This week we take a break from van life travel vlogs and sit down to answer your questions in a good old Q and A!
Find out our future plans, is there a new van build on the Horizon? Are we thinking of canal boat life? Do we want kids? And that all important question.. what is Emilys favourite snack?!

Hopefully you are enjoying this European travel series as much as we are and we are managing to show you just some of the stunning landscapes that France has to offer in this French travel vlog.
As usual, we have tried to include a bit of everything, some cinematic scenery mixed with our usual female van life foolery, we always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let us know, and as always, thank you for watching!
Follow us on our journey as we attempt to create a proper youtube travel series as we, two female travelers and vanlifers, attempt to travel across Europe in our rolling tiny home.

Love the video! Seems a shame that some of us women still have to explain why we dont want children 😔

And it's nobody else's business anyway. I don't think it's selfish to want your own time. I think it's more selfish to breed child after child.
I personally don't find it odd that two loving ladies together as a couple don't want children, what I find beyond odd is people whom have children & don't care for them, have them taken off of them & put into care & far worse. Well done you for being honest with yourselves & not just having kids to please others cos society says women should have them. Xx

This! Plus odd that anyone else has an opinion on whether someone else has children or not 🤷♀️ Also, it's not selfish to not have children- don't put yourself down just for not wanting kids :)
I totally agree that you shouldn't share your park ups. Your safety is paramount and other van lifers ought to do their own research into where they can or can't park up. I've previously looked at the clothing company as I'd like to purchase some of their clothing. Unfortunately, they limit the range of sizes that they offer for females.......would be great if you relayed that fact back to them, thanks. Have a great Christmas 🎄

Currently in Spain and it's almost comical when I navigate to a spot on Park4Night and it's rammed full of campers. Yet half a mile down the road there'll be a equally or better place with nobody there!
Guys you are a breath of fresh air for me ,I'm disabled can not do what you do ,but you sharing your vlogs and places that you go is like me travelling through your eyes ,.I really hope you enjoyed Scotland
Loved this one! Especially the look of SHEER PANIC on Emily's face over the "one snack for the rest of your life" question! And the banter. And the hugs. And the expertise. Thanks!

Thank you for everything that you share. Your vids are so interesting and refreshing. You 2 are one of my favorites bc you aren't doing unnecessary skin shots, you really and truly love your dog and can and not just to use them for vids, you to are an amazing loving couple yet individuals. And you're not continuously begging or promoting stuff. You should both should be so very proud of all that you have created.

Me and my wife decided we never wanted children before we got married. Once we were given a right rollicking from a couple who we worked with asking why on earth did we get married if we didn’t want children. Some people eh?! Loving your vlogs. Keep going please.

I have two, now adult children that I love so much. It’s rewarding, but very hard and restricting. I completely understand why some chose not to have them.
Louise - Yes, you are a fast talker, woodpecker fast, and you never stumble (maybe I just have slow ears), but I found a way to not miss a word...I turn on subtitles!!! .....and I'm a native English speaker...It works great. There's nothing wrong with devoting your lives to exploration rather than hearth and home....men have been doing it forever. It's not selfish at all to want to meet and understand people from everywhere and explore the environments where they live, with open minds and enthusiasm....it's why your channel is the best on KZread.

No kids is fabulous! I'm an aunty, dog mum, van owner, adventure seeking happy 54 year old who has never regretted not having children. Ps....have you tried a salad spinner for drying small items? I have a large one that even spins out my t-shirts and leggings. One at a time but it really helps 🙂

So enjoyed this video! Lou you put so much work into making these videos fun and Emily you always make me laugh!
I can't believe people actually get upset that you don't share parkups. Traveling is fun and a journey. Why would someone want to copy you? That takes the fun away. Plus it's your life and business. You are allowed privacy. Love you both to bits. You are both so real. Amazing channel. You are the best. Enjoy. ❤️
You are very sweet to take on a bunch of the questions that aren’t really anybody else’s business. After a while, I guess people start to feel like they really know you. All I can say is I enjoy virtually spending time with you and Summer and AJ. Have a great break!

Thank you for the videos this year. I've had fun following all your adventures. Hope you have an enjoyable Christmas whatever you are doing.
Well said. Travelled a bit myself in and out of the RAF and don’t believe a word of what appears in the U.K. media (don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story). Interesting video again.
when you come to Australia be sure to check out the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Some of the most beautful beaches down the southern end, known as The Bottom End, also Innes National Park..... truly breathtaking.
Great video as always enjoy and have safe travels
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks. Great questions. Great answers! Merry Christmas - Happy holidays - and all that jazz.
I am totally the same about mint chocolate. But I like each without the other a LOT. I agree that you shouldn’t share your parkups if you don’t want to. Your reasoning makes sense.
Excellent. Have a good Christmas and I'll be watching next year.
Loved this video, so many basics about vanlife all true & told with such a lot of humour. Emily looks so well after her holiday! Enjoy your break, looking forward to seeing you both in 2023! Sue & 🐶 🐶
As always, you're just lovely people! Thanks for your your dedication to each other and documenting your journey.
Hello from Oregon just wanted to drop in and tell you how much I enjoy your vlogs! Thank you for sharing and Happy Christmas and a wonderful new year!

