😀 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.

Thank you so much for stopping by Callie's Hot Little Biscuit!! We are so glad you enjoyed your breakfast and we have been enjoying your time in Charleston! You really have packed in so much amazing sights into a short amount of time, you are doing Charleston right!!
You are so welcome! And we are so lucky we found you (recommended by many locals !!) Thanks again for making such lovely biscuits !! Best wishes Marianne xx
The misses is adorable. So beautiful and such a bubbly personality.
The spanish moss hanging from the trees is lovely and is found throughout the southern US.
PLEASE, PLEASE for the love of god don't take it off and bring it home. I know some people who aren't familiar with it do just that then get chiggers which are like bed bugs. But yes, I agree 100%. We used to have a bunch of it in my yard.
Fun fact: Early cars uses spanish moss as the seat filler because it's so soft and durable. They stopped using it because bugs came along with the moss and would infest the seats.
Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself in Charleston. Lifelong resident here and yes we, like most southerners, regularly greet strangers we pass on sidewalks. Great channel!
dear Marianne and Chris, I wish I'd known you were visiting! My son and I have become fans of yours, when we found your Turkey adventures with Trudy on UA-cam (PS. we're Turkish American and live in Charleston!). So wonderful to know you were close, even if we couldn't thank you in person for your lovely friendly coverage of the Turkish people, countryside, food and culture.
Our pleasure! And we loved our time - we did not choose to show that Turkish people are lovely and kind - THEY ARE !! We were there at a time when the world was full of fear and suspicion - people were turning strangers away in fear of getting sick - Turkey literally opened its door to us and everyone - EVERYONE was kind, sweet and generous !! You should be so proud to be Turkish - your culture, upbringing and natural sweetness is wonderful and we will always carry Turkey in our hearts 💜🇹🇷🌷🙌
The warship across the Cooper River Bridge is called the USS Yorktown. It's an aircraft carrier, not a destroyer. It fought against the Japanese in WW2. You can actually go on it and visit for a fee
Welcome 🙏🏾 to my home town. I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina where I still reside to this day. ❤️
"And I need to wee :)" haha, that was great!
It’s Spanish moss hanging from the trees. And it’s okay to touch, doesn’t make you itch. I’ve touched it all my life, being a Southerner myself.
You guys made my enjoy Charleston more than I ever have in 16 years! Charming perspective of streets I drive nearly every day. TY
You are welcome !
Same, I live right outside Charleston but we come to take things for granted. Inspired by this video I've been spending more time out on the town enjoying the beautiful low country.
When you visit downtown Charleston, the Trollies are free. It makes it much easier to see more! It runs from the visitor’s center where you got off the bus and loops every spot you visited and more. Hop on, hop off. It has approx 23 stops in the loop!
Thanks for the tip !! We got the chance to work off those calories !! 🙌🌺
Really? I've lived here my whole life into adulthood and I never knew that.
I move to downtown Charleston on Friday from Philadelphia. Never been so excited in all my life!
Great video, beautiful city. When we went to LA in 2019 there was a Turkish shop in Hermosa right by the pier; also not sure if it’s a thing all over US but the buses in LA also have bike racks on front - really cool idea - stay safe xxx
Charleston is one of the great historical/coastal cities in the Eastcoast. We always enjoyed visiting Charleston! It is great to see you two in the States.
Thanks we are excited to see everything new to us 🌷
Charleston is awesome. It has something for a melting pot of taste.
Enjoy. My son attends college there. Hey son. I will be there for graduation in May. So proud. Love & light.💚
Awwh that is so sweet !! thank you for sending him a message here !! 🌺💜🙌
Actually Chris - some states require a front license plate and some do not. All of my British friends are blown away that each state has different laws about a variety of things.
We are learning about some of these differences for sure - it is very different !! and a little confusing !! LOL
That was one of many things I've enjoyed, moving from MD to SC. Removing the front plate. Small thing. I'd take the pay I had in MD instead. Lol.
Yup! Used to live in Delaware for a few years and no front license plate is required. It was a shock coming from New Jersey.
@@TheGracefacekiller During WW2, Delaware did away with the front plate to save metal for the war effort. NJ is the most densely populated state in the union. NJ relies on front plates for traffic enforcement; specifically traffic cameras. Double the odds of getting the offender with 2 plates!
