Antakya - Turkey (Türkiye) Food has always been

Antakya - Turkey (Türkiye)
Food has always been a massive part of our adventures and experiences, after all Chris worked in Catering, Hotels and hospitality for all of his career before we started TTG. So coming to the province of Hatay and visiting Antakya which is famous for some of the most wonderful foods including kunefe, Baklasi and hummus! Whilst on this road trip at the end of last year with our friends @OverlandingSophia we made some great videos for our retrospective YouTube Channels. Food, drink, mosaics and wonderful park ups! We have just a few more videos to edit and share of our time in Turkey (Türkiye - in Turkish) and we have saved the best for last! You will be shocked and stunned at the diversity and beauty we saw, so check out the video now! If you have not subscribed to our channel yet please do to and in the next video coming soon we unintentionally became guests at a funeral! If you want to know more about TREAD the Globe?

The Reality of Social Media We love sharing our ad

The Reality of Social Media
We love sharing our adventures and travels, but today I am sharing something a little different and for those of you following TREAD the Globe and who love that we share real van life !! We are on our journey and that is real - but whilst Trudy is getting fixed, we are currently staying with family in the UK, we are releasing the last of our videos on our awesome adventure in Turkey, and if you know anything about editing, you will understand why!! It takes time to create and share these adventures - we don’t have a scriptwriter, editor, researcher, director, chef, travel planner …. The list goes on !! We are all of those !! So there are times when we stop, to catch up with producing these adventures, and we planned the Christmas holidays and before shipping to the USA as a great time to do that. But here is where it gets real - whilst here in the UK, Chris ended up in A+E on Monday night and without going into the messy details, ended up in late night surgery for an Umbilical Hernia. He has been told not to lift, carry or go jogging!! But he is fine and we feel really lucky to be able to stay with family whilst he recovers, and after just a few days he is back to editing LOL. Thank you for all of the kind messages - he is feeling the love ❤️ I have to ask you #realvanlife ?? The meaning ?? For us real van life is being on an adventure in a van / Moho or any other vehicle - whether it is weekend, life or just a day - Everyday is REAL! - that is actually everything that WE in the community believe in and Strive for - living your own dream without judgement ….. #lovenothate

Maintenance on the Road - Turkey Getting Trudy fi

Maintenance on the Road - Turkey Getting Trudy fixed up on the road is just part of the course. After all Trudy is not just our home, but also the way we are able to travel and earn an income. Generally we just visit a garage for a mechanical fix, but after the heavy hail storms we realised that having a leaky roof light was something we would have to tackle quickly! We came across Umitcan Karavan - Antalya, and after lots of google translate and asking our friend Erhan to translate - we hit jackpot !! They made us a new double layer roof light to measure and some new mosquito / blackout blinds for every window !! Woo Hoo !! We have said it before but the ingenuity and willingness to make something in Turkey blew us away - “Anything is possible in Turkey!” Soon became a catchphrase and what we found stand out was if you asked someone for help, and they could not do help you themselves, they would stay with you until they found someone who could !! This is something we find unique to countries that have time to talk, share bread, drink tea and that have not succumb to the throw away mentality that is directly responsible for most of the problems of the planet. When I say this - I am not flippantly throwing that out there, or trying to preach, but instead asking the question …… Where are the skilled people who fix things ? The people that fabricate and repair parts to stop us ordering a whole new item online that is shipped miles and miles and means we have to throw something almost perfect away - except for a latch or a small clip ? So if you need a clip or a latch in Turkey pop down to Umitcan Karavan and they will help you find someone who will make it !! PS they also have a few cats !

MOUNT NEMRUT - Turkey Burial sites are creepy rig

MOUNT NEMRUT - Turkey Burial sites are creepy right? Well this one is not only spectacular, but also has the most incredible 360 degree view !! With Iconic statues of Eagles, Lions, Kings and Gods. Being somewhere as dramatic and iconic as Mount Nemrut is way up there, not only literally but also when it comes to life experiences. If you know us and have been travelling with us for a while (of even since we started in 2018) you will know that we never, NEVER stop talking !! LOL - well this place had us silenced and not only due to the steep pathways we had to climb, but also due to the breathtaking vistas even from the car park! We are super grateful to all of our Tread team (that is you!) who told us that this place was a MUST visit and also to everyone for your fabulous support over the last year - It has been another fabulous year for us, and we are overwhelmed by the incredible messages and positive comments everyday. As always we share our content to hopefully inspire you to enjoy more travel and maybe even one day visit this incredible place, knowing the world is safe, people are kind, and we are all just living in hope of a better world. Be kind out there folks, and my tip to those who struggle to say something nice ….. or if you are about to start a sentence with “I don’t mean this in a bad way / judgemental way / patronising way …….. ”. DON’T SAY IT AT ALL !! LOL Happy New Year Everyone and we thank you again for all of your friendship, kindness, and here is to another year of laughter, fun, adventure and travel in Trudy !!

GOBEKLI TEPE - Turkey Don’t you just love a Myst

GOBEKLI TEPE - Turkey
Don’t you just love a Mystery ?!
This is us stood in front of an archeological dig that has changed the course of history - NO I SAID CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY !! If I said I loved history - I would be lying, it is such a big subject filled with horrors that mankind never seem to learn from - but to be able to visit and be present in a place that is literally filled with memories and artefacts that show the worship of the sun, the moon and everything in between ….. Well it was enough to blow my small mind !! I love to adventure though life enjoying and appreciating the people, lives, food and culture of all the places we visit, but this place is next level !! I was stood in awe as the movie in the visitor centre played and then we walked up to the site where they are digging - so far a 4 x football pitch sized area has been identified. The academics and clever historian people are working to uncover the mysteries that lay in this land !! But one thing is for sure - THIS PLACE HAS CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY !!
Love Marianne xx Our videos are a taster of these incredible places and we hope you enjoyed the video as much as we did making it!
