😀 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.

Have you ever been to Las Vegas what did you think of it ? Would you try and camp out near the wild Las Vegas strip for the night. Would love to hear your experience and thoughts below. It was an interesting 24 hours thats for sure! Thanks for spending part of your weekend with us. - Chris & Marianne xx
Ugly during the day....night life is good but it brings out crazy people
I'm so glad you got to check another item off your bucket list! I've been to Vegas numerous times, but never in a van or RV and can only imagine how difficult finding a place to park would be.
I love following you on your adventures and seeing things through your eyes. I can't wait to see where we're going next week!🥰
I was in Las Vegas with my brother on July 4th 1977. Everything looks so different now! Like a different city. We stayed in a motel on the outskirts of town. I am really enjoying seeing the world the eyes of you both. Teşekkür ederim.
I stayed in treasure Island x
We paid to stay in a hotel and parked our campervan in the car park. It was only about $50 for hotel but that was a few years ago.
I stayed 1 night - 1 night to many for me, left 7am the next morning and kept driving until I couldn't see it in my rear view mirror lol xx
I and a friend of mine took a trip to Vegas about 2 years ago our car was broken into in broad daylight . That left me with a bad taste in my mouth . Worse part was store employees and police were very uncooperative and discouraging.
The clouds you saw, over the mountains…they are called Standing Lenticular clouds - lenticular, for obvious reasons. 🙂 Safe travels!
So glad you saw all of these places! Hoover Dam is a treasure. The white on the rock cliffs of Lake Mead is the high water mark as the drought cause all that steady dramatic water loss in last decade. Rains in California and other Western places and more snow will help refill the lake somewhat. Las Vegas is fine but it has been 30+ years since the last time I was there.
That is fantastic you got to see a Circus Soleil show!
My nephew was actually a performer in Circus Soleil about 10yrs ago.
He was actually accepted to West Point after graduating, but he went to Last Vegas to seek employment at Circus Soleil ( without letting his Mom and Dad know) and then it became a family joke that, "He had past up a education to joined the Circus".
He had done Gymnastics since the age of three and his parents just thought of it as a hobby and a activity to occupy his after school time and keep him off the streets of L.A.
They never saw it coming, that he would end up in the Circus!
Brilliant video guys, we stayed in Vegas in 2018, drove to Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, etc, on our road trip. This video has brought back so many memories. I'm glad our fellow Telfordonians were blown away by Las Vegas ❤️🇬🇧👍
Woo Hoo !!
That white colored rock is where the water level has dropped over the last several years!!!
I’m soooooo thankful to be gone from Las Vegas. 2 years in that city almost killed me 😮
Yall entered vegas at the perfect time to see the lights
En nihayet ışıl ışıl bir şehir gördük, Laş Vegas'ı çok beğendim harikulade bir şehir, video harikaydı teşekkürler Marianne ve Chris.👍👍👍🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷👍👍👍
Have been to Vegas 3 times and have no desire to go back! Glad you had a wonderful experience!!!
In my travels of the US, I've never had a problem. Now in St. Louis the hotel told us it wasn't good to walk around at night but other than that I have never had a personal interaction we're I felt unsafe.
not much experience i with US cities, I don't like cities per se anywhere. We were warned in New Orleans of certain areas and in the French Quarters to walk on the side where there was no parking as nobody could jump on us! In the end, all was good and we were not accosted anywhere
WOW, the water level at Hover Dam is so low.
We drove the strip in our rental V10 motorhome in 1998, what a blast!
I have been to Reno for a few days and stayed at the Circus Circus Hotel, that was amazing! So hot even at night! 😁
I think the Cirque du Soleil is possibly THE circus to see, for people who think they don't like circuses! 🎉
If your still in town , you can park in front of our house, we're 10 minutes from the strip.
Thanks Tina - we have left now ... but that is very kind 🌷

Such an exciting episode. Thanks for showing us all those great places, and I'm so pleased you had a restful night in Las Vegas.
