We’re Marianne and Chris, a married couple from the UK. After some life changing events we decided that life was just too short. We sold all our belongings, bought an old Campervan & rented our house to travel full time. The aim is to attempt to visit every country in the world in either our van or with a backpack. We started videoing our travels for our family and then decided it was a wonderful way to document and share our adventures.
Our latest adventure started in January 2020 when we left the UK in an attempt to drive our van all the way around the world. Let the adventures continue.
Hi everyone we hope you enjoy the latest episode of our around the world drive. If want to see more of this area of Turkey then make sure you check our last video as we eat local Turkish foods in Canakkale ua-cam.com/video/C8CU-0cug4c/v-deo.html. 😀
Just to inform you During winter, wintertires are mandatory. You can get a fine for not having. Also snowchains are also compulsary they wont let you pass the checkpoint if there is snow ahead.
Glad to see you and your lovely wife escaped from those ravenous feral dogs without being devoured!
Turkey is your second home forever 🇹🇷❤️🇬🇧
And you are definitely our family 💜🙏🚐🇹🇷🤗
Turkey is a beautiful country.
Thanks for this film to save my regret! One of lost pieces during my Turkey trip...
You should go to Assos and see the ancient city where Aristotle lived. You are so close
Hi Recep - thanks for the tip - but we will go another time 👏
You bring so much joy in these depressing times, I don't think you know how much it is appreciated. I have been to Turkey many times and have always experienced the same hospitality. just can't get enough of you guys, thank you.I wish I could afford to become a patreon bud sadly I can't.
Wow, thank you - that is very kind of you to say - take care and more coming soon !!
The museum is really beautifully designed. Thanks Marianne and Chris. Have a good trip 🙋🌲
Thank you! You too!
As an Archaeologist and Historian, I highly enjoyed this episode!
Now the story with the trojan Horse, Helen and Aphrodite were from a writing by Homer, a Greek writer from Antiquity but who lived quite long after the Trojan Wars.
It is nonetheless a Legend, which, contrarily to a Tale, base itself on real facts (and puts some romantic or magical twist to it- but many of what was written in Homer's Illiad concorded with the discoveries)
Including that Troy was windy according to Homer.
Wow !! we are neither so we feel delighted that you enjoyed it so much !! thank you - M
Mehmed II the conquerer of Konstantinapoli was obsessed with Iliad, he red it many many times. and trojans were the first asiatic nation invaded by greeks. So being an asiatic king when he captured byzantine capital he said " finally i have the revenge of Troj".
😱 Definitely a "If These Walls Could Speak" kind of place! Wow!!!
My heart melts seeing the kanjal faces!
I know they dogs are gorgeous !! there are all sorts of strays and street dogs, some more friendly and others just happy to have some dinner !! but we are loving having lots of street animal companionship for sure 🚐🤗💜
I always enjoy your museum tours. They leave me wanting more. I suppose I'm just going to have to go to Turkey myself some day, Covid-19 willing and the creek don't rise. (In New Mexico, our dry bed creeks rise with a good thunderstorm.)
That would be great ... you would love it !! stay safe 🌺
Your simplicity is so appealing ❤❤❤❤❤
*Hi Marianne & Chris ~ glad you made Troy ... in the 90s I remember there were Americans excavating it ... It seems that dig is finished now and since then they tied it up a lot .... The road to Canakkale was I remember at least an hour there wasn't a museum then nor the camping sites to be seen .. Amazing transformation ... Infact you are lucky to have the site to yourself otherwise it is a busy location with plenty of tourists and backpackers.... Horse is same horse in the middle ... I've seen then ..I still have its picture on the postcard... Apparently they placed 40 warriors inside ... Incidentally you could climb inside to see the arrangement as far as I remember ... All nice and epic.... Probably Jason & Argonauts visited there as well on their way to find the Golden Fleece in Giresun (?) in Black Sea Coast ... At least 2 ~ 3 000 years ago .. Hundreds of generations back ... Incredible history ... *Deserve to be an World Heritage Site no doubt ...*
I'm sure all the cats and dogs of Turkey have a TomTom radio... they all know where to find you... ha ha...
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I think you might be right !! or they can smell the big sacks of food in the boot LOL 😂🙌💜
I love the idea of a Christmas video from St Nicholas' home town. We have had to cancel our annual Christmas trip because of Covid and we're looking for cheerful things to see and do socially distanced.
That's a great idea! - Thanks
It was a joy to see those ruins. I was a classics major and even read The Iliad in Greek - but I never saw Troy until your video. So thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! That is fab - thanks for your comment
I believe it was just a myth that was written centuries later. But cool story though.
