😀 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.

Rule #1 Do Not Drive at Night.

Extremely interesting seeing California High Desert countryside through British eyes.

[@idabustamante7081]

Triple Wowser for the sunset, dreamy & delightful. WooHa makin it to Mexico.

[@peri3818]

Paused the video to let you know it was a coyote you saw. You will see lots of them in California, even roaming urban areas. Usually come out at night in urban areas. I think you would like stopping in San Diego. Going bike riding along the Pacific Ocean. Have to get back to the video now to see what happened in Mexico. The suspense is killing me! (expression in the States)

Great timing going into Ensenada, w/ that sunset. If you later go north back into California, above/beyond a mountain pass just-north of LA, the 5 and 99 highways split. Take the 99 to Visalia and go east, to the General Sherman Sequoia tree. The girth & height of these trees makes you feel like an ant. Oldest tress in the entire world (or USA). God-bless, you seem to represent the Brits quite well.

I've been to Baja California many times and throughout Mexico in 1960 and 1968 on camping road trips with occasional stops at hotels. Dad loved Mexico. We went in 1968 to see the Mexico City Olympic Games which was tons of fun - we stayed in family truck cab-over camper in an RV park. All over we stayed in parks, on beaches and only had a few minor hiccups - glad Dad had insurance and spoke Spanish well enough to be fine with various officials.

Sorry you guys got hassle at the Mexican border at least you’re through now Best wishes from County Wexford Ireland 🇮🇪

The Rain For Rent part gave me a chuckle! They truck in tankers full of water usually to construction sites to spray for dust management.

[@artcpa23]

Welcome to my home State of California!!!!

[@angelalocke7340]

[@colleenmonell1601]