Great video. Very informative and love the interaction between you two!
Love your channel whether it is travel or Q&A. I would also like to wish you both a merry Christmas and a happy new year - all the best for 2023 xx
Have a great Christmas and New Year!
Hi, loved the Q&A video. Enjoy your well earned break.
Nice comments about Sweden!!! Has a Brit. I moved here in 96. And yes it's very laid back here. It's rare to hear a car using its horn. And people in general obey the road laws. And we even don't see that many police on the roads for weeks and weeks. I just got my first van a couple of weeks ago and are converting it now.
Great hearing your answers, Lou your a rocky road , lots to offer . Have a great Xmas . We are 1 month in our journey and loving it. 👋🇦🇺💖
a nice update and Q&A video. Completely agree that your safety comes FIRST. Hope you ladies have a wonderful Christmas (with lots of snacks!) holiday season!
Really enjoyed this one, loved the insight, keep doing what you do.
I love how genuine, happy and in love you two are ❤ I’m still learning (at 54!) to be happy as I am but vanlife is definitely helping, so glad I took the plunge. Can’t wait for the live and enjoy your break xx
Hello Lue and Emily, I just wanted to say thank you for reading my question out on your Q&A vlog. I hope you guys have an amazing Christmas and a very happy new year and a well deserved break as well. hope To see more of you guys in the New Year

Great video thank you ladies. I confess I’ve always been a bad passenger and much prefer to drive. Have a peaceful and relaxing Christmas break and best wishes for your 2023 adventures
Good to see you. Upbeat and positive.
Totally agree that your safety is paramount. You must take care of yourselves. Love your vlogs, I am stuck in my life as a teacher, my choice as I am fufilling my life vocation, but thank you for allowing me to live the adventure through your travels. Merry Christmas ladies 🎄
I can't remember how I came to your channel but what a brilliant day it was. I've loved all your videos and watching your Q&A was just like hanging out with some cool pals. Have a scrumpatiouse Christmas and enjoy some time for yourselves! Thanks so much for being there for us all who need a bit of company! ❤
You two can do whatever you want to and others can bugger off if they don't like it. It would be a dream though, if you would come to the US, namely Ohio! Love your humor so much!
Recon you could drive almost all the way to Australia.
Merry Christmas!! We didn’t find your channel till October but we have binge watched all your videos apart from the lives we need to go back to watch those. Love your videos and can’t wait to see what exciting trips are in store for the future.
Great to see you back,glad you had a wonderful time .do what you have to do to keep safe that is first priority ,stalkers are a frightening thing to deal with .

Being a youtube creator isn't easy. Especially the part of finding new ideas and not getting burned out. The community side is amazing and learning about how youtube works is a lot of fun. Thank you for these amazing videos, everyone can tell how much effort goes in to them. 😄
To you both have a fantastic Christmas and all the best for new year and big hugs to AJ and Summer xx
Love these q and a's, me and the mrs watch every week and cant wait to visit some places you guys have got too! 👍👍
Re the last question and it's answer, I can honestly say that, after 41 years of marriage, compromise and heated/reasoned discussions are paramount to a happy life. My wife rules the house, I rule the car, caravan and the garage. Sorted ! That took us a long time to work out, but we are all different, so go at your own pace with that one, you'll get there. That goes out to everyone, of course. Yeah so all your answers are sound and good judgement. Being such well travelled folks as yourselves, all your reasonings are based on your expeiences, and you have loads of that to share. Keep it up girls! I'm inspired by your enthusiasm and sense of adventure. I too was a backpacker in my youth but only in the UK. However, Derbyshire in Autumn and North Yorkshire in Winter can be as harsh as any other place. I avoided Summer camping as like you say, the place just gets full of tourists. Being female shouldn't be any different to being male as far as vanlife is concerned, Lou looks a pretty strong gal, and Emmy looks a strongly pretty gal. what more can I say ? lol I say, Sod the ones who don't agree.!

Hi to you both, will try to watch you live on the 28th December, that's the day I'll be 70 years old, I started life in 1952, not sure where the middle 50 years went .? We have sold up and fulltime now. Been motorhoming for many years, and love the life. Keep up your lovely fresh ways.
Have a nice vacation! Merry Christmas
very well presented as always - amazing what we learn from you. thank youxxx
So potentially Canal Boat Vibe coming? And I reckon Lou is a Ferraro Rocher - hard shell and a soft centre!
Good vlogs girls. No do not share park ups. Good Q & A .
You guy’s are awesome and a total inspiration, your vlogs are a highlight of the week, never stop👌
As always, a totally honest and down to earth Q&A! I love watching your vids because you guys don’t “give a toss” they are your videos and your lives. As for canal boats, they are excellent, but as you said, take some work, money and effort. I have lived on a widebeam (a fat one) for nearly 6 years. A fantastic community and lifestyle. I also have a can :-). A VW Crafter L4H3 (with a shower). Not the easiest to park, but loads of space. Oh and better bodywork/mechanicals than the equivalent merc! Hope you all have a top Christmas and Happy New Year!