I had been in Charleston about 20 years ago. What a coincidence that you went there. Good memories. Have a nice trip. :)
Thank you !
Glad you could visit our little city!
Hope you enjoyed your visit! If you ever get back, the Battery is great, there are wonderful tours of some of the historic houses, and definitely enjoy some more of the amazing food we have here!
THATS MY DORM IN THE FIRST CLIP LMAO
Thank you for visiting my hometown. Lived there for 70 years. In my old age now living with my daughter in Maryland.
Thank you for a great video, I enjoyed seeing Charleston as I plan to visit one day soon.
Glad you enjoyed it! and there is soooo much more to see !
I put roots here 2 years ago after falling in love with the city in my travels ☺️
Enjoy your adventures
“I like your truck” 😂. They’ll be locking you up Marianne 😉
LOL !! 😂🚐💜
The Navy ships in Charleston Harbor are part of Patriot's Point Naval Museum and Maritime center. The USS Yorktown, is the aircraft carrier, next to it is the
USS Laffey, a destroyer
Riverfront park also has amazing Naval history. But yes Patriot's Point is the best one around.
My son and I actually spent the weekend on it one year for a boy scouts trip. It was a lot of fun.
@@rejoicedancing1977 same! I did that when I was younger.
Another great video! Glad you enjoyed the biscuits.
Been here my whole life. Love my city! So glad you visited.
This is most definitely on my list of places to visit in the us
Gretings from Alanya, Tutkey.
Stay healthy, happy and safe in South Carolina.
That’s so awesome, I’m moving to the south in 4 weeks. So happy you are here, and Trudy omg, we miss her, you must be over the moon to see her again.
Sounds great - keep an eye out for her !! We are delighted indeed and are enjoying the road already xx
Spanish moss is actually a flower, I was in my twenties before I learned that xD. Also the ship you saw with the planes is actually the USS Yorktown, an aircraft carrier. There is the destroyer docked next to it though
Charleston looks very pretty thank you guys for sharing this vlog can’t wait to see Trudie
Our pleasure! And we can't wait either !! woo hoo xx
You sure had a great day exploring Charleston, and I'm glad the biscuits met with your approval. They look tastier than the dried out biscuits they serve at my local KFC. I love all the stunning architecture there, thanks as always for sharing your adventures.
Glad you enjoyed it !
Thank you for another great video. Love your enthusiasm and appreciation of everything you encounter. You know how to show the best of everything. ❤💐👌
Yep - we don't like to be miserable LOL - the day we stop enjoying travel we will deffo stop !! It is so much fun to be bringing Trudy here - woo hoo xx
@@TREADtheglobe 😀👌❤
Good coverage on Charleston
Great video! Looking forward to you picking up Trudy!
Great editing and showing off how beautiful my city is!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your trip into Charleston left a smile on my face. From your "what is this" with the Spanish Moss to your " I like your truck". Our cousin has a booth at the City Market. I looked for her booth but didn't see it in your video. The last time we were there, there were porch swings hanging from the gazebo on the pier. Looking forward to your reunion with Trudy and hope you continue to enjoy your trip here in the US.
Glad we brought a smile to your face !! 🌺
Love watching you guys! If you make it to Florida you definitely need to check out the white sand beaches of northwest Florida! (Destin Emerald coast)
I also was amazed by those trees in New Orleans when arrived here from New Jersey
Love your Charleston video
Thank you 🌺🙌
thanks so much marrianne and chris this is very best vlog good work best day nice life👍👍👍👍
Hello from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
You guys are awesome I love your videos they are so additive that I cannot stop watching.
You guys are so honest, entertaining and overall brilliant.
Hope to see you in Sydney and I would be happy to show you around.
Keep up the great work and happy and safe travels. Please give Trudy a big hug 🤗
Thank you so much 😀
Loved seeing your visit to Charleston. Didn’t know you could take a bus from North Charleston to Downtown Charleston. Yeah Google Maps! The market is always fun.
