In the case of Levi and Leah, the Canadian couple decided in May 2022 to buy a 2012 Prius vehicle to go on a “road trip” (road trip in Spanish) through North America. Since then, they have managed to adapt to a nomadic lifestyle and one of their destinations was Mexico, where they slept parked in gas stations.
“We want to complete the journey of our life. We left our apartment in town to spend the next few years touring North America. We’ve had countless adventures with our little car,” Levi and Leah shared in a video for their YouTube channel on Oct. 22, 2022.
A Canadian couple sleeps in a gas station during their “road trip” in Mexico
Between their adventures, Levi and Leah had to sleep in the parking lot of a gas station in Mexico. Through their viral video, they show how they did it: they first parked in a place a bit far from the loading area so as not to hear too much noise.
Later, they took advantage of the fact that the bathroom of said gas station had showers and baths. They asked permission to stay there and started folding the car seats, then unrolling their blankets and laying out their pillows.
Finally, the Canadian couple ended their day with a simple dinner they cooked themselves and tried watching Netflix, but when the internet failed they had to resort to a few books to keep them entertained until bed.

“When we told people we were going to drive our car around Mexico, everyone told us not to because it was too dangerous. travel advisory, you can see exactly the points we have to cross.
Then the couple explained that they use the toll roads, because in their opinion, they are safer and they also do not go out at night in dangerous areas. Precautions to take when going on vacation to any other place in the world.
“Driving and seeing the scene was nothing like what we expected. The food was amazing, the town of Aguascalientes [México] It was amazing, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t take precautions on our trip. These are things you’ll always take with you wherever you travel, so it’s good to protect yourself, but don’t let that keep you from adventures.
