Our overall plan in India is to travel via rickshaw/tuk tuk from the South to North (if it's possible?) The next leg of our journey is to travel all the way through Kerala, and then a bit more of Tamil Nadu before reach Karnataka
WE POST VIDEOS EVERY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY 7PM AND SUNDAY 9AM (British Time
We have only just arrived in India, after a crazy time back home doing van life and living full time in our camper van conversion for two years in the UK. But after some serious engine problems that cost us a fortune, we came to India on a mission to honour Liam's Grandad's legacy who sadly died earlier this year. With the inheritance money Liam got from that, we bought the tuk tuk and named it after Liam's Grandad.

Has Janine ever driven the tuk-tuk?

[@rakeshs7463]

Am glad you’re heading to Isha yoga centre for mahashivaratri… For those who don’t know what is.. can get a view of that event live here kzbin.infoh-U1m0Bn4bo?feature=share

[@matt_kildea]

The only reason I found you is India.. I think India is going to be a game changer for your channel. Keep up the great work 😎

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you so much 😀

[@katyjones4108]

You absolutely look so at home and at ease. I love India and you are visiting the favourite places of mine. I have travelled in India on my own, a female, late 40s and I found it the same as you. JUST BRILLIANT! And yes, the people are amazing!

[@mohan02]

Rikshaws are meant for short rides, that is why local people are concerned about you guys riding around in it across the country besides they don't have any safety features apparently.

[@stevedawson3082]

India seems to suit you both. Stay as long as you can and are both having fun. I was in the south of India a few years back so your videos are a real trip down memory lane. Thank you

[@onlyme2426]

Come again Steve. Kerala is waiting for you since long

[@lorrainesherwin3147]

The climate in india is great for lungs. I was ill in UK. And moved to a warmer climate. I am now well, no lung prob. A scarf in India that the women wear is an elegant and useful, shade, wind protection. And dust!. Glad your feeling better Janine!

[@laurelcoverly4449]

Thank you for a great Q & A session. You said you were surprised so many people continued to follow you on your Indian adventure. How could we not? It's not just where you go but who you are. You have positive friendly attitudes and just make every video so enjoyable. Thank you 😊

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you for saying that, India has proven to us that is true and we are so grateful 🙏 💓

[@casellaemil9088]

Hi Liam and Janine! I’m so happy for you to have this experience in India. I am from Kanyakumari and I really enjoyed watching your Pongal experience. You guys have a lovely free spirited vibe. I appreciate the tips you shared for fellow travellers planning to travel to India. I would love to add a drinking water tip to that. You can always ask for boiled water in a restaurant that’s free of charge in most South Indian restaurants. The water might be warm but it is safer than drinking unfiltered water. Stay safe! Enjoy India, there is a lot of magic amongst the chaos there ❤

[@paulfrost4678]

You guys are living your dreams , not many people get to do that . Watching your videos every week it’s plain to everyone that’s been following you for a while that you both are suited to life in India, your both happier and healthier, maybe it’s you guys that should go back and watch all your trials and tribulations of your last 18 months in the Uk . Travelling has been in both of your blood , without it you wouldn’t have met . Follow your dreams you really do only get one chance at life . Massive thumbs up to you both . I’d love you to do this type of trip in other Asian countries, Thailand, Vietnam , Cambodia etc

[@travellingyoginikas]

Paul.... Yes Liam and Janine are massive adventure seekers arent they. I adore them. I travelled in India and I was happier and slimmer there. Now I'm travelling in the UK as my family are here and I have to be around at the moment as a family member is unwell. I'm certainly not the high on life slimmer person that I was in India lol 😆

[@johncapper2615]

In your Q&A, discussing whether you'd quit van life in the UK, it seemed like you were apologising for having a great time in India.IMO I see you both energised and really happy, way more than I've seen you before. There's no shame in not loving van life in the UK (is there?).

[@carolinetomkinson760]

Hats off to you both for following your dreams and living your best lives together. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures. Loving seeing India through your eyes. Take care 💖🤗🥰xxx

[@chrisbarber1187]

Having just recently lost a work college suddenly,I have every admiration that this is the way to spend your life together. My friend had worked in a garage for over 40 yrs,wasn’t married,lived and sadly died alone, but one thing he did love was the freedom of his caravan holidays. He never got to enjoy his retirement sadly,but I hope your adventures in the world have encouraged many to say Sod working for the corporate company let’s just live out life and do what we want with it. Good health and happiness to you both.❤

[@traceygriffiths8919]

I absolutely love you 2 .. your both so professional in what you do, also very genuine. I’m so happy you’re both enjoying India 🇮🇳 xx looking forward to your next trip.. lots of love and safe travels ❤

Thank you for your informative responses and updates! I missed the vlog for taking questions, but my main one is: what do you love most about each other? I adore you both and appreciate the uniqueness, the planning, and creativity you devote to your videos. India never fails to fascinate!

