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.

Four of my favorite peeps in one video... I be happy. So glad you finally are getting to go to Mexico. Safe travels ladies.

[@talandmads]

Thank you Sharon!! See you Sunday (from Mexico!!)

[@arthyland]

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light , may all things that are good be around you morning and night!! Have a great trip Tal , Mads & Bowie.

[@Vanwives]

Love you gals!! OVER the moon we got to see y’all on your way south- how special was that 💛💛💛💛

[@talandmads]

Love you right back

[@patrickcleveland]

Y’all stayed right with it…hope Tals back is better soon. I think everyone got a cold last week. I love Bowie protecting you from the bad man at the border. I always found it easier to cross at Sarnia. Jazz and Crystal really get around, don’t they? Last week they was on a train, yesterday they were in the Bahamas, and now Nashville. I hope they explain it all. Hope your enjoying your trip. Stay safe.

[@talandmads]

Thanks Patrick! And you’re right, those gals are on the move! And isn’t Bowie just so good at his job!!!

[@cathieperezreyes]

So nice that you got to meet up with the girls in Nashville!! Ugh I’m so sorry about your back, Tal! Hope it’s better now. Be safe ❤❤❤

[@talandmads]

Thanks Cathie! After 2 days of stretching it was back to normal :) 🧡

[@berniesenske994]

Ahhhh, my 4 favorite girls and 3 puperoonies in one video. Nice to see you back on the road. I hope your back heals up soon Talia. Have a safe trip and comfortable nights. Love you all Bernie ❤

[@talandmads]

Thank you so much Bernie! We all love you back! See you Sunday for more fun :)

[@sallypool6946]

Sciatic sufferer here. My doctors advise: ice the lower back for 15 min. Do light stretches; knee to the chest then hold 5 sec. Then other knee to chest. Do three times ;then cross left ankle over right ankle while standing and hold 10 seconds then relax. Do three times. While on the road: stop every two hours and walk ten minutes then do stretches. Use tens unit with four pads( about 40$ at Walgreens)for twenty minutes as needed. This cuts the pain and increases blood flow to promote healing. Try not to overuse. Good luck!❤

[@ssecor40]

Happy Sunday All, it's the best day of the week, its Tal, Mads and Bowie time... WOOT WOOT 😀😎❤🐶Be safe and have fun ladies!

[@steverosenthal4390]

Totally appropriate song to be playing “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” while you’re in Nashville. Come on Mads..shake it! 😂

[@talandmads]

Hahah shake it!!!

[@Hereandnow3]

My gosh ladies what the heck fire!! That’s so wild you get so damn far and so quickly!! One thing for certain, Bowie is the only one who is to ever sit in his only seat upfront! 💙🐾. So, so perfect you got to see Jazz and Crystal and the pups awesome fun! 💕💕🐾💝🐾💜. Hoping your back relaxes and no bad colds ladies! Thanks so much for sharing with us! 💕🐾💙🌈🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐. To the beach!!! 💜

[@talandmads]

Thanks for watching!! We crushed the drive!! It’s easy to be motivated to continue driving when you know where you are ending up! See you Sunday 🧡

[@valeriaproductions]

Glad you were able to meet up with Jaz and Crystal! Please be safe - wishing you a joyous trip. Sciatica is the WORST!!

[@talandmads]

Thank you!! It was too much fun seeing them!

[@lassam333]

Making it throughout the USA in even 4 days is an awesome effort. So beautiful that you had the possibility to meet Crytal and Jaz in Nashville and have some fun together. Looking forwards to your adventures in Baja. Hope that Tal is doing better.

[@davidchipman1156]

I love Vanwives sightings

[@talandmads]

So do we :)

[@christinecleaveland3702]

U should get a tens unit. It has sticky patches that has wires that plug into a power source and u control the electricity that goes to the patches that are placed on ur sore areas. It really works.

[@elp1883]

love you too! peace and love!!!

