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.

I adore Safranbolu. I have been there a few times. The first time I went I had a very strange experience. It felt like I had been there before. Me and my wife were walking around on the first morning, and my wife wanted to drink Turkish coffee. I explained that there was a very old cafe just around the corner! Even though I'd never been there before!.. And yep! A cafe was right around the corner which happened to be the oldest in the town!
Always feel at home there, in fact me and my wife have discussed retiring there.
creepy !
You should have a DNA Analysis :))
@@raziyeartem8484 😁😁😁😁😁
Maybe you were the governer of Safranbolu in your previous life 😁

What a fabulous vlog!!! The kindness of Turkish people makes my heart smile 💝
Come 2 Turkey :)
@@ahmetbazoglu I've been lots of times, i absolutely love it. It will always have a special place in my heart 😍
Oh Lorraine ... there is so much more love and kindness to come ... we have met some new friends to TREAD the Globe - who love Trudy as much as we do and they have done something magical ... we love it !! woo hoo
@@TREADtheglobe Thank you for the heads up, i'll have a box of tissues ready 😁😍 xx
🌺
Lovely turkey ❤
Yes !!
I love Turkey!!
Yes we love it too - M
After watching you guys, we so want to travel around Turkey and especially the Black Sea coast! Love watching your travels, thank you so much for sharing them with us. 🥰
Thanks Julie - we are delighted that you are on the adventure with us ... we will be back on the Black Sea coast one day as we made new friends and found new places that we much go back to ... kind regards and hope to see you there one day - Marianne xx
That market area and those vines and umbrellas are gorgeous!
They are! Just full of positive and beautiful atmosphere !! loved it !! M
The best quarantine videos ever!!!🌸💗🌸
Wow - thank you so much - we have lots of videos on our playlist .. so if you need a fix of travel ... jump in and enjoy - kind regards Marianne
I loved almost all of your vlogs about turkey... Love from India
So glad!
In the USA try about $30/night for an RV parking spot. Other than over a month in quarantine in Istanbul, the pandemic does not seem to adversely affect your having a good time in Turkey. Certainly it has reduced tourism so the attractions, restaurants and highways are not over crowded.
Wow - good to know as we are still planning to come that way ... we better sell some more t-shirts !! LOL - Yes we are feeling very lucky to be here and we are going to areas now were the tourists should be as the holidays are over and they should be more quiet. Kind regards M
Great little town. How lucky you are. Sun, rain, thunder, hail. Heavenly entertainment. The gods love you.
Woo Hoo - it was spectacular for sure - thank you for your kind message - M
Hello from London, thank you so much we are travelling with you through your videos 😍😍😍
Welcome!! Thanks for joining us
What a beautiful little place Safranboglu is! I thought that Amasra was my all time favorite place in Turkey, but I guess that it's now Safranboglu and Amasra together. The chocolate cake you had at 22:22 is a traditional Turkish chocolate cake, it's called "Islak Kek". I'm obsessed with it! It traditionally is made out of turkish black tea and chocolate!
Thank you for that information - it was delicious for sure !! kind regards M
Safranbolu has such a cozy feeling to it, i loved it when i visited there. Thank you for the lovely video guys :)
Our pleasure! We are glad you enjoyed it - thank you
Şirince is like Safranbolu too you can Şirince too visit Number 1👋
9:07 not just turkey, the balkans were full of ottoman houses too! from thessalonica to belgrad.
Maria learned very good Turkish. Congratulations. This is great.
Thank you
What a wonderful place Safronbolu is. It’s a magical looking place. Loved the grapevines in the alleyways. And the history! ❤️
We agree! And those alleyways .... wowsers !!
Thank you for showing such a pretty place 🙏Safranbolu
Our pleasure 😊 we are glad you enjoyed it ... such a super spot for sure !! - Marianne xx

Hello AMBASSADORS of TURKIYE!
Thanks for taking me with you to Safranbolu this time.😜😜

Thank you and be safe!
Our pleasure! and we love that you are on this adventure with us !! woo hoo - best wishes Marianne
Hello from New Jersey guys,i m Turkish I love my country more,when I watched your video,thanks guys be safe…
Absolutely stunning scenery and as always so enjoyable to watch. You have both given me an insight into how beautiful the rest of Turkey is. I regularly travel to Turkey up to three times a year, but mainly to the area of and around Fethiye. You have both given me so much inspiration to explore all that Turkey has to offer. I look forward to watching each Wednesday and Sunday, this is the first time that I have made a comment, felt that I should, show my appreciation. Thank you both so much.
you should especially visit the black sea coasts.
Many thanks! We appreciate your support Jane and will continue to bring more beauty and friendship as we travel ... we will be heading to your neck of the wood soon ... best wishes Marianne xx
Turkey seems to be one of the best places to of handled Covid the best way from what I've seen from the videos .👍
Visit Bolu/ Lake Abant Nature Park too
Thanks for the tip - one day !!

