We are Jamie & Lisa, from Ontario, Canada and yes we are #vanlifeover60; we have changed our gears; or some will say, "So you have retired!" LOL. We have been full-time in our van, Gertie, since October 2020 and we are having so much fun. We are vanliving in our upfitted 2017 Sprinter Campervan.
We want to share our journey with you and what it is like to be living and travelling full-time in our van Gertie. We promise to keep it honest and real and of course share much fun and laughter with you. Please SUBSCRIBE to our channel and join us as we embrace this journey.
You can also follow us on the INSTAGRAM link @a.van.degroot
Thank-you and much love,
Jamie & Lisa

What an amazing time we had at the Beach Road Weekend this past August.
From Leon Bridges to John Hiatt to The Head and the Heart to Patti Smith and her Band to Bon Iver to the most awesome Mumford & Sons to Gary Clark to Gregory Porter and the quirky Regina Spektor. Music soothes our souls. 🥰
And meeting Connie & Todd standing next to us for Leon Bridges performance; only to find out they are also parents to twin boys.
And @SteveAudra I chased him down to get a photo with him just for you. lol Ithaca is Gorges!!
And yes.....we did walk past the nudie beach along the beautiful cliffs on Moshup Beach. lol
See our latest YouTube video below of our brekkie chat while on Martha's Vineyard for the festival:

Today is #tbt 🤗 These few photos are from our time last Fall in the East Coast.
Making our way back to Nova Scotia to spend time with family and friends. There’s been a heartwarming change in some family dynamics for Jamie and we can’t wait to share with you one day soon. In the meantime, linked below is a YouTube video from our East Coast adventures from last Fall!

We’re still alive! Sorry for the lack of communication. We’re back in Ontario and had an early Christmas celebration with our boys and their beautiful ladies. Trying to reorganize Gertie with winter clothing so we can stay toasty warm for the winter season. And lo and behold, I, Lisa, have come down with cold/flu symptoms. I went for a covid test and waiting for the results. I am feeling much better today so praying the results will be a negative. Thank-you all for your love and support. We’ll see you soon with a new video.
