😀 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.

[@TREADtheglobe]

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you. THANK YOU to all of you for supporting us this year, for taking the time to watch our videos and sharing our adventures. Do you have something on your bucket list that you want to do this year?? Let us know we'd love to hear about it - One of ours is to make get us and Trudy to Japan and South Korea. It's going to be one heck of a year - C&M xx

[@olivesagun2611]

Can't wait to see in Mt.Fuji & Jeju Island in Korea...happy new year ✨️🎉❤️

[@sharongreathouse8575]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@halasalready]

Happy New Year!!!! I can’t wait to see what your adventures bring you this new year!!! Huge hugs!!!

[@FEARNoMore]

Happy new year! Use a fan, open windows to let all that moisture out when you cook (cross breeze), put a lid on pans, pots when cooking & use some moisture absorbers next to the windshield. Happy safe travels!

[@samantha1877]

Haven't you two been there before?

[@joellenkuney7424]

Another thing. Can you imagine being a pioneer, traveling across country and coming across the Grand Canyon. Wow!

[@toddramsay977]

The deer in the forest with the shaggy necks are Elk also known as Wapiti. The males have very large antlers, up to 4ft ( 1.2m) long and can weigh 40 lbs (18 kg). We have been to the Grand Canyon twice and it always amazes you. We camped on the north rim one fall, it has breathtaking views and free camping as well.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks for the info Todd 🌷

[@aliciathom9633]

The first time we visited the Grand Canyon, thirty years ago, it made me cry, it was so stunningly beautiful. We hiked a mile or so down with our kids, and tent camped on the rim so we could get up early to see the sun rise over the canyon. Just epic!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow - that is wonderful

[@vinnylee878]

I couldn't help myself if I was driving aright hand drive, I'd get a false steering wheel and pretend I'm asleep at the wheel with my face against the glass of the door as you pass other traffic

[@onwardbound]

This video brought back so many amazing memories! I remember so clearly, when I first approached the edge of the canyon, it didn't look real - having seen so many pictures (like you said), my eyes and my brain just couldn't put it together. It is truly a magical place that everyone needs to visit. Thanks, as always, for taking us all along with you!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Absolutely !!

[@mirandaash]

LOVE this - brings back so many memories! Stunning part of the USA. 22 years ago in June (so VERY hot), my Mum thought it would be fun to hike down and just put up a tent! Never one to follow the rules she discovered that you couldn't camp at the bottom unless you'd booked! So back up the canyon they went. She got heat stroke on the way back up and my brother had to carry her on his shoulders part of the way. They made it but it was a little hair raising!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Oh wow!

[@sadmadworld8889]

Grand Canyon is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. I was there in 1978. It's Stunning! Happy you got to see it!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@vk33771]

Beautiful trip. The deer in the trees appeared to be elk, as far as I could tell. The far shot of little Marianne standing against the edge of the canyon gave me goosebumps.

[@LoneTraveler-nc6rf]

You two are tremendous ambassadors for the America Beautiful Pass! Thank you for the wonderful outing this morning. I adore your love of travel and adventure.

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Tourist-y isn't exactly a problem in winter. Your bigger concern is weird weather which hits you with frost or God forbid, snow! Flagstaff, for instance, is a higher elevation than most of Arizona. Snow isn't out of the question! A desert is a peculiar environment.

[@darreneaton2145]

First time hiking was in high school early 80's, I've ran Rim to Rim to Rim twice. Most beautiful place in the world.

[@jilllangman9343]

Fabulous video! My partner walks the canyon with our son in law every few years. He’s now 73 but in his group he’s always first out. The young guys cannot believe his level of fitness and his stamina. I think his secret is his afternoon nap. Have a wonderful New Year and l look forward to sharing it. 🌈🌵🐨

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow - that is great !! 🌺

[@joellenkuney7424]

In the 1960's when in my 20's I hiked to the bottom, camped for a few days and hiked back up. About. 2 hours down and 8-9 back. Did you know that there are native people who live on the Canyon floor? Love your video!

[@tumblina7876]

So happy y’all made it to the Grand Canyon! You drove right past my mini ranch as you headed out of Williams. Those are Elk at the end…. They are a staple of our diet most years. There is a book written by Thomas Meyer’s about the deaths at the Grand Canyon. It’s really a great read.

[@lynnoroian2251]

The 1st time I visited the Grand Canyon (north rim) with my son nephew, I keep them your gonna be wowed. It was misty rainy day on the rim when we arrived. The boys were like um where's the wow. Zero visibility. And then the clouds opened. All I heard was OMG WOW. One of the best moment's, for both me and the boys in our travels.