Agreed - I was hoping for more, there adventure is so exciting...
You missed the fantastic view you get by walking out on the road bridge, it's free and the view of the dam and surrounding areas is amazing.
So glad you were able to see a show in Vegas. The only reason I go there. I just googled where you can park in Vegas and not be a guest at the hotel. It said Circus Circus has free self parking for visitors who are not guests of the hotel. It named a few others and there is the Nevada rest area 27 miles from the strip. The truth, did you put a quarter in a slot machine?
Thanks for the info - no we didn't find any slot machines they are all credit cards now !!
Know what’s funny I got kicked out of that same OYO lot. Same for me I just thought it was a quiet little side lot; I couldn’t even finish my fast food before someone told me to leave haha
Glad you guys had a great experience in town, wish I could’ve bumped into ya! 😁👋
Don't listen to the news. It's exaggerated. Ask a local if where you intend to park in a city or suburbs is safe. Don't be afraid.
The clouds are called lenticular and are often formed on top of a mountain 🤗🌍
Welcome to las Vegas smashing that like
It's been awhile since I've had a float! Growing up, we called a root beer float a black cow. I bet some parts still call it that.
Stopping in Seligman was a good shout! Looks like a town dripping in Americana! 😍
The white canyon walls underline how much the water level behind the Hoover Dam. In addition to producing electricity, the reservoir stores drinking water for 20+ million people and farming irrigation. 😱🤯
I know you didn't mean to cheese your first night's parkup, but I'm glad you got one good sleep in! 😁 Maybe vanlife in Vegas is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get! I have heard some horror stories from other channels...😬😬😬
❤️❤️😎👍xx
Agreed !! And we like to show how it can be good and bad and there is no rule of thumb 🌷
😂 Yep it`s crazy in Vegas, we stayed at Planet Hollywood on our Route 66 trip .... and it was cheap compared to Bellagio across the road. Also did the Roadkill Cafe, got the t-shirt 😁
I think the news makes everyone unreasonably scared. I stay in my camper in the city’s when traveling often. Half way between LA and San Diego now. Contact me for great So Cal locations on your way to Mexico. If your heading all the way thur Mexico, I recommend going thur Baja and taking the Ferry to the main land. Much prettier and far safer.
they did. Staying in La Paz for a while. They said that in their life stream
Hi Michael - thanks for the advice - we are staying in Baja at the moment and then heading north to San Diego / LA then shipping our van from LA to Japan in Mid March
Thats great. Offer still stands. I have a small ranch, near Temecula. If you need a park up before heading off.
With all the obstacles n enjoyment u survived Vegas what a dream guys
I stayed at the Paris for a conference and my room was looking toward the Bellagio fountains. Beautiful until 1am when all I could hear is constant cannon booms from them 😮😂
The white colored rock is where the water level used to be. Lake Mead up stream on the Colorado River is only about a 1/3 full. It has been losing water for 30 years. Lake Powell is also getting low. Those columns are the water intakes. Pretty soon the water won’t be high enough for the Hoover dam to pull in water and generate electricity. The drought, global warming, and too many people using the water.
I had been to Vegas many times in the late 1980's-1990's when I worked for a Travel Agency. Loved going to the Hoover Dam and also the inside tour. Happy you were able to get to see a show.
Nice video, you are the best
what an experience you had not often yo go to the hoover dam then enjoy the night life in Las Vegas, truly envious of you. carry on camping
I've been to Vegas many times over the last 30 years (travel agent), from the opening of the Luxor to the opening (re-branding?) of the Sahara (so it's been a few years). I absolutely LOVE your reaction to the city. The sheer glee you guys showed, at every stage of progressing through the area, is what I love most about my job. Whether it's Vegas or Mauritius or the Seychelles or Moorea or Lake Havasu (MTV Spring Break reminiscing clients), I LOVE watching client reactions to places they never thought they'd be able to visit. I'm curious though, did you not want to try out the High Roller or was it closed? Oh and fun fact: the OYO hotel used to be the Hooters hotel.🦉 And to answer the question, I wouldn't camp in Las Vegas. I would use Las Vegas as a 'facilities' stop, getting a hotel (it's as little as $19 a night at the mid-major properties) and using the shower and such. I would camp in the Red Rock area or out by Green Valley Ranch. DO NOT park at the KOA over by Sam's Town. It's more expensive than just getting a room at a strip or downtown/Fremont Street hotel (except on the weekends).
