We’re Marianne and Chris, a married couple from the UK. After some life changing events we decided that life was just too short. We sold all our belongings, bought an old Campervan & rented our house to travel full time. The aim is to attempt to visit every country in the world in either our van or with a backpack. We started videoing our travels for our family and then decided it was a wonderful way to document and share our adventures.
Our latest adventure started in January 2020 when we left the UK in an attempt to drive our van all the way around the world. Let the adventures continue.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Want to start van life yourself the to potentially win your own Sprinter Van and support a great cause go to omaze.com/TTG Maybe we'll see you on the road. Marianne and Chris xx

[@damianhellson9651]

I owned a 2016 Sprinter van Diesel big headache with a lot of bells and whistles the maintenance cost very expensive ,I will not recommend it. Mercedes Benz is not what used to be period.

[@erselcakir]

Huge thanks to Levent. The beauty of his heart reflected in his face.

[@nurdandemis7875]

You are the real hero 🥳

[@TREADtheglobe]

Once we have completed this challenge - I think we will be back to Dalyan and we can all have a big party to celebrate the success of this adventure - the dream will go on thanks to the support of you, Levent and the TREAD team (of which you are the SEO !! LOL) 💐💜🙌 Thank you for your friendship xx And your comment is true his face shows how kind he is xx

[@york8100]

Well done Ersel and Levent. Turk misafirperverligi iste 👍😂👏👏

[@alanchadwick2646]

Turks are such cool people

[@munirenilson3621]

Thumbs up for Ersel And Levent !!!!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Woo Hoo !!

[@mickandtrudie]

And that’s why you look after the passports hey Chris - can’t believe Marianne forgot the paperwork after our conversation the night before!! 🤣🙋‍♀️🤠🥰

[@ahmedalshalchi]

Do you believe someone is going to customs department and without the papers ??... What is he/she doing there essentially ??

[@izzzzzzzzzzy12]

Respect to my Turkish people you make me proud of being Turkish one love

[@aliciaspeight9452]

I think the Turkish government should give you rights to enter and leave Turkey for life. For all you have done for the businesses, tourism and the people. Due to your portrayal of this lovely country more and more people want to go there when things improve 🚐🇹🇷❤️

[@lucilamadden5235]

Yes I have love what I have seen in their show can’t wait to go!!!!

[@aliciaspeight9452]

@@lucilamadden5235 I have been once in 2016, it was my only time abroad and I'm now 51. It was brilliant, so relaxing. I intend to go back when it's safe

[@ahmetyapc7748]

Ersel and Levent, you legends 👍. So many wonderful, amazing people you have met along your travels. So glad Trudy all good for next 12 months, fingers crossed the seat is better for Chris once fitted. All things are possible in Turkey! Oddly enough I saw a video from the mamuchos the other day for first time so good to see them in Dalyan with you. Safe travels and looking forward to next Wednesdays video already (no pressure 😉😀)

[@TREADtheglobe]

Another wonderful Video, thank you for sharing. Have you tried Pide from The Firat Restaurant. It’s a little GEM! just off the Main Street in Dalyan, near the Post office. Lots of the bigger Restaurants get there Pide and Pizza from them. Of all the Pide I have had through the years theirs is definitely one of the Best!! Happy Travels, Stay Safe.

Been binge watching your whole Turkish adventures.. Brilliant stuff. Missing my holidays in Marmaris due to covid last year and a recent illness. Hopefully get back to my second home later this year. The Turkish hospitality is second to none... x

[@ferrumf1]

My God, my @ The Mamuchos and you are together 😍 I was thinking, how nice it would be if they met while they were both in Dalyan, I think my heart is clear, I'm so glad 👏🏻👏🏻 And for Trudy, I'll say, "I told you so." 😂😂😂

[@mesutozsen903]

thanks so much marrianne and chris very nice vlog good luck....

[@theresaboothby8693]

I had to put in an entry! My poor hybrid travel trailer has a leak causing a soft spot in the floor. She's going to need a serious overhaul that I'm not able to do myself. My next adventure mobile is going to be a camper van or motor home. How amazing would that sprinter be? Haha, I'm not usually that lucky. But it's for a good cause. Thanks, as always for taking us along for the ride. Safe travels.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Woo Hoo - meet up on the road with our vans !! YES !!

The occupational hazards of being a tortoise! 😆 Made me imagine chatting up someone on a plane or some such: "What do you do for work?" "Oh, I'm a tortoise." "Goodness, such a dangerous job!" Mrs. P. would *happily* purchase a TtG mug! Congrats on getting Trudy's visa sorted! What a relief! Plan D is a scary alternative. 😳😬 Looking forward to seeing how the passenger seat adjustments turn out. 🤞🤞❤😎👍xx

Thank you both ... yep, it is no fun being slow on a fast road for sure !! Tell Mrs P she is going to love the new website ... should be finished by the weekend ... !! Woo Hoo xx

Glad you found a solution for your front seat . I got to thinking my idea of swapping front seats wouldn’t have worked because of the seatbelts.

Hey guys...great news you can keep Trudy in Turkey until next year..btw, after that could you bring Trudy back again or is 2 years the maximum.

[@TREADtheglobe]

It is 2 years max and then she has to leave for 6 months (or be held in customs for 6 months) and then she can come back 👍
