😂 right!

Things I bet you never thought you'd say: "no problem, we'll take the knife juggling hitchhikers!" 🤣🤣 On to Peru!😍

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Hmmm nope I can't say I saw that one coming 😂😂😂

[@anashomestead5919]

@@MaxLeeandOccy hahahaha lmao - That was one for the story books.. things to share with our grandchildren.. or not...

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

So.. after watching this do what do you reckon? Could you handle #vanlife in South America? It's rarely easy but not many things in life worth doing are. Also, those hitchhikers 😂 Thank you so much for sharing you Sunday with us, we hope you all have a wonderful week 🙏🏼❤️

[@RuiijiKun]

Max & Lee the hard times make the journey more worthy! This is a good episode 😊 new country new adventures. Stay safe!!

[@lorrainecalvert4635]

No, I could not. I know what a great feeling it is for you guys where you inspire people to hit the road, but for those of us who could not do what you are doing, know that you are providing us with a look at central and south america that we may not see otherwise. So really appreciate you!

[@chrisray1567]

I’m not sure if I could pull off the van life, certainly not as well as you two (and Occy of course). Btw, both of you are definitely getting better and more confident with your Spanish. It’s good fun to watch the progress.

[@angelachacon8899]

I love to say hello and know that the trip is going well, Occy as always is a rockstar, I felt bumpy half of the video hahaha A hug to the three and Hello Peru. PS: in the south of the continent, what we have left is heart :) :) :) muchos abrazos

[@Dresstailor]

Max & Lee good video . I m from India.

[@erindavies7082]

I just wanted to say a huge thank you, to you both (and Occy) for all of your time, effort and hard work while you are on this adventure. As a 40 something Kelowna, B.C hippie girl at heart, living in the rat race of Fort McMurray, Alberta- I look forward to your videos as I am so envious and I’m living vicariously through your journey. I look forward every Sunday to see what you’ve been up to and thank you again- your hard work is appreciated. ♥️ ~Erin

[@zenseed75]

Same life. Max and Lee have me questioning it daily.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Our absolute pleasure Erin. We so appreciate the wonderful support that this amazing community never fails to show us 🙏🏼❤️ PS We stayed at a friends in Kelowna early on on this trip. Loved it!

Maria J. Villacreses such a beautiful country Maria 🙏🏼❤️❤️

[@meehling]

Awww, how sweet of Occy to share his seat with the hitchhikers. He does seem to buffer things for you wherever you go. Love my Sunday updates from you all.

[@SonofaBlacksmith]

I think the officers study you guys psychologically to know you're not harmful. Just positive aura. And anyone can see that

[@Beltran003]

Being born in Ecuador and having moved to the United States at a very young age, I never got to see my own country growing up. Thank you guys so much for letting me experience the amazing land that is Ecuador 🇪🇨 through your eyes 🙏🏼❤️ Peru has always been on my list of place to explore. Can’t wait for the new adventure! Best wishes for a great travels ❤️

Sí, pero el acento los delata inmediatamente. Igual que conmigo.

[@janfenton7478]

Fabulous. Opening our minds and hearts to other countries cultures and life styles. That’s really experiencing life. And Occy...well he always steals the show and hearts. Love your spirit. About to do the same lifestyle. Starting in Costa Rica which has deeply touched my soul. Corporate life about to be a memory.

[@astridkelly5417]

Much love to you three! Was mesmerised watching the video that dinner was nearly burnt 😬! Enjoyed every minute of it. It’s so heartwarming to watch the people you come across. Your warmth and friendliness can break many barriers and let’s not start talking about Occy! Beautiful sweetheart 🧡🧡🧡🐶🧡🧡🧡

[@Kris4kiwi]

Ecuador has really surprised me! So much more beautiful then I expected. Everyone seemed so laid back and friendly

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Such an amazing country Kris!

[@LeoHernandeznyc]

Your dog gives me all warm love feels ♥️♥️♥️

[@PAKoffee10]

For some, border croassings are stress fests, full of tension, confusion, and chaos. You guys pick up FB friends, turn into a street performer bus, and give Occy more pets per hour than he knows what to do with. But you make it seem so relaxed. And I like it. Thank you.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

PAKoffee10 ha we do our best!

[@sxyskybluiz]

I honestly cannot wait for Sunday mornings my time so I can see your videos. Occy definitely seems to make your trips easier because of all the joy he brings the people. I look forward to next week's video and can't wait to see what you guys got into

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

You've got that right! If it weren't for Occy we may not have made it as far as we have 🐾💛Thank you SO much for including us in your Sunday morning routine xx

[@craig1231]

"That's him running around with a knife. They seem friendly enough though!"

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

And they were! 😂

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

I wont ever pick up a guy playing with knives, that guys is totally moron !

[@angelabay-jespersen6205]

😂😂😂 I think you can get a vibe from ppl usually. If they feel cool go with it is they feel icky don't. I don't know what would have happened if you'd said no to the guards who asked you to take them though, lol.

[@aimeeaj3873]

I look forward to your videos every Sunday. It’s so nice to be able to enjoy this journey with you and all of the content you guys work so hard on putting out for us to enjoy. It’s really appreciated and of course we love Occy. If you’re ever in North Carolina you guys are always welcome to stay, and there is a huge yard for Occy to run around in and play with my dogs, Sherlock and Watson. Safe travels guys, see you next week.

[@pamarnold2590]

Thank you for sharing your travel journey. Can't wait until next week and thanks Occy for making my day.

I am gonna miss Ecuador but can't wait to see Peru and occy as usual is the star of the video and such a calm fluffy ball 😍

[@missjennsmith6999]

I'm loving the all the stickers at the borders!