[@carolewhite6356]

I was there in 1982. I was in college so I was there with others and we didn't get to stay as long as I wanted to but I did hike about half way down. Epic place which I hope to revisit.

[@ugurozturk5459]

I can completely understand the emotional response to seeing the canyon for the first time. In 2013, when I was only 19, I left Turkey for the first time ever to go and work at the Grand Canyon North Rim for the summer. I have seen both the South Rim and the North Rim. Both are amazing but it's safe to say that you don't experience the true magnificence of the canyon unless you visit the North Rim. I am sorry that it was out of season. I live in the U.S. now and I recently went back to North Rim to see it once again! 🤩 I checked Polar Steps and I assume you aren't going to have time to visit Zion National Park and Bryce National Park in Southern Utah?

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow what an adventure at 19 !! woo hoo No we are not going on this visit as we have only 12 months in the whole of North America with Trudy - but we will be back in the future to cover some of the bits we missed 🌷🚐🙌

[@deb5710]

Great video! My Grandmother's brother made the raft trip down the Colorado River @ the Grand Canyon with his son when he was in his mid 70's, so age is just a number! Stay safe.

[@kevinlee3099]

Lucky enough to have visited 3 times. Awesome place. One memory was on arrival it was very foggy, We walked to the rim with friends who had not been before. Looked disappointing. THEN all of a sudden it cleared wow. We have always visited in summer, yes its busy but as always its a slick operation with hop on/off busses so have never had a problem with crowds. Must visit. Keep it up guys.

[@tylerrivera1417]

I hiked down south kaibab to the river and up bright angel last year. About 17 miles and 9.5 hours later we finished. Totally worth waking up at 6am for. It can be done in a day (usually in December, January or February).

[@mrscmon]

Happy New Year fromTucson Arizona! I’ve been watching (and so enjoying!) your travels while recovering from back surgery. Just want to chime in that we’ve hiked down from the north rim and up to the south rim in a day all most yearly for the last 25 years. We are older than you! It’s possible and a spectacular hike. So happy to see your reaction to our canyon. 😊 Also...incredibly envious of your van life and absolutely love your positive and so friendly attitudes. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.

[@rmetzger7368]

Glad you got to cross that off your list! A previous resident of Flagstaff, AZ., I have hiked the Grand Canyon 3 times. My brother and I did the down to the Colorado River and back in 1 day. Beautiful, but BRUTAL! New to your channel, via Eva and Vilk. We'll be watching over your shoulder from Port Angeles, WA., USA! Be safe!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Sounds great and Welcome !!

[@fireislandchica6759]

I hiked the south rim in 2021 and walked with the elks at dawn, it was an insane experience!! Next time we are totally camping at the bottom!

[@rick_ehm6752]

Wow…. We were at the watch tower 10 years ago. It is nice to see those views again. Thank you. When we were there I tried to image what it would have been like for the first settlers to see the canyon. What would they have thought? Mind boggling!! Safe travels. All the best in 2023.

[@johnlazlo1908]

I did 2 things on my bucket list Grand Cannon and RT66 Williams.. Traveled from Las Vegas to Phoenix Arizona. Have to say Sedona was also another Bucket list too. Great Video.

[@joytooutoo]

All the Very Best Wishes to YOU BOTH, YOUR LOVED ONES & YOUR Followers for 2023, from Wild West of EIRE. Always look forward to catching up on your new adventures. You are an inspiration. Loved LIVE STREAM, your naturals, thanks a million for sharing your adventures. Grá Mór Big LOVE

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you for your kind wishes 🌷

[@kathifoynm]

The music you chose as you shared views of the GC was spot on. Chris, I’m with you as you experience awe and take it all in, truly an emotional moment. Marianne, “ninja driving skills” brought a smile to my face. Yes, YOU drove to the GC. My last visit to the canyon was off of HWY 95 between Kingman and Boulder City. The native Americans have a lookout point that includes a plexiglass floor for viewing below. Some visitors were on their hands and knees coming off of it. I know you’ve already covered that ground, but others might be interested. 🎉

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Kathi - we had such a great time - Happy New Year xx 🌺

[@lindagrubwieser5912]

Happy New Year! We went to the Grand Canyon in 1993 - this video made us want to go back. Last time I was freaking out because of worrying about our ADHD son darting off and falling over the edge so didn't enjoy it as much as I should have! By the way, those were elk you saw, not deer.😁

[@amymoxley1165]

My daughter hiked the canyon! Totally a bucket list item!

