  • The saga continues and these have to be our scariest days of travel in India so far, as we continue from Thekkady to Munnar in Kerala
    Munnar was absolutely stunning though, and definitely a highlight of our time in the Western Ghats.
    If you enjoy our videos, don't forget to subscribe here / thosehappydays to be notified when we post our next video #Munnar #Kerala #IndiaTravel
    The incredible place that we stayed at in Munnar was Camelot Resort www.camelotmunn... which is 17 acres of pure paradise. Please go check them out for your next stay in Kerala
    Our overall plan in India is to travel via rickshaw/tuk tuk from the South to North (if it's possible?) The next leg of our journey is to travel all the way through Kerala, and then a bit more of Tamil Nadu before reach Karnataka
    WE POST VIDEOS EVERY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY 7PM AND SUNDAY 9AM (British Time
    We have only just arrived in India, after a crazy time back home doing van life and living full time in our camper van conversion for two years in the UK. But after some serious engine problems that cost us a fortune, we came to India on a mission to honour Liam's Grandad's legacy who sadly died earlier this year. With the inheritance money Liam got from that, we bought the tuk tuk and named it after Liam's Grandad.

      Me too Kim. I did solo travel vlogging in India for 3 whole years and travelled long distance on trains and busses. If it wasn't for the local people I would have been totally lost. We always hear about how dangerous it is to travel in India, especially alone. But In my personal experience I was always safe and very well looked after in India whilst off the tourist trail. And when I watch Liam and Janine's vlogs there are echoing my experiences. I much prefer vlogs to mainstream media ♥️

What Liam and Janine are doing is showing us another side to India and like you I really appreciate that ♥️ I am a British Indian woman and did 3 years of solo travel vlogging in India. Similar to Liam and Janine I wanted to show the natural beauty and helpfulness of some of the people. ♥️

      @@stephenboyd4934 iv no idea Stephen. I did 3 years of solo travel vlogging in India but not in my own tuc tuc lol 😃 however I did take private tuc tucs. At times I was told that tuc tucs can not climb in certain places so it was therefore not possible to take one. So from that I guess there aren't any engine upgrades. If you run a tuc tuc business it's not possible to take customers to hilly places as it's probs not viable due to the amount of times the tuc tuc wud break down. But in Liam and Janine seem to be enjoying the pure authenticity of tuc tuc life. I love them for that ♥️

      Probably Sandhurst doesn't know that there are 100 films from Kerala with IMDB ratings above 7.5.
      When Tom Cruise acted in Top Gun 2 then Americans called him an eternal actor however people from Kerala were calling Mammootty an eternal actor.
      You can see the filmography of Tom Cruise and Mammootty from 1985 to present so you would know what I am talking about.

But the locals gave me 100 percent support. They didn't have to but they just decided to.

      Billie I agree with you. This world has become selfish. I did 3 years of solo traveling vlogging in India with local genuine people. It restored my faith in humanity. Nowadays Liam and Janie's vlogs restore my faith in humanity ♥️

    As you so rightly emphasised, it is SO HEARTWARMING to witness the kindness and support you’ve received from so many people throughout the trials of your amazing adventures. There certainly seems to be a culture of generosity, giving and optimism throughout India. I’m relieved you’ve kept safe with all of their help.
    3 questions:
    I wonder, have you any idea/knowledge re how welcoming do you think older women travelling together would feel doing something similar?/maybe not QUITE so adventurous!
    How welcome do you think LGBTQI people doing similar travels might be?
    Finally, how easy or difficult is it to find veggie/vegan food free of onion? Many 🙏 thanks.

    • @glassceiling10
      @glassceiling10 Рік тому

      India is accepting of everyone, but you need not announce to anyone that you're LGBTQ. Two older women travelling together should be just fine. PDA by anyone (even hetero couples is not done) That's all you need to be careful about.
      You would have to enquire at the hotels you visit for onion-less dishes. They might accommodate your wishes

    • @karthikj8969
      @karthikj8969 Рік тому

      Jeffery it really is a pure reality show when the Indian people come to the rescue 😃 This shows just how genuine they are and how big their hearts are ♥️ oh and by the way if it wasn't for the Indian people I would have got into so much trouble during my Solo travel vlogging in India. That is because I always got lost on busses and trains. In fact I once missed a long distance train and a local came to my rescue and helped me get on the following train. I honesty feel that solo travelers like myself are safe whilst traveling round India. It is the country with the least mass shootings and the local people are super helpful. People told me I was in mega danger whilst travelling round India but that's just a myth due to the influence of mass media.

    Totally agree with all the comments about such breathtaking people as well as breathtaking views, but what also takes my breath away is your ability to 'let go' when other folk step up and step in. It's more than hope or trust, it's a kind of acceptance. Anyone who has travelled knows both the strength - and stress - of that feeling! I think it grows into a spiritual resourcefulness. Huge, HUGE kudos to you both ❤️

      Binh I agree with everything you say. Re the pure hearts of the local people and the fact that Liam and Janine are strong and positive. What is so magical about their vlogs is that they spend a lot of time off the tourist trail. This is PERFECTION. in my experience tourist resorts can be full of undesirable characters which can create discomfort. These vlogs show how important it is to get off the beaten road, meet nice people and explore PURE nature. I am entrenched with Liam and Janine's vlogs. I did 3 years of solo travel vlogging in India and these vids bring back memories for me ♥️

I have enjoyed watching your van life journey for a while now, it always cheers me up and puts a smile on my face, my girlfriend has become a big fan of the channel too. I work as a fireman and have for seven years now, it can be very upsetting sometimes depending on the day/nights call outs, however I like coming home and cuddling up on the sofa with my gf and watching the latest video you guys have uploaded, it helps me unwind and take my mind off a bad day if I’ve had one. Anyways, just wanted to say thank you to you both, keep up the fantastic content, and stay free and happy.
