Van life: Rainy, Chore day (Camping at a lighthouse and making a new friend)

MATEO!!! My wife and I did it!!!! We got an RV and are about to hit the road. We have a 25’ Class A. Hopefully we will cross paths. We both have Mateo mugs to prepare ❤❤❤

Good luck and have fun. I hope you get to meet Mateo and Lars

Way

Lmao exactly, Mateo is one of the highlights of my week

[@CMH4U]

I agree ! It's funny how easy we adapt to whatever comes our way !

I just had a convo with a Lyft driver about how "living in a van down by the river" used to be a negative. 😂

[@winterisblu]

Haha thank you! You get what I mean though we’re super hard on ourselves! 😅

​@winterisblu yea that's why you gave yourself an 8, so that just means she was right 10/10.😊

I have gained so many new things to make while watching you..thank you so much. ​@winterisblu

[@WendieRenee]

Mateo you CANNOT purchase a custom skateboard and then ignore a unique blessing from God of a whole skatepark next to your camp spot! I was like, "Boy, if you don't get outta that van!" 🤣 I'm so happy your neighbor was there to give you the nudge you needed. Now that was a divine arrangement. I thoroughly enjoyed that scene. And those sea lions! The campsite next to a real lighthouse 😍Those were both van life firsts for me! Honestly, your chore days are kinda epic, lol! 😳Another beautiful reminder for me that the best moments in life are often free and unexpected.

Am I the only one who checks every Thursday/Sunday for videos?? Mateo has literally been my escape from depression & anxiety. Being stuck Inside due to health reasons, has been tough. But since getting out of the hospital this channel has helped so much. I do wish you were more consistent bro… Is that selfish? lol anyways thanks for existing dude. 🫶🏽

[@buttafly591]

Maeto I don’t know why you feel you have to find things to do to keep us entertained. On your journey just being you taking us alone is entertaining enough. We get to go alone while sitting at home. Idk about others but for us introverts. It’s great! 👍🏾

[@KSam-j1h]

Well said visually traveling with Mateo

[@zypast2010]

love lars . can we get a lars cam to see what he does when you are out the van haha

Man i just genuinely enjoy this channel and being a part of your support online and offline. Im always telling people about Winterisblu! Just a wholesome channel. Never any negative remarks really in the comments and you are just a really decent person on camera. Im sure that also translates to off camera. Thank you for always sharing. Big shout out to Lars as well.

[@LabradoodleTofuBoy]

They say you can spread LOVE & LAUGHTER through music. You, Mateo, spread LOVE & new FRIENDSHIP through cooking & your generosity. Your kindness is beautiful! Put this on your bucket list. Be on CHOPPED and see how far you can explore in cuisine cooking.

[@rassyno1]

❤

[@davidhoward2901]

Hey man something Ive notice while watching you is that when you get to a spot and you find some small inconvenient thing or something that will detour you for exploring more or leaving the van, all I wanted to say was don't be afraid to explore more and push yourself in that area. You will always enjoy the outcome. Obviously be safe as well

[@GeneralBoneyspurs]

Hope Eden and Skater Homie are out there living the best road life. I really miss living out of my vehicle. There’s no better way to meet such a kind and unique and genuine groups of people.

Remember you cooked for the dude on the motorcycle? Awesome content as usual!

[@Expensivetaste8]

You should wash your veggies before hand to make sure it’s clean bc a lot of ppl touch them and put it back when sorting through them

[@melisa8256]

Yeah but he also uses that old round of wood to cut raw meat, veggies and whatever else and I never seen him wash it except a quick swipe with his hand. Van life makes people be creative and in my opinion only sometimes gross. All that to say, I think washing vegetables is the least of his worries.

[@chrislevasseur8950]

@@melisa8256Nothing seems very sanitary. He cleans his dirty counter with one or two wet wipes and starts cooking. Never see any hand washing! I surely wouldn’t eat his food. I also like eating healthy and not eating fattening food.

[@ChevieBaby]

You are one of the most humble compassionate human beings and you don’t try to be anyone or anything other than Mateo just being you! Someone said it below perfectly! Be proud of yourself you are one in a million I pray everyday more people are like you. ❤

It's super cute that you were so nervous about your cooking. I know it was amazing because she priced it well above the average open faced breakfast sandwich. I think we were all screaming at our phones watching you contemplate skating. Lol. I love how God laid it out for you with everything you need being in one place. You're a great guy Mateo, and the sole reason I love watching the van life. You deserve a great partner too. Don't think twice until it finds you. 🧡