[@Aaron-P]

😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯 So glad you two were able to share this milestone with us!!! Definitely got a lump in my throat a couple times at the beauty of the place. One always sees the wide-angle pan used to try to capture the grandeur, but few people utilize the zoom in/out to communicate scale -- well done, Chris!! A bit of a moot point now you're in warmer weather, but I wonder if putting the thermal blanket on the outside of the windscreen would prevent frost on the inside? 🤔🤔🤔 Maybe held in place with the wipers parked halfway up? Dunno if that would be very clever in the wind tho! 🤣 ❤️❤️😎👍xx

[@TREADtheglobe]

Awwh We had such a great time and it is lovely to share it with you both xx 🌺💕🚐🙌

[@cathleen3192]

Beautiful!!! Brings back fond memories ❤️ We hiked rim to rim in 2012 - amazing adventure with our 3 sons and daughter-in-law. We were 57 and 62 yrs old at the time. So glad we did it!!! Agree with Vicky - they are elk in the trees.

[@rustyhurdis847]

That was Elk with the white bum and shaggy dark neck. The deer around there are muleys.

[@alanwalker8882]

Thank you for this video it brought back memories of many visits to the canyon. The last time it had been raining the day before and the canyon was full of mist so surreal.

[@peggyunderhill601]

My kids did the rim to rim hike. They stayed a night at the bottom of the canyon. Exhausting but hike of a lifetime.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Any verb with 'of a lifetime' after is a great day !! We are so glad you got to experience this wonderful place 🙌🌺

[@RollingNomad-tkr89]

Do you both ever stay up after dark to stare at the night sky when you’re in remote places like this? Not sure I’d ever get any sleep. Thank you for everything you’ve shown us

[@TheShauNanigans]

This seems to be some sort of sign! I plan to build my bed frame in Jean Claude this afternoon. I bought the van in April 2021. I hope to drive her to the Grand Canyon (from Illinois) taking Route 66 once it is finished. I'm renovating it by myself while juggling life and a full time job. I also decided painting the inside of the van was a good idea, so that made it take longer, but she looks amazing, so I think it's a good trade off. Anyway, this year is the year I complete her and drive her there. I'm so close to getting it done! My family also got me some of the items I put on my wish list (like a camping toilet) for Christmas. I've been excited for this for years. To watch your video when I know it will finally come to fruition, just wow! Thank you for this video! It is what I needed to start the year. You both are true champions, and I wish you the best in 2023.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow - thank you - we are so excited for you and your family sound fabulous !! Happy new year and we hope it brings you lots of excitement and adventure - but not more than you can handle LOL Woo Hoo 🌺🚐🙌 Here is to 2023 !! 🍻

[@TheShauNanigans]

@@TREADtheglobe Thank you so much!!!

[@TruthHurts2u]

18:19 That hill is called Navajo Mountain and it's actually in Utah and it's 140Km (88 miles) from Navajo point from where you were standing.

[@royalayla]

Gelukkig Nieuwjaar en de beste wensen voor 2023. We hiked the Bright Angel trail in 1986 (!!!)

[@thom8728]

My nephew, sister, and myself hiked from the North Rim through the canyon to the South Rim in 2019 (Bright Angel Trail) over the course of two days in August. We started the hike in very cold weather only to end it in 100 + temperatures. Very rewarding, but very taxing as well!

[@biddiemutter3481]

18:47 😮 There's a scary crack on the edge. Do you know whether there are changes to the edge each year? Where I live the cliffs are chalk, so I am used to crumbling cliffs. I am so glad you had the extension to your arm there! Each time the camera looks down, I get the 'I've just gone over a hump-backed bridge' feeling in my stomach! I think it's because the layers of different rock give the extra impression of the depth.

[@jimrodda]

We flew in a helicopter from Las Vegas to the bottom of the canyon we could have done a horse ride through some of the canyon but the helicopter ride didn't agree with my wife, so I had a bean dinner in an old salon we could have stayed in a teepee but my wife's wellbeing was more important, oh those happy day's 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@pdriwsteve]

No matter how many pictures or videos you take it can never show the enormity of the canyon. Been twice and caught the old train from Williams, expensive but so much fun.

[@trevburgess5181]

I have been there 4 times and it is breathtaking every time

[@palmertrees]

Been there a while ago, we flew over it from Las Vegas too, Bryce Canyon was another good one.

