Visit Scotland in the summer when it's warmer and the Edinburgh fringe festival is on

[@Darryls_World]

I live in South Florida and Orlando. I find your vlogs exploring your country fascinating. What you guys probably take for granted I find very interesting.

[@gilscot100]

Happy New Year! December was so busy for me that I fell way behind on the videos but finally caught up now. Thank you so much for all the hours of watching. The van is looking so good - I have been so invested in the conversion. I loved all the family videos. Stacey and Peter’s visit was epic - UK weather at its best. Love you guys ♥️❤️♥️

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Happy new year! Thanks so much for watching ❤️

[@robertmartin2280]

Just watched the Q and A and found it very interesting. If I had asked a question it would have been what was the highlight of 2023. For me the most memorable and being a Florida worshipper was at the end of the vlog when you were both thinking of what would be happening at that time and nick snapped his fingers that was memorable for me and thanks for that. Thanks as always Robert M

[@lesleybenson8794]

I like the day to day vlogs just as much as the travel vlogs. The day to day vlogs , as you say, keeps it real which for me keeps me sane. Sometimes, I overthink things and your day to day lives shows it as life is. The travel vlogs give me ideas and info which I love. Keep it real guys, you are doing great.

[@Chrissyhappy]

I enjoy at home vlogs as much as the travel ones. It’s a nice mix.😊

[@thelmabrindley2369]

Thoroughly interesting vlog. Grindlewald and the Bernese Oberland is a truly stunning area to visit. Also along the Rhine in Germany. Having said that, I also love seeing Yorkshire, such a beautiful place to visit

[@Wethreetravelers]

Hey guys, great vlog , loved this. We love your channel and loved hearing you go through your life, experiences and future inuch more depth, we love how you both see life, very brave and vibrant. We love your day to day life but have also used your vlogs for so much helpful advice for our own holidays, especially for my first time driving in America (i thought if Leigh can do it so can i lol, sorry Leigh) really cant wait for the European van trip (i used to be a caravana lol) but also cant wait to see more trips around England. I know you dont follow or watch many other vloggers and i am sure you get asked many times to watch them, but i think you said you recently came to suffolk, i have just done a short video on our vlogging channel of some great drone footage of our local coastal area and historic sites in Suffolk, this is the first part of a few to come, its a beautiful area with so much history. I hope you might like to have a quick peek? And if you pop down this way, i can teach you how to make a Roux for a propper sauce lol. Or take you to our local prison where the Murderers will cook your breakfast lol. youtube.com/@Wethreetravelers?si=ex4HKLdkQjPmCgKQ Cheers and cant wait to see so much more from you. Xx

[@1961waw]

You know what. You said you don’t understand why we want to watch the day to day stuff. It’s the relationship between you two. It’s very lovely and natural. You’re both natural and for me that’s what I love watching. I’m in Yorkshire so can relate to your area. I love how you keep getting your ‘snacks’. Keep doing the same. It doesn’t get boring in the slightest 😊 xx

[@ilsehunt6798]

I will miss the Disney trips as they are my favourite vlogs and one with friends and family ! Fingers crossed your van vlogs bring you more subscribers! I love Yosemite in January up at baders pass sledging ! It’s great up there !

[@joellesmith80]

I love all of your vlogs (day to day, FL, Disney, Van) but I am super excited to watch you guys explore the UK & Europe because I like to travel to those locations as well! Grindelwald is amazing! And Lake Como & Lake Garda are awesome! Can’t wait for the European van tour ❤ Nick, take Leigh to Scotland-it’s incredible! I’m in Jackson Hole now & it is like being in a snow globe. You would love it!

[@lisaw7045]

I can't wait for the time lapse video!! That will be so cool. I have really enjoyed the build. 😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

now we need to do all the externals

[@stephencoutu2674]

I love that you guys are spontaneous and live life as an adventure! Who can really PLAN life, that's a myth!

[@stevenpluff6481]

I haven't been to Switzerland since 1983. Been to Bern, Interlaken, Lucerne, and Meiringen. Love these Q&A vlogs.

[@heatherdraycott3402]

You 2 make me laugh how you bounce off each other ,with the Q& A ,n I don't think you both realise how you both twiddle with your rings 😂 it's so cute ,keep being you ,n what ever comes along in life you'll keep us all entertained with the up coming vlogs with whatever you decide to do ❤

[@NIIICKII]

My fave vlogs are the lodge, your family, days out, and of course Taylor. I'm not into Disney vlogs but I watch coz i love you both, you've filled voids in my life. Thankyou ❤❤

[@TheLodgeGuys]

we try to do something for everyone xx

[@NIIICKII]

@@TheLodgeGuys And you do it very well xx

[@Chrissyhappy]

I like Drew builds stuff too. He’s so inventive!😊

[@nicolaward1034]

Grindelwald in Switzerland is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been 😍 We stayed in Interlaken and explored the Jungfrau Region & it is truly stunning. We have booked to go back in July this year & explore some more in the summer rather than the winter, but that was amazing too, lots of snow ❄️ Great vlog xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

can't wait

[@stpetefl]

