Ray and Jo Travels
New Zealand
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 8 พ.ค. 2022
Hi, We're Ray and Jo Fidow and we are proud to live in the beautiful city of Dunedin (Otepoti) in the South Island (Te Waipounamu) of Aotearoa/New Zealand so you'll see a lot of Dunedin.
We like to travel, not only in our beautiful country but also the world, particularly around the Pacific and it's edges where we love meeting people wherever they work, play or live. We live by the adage that, 'A stranger is only a person we haven't met yet.' Although we've travelled many times, we are only just beginning to record our trips, so we could take awhile to sort it all out!! So just come with us and see what we get up to... let's go...

Hey thank you! Glad your enjoying them 😊
Thanks for sharing, we're on that ship next month to Fiji..your video's are looking great as usual. Cheers 😊😊
Have a neat cruise. Enjoy!
This takes me back to our Camper Van we hired. The configuration was much the same, however the toilet cassette, Grey Water and water were all on the left side which makes it easy when doing all the chores. One thing that I found was a problem was that when we had our heater was on and it is cold outside, the front windscreen became like a water fall and I had to use paper towels to wipe off the excess water. I am going to have to say I loved the configuration we had, (we had no choice, as it was hired), the only difference is that the fridge would not have been big enough for your needs. Does your van also have the option that when you are sitting at a set of lights, the engine shuts down and the minute you take your foot off the brake and put your foot to the fuel pedal the engine kicks back into life and is good to go? I hated this feature and switched it off as there was a slight delay in getting moving and I was always worried that the engine would not come back to life in time. Love the Lady Bird and would love to experience this life again. Thanks to the wonderful NZ company that I possibly cannot mention here we had a great holiday and got a taste of Lady Bird living.
Hi, Thankfully we don't have the engine cut off but we have driven vehicles with it and we didn't like it. It didn't seem natural! We are throughly enjoying Ladybird and really looking forward to the summer! Thanks again for watching and we'll see you on the next one.
Great video x looking forward to seeing more adventures in Ladybird 🐞
Thank you! Yay yes!!
Hey, love it I think you've picked the best model ever, the garage is huge and the finish is so nice. Poor Toula she's going to miss the adventures. Happy Travels xxx
Thank you ❤️ We so love Ladybird, but yes, we will miss our girl Toula! The upside is that she is very good hands as one of our daughters lives in our house when we're away. We love your current series in Scandinavia. Thank you again for watching (it's a bit scary knowing that some of the people who inspired us are watching 👀) Happy Travels xx
Awesome thanks for showing us❤
You're welcome. Glad you watched, thank you!
Such a lovely van guys!! So lucky!!
Thank you. He'll, yeah, we're lucky to have it. We'll come and see you one day!
Beautiful van…as we have found while down the South Island for 6 months a large or big fridge is not really needed as there is always a shop somewhere
Thank you. Yes, you're right about shops being close by.
Wow wow what a beautiful place......
Thank you ! Lovely to hear from you 😊
We love that area, the trails and the river. Always been one of our Dunedin escapes over the years. Great vid!
Thank you for your comment. Yes, we're very lucky.
The music so suits the cinematography. That alone, is a big thumbs up❣️🥰As for the commentary… Beautiful you two! 100% feels like 👍 m there . Thank yous 😎Hearty greetings from Putaruru- Central-ish North Island N.Z
Kia ora Putaruru! Thank you for your kind comments. So happy you're enjoying our channel ❤️
Beautiful NZ. Love your adventures and very good photography to boot. 🚐🚐🚐🥪❤
Cheers, thank you!
The weather is so good. The area is so pretty. How many days do you stay at home? Do you put the camera n the wind screen?👍👍👋👋😍😍🙏🙏
Hi. Generally the camera is handheld but we have options to mount it. The days we spend away depend on a number of things but we're away as much as we can.
