Van Life Canada | Driving Ontario to Quebec

our MERCH www.vanwives.com WE DROVE 1000 MILES FOR THIS | Van Life Canada (free camping)
More van life Canada!! We drove 1000 miles to the ocean! It’s the end of van life Ontario (for now) as this week were crossing provincial borders. After living in a van & traveling through multiple countries over the last year and a half- we are more than enthusiastic about driving 20 hours (1000 miles) to try van life in Quebec. The ocean was calling our name, naturally we headed east for a van life Canada road trip. Driving from Ontario to Quebec took us about a week and before we knew it we were riding the coast to our destination - the ocean 😍 In this van life vlog come along for the journey and enjoy the destination because we’re showing you free camping & what to expect from van life Quebec!

Our Journey! How did we get here?
In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods on the East Coast of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

I like that you find enjoyment in spite of the uncooperative weather. As a new subscriber, I can not decide if I enjoy watching the humans or the dogs more. It is a tie! The dogs seems like perfect companions, do they ever fight with each other?

[@Vanwives]

Haha thank you Lucy! Everyone is really here for Bella and Izzy! We know and we’re on with it 😂💛 haha no they don’t. They’re the best of friends!

[@growingwildheather]

@@Vanwives I don't know if you can enter the US but you should think about driving to cape code, MA this fall. The summer crowds are leaving, the weather is still beautiful, there's great swimming in the ocean and want freshwater ponds and many great places to park the van.

[@rruchal]

Love following you're adventures!

[@Vanwives]

Thanks for following along 🌞

[@VRDolores]

Love watching your vidéos. Bienvenu dans la belle province. You must go see Tadoussac, Le vieux Québec and Mont-Tremblant. Enjoy 😘

[@shelleyirwin9949]

Great video girls, I smiled throughout watching how you make the best out of everything including crappy weather. You both seem so happy to be travelling again.

Quebec is so awesome the ocean was beautiful even if you didn’t have the waves I wish we could have seen a few whales 🐋. And what better way to end then with awesome pizza take care this coming week and stay safe 🙏

[@Vanwives]

Thank you Matthew! Oh us to. We didn’t stop looking. Maybe we will see some in the next few days 🤞 see you next Sunday!

[@miniskooliewanda]

You two are so cute. I think this is one of my fave vids of yours. I am a west-coast-lover but watching this has made me want to check out the east-coast once I'm a vanlifer. LOVED watching the puppers running so joyously on the beach. Thanks so much for sharing! xo

[@Vanwives]

Thank you for watching and for your kind comment 💛 Glad we could inspire you to come East!

[@debmadden4157]

[@Vanwives]

Thank you both for watching 💛Have a great week Alice!!

[@youllthinkofme2011]

Wow! That is a long drive! I made it to Sept Iles myself years ago. La cote Nord is beautiful and unique. Interesting that you noted the trees are kind of gray. My dad called them "epinettes grises" which I believe translate to Grey Spruce. I was born and raised in Quebec City but I am now in the US (NYC). Hope you guys stop on your way back and enjoy the many other points of interest, if the weather cooperates!

[@Vanwives]

It really is quite the drive! Love that you’ve been here it’s a spectacular place. Yay! Jazmyn is going to be so happy to know about the epinettes grises!! Will do Chris! See you next Sunday!

[@isabelmargarida6052]

The tree are grey because of the spruce budworm ( Tordeuse de bougeons de l'épinette). Clark City very good spot too for the surf just before Sept-Îles.
