😀 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.

Happy Sunday everyone 😃 Thank you spending some of it with us 🙏. So what do you think - are we mad for coming to this region of Turkey or would you also come here despite the travel advice. Let us know your comments below. Sending you all big hugs Marianne and Chris xxx😎
Hi Marianne & Chris you people are lovely and i like your vlogs(Turkey) so much, you are absolutely not crazy to be in that area where there is so much of rich history and the people are so humble and friendly, MAKES ME FEEL GO AND LIVE THERE 👍🏼🙂
Hello from Tampa, Florida. We visit Turkey last Summer for almost a month. We visited 23 cities (not enough) I felt in love with Turkey and the people. We are planing to go back and spend 3 months exploring. Thanks to your videos I have a better Idea of where to visit now. I enjoy a lot your videos. Take Care guys and I hope to see you when you come to the USA.
Chris saying “eyvallah” shows how much of a Turkish man he has become 😁 that cracked me up!
07:16 müzik seçimleri gerçekten harika diğer gezginler gibi Arap müzikleri koymuyorlar gerçekten Türkiye'yi tanıyorlar. Tebrik ederim ellerinize sağlık
How wonderful that people of Turkey are trusting, accommodating, friendly, helpful and hospitable. Inviting you to come to their place to have coffee or Tea, even you are strangers to him. Lovely Turk, he's a good grandpa.They are one of the nicest people in the world, well it's not everybody because there also some A$$ h0le there too. But the majority are one of the best people in the whole world. I have 3 Turk best friends and I love them all. Thank you for bringing us all in Turkey, I never been in Turkey but I love Turkey so much. Take care to all of you. I know this was a recorded videos but It is very entertaining.
Birgün Türkiye ye gelmelisin
Turkish people are so generous.
Türk olduğum için birdaha gururlandım insanlarımın misafir perverligini insanlığı birkez daha gururlandırdı NE MUTLU TÜRKÜM DİYENE 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷👏👏
Elhamdilullah kardeşim
I think it was a very good decision to come to Eastern/southern Turkey. I have been working for more than 27 years now as an MD in humanitarian aid and what most journalists and their readers forget all the time is that all the persons within and on the fringe of a conflict zone feel very much abandonned and left alone by the world at large, while they fight to lead as normal lives as possible. Visiting them supports them and opens the eyes and hearts of the visitors and the visited. Thank you for opening our hearts and eyes through your wonderful reports and videos 🙂!
Oh thank you for your lovely message - we agree and love to share how we met the most wonderful people 🌺
Nice to see people in the east of Turkey are just as hospitable as everywhere else you have travelled ! Cok guzel .
The friendliness. Of the Turkish people blow’s me away you’re so lucky
Hello - it’s Andrew by the way, I’ve just changed my name for a possible future project. This week I’ve resigned from work and so, like you, at the end of April I’ll be an early retiree (52) and ready to travel again. Meeting random locals is definitely one of the things I like - you see a much more authentic side to a country.
In Turkey people think after retirement you must stay at home and life nearly finishes. With these videos I feel hope for future for 50ties 60ties. It is nice to read people changing their minds about life.
Most of us really like UK and it's greenery that he was saying there isn't anything green here so not that much beautiful. However most probably we would struggle a lot during UK's winters and never ending rains😁
During funerals it is a tradition to hand out food to everybody in the name of deceased person, like last good deed while they are departing. You would say ''Allah razı olsun'' while accepting it which means ''may God be pleased (with their deed)''. I think it is good for relatives as well because we can be very sad and refuse to eat especially during first days but when you know it is in their name you eat it for sure and pray for them..
Oh how lovely - thank you for sharing that information - wonderful 💐🙏🤗
The government of Turkey must give Tread The globe a Medal 🏅 because they are doing absolutely amazing job, we decided to visit Turkey, this country is full of culture we fall in love 🥰
Thanks 🙏
You're absolutely right, smiles are a universal communication! It never gets "normal" in your videos how open, friendly, and hospitable the Turkish people are. Truly amazing, every corner of the country. ❤❤😎👍xx
Well said! We are so grateful to be able to share the beauty here - love to the family xx
Thanks for another heart-warming video! The Tulip was actually originally a wild flower growing in Central Asia. It was first cultivated by the Turks as early as 1000AD and later brought to Anatolia. During the Ottoman Empire it become the main flower in palace gardens and also was a sought-after motive for tiles and various drawings. The name 'tulip' came from the Turkish word for turban. The flowers were introduced into Western Europe and the Netherlands in the late 16th century, probably by a biologist from Vienna. In the months of late 1636 to early 1637 there was a complete "Tulipomania" in the Netherlands. Some examples could cost more than a house in Amsterdam at this time.
Thank you for sharing this information 🌺
senin türkçe ile pek ilgin yok galiba zira ne lale ne türban türkçe kelimeler değildir.
Ne alaka? "Zira" yazmışsın, o kelimeyi Türkçe mi sanıyorsun?
@@nuovonovathegreatoutdoors aptal mısın? şu an türkçeden yabancı kelimeleri çıkarsak kendini ifade edemezsin. ben sana bu kelimelerin türkçe olmadığını söylerken, ben yüzde yüz türkçe konuşacağım mı dedim? imkansız bir şey bu. ünlü uyumuna uymuyorsa sözcük türkçe değildir.

