Hi, I’m Jacquie — better known as Frosty McFrostface ❄️🚐🚲
I’ve been living full-time in a minivan in Canada, documenting van life in extreme winter, solo female travel, and simple living on the road — including -40 °C prairie nights!
This channel began as an deep look at Canadian vanlife, urban stealth camping, and minimalist living — the freedom and the challenges.
Now, at nearly 60, I’m expanding the adventure.
I’m off to Europe/UK for a fully loaded, solo bike journey — a human-powered pilgrimage continuing this path of alternative living and slow travel.
Here you’ll find:
Canadian van life & winter van living ❄️
Solo female travel over 50 / 60
Bike touring Europe & cycle touring UK 🚲
Minimalist living, budget travel & alternative lifestyles
Gear, setups, and lessons from the road
If you’re interested in van life, cycle touring, or starting a new adventure later in life — you’re in the right place.

About time for a wee catch--up! Some lovely viewers have been wondering where I've been, and if I'm still alive and well. I am indeed alive, but I took a temporary, last minute job offer which has seen me working 12-hour shifts for the last couple of weeks. Between that, the commute, and difficult living conditions, YouTube has been on hold.
Really helpful though - I'm earning the extra dosh which will allow me more travel!!!
My contract comes to an end in a few days, and we shall see you shortly after that. I've really missed you all!! 😎😉💪🥰

Well… that took a while. 😬😂
But Episode 10 is FINALLY finished and on its way!
I'm sorry I've kept you waiting so long for this one — life on the hot and dusty road and editing videos are not always the happiest of travelling companions.
But here it is! Join me tomorrow at **7pm Madrid time** as I leave the quiet Camino Aragonés behind and finally join the famous Camino Francés.
And, well… things don't go quite as expected. 😬🚲
See you tomorrow! ❤️

Hello everyone!
Just a quick update to let you know that I'm alive, well, and have successfully survived the recent heatwave! 😊
I'm currently cycling through a part of my journey where the terrain has been more challenging than expected, and it's proving surprisingly difficult to find good places to camp, rest, recharge both myself and my electronics, and sit down for long enough to edit videos.
I'm also feeling a little physically and mentally tired at the moment, so Episode 10 is taking longer than I'd hoped. I'd rather take the extra time and do it properly than rush it.
I'm hoping to get caught up over the next week, so thank you for your patience. In the meantime, I hope you're all enjoying your own summer adventures, wherever you are.
Thanks, as always, for following along, for your encouragement, and for sticking with me while I catch my breath. I promise I haven't disappeared, and Episode 10 is on its way!
See you soon,
Jacquie

Well, I've been in the folding editing chair since 10 o'clock this morning and it's now gone 11 p.m., but Episode 9 is finally uploaded and scheduled!
Join me tomorrow at 2 p.m Madrid time for my first days riding the Camino Aragonés, the quieter route to Santiago that I chose simply because I didn't know what awaited me there.
As it turns out, quite a lot.
See you tomorrow.
Buen Camino,
Jacquie 🚲
