😀 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.

Albuquerque is home to the biggest Gathering of Nations - and this gathering is like none we have ever experienced before!

Put this on your bucket list and make sure you watch the video to get a taster as it is epic!

Hey everyone
Lots of people have asked us our route whilst we are in the states and why are we travelling so fast. Remember we are driving around the world - UK - UK so we have a year to pass through North America before we ship on (we only have 10 months left) With so much we want to see and such long distances we HAVE to travel fast. So here is our ROUGH route - it is by no means exact but gives you a good idea. It's way over 14,000 miles and with at least 4 days a week dedicated to creating videos you can get an idea of the mission we have ahead. THANK YOU for your support and we look forward to sharing the ups and downs as we go

Tombstone Arizona
I never in a million years thought that one day I would be Sheriff of Tombstone?!
As an British middle aged adventure travel couple on a road trip that will see us drive across continents and time zones ... it turns out that Tombstone is a place We will remember forever !! So many fun people and so much laughter !!
We hope you enjoy the video as much as we did making it !! But be warned ...
The Lawmakers of Tombstone with have your photo on a wanted poster before you can say Boothill Graveyard !!
Also another great office view from Trudy - thank you for buying our sticker packs !!

White Sands NP / BLM park up
Getting off the interstate and finding unusual places with the help of our fabulous community has meant that we have been to some new places in New Mexico and Arizona!!
We started off on Apache land, ended up at Mad Jacks - then off to a national park that is SO white we had to put on the sunglasses to deal with the glare!!
Ending our time on some spectacular wild camping land - BLM (Bureau of Land Management) before waking up and heading off to Tombstone !! We can’t wait to share this with you !!

Roswell - New Mexico To believe or not to believe

Roswell - New Mexico
To believe or not to believe this is the question !!
(There are no right answers by the way !! LOL)
Video out now !
We love going off to explore and experience new things and ROSWELL is a new one on us !! Little green men, alien eyes in the lamp posts, tourist selfie shops to have some selfie fun, and the only McDonalds in the world with a space ship attached !! LOL
If you don’t have a sense of humour or get in touch with the sci-fi geek within …. This is not the place for you !!
But we also had a chance to meet new people, visit some local coffee / eateries and meet Tanna and her family who run a homemade organic soap shop.
And Panda Express - great food too
Thank you everyone in Roswell who gave us such a fun time and welcomed us with alien love and big smiles!!
