😀 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.

The person that holds the stop sign at construction sites is called a "flagger" in the States. A truly grueling job for all the reasons you said, plus their greatest threat: aggressive, inattentive, and/or flatly incompetent motorists. Seeing you roll down the window to give a hello filled my heart!! 🤗🤗 Gives them human contact, a proper greeting, plus sends the message "I see you."
Oh, deffo putting Talkeetna on the list!! Artisans, bush pilots, dog sled rides, and beer? Tick, tick, tick, and tick!! Well, not all at once. 😉
❤️❤️😎👍xx
Awwh we appreciate everyone that is doing their job to make ours safer !! And manners cost nothing (sorry my mum just entered my head!!) 😂🌷🌺 Spreading the TTG love 🚐😘
I believe a lot of people who has disability or health problem traveling with you. That is amazing, thanks Maryanne & Chris
Oh MOSQUITOS!! LOL. I highly recommend that you invest in a Thermacell unit. We use a "back pack" edition and it simply attaches to a butane canister (like a small but shorter propane canister.) Then, you change out the pads (refill repellent pads) when they change from blue to white. They are absolutely incredible. I have taken to putting it inside the tent 15 minutes before going to bed and it kills all of the bugs for us so we can get some sleep. 💞
Fantastic scenery! I’m loving this journey. Have fun and be safe.
Your Walkie-talkies need a “clear line of sight” to get their maximum mileage……no fog, clouds, trees,etc, oh, and a perfect day!
Thanks for the tips! And you are absolutely right !!
Don't worry, even without the smoke you can only see Denali a few days a year! Was there 12 years ago, clear day, no Denali!
Moose! They came to my garden to eat our apples. Just outside Uppsala, Sweden
PPs DO NOT FART ON THE FIRES........ Loving this part of your trip however Turkey still holds my Heart. I miss it so much.
Hi You Two Lovelies, There are 500 wildfires in Alaska right now. This is just unheard of. You need to be careful. There are maps on the internet showing where the fires are so you can plan your trip with safety in mind. We had to evacuate from a fire once in California...we left the west. Stay safe. xo
Stubbs the kitten for mayor…to ensure that the running of the town is up to scratch 🐱
Turkiye love you you 2 I hope back turkiye xx
This is the best road trip ever , what an amazing journey this is ,and I haven't even left my front room !! Be safe guys much ❤
Great to have you with us !
My kind of town, a cat mayor and gift shops 😆💜💫💝🌸.
hi guys, we were driving through Idaho mountains and saw a moose in the woods next to a pond. We stopped and all got out of the car to sit and watch the moose, who proceeded to walk into the water until it was completely submerged, gone from sight! Soon appeared again, eating weed. Such a treat to get those moments and Alaska must have so many! Enjoy!
Fantastic !!
We saw you in Talkeetna the day you were filming. It was then that I saw your van and took a picture of it. We were sitting at a picnic table by the market and can be seen in the background as you walk by. We went into most of the businesses that you show. After visiting the town, we were in a tour bus behind you going up the road. Wish I had snapped a picture of that but at that time, I did not know who you were. Now I am a fan.
Hey Jocelyn 🌺
Itchy boots is following you! Sort of......Dutch girl on a motorcycle! I can't stand mosquitos! Aghhhh!! Lovely vlog! Long may you run!!....
Awwh follow and love Itchy Boots !!
About 20 years ago there was a rescue on Mt.Baker in Washington State. They were using FRS radio to try and call for help. the signal was picked up by a couple of kids in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island - about 150kms away. Those things are seriously hampered by obstacles between them
Love it! My cat would just suit being a mayor!
I’ve heard a bar of Irish Spring soap in your campervan.will keep the mosquitoes away. I also heard the pine air fresheners for car work. I never tried it, but I saw it on Tik Tok.
Denali. Sometimes referred to as the COLDEST Mountain. Believe me, it is!
ne becerikli hanımınız var arabayı sürekli o kullanıyor şoförünuz sağlam ızledım güzel vlog hayırlı yolculuklar turkiyeden sevgıler😊
If you see the top of Denali be Thankful. People go up year after year and never see it. We got lucky in June and saw the top of Denali, July and August is iffy. It creates its own weather and forms snow storms from the top.