It's honestly funny to see places I see every day on random drives all the time and just say hey I recognize exactly where you are at
OMG I was riding next to your van the other day there and snapped a pic 📷 👋🏾
Hey Tish thanks for your comment - Trudy our van does standout a bit LOL ! we had a fun time in Charleston and today we are heading south. Hope you enjoy our adventures - xx
Welcome to the south!! I LOVED your experience of trying biscuits for the first time 🥰😂 so cute! Charleston is a beautiful city! If you're staying in the south, try shrimp and grits next (dinner) or grits with breakfast - just be sure they're creamy and not made with water 😊.
All the best on your travels and YAY for reuniting with Trudy!!
Thank you 🌷
I've had some fun times in Charlie Town, great place to rent a house on the beach for a long weekend, bring friends and enjoy the coastal living!
Please let us know when you come to Tampa, Florida. I can't wait to see you guys in person. I been follow you guys since the beginning. I love your videos. Safe Travels.
Thank you - I will post something in the next few days for sure when we are in the area - M xx
Yes, Spanish moss. Hope you get to Savannah, Ga. for some Shrimp and Grits. I am from Wilmington,NC if you go back north.if you do....I have some suggestions!
Cracks me up you never ate a biscuit- we are heading to Charleston in 2 weeks and will be sure to go to Callies
Those biscuits looked very yummy. I loved the little Turkish store. I really need to go to Charleston one of these days. You guys have inspired me. I've heard the food is very good. Great video! Thank you!
Please do! And go to see Nadeem in the Turkish shop - Kissmet and say Hi from us !! xx
Please do. You won't regret your visit. Charleston has changed over the years of course,but she still has her charm. If you've never tried grits,please do. Blessings
I'm from this beautiful state and Charleston is amazing! The angel oaks are my favorite! Charleston is home to us and we love visitors! Thank y'all for making this video! I hope yall come back very soon!
That is awesome! Thank you for watching and we are delighted you enjoyed it - the video with the Angel Oaks will be out soon !!
@@TREADtheglobe if you have time, y'all should definitely go to Edisto island! It's about 30 minutes from Charleston! Go see the island and botany bay!
Well, let's just say Orangeburg, North Charleston, and some others. But overall the state is great.
Such a fun couple. I wish I could have met both of you. The hotel you were staying in is down the road from where I live. As soon as I heard Aldi, I knew it. I'm glad you had an enjoyable visit. Charleston is amazing. Callie's Little Hot Biscuit is a must. Until your next visit, take care & safe travels.
Thanks Robin
♥️ beautiful city x
Fabulous Video Guys 👌. Charleston looks a Lovely place. Nice that St.Patricks Day was Good there. Slainté Marianne & Chris ☘🍻.
Yes it was! 💚🌷🍀🌺
Your videos just make me happy. You 2 are two beautiful souls. God bless you. Wishing you all for many more good trips :=)
Thank you! You too!
Love you went there my family been going there since a was a baby in a backpack my earliest memory of it is my mom paying for something with travers checks it an amazing city in Charleston any building that more then 75 year old can’t be torn down no matter how fun down it is
I am so happy that you found my favorite city. My husband and I own a small condo on On the isle of palms which is only about ten miles From Charleston... We live in Tennessee but we go down often. I could walk the old streets of Charleston forever. And I always find something different to take pictures of
Charleston looks amazing. It’s on my list now of places to visit 😁
Don't waste your time its horrible and everyone who lives in Charleston hates tourists. It's become a tourist trap. Stay away and tell all your friends to stay away.
What a beautiful place
Loved this show
Those biscuits looked divine .... definitely made my mouth water
Would love to visit Charleston
Thank you for sharing
🐝🌈✨🌙💫🌍🐠
If you ever go make sure to visit some of the plantations. They're only about 20 minutes out of the city and well worth it. I grew up in the area and I myself still enjoy going there.
@@Proven_Data Thank you for the tip 👍
Greetings from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina...enjoyed your walking tour of Charleston.
Henry's at the old town market is a great place for happy hour and dinner on the roof overlooking the city if you ever make it back there 😀
Thank you !! Great tip - and we think we might be back !!
Charleston is a tourist's delight. Unfortunately I couldn't see much of it the one time I was there to catch a cruise ship. Glad you were there and covered some of the interesting spots. Good luck with your road trips now that Trudy has arrived at the port. 😊
Next time we hope you can visit again !!