[@johncurran6031]

The tower looks like a version of a Martello tower. There are some on the English Channel and one near Folkstone that I saw years ago.

[@lindawoody8501]

We visited for 1 night in the autumn last year a few months ago. We stayed in our not converted Ford older Econoline passenger window van which has a queen platform bed and nothing else other than the two front seats. Stayed at the Mather Campground and had Elk in the campground to see. Did see the visitor center area at the rim which was open air tables manned by staffers. Also took the free buses everywhere including the grocery store (When we were on one bus a passenger who spoke German, almost fainted due to having hiked in the heat. The nice lady driver spoke German to her and her companion and got an ambulance and waited with the sick woman with permission of the park officials, until the ambulance arrived. Great helpful people). Attended a nice campfire evening program by a Ranger in the area but drove there. Fun trip! Happy New Year to you both. Safe happy travels! P.S. the big herd near the road where you wanted to park up, were Elk.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Oh what an adventure !! Thank you for being such a good citizens 🌺

[@davidwong9230]

Happy New Year 🎉 At 10:52, I agree that that comment was deep…so is the Grand Canyon…for a boulder comment 😆 As the local wildlife said to that, oh deer 😂

[@pelinbulent4892]

Wow this has to be the number one video - one word: epic! What a wonderful world we live in - the scenery is like an epic movie. Just awesome. Thank you for fulfilling my bucket list of places to visit xxx

[@barrysenior6712]

The pictures don’t do the reality justice do they? We visited the Grand Canyon on the railway from Williams on our tour of Western USA. It was expensive but a fantastic way to arrive there. Thanks for the memories.

[@cigdemmertkol8989]

Manzaralar ve kanyon muhteşemdi. 👍👍👍👍👍🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷👍👍👍👍👍

[@feleciawallace8420]

I was there a few months ago, I thoroughly enjoyed the GC both sides, plus Flagstaff, Sedona and Phoenix... Also include Nevada's favorite cities as well.

[@esra2146]

That's nuts indeed!👏👏👏

[@nickergun4943]

Hello Ambassadors Never a dull moment with you guys👍👍 I must confess that I am jealous 😋😋😋. As I said before, views themselves are Geology👍. I am loving it. I am glad you enjoyed Grand Canyon! Just one little contribution here about Geology. Generally it is safe to assume that each colors of those rocks were formed a different time period and took thousands of years to form ( each Rock layer that is). Also, It took Coloroda River 1.2 billion years to carve these rock formations down to almost a mile depth. Marianne I hope you do well with your knee injury. Keep the videos coming folks. Love from Florida. Donna and her husband also drove from FL to GA, TN, NC, SC and back to FL YESTERDAY while Paula and I house/dog sat.💕💕💕 You guys!

[@suestone7791]

Thankyou for bringing back memories of our trip about 15 years ago. We took a helicopter ride over…. Amazing. Thankyou again, safe travels xx

[@BillHooven]

Nice video. It’s funny that your British GPS voice called it a traffic circle. Our American GPS voice calls it a roundabout. We usually giggle and repeat the word in a British accent so it seems extra fancy. 😂

[@apumpkinsmom]

I've been to the Grand Canyon twice. The first time was a three day rafting trip. The second time I hiked the Havasu trail and stayed in the Havasupai Village at the bottom of the canyon. Looking down from the rim you just can't imagine the desert oasis that lies at the bottom. The greenery, waterfalls and wildlife that you see there are incredible. My bucket list still includes returning to the Grand Canyon.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Happy New Year ! Yes our bucket list seems to be growing so I have bought a book to write them all down in !!

[@discoveringlockenest8420]

If a person can set and view the majesty of this earth and not feel like there is something bigger and more important then mortal man then they do not have a heart! Thank you for sharing! Incredible story you two are passing along! ❤🤙

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you friend - The world is so beautiful and we are certainly blessed to be able to share it 💕🌺🚐 Love to you both xx

[@lindataylor6093]

How amazing. We went over 20 years ago. Stayed in a log cabin after sun set. Also took a helicopter from Las Vegas and landed at the colorando River for champagne breakfast and other year. Flying through the Canyon was the best most amazing experience. Take care and hope the knee and ankle OK now. Happy new year too x

[@bsn2ndsflatdavis378]

Glad you liked the Grand Canyon. When i was a kid , we took school trip 2 day hike from the North rim to the South Rim. Camped at the bottom of the canyon. A few years later I worked at the South rim for a summer. There's always a special space in my heart for the Grand Canyon. I think you can still take a mule train into the canyon , if you don't want to hike. You'd get saddle soreness though. There's a water fall in the canyon called Havasu Falls. Hava Su is Turkish. You can't see it from the top. You have to hike to it or take a plane ride. The Hava Su Indians might be still living down there.

