A REAL Van Life WEEK in COLOMBIA

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

We hope you enjoyed today's Episode! As always we encourage your feedback, constructive criticism and ideas ~ we LOVE to brainstorm together. Much love & happy Sunday x

[@buckyvalo]

Max can you show how good you can surf?? Im realy interested in that!

[@dbryant3500]

Great video, the deeper you go into S.A. the more immersed you should get. Take baby steps outside your comfort zone. I don't want to harp on Kombi Life, but one the coolest things Ben did was set up a slack line when arriving at a new place and people seemed to flock to it. Especially kids and younger people, and they seem to be the best way to get to know an area and a culture...all that is being said from the comfort of my recliner less than 30 miles from where I was born.

[@dcarts5616]

Max & Lee why stop with just the beard? Hair cut time now too! DO IT!

[@DesertPepper]

How was the spinach soup?

[@smaelsthanly7218]

Max & Lee hello Guys

[@TheSandralr]

Watching you guys depresses me! I’m 50 and I go years without leaving my corner of the world.. but I love watching so thanks!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Aww that is not our plan Sandra haha!

[@mybluesaway6856]

Watching this video, seeing you guys so happy with such good vibes makes it all the more heart wrenching to accept Lee's passing So incredibly sad 💔

[@harper_anne2089]

I'm watching it in 2024, and it's heart wrenching even now. I don't believe time heals, we just have better days than others as time goes by. Those I love and have lost never become a distant memory. I miss them even more.

[@donnapfeffer3659]

So sweet , wish she was still here

[@isabelkupilik3895]

Occy is quite possibly the smartest dog on the planet. Gotta love him!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

He certainly thinks so! 😉

[@elizabethpankewycz6160]

You guys are far and away the best van life vloggers out there! Loved the day to day stuff, Sprinter van maintenance made interesting, and of course ALL things Occy! He was so brave with the escalators! Appreciate you adding the bits about how the escalators helped the growth and development of the area...may I suggest a few more clips showing where you are traveling on local maps? The Artwork was breathtaking, the slides were so cool, breakdancers were mind blowing!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Definitely Elizabeth, thanks for sharing your suggestions with us and thanks for being an active member of our community 💜💜

[@MaxEffort69420]

check out Kombi Life ;) kzbin.info

[@iamlight1]

I ♥ Occy. That dog has the prettiest face, puppy eyes and chilled personality ever! So glad you're cleaning his teeth regularly, it's so sad when a dog has to lose its teeth. One of the best things people can do for their pet. He is in good care. ♥ Lee has such a killer body.

[@keawhitmore3842]

Love it! Really like seeing the day to day. Huge blessings, for showing the everyday people! Fabulous.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Stoked you enjoyed it Kea!

[@Pumpkintiti]

Occy is most definitely living the life. #BLESSED

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Definitely!

[@evernod]

I appreciate that you guys make an effort to show and talk about the culture where you're going. Fascinating place that feels far out of reach for a lot of us. So thank you.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Our pleasure!

[@AB-C1]

Such a good video, but such a tragedy Lee no longer with us! 😥 You guys were having so much fun here.. God bless you Lee. RIP. 💔🙏❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@brittanya05]

Occy looks like he is having the time of his life! I loved seeing him on the slide!

[@Jacky082298]

I loved this! 💕 Occy on the slide was my favorite part! 😍🐶💕

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Stoked to hear it Jackie!

[@anguskisses112]

Thanks for a truly informative episode! The star of the show sliding down the slide was the cutest ever!! Big hugs to Occy, his spirit makes my day!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Occy is undoubtedly the star Angus!

[@dcoleman7257]

SOOOOO much fun to see you doing normal chores AND finding time to feed the soul and the body with so many kinds of beauty. this was real! this was great! your joy in your journey infuses & transforms us. thank you so much! :)

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Aww stoked you enjoyed it Deborah!!

