Q&A | Get To Know Us | VAN LIFE COUPLE

It's Q&A time! This instalment is all about us. Well, answering your questions about us. How we met, how we don't kill each other whilst living & traveling full time in a 60sqft space, what we eat etc.
We did our best to answer as many questions as we could but we had a time constraint as Lee had to fly home that day! If we didn't get to yours please feel free to leave it in the comments below and we'll do our best to get back to you!

Awe this just popped up in our suggested videos. Our hearts are truly broken over the loss of Lee. I know your heart is shattered Max, regardless. Sending prayers for Gods comfort and love.

[@infinitegods9699]

Lee's passing took the air out of my lungs. I can't imagine the pain Max and her family are feeling right now. Sending positive healing vibes your way.

[@Mikemonoa-hz2rz]

The train had her name on it lol 😅😂

[@richardleach1706]

Rest In Peace Lee

[@Mikemonoa-hz2rz]

She was one weak individual who took the easy way out lol

[@JB-kd5uv]

Thinking of Max and the heartbreak he must be feeling. So sorry for Lee’s family and all who loved her.

RIP Lee, thinking of you all. Hugs to Lees family, Max and all that loved her. May all the cyber bullies take note and time to stand up to bullies - this is not ok. we will miss you Lee

[@lorryking3379]

Oh gosh, when the question came up for “where do you see yourself in 1, 5 and 10 years.” ….. that broke my heart. Lee if only you could see the loss you have left behind. Rest easy and in peace Lee ❤️

[@jessicabarton9406]

I imagine many will rewatch or watch for the first time. Virtual hugs to all! Rest easy Lee. Max you are loved beyond measure and we are here for you! Xoxo

Since I heard your sad news. You have been in my thoughts. Thinking of all of Lee's family and loved ones.

[@BloomByCC]

Gah! 1, 5, and 10 years 😢 please if you’re in a dark place, reach out and ask for help. You are not alone! There is so much good ahead of you even if you can’t see it right now. Please hold on❤

[@OldNewMama]

😭 y’all Max’s post on Instagram like “it was always you” fkn BROKE me. I cried like a lil bish. RIP Lee 💔

[@peacefrog64]

I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling right now Max. Take care of yourself mate.

[@annesheridan3502]

I only learned of Lee through Eamon and Bec that i also came across recently. I don't know why but the vlog of Lee in December and her subsequent death has really affected me. I was very moved and upset by this girls sharing of her pain. She is at peace now and my thoughts are with all of those she left behind. Tough for them. RIP Lee. 🙏

[@maryann902]

So sorry for your loss Max and all who knew her! I'm praying for Gods comfort for you all!

Spoiler alert: They break up less than a year and a half later.

[@melvawages7143]

@@RedRider1600 but they did have great chemistry on film didn't they? I miss them as a couple. Max and Occy are almost as good but he rarely does a video.

[@RedRider1600]

@@melvawages7143 Not particularly great, no. They seemed more like friends, or brother and sister. Also, I'm sure they didn't film all the fighting and disagreement parts. Can't judge their relationship based on only short edited video clips and what they chose to show the world.

[@marianneblack2688]

Ive been watching youtube creators since basically the beginning. Hands down, you two are the greatest. Ive only been watching for a few weeks but you are both so genuine and so happy. I love watching your journey.

You guys are awesome! You’re so genuine to take this much time just to answer questions! Keep doing you!

Its the least we could do Caleb! This community brings us so much joy that it's only fair we do our best to give back to it as much as we can!

[@deepeshpr]

Max the first Australian that I’m seeing very calm and never aggressive

[@ednilregznam]

You are such an inspiring couple! Love you guys, love your vlogs, love the way you share your stories! In fact, I enjoyed watching this QA so much, that I had to tell you ...this is my first comment EVER on youtube ;D Greetings from Austria!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Gerlinde so stoked to be your first!!! And thank you so much for your kind words. We love this community, thank you so much for being a part of it!

[@tlschmidt25]

I started with Nate and Steph's van tour (Adventure in a backpack), which led to Eamon and Bec, which led Minimal Millenials, which led to you two in Mexico. I never watched KZbin and now I'm following all you young adventures. Love getting to know all of you and appreciate the time and energy you put into sharing everything with us. It's helped my husband and I with our decision to go tiny on wheels. Next year!

[@kennethgoldsmith3851]

Wow this video came out after watching the last video of Lee talking about her depression. It’s really sad.

