Why we DISAPPEARED from social media and what's going on with Vanlife Sagas NOW?

It's been over 125 days since Marie and I last posted on any of the Vanlife Sagas social media. We received several messages in our DMs, emails, comments and even face to face in the streets. People want to know what exactly is going on with the both of us and with the channel.

I'm answering your questions in this very unusual video. Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments in the comment section. I'll do my best to answer everything.

Dom - it is so very good to see your smile again. Life has ups and downs and, I feel, it is we who owe you the apology. I am sorry if your relationship with us made things harder to figure out those ups and downs between you and Marie. I had a monster grin when you said you are all safe and healthy, am so very proud of Marie for working through her PhD, and got teary eyes knowing you were letting us in to the most private part of your lives. I am also proud of you for taking care of yourself and stepping away when it was necessary. It is exciting to see what you have in store for us...and somehow, you really did make me feel like I was in the room with you. Well done. 💙

No apology needed, you don't owe us anything, you are people too and life happens :) Have really missed you though

[LaurBeth]

I can’t imagine how hard it is to share so personally with the world. We’ve missed you, we love you, and wish you both nothing but the absolute best. Thank you for being you.

[Vanwives]

What a very brave and genuine message. Much love to the both of you 💛

[vickiesweitzer]

Awh Dom, what a difficult, heartfelt video. YouTube is such a strange form of entertainment where creators are so exposed, sharing so much of themselves. It is so difficult to go through the life chapters you and Marie went through, and are going through, and to have the world watching has to be so much added pressure. Please continue to be kind to yourself and return on your own terms in your own time. Be well. Be happy.

This is sad to hear that things haven't worked out with you and Marie - I could hear the emotion in your voice and see it on your face. This video shows the type of man you are when you are able to bare your soul in such a public way. I wish you both all the best moving forward. 💔💔💔

[patriciacarter]

Huge hugs to you both. The tears in your eyes when you spoke of Marie and the respect and love you have for her speaks highly of your character. Will watch wherever your future takes you!

[hilaryscott]

We love you as people. No apologies ever necessary. 💕💕

[legojenn]

I've seen your van around town and figured that you'd post when you had something to say. Self-care matters and it's best done without an audience. Take care of yourselves.

[terris]

You don’t owe us anything. We just tag along for the ride. Life gets in the way sometimes and social media is all a bit overwhelming and fake. Thank you for being real. Wish you both happiness and success.

[allisonsherman]

Love you guys. You can only do what feels natural. Whatever the path, all of the very best ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[kellypoulos]

Thank you for honest transparency, I can only imagine how difficult that is when you’re under a bit of a microscope….. Much luck to you in your new adventure and the next season of life!

[travelwithtmc]

Dom & Marie, I've got nothing but respect for you both. I can't imagine sharing that much of myself online and all that comes with it. You're both awesome (from what I can tell in your videos and our brief chats) and wish you two nothing but the best in everything you do. Keep taking care of yourselves as you see best. You don't owe us anything. Health is the most important thing in life - in every sense of the word. Sending love and support your way as you move through these tough times.

[vantastic_explorers]

Can see you are struggling. Sending all the love and good wishes your way. Can't wait to see the next chapter ❤️

[lesliemyrick]

Seeing you was that favorite human moment when you see an old friend and take the time to catch up. You know, those friends we have that with them time means nothing. Thanks Dom, so good to see you again!

[lizdwyer]

Forgot to add… Definition “Saga: a long, involved story, account, or series of incidents.” Yours continues. ❤️

[BookItTravel]

YouTube is a wild beast. Starting any business as a couple is hard. Sharing your story as a couple with the world is next level. No apology or explanation needed. Appreciate the openness!

[crynolyn]

Was just wondering about you earlier today. You don't owe anyone an apology, life happens. Thank you for the update, hugs

[jenniferhawkins]

1) so glad you’re both okay!!!
2) thank you for openly sharing your life with people who don’t share their lives with you in the same way. Thank you for honoring the “relationship” that exists through the screen.
3) it’s so nice to see y’all tackling life’s inevitable changes in a healthy way. Processing, adjusting, and moving forward. Looking forward to seeing where you each go from here, whatever of your lives you’re willing to share! 💛

[MooreDoing]

Unnecessary apology accepted. I’ve missed you both. Very sorry that chapter is closed. I truly enjoyed watching two people having fun and most often being an apparent match. No matter the channel subject or format, I’m here to share in real experiences and observe people exploring their passion. Just be you and do nothing more. Goofy Dom, sad Dom, singing Dom, Vandom (see what I did there?)… give me Dom