It’s Moss. You can find them on the tree branches or even the ground🥰
1st video down and I have to say Charleston looks a lovely city !! Those little hot biscuits looked tasty 😋😋
Onto the next video 👏❤️
I am in love with them !!
Thanks for including some of the locals we love our Geechee Gullah tradition
Very pretty city!
Welcome to SC, if you visit the midlands and upstate you’ll find we are Scots and Irish heritage here so a stubborn bunch lol. There is a SC BBQ trail as there are 3 basic types in the state. Yellow Mustard based, Vinegar based and a Ketchup based sauce. Also if you get near Monetta on a plateau known as the Ridge, halfway between columbia and Augusta, message me as the some of peaches are still blooming. Enjoy the Videos and look forward to seeing more!Have a great trip.
Thanks !
So glad you like the biscuits, my grandparents in Oklahoma had them every morning with gravy. Do buses in England carry bicycles on the front like ours? And, Woo, Hoo, Trudy is here. There is another traveling UA-cam family that just shipped their van from Europe, they are Mali Mish, they are mom, dad, 3 kids and 2 cats. Maybe you will see them in their Mercedes Sprinter one day on the road. They will be in Washington DC for 2 wks. while waiting. I just so love seeing all of you out there enjoying life on the road. Can't wait till Sunday to see you reunited with Trudy.
Woo Hoo !! we are excited to meet some vanlife folk for sure !! Now we are on the road - it is our first night in Trudy !! woo hoo - and we will be sharing that soon - I have not seen any buses with bike racks before - ever !! 🌺 xx
Callie's is one of best biscuit places! Gilroy's Pizza is fantastic and open late! Yes, that is the market but the building on top was the old SC state capitol buliding before it was moved to Columbia. The Battleship is the smaller one to the right! The big boat with the planes is the Yorktown aircraft carrier which picked up Apollo 8 from the ocean! Great video and not slow and boring at all! Kudos!
Spanish moss tends to prefer two common southern trees: live oaks and bald cypress. It will, however, grow on most trees if the conditions are right. Spanish moss is not parasitic and therefore does not harm the trees directly. The plant obtains its own nutrients.
From Charleston here! Great video! The tree stuff is Spanish Moss!
Great vlog, had biscuits many years ago 😋 .
Turkish shop in America.....who'd have thought.
Can't wait to see where Trudy will take you to.
Thank you! 😃 us too !!
Chris that is a aircraft carrier called the USS Yorktown CV-10. The Laffey she is moored up behind her. The laffey is the most decorated World War II era US Destroyer still in existence. Would love to spend the day there! :)
Thanks for the info you just trust local information sometimes LOL 😂🤔😂
Amazing, superb and sensational
Thanks Sam - glad. you enjoyed it 🌷
I am from Louisiana and grew up on "biscuits". When I lived in Europe, they called a cookie a "biscuit". Here in the South, they are usually eaten with breakfast: eggs and bacon or omelets as the bread. I hope you enjoy them. The ones you saw in the store were more cake like, and break apart, but a traditional biscuit is rolled dough and cut out into circles, they don't break apart. Plenty of lard and flour, great for the waistline but so good.. Yes, Marianne is right, the closest thing in England to our biscuits is an unsweetened scone.
On the trees is a "fungus" but it is called "MOSS" not harmful at all. in fact it was used as filling in mattresses in the old days. ...very typical on oak trees in the South. You are really getting a southern experience: biscuits and MOSS....
Thanks for the info 🌺
Raised here in Chas. & would not trade it for anything! Agreat place to raise your children.
The Spanish moss is beautiful, but it’s very bad for the trees! You’re in one of my favorite places!!
Welcome back trudy
Biscuit sandwiches, the ones with avocados, looked delicious to me from here , avocado as always my one of favourites, God is Great
So good! And yes the food was delicious ! 🌷
We call the banana (or sweet) pepper as "Çarliston", here in Türkiye. Does that pepper really originate from the town of Charleston actually? Thank you for this lovely video. I see that Charleston very much looks like a European city. Beautiful city overall.
