😀 A BIT ABOUT US:
We’re Marianne & Chris, a happily married couple from the UK. Marianne is a living kidney donor to her best friend, and realising that life was for living and never really knowing what’s round the corner - we decided to fulfil our dream of travelling full time.
So in March 2018 after the kids had left home, we sold our belongings, rented our house and moved into our campervan called Trudy. We set off to see the world and after vanlifing around Ireland and Europe, we grabbed our backpacks and spent 5 months exploring Central America.
Feeling like we needed a challenge, we planned the ultimate van life adventure! In Jan 2020 set off to drive around the World from UK to UK. But after arriving in Turkey, covid caught up with us and closed the borders, so we had a wonderful 18 months exploring this special country. Realising we were not going to be able to head further East, we decided to do a handbrake turn and go the other way and shipped our van to the USA.
We hope you enjoy coming with us, and we’ll continue to share our real adventures and hope you feel inspire to step out of your comfort zone and try something new.

I love living the dream vicariously through you two.
Went through steward don't remember it. This is where we disinbarked after a cruise.
Along with everything else, I think you have the best background music for each episode….at the appropriate volume! Thank you for all your efforts. Loving all your posts.
“Epic” scenery in today’s vlog. I lived in my mosquito head net while paddling in Canada for a month. You certainly wear yours well, Marianne. Beautiful shot of the lynx and I’m sure you’ll catch more than a black bear’s bum soon. Safe travels.
LOL - thanks Kathi, that is very sweet - best wishes - love M xx
I spent the summer and fall in Alaska (mid-80s) working the fish canneries. I don't even remember their being mosquitoes! And we were camping the whole time!
PS: If hiking trails in Bear country, clack some pots and pans while walking and picking berries 😄 Worked for us.
There’s a lynx by the side of the road! There’s also the links in the description below 😆 Message from the bear broadcasting company: apologies that none of them were free to appear this week…you’ll have to bear with them 🐻😂
I have been hitchhiking with you since Ireland, can't believe we are in Alaska now 😀🙏
Ineke - we made it !! what an adventure - thank you so much for coming with us xx Love Marianne xx
Rather than being bleak in the winter, I think it would be beautiful up in that little town. A bonus is that the mosquitos fly south for the winter.
Watched the film with a big smile, keep em coming……thoroughly enjoyable…..thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow that Lynx was pretty special.
Wow just wow , what an amazing place the more i see the more I want to go , what scenery, stay safe guys much love ❤
Epic!! Wow - that’s a fabulous view from the loo. Before watching your journey to Alaska and Arctic Circle I was a sandy beach palm trees beautiful seaview person however wow!!! The world is truly beautiful xxx
bears dusk and dawn they like.. also living in canada the secret to bush life for mosquitos is take a hoodie spray it with mosquito spray and just keep using that same hoodie, spray it outside really well every day.. then you only dirty one hoodie and you are good to go
Outstanding as usual!
You are very fortunate to have seen the Lynx. Wow! Nice. The mosquito net hat works well and is fine. Sometimes function over beauty is best. Fun bit about the previous mosquito bite near the eye. Safe travels!
I was there in 2007 , "retirement trip" stayed in one of those buildings, beautiful, granite floors, Hugh clawfoot tub. Highlight of my trip. Destination Faro Yukon. Thanks for these memories
Just saw your van in lady smith hope your enjoying it here!!!
hi there - yes we are currently based in Chemainus and today been at the wash me on ludlow carwash :)
had to check my photo album as we drove that route in 2007. We were in Hyder on 20th of July and saw grizzlies and black bears. Don't know the time lag of travel and you posting the vlogs. Plenty time yet for salmon runs and bears! I didn't see any lynx until I travelled to the Yukon in the winter, there was one sat beside the road in the snow. Lovely kitties
That's lichen on the bridge - the beardy one❤
Real northern nature, so beautiful 😍 Marianne don't lose your mosquito 🦟 net! You need it when you drive in Norway, Sweden and Finland, now you can taste it how is living with the mosquitoes... take care 😘
Any vehicle over 18 yrs old still abled to drive the circumference of the world deserves respect along with her non Gen z passengers. 😊
Ha ha - thank you 🌷
Your enthusiasm was so contagious! Hope you get to see a bear soon!
Salmon Glacier has shrunk a bit since I photographed it at the same spot in 2017. I was lucky and saw quite a few bears. Also at the nature center catching Salmon.
I love watching your videos and hope you are having a great time in Alaska ☺️ Greetings from Germany!
I love love love Germany!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Mary Ann try wearing a baseball cap then the netting. The cap will keep the net away from your face.
Thanks for the tip 👍
Loved the episode! 🙂Alaska reminds me a bit of your travel to Kars through Eastern Blacksea mountains.
It does!