Wonderful People all over Turkey! Another amazing video! Enjoy it !
I love your vlogs. You not only show us the scenery but you also show us the human connection. I have not been to Turkey, but I already love the Turkish people. That footage of the shepherd crossing the road was amazing. Thank you so much! Hope Chris is doing better.
Thank you so much! We love this too - being able to show how awesome the world and the people in it are 🌺🤗🙌

Thanks John - yes we loved our time with them xx
Wonderful video; what amazing people there are in Turkiye. It just goes to show how ignorant the world is. Well done for showing us this gorgeous region of Turkiye. The Tulip was the flower of the Ottomans- if you look at their porcelain designs you’ll see lots of tulip designs on them, in fact the logo for Turkiye on its adverts has the tulip. The cups we drink Turkish tea are a shape of a tulip. We introduced the tulip to Netherlands. Look forward to Gaziantep xxx
Bir yol hikayesi gibi olmuş bu vlog, bizlerin bile geçmediği yolları sayenizde görüyoruz, zevkle izledim, teşekkürler Marianne ve Chris.
efsane harbiden sdffssdf
Really pleased that you are back in Turkey (I know you have been back for a while), these people are so fantastic. They all want to help and make you so welcome. Keep the videos coming, I so miss Turkey. Getting on a bit now but I can hardly wait to get back there. Thanks guys, keep safe.
Thanks Eric - we are sharing the last of these road trip videos - before we ship to Trudy - we are in the UK at the mo getting Trudy ready - there is more realtime up to date information on our free weekly newsletter 👍
Your videos are the best 😍Full of interesting information and so heartwarming. Your open heartedness and contagious energy are a blessing for all those you meet ...and us viewers 🤩 So glad I found your channel 😁
Wow, thank you! It is great to have you with us 🌺
I googled regions of Turkey devastated by earthquake , then go back of your previous vlogs , watch again your vlogs , because I know you almost explored every place of Turkey. I saw how beautiful Turkey is , thru you , and feel sad while watching , realizing some are gone , not only the infrastructures , but those people caught in vlogs.
My prayers for them.
💔🙏 We are all heartbroken and the pain runs deep for so many - our prayers and hearts go out to those affected 💔🙏
LOVE Your CHOICE OF MUSIC CHIEF !
Thank you for showing us this part of Turkey
That was brave venturing so close to Syria 👏 Even though the locals live not far from all the trouble they still manage to smile 😃and as always are so hospitable ❤️. St. Peter’s church looked so interesting, we love seeing history, thanks for showing us it. 🤗x
You are welcome Paul and Rhona - we love sharing these road trips and can't wait to show the food feast of Gaziantep in the next video LOL !! xx
thanks to last operations in syria there is no danger anymore you can visit south east turkey without problem
17:35 that ''eyvallah'' hahah i didn't expect that
Another wonderful video showing the beauty of Turkey and it's people. The cotton fields reminded me of here in the San Joaquin Valley of California where cotton is grown. Would love to be able to go and be in St Peter's church one day, I think it would give me goose bumps. Thanks you two, take care.
Indeed Adele - this place was just wonderful - a moment we will never forget !
Your music choices for the videos are awesome. 100 % Turkish music.
Lovely video, museum looked fabulous as did the journey.
Such a authentic point of view! 🙏
What adventure that was loved it . I love hearing the call for prayer it's so different to what I'm used to xx
Glad you enjoyed it - yes we love it too !!
There were (maybe still are) families in the region that have members permanently living in different sides of the border. Before the civil war in Syria, some arrangements were being made on Islamic holidays at some points on the border between neighboring villages of Syria and Turkey, so those families could celebrate together without dealing with the standart border passing procedures. It was one of the recurring happy news stories at Islamic holiday times.
Anadolu'nun güzel insanları. Allah sayılarını arttırsın.
Amin
Türkiye’den güzel bir seyir olmuş
Bütün güzellikleriyle Türkiye 🇹🇷🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊😊😊
gezdiğiniz yerler biz türkler için bile dünyanın son noktası gibi. eski dünyaya özlem duyanlar için harika.🐾🗿🛡🔎
Agreed - such a wonderful adventure !
Your not the middle of no where but in the center of every thing- Gobeleki Tepe near- there is much under those hills- best wishes
It's called Gobeklitepe, meaning potbelly hill.
I hope you enjoyed our video of Gobekli Tepe - It was such a fab road trip - Woo Hoo 🌺🚐👍
Thank you very much for the video.
You are welcome!
So interesting! What a sweet experience, the local stopping to chat. 🥰 that terrain reminds me a bit of the Karoo here in SA. Thanks for sharing. Love your shared passion for other cultures, travel. Etc. 🤗
Thank you Linda 🌺🤗
What an amazing trip this must of been!
I love these beautiful people❤
Such lovely hospitality!

