[@colh2726]

You both take care as well. Hope to hear from you again soon. Thanks for letting myself and others into your adventures.

[@petuniablog]

maddie, i have been here for a year and I cant tell how much you helped me go through tough times in my life with you videos. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR EVERTTHING. i just feel soo emotional watching this video. I cant wait for the next chapter!

[@dianethompson463]

Maddie looking forward to seeing your new adventures. You are such a beautiful light and I'm thankful to see you again.

[@pme166]

Your van-life era will be missed. We look forward to the next step in our journey.

[@moiraw1111]

Life changes: As an almost 23 year old I backpacked across Europe from the UK and from Greece flew to Australia. That was in 1978 and I'm still here! Travel is my favourite thing and always will be; so I really connect with your travels and adventures & ups and downs of this journey in life. Enjoy your next chapter Maddie, can't wait to see where you end up. Safe travels! 💚💕

[@michaelwetzlich159]

I found your channel about six months after you first started and have loved every episode since. You have encouraged me to do Van Life as soon as I retire in a couple of years. I was so hoping to one day run into you on the road and tell you in person how much you have changed my life on so many levels. I have a piece of your art work and your bees grace the back of my cell phone. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@bajahama]

Bittersweet to see your last vanlife video, but I’m excited for your new adventures, new friends, new flowers to admire, and new content in a new place! You have inspired so many in the vanlife community and I’m sure you will continue to inspire in the future! Stay safe!

[@martinboyce7712]

Sending you best wishes for whatever your future plans are, have loved watching your journey since the beginning along with Mariah, Anna, Sarah and Tori. Glad to hear you will still be making videos. I still hope you are heading to Europe to see Elli.

[@andrewjohnclose429]

It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to be a part of your life’s journey. Thank you, Maddie. ♥️🙏🏻

[@MalangJan78614]

THANKS FOR RIGHT REPLY 😊 💕 YOU ❤

[@MARKCANEER]

You are Very Welcome, Good Luck to You in Your New Adventures.

[@TheBarePantryShow]

You're such a wonderful storyteller. You had me on the edge my seat listening to you talk about this big change far away from our beautiful state California. Moved here when I was 15 from Belize and I would never want to leave. As long as you take Eliza with you, you won't be too homesick. I got excited when I saw coconut whipped topping. I'll looking for that in my grocery store because I can't do dairy. Stay safe beautiful Maddie.

[@Maddie.taylor]

Find it at Trader Joe’s! 🫶🏼

[@TheBarePantryShow]

@@Maddie.taylorThank you Maddie. I'll go get some.

[@dorothypaul4642]

It's been a wonderful van life adventure and I thank you so much, Maddie, for sharing this amazing time in your life. I'm looking forward to the next chapter of your incredible journey. Thanks so much! Love to you and Eliza!

[@lawrencealam4552]

It feels like parting ways with a good friend. Thank you for sharing this phase of your life. Good luck on your new adventures!

[@jacksunstone8771]

Thank You Maddie for three years of splendid vanlife entertainment. Lookn forward to the next three years of whatever.

[@mrs.kellymakes]

My daughter and I have lived van life vicariously through you for the past two years. Thanks for taking us on this adventure with you! It’s been very entertaining. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

[@JaimeOrJayOetjens]

It's exciting to hear there is a sweetness in your upcoming chapter. The bravery that led you to and through the last three years in Van Life is the same bravery you are taking with you in your next chapter. We may not know what the future holds, but without a leap of faith, we may never realize there is something better waiting for us on the other side of the horizon. I pray 🙏 you find exactly what you are searching for, whether it be a peaceful and decorated home to your liking, a sanctuary on the other side of the world taking care of elephants 🐘 or whatever it is that brings you the most hapiness. Thank you, Maddie, for sharing your precious Van Life story with us. The suspense of not knowing what lies ahead is both Blissful and Suspenseful!

