    OUR STORY:
    We're Tal & Mads - a Nurse & Teacher couple from Toronto, Canada who fell in love while traveling the world together. When we adopted our dog Bowie, we decided the best way to continue traveling would be in our self built camper van, Billie. We hit the road in January 2022 and drove all the way through the United States and into Mexico. We thought creating vlogs would be a great way to keep our friends and family updated while being a wonderful memento of our travels. And now, here we are sharing anything and everything that we think will make you smile.

  • @dianethompson463
    @dianethompson463 ปีที่แล้ว

    If not mistaken , first it was the climbing the ice mountains and then the airplane and everything became one day we will. I believe that plane ride and what you experience going above the clouds and landing in warmth and eating ice and landing back made a change. And so now you are climbing the iceberg mountain. Continue to climb every mountain because you are finding your dreams come true.I believe in you !

    As Canadians, I’m surprised you didn’t know what crampons were. 😂 It’s a borrowed word from French with the same spelling just pronounced differently. It’s used widely in the winter especially.

    Such an awesome trip. It was nice to see how things work close up. I would have considered doing this 40 years ago, but now I'm sadly to old and out of shape for something like this. I'll have to settle for ice in my glass 🤣🙃 Your guide was very nice; you ended up with a good one. It was cool to find out about that ice rescue a couple years ago; so glad everyone survived. To bad you lost your drone. It was probably ready for it's 1000 mile check up anyway, lol. I thought it was so interesting to see most everything there, besides white, had a blue tinge to it. Very pretty. Maybe the next adventure could be to check out all the McDonalds along the road.......NO!.....well, maybe I'm just hungry. Anyway, whatever adventure you two do, I'm sure will be just as beautiful as this and Danalie. Love you both... Bernie ❤

    Ahhh the water here in the north is the best water you’ll ever taste! I’ve gone on hikes in Juneau to smaller glaciers and going for a wade in the water and drinking right from the glacial runoff is the best!!
    I don’t do a lot of hiking these days because I have moderate spinal and foraminal stenosis causing quite a bit of pain but I’m hopeful physio helps.
    I don’t know if I could do the ice climbing. My fear of heights might take over. I had a hard enough time installing fans in my van roof. 🤪🤪🤪 in my defense I almost fell 20 feet working in lights in a small theatre space years ago. It’s not the fall that scares me. It’s the landing!!