[@jessicaoreilly9260]

Love the Q&A. It is like Lee has not left. I love it. 😍 . Lee respect ✊ for your belief. You are a strong woman.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

That was the plan Jessica! We worked super hard to film extra vids before Lee left so you guys didn't miss her too much 😊 She'll be back before you know it 😉

[@AC-fp7ns]

The genuineness is strong in this one. Definitely a nice change of pace in the vanlife community. cheers guys

[@ireneburke1732]

So glad to see your channel blowing up in subs....you two deserve it. I hope youtube will make their decision soon on monetizing your videos. Need some scenery shots Max and Occy. Thanks

[@aryastark8643]

Irene Burke why on earth are they not monetized like waaaay already??

[@ireneburke1732]

They only started their youtube channel a little over 3 months ago. Their growth is awsome. They are awesome. Ive been watching since they started. It just takes youtube time to process the application.

[@aryastark8643]

Irene Burke Okey, I thought, given the high number of subs their channel was older. 3month crazy progress! I've a monetized channel myself (not this one), took youtube about 3 weeks, that was a year ago tho. Ty for the answer!

[@tule1726]

Irene Burke jhhh

[@AndrosIslandZ]

Yes, like everyone here, for some reason the universe has brought this video to the top of my suggestions. I never really followed you as a couple. I saw Lee when she'd visit with other KZbin VanLifers I won't name because I don't want to flood their feed right now. I've noted they are silent, and I can feel from here the absolute heartbreak they must be experiencing. I don't think anyone in the community will ever feel Pre-Lee again. I will leave white light, good thoughts, and the wish that her memory brings joy one day instead of the immense sorrow it does at the moment. Blessings to all. I am Teouwya, St. Regis Mohawk, an elder. Please practice self-care no matter how hard it may seem.

[@keripulido4915]

So excited to have met you this evening Lee! You are such a sweetheart!! Max, she is working hard and will be back before you know it!

[@trloveslife8132]

I’ve been home sick and binge watching your channel and I have totally fallen in love with you 3. Keep traveling keep loving life and please keep making vlogs. I’ll keep 👍

[@madeinaotearoanz]

Lee you're such a boss! RESPECT!!! Awesome Q & A guys. 😍😎

[@loisandrews4197]

I’m so glad you said it’s ok not to be perfect with respect to eating a vegan/plant-based diet. I’m currently on a years round the world trip and left the UK as a vegan and have tried my hardest to eat vegan all the time but in some places (Russia, China, Philippines) I have found it so difficult and am happy when I can find a good vegetarian meal. I think sometimes the vegan community makes people feel like you have to be perfect so it’s really refreshing to hear you say that you’ve not been perfect but you’re still making an impact. Thank you 😊🥑

[@triplecap123]

You guys are a breath of fresh air :) Much love from Vancouver Island, Canada

[@AashchryaRathee]

remembering lee the finest of people...

[@royrentuza5553]

My answer to question 8:28 is when you have a friend as beautiful, inside out, as Lee is, it is so easy to stay positive. I just look at her and I already know that today is going to be the best day ever.

[@kjones8784]

Almost 100,000 subscribers😍 so so happy for you guys!!! U tube monetize their channel so Lee can get back to her loves!!

As a fellow vegemite loving Aussie, I'd love to throw some your way Max! Is there any way to send you some? Since Lee is heading home perhaps that's a way to get sent some? Happy to whip up some kind of carepack so you can get your aussie fix! My partner and I are currently saving and planning our travels, with hopes to invest in a van conversion to take us around Australia, and your videos have been great inspiration for when the goal seems a bit far away!

thanks for answering my question mate.i was kidding around about making an honest woman out of Lee.you guys are a great match.your right about the white picket fence its not attainable nor affordable for most young people and the so called tradition of it isn't that popular anymore.i think travel and minimalism is definitely the way to go.i don't think you should have to work your guts out for 45 odd years like i did to own a house.you cant take it with you,lol.anyway safe and happy travels to you.Cheers from Australia.

Amen Sister!! Your explanation about a "normal life not constrained by living in one place your entire life and working at one career...living our lives is not by any sort of rule book...we don't need to own so many things to be happy" Couldn't agree more, hence the reason why my husband and I are filling the coffers and minimising our "stuff" to buy a catamaran where travelling the world will be our "normal life". Love your positive vibe. Keep living the dream guys X