[@caroltrombley2838]

You guys make me laugh for sure 😂. I love that you were out having fun with Crystal & Jaz in Nashville! Such a great place to meet up. You made good time crossing America. I'm sure it's hard the first couple nights of vanlife after not being in it for awhile. Have fun in Baja. I know you will. Thank you for always sharing and making us smile. Be safe ❤😊

[@davidslate2005]

Loved the entire video. So we'll done. So much love and sweetness.

[@riff2072]

"I should like to rise and go, where the golden apples grow"-RLS. Have fun and eat those 'apples.'

[@colleenbalch328]

YAYYY! Funday, Sunday on the road. So great to know you’re out having fun AND got to see Bella, Izzy, Jaz, and Crystal too!

[@mannyg53]

I love Bowie the security guard.

[@raktoda707]

Safe travels...your humor and intelligence takes you far ! Thanks for making us laugh

[@stephenkennedy7931]

Nashville is a wonderful place to visit so glad you could meet up with Jaz and Crystal! Enjoy it girls you deserve it. God Bless from your Canadian Friend. I can sympathize with you as I have had that pain and suffer from a deteriorating lower spine.

[@theroving1]

Hope your back is good now Tal, I get a sports massage every two weeks to help with mine...... I am ancient though. We are so looking forward to the next few video's, if only I could get my partner to live in a van for a few months, bit of a drive from the UK though lol.

[@talandmads]

Back is all good now! Thanks for the kind comment! Would be quite the journey from the UK - but we have actually seen a handful of European vehicles that have been shipped over! Thanks for watching!

[@padders1068]

Tal and Mad, thanks for sharing and making me smile 🙂Tal, lovely to see you getting the Zoomies, that's normally Bowie's or Mads' job 😂🙂 Safe and happy trip! 🙂😎❤

[@xrayman073]

I just started watching you ladies. Awesome channel. I’m a fellow Canadian so I’ll be hoping you all the best in your travels and enjoy your travels. I will worry about you both. Be vigilant, be safe and I’ll keep watching. ❤️

Jazz and Crystal, the Best people to run in to.

Hope your back is better soon. Driving is not easy.

[@GregoryMl62]

It's so good to see you back this week. You had me laughing and smiling throughout the whole vlog.

[@talandmads]

Best compliment ever!

[@petervandergugten]

Nice to see you on the road again I hoop Talja's throat and back heal soon Probably a nerve pinch in the back maybe with a little streching it will be les painful I've had the same thing happen when I've been driving for too long after a holiday Have FUN and be SAFE

Thank you!! We're so happy it worked out that we could all meet up! See you Sunday :)

[@TexasLocalProduce]

The Van Wives! Those 'Callejeras'! hahaha. They were just in the Bahamas with my other fav, Nikki Del vanthal! Man, they are going to be wiped by the time they make it back to the cabin! Hopefully that nasty Snow will be gone by then.

[@gloriaeller4328]

Sorry about your back Tal. Hope it gets better soon

[@askmisspatience]

Wondering if the back issue is sitting for long driving sessions. When your body isn’t use to this, yet. When I start out have a right leg issue. What I’ve done to help is stop more often, stretch and walk. Not sure this will help, but it sounds like the body adjustment scenario. Maybe do yoga daily that focus’s on legs and back. Hope this is helpful. ❤

[@talandmads]

You’re definitely right! It was all better after a few days of stretching and walking it out :)

[@Cant-we-all-just-get-along]

Love seeing you have a goodtime with Jaz and Cystal. If you stand up or lay down be straight and grab your toes and hold that position for awhile. It should help. Happy travels!!!

[@talandmads]

Yes! This stretch helped so much!

[@beatmueller5119]

Sciatica, ugh. I sure hope it improves quickly. FYI I had great results from a cheapo acupressure mat last time I had sciatica. Good luck and happy travels!

[@IndecisivePsycho]

Hey there, it’s super exciting to see y’all on a new adventure down south. Nashville looked real fun. I have to say that I am feeling worried for you while watching this though, worried because there was a lot of footage of you both wandering around the van while in motion. It made me feel quite queasy to be honest. I just want y’all to be safe. Seeing less of that would make me feel a lot better. Please be careful. Lots of love.

[@talandmads]

Thank you for watching and caring! We appreciate you!
