There's a few comments on here asking for more information about your lives. A blog like yours inevitably reveals personal stuff, plus you folks have been very honest about things on occasion, but we don't have a right to know things you want private. Hope you and yours are well.

[@kissesu9131]

U remind me so much of Claire Michelle so weird haha.

[@lifesadventures4805]

please be very careful sleeping in your car like this, particularly if your legs are cramped up in one position overnight like this. Living in my van last year (and i could stretch out while sleeping) i gave myself DVT's in my legs which went up to my lungs and nearly killed me all due to living in a small space and reducing how much i moved. Ive researched the issue since and one of the biggest risks for DVT's is sleeping in cars or cramped conditions in a vehicle. If you ever get a stabbing pain in your calf please seek medical assistance immediately!

[@sprout0784]

Sorry but for how long you didn't move and what did you ate? I am just curious because I never heard of something like this.

[@whydontyouaskme]

How old are you? And how active are you? I go to the gym at least 60min everyday active the entire 60min.

[@p0cket4rt]

im hoping that with daily excersize that this can be avoided cuz this seems scary to experience ​@whydontyouaskme

[@Steve-zn2zn]

​@@sprout0784 deep vein thrombosis is more common than you would think..blood clots that form in the legs can move to the lungs and the result may be a pulmonary embolism..a blockage caused by the clot that can be fatal if not treated immediately. As the previous poster mentioned..being in a confined space with limited movement is risky. Being on a long haul flight is also a risk but can be minimised by taking a short walk up and down the aeroplane or minimum doing leg and body exercizes. Years ago the taking of the contraceptive pill added to the risk ..though not sure if the same is true today. Do however take proper medical advice before any of these situations. Any pain, especially if severe in the legs or chest , seek help.

Car camping is great, I do it loads. It's surprisingly comfortable when you get used to it and so convenient.

Soooooo good to see you back🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 loving “Pat” and looking forward to many more adventures on the road 🎉🎉🎉🎉thank you for the friendship you both have built with us all through your vlogs taking us through the ups and downs of life and allowing us to be a part of it heres to many more!

[@DaveyPalmer1]

Good to see you back Iz and looking well and hope Tom is doing ok too. That was a really cool vid. There's something about lying in a car or tent and listening to the heavy rain that is very therapeutic. Dig little Pat too 😊

[@thebudgetbackpackers]

I love that you're adventurous enough to go out and go about it, trying something new and takin' us along. Great video Izzy! 🚙👍😀

[@paulsee2]

Loved this So refreshing to see someone out for the love of being out and not having all the branded gear My kind of camping , go you 😊

[@petermc754]

Hi, Great to see you back, Pat looks awesome. Hope that Tom is well. I think you both made the correct decision about Ireland. West Cork is beautiful but a winter in a cabin could be something of a challenge. Look forward to your future adventures.

[@joebrown5917]

Hi Izzy. 100% positive we have just bumped into Tom at Loch Watten. Today at 5pm We are in a white camper van that stopped next to him in the layby . Noticed the tattoos as he was leaving, he clocked onto our van cctv and graphics of a compass at the rear. The tattoos one on left arm and the star on his right wrist. Did not speak to him as he was busy txting and just enjoying nature. Sometimes better to leave in peace than to bother him to ask to shake his hand. Please say hi and if it was him tell him to have a safe journey in Caithness. Joe and Michelle

[@TheVanderfulLife]

I spent 2 weeks round Scotland in my Yaris - made a bed frame, memory foam mattress, a storage unit - it was genuinely comfy and made me realise how doable it is.

[@tusa1987]

Have you any pics or videos? I'm thinking of doing this with my Yaris, would love some tips.

[@lindah4135]

My husband and I have been missing you and Tom on Sundays ❤️ looks like big changes…life happens. Hope to see you both soon 💕 By the way…It’s amazing what you’re done with Pat! The Chickmobile! 😁💖

[@shooster5884]

I bring a large popup shower tent when car camping - I'm in Ireland- wind and rain - and with the pop up tent up strapped to the car... It's just big enough to fit my chair and my little desk to cook on and sit in.. as well as wash, dress and toilet in! It's a really affordable option for anyone who can't spend any money on camping gear. I prefer it to a tent because it's a stand up space.