I was in Alaska/Canada with my wife in 2010 and we encountered the "no-see-ems" i.e. extremely small mozzies - bloody horrid things! Enjoy you trip, it was certainy one of our best holidays. The Kenai pensinsular from Seward is spectacular and a trip up to Barrow is a must!
Beautiful!!! I have a couple of friends doing this trip now too in their RV. I'm enjoying seeing all the great pictures 😊. Stay safe!
That is awesome!
Just beautiful .Loved everything .Well done both of you and Trudy .My goodness what an adventure for you both.The mosquitos you need some powerful repellent for those ones .Really wonderful journey. Thank you for sharing. X
Wow -- look at you guys! Love this video -- be safe and enjoy!
Thank you for doing it for me! I’ve always wanted to see what the Arctic circle looked like...😅
You guys seem fun, you should come to Edmonton Alberta! It’s lovelly here
Love seeing your faces *beaming* at the scenery!! 🤗 The landscape is deffo getting rugged! As you passed the wide stony riverbeds with the giant fallen tree trunks strewn about, I'm imagining the violent torrents they must transform into. 😱😱😱
Like driving Calais to Iran, but instead of civilization it's an endless wilderness. "Epic" is just the word to use! ❤️❤️😎👍xx
ABSOLUTELY EPIC !! Love to you both xx
just stunning scenery, and that lynx! Alaska has been on my bucket list for years. One day….❤️
Would love to have both your confidence and be able to do this. Looking forward to the next video.
Omg soooo beautiful. Thank for all your gorgeous filming. That last wood walkway looks like it was growing hair. 🤣🤣
Also loved "Mosquito Airlines".
❤️😊🌿⚘️🌿
🤗 Thanks - it was fabulous xx
Alaska!! WOO HOO🏞🌲🌳. Fantastic & Stunning Scenery 👌. Wonderful shot of the Lynx. Safe & Happy travels Guys.☘xxxx.
Woo Hoo - yes we made it !! M xx
Very nice . Maybe some day I'll have to do that drive.
Playing 'epic', 'born ready', 'how xxxxx is that', 'woo hoo' bingo 😉
That Lynx find was epic!
Love you guys and it makes me smile when I see you have another adventure online for me to enjoy!
An English vicar goes on missionary work in the Canadian wilderness,.
As he's going through the forest suddenly he's chased by a big bear.
The vicar as he's being chased by the bear he suddenly drops to his knees and begins to pray.
As the vicar turns his head round he sees the bear is also on his knees praying,
"Thank you, lord it's a miracle,"says the vicar,
"Shut up says the bear, I'm trying to say grace before my dinner"
LOL !! That is a great one ... if we see any kneeling bears .... we will run !! 😂😂
the distances are just so huge
Absolutely supreme views in this video, thanks for sharing and stay safe!
You should have 100,000 subscribers by now. You both are gems.
Another great vlog, outstanding scenery. Reminded me a lot of NZ , waterfalls, lakes , mountains, even the ‘ traffic jam’ lol. Keep the vlogs coming, I’m loving them , safe travel you lovely pair xx
Thanks Sue
How's your Tready Bear? There are definitely logs of trucks.
TRUDY!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! hahaha A trip to the mechanic and car wash and she'll be ready to get dirty again - especially going up the Dalton Highway!! lol I love how excited you both are just to be living life and seeing all these amazing new sights! Sending so much love and luck for a safe journey ahead - especially to Trudy haha xo
Thanks lovely people .... 🌷
So happy you made it to Alaska! Great video
FYI - windshields are the fast food joints for birds ...
Lynx was amazing 😃
We feel so lucky to have seen one
Those views are gorgeous and that glacier looks breathtaking even on my small-ish screen. The only thing that saddens me is that you can see the size the glacier used to be by the discoloration on the rocks.... 😞Thank you for sharing your trip with us so we can see all of it, the good and the bad...
Its beautiful the glacier the sad thing is it might not be there in 10 years
@@alybridgwater3282 I am pulling out my photo album, I was there at that glacier (Bear Glacier) in 2007. The ice covered the darker rock that time. I even got a photo of the mouth of the glacier, it was close to the lake
This is the most beautiful video y’all have made!
Wow, thank you! That is a very kind we are so grateful to have you on this adventure 🙏🌺🌷
Thank you guys stay healthy safe and blessed
😊 What a trip, so much open space.
If you went up or come back on the AlCan hwy (Alaska Canada) in the Yukon, there is a bunch of wildlife you will see along the way. Also in Dawson City, Yukon Canada you can take the road up to Inuit, in the NW Territories and cross the Arctic Circle and drive all the way to Tuktoyuktuk on the Arctic Ocean. The show Ice road truckers is filmed on the McKenzie River in the winter. They completed a normal gravel road to the Arctic Ocean in 2017. It is called the Dempster hwy.
Thanks for the tips 👍
BBC should sign you guys up on their travel channel weekly.
Wouldn't that be great - we have been on our local BBC news a few times but no offer yet !!!
