😀 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.

[@annrimmington8690]

I’m not able to do what you guys do but I lost my husband 2 years ago after a short but horrendous illness so I bought a tiny van and I take myself off and have mini adventures, so good for the soul. Love that you are bringing the big adventures to us all. Stay safe and well, your happiness shines through ❤️

[@LValways]

I've discovered your channel recently. Can't stop watching. It's like virtually traveling along with you guys.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@OldEarthWisdom]

I left van life and moved to Crucecita, Mexico 2 years ago. 9 bays and 36 beaches surrounded by national rainforest AND our town is powered by all renewable energy and all the water is cleaned before it is returned to the ocean. Crocodiles in the river and bio lumination tides are best seen when there is no moon AND we released more than 4 million turtles back into the ocean this year. The largest release in the world. Maybe you will take the ferry over to the mainland of Mexico and come down the coast before you head to Guatemala!!!!

[@bccochrane1]

Sounds like a great place doing great things :)

[@ct1216]

How much is the rent of a decent condo apartment ? I have stable income 3000 Euros. I am planning to move to Mexico too.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow - sounds epic !! We are not heading over on this adventure as we are driving around the world and shipping to Japan next - but when we do the Alaska Argentina trip - we will do that !! 💚😍

[@roxannepearn9956]

This video was just beautiful and, inspirational and really resonated with me. In 2018 age 65 I started feeling there should be something more to this retirement thing..so I sold all my belongings, gave up my apartment and bought a mini van to travel in...solo with just my dog!. I lived in it for a year and a half criss crossing the US..then Covid😞 I set up a sticks and bricks basecamp here in Canada and intend to head out again as soon as the weather breaks in the spring. I just turned 70 and am very fortunate to be in excellent health..but the cruel irony of aging is how quickly time passes. I think one of the reasons I love being out on the open road so much is the sense it gives you of time being suspended..actually slowing down. Perhaps it's because there are no schedules, apointments or dates to measure our fleeting days by..nothing to tether us to the illusion of time. I do think one of the gravest mistakes so many people make is they think they have 'time' and put off doing things til later or when the time is perfect..like you said Chris..well time waits for no one..and I have found it is how we spend our days now in the present time, taking chances, chasing our dreams and fulfilling our bucket list to be the key to fulfillment and happiness. It's about the experiences.These are the days of our lives and like Jack Kerouac said.."climb that God damn mountain!"

Marianne and Chris, First and foremost let us say Thank You for wonderful content and a weekly escape for me (Stan) to watch your adventures. This latest installment has hit home and I want to express my true appreciation for the message contained in it. My wife was recently diagnosed with a 5cm tumor in her pelvis and it is causing her much pain. Initial diagnosis gave a bleak outlook. We had weeks of uncertainty. Thankfully on Thursday of this last week we received some positive news that the original diagnosis may have been overly aggressive. We are certainly not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination, but things look more hopeful. Your video today was very impactful to us personally and served to reinforce our bond with each other. When and if we move beyond this we will certainly drink the champagne! There will be an expensive bottle of wine corked tonight for sure. And I'm hoping it is over Whataburger. You guys are great! Keep it up! Stan and Missy / Central Texas

[@TREADtheglobe]

[@SmallHomeBigGarden]

Carpé Diem!!! I hear similar stories from so many fellow vanlifers on my travels. My own "wake up" was in 2013, when my late wife got a terminal cancer diag out of the blue unexpected. "Not going home and waiting for the grim reaper", she said. I saw our almost new motorhome on a forecourt the next day, showed it to her and off we went weekends at first and fulltime, when I took early retirement. Know what? They gave her 6 months but she lasted over 3 years travelling.... out in van 2 weeks before she finally passed away. - On my own since 2016 now, but she'll be spiritual copilot still, if I ever get back over to N America. - Oh that bubbly would NOT have lasted if my wife had got near it. Love the turtles.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow wow wow - thank you for sharing 🌺🙌 she sounds just like my sister - a real zest for life 🙏 _ Marianne xx

[@simoneicardi3967]

Hola guys! Very touching episode. I'd say that fortunately, I had this approach about life from a fairly young age. So I promised to myself that I would find a way to balance my life and adapt my work to it ,and not the other way around. It worked well so far, from about 15 year now. And still is, now that I just turned 47. I was not lucky enough to find a partner matching for my life style so far, that could be nice, but I can't complain. At the moment I have so many problems with my van, and it's not so sure it'll be possible to fixed it. So I'm temporarly stuck, altougth I live in a mountain resort in the Alps that is not bad at all, but in the waiting I'm studying a potential way to have a new Van, just in case. Wish me luk! Love from Italy! p.s.: sorry for my broken english ;-)

[@tiblanes]

I absolutely loved this episode. Thank you for sharing your personal experience of why you decided to “Tread the Globe”. It’s so true: if we wait too long, it might be too late.