[@bigstarlet]

Former Cali resident (born and raised) here. It was wonderful seeing you traipse through the West coast and other places for the last year or so I have subscribed. Best of luck and looking forward to your new adventures.

[@garryturner440]

I'm glad you are at peace with your decision regarding van life. As one door closes another door opens. You go for it girl, looking forward to seeing what you get up to next, good luck 👍

[@PurplePineappleSmile]

I have been watching you since the beginning and now I can’t wait for this new beginning! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey with us

[@bagger3002]

I wish you nothing but the best on this next chapter of your life. I can't wait to see what you will be doing. I haven't been watching your channel very long maybe a couple months but I've really enjoyed what I've watched.

[@clago57]

Maddie, thanks for the good memories and inspiration. I hope you find what you are searching for and meet the love partner you deserve. You are beautiful, intelligent, and creative. Good luck. The world awaits you. May God bless you at every turn.

[@sages101]

[@nclare7]

I'm 68 years old! I've been following you from the beginning and I've learned so much from you about how to "van". I leave next week on my own van adventure. I live in Florida so I leave every spring and summer. I can't wait to see what's next for you!

[@MsBerries25]

OMG. I've been with you since almost the beginning, and I'm so shocked. I felt myself getting a little emotional. You were the FIRST van lifer I ever subscribed to and the first one that launched my interest in observing this lifestyle and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed sharing your van journey with you and I will seriously miss that gorgeous one-of-a-kind van. That's your BABY and I was so proud watching you build it practically all by yourself (your brother helped a little of course lol). Wow...I'm sad like something magical and wonderful is going away, but I'm excited to hear that you've closed one chapter and another exciting one is opening. I already miss Sarah, Tori, and oops your sweet friend from Germany I can't believe her name escapes me but she's adorable. Thank you...THANK YOU Maddie for bringing us along. I'm here for the next adventure. Hugs to sweet l'il Eliza, too. What a job well done 🌺🌺

[@andreaflynn1621]

You are the reason vanlifer ever became a word in my dictionary. I first landed on your videos 3 years ago and have been a huge, huge fan ever since. I follow others because of you. Your videos are my favorite, ever week, and I can't wait to see where the adventure leads next. Safe travels, Maddie!

[@davidsandri3043]

so glad you had so many of us along this amazing journey - and looking forward to your new adventures. Hopefully, they will bring you back to the Sonoma Coast along the way Peace, love and always, enjoy where there road leads...

[@Lonnwriting]

I watched and listened to your Bluetti info segment with the same interest as all your vids. Bluetti scored with you. I was crying as you said you'd be away from vanlife and it seemed you'd stay in constant Contact with us. Now back to your vid, which is in the background in my hand.

[@snoopyatshortstop]

Sitting here looking at my desert tortoise picture I bought from you. I loved getting to watch this part of your life. I think it helped me handle the big change of moving west and leaving what I knew. Change is to be celebrated, but I am very sad to lose something so comfortable and familiar. I will follow you into the future though, and I have no doubt you will find your next adventure, and conquer it.

[@davidlipski863]

Wishing you all the best with your new ventures, thank you for taking us along for your journey .I expect Sarah Torie and Ellie will catch up with you again for more adventures.🌹🌹🌹

[@cynthiamontgomery9420]

I just watched your video and I had to tell you were one of my main inspirations for Vanlife. I ate avocado toast in a parking lot while watching your video. I am going on 14 months of Vanlife. It is hard and awesome! I yearn for a tiny home but haven’t found my place yet.

[@Keyapennyfox]

Wishing you luck.🌟 If you want to bring us along, we are right here patiently waiting for you and Eliza 💚

[@bernadette2099]

Happy travels to you. It's not the destination, it's the journey.☮️

[@Kiddieacat1]

My first apartment was a 69 Chevy Van at 17 years old, 1981 and working at safeway an Mc Donald's, Staying at the Park. And Yes Van life. It will give you time to think about "WOW What do I really what to do with the rest of life I have interests in many other things" It's OK to go forward It beat's the Hell OUT out of Standing Still. Love you Maddie Godbless and Godspeed

[@davidtison905]

Thank you for bringing us along during the past three years, Maddie. I'm excited to see what your future holds. Be well! Cheers!!