I wasn't expecting there to be wild fires either. I hope they'll deal with it as soon as possible.
Like the response above, there are over 500 fires going at the time they were in AK. There has been a lot of rain in the past 3 weeks and things are better. You have no idea just how big AK is... Fires are only dealt with if they impact a dwelling or business. If not they just wait for rain & snow. Ya, it's that BIG up there.
@@tramacmeg8103 I believe it's huge. I just had a preconception that wild fires occur in hot and dry areas, so I was surprised. It's sad to learn that they only try to put out if it's threatening something.
Great episode👍 we’re enjoying your Alaska trip, safe onward travels 💛
Thanks 🌺
A lot of Cabelas has a dump station. We took a small plane out of Talkeetna and they landed on Ruth Glacier. We got to walk out on the glacier. On the way we flew by a famous peak called Moose Tooth. The top looks like a molar tooth of a moose.
Wow - fabulous !
Her zamanki gibi çok güzel di vloğunuzu türkçe izlemek için ısrarım sizi yormamıştır umarim Ama değdi Tekrar tekrar teşekkürler
Harika !!
I wish I would have found yalls page earlier I would have loved to meet you when you were here in san antonio we could have went to the missions we have several here
Hi you 2 lovely video thanks xx
That town was amazing. Really quirky. Sad about the fires too but still stunning scenery. Take care x
You should have met Hank Hill from Strickland Propane in Texas. He would never leave you alone.
Fires rage through the west from Alaska to California every year and they are getting worse each year - Siberia has absolutely terrible fires too.
Fantastic road trip, loving your videos!
Fab rd trip guys thank you both for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
In that flat burnt out area is where a huge fire raged in 2020. It was very random in how it ran through that area.
Alaska is very interesting. In addition to the cat mayor and moose dung lottery, they also launch cars off a cliff near Anchorage for Independence Day. I really hope to visit there one day.
Fantastic really enjoying your road trip thank you 🇬🇧🍀👍🙏
Still loving your video's just wish they would be longer lol🥰🥰🥰🥰
Too bad you couldn't see the mountain. Maybe some day you can do a fly over.
Seems like these fires will become the new normal in many places. It's alarming.
Love you both
Loving it.
You kids are awesome
Hello friends . . what a nice little town . . Denali looks beautiful even though the smoke was hiding the mountain . . be extremely alert w/those wildfires always check the internet for updates as well and of course any locals . . continued safe travels God bless my friends ❤️🙋♀️🥰🦋🌈🌻💐🌹🌺🌷
Hello.l am living in Manavgat.You are visiting beautiful places.I thing you are on Alaska.
Thank you Taner - we appreciate your message 🌷
Teşekkürler sharing your adventures...
Greetings from Malaysia! Would be good if you could give a coverage on the town/downtown of Anchorage. The coverage on Valdez a few days ago was fantastic. Perhaps you wanna consider that on your way back Chris, Marriane. I'm enjoying every minute of your journey and adventure.
We are glad you are enjoying the videos - we are avoiding big cities and enjoying the smaller towns 👍🌺
For the last few summers, I’ve been keeping an eye on the smoke from fires. The 🇨🇦site is Firesmoke Canada, for when you’re coming through on your way back down south.
Fabulous Video Guys 👌. I Really enjoyed it 😀. Oh, and 'mushing' / mush comes from the French 'marche' (to walk). This was used by the French speaking Canadians way back in time when using sled dogs. The English speaking Canadians then mispronounced it as 'mush'. Safe travels Guys.☘🥰.
Interesting !!
@@TREADtheglobe Isn't it!! My late father told us this while watching an old film with the Huskies pulling the sled. Your video brought that memory back. I even Googled what does "mushing mean", & there it is.