[@RicIngh]

I actually lived in Flagstaff and Page and would make frequent trips to the canyon. The North Rim is superior. The little hill you pointed out is a vent for the actual volcano near Flagstaff. Sunset Crater last erupted in 1066. Williams was a rendezvous place for trappers back in the 1800's

[@mesutozsen903]

[@mikeunlocked]

Looked like an amazing time, can't wait to see the Grand Canyon sometime.

[@drivingmissdisney4322]

The Grand Canyon does take your breath away and the enormity of it. Maybe someday you will make it back and can see the North side. It is very different from the south. The deer you saw leaving was a herd of Elk. Happy New Year to you both. Looking forward to your new adventures to come and hope all goes well while shipping Trudy!

[@kellybryson7754]

We did the "Rails to the rim" train trip from Williams up to the Grand Canyon. It is stunning!

[@rustyhurdis847]

I'm with you, less touristy is what I prefer. I camped on the northern rim in the Kaibab national forest for free.

[@Allycatsx3]

In January 2010 we visited the south rim. Just days prior they had 54 inches of snow. A few years back our daughter and her friend did the hike to the bottom, stayed overnight and hiked back. Thanks for sharing

[@TREADtheglobe]

Oh wow!

[@RobertEchten]

Good morning and happy 2023, guys! Your friends Brittany and Drew (Mr And Mrs Adventure) have hiked the Grand Canyon a couple of times I think! Now that you are in La Paz you could hop over to the main land and check out the Barranca de Cobre. Not sure how doable it is by car/van, but we've done the train that goes between Los Mochis (just across from La Paz to Chihuahua) and it is epic. Supposedly it is even bigger than the Grand Canyon. And as someone already mentioned, those deer appear to be elk, but I'm no expert, so I can't be 100% sure

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Robert - we have just heard the news so will be staying on the Baja side for this visit - They are indeed fabulous and fit humans and we admire them !! (and love them too!)

[@RobertEchten]

@@TREADtheglobe Yeah, better stay on the Baja side until this cools down. If you need more info on what to do, what is safe and what is not, contact me.

When we arrived at Grand Canyon, my brother in law actually thought someone painted the canyon.😂

[@kevinmcmuhammad4841]

Happy New year guys, thanks for keeping Trudy going,

[@ronaroamsdeniseandsonny3545]

I visited on my own about 12 years, on a mini bus from Vegas. It is really the most emotional place I have EVER experienced and I am very well travelled. It definitely and should be shared (so don't go on your own). As nice as your vlog is, it HAS to be experienced in person to "get it"

[@bevtrue6937]

We went to the North Rim. So divine. This you will love. Hugs. Happy new Year. You MUST go see Mesa Verde. Sooo spectacular. Amazing.

The trail that you identified at the bottom, at 11.50 time, is actually a road for off road vehicles. It takes several days to drive end to end.

I stood right where you did to see the canyon for the first time, in September 2020. A bucket list item for me too. Loved it❤

Hi Marianne/ Chris happy new year, lovely video. Wish you a great year👍

[@barbarawhitecotton9548]

[@WT-TV]

Beautiful tour👌Sincerly inspiring, Happy new year and stay blessed ! Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷🙂

[@placesonthelist]

Happy New Year! We have been to the south rim several times. We have also been to the North rim coming down from Zion. On the west end on the Indian Land with the glass bridge over the canyon. And on the east end outside of Page, AZ to see Horseshoe Bend. All the views are amazing.

[@davemassey1981]

Sorry you missed the watch tower, amazing place as was the grand canyon 😎

[@sailingwithgeorge]

Glad you guys are enjoying the Grand Canyon, I have been there and it's truly amazing. I plan on starting my trip in Europe next year and plan to go around Great Britain, might have to reach out to you about must see places to visit. One place I definitely will visit is John O'Groats for sure 😃

[@TREADtheglobe]

Sounds great!

[@roxannepearn9956]

And to you as well guys! Soo happy you guys got to see and experience it. It's quite epic isn't it? It literally took my breath away when I stepped up to the South Rim and it opened up before me. There is a mystical saying that the earth cracked open, the moon flew to the sky and was born there. I never really knew just how beautiful Arizona was and it is on my bucket list to return there someday. 🏜🚐