Have fun! It is an epic and fabulous country 🌷🙌

14:45 He said that " come on in and let me threat you and fix some food to you "
Interesting fact of Turkey: Food & beverage treat to random strangers 😋
Absolutely - Like the first thing you did when you met us !! Invited us to breakfast 😂🌺💜🙌
great video and lots of positive energy. Thanks. By the way VAN is also a city name in east Turkiye, so the title of the video is a little bit confusing.
Lovely people thank you for sharing💕
You are welcome M xx
15:31 Beatiful recording...
Çok güzel bir videoydu.
Thanks for your lovely videos. We visit Turkey every year and we love it, specially among the Turkish people. In one of your videos you feel the Turkish tea is too strong. My wife and I had the same experience. A tip for you! Always ask for 'Acik Chi Lutfn'. It's mean a weak tea or not strong tea please.
Wow. You are both on one hell of a road trip. You are so inspiring. We have just received our new UK passports so we can’t wait to get across the channel. 🇬🇧
Have fun! Woo Hoo !!
You and your hosts are very nice people.The beauty of your hearts are reflected outside.You are very positive people maşaallah. I want you to be always happy in both worlds.Selam from İzmir.
Thank you 🌺💐
The Turkish guy in the field was telling that England is cold, but Green, look here is not 😂
In Turkish funeral, it is a tradition to give guests food. People think this give the dead person extra point in after life. For me, it is an extra burden for the people mourning ..
The food is offered after the funeral when close relatives and friends come home of the deceased's family for more prayers. It's natural part of hospitality. But this food is usually brought there by neighbours and relatives not to burden the family....
This was one of the best episodes 👍 Yes, if all of a sudden you see 30 people eating lahmacun in the middle of nowhere and if you are also offered to eat lahmacun, then there's a good chance that someone has died very recently 😸
Hey guys, I noticed the St Brigids Cross at the back of your van. It must be from your trip here in Ireland. Today is St Brigids Day. Don't forget to leave a scarf or a piece of cloth outside the van tonight & St Bridid will bless it when she passes. It can be used for healing headache & sore throat. It's a story from Irish Folklore.
We do indeed xx Thank you for the tip - I will 💚
I love how Chris answers "Inglaterra" when someone asks where are you from. But that's spanish :D
LOL - I think it is because after 5 months in Central America it is his automatic reaction - I love it !! Marianne 🌺
Great Video.
Speaking of farming, Hatay meets 25% of Turkey's fresh fruit and vegetable needs. 😂
Wow!! Syrian border?! You're guys are courageous. take care and be safe.
Tulips is FROM Turkiye , yes 👍🏻
And the Netherlands have made them popular and they earned a lot of money from selling them.
Tulips from Amsterdam 😀
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video as always!. take care guys!.
Thanks 👍
Ne güzel gezdiniz ya benide evlatlık alın bende geziyim 😉
Sizlerin gezdiğiniz yerlerde hava güzel,bizim buralarda(Yalova) kar var.
Şimdi Türkiye'nin batı çok soğuk, Yunanistan da karlı. Doğu'da hava daha güzel.
Now it's cold in the West of Turkey, there is snow in Greece. İn the East the weather is better.
Hello Chris and Marian
another lovely video
I haven't been that far myself
Love Marian's blouse 👚 ❤
Where did you get that Turkish music 🎶
Thank you 😊
Thank you ! I bought it in Ephesus !! The music is from Epidemic sounds - we pay a monthly subscription so we are able to get great music for the videos 🌺
I wish there was more of a global effort to protect all the historical sites in turkey. So much history
Also European museums are full of historical artifacts taken from Turkey , some of them returned to Turkey and I hope all of them return to their homeland, Turkey.
I am sorry to ask but where did you get the idea that they weren't under good protection?
They are already protected
💕💜💕💜💕
Indeed tulips are plants native to SE Mediterranean and Central Asia but that was no tulip. Probably Drimia maritima a kind of squill or sea onion.
I really don't know who would win a hospitality contest between Turkey and Pakistan
Where are you guys right now ? I and my husband have just returned from the Himalayas after spending 5days of our 2nd honeymoon for our 25th anniversary and now waiting for both of you for dinner. New Delhi, India 🙏
Hi we are in the UK - shipping the van to USA !! We hope to be round for dinner one day for sure 🌺
On the way back you can consider to visit Tarsus in Mersin if it on your route check that it is historic Roman city
The Turkish guy on the road was saying when you mentioned England , that he pointed to the land of him and said it is no green here
Thank you - we loved that moment of meeting him 🙌🤗
"Smell the other country" 😆😅🤣😂 WHAT are you saying? Lol
The chimney smoke from the houses - what were you thinking ? 😂

انتم في القلب 🇸🇦🇸🇦❤️❤️🥰👍
First comment - thank you for watching and hope you enjoy the video 🙏😀
We can't go within 10km of the Syrian border. It's a red zone. Aussie Gov won't render any assistance and it renders travel insurance void
God bless you and your family
er meint ..ja in UK ist es kalt aber grün
Good video

That is the largest simit i have ever seen😂
