THIS IS NOT YOUR NORMAL VAN LIFE CHANNEL
Because Life is TOO short..
We're Marianne and Chris, a middle aged couple from the UK. An Ordinary couple on an Extraordinary Adventure.
Currently attempting to Drive around the World in our old Fiat Ducato Van - Trudy.
Everyone reaches a point in life when you realise you're not going to live forever. After losing some friends & Marianne donating a kidney to save her friends life, that was the time for OUR realisation . Who's to say we will make it to retirement?!
In May 2018 we quit the 9-5, sold our belongings, rented our house, and moved into Trudy our van and we've been living life to the fullest ever since.
In Jan 2020 we set set off on the ultimate van life adventure, to drive all the way around the world. We travel full time, not to escape life, but so life does not escape us!
We hope our videos inspire you to step out of your comfort zone & live your best life.

I’m impressed with your driving skills. You can drive anywhere!
Shut up old man... Make something good with your life..
I am enjoying the videos but I'm wondering why you stopped numbering them. It's easier for viewers to follow when the episodes are numbered so I hope you'll reconsider.
Indian is wonderful....I love it there
Ugh, very dirty 🤮
What a ride ! I really enjoyed this vlog ! 😃👍
Kolkata used to be the capital city of British India. Once it was the second most important city in the Empire right after London. And now almost 200 years later, here we are in an absolute dump.
Please could you share more about the food you are eating. I’m loving this series. Regards from South Africa
Lovely watching your journey from the Uk
No. It was a scam
Dreadful and dangerous come to mind.
Van lifers? Sleep in hôtels, fly plane, WTF???
Yep - driving around the world with weather over 35c has meant that we have to be flexible to stay healthy and as a living kidney donor I am really being careful with not over heating and getting dehydrated, but we have not given up and will continue to keep going until we can navigate the borders and routes open to us 😉🌺🙌
We only cruise and it’s the best vacation ever. Someone else is driving and you pick what food you want and how much. What entertainment you want or just chill. Plenty of time to talk to people if you want. It’s the best.
I once traveled with a fellow from S Africa in England. He always orderd food at Indiean restaurant as hot as possible. And would always send it back as not hot enough. He told the story of buying street food in Bangkok. Oh no! Not white man food. The vendor was amazed as he chowed down.
Having crossed the USA Canada border too many times to count…the several times I had difficulties (either way) stand out In my memories. Especially the one time I walked into the USA. I had left my car in a visitor parking space beside the bridge into Canada.
God Lord. The lunch made me so hungry !!!
I worked in India for two visits in various places you have just got to get on with it 😅 you will have so many things happen you will never get people to believe you.
Dirty, chaotic and nothing more.. 😖
actually IN India and you guessing about that greenery for sale on side of the road, asking UA-cam what it's about??? , hilarious!! would it not occur to you to actually interact with the people there and learn a little more about the amazing culture in India? Can't understand how you can spend hours just driving through a country and not interacting in any way whatsoever or even trying to. And you never eat?? All the most wonderful food in India and you never eat?? Lol.
We did in fact ask this question when we next met someone who spoke English and yes we were right - thats the joy of travel - you see and experience new things every day - as I say you only know what you know - everyday is a school day LOL !
In sweden you only press your horn ,when it is danger!
Yes this is the same in the UK
Do you never sleep in the van?
Hi Elisabeth - yes we normally do but the temperatures have been so hot since Korea we have been unable to we have had temperatures in the van above 50 C and that is dangerous temperatures - good news is for the next destination we will be back sleeping in Trudy
Maybe while you're whizzing through the country, you'd might like to stop and enjoy the culture and meet people and perhaps get to experience the real India. Believe me, it will be worthwhile.
You'll love tomorrow video we get invited to stay in a desert village and it was a wonderful experience - we always cease these opportunities when they happen
Vastly overpopulated coming to the UK along with the rest of the world.
India is like that. It is a hard place to travel if you're not used to poor hygiene, that hotel was probably a place where men take sex workers. It's a hard place to live and work if you're not used to the caste system. Folks won't do anything they feel is beneath them even if it's their job. I worked with orthopedic technicians that refused to clean up after themselves. Next thing to experience is folks handing you food without gloves or tongues and then wondering why you change your mind. Taxi drivers that deliberately go the wrong way because they pretend to not know where they are going. Hardest thing I found was to keep my temper. Independent travel is the best way and I found the roads to mostly be pretty good.
You must visit the south, you will be able to appreciate the diversity of the subcontinent.
We hope to one day
0:29 Him: "Worst road possible" Us: "That's one of the best street road we've ever seen... plain, straight and clean...!!!"
dont miss Kerala... and always welcome mate..❤
Its like landing up in Detroit to know America
My dad worked in Detroit when I was a kid and we lived just outside.
why is india like this?
Count your blessing. India has come a long way from the days of the hippie trail i.e. driving from Kathmandu to London. Whatever you do, don't compare i.e. fire safety in the stairwell. India is a land of extremes. You will either love it or hate it. And don't take Trudi on the mountain pass to Srinigar.
Omg !!! You guys are amazing the way you keep your cool navigating your way through a country which seems to have no driving laws 🤦♂️great series and content x
Thanks! 😃
oh my dosa....!! looks so yum
Next time when u come I Don know it would be possible but I want to meet you in our home tome if possible come to my home also pls read the comment
India is a complete dump.
So when will you visit Indonesia? 😊
Hiii I am amit, you stay payel Inn in asansol city I lived here I missed u guys to see you In our country on my hometown I miss the chance
Why Varanasi? It's probably the filthiest place in the country.
You people looted 4 trillion pounds over 200 years now lecturing about dirtiness..
Good afternoon - not sure why you think we are lecturing about dirtiness - we are simply sharing our experience as we drive around the world the same as we have done in the other 23 countries we have crossed ??
Dont come to kolkata in summer.. and you have visited barabazar which is a raw market area bound to be dirty during peak hours
We love market areas - they give a real feel to live - we have visited them in every country we go to - from El Salvador, Korea, Turkiye, Mexico, etc etc
India is a union of states.
Your Trudy is worthy of a real truck horn.
Agreed !!
There is no caravan culture in India. Only actors and rich people are using it. So it is very difficult for people from outside travelling with caravan/van. So don't blame for India if there is any inconvenience. There is lot of public transport available to travel in India, Bus/Train/Air/Private vehicle etc. Food is available everywhere at normal rate, so no need to cook on travel. YOu will get all types of Hotels in any town in India and at very cheap rate. Finally, there is no environment created for campers here in India which is available ample in Europe/USA/Canada and other countries.
India doesn’t start until 15:52sec
What year was this?
this was this year 2024
Commenting on your wife and not you driving is not a critique of your wife's driving.
Filth has nothing to do with poverty. You are being kind an excusing what shouldn't be excused.
You should name the hotel, folks. It's important to protect others from unethical thieving scammers.
Hi - we left a review online so if someone looks to book - they will see it 😉
I rode my bicycle across India Loved it so much