Thanks for answering my question Guys! ❤️☀️😎

[@lunacampello]

Great vlog as always xx we are so excited that you are coming to the Netherlands and you are going to LOVE the Efteling ! We are so proud of our park and it is so much more magical as Disney, as it hasn’t forgotten how it began and keeping it magical. The p&o crossing hull to Rotterdam is fantastic! Leave 20:00 arrive 08:00. Phantasialand is also wonderful. If you have time plan a day at Toverland. It’s still in the NL but in the way to Phantasialand. It’s well worth the visit! Love how you guys are always so open and honest and real xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

handy to know thanks xx

[@suelake2909]

We lived in Germany for a few years and would visit Phantasialand so many times it was brilliant well worth a visit

[@CashStuffWithKristine]

Make sure you go to Inverness, specifically rosemarkie it’s THE most beautiful place and dolphins come in almost every single day 🥰 everyone I have recommended it to have always come back and told me how much they loved it (plus don’t skip Black Isle brewery on the road from Inverness to rosemarkie

[@Rachel-us7qs]

Little security tip I heard when your sleeping in the van is to feed the seat belts through the door handle before you lock it in to stop the doors being opened xx

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks for the tip 👍

[@dianeprice5798]

Hiya guys, thanks for sharing your answers and I love watching your vlogs, your really nice guys and have a great day 🤗

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you! You too!

[@sue6083]

We’ve used ba many times with no problems plus their holiday packages are often great value 😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

👍❤️

[@normaduffus9755]

Put some sort of hooks in the front cab or the shower to hang your jackets when it’s been raining.

[@davehislop5546]

I watch every vlog no matter what it is. Some people will, some won’t but that’s life! Loving the van build myself although I found the channel for Disney

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoy all the vlogs ❤️

[@kathtrevains860]

I’m a Cornish maid, glad you love Cornwall. Please look into Le Puy du Fou in France, no rides, but fantastically themed shows, I think you’d be impressed.

[@janetstevenson3954]

Great vlog as always 👍 guys 🤗 Glasgow Edinburgh are patiently waiting on you both 🤗🤗 hoping to get to meet you 🤞…..we just missed you in Florida MK in Sept/Oct last year 😢

[@TheLodgeGuys]

One day we will get there 🤞❤️

[@JIMMYCFC]

Ooh can't wait till u go to grindelwald in Switzerland it looks amazing especially at Christmas but still stunning in summertime.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

looks amazing

[@Traash38]

Loved the Q&A. Looking forward to your van life videos. Is there a reason you put the music over the top of your vlogs when you are talking? I find it really off putting. That’s probably just me and my Misophonia though! LOL

[@brooklynleigh1]

Watching you two bounce off each other and go off on tangents gives so much insight to how you work together and make your plans. I loved every minute of it! 😊 So when are you coming to Australia?! 😁

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Australia has lots of spiders 😭

[@JennyS54]

@@TheLodgeGuys, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, we don’t actually❤❤

[@TheSarahElm]

Thank you both for answering my question!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Our pleasure!

[@jpcleric5973]

I found your vlog when I discovered disney vlogs as wanted to go since I was little. I've lived in Cornwall for over 10 years and I tell anyone who wants to move here, is come stay in winter and research. See if you like it as it can be a quiet ghost town in places. I mean really quiet. Feb and July are like different worlds

[@TheLodgeGuys]

👍

[@user-ch9if6px6r]

I watch you for the UK vlogs. I use to watch the silver foxes on their narrowboat but they sold it. Shetland and Orkney with the van.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks for watching. We used to watch foxes afloat also from time to time

[@natashagreen8136]

Efftiling is amazing haha go to the alps/ Switzerland in the summer time it’s beautiful. Some beautiful places in Holland/germany too ☺️

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Can't wait to see it all 👍❤️

[@lesliereynolds4492]

Maybe you should watch Tim Trackers recent post on a RV Show. One had a frig drawer on the outside under it. There were some good ideas in the vlog.

[@carolinevercoe9524]

I think you should come to run to the sun in Cornwall in May its held in Newquay, there are loads of vw campers and cars , we live about 10 to 15 minutes away from Newquay and they have to pass near us ,its great watching

[@TheLodgeGuys]

yes yes yes

[@janetovens756]

I love your vlogs especially the UK ones because you see a human perspective of places you've heard of but never visited. The one place I love but sadly since my mum is no longer able to travel is Jersey. That is one place you wouldn't want to take Taylor to as the roads and lanes are pretty narrow

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoy the vlogs

[@valerielawley8477]

Love these sort of vlogs 😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you like them!

[@markiereeds]

My dream is to live in a lodge with my family. So watching you is like putting it out into the universe to attract it for myself.

[@markiereeds]

But I'm also a Disney fan, and can't wait for van life 😂

[@jck-law]

Nick please please try the NC500 it's our version of Route 66 ..... You will love it!!! Especially in Taylor!! Xx

[@annieo6806]

Absolutely love watching your videos! Cracking up at Nicks comments about Madonna!😂😂

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you like them! ❤️

[@lesliereynolds4492]

I would like to see a really good vlog on Blackpool. I didn’t know about it when I lived there in London along time ago but saw it in a movie. I know the Bassas went there but didn’t show enough.