[@sbtesta]

My favorite aprt of this video is Lee trying to get a work out in an Occy needing the ball thrown every few seconds :)

[@melodybroome6203]

Lol that was so funny and cute. She integrated it well with her ab workout 🤣

[@timsinaasish9712]

living a life with full of adventure thats complete life ..enjoy watching you both ..cute dog❤

Loved the border guards they were so cool. The mountains and mist was so beautiful. Occy you are a star. Occy was trying his spanish on the chicken.

[@carloscastillo9852]

I really appreciate how you guys show how beautiful Ecuador could be, I hope you can return the next year and keep traveling around my country, the amazon region of Ecuador it’s also beauty you need to meet it, greetings from Quito.

[@nancymalloy9202]

Always look forward to Sunday for your video and travelling with you. Occy is your wonder dog, and a great ice breaker with people you meet. Stay safe and see you next week.

[@noonieone7026]

The work out looked good. Even Occy got into it. You guys look very HAPPY!

[@beverlyschiffler9649]

Wow. This weeks vlog was so interesting to me. Those roads are incredible. Your van is holding up so well. I do think Occy is a good talisman and helps both of you receive warmer welcomes at borders. The hitchhikers!!! 😂...You both are living a life I always dreamed of when I was younger but I am now enjoying your channel and being inspired to make my own version of intrepid travel. Thank you thank you for sharing this time in your lives.

[@TrainLordJC]

You guys bring back brilliant memories of when I was driving solo throughout North, Central and South America back in 1988/89/90. I loved South America! It is already thirty years ago when I did this amazing life changing journey and the experiences are for the rest of my life. Great to see you guys with beautiful Occy doing similar adventures and using the technology (that wasn't around back then) to show your experiences. Peru is awesome. Enjoy!

[@somadevo]

Another great episode...sure helps having a star perro like Occy....he's a heart melter..Highest Blessings in Peru

[@abbythompson8634]

Occy is so chill with everyone I love it. I doubt my lab would be so calm!

[@shagoesfar]

Oh I loved the hitch hiker entertainment & how Occy stood to say goodbye (& enjoy a kiss from a stranger) Love & light guys & keep safe

[@JohnnyC10071959]

I love the dog, he could not care less about the rough road. Such a great boy

[@rondomler7216]

Just found you guys. Had to go back and watch all your videos of Ecuador. My wife and I lived in Ecuador for 9 years from 1967-1976. 3 yrs. in Cuenca, 1 yr.in Manta 3 years in Guayaquil and 2 years in Galapagos. It is so interesting to watch your videos. We traveled all through the Andes on a Lambreta Motor scooter. There were no paved roads in those days. When we were in Galapagos they didn't have a road to Baltra on Santa Cruz yet. I attend the very first class to license guides. How it has changed. There were only 3000 people in all the islands and no electricity or running water. It was real Robinson Caruso style.

[@hemantmajhi2026]

So the Ecuador journey comes to an end it been a nice journey i totally enjoyed it,thanks to you guys and all the best for upcoming journey.👍😀

[@alisamehmal7234]

Well that was a pleasant boarder crossing. I have a good feeling about Peru. ♥️🇨🇦

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Alisa Mehmal good way to describe it!

[@dilaraguney]

[@klw8771]

Cheers to Ecuador and you guys making it to & through the border! Awesome video yet again & I had a good chuckle on your high speed work out video with Lee tossing the ball to Occy while doing her crunches LOL..good stuff you tow!!

[@sunshinegirl9333]

Absolutely perfect as always! You’re living my dream. Be safe guys. Much love to you both and extra love to Occy

[@kathifoynm]

Greetings Lee, Max and Occy. I think your chill, competent and organized attitude translates well for border crossings. And Occy is your ticket to ride. This video had a good balance of detail and atmosphere, bringing us into your world. I loved the look on your faces as the street troupe entertained you and “earned” their trip. Also, watching Occy during the workout session was cute. I see another “deep clean” in Lee’s near future!! Plus, Max is such a good fur-daddy that in the midst of everything, he noticed Occy chasing a chicken. 🐓

[@paula.jackson5463]

You are all so precious, what a Blessing and it too funny about the hitch hikers, then again you are not in downtown LA.....such a different world than what we see every day in Stratford.

[@justbeingry1302]

Funniest part is when Max and Lee are just sitting after the work out and talked about the showers. Lees face said it all.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

We promised to be honest 😂

[@cleric4265]

Honestly ONLY is what we need

[@debbiepovlock9819]

I admire you two being able to live your dream. Safe travels, I'm looking forward to your new adventure! 🙏💜🌻🦊🤗💙

[@AnneEWilliamson]

Occy looks so happy just bumping along! I'm surprised how nothing seems to phase him. He's such a chill dog.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

The chillest. As long as there are no squirrels, drones or cats in the vicinity he is a smiling Buddha 😂

[@AnneEWilliamson]

@@MaxLeeandOccy Ah, the squirrels get every dog!

[@andrewuk2683]

Hitchhikers with knives?? Yeh, sure hop on right in! Lol. Occy...that dog is defo your get out of jail card and can diffuse any potential situation.

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Why not? 😂 And very true!

[@daveonan5796]

Another awesome vlog, thanks for making Sundays much better. I loved seeing Occy being such a cool floof good boi, but he is getting extra floofier and might need some good boi scaping for the hot temps. Keep on truckin' and showing me the world.

Loved this video! I have enjoyed seeing that there is still good friendly people in the world. Occy stealing every ones hearts as usual...nothing new there! 😊 I know he has mine. I still haven't found another dog after my Mozart passed in February. I didn't think it would be so hard to find another, but it is. I know Im not replacing him, but it is still very hard to find the right one. I didn't realize that I was 3 weeks behind on your videos. Im all caught up now & looking forward to Peru. Stay safe my friends! Much love! 💗🌻
