VAN LIFE TO THE ARCTIC- A DETOUR TO VALDEZ ALASKA [S7-E39]

[@davidwong9230]

The North Pacific Fur Fish…fur a few laughs. As for the photo with the polar bear, time to paws the video 🐻

[@seekingjoynow1722]

This video was fantastic. This could be on the Discovery channel. The views and human interest aspect made this so interesting. You two have a natural talent for telling a story. So glad you stopped in Valdez.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow, thank you! We loved it and sharing it with our friends was perfect xx

[@Cuernavacachica02]

Lol!! I loved this video too! I guess all people can choose how to pronounce the e name of their town, but nope the correct pronunciation would be Valdez! Lol

[@Aaron-P]

"EEEEZZZ!" 😆 Such a charming, rugged town! Mental note: needed or not, pop into Mark's garage to say hello and thank them for taking good care of our Chris & Marianne. So right about small town garages, Marianne. I have a theory: there are technicians and there are mechanics. A tech plugs your vehicle into the computer to ask it to tell them what's wrong, a mechanic takes all the symptoms and susses out the root of the issue. ❤️❤️😎👍xx

[@TREADtheglobe]

Oh they would love that !! We will be back again as we loved it soooo much so maybe we could do a TREAD tribe group tour ??? OMG that would be epic !! xx

[@joyceb5864]

I'm always amused at the differences in British & American pronunciation of words. For instance, we say the word jalapeno as ˌhäləˈpānyō, and the word fillet as fi-la. The stranger who told you how to say Valdez must have been equally amused. Safe travels, you, two. I enjoy your videos so much!!

[@StephenandSusan6557]

The shots of the bald eagles were fantastic. Thank you for showing us the beauty of this place.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sandy89107]

I love all the birds, but the eagles are a big treat to see. Only saw 1 in person my whole life 😍

[@shabbirjdana]

Valdez information was tremendous to hear of 1964 earth quake and water rise for a 100 feet high.thnx chris sir and marian mam.keep it up.and take care.

[@levinawalsh2015]

WOW!! Fantastic Guys👌. The Bald eagles Amazing 👍. Sad History with the Earthquake & Tsunami & I remember the Exxon Valdez. Thanks So Much.☘🥰.

[@pelinbulent4892]

Another amazing vlog- very professionally presented as usual. One of the reasons why I’ve followed you for two years is the fact that you respect every place you visit, huge respect for the towns and people and the fact you research the area you’re in. Amazing and so eye opening. I never knew how beautiful Alaska is and amazing. The history is interesting too. Thanks once again; look forward to more great videos xxx

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Pelin - we love travel and adventure and enjoy sharing it as we see it - we are super lucky and are grateful for that. Kind regards Marianne xx

[@janetmcfarlane2693]

Fascinating to see those eagles come in for the fish.

[@christinamann3640]

You guys are so joyful.

[@lindastrous5243]

Wonderful, beautiful, gorgeous, etc. thank you.

[@inekeroos9264]

Eating lots of Garlic is good against the mosquitos too!

[@Dstew57A]

Oh man this was so lovely. For those of us who may never get to some of these places, thank you…almost like being there..loved this Valdez video!

[@tkine97]

I live in Indiana, 60 y.o. and have never seen an eagle in the wild. Lucky you!

[@etheleklund3946]

Thank you so much for your video of Valdez. You showed Mother Nature’s favorite beauty!❤️

[@TREADtheglobe]

Glad you enjoyed it! We agree !! xx

[@tootz1950]

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow, thanks - it was one of our favourites too !

[@kathifoynm]

Those eagles and seagulls munching on fish remains made my day. Thanks for sharing your adventure in this gem of a community that has seen its share of hardships and glory.

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

The Eagles are awesome. 🦅

[@nickergun4943]

Hello Ambassadors Wow, what a fantastic scenery that was. I really enjoyed watching it. You guys always find unique attractions, they are all beautiful. Natural hazards in an excellent nature. 7-10 feet snow ❄️ Unbelievable. Thank you guys and we love you💗💗🇹🇷

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Nick - wow what a place !! We are enjoying the wilderness and meeting some great people here too - The winters would be tough though !! Love to the family xx

[@audramitchell9894]

There's nothing like a coastal town 🌹❤️🌹 There really interesting ❤️🌹❤️

[@bmarie8939]

Thank you for showing us how amazing Valdez is!! To be honest, I have been to Alaska but never been to Valdez and until your video, I associated Valdez with the massive oil spill that happened quite a few years ago.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Please do go if you are in Alaska ... we loved it 👍

[@sassycats2572]

This is a fun video, but you guys are ALWAYS FUN, thanks again. Would love a tour of your friends RV ??!