There is an RV park just off the Strip near Circus Circus.
One of your best videos. Thank you.
Hello Friends . . what a great adventure catch a show and sweet dreams . . our world has turned to a nickle and dime you for everything unfortunately times we live in . . nevertheless continued safe travels happy trails 👣 ❤️ 🙋♀️🥰🌺🌻
Nice video recap of the area. I loved Circe de Soleil too. Great artists. Another option for camping is at Lake Mead, not too far away. Be well and travel safely.
Thanks for the tips Kathi xx
Amazing channel what a wonder and adventure I'm stunned myself 😍😘 thank you for sharing.
When you get to Australia, You will be able to say you have been to another Hoover Dam in Kookynie, Niagara north of Kalgoorlie West Australia , yes built by Herbert Hoover the same man in 1898 when he came for the Gold rush. Before he became President of USA. We went there in 1997 for out 25th wedding Anniversary to the only Hotel remaining of the once 20. Such a historic place yes still married 47 years later, so impressive we can say seen the USA Hoover Dam on UA-cam thanks to you and Trudy, and the Australian Hoover Dam
They had to change their plans. Going to Japan instead of Australia
Thanks for the whole USA vlog series! You both really inspire me with your positive way of living.
This summer we will go to the states and do a road trip by car. We start in Vegas and will stay her for two nights.
I wish you all the best in life. Be safe. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Have fun!
Treasure Island Hotel was where my daughter was married, in a chapel.
my husband and I are soooooo envious...... keep it going..... Sedat and Betul (Turks in Australia) Sedat & Betul.
Fascinating Video really enjoyed it and so exciting to see Las Vegas Wow you two are having so much fun. Take Care from Telford xx
Marianne you are so brave driving Las Vegas (good that you practiced Istanbul)
LOL - yep I channel my inner Turkish driving skills when I do drives like this !! 😂🙄💕🚐🙌
I am quite surprised that when you left the Grand Canyon, you didn't head a bit east on I-40 to Winslow, AZ to stand on the corner (which is dedicated to the band The Eagles), stop at the Meteor Crater which is an incredible site, or go to Lake Havasu to see the London Bridge and the English Village. If you're ever in that area again, you must at least stop at the crater. You won't be disappointed.
I love Lake Havasu City! Fun and not expensive in my opinion. A lot to do there recreation-wise.
They did stop in Winslow. Go back to their First Impressions of Arizona video.
@@vk33771 You're right. I forgot all about that part.
I don’t have close relationships with my parents. Seeing y’all so happy and experiencing so many amazing experiences makes me so happy and proud!! I only wish y’all the best!
I’m surprised you not been stopped just from a curiosity and chat point of view. I was stopped in the uk last year. He just wanted to say hello and look at my van. He told me he goes wild camping in his van on his days off. Great chat with a fellow van lifer 😢😮😅😂
I started a weekend canoe trip at the base of the Hoover Dam with a Sierra Club group years ago. What a divine trip that was. You are waaay down in there looking UP at those cliffs. So incredible. Thankfully it didn't rain, so it was perfect. We saw sauna caves, hot springs and had a blast. Also went to las vegas for a couple/few days, by car. Might have stayed at the "White Wizard?".