This video has me really, really missing my travels. So much in this world to see. Thanks for taking us along. I just love you guys! ❤️ 🚐
Chris, I look forward to the book!
You are so welcome! And we are delighted that you are able to come with us ... we will keep you entertained until the travel opens up - best wishes and I will send you a copy as soon as he writes it !! LOL xx
What a lovely city, it is literally like a time capsule!! Thank you very much for this amazing video))
Saffron is a really good spice and enchances the flavour greatly but i guess it's tea is just terrible😁😁
Glad you enjoyed it! - Yep the tea was not my cup of tea for sure !! 😂🌿
Absolutely Fab!!! What a Lovely place. Thank you for taking us with you ☘💚.
Glad you enjoyed it too ... we would thoroughly recommend coming here ... just delightful !! M xx
Safranbolu looks amazing. Added to my list of must see places.
Hi Andy, It really is! We loved it and it is on our must go back list too !! LOL - best wishes Marianne xx
We took the same route. Safranbolu to Amasra and back. Many many places in Turkey are a wonderful adventure. We were there for a month and want to go back.
Welcome to Safranbolu
Love the old houses amazing.you guys rock lots of love from Australia
Thank you 🌺
Glad you liked Safronbolu . If you're back in Istanbul , be sure to take the passenger ferry out to Buyukada. ( Big Island ). It's one of the Princess Islands you pointed out in one of your videos from the Asian side of Istanbul. You catch the ferry from the north side of the Galata Bridge, if it's still the same location. It's been a long time. There's no motor traffic on the Island. You get around on a horse and carriage or rent bikes. You can find a place to eat lunch. Be sure to go on a weekday . Weekends are crowded.
A few km north of Istanbul in the town of Bebek (baby) , is Rumeli Hisar castle, which has been renovated. It's located between the 1st 2 suspension bridges along the bosphorus on the European side. It has a nice garden within the walls, and you can climb along the upper wall steps to get a view of the bosphorus. We lived behind the castle when my father taught English at Robert College.
If you want to get back to nature, visit the Belgrade Forest, about 20 km north of Istanbul. There are walking trails, a reservoir , and a huge Roman aquaduct. Again go on a weekday , and bring a picnic lunch. Weekends are crowded. I mentioned these about a month ago , but doing it again in case you forgot.
@bsn2ndsflat Davis: On Büyükada the horse carriages are nowadays replaced by modern electric carts and all horses are retired in cozy farms enabling them to enjoy the rest of their lives in peace and harmony.
@@onentogar7385 The streets are probably much cleaner now.
bsn2ndsflat Davis They sure are 🤧😃
Thanks for all the tips - we have managed to do some of it ... but avoiding lots of people has been our priority ... as numbers in cities are tricky right now ... But we will be back one day for longer as Trudy loves Istanbul !! LOL - M
Wow! Guys, that place is amazing! Beautiful, interesting, gorgeous food, wonderful people! I Enjoyed this video so much! 💕💕💕 Thank you for sharing this great country with us!
Glad you enjoyed it Sonja - we had a blast there and we know and hope to come back one day ... just such a lovely atmosphere ... just lovely !! best wishes - love Marianne xx
Perfect Safranbolu ❤
Yes !!
Thanks guy’s just beautiful. Another gorgeous place, the people as ever so kind. So glad you made it back before the rain came, we wasn’t so lucky in Southern Italy last September it brought it all back left the roof lights open you can guess what we came back too.

Hi Keith - due to the pandemic - we are avoiding the baths - but hope to go one day - M
Absolutely stunning village. I’m like yourselves old is definitely so beautiful. The cafe you stopped in for your Turkish tea looked so colourful and a great place to get out of the sun with always such friendly locals. That was some storm I hope Trudy is ok and you managed to stay safe 😀
Thank you! 😃 Yes she was fine xx
So wish we could hop on over to Turkey....we miss it terribly...oh please blow that storm this way!!!🌪🌩🌨Be safe Trusty Trudy!!!🙏
Awwh thanks Gemma - yes we love Trudy .. and in the next few videos you will see some of the love she gets from some new Turkish friends !!

I was just cramping over what to watch and a video from you guys? Just in time!