@TREADtheglobe If I live in UK I would definitely write on your behalf to push for it.
Wow wow. Amazing. I'm buzzing for you both. X
Woo Hoo
Dünyanın cennet köşesi ama çok ürkütücü, siz yol alırken inanın ürktüm, cesaretinizi alkışlıyorum.👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
Thank you
You turned around a little too soon on that gravel road north of Hyder. The salmon glacier was just a few kilometres from there. I spent 4 summers around Stewart looking for gold.
but the road gets worse, it rattles our RV pretty good!
happy safe travels ❤️🙋♀️
Thank you! 😃
You are both amazing people ❤️
Can’t say enough how amazed I am seeing God’s great country..Ty again for showing us all the beautiful places we wouldn’t see if it wasn’t for you .. beautiful picture of the Lynx 😍I’m sure you will see some bears soon..just be careful and have fun. 💖💖💖
you guys are EPIC, Leg Ends (legends) love your adventure so so much, much love & warm hugs from west coast of Ireland
Leg ends !! We will take that !! Sending love back xx
I just love you guys. I think you're awesome. And the videos that you do you always let people know what's going on there. safe travels and God bless you guys🙂🙂🙏🙏🙏🐢🐢💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks so much
Gosh this is exciting, guys! A dream trip for sure :) keep safe! I had to laugh because the subtitles said you had chickens and cockroaches at home but you were saying cockerels. Too funny 😄
Great job guys. I love watching you both. Makes me laugh Lori
perfect scenery and a perfect couple :) we miss you from Turkey :)
What a stunning place, but again those pesky bugs !!!!!! Marianne you rock that mosquito net 🫶 ❤️
LOL !! thanks Paul 🙌
Wow the lynx!
What an amazing journey, made all the better by your joy of it.
Thank you for sharing
it gets better
ah you added a little "x rated spice " at the end! love the way you guys hold hands. You need a cork hat from Australia for the mossies!
No! No no no! You drove through Hyder and didn’t go all the way up that road (20 mi) to the most EPIC glacier ever! (Salmon Glacier. It’s huge!) I’m dying! You must go back.
Great views! Bears hear you long before you see them. They skedaddled!
Beautiful scenery,
Alaska looks amazing it is definitely on our list.
Sending you2 some love from Norway 🙂
It's so good! You will love it - sending love from us xx
eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler 👍👍👍👍
Never heard of pilot car. Interesting.
Stunning scenery, hope you get to see a bear 🐻 soon! 💛
Soooo nice to follow you on this adventure🙏🏽😊. Hoping to do something similar next year! Where did you get the fabulous sticker (US map with all the states)?💖
Hey Eija - we found it online there are a few variations 👍
Stunning:)
Lack of words 🙏🙏🙏🙏
thank you for great videos ambassadors! Stewart area view was great. Waterfalls, Lynx and MOSQUITOS ( I would worry about mosquitoes than I would of bears LOL.🤣🤣🤣
I COVER WINDOWS WITH MESH Mosquito NETS
IN MY SUV. They work pretty good, they go over your door to cover the windows. Once they are on the windows you roll your window down to get fresh air outside in the vehicle. Donna ( sister-in- law) had bought them for me from Amazon for $ 19 a pair, I love it.
Thanks for the great videos. Love you guys💕💕🇹🇷🇹🇷
Thanks Nick - we have not really needed them before ... but I might check this out 👍
Wow this video was epic ❤️ x
Alaska Harika biryer, araç iyi dayandı yollara Türkiye , Gürcistan ve ABD Alaska müthiş, tebrikler 👍🙏☕️🧿🌹
Thank you so much - yes she is doing great 🚐🌺
I'm not surprised at the road works - it explains some of the high taxes. There were logs of trucks...
Spectacular, awesome and amazing
You have convinced me the best way to see Alaska. I’m scared of bears too but inside a van is better. Did you put your unrefrigerated food in bear boxes(or whatever they are called)? To keep the bears away from your van? Oh my goodness. Glorious Scenery❤️💜❤️😇
Hi - we didn't use a bear box / storage but kept everything in the van - It has been an absolutely epic adventure - we are excited to share it 🌺
The best digital nomads ever. (At least for me :)
Awwh Thanks 🌷
The mosquitoes are like hummingbirds coming in for a landing.
Another amazing vlog!
You need shots of lunch!
good luck in Alaska
So beautiful scenary, and hardy anyone else on the roads other than mosquitos.😏😏
Sorry you did not get a good view of a bear ! I hope you see one or many very soon. 🐻 🐻❄ 😍
You didn’t go see the Salmon Glacier in Hyder, AK? That is why you go to Hyder?
I'm sure that you know that some mosquitos carry really serious diseases, I know you aren't there now, but please do be careful xx
Driving a pilot vehicle all day would send me bonkers, up and down the same piece of road, I couldn't do it.
Gemlik kumladan selamlar teşekkürler