Turkey is so beautiful ! I will be there in a few weeks!
Hope you enjoy it! Have fun !!
Turkey has Great History Great beachs Natur,Great Food and friendly People
We agree!
Hi Chris and Marianne. Have got our newly converted Sprinter back to northern Cyprus from the UK, but now I am in a weeks quarantine. Tornados yesterday!....Love you guys. Soon to rejoin my wife Carolyn in our villa, sell up and will be back into Turkey after Christmas. Stay happy and free!.....Very best wishes. Tony and Carolyn. :) x
Sounds great! and maybe see you on the road 🚐👍🌺
Whenever I watch you videos I remember a tekst about na elderly English lady who bought a van and travelled around America and Africa. When asked how she felt when she visited a new place, she said: "I say to myself just look and look, in case you never come here again!" Today, when we are deprived of enjoying life, we can se how much truth was there in her words. Keep travelling, because we are travelling with you🙂
Hi again Marianne & Chris... :) Nice camp place in Troy.. you can see the change inn weather now, so its jacket time now!! Really interesting listening to the stories of troy. Reminding me of my Greek History lessons at school!! What a great place to visit, and the temple of Athena looked really cool! Great views too. The museum is lovely. so interesting, and learning so much about the past....The town of 'Troya' is so cool... loved the buildings, ( oh yes...and the lovely dogs!!).. Thanks again to you both. See you next time.. Have fun D & A xx
Hi David and Angela - thanks for joining us again and we love that you are enjoying it too !! kind regards M xx
It's funny, it seems people always talk about the Americans and how much we display and have pride in our flag . . . but I think Turkey may have us beat! I've thought that the last couple videos. Now to start googling up info on Troy and Helen of Troy! Thanks:)
You can't even compare the U.S. with Turkey. Turkey is one of the most nationalist countries I have ever seen.
Hi Ann - yes it is great to see such pride - this area has been great fun to visit and get the imagination going for sure - Thanks for your message xx
@@precursors Same thing? lol Turkish people are a million times more patriotic/nationalist than the U.S.
@@precursors Why are you offended ? Lmao
@@precursors Still offended? 😂
Hello. Welcome to Turkey. We follow very fondly. We definitely expect you to Hatay and Gaziantep regions.

Hi Chris and Marianne. it is always a pleasure watching your vlogs.
now with Christmas approaching. it may be a great chance to do a special Christmas edition. Why don't you visit the home of Santa Claus. The original St. Nicholas is from Demre / Antalya. It will be a Christmas day treat for all your followers to watch a vlog from inside St.Nicolas's own church.
Ha !! What a great idea !! thanks - M
oh I visited him in Bari Italy.....oh well...guess he gets around. lol
Fantastic museum! Beauty place, thanks

Amazing history, what a beautiful museum, totally did not expected. Stay safe and warm, winter is approaching quickly. Thank you again!

go to antalya for better weather
Have fun! We are heading that way 😂🚐🌺
Hi Marianne and Chris, thank you. I am so enjoying your videos. I have been on three gulet holidays I. southern Turkey- from Bodrum, Marmaris and Dalyan. Great holidays but it has been wonderful to see other parts of the country , though I haven’t yet recovered from the trip up the mountain to see the tea plantations. That was something else!!!!
Keep safe and well and continue to have fun.
Wonderful! We are heading that way soon ... so we hope you enjoy those videos too !! Yep that is a never to be repeated on purpose kind of road !! LOL - M
Very interesting place, stay warm hope the winds die down. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
You are welcome and thanks
Great tour 👍💙❤️💙❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Yes windy like our capital Wellington in NZ on a bad day, there is a street in the CBD that they rope off, so you have something to hang on to when the wind is real bad, great the running commentary you have done as you walked around the ruins, yes a bracing day for you both and so many dogs, pangols you called them, Turkey is embracing you !
Thanks Eric - we will have to check this Wellington wind out!!
You are best
Brilliant.
Harika yerler..
You always find friends 🐶🐱!! 😊
Ha Ha - I think they find us LOL 🙌💜🙏
Cool, thanks a lot new video! It was super interesting! Winter is coming, are you ready? Take care 💗😃
Thank you! You too! We should be fine :)
An ordinary day for Canakkale. Canakkale is a very windy city. Best place for windsurfing.
Great to know - thanks
Mariana and Chris, we'll still there, until the end of your journey around the world 💞🤝😘
Wow !! Thank you ... that is great to know 👏🙌🚐🌺

@@TREADtheglobe çanakkale is the windiest city in turkey. Because of the bosphorus.
Fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
Fabulous
Thank you
I am not saying this because it's my country. But What a beautiful country with very rich history. ♥ Love you guys.
I love the way animals follow you where ever you both go it's like your Turkeys version of Doctor Dolittle haha
Ha ha thanks very much Claire - we do always seem to attract the local animals - they say they can sense nice, kind people - or maybe it's because they can smell the bags of dog and cat food we have on board LOL 😂😆
@@TREADtheglobe Both i say ha
Good Luck
I remember walking down the streets and sitting in the Ampitheater. There wer NO boardwalks.
Great history lesson, up close. Thanks for your enlightenment and historical teaching. God bless you both. Pastor Dean, Christian Life Church, Kissimmee FL USA.
Thanks we are glad you are enjoying the videos 👏
Thank you for videos that you are showing us my country.
It's heart breaking to see those homeless street dogs.
Shame on city officials
16:55 😬 🙄 😯 😮 😲!!!. 😁 I love this outfit:-))) thank you for the video!. just wonderful and very entertaining as well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Starting to cool down a bit, what's your plans for Winter? Great video BTW. 👍😍
Good question! Hi Ian - we are heading to the south coast and we will then slowly drive East along the coastline 👍
@@TREADtheglobe Turkey's south-west and south-east coast in winter too its a winter without snow ... Do you remember Antalya? How hot and humid it was ... Cold and freezing in winter
Hello Dears !
Welcome to Troy the setting of the Trojan war described in the Iliad of the Homer.
Welcome to the city of Helene and prince of Troy Paris.
We were 2 times in Troy. Wish you happy times and more success.
Thank you Hassan - we are glad you enjoyed it
Interesting place - you should if you can, go to Ephesus
Nice
Thanks
Thank you crayz family
Any time
come to ulubey / usak and have a look at the canyon
Thanks for the tip - I have pinned it on the map ... but we are heading south now for the winter 🤗💜
You should visit Söğüt one day
No
You are so sweet and have a good trip in Turkey.
Thank you! 😃
Very nice and interesting video, Turkey has a lot of archeological sites, I have just returned from Afrodisisas which it is an amazing place! I am also in Turkey since August, and I am at Kuşadasi. But again with the pandemia I can not going out visiting places. Are you coming to Kuşadasi at these days?
Interesting! Yes we are planning on coming this way and should be there in the next week or so - but as you said there is soooo much to see !! kind regards Marianne
If You are in Aegean area, you should visit Sardes (Sart) ancient city as well..
Thanks for the tip - we may not got in that far, but we have a plan and literally have so much to see ... so much to see !! thanks again
Hi Chris
I couldn’t help but notice that since you guys have arrived in Turkey you keep calling every dog you spotted as kangal 🤣
I guess a little correction needed here 😊
You may know or not but Kangal is a mastiff Turkish shepherd dogs from Sivas region of Turkey and they’re sought after worldwide. They’re breed under strict restrictions by a Turkish government agency and their lineage registered by this agency therefore it is impossible that those stray dogs are kangals 😎
Anyway hope you don’t mind. Wish you and Marianne the best as usual and be safe guys 🖖
Ha ha - sorry anything fawn and black we think must be a kangal cross ... they are all so friendly and gentle they certainly have the traits of the kangal ... but noted !! Thank you
@@TREADtheglobe They most certainly are friendly and most of the time well fed by locals (although come to think of it it's Canakkale and I don't know if it's as the same case in Istanbul )
Anyway, see you guys
Well history lessons. you guys must be history teacher)
Awwh Thanks - no and I was terrible at History as school although that was over 35 years ago !! LOL Thank you for your kind message 🤗💜
19:52 haha that look..
Evet
Hallo..your video is very good. I really want to come here. Can you tell a little where you started and what did you get on here? Thank you very much 🙏
Yes I can - we are driving our van so we are able to get about - but there are coach tours from Istanbul and Izmir - but if you mean about us .. there is a video on the channel called "I Quit' that tells you about us - kind regards Marianne
I may be wrong here, but the kangals that are trained to be sheepdogs or goatdogs are very protective of their animal charges, so you may not find them as friendly as the dogs you are meeting in towns. Please be careful. On the mainly positive side, I’m so pleased to have visited Troy with you today. Thanks.
Those were not kangals. If there were kangals on the street there wouldn't be kangals on the street because people would own them.:)
Kangals are one of the most gentle dogs especially to the children even they are strangers. They are very protective against wolves but they respect humans.
They are not Kangals , they are just stray dogs.
Yes, I know the dogs in this video are not Kangals. Thanks.
Nice troy, no troyble finding it. Is that where the word destroy comes from?
Maybe LOL
