Nomads Meet Up in Kalispell - Day 1 | Minivan Camping & Van Life Adventures in Montana

[@vonrollveeg]

I just want to say... I'm old (76), Up until November, I used to travel all over the west. I was gone about 3 weeks every month, 12 months a year. Live was good. Then my dog got sick in November - he had been a very healthy 16 lb Chihuahua. Now he has Cushing Syndrome, severe osteoarthritis in his hips and some kind of tumor in his blatter. I owe him a lot, so I've stayed home and make sure he has a comfortable and happy life. Now I've stumbled across your channel - watching you videos really helps, more that you'd think. I just wanted drop this note so that you know your work is very much appreciated. THANKS.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Awwww. Well, thank you. I'm sorry to hear about your Chi. You sound like an incredible dog parent.

[@bettybrigance6784]

Montao has a channel "winterisblue"... I love his videos...I'm glad you got to be there and had fun too....👍👍

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Yes Matteo is super fun. He calls me "Mandy." 🤣 We get along well!

[@debrahshumaker4125]

Lol I commented before reading the comments!

[@PainKiller0247]

Found this through Mateo’s video. Godspeed noble travelers!!!!

[@sueweis1489]

20 years ago, drive from Missoula to Kalispell was my favorite inthe whole world.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It's beautiful!

[@dawnmtwild5409]

Oh my gosh I just seen this 🎉 I live full time in my 2008 Ram Sprinter Near Missoula I am 63 and have lived here all my life.

[@sharonsparks4299]

Some of this looks like the Stupa in Sedona. Powerful places, these honoring the Buddha.

[@LuvStLCards]

I ❤the REAL FOOD JUDGE!! 😂

[@darlaarnold2376]

this looked like somuch fun sorry you did feel well hugs .

[@joyceullom8037]

I love Brock’s Bucee’s shirt😃

[@Jan-fy5mh]

I thought i saw you on Mateos video. Thats awesome. It looked like alot of fun. Hope you feel better soon. Honey and cinnamon is good for that.❤

[@4yellowwolf]

I knew Mateo was going to win. He’s a chef ❤ love to meet him 👍🏼

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

He didn't know what he was going to make until 30 minutes into the competition 🤣🤣

[@Stay_tooned]

Needed a pick me up today so I looked for you , of course. Your videos don't have to be up lifting, although they are wonderful... any of your vids work for me....even if a distraction. I mean this better than the way it is sounding....can't think today. Thanks for sharing all you do. I hope you feel better!

[@PawnInTyme]

You and Brock together really crack me up. You guys have great chemistry, even if he does try to annoy you at times. 😅

[@just__celia]

That Buddha garden looks amazing! I'd love to see that someday. And the meet up looked like fun. It was great to see many familiar faces.

[@judyconnelly6919]

This is so funny. I just finished watching Matao's video with the cooking contest. I saw Brock was there and then I saw you!! Small world!!! Love your video too ❤❤❤

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It was a blast!

[@pkelso05]

Same!

[@s4medlyn]

I loved it everybody happy includeing Winston.

[@juliehoot3916]

Hi Amanda, loved the Buddha garden. Would be amazing to walk around there and absorb anything I could absorb! Have you tried a small sun umbrella? When Wynston is in his pack it would keep you both so much cooler. You would still have one hand free to film! 😂 🌂

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I need to buy one, Julie! I have a regular umbrella that I suppose I could use!

[@juliehoot3916]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda The light weight SPF 50 sun umbrellas, with holders, silver in color, may work better. Customer reviews say it feels about 10 degrees cooler under umbrella and I can tell you, yes, it does! The umenice looks like mine on Amazon. Mine is so old markings all worn off. 😁

[@stargater2892]

Matteo sent me. New sub. Watched your cooking comp on winterisblu's channel.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thanks for being here!

[@deladyakarobin4777]

Ahhhhh You got to see Matteo!! You're so lucky :)

[@SteveGold-o6q]

I’d say that Wynston was the best judge. Did he get to do a taste test? That looked like a lot of fun. The only thing that would have made it better was if there was cooler weather and a little shade. Glad you’re feeling better Amanda. I was kinda feeling the same as you l but and thankfully, I’m feeling much better today.

[@SteveGold-o6q]

Wrong name on my comment again. Apologies.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I'm glad you're feeling better!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

That's okay - I know who you are. 😘😉

[@dianejohnson1991]

Just finished watching Winterisblu. Y’all had fun

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

We did!

[@OBMGalaxy14-qu6ml]

Wynston sucking up the heat...precious! I love this vid Amanda! Keep em rolling...peace, be safe, I hope to meet yall someday. Part time van camper, Chuck. More Emergen C..add to hot tea, do not chase with a beer😉

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thanks friend!

[@NomadicPride]

Loved the cooking competition! Get well soon! 🤗

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thanks John! I'm feeling much better overall.

[@k8barkley]

Nice meetup❤😂❤ Ya all should do this more often❤ So much fun❤😂❤

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It's always fun to get together with nomads. It's more difficult than you'd think to bring everyone together, since we're all always traveling in different places. 🤣

[@k8barkley]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda I can imagine❤ That was a very nice turn out n seemed like so much fun; thanks for sharing that❤👍❤

[@kyleproulx4911]

I hope you are having a great road trip so far

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you!

[@DianaEwing-z2z]

How cool was all that.....

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed again Amanda and Wynston

[@pkelso05]

Funny. I was watching Mateos video and there at the end I see you and Winston.."Hey I "know" those 2" Had to jump straight over here.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Ahahaha, I love that. 😍

[@susanmay9261]

I love Mateo!!

[@jasonjones5213]

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

[@NinjaBooKitty]

[@margannaful]

We've missed you on your channel! Glad to see you back :)

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I can't believe I didn't upload for 4 days. Definitely not like me! 😅 But I've been SO busy driving, and I've only had cell service half the time!

[@OutdoorSerenity77]

I have been sub to all u guys for awhile, but cant seem to find Christina's channel. Does she do youtube? Good times make good memories, stay safe and good adventures! ✌

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

She does not KZbin.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

[@skiitax8]

Do you mind sharing what kind of dashcam you have? Thank you

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I don't have a dash cam. I just use my phone on a holder.

[@alanshaffer6724]

Hey Amanda

[@n3cKb0nZ]

Any collab video with Mateo is thumbs up (winterisblu)

[@odettec1]

Oh poor Amanda; you coming down with Brock's bug an all, see its too much kissing 💋 lol..😅

[@debrahshumaker4125]

I had the same thought 😅

[@karenherrera7752]

Putting up a tarp for shade by your van can help. My husband would always put one up for me or I would overheat bad.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I have one - unfortunately I left some of the awning parts back in Arizona at my mom's house because I didn't think I'd need it.

[@jessespencer1019]

My question, why the hell is a Buddha statue sanctuary in Montana of all places?

[@debrahshumaker4125]

I had the same thought 😅

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Due to a prophetic vision that was realized by buddhist Sang-ngag Rinpoche during a trip to Montana.

[@JKART-do5jc]

How do you find these nomad meetups? I recognize some you tubers. Maybe you are all connected online???

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

This was a private meetup by invite. We're all in a friend circle.

[@maryfry920]

Hi Amanda, you are so busy . Hope you feel better soon. Perfect driving music

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Thank you Mary. I look forward to slowing down.

[@s4medlyn]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda But not to much OK kido!!!

[@aquarianspeak]

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

LOL. No. I definitely didn't have that...🤣