[@NoemieOrtiz]

It's so refreshing to see Occy try out new things like ; escalators, and a bus ride.He is such a good champ.I really enjoyed watching the off camera things, like cleaning the van parts/ maintenance, Max shaving his beard and a Dentist visit for a cleaning job.All part of normal day to day things.I can't leave out that delicious meal, rice ,beans etc.Thanks, for sharing.All Blessings to everyone. Amen ! 🙏❤🙏🤗

[@Itsselannabiggs]

Absolute best part of my day is watching your vids, you inspire me and so many to experience the full joy and beauty of life for what it is. Keep going and never lose your enjoyment for life and living. Total inspiration!

[@lisamclean6253]

You guys are the best. Watching this was a perfect way to start my Monday morning. Occy makes my heart melt 💕💕

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

We are so happy to be apart of a new week Lisa, have a great Monday 💜

[@rrowdyrogers707]

"I'm not even sorry"... that made me laugh out loud. Great video!! Lots of firsts for Occy. Glad he was able to go everywhere with you.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

😂Thank you glad you liked it!

[@batwood8010]

Loved this episode! Thank you. Day in the life is a great way to go. Wow--you're at 200K viewers. Occy almost stole the show. Colombia got a lot of bad PR in the states for so long, now it's jumped way up on my list to do-see. The government of Colombia should provide you with a stipend!

[@renaluis5171]

Great job showing that all 3 of you actually brush your teeth! I thought that was hilarious! I love seeing all the ins and outs of van life and knowing that it's not all just the glamour and ease you see in pictures. You guys have opened up so many interesting topics between my boyfriend and I and where we plan to travel, and different hurdles to keep in mind. We're living vicariously through you for now, hoping to get our own adventure soon! Please post videos more often! I hate waiting all week for your Sunday posts!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Haha happy to do it Jessey! And stoked to hear we are getting you both talking travel! I'm afraid for now we can't manage more than one a week. Thanks for following along on the adventure!!

[@strawberryrhubarbpie]

You're my new favorite vlog. I'm in love with Occy! What a fearless, adventurous, joyful puppers!!

[@blankabodnar7493]

Haha Occy taking the stairs second time around instead of the slide :) Love it! Can't wait for next week!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Thanks Blani, see you next week :)

[@stevesing7827]

Lee always look like in very good shape. After seeing her exercise routine and that jumped to the wall. I can tell from your videos you are genuinely love each other. Love to both of you and your precious dog.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Thanks Steve!

[@cayefernandezg]

You guys give me such good vibes and energy! I love your little family and send you huge support from a Spaniard studying in Japan!!!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Aww great to hear Cayetana! And wow, we would love to visit Japan some day!!

[@melonydever]

This was such a fun video to watch! Those kids dancing were incredible 🤩

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Glad you enjoyed it Melony! They were very talented dancers and inspiring to watch!

[@introvertedlens]

Again, just simply over the top amazing. Love you sharing sharing the traveling and also your day to day. Thank you Max & Lee and Occy. You three are awesome.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Aww thank you so much mate!!! Thank you for being a part of the adventure!

[@stevecarroll8513]

Love seeing the places you visit, you have a great way of capturing it. Thanks

[@kianagibbons1920]

I live for these Sunday vlogs, you guys are my role models + Occy ❤️ you guys are the best, and your vlogs want me to live you guys in the van!😂

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Aw we are touched to hear that Kiana, thank you :) x

[@akshaygolchha]

I'm addicted to three of you ♥️ even after all the struggles of van life you keep it real simple, always wears a smile and only spreads positivity 🙏 Much Love Strength for future adventures 💓

[@hf3490]

Love this video. Laughed out loud at Occy on his adventures. So cute on slide. Guess he decided the stairs were easier. 😂 Continue on with your great adventures. Stay healthy and safe. 💕😎🇨🇦

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Stoked you enjoyed it Heather!! And yes Occy is the bomb!

