😀 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.

Astoria - Oregan Chris and I both had very similar

Astoria - Oregan
Chris and I both had very similar and very different upbringings, and for him ‘The Goonies’ was a big thing !!
So when we found that it was filmed in Astoria and that we would be passing it by on our route … it was not even a discussion !!
We got to visit and film at the jail house, in the town, on the beach and we even filmed at the iconic rock place !! It is a very pretty and quaint town with painted wooden houses with porches and bug screen doors with swing seat chairs to sit outside and watch the world go by …
Seeing the Jeep from the movie parked outside the jailhouse / museum was great fun and Trudy looked great in the reflection 🚐🙌
If you have not seen this movie then you have not lived !! (Or been brought up in the 70s / 80’s). Chris would say it is a cult movie and a coming of age movie that helped shaped him, I just know that it brings laughter to him and all the (big and little) kids in our family !! So that is good enough for me !!
We hope you like the pics from our adventure. We love taking you with us and sign up to our YouTube and set the notification bell so you don’t miss the adventure!!

Oregan - Moolak beach
Heading North - I have found in life that water is my healing and restful place… so for these long drives, where better to stop off than this little spot on the side of the road, a lovely little cove with sandy beaches and rock pools.
We loved it so much that we stayed an extra day (or two) and ended up being joined by our friends and Tread tribe members Terry and Kathy …. We celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary and Chris and I celebrated Trudy getting to 100K !!
This sea air and a stroll on the beach is what it is all about … and we have to remind ourselves sometimes that our work balance needs addressing. But when I ended up getting drenched by a massive wave and laughing till I nearly fell over, it was great to have the camera to be able to film these moments to keep forever and share the fun bits.
We hope you like the pics from our adventure. We love taking you with us

California coast baby !! Who knew we would be snow

California coast baby !! Who knew we would be snow ball fighting in California? Then heading to its famous coastline. We had to find a spot to park and work - so why not here in Bodega Bay !!
The sound of seals barking and meeting up with some of our Tread tribe - yep the perfect pit stop !!
Our next pit stop was the Redwoods National Park -
World famous !! These strong, bold giants that are just glorious .... just letting enough light through to allow the imagination flow - fairies, unicorns or Sasquatch?! This magical forest is a cool and welcoming place to have a break and make some lunch ....
but keep an eye out for bears 🐻
Yep we are feeling the excitement building for this epic adventure and can not wait to share it with you !!
Thank you to Bita and Walter for joining us for a camp out and we hope to see you again !!

San Francisco Reaching the Golden Gate Bridge mea

San Francisco
Reaching the Golden Gate Bridge meant that we had actually driven from one side of the USA to the other ..... Yep we did it !!
An emotional and incredible feeling and achievement for Trudy and us !!
We still have a long way to get around the world ... but we could not help but feel proud of ourselves ...
Of course the bridge was covered in mist and it rained 🤣🤣 but WE had done it and the adventure and sights we had seen made this moment one that could not be ruined by mere rain after all we are British 🤣🙌🇬🇧🚐❤️
The adventures continue as we head to the land of the red giants 🌿

Yosemite National parks are the safest and most c

Yosemite
National parks are the safest and most common way for nature and man to meet safely. Here in the USA they are well organised and maintained with paths, roads and walkways to guide you to see the waterfalls, nature and rivers with a few chance encounters with some local wildlife.
We found a great park / camp spot for the night by the El Portal entrance and spent a couple of hours chilling by the fast flowing freezing cold water and dangled our feet in to reabsorb the moisture after the dryness of the drive across Utah and Nevada ...
We slept to the sound of the rushing water - which meant we had to get up in the night for a pee 🤣🤣
I also dropped one of our cameras in the park !! So we will be stopping to buy a new one on the way to San Francisco!!
Thank you so for joining us on the adventures, the story will be on YouTube soon ! Don’t forget to subscribe and click the notification bell so you don’t miss an episode !!