Moss is in the trees! Come to Columbia go a tad west and that’s Lake Murray, my home. I’ll cook you a southern dinner! Xx Beth
Wife and I just came from spending a week in Charleston, before we saw your video. Really enjoyed ourselves, was staying just two blocks from King Street, so we walked up and down it all day, so its cool to see all the things we just saw in your video. And yes, it does not feel like a city at all. One quick thing, the ship you showed is the USS Yorktown, an aircraft carrier that was decommissioned in 1970 (original Yorktown, CV-5, was sunk at battle of Midway). We took the water taxi over the Patriots Point and walked all around it. The destroyer is the USS Laffey and its behind the Yorktown. The sub, USS Clagmore, is not open.
I really enjoyed your video. 🤩 ⭐️
Thanks for Sharing! 👍🏼
Greetings from Albania. 🇦🇱
Thank you so much 🤗
Y’all found a little library! You can take a book and leave a book. It would be a really good way to offload books you’ve read on Trudy and pick up some new ones
Bike Racks on buses are all over North America. Both in US and Canada.
There are 3 FREE inner city bus routes, that will take you all over Charleston. Go to the main bus station, across from the park bench you were sitting on Meeting Street. And there are FREE but routes inside the bus station.
Great tip !! thank you
God bless you and your family
Thank you
What an amazing city.
Stunning place and we only scratched the surface !!
Ya'll should try a McDonald's Sausage McMuffin w/Egg or a Sausage Biscuit. I suggest to put a little Strawberry jam (ask for a packet of it at McD's) on your McMuffin...very tasty! I think you were talking about Spanish Moss hanging from the tree.
it is a beautiful city. I have been there before pandemic.
Our mess decks squares on all the ships I served on always had U.S. car number plates festooning the walls along with local banknotes drawing pinned to the boards. We called them Gizzits (shortened from Give us it) aka acquired souvenirs. Probably a few Gizzits on that U.S. carrier too!
Limit yourself to tourist areas and yes. I've lived here my whole life and continuing into adulthood but there are sides us locals will see. But yes overall it is.
Hello Folks
What a great video of Charleston that was. Rainbow 🌈 street is awesome. Visited there briefly myself. To me it was a very laid back atmosphere that city had.
Food looked delicious 😋
You guys transfer the taste of the food nicely and effectively with your comments and facial expressions. Everything about you is NATURAL, That is ONLY ONE of the reasons why you're loved 😍😍🇹🇷♥️
Have more funs and SAVANNAH, GA is going to be next , probably?
Love you guys💕💕😍
Thanks Nick - yep Savannah then we will be flying by to see you !! woo hoo xx
As one of the follower said those are Spanish mosses. They add great background to the environment you are in.
In the meantime, I can't wait to see you guys.
♥️♥️👍👍
I have been following you with pleasure since your visit to Turkey.
When you entered a Turkish shop in Charleston, that sincere smile on your face was very sweet. You felt at home in Nedim's shop, we see you as one of us. You are a very sweet couple.
We were very happy to have you in Turkey, I hope you will come again one day.
I hope it will be a great American adventure. Thanks for the great videos.🙏🏻❤️🧿
Thank you - we are excited about so many things and we have so much love for 🇹🇷 I had a meeting this morning with our turtle conservation project manager and team and have many more ideas on how to improve and promote this project that protects globally endangered species - we will be back in Turkiye as there is much work to do - until then we will travel and grow our channel to make our project successful and share positivity and friendship - thank you 🌷🙌
@@TREADtheglobe We are grateful for what you have done for the promotion of Turkey and especially for the protection of turtles. We are happy to know you.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
The large ship is the Aircraft Carrier the USS Yorktown, the Laffey is next to it. Anyway Great video!
2:29 yo that's right nearby my house, my brother works at that Chick-fil-A xD
It's moss on tree...the movies theaters are all across America the one in my town looks super cool on the outside..the little libraries are also popular across the US 🙂
Home made biscuits go with anything that you want, tradition is with grits and butter, eggs, and bacon. Using it as a sandwich is sort of new as a 'fast' food take out, though people have even used peanut butter and jelly.
Ow ! That sounds great !! PBJ !!
Glad you found a bit of Turkiye in Charleston !
that ship at 16:00 is the USS Yorktown and its an Aircraft Carrier