[@jimbeam4694]

Just coming by for my weekly dose of envy. Love you guys, and love what you're doing. Can't wait for next week!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Thanks Jim, as always glad to have you back & see you next week!

[@tatianamoreno5370]

Omgggg so many smiles watching this!!

[@mariem3358]

I still have to get used to seeing Max without his beard :) I loved seeing Occy on the slide & then deciding to take the stairs 😆 Such a smart boy!!! Too bad the video was shorter than usual, i truly enjoy your vlogs!! Give Occy some hugs, treats & kisses from me, he's such a wonderful dog!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

We are so glad you enjoyed watching this weeks video Marie!! 💜Occy is a smart boy, thats for sure!

[@MrAleclol]

Such a great video once again. Shows the highs and also the struggles of the journey :) must be good to have Max knowing his way around the sprinter! This channel is one of the few which inspires and shows great authenticity! Greetings from Switzerland

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Thanks so much for your support Alec - I can't wait to see Switzerland one day! I really appreciate Max's willingness to learn everything about our sprinter, he has saved us A LOT of money so far by working on the van himself - I won't for a second lie and say that I have been much help on that front other than handing over necessary tools when needed. See you next week ✌🏼

[@AnneEWilliamson]

Oh, the nightmare of cleaning a dog's teeth...yep, I feel you. And Occy on an escalator is so adorable! He looked so confused for a second and then he was like, "Okay, I got this!"

[@biablackbutterfly]

Yaaaas he was so so cute on the escalator

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Yeah I can't say we have succeeded with the dental task yet! Hahaha yes he was very confused the first few times but was a pro by the end!

[@kathifoynm]

Occy down the slide then stairs, you two working on your computers, doing chores, clicking off goals, exercising, interacting with locals, including local history without being preachy, brushing Occy...everything Occy. Lee, you are a good sport to let Max include your snooze at the end. Max, enjoy your explanations of car maintenance. Stay well and be kind.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

We tried to cover all the bases Kathi, glad you enjoyed it!!

[@gac914]

Occy was having quite the time with the ladies. . . . he's a real charmer!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

He's definitely a ladies man!

[@jennayy08]

Thank you so much for sharing all that Colombia has to offer! Warms my heart to see people from around the world and seeing them love Colombia like I do. Looking forward to seeing more vlogs there 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Our pleasure Jenny! It is an amazing country you have here!!!

[@FemkeBogers]

I really like the drone parts, the occy parts, the max and lee parts. Also like learning more about the vanlife, the countrys and cultures. Keep up the nice videos! 😘 😍😁

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Aw thank you!! We will do our best x

[@z.j.maayan8458]

Lee passed out at the end was awesome! Great video- I always learn something from you guys. Thanks!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Ha it was a big day 😊

[@feliciadoucette5595]

Checking in for my weekly Sunday Max&Lee and Occy video! This was great, I love seeing the world through your videos! 💕💕💕

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

We are so happy to bring you along with us Felicia 💜Thanks for watching

[@belizeguy]

Amazing how Columbia has transformed into a safe and secure destination for travelers. Love this every day style video . Thanks

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Yes Colombia has blown us away!

[@paolapitt]

Adoro o amor e cuidados que vocês têm pelo cachorrinho...(a)..........LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andreabucher9123]

Much like many others.. watching Occy fly down the slide was awesome! However, seeing him get ready for round two and then pump fake Lee and beat her down via the stairs just made me laugh out loud! Had to watch it over and over! Stay safe and love watching y’all !

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Ha he is way too smart for his own good Andrea!!

[@kloveshearts]

a massage at the dentist!? how nice! maybe more people would look forward to getting their teeth cleaned if we did that here in the US! very cool

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Right?! Above and beyond customer service - no wonder their reviews were positively through the roof! SO smart.

[@heydanmonhawk]

That was the coolest thing! I call my dentist the Russian vampire. She would never!!! It makes sense though to calm the patient especially at the dentist.