Amazing as always....Marianne's turkish is getting even better. Btw ç is pronounced like 'che' think 'ç'ay and your correct with c as in jeh think 'je'lly❤ ş is like 'sh'e and ğ is silent and sounds more like 'ah' instead of an actual g 🤣 you guys will be fluent in no time 😁
Oh thanks! We are grateful for the tips 🤗
Ooooh adding this place to our list!! Wonderful!! Strange heat in Cyprus today😩too.....xx
Welcome to Safranbolu. We wait again.
Thank you
Greetings from Shifnal Shropshire, Enjoying the video’s, such interesting places, love the off beat places, and the people so friendly, keep up the good work !!!

Marianne and Chris. I found your vlogs a month or so ago. I am loving your posts. Stay safe and stay well.
Awesome! Thank you! - Kind regards Marianne
That’s awesome!
Thanks
As usual, you've taken me back 12 years after to this lovely old town. I remember so well, this place gave me the creeps as I arrived in the evening and there were not much people back then, except for some locals, not even in the daylight. The only foreign tourists I've encountered were about 3, 2 Koreans and 1 Japanese girl, the whole 3 days stay. I have not seen you going up the hill to the clocktower though with a nice view of the town. Then again, another amazing place M&C!
Thank you - it is great to bring you some lovely memories ....
No one can advertise this beautiful country like you guys. Huhuu marianne
Just loving it !!
9:55 this is our shop. I am from Safranbolu and I live in Safranbolu.

Thank you guys for sharing your trip. It was a pleasure to watch it. I noticed you did not taste Safranbolu delight and simit(bagel). I miss Safranbolu's fresh double roasted pistachio delight.
Don't worry Sam if you check our Trabzon video .. you will see that we love simit !! LOL 😂💐
Welcome to our historical city. I live in Safranbolu. You are lucky for traveled this city.
Thank you - you live in a very beautiful city we really enjoyed our time there
There being such reservoirs of mercy for the travellers in this guest-house of the world and their being utilized for man's journeying, and for his ship, and his benefit shows that the One Who bestows such a profusion of gifts out of the seas on his guests of one night in a wayside inn, must surely have eternal seas of mercy at the seat of His everlasting rule, and those here are merely their small and transitory samples.
Thus, the truly wondrous situation of the seas around the earth and the exceedingly orderly administration and nurturing of their creatures demonstrate self-evidently that it is only through Your power, will, and administration that they are subjugated to Your command in Your dominions; and through the tongues of their beings they sanctify their Creator, declaring: "God is Most Great!"
"Risale-i Nur Collection/Rays - 59"
Some part of this collection is written in Safranbolu.
Welcome to the united colours and beauties of TURKEY...
Im Turkish , living in Turkey and also i already visited that places before but i cant stop watching your videos😀
Glad you like them! thank you for watching our videos !! Kind regards M
If you’re still in Safranboglu, I‘d highly recommend to you the „Çevrikköprü“ restaurant. It is a beautiful cozy restaurant in the nature with a big pool in the middle with turtles and fish inside! The food is all organic as well and everything including the butter is hand made, we always go there when we go to Turkey!
Thanks for the tip! I hope someone reading this comment is on there way there now !! it sounds great !! we have already left and heading off on new adventures which we will share soon - M
Wow, another amazing town. The cake! Good you escaped the hail too. Stay safe.
Yes, thank you 💐

how everywhere in turkey is so good jeez
Turkey is beautiful ! Ooooo. I love this. Noone is there. Gosh. What big population ? What crowded planet ??? Smog, planet ? Hmmmm Well, lot of land so far. Loved it. Very relaxing. You did all that walking. You two are sure fit ! What is an approx. cost to live there ? So wonderful ! Gosh, i love those sweet people !!!
Thanks JoAnn - it really is lovely and there is plenty of nature if you love it ... As we are in a van, it is difficult to gauge how much it cost to live here with taxes etc, but there are facebook groups for expats that you can join to learn more ... there is one called Kalkan living ... which we follow - there might be info there ... best wishes M
@@TREADtheglobe Ok, thank you much ! I will check out your suggestion site !
Marianne and Chris, I am sure you bith must have been stunned to see the old houses there.Dont forget to buy some Turkish delight.

No question there! Turks are one of the most imaginative and creative people when it comes to repairing things.

I was born in an old multi-room house in Safranbolu. I haven't been going there for a long time. Thank you very much for the video. But there is a lot to do in Safranbolu. I cannot believe that you have not eaten Kuyu Kebab, entered a Turkish Delight shop and eaten Turkish delight, or entered the old house and checked their rooms ...