Yes, you really can't camp in a big city in the U.S. not legally, really no place to anyway. Would be yucky even if you tried. Some Vegas casinos used to be free parking but i would guess really noisy. 😣
Aww Marianne and Chris
I’m so pleased your first night in Las Vegas was so amazing - you definitely were very lucky
Wow you’ve made it to Las Vegas - Congratulations 🎉 ❤
Sending you beautiful vibes
Angela 🇬🇧🌠🌟🥂✈️
Thanks so much!!
Great choice for lunch, huge chili dog when we were there, interesting place 👍🏻
Omg you 2 make me smile. Its my dream to go to Vegas but not in our van . Loving your vlogs😂
Thanks !! 🌺
Another place that’s long been on my bucket list.
Y'all's reactions to driving the Las Vegas Strip were precious!
I made several memorable trips to Las Vegas in the '80s and '90s. It's always exciting to drive down The Strip! Hoover Dam is an amazing place. The tour down inside the dam is a one of a kind experience. I wish you could see that. The sheer size of some of the equipment is awesome!
I never got tired of going to Las Vegas. There are always new things to see and old favorites to revisit. I wish you had researched it or ask for suggestions ahead of time. You would have gotten so many you would have had to throw darts to pick a few though. 😂
I loved to go to Las Vegas for Super Bowl weekend. You could bet on the game, eat, and sit in a large room to watch the game with other fans cheering. It's a wonderful atmosphere. I've never wanted to attend the Super Bowl and all the mayhem that surrounds it. But the Super Bowl viewing parties were always a great time.
This was a wonderful video! I'm so glad y'all got to do a couple of bucket list things. It was great to watch you two enjoying yourselves so much.
May your travels continue to excite and amaze you.
Thanks for taking us along. 🥰
Amazing to see you guys in Vegas. I was only there last month and would love to have met you and seen Trudi. Im in the uk but have been 9 times now - for friends birthdays and to win millions. Still working on it lol. Happy travels - just love this channel x
Maybe one day!
My daughter and I were in USA in 2013.
I said the same thing about wouldn’t it be funny if we got pulled over by the police.
And as we went up the acceleration lane to join the highway we got pulled over. My daughter said don’t say anything like that again jajajaja
OH NO !! 😂🤔
Loved Las Vegas for the 3 days we were there , but then I had enough! The hotels are amazing though. Happy new year to you both , safe travels, thankyou for all your vlogs and taking us with you xx👍👍👍
Enjoyed your video. We’re Brits, living in the States for a long time. We live on the western end of Las Vegas at the moment. It’s quiet here and we rarely go to the Strip.
I’ve been to Las Vegas 15 times and I can tell you there’s no way I would spend the night in the parking lot
It is amusing to see the two of you coming all the way from Britain for adventure, turn into kids at the sight of the Las Vegas strip. I have lived in US for almost 35 years but still scared of the big, bad city that Las Vegas is often portrayed as. Glad that you are thoroughly enjoying yourselves here and good luck with further adventures here and in MX. 😄👍
23:24 😂🎉😂 and there I was muttering today under my breath about a green lit sign about two foot square 😂😂😂
11:09 this shot looks so much like looking down on the sea!
I was at the Hoover Dam in the 70s. At that time they hard tours of the inside of the dam. It was absolutely amazing and kind of scary.
Me too!
Hello Ambassadors
Guys you know I have been married there. Not a DRIVE THROUGH though😂😂😂 Little Church of..💝💝
24 years ago and stayed in EXCALIBUR. It is amazing place. You forget all of your problems there.
We could not get a 2nd visit there which is ashame. I see how excited you guys were👍👍.
Love you 💓💓💓 guys.
Paula says " hi" here💕💕
Awwh that is lovely to know !! Hopefully you get to go again 😍
Hi guys got your channel from Eva's channel I will be following you ,love from Ireland
Welcome!!
We were at the Roadkill Cafe in April 2011 for my 40th 👍... we travelled from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon (but it was snowed out! So never got to see anything 😯) have fun in Vegas!! X
Wow you guys are living my dream I've just came across your channel I'm gonna have to binge watch your journey now (Subscribed)
Thank you and Welcome !!