[@onwardbound]

As I sit here thoroughly enjoying your video and readying myself to get back to work completing my bus conversion, I am reminded, yet again, that I am doing exactly the right thing! We are never promised tomorrow - I plan to take how ever many more days I have and live life to the fullest! Thanks for the reminder and an absolutely stunning video. 🥰

Here’s my Japan tips: Kyoto: go to any shrine and do the ritual hand-washing. Find the parks and just walk around. Osaka: Osaka Castle is great, and the Aquarium is spectacular. Tip: In cities, the large grocery stores are on the basement level of big department stores.

Loved this. Love a good tick off the bucket list. Seen a few natural wonders and man made, Monument Valley, Niagra Falls. Grand Canyon, lucky for us in our 30's. Been in a hot air balloon, and lots of other exciting things. We love our holidays and weekends exploring the great outdoors. Can't sit and watch box sets. Back in the day of travel agents we were told we eat islands, hehe, cant sit still, have to see whats out there. Ice cream, has to be salted caramel, yummy. Take care. X

Terrifying sauce hahaha made me laugh. I started following you guys just before I did the three months in Turkey ( I think you guys were still there then as well) amazing place. Once Thailand finally opened, I awaited the Philippines to open again and I have been here about a year now since. I forgot about your vlogs and was great to see them again today. I did some car camping/tent camping in the Philippines, maybe one of the very few foreigners to do so. Camping the old fashioned way is starting to take off a bit here now though.. Keep up the great work, your edits are really looking good. Cheers!!

That is the very reason we are, at 67 and 69, traveling a lot. Since we got married 8 years ago, second and third time in my case, we travelled every single year, sometimes twice(mostly Europe and Turkiye). We took big tours in the countries, mostly discovering the history and this year we are going to France for almost a month. I love your stories and congratulate you on your bravery. I have been following your for years. Hugs.

Wow! Profound thought provoking words, as we’re advancing in years it truly focuses the awareness on what’s truly important in this fleeting experience we call life and if we even live to 100 it’s still very brief in the grand scheme of things, sometimes this takes too long to realise that we’re all living through the sands of time and we must embrace every living moment. Safe travels🙏

Thank you. Your videos are normally one of my vicarious forms of escape on a Sunday. This one however, was truly inspirational. I loved your philosophy here.

We spent hours there. The floors sing as you walk through it! I kid you not. The gardens were amazing and it was worth the entrance fee.

Love your vids and really looking forward to your Japan travels. Just got back from my 'bucket list' trip to Japan (I'm a cancer survivor) and loved every single second of it. Fujisan was beautiful, spent a lot of time staring at her. The Jigokudani Monkey Park (monkeys in a hot tub ) was fun but very busy, so the earlier the better. Stayed in a few traditional Ryokans which was a fab experience, tatami mat floors and futons (even with arthritis and a knackered back). Hiroshima was very moving but also a lovely chill city (head to the Okonomimura for Hiroshima style okonomiyaki). Miyajima Island is so pretty, Mount Misen (cable cars up to the top if you dont fancy the walk) and cute deer. Takayama in the alps is also a very chill city/town, quite 'olde worlde' Japan on one side of the river. Nara park and temple for the bowing deer. Sakurajima island to see the volcano (Kagoshima at the bottom of Kyushu). I didn't fancy getting naked in a public onsen but I managed to do two private ones ..... very hot, came out looking like a lobster, defo worth a go (unless blood pressure problems). So many more places I would love to see over there, may have to do a second bucket list trip but get a car next time. Thanks for the fab content and continue to enjoy your epic travels x😘

Great video as usual, but that's Don Henley (not Healey, ex of The Eagles) Chris. One of his biggest hits, long before "Boys of Summer" was "Dirty Laundry". A possible anthem for all Vanlifers, but actually a protest song about the misuse of power by the News Media, particularly regarding celebrities. A classic from 1982, a relatively innocent time compared to today's widely varying Medias.