[@talithahiggs1912]

we don't get it EVER in the uk

[@AParkerRn09]

Occy on the slide & cheating down the steps was everything!!! So adorable 😂

[@GReddy81]

Every time I watch ur vids, it makes me feel good or I would say it brightens my day..thanks Max, Lee and Occy! Greetings from Singapore

You three are my favorite van people. Thanks for posting your experiences.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Aww thank you Wolf!! That is an honour as we know there are so many amazing van lifers out there!! Our pleasure 😊

[@sagewellness4801]

Really enjoyed watching your daily chores and adventures in Columbia. Occy going down the slide was so cute! Didn't take him long to figure out the stairs was a better option lol. Enjoy your journey!!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Stoked you enjoyed it!!

[@rosyplasencia9397]

Every time I watch your vlogs I feel like I am on vacation with you guys! You guys are so genuine love your vibe 💗😁

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Aww we love hearing this Rosy!

[@RubioSaga]

Randomly I was watching this video since Colombia is my home country and how small is this world and i truly didn’t know and also not expecting to see my cousin being your dentist. Awesome !! Hope your enjoyed Colombia and safe travels. Ps; I live in Canada, Alberta .. say hello to my girl Lee.

[@jadegrenier8015]

just binged-watched all of your videos and wow, you guys are so genuine and inspiring! i'm from canada too and will certainly continue to watch your adventures and i wish you nothing but good things :)

[@tmotten]

Top tip from another overseas Aussie learning mechanical stuff over the years from tooling around with bikes mostly, get a box of medical gloves (ask a few from the dentist) so save cleaning with bare hands. I used to get sore hands after working with engine oil a lot. Skin is porous but I'm sure that's no news. Great channel. Good editing. Reminds me of all the learnings on my past travels. Keep it going.

[@Kitty-id9dd]

Oh my gosh! I'm an Rmt and as soon as I saw that I got so excited! What an awesome dentist.

[@annacleghorn8482]

Great to see all the behind the scenes of your daily life! Thank you for an amazing video once again! Occy is hilarious and smart too! Escaping the slide! Hahaha! :D

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Stoked you enjoyed it Anna!

[@magiccarpet555]

Watching Occy ride the slide just made my day 😂

[@wyatth.9425]

You guys should do a what we eat in a day vlog!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Thanks for the suggestion! Maybe one day we will, we aren't the best chef's but we have a few tricks up our sleeves :)

[@marianaossa7462]

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Always 😊

[@mkb9464]

Love your videos, I am amazed how Occy adjusts to every place you go

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Thank you and yes I swear nothing phases him these days!

[@dedwin8930]

Enjoyed this episode very much! The locals the markets,the street performers. Thanks from,Dennis. Watch his paws on escalators, my friend had his tennis shoe sucked in. His paw hair can get pulled in !

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Ah yeah that would not be good! We will be extra weary if the opportunity to ride one again arises for Oc! Thanks for watching Dennis, see you next week!

[@etoyaandrey9558]

Ребята, вы классные!

[@ZidaneBaggio99]

I recently visited Comuna 13 and I didn’t see the slide unfortunately. But watching Occy go down the slide made me happy 😊. Great channel guys 👍🏼🔥

[@patrickdumont8670]

If you get an air compressor hose at the gas station you can clean your air filter and reuse it easily or keep as spare if need be.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Ah great tip! Thanks Patrick!

[@patrickdumont8670]

@@MaxLeeandOccy you're welcome. A good way to know it's clean with a flashlight you have to see through the filter.

[@judithmelvin7392]

Another great video. Lots of firsts for Occy, he did so much better than my dogs would on an escalator, but the descent on the chute was my favourite. I love all the information that you give us about every place you go, at 47 years old I can still learn new things about the world I live in.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Thank you Judith! We are so happy you enjoyed this weeks video! Occy amazes us everyday with his adaptability to daily adventures!