[@jackrolfson312]

Thank you for taking the time to answer all those questions. It was very informative. You guys always seem to be so positive, if life throws you a curveball you just seem to get through it, and onto your next adventure. You've really changed my attitude towards India and it's people. I've always had preconceived ideas, but you've totally changed all that. Thank you so much, be safe, I'm looking forward to your next video!

[@saneben9917]

To Jeanine and Liam, as someone who can't go out much due to chronic health reasons, I just really appreciate you sharing your travels with us. India has always fascinated me and I probably will never get the opportunity to visit it so for me your videos are the next best thing. I love that you include everything....your room, the food, the people you meet, the places you visit. You are such a lovely couple and I enjoy watching you enjoy your experiences. Stay safe but continue the fun with Pete. Love Pete, it's dangerous but Pete is brilliant. Ps I've also watched some of your videos with Morgan too. I am so glad you decided to repair him. Lots of love from Liverpool in blighty! Xx

[@onlyme2426]

Hey!! Hope you are doing great. Glad you are liking these videos.

[@sheilajoseph9953]

That was a good Q/A. Liam and Janine, just keep travelling as it brings you joy. When it no longer brings you joy that's the time to stop. In the meantime create a many memories as you can and have an awesome life. Love you both. ❤

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thanks, you too!

[@journeytakesatrip]

I think you should either bring Pete the rickshaw home with you or leave him in India to return to. Maybe do summer travels in Britain and Europe and winter in India, to have more adventures out there and for Janine to avoid the cold weather. Whatever you do don’t sell him, he’s part of the family now. I feel the cold like it’s painful too, like Janine does, and cold weather also makes me stressed. Luckily I have a good woodburner in my truck which always has a fire burning inside unless it’s warm enough weather without it, ie summer, well some of the British summer at least ! 😆 I’m loving watching all of your India travels and glad to hear that you’ve got no plans to leave anytime soon, I don’t want the India videos to end yet. 🛺🇮🇳🧘🏽

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you so much, love the idea and it's something we are definitely considering 😀

I love watching your videos and I can see how much effort goes into editing them (massive well done Janine) - you're both always upbeat, appreciative and kind, and you really deserve all the lovely things that happen to you - I've been to India many times and dearly love it (feels like my second home) and I completely resonate with your comments about constantly learning new things (and also that every journey takes hours...!) I do hope you'll manage to get to the beautiful Amma's ashram (Amritapuri Ashram) - Mataji is pure love ❤️ and gives the most incredible hugs 🙏

Hi we have been following you for the last 2 years through all your ups and downs. Following you in India bring back some great memories for me and the wife we have been to goa 13 times we use to go for 3 or 4 weeks for Christmas and new year . You are right all the places we have been in the world we would say the people are some of the friendly and generous and we always felt safe whatever the time of day or night . You will love goa . We haven't been abroad since covid hit us we have the Campervan and are planing a trip to France and Spain this year but watching u there might be another trip for Christmas to see all our goa friends.

[@sammurray1627]

I get the same thing in winter. It’s the cold, dry air and that causes the cough. I’d normally recommend a humidifier if it wouldn’t cause issues in Morgan. A cheap, but useful alternative would be a steam inhaler cup. I got one this year and it worked a treat.

I’m fascinated with anything India at the moment because I’m going in November. I find your easygoing, adventure seeking spirits lovely. FYI-I go to México every year and since I started taking acidophilus three times a day a week before leaving I haven’t gotten sick in 22 years. Before that I wouldn’t eat seafood, fruit, Street food. Now I eat it all and haven’t had a problem since.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

That's great to hear, I think eating prebiotic etc is a great thing to do, we did this before India. Plus eating Plant based as much as possible reduces risk of not getting sick

[@uthrasriram9386]

Just a word of caution: always eat in upmarket restaurants & drink bottled water. One simple trick to be safe. If you're opting for juices, ask for NO sugar & NO ice. Trust me, you DON'T want that ice. Happy travels!
