[@MaxLeeandOccy]

We are beyond excited to share this with you all! It has been in the planning for months and was incredibly hard to keep secret. But oh so worth it!! My family have all said that it will go down as one of the best moments of their lives and the same is certainly true for us. We have 6 weeks in sunny Australia and can't wait to share this amazing country with you. Afterwards, we fly back to pick up King Occy and then back to the van in Colombia. We are so so excited to continue our journey through South America! Bring on 2019!!!!

[@zenseed75]

Great start to year! 🥂

[@zenseed75]

I can't tell you how happy I am for you both!! I have literally been wishing and praying that you would get to go home soon. I'm almost as excited as your family. It made me cry too.

[@kbob2877]

Yes that really sad sse the dog run to the car

[@mecfstraveler]

I'm a first time viewer and the dog KILLED me at the onset! See, at 58 years old people know me as a "cat person". There's a reason why I have only had cats in my entire adult life. It's because my dog is irreplaceable. I grew up with him and he was my best friend and protected my family during the most frightening and dangerous times in my life durjng my early teens. He was my constant companion and he loved and protected all the family pets as well. when I was 17 a step-dad gave him away. I have never gotten past how he must have felt. I still miss him and will never own another dog. I just want to see Ringo again. Guessing that will be when I die. I fully believe that he will be there to greet me when I do. 💖😊

When I saw Lee holding that baby I just felt so sad for all the experiences she will no longer have. The utter despair it took to put herself in front of a train. I hope beyond hope that there is a better place after death so that people like her can find solace and that some day those who loved her can find her there ❤️. Missing a person I never knew 😢

CaliKimi, I saw Lee ( she seemed so happy and enjoying her adventures) on Eamon & Bec video's. After reading your comment CaliKimi, I don't know what Lee believed but, there is life after death... I'm a Christian and I share this TRUTH - Jesus says; John 11:25..,"I am resurrection and the life. He who BELIEVES in Me will live, even though he dies;26and whoever lives and BELIEVES in me will never die. Do you BELIEVE this?"

@@dm2216 I blame the world

[@lindarussell4735]

#1- There is always someone worse off than me. #2- "There is no pit so deep where the Lord isn't deeper still." These are two thing that I have told myself when I have suffered severe depression. I don't go to Church or read the Bible. I do have a Bible...just saying... The first time that I found myself suicidal was following 18 months of post natal depression that I didn't even know I had until I reached rock bottom and took myself off to hospital. Depression is an insidious disease that has to be treated with respect and treated accordingly. My #3 is the best because it is- "The sun will shine again and I will feel that cool breeze blowing on my face again". #2 is a quote from a beautiful lady who died not so long ago. If you or anyone you know is in such despair, suffering from depression and or anxiety or in any way... REACH OUT. PLEASE REACH OUT. Our time on earth is precious.

Oh my goodness! I’m at the gym on the bike watching this and literally crying! I’m Canadian (from Kitchener) and have a similar romance style (met my husband while we were traveling the world both working on a cruise line). We eventually got off ships, moved to Texas for him to go to one of the best jazz schools in the states (neither of us have family there - he’s from Puerto Rico) and life has taken us on many adventures and way too many planes, trains and buses to count! It’s 20 years later and we just moved to Manhattan after our last move from Germany where we lived for 4 years. I haven’t even watched the whole video yet but in 20 years we’ve lived in 9 places (10 including NYC) and I had to stop at the point of you guys getting on the plane in Toronto - sooooooo happy for you guys that that worked out! The kindness of strangers is always such a blessing and just seeing Lee in tears - man I’ve been there so many times at various airports for various reasons. So happy once again for you! I started watching your channel while in Germany (KZbin videos in English were my best friend lol) and was excited to see another Lee from Ontario (I’m a Leigh too!). Continued blessings on your journeys. Life is short and I’ve found my very best moments have been traveling to new and familiar places seeking adventures, friends and family. Cheers!

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Wow Leigh! For starters, the image of you crying on the bike at the gym 😥😂. But also loved hearing the story of your crazy travel/international relationship life!! Glad you have enjoyed our videos and best of luck with Manhattan!

He is a Texan from San Antonio. He was spending the summer visiting his brother in Istanbul. He came up and introduced himself to me and we started talking.....we talked for hours and got off the ferry together and spent the next few days traveling around Paros. Well.... that was 1993 and it’s now 2019 and we ha e been married for 25 years....have two beautiful daughters and have lived in Seattle, Wyoming, Maine, back to Seattle then to where we now live in Texas......amazing stories do still happen!

Everything in this video is awesome. Reunion, background music, cinematography, editing, story telling.

[@rimonagale1625]

This really was an edge of the seat video. An achievement just making the vid let alone you two going through the journey. So glad everything worked out & what a beautiful baby! 💝

Aw thank you so much Rimona! It was really fun to edit this one because I got to relive the emotions again and again ✨Thanks for watching!

How lovely! And what a wonderful trip it looked like. Thank you for sharing.

What a great surprise for your brother, how fun! My son just returned home to Canada today from Sydney (only a 12 hour return flight with head winds!). Coincidentally he played hockey in Newcastle this past year and love, love, loved the area (and now I know why, it looks gorgeous there!) but it is the people he truly enjoyed - wonderful people!

You are great youtubers guys!!! ☺️🤗 We bought a van on Christmas eve! Now it's all about converting and fixing some things! Thanks for all the inspiration ☺️🤗

[@MaxLeeandOccy]

Positive Karolina Aww thanks Karolina! And that’s awesome! Another Christmas miracle 😉 Best of luck with your conversion!!

[@positivekarolina1260]

@@MaxLeeandOccy thank You so much ❤️ although we ate not going to live in it completely, but use for our travelling. Might be a bit challenging with a baby who hates car seat, hopefully it will get better soon 🙈