[@magnus33john]

We evolve and and change so to do our interests. Its a grand adventure and the great thing we never know when the road may take us back around to previous interests and adventures.

[@Tassie85]

It is bittersweet, seeing you say good bye to your van life but so exciting, too! I am very happy for you and wish only the best for you and Eliza. Looking forward to what's next. Love from 🇨🇦

[@davidrivard5882]

I’m sad but happy for you. I will miss the adventures and especially your calm voice and wonderful adventures. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do. I’m not going anywhere. I will be here watching from Toronto Canada. All the best Maddie!😊

Sorry to see the end of van life for you at least for now but honestly just do what makes you happy. You have a beautiful soul and I'm sure that's what a lot of ppl love about you. You're an engaging and wonderful person that isn't afraid to admit you can feel low at times. That's a special thing as it's made me feel open to calling for help when I'm struggling. Thank you for being you 💛

[@marcialovejoy9926]

Maddie I am a pretty new subscriber. What ever your doing I will continue to watch your vlog. Maddie whatever you are doing I just want you to be happy. And if you have that special someone in your life that is even better. I am 70 and I just have become a minimalist. I don't need stuff I like peace , happiness.and love.

[@scable-eq7bp]

Thanks for the update, for every Van dweller that quits another one starts.

[@tracyhickok]

Ok...had a little bit of a freak out with the title! But! Knowing you'll still be doing videos made me so happy. I can't imagine not seeing you on Sunday mornings. You bring so much brightness and happiness. I just love watching you enjoy life with Eliza. I'm so looking forward to going on your journey with your new chapter. Girl, you will never be alone! We are all always here for you and care about you. I so hope whatever your next chapter is that you can bring Eliza. But I know you will always do what is best for her. Sending you both so much love and so excited to see what the future holds for you! xoxo

Take care and stay safe whatever you're plans are, hope to see you ASAP Maddie. You're a good story teller.

[@Jonsmama1]

I just found your channel. I will have to watch some of your previous videos to watch your van life. But, I look forward to seeing your new life you are embarking. Hopefully, you will bring us along for the ride. I am not that adventurous of a person due a lot to year of physical health issues, and now I don't like to drive on highways. However, I do enjoy watching all of the adventurous people out there.

[@georgecostea242]

My cousin and I are now 73. When we first graduated HS he drove alone cross country. I was too inhibited to ever do anything like that. When he came back I asked him about doing it and being by himself. He said there’s allot to be said for enjoying a trip with someone, but even more absorbing it by oneself. I carried those thoughts with me. When I got divorced at 50 I took that trip too by myself. He was right. Now you traveled it and at a much earlier time in life than me. I’m so happy for you. Now onto your next interesting chapter.

[@hazel.the_tree]

ngl i started crying while watching this, it feels so bittersweet to never see your van again. ily maddie and i'm so excited for what comes next!

[@hailahafley-kluver2052]

This is my first time seeing you and your channel. You have a pleasant smile and voice...it is soothing listening to you. I moved back to the East Coast from California about 3yrs ago, during the pandemic. And before everything out there got crazy. I'm glad to be back home. Travel safely and well. Good luck and good bye.

[@Rjhaack]

Life is an adventure and you are still young so enjoy it. I think we all sometimes take life for granted and don’t live life to the fullest but I think you started that with van life and whatever your next chapter is, make it an adventure. Good luck on the next chapter and look forward to your future videos.

[@windycity258]

I fell down the VanLife rabbit hole years ago. Of all the KZbinrs, VanLife or otherwise, yours were the videos I always looked forward to the most. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Happy trails my friend, wherever life takes you. Die with memories, not dreams - Unknown