[@MsAngelwithin]

love the lil car - not sure if at my old age my bones would cope with that for sleeping mind! ... hope you and Tom are doing well, really hope this is just a setback and we'll be back watching you travel to places we never knew existed again - miss you both, good luck in whatever you decide to do xxxx

Super cool, and your right about the independence a car makes to your life. Delighted for you Izzy.👍😊🇮🇪🇬🇧

[@JeanReinhardtWriter]

Love your wee car, she's cute. I've slept in our car whenever my airbed has gone down during the night and it's pretty comfy. At least for a night or two. Last camping trip I woke up middle of the night and the rain was pelting down on our tent making me want to pee. Even though there were toilets on the campsite I couldn't face getting soaked so I looked around for something suitable with a lid. You'd be surprised how waterproof a tube of Pringles is. I had to eat the remaining crisps first , so that was a bonus, lol.

[@LukefromMansfield]

I love camping in my car. Even though I have a caravan for campsite use, I think I prefer the simplicity of car camping. 😊 I have made foil window covers, but I have put matt black sticky film on the outside of them to make them less obvious.

[@dougmacgregor5053]

Woman, you will thrive on your own because of who you are; a little crazy and fun will always triumph over "this is how your supposed to be" or " why can't you see..." but the best part is that your beginning to know what you need in your life now to thrive on your own.

I went up to Scotland back in march and slept in my BMW 1 series :) perfectly easy to make a bed if you put the front passenger seat down, lots of bedding & then randomly slept in streets around Scotland at night.

6 July 2023: Love your attitude to life and sharing your time with us. You are inspiring both young and seasoned (try to avoid the typical word of old!). Your video is incredible especially when you went under the water with the shades on! Be very safe sleeping out alone or even with Tom. You are such a young person with so much experience and views of life overall. You look so much like my granddaughter and as zany too. She loves to just sing out and dance. Stay well and safe.

[@sadiemulhern5315]

Great to see you back and enjoying yourself. I would blacken out car registration on vlog for safety reasons. You could rent out the Bambai for 3-6 months and that would have helped to pay for the rent in the place in Cork and use Pat to get around. Hope to see you and Tom on your adventures again . Take care.

[@ateamhannibal5391]

Haha, nice, I had a similar job (was called "housemen" in my Hotel in NZ). Stocking up linen all over the Hotel. I also liked the job, always felt quite "independent" being able to walk around throughout the whole building, providing the housekeepers with fresh linen and having a radio with me in case someone needs something special. Getting nostalgic about this time of my life now :)

[@wendyjones3953]

Last time we saw Tom was when there was a mixup with the paperwork at the border. Tom was driving 30 hours to get back to Cornwall. These two cuties may have had disagreements about settling in Ireland or what they wanted to do next, or maybe like the rest of us, just getting ratty with someone we’ve been cramped up with in a van for too long. With luck, a break from travelling, being back amongst their friends and family etc may make them both realize what they really want to do with their future. When you’re presented with soooo many choices, they can’t possibly be expected to agree on everything. With luck, quietening down with the pressure off may help these two make the best choice for them individually. Selfishly, like most of their followers/KZbinrs, I hope they stay together and whether they travel or stay in Cornwall, I’m sure they can keep us entertained with their antics at home or away. Just decide what’s right for you and be happy. xx

[@jennymathewson]

Great to see you again and looking amazing. You really are like a breath of fresh air. Loving your new friend Pat. Sorry the Ireland house didn't work out but who knows maybe sometime in the future. X

[@MrBeller00]

So glad to see you back. What an amazing little advantage brilliant !

[@cargumdeu]