Wow - we absolutely love this part of our adventure - we have seen and learnt so much !! And we have to admit that the people who live in such isolated and cut off communities are fascinating people with a mental strength and fortitude that is incredible - I saw a sticker saying "people from Yukon have been isolating since 10,000 BC" !!! What a sticker !! M xx
Great video guys 🤘🏼
Keep safe guys, 🙏 ❤
So good to see you go on the same route i took in 2017 from Anchorage to Denali, it was amazing, hope you are enjoying it.
Great trip 👌. Have you considered getting a cb radio system especially this far north.
Into the wild is a great film, even better book.
Thanks for another fabulous vlog. It's shocking to see the wildfires. Looking forward to the newsletter tomorrow with huge excitement and a few butterflies.... X
Interesting fact: Did you know that residents of Alaska can sign up to be the recipients of the fresh roadkill moose and or deer etc. whether it be by vehicle or train. (Not sure about bears) If it is a fresh kill, they will butcher it for their own consumption. If it's not so fresh I'm not sure about.
Awesome, spectacular and amazing 🥲
Yes, it was a fun episode and if you haven't viewed it, you really ought to view Into the Wild.
☮️♥️☀️🌹
Care About You!
Marianne and Chris,
Beautiful day here in Florida.
When you know it's going to be hot, then you must wear sleeveless or roll up your sleeves, especially Chris. Tshirts has to be thin cotton, not thick cotton. Wiping your face and neck area with a cold rag or ice pack works all the time. Drink a lot of water instead of coffee and tea or sodas. Those beverages will dehydrate you even more because it stimulates the blood so your body gets warmer and you will feel double hot. #1 and #2. That's exactly what we're talking about! Any flies are attracted to smell. They can smell a mile away, that's why they come around a barbeque or they smell something that died on the ground like birds. They all have a high sense of smell. This is why you must spray in your commode and under the truck with disinfectant everyday. This is why they come around RVs because they smell the toilets under the vans. They come around you as well that lives in the van, because traces of the smell is on your body. Something acidic like fresh lemon put in your water or a rag to wipe your face, neck area, arms and legs to keep them away. The best spray for mosquitoes is squeezing fresh lemon in a bottle, mix with a little apple cider vinegar and spray your body and around your neck, it works all the time to keep the mosquitoes away. You can find a gallon bottle spray for bugs at Lowe's or Home Depot. You can also add apple cider vinegar or lemon in it, they don't like the acidic smell. This is the only way to keep them away, by spraying inside the toilet and under the van where the toilet is. Don't forget your ice pack to cool you off. Pretend you're on the beach and wear more sleeveless clothing when it's hot! Or pretend you're at a nudist beach! ☺️
eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍
And moose are MEAN!!!
My free advice is to see if you can find two routes from wherever you travel so you do not get trapped if a fire overcomes the road and you have notice of it ahead. Perhaps so in some areas but maybe no alternative in some others. I have heard of people dying in vehicles while fleeing because they waited too long and only went direction they knew of. Rare but yes, sadly does happen. Keep well away from active fire areas and do know which location you stay in (county name, nearest highway mile marker and highway name, and camping area or nearest town). Check on the Internet for fire information and go by the particular name of the fire if you know of that. National Forest Service, Alaska State Fire etc. By the way, sign holders make good dollars when on road work crews in most places.
very very few places in Alaska would have an alternative route, usually in and around a city. Only one road to the Arctic Circle
@@CLFL14256 Good to know. I have never driven in Alaska - only cruised there on regular cruise ships and cruise bus excursions. Many thanks for the good information.
@@CLFL14256 that’s what is scary about it. It comes down to keeping tabs on conditions and getting out before it gets bad. I still remember Fort McMurry, which I think had only two routes out and one was closed from fire. Don’t wait until the last minute.
I did enjoy staying in Talkeetna and Denali National Park the one time we took the train from Whittier to the park and bus return to Anchorage. Gorgeous and yes, we saw the big mount Denali while in Talkeetna. We took the 1/2 day school bus trip in Denali and wished we had done the full day.
Merhaba.
The road workers with signs on the side of the road make a lot of $$. Something like $45 an hour.
Denali ... Sounds so Turkish
LOL! yep could be !!
