be discourage to travel in the US and would prefer Europe, even northern Africa. You do lovelly filming. Best to you both, Jane, Philadelphia