[@smithy0981]

Hey guys, im addicted to this channel, great way to spend cold winter weekends! Can I ask what software you use to edit on?

[@TravellingMagical]

You guys should do the UK version of the route 66 called The North Coast 500 and also UK film locations like the Harry Potter train viaduct in the van

[@lougt4083]

For the curtains maybe something like the principal sliding bathroom door (I think it consatinas) but only have a track at the top?

[@TheLodgeGuys]

thanks X

[@cathyhydephotography]

Haven't seen it but the Jonny Vegas program carry on Glamping looks like a good watch.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks. Will take a look 👍

[@lyndseyallison5489]

Thorpe park is pretty good in London, it is more themed than Alton towers for sure

[@rachel_roams2024]

The violin music was so great 😂😂😂😂😂

[@JimmyGrimbleRB]

Have you ever been to beamish near durham? I think you guys would love it!

[@tallactordude]

For what it’s worth, in the US the leaves of the plant are called cilantro, but the seeds, including when they are ground up, are called coriander. And I think in the UK, you call both the leaves and the seeds coriander.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

yes we do

[@susanchlad8526]

Love you two wish you lived next door x😊

🥰🥰

[@margaretalletson84]

Love this type of vlog..

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@leeelvidge8844]

I personally find your UK flogs amazing, I came across you in 2018 when researching a Pathos Hotel, the vlogs that you think are boring to people are probably the most interesting, just normal people living their best life, I find it very inspirational.

[@tinamurphy1263]

Snap. That is how I came to start watching and have been hooked ever since. I think they are so much more enjoyable to watch than most things on TV.

[@davemulready]

Nice One Guys .

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you 🙌

[@kevoleary8868]

Get yourselves to Florida in September and you could meet me 😂

[@Janeywaney78]

Universal studies have bought a massive piece of land in Bedfordshire? I think and are hopefully building a UK universal studios!! Harry Potter, James Bond rides, etc.. But it won't be built for another 5-6yrs..

I can't see it happening

@@TheLodgeGuys thanks guys just watching your 23 Florida vlogs and you guys are the best

[@stephencoutu2674]

I also love how-to videos on KZbin.

[@stephencoutu2674]

That would totally exhaust me to watch a time-lapse video of you guys remodeling the entire van. LOL

[@mfoth20]

I agree . We've already watched it ha ha

[@joanconnolly5299]

I've been to florida from Dublin travelling British Airways and honestly you have to breathe in to sit in the seats. Been to US 13 times and would never travel BA again.

I knew Nick was having a mid-life crisis and would need to start a new project to keep his mind moist! LOL Love you guys!

What about a roap trip around Scotland, Ireland and Wales x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Hoping to do all of them at some point ❤️🤞

You pronounce it well ( de Efteling } 👍🏻👍🏻

Would you ever go to Canada. Xx

[@pablomufc8595]

Sad that you’re feeling ‘floridad out’ but guess it’s to be expected the amount of times you’ve been since Covid.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Still got one florida trip planned this year 🌴👍

[@karendowney3271]

I’m disappointed Nick, I think you have the wrong perception of Scotland, it’s not as cold as you think. You should try it, you might surprise yourself. It has beautiful scenery, a LOT of history and great walks. If you come to Dumfries we’ll even buy you a gin 😊 x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

I've been 3 times and it's been grim and cold each time :)

[@susanhunt5944]

Do you keep in touch with Sazzle? (Not sure if that is how she spell her name)

[@TheLodgeGuys]

From time to time yes.

[@danielf8592]

Hey just curious, are things ok between you and Charlotte? After that one trip we don’t hear you talk about her or see her in any videos. Big fan of your channel btw 😊

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Hey. yeah we chat to her from time to time. Not as much as we did in lockdown as everyone was more free to chat. She was in more than that one trip. She walked snowden with us and we saw her in Bath. Hopefully may get ot see her again on our uk van tours this year

[@danielf8592]

Awesome. And yes I forgot I did see her. My wife and I were watching your last video and when it ended it played one of your older Disney world videos where charlotte had a surprise visit and I was thinking haven’t seen her in a while. Also wanted to say congratulations on the van. Looks wonderful. Wish you many pleasant trips/memories in the future

[@normalincoln8502]

My question is, Why did you choose to buy a Van and make it into a camper Van other than buying a camper Van straight out.

[@NIIICKII]

You can make it your own if you buy a van and fit it out how you want it.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

yes cost to buy one your talking 60k to build one it's as much as you want to spend

[@normaduffus9755]

A barge would move too slow for Nick 😂

Nick tell Leigh that I think he has a great body and yes I have great eyesight

Whatever happened to your friend in florida Chris I think his name was the guy with the hair 😁. If you've fallen out or something just ignore this question.

[@AdeandLisa]

Bit disappointed to be honest. You didn't answer either of my questions.🤔 I have another question now though, if you sell the lodge and get a boat, will you change your name to 'the boat guys'???

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Your questionnis in part two. Well the one we could read out that it. The filthy ones we left out 😂