I have heard great things about the spinach bread. They sell out fast. Sorry y'all missed out.
👍👍👍
what a shame there a fires and smoke. Such a beautiful place!!
Lovely episode guys ❤Did you managed to get Trudy's oil and filter change? Still can't believe that garage didn't want to help you .....somehow it felt personal 🤔
Hey - the video is coming soon xx
We are absolutely loving your videos! Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures! Chris, what was the device you referenced in this video for internet? It looked almost like a portable hard drive and you said it worked better than Star Link in Alaska. My wife and I recently bought an 18 foot Ram camper van (2022 Fiat Ducato outside the US) and are starting our adventures this spring. Thanks for the inspiration! Safe travels and God bless you both!
Hi Michael - we have added the details in the description of the video 🙌
Thx, Chris!
If you haven't read Into the Wild i highly recommend it, i got a used copy on Amazon for a couple of quid
Absolutely love your videos
Gemlik kumladan selamlar teşekkürler
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ahh mosquitoes 😟😟😟 do u have an 'electric bat', or what is ur preferred method of killing them (no easy way to say it, life is harsh)! Lovin Alaska.
Hugs wooohooo
👋👋👋
Gday sport, it's a good job you've got Trudy to fit your didgeridoo in, loving the vlog. Brilliant about Stubs being the mayor purrfect choice. Don't look up with your mouth open when they're dumping moose shit out of the helicopter.
Wishing you both the best!
LOL - there will be no chance that we will be there if they are dumping moose pooh !! 😂🙄🌺
If I’m not mistaken, the star on its own on the state flag apart from the Big Dipper is the North Star.
Hi guys I was just watching one of your videos from 4 years ago when you started your travels. You guys lost your strong British accent, now you have a slight British accent. 🙂
I think we are just like us - when we started we were terrified of talking on the camera and felt we were at an interview for the BBC LOL - We love those videos as they show how much we have learned since starting this new job of documenting our travels 🌺👍
👍👋🏻
With the high prices, and scarcity, pro-pain sounds logical.
Still waiting for you guys to come to Toronto.
Hey ! Thanks - we are not sure we can make it !! We are on the other side of the 2nd largest country in the world !!
@@TREADtheglobe The USA is actually the fourth largest country on planet earth! Canada is the second one. Unless you have passed the border! Have a safe travel and enjoy! Thanks for the excellent videos.
It's great to be able to follow you on your travel. Thank you for sharing. I would like to make a donation for Seher. How long will you stay in Alaska? September is coming and it soon will start to get cold. Have a safe journey.
Thanks Dilek - there is a gofundme page set up - search Tread the Globe Turtle Rescue - we are leaving Alaska and heading to the Top of the World Highway !! 👍🐢🌷
Yes! Cat people. 🐈⬛🐈🥰
It's them UFO s out there
🥰
Your going to have to fart into the propane tank lol
It must mean that you can’t have any drinks you didn’t buy in that pub. I can’t figure it out at all. Why have a pub that doesn’t allow drinks. Crazy!!!
LOL - Thanks Jack
👍🙂🙋👏
Does marianne like to drive even though she's tired?
Hi Recep - No if I don't want to drive we either stop or Chris drives - I don't do things unless I want to !! I am a free woman !!
It would be my guess that the water filling station is for a water tender which has a big water tank on it so 1 vehicle can take water to multiple fire trucks.

Far too many adverts in this video ☹
Hey - We are sorry about that - Chris has just noticed that he did not take off the automatic advert placement - so he is manually correcting this now - Oooops !! Kind regards Marianne 👍
I sell propane and propane execesseris
You should switch vehicles with not all but some. 1 kid ride in Trudy and Chris ride in the other and switch it up. Nice to BS. Both sex’s can collaborate if in the same van. Woman to woman. Man to man may be an advantage.
Wild fires don't 'effect' your van life adventure.....they might 'affect' your van life adventures....
Thanks for noticing 👍🌺

Moose! They came to my garden to eat our apples. Just outside Uppsala, Sweden