Always good to get my monthly dose of hyper-cheerfulness, Izzy. We all hope Tom takes you back. Just joking...seriously, it's got to be hard stuck in a confined space with someone for years on end, no matter how much you love each other. Some of the enduring relationships I see around me are those of couples who share 90% of the same interests but allow each other the space to be alone or with different interests for the remaining 10%. Some take a couple of weeks or even months away from each other every year, and rather than making the bonds weaker it fire-proofs them. Obviously there could be cases where a chap had a secret life in drag, but I'm not suggesting that of Tom. Not for a moment. I understand why you pulled back from the Ireland deal. The moment you start renovating and building and planting, life on the road would be effectively over for you: maybe after 5 years you could manage a weekend away. It's a wonderful idea but maybe in 5 or 10 years it'll make more sense. I hope you get to Sri Lanka or even India itself next, because your stuff from Nepal was sensational and I feel - having been to India over 20 times - that there's a rich vein to explore for you, pretty cheaply still. With your good attitude and travel smarts you could spend 6 months in India very profitably. Sure it's easier to go to Thailand but India I think would be kinder to you. I always felt a feminine deity looked after those with good hearts in India, wherever they were from. The big clue I'll give you is that everyone else always goes to the same places...the Taj Mahal in Agra, floating palace in Udaipur, Hampi, Goa, etc. Endless numbers of vloggers beat the same tired paths. Few visit the tattooed hill tribes of Nagaland, or the rainiest place in the world, Meghalaya (39 feet per year), or the Temple of Rats in Bikaner. There used to be a Hospital for Insects in Ahmedabad but I havent seen reference to it for decades. I'll shut up now.

That was a lovely beach 😊 The fairy-lights were a nice touch 👌 Swimming underwater with shades on is goddess-level cool 😎... and the sand-flies in the coffee for extra flavour! (call yourself a vegetarian?! 😂)

I always thought an estate would be great for car camping. Something with a long boot and seats that folds down completely flat. It could be as spacious as a proper bed and more storage space as well.

If you are putting down a front seat to sleep.. put down the passenger seat so that in case of emergency you need to hop in the front and drive away, the driver seat and area is free.

[@bigwill4423]

Brilliant! What a cool idea and Pat is just the coolest "adventure" car ever! I personally think that chucking a good size tent, sleeping bags etc in the back of the car would be a better option space and comfort wise although personal security would be an issue solo camping but if you have Tom with you then no probs.....though he might die of shame being seen in such a pink girly car! Lol Anyway, keep having fun in pat and look forward to seeing more of your adventures in her! 😎😎😎👍

[@raymondsweeney8073]

What a enjoyable episode Izzy , I love your solo adventures, Pat was a great buy, definitely a bargain, never seen anyone swim with sunglasses on, amazing, just thought of something, what if yourself and Keely done a 2 day duo adventure and Tom & Philly done same, would be a laugh, maybe Tom would choke Philly if he could not find the off button 🤣 👍

[@stuffilike4498]

Pat shows the patina you get by the seaside, needs a bit of a rub down and fresh clear coat. Iz, the queen of kitch 😂 can't beat a bit of car camping at this time of year, it's scorchio all through the night. Perfect for a bivvy bag adventure on the moor next time.

[@lawrencesmith8104]

[@jeffreyharrison]

Love it when you were camping out in your Clio next time you do it take the Hairdres out put the seats right forward them to the seats right back have fun. 😊

[@maciejkusak9220]

Your Clio may have the same solution as my Honda. If the rear seat can be lifted up (seat against the backrest), the driver and passenger seats should be able to fold almost flat. In sequence. Raise the rear seat. Move the front seats as far forward as possible. Tilt the driver and passenger seat backrests as far back as possible. Slide the seats back, tucking the headrest section under the raised rear seat. You may need to pull out the headrests and push the seats further back so you can lie flat and stretch out your legs

My first car was a Renault Clio with a sunroof and I absolutely loved it, was such a well behaved car, did many miles in it, was sad to sell her. Sorry to hear about the Ireland move not going ahead, wise decision though. One thing you could look into is a tent box I’m sure you know what it is, goes on the roof, you just need some rails on top. Looking forward to more videos as always a big hello from Launceston 😁

Hi Lost in Transit! So great to have the notification again of a new video.😊 I have a basic van now, trafic, with a bed and boxes but last summer i travelled around the Scottish islands in my i10 and loved it! I had a pop up tent but due to the rain i mostly slept in the car. (Great to have a s a changing rokm though and storage.) 😂 i love a little car, so Pat is perfect. Do you find it different and difficult videoing alone? I forget to video! Great footage, editing and end result. ⭐️🦄🌈🗝🥰

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Nice! Well if you can do it in that little lady it encourages me to give it a go in my Skoda Superb Elegance /estate. I saved the wooden slatted cushion support from our old settee and I think it might just fit for level-ish bed. 🙂