[@AvaQuinn]

[@debbiebaker6692]

I enjoy your videos so much. I live in San Antonio Texas. I started watching because I saw one titled something about the River Walk. I got hooked with that one. Thank you so much. And I pray for you to have safe travels

[@TREADtheglobe]

That is awesome!

[@dianeaishamonday9125]

oh yes, I was born in San Antonio and that's the video I started watching this channel on, too!

[@keithfenwick5502]

Thank you 🍀🍀👍🙏

[@christinamann3640]

The last time I walked into a museum recreation of an old timey homestead, I said to my friend, “the tiny house movement comes full circle.” 😁

[@TREADtheglobe]

So True !!

[@HannahJ]

I used to have a Fiat Seicento. My friend who was a mechanic said that it stood for Fix It Again Tony 😆😆😆

[@TREADtheglobe]

That is because he hadn't met Trudy !! She is now 18 yrs old with 109,000 miles on the clock and driven some of the most toe curling roads that most people / vehicles wouldn't tackle - she is epic and we are still waiting for FIAT to beg us to do a collab or sponsorship deal ..... 😂😂😂😂😂

Hi you 2 turkiye love you 2 xx

[@ValMacher]

Gorgeous video. The information regarding the tsunami was jarring. I live in the Midwest, and we hear so little about the Alaskan Earthquake in 1964 and I hadn't heard about Valdez. The photos from the last day are incredible, such blue skies!

[@gaynorevans2644]

Absolutely loved the video. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@easyneos]

perfect cut,thank you.

[@dilekbetts2680]

[@chrisfolkharmonicaplayer6292]

Valdez is a beautiful looking place. Our cruise ship didn't go there. But we visited other Alaskan coastal towns like Ketchikan , Juneau and Skagway.

[@billybraithwaite67]

Brilliant episode guys, really enjoyed that. Valdez is something special & seeing those Bald Eagles in close proximity is a moment yous won’t forget. Your enthusiasm warms the heart. Safe onward travels

[@jomcd2073]

Don't know if l will ever get to Alaska so thank you for showing me the beauty:)

[@TREADtheglobe]

You are welcome 🙌

[@kevinmcmuhammad4841]

As usual that was great, and very educational, I liked watching ice road truckers driving up and down in that area of the world, but it's also nice to see that land without any snow,

[@brianinbrisbane6632]

Thanks for the stories about Valdez; very interesting. Thanks too for your link and discount for motorhome insurance. We've just bought a 2005 Rapido and called up APlan who gave us a great quote.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Great stuff !! Have a fabulous trip 🌺

[@lynnbittner5190]

Epic video guys....thrilled to enjoy Valdez with you 🤩

[@donlop9103]

See eagles on California coast sometimes loved your tour of Valdez. Safe travels

[@lindawoody8501]

What a fun and lovely villages Valdez seems to be. I have never been to that part of Alaska. I really enjoy Alaska but have only been to that state 4 times and 3 of those visits were pretty much to the cruise ship ports trio of Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway. The other places were Talkeetna, Denali National Park, Whittier (not much there other than the dock and apartments for workers), and very briefly, Anchorage. Marks garage station in Valdez is a place I will remember. We may just visit with a van some day!

[@jenjenpinto431]

Absolutely beautiful. The perfect shot of the eagle landing. What a beautiful town and people. Seriously, I’m not sure why someone on Netflix or Natl Geographic has not contacted you to make a series. Much love to you. And Trudy is a beast! Btw you don’t need to be a mechanic to travel the world, you just need to meet great mechanics around the world. ❤️❤️❤️

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Jen - yep we are lucky to meet the best ones as we go 🌺🚐🙌

[@discoveringlockenest8420]

Wow! That was awesome! I have been to Alaska a few times but have never been able to experience all of this (Dwight at work)! But did experience the mosquitoes! 🤪 Thank you for sharing!