Absolutely brilliant guys, may all the luck be with you always. Lots of love from the Isle of Wight … safe travels 🤗
Love this video, what a wonderful trip x
Their are casinos off the strip with free parking we might try
Epic, sensational and awesome , ❤❤❤❤ good choice 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for the trip to vagas it was epic ❤🙏🏾🦋
That Delgadillos store appeals to my sense of humour, but I won’t talk shop 😆 As for parking in Vegas, I hear that a frog once tried parking in a hotel car park and got toad 😂
Wht happen in vegas , stay in …😉
Whatta beautiful roads btw…wow!
Ha Ha 😂💕🚐
What great drive music for your video....great video too!
The Hoover dam is the 2nd largest dam in the US, the largest is the Grand Coulee dam in eastern Washington state. Almost 3x the power generated.
Looks like use had a fabulous time although the early rise dampener personally I don’t like city’s but it’s an experience I’m more a quiet Turkish village kind of person thank you guys for sharing your experience
We are n the roadkill cafe we loved seligman
Marrianne and Chris Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍
Imagine that route with small children ... " are we nearly there yet?" 13:05
Ha Ha !! LOL
Love the cirque du soleil, have seen them twice, and im in oz
Not America if you don't see a tumbleweed, hehe. Roadkill cafe, eek. Just the names made me retch, sorry. Hoover dam, yep a must and fab.
Vegas - Our exact same reaction. Loved it. X
I thought the whole place was sinful when I went although I suppose I can say I have been.
Would not return.
Really enjoy watching your travels and love your confidence.
Las Vegas isn't that dangerous to be honest.
Also paid rv park at circus casino on strip
I’ve always wanted to find a safe place to stay a night in Las Vegas
We drove thru exactly on Memorial Day 2021 and the traffic was very light I was so thankful, traffic is scary! Love your video!! Reminds me of my trip I took in my Electric Car!! It was also 95degrees F at 9pm we couldn't "camp" in my car at that temp, we left after charging. Next time we'll find some where to literally cool off 😎🤣
Great video but not my bucket list - just built for gambling. Humans!!! Love the Hoover Dam however and interesting about decline of water level: the LA River doesn’t always have a drop of water in it!!!! I think unless I’m mistaken they terminator and Grease were filmed on the LA River so that says it all!!!!! However what I did like : the blue sky with palm trees remind me of my roots: North Cyprus. Hollywood with the backdrop of Hollywood hills and palm trees reminds me of Kibris which is why I’ve fallen in love with LA and Burbank. I now know why Bob Hope moved there from Eltham SE London xxx stay safe
sweet
one of the last places on earth I'd want to go to, fair play to you for braving it in the van
I’m sure this has been answered way back but …why does Marianne do all the driving?
She loves to drive and he is in charge of filming and working while she drives. No one ever asks a woman, why does your husband do all the driving.
And don't forget I am a better driver !!! 😂😉😂🚐💕
Just wondered. I know with some people it is because they get car sick as a passenger
I just love how the English ignore the 't' in a word. For instance, the word 'pretty' becomes 'pre ee.' The closest Americans come to that is 'pre ddy'.' And don't get me started on how the English ignore the R at the end of a word. For some reason, the word 'year' becomes 'yeaa' yet they DO pronounce the R that appears at the BEGINNING of a word. That's as messed up as official American lingo ! It's preTTy strange, you'll have to admit.
I always wanted to drive over the Hoover dam , seems so exotic. Is their not a park for free app in Nevada ?
Merhaba.
It's a shame you didn't go to Fremont Street to see the light show or go up the Stratosphere tower, save travels 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yeah, MILES and MILES of sameness. That's a challenge
I've been to Las Vega... long ago. Saw Rich Little and walked all around to see the sights. Not my cup of tea.
Bütün dünyayı gezdiniz,tekrar Türkiye ye bekleriz.
Bear Grylls, is that you? 😅
