Hi everyone, we hope you enjoy our latest episode. Wow what a couple of days !! If you did enjoy it then we'd really appreciate it if you can leave us a thumbs up. 👍👍😍Thanks for your support. - Chris & Marianne xxx
Ben İngiltere'de 4 ay kaldım kimse bana burası senin ikinci evin demedi. Vizem biter bitmez şutladılar.. Onlar size bize vize engelleri koyarken bu kadar güzelleme yapmaya gerek var mı?
@Hüseyin Erkaya demek ki onlar bizim çocuğun vizesini uzatmamışlar. Belki daha işi vardı öğrenciydi. doğru söyluyor onlar bizim yüzumuze bile bakmaz orada
Ersel you will have them as Turkish citizens before long - your help is extremely valuable to them - and I enjoy how well versed you are with the "all things Turkey"

I’m a new subscriber from Christchurch New Zealand. I love watching your adventures and I’m so envious. Turkey is on my bucket list as my Grandfather was an ANZAC in Gallipoli and I’m addicted to Turkish dramas. Please stay safe and thank you for sharing xxx
Hi Sue - we are glad you found us and are enjoying the videos - it is a fabulous country and we are excited to share it all - thanks for the sub 👍💐 Kind regards Marianne
Just recently found your channel because of my love for Turkey, its been great watching the pair of you. I shall go back and watch your adventures through other countries. Keep safe x
Wow! I felt your pain - Chris I almost didn’t see you driving the van !! I really felt your nerves here however of course you wouldn’t have any problems as so far you’ve generated loads of positivity from your travel around Turkey that it welcomes you with open arms - yep, you’re in Turkey forever 😁😁😁🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 take care xx
Guys thanx for sharing. When we woke up in France on 21st Dec finding they had closed the French border 10 hours after we boarded the Ferry, we were relieved but at the same time anxious heading south about running into the police. Another border crossing into Spain gave us more cause for concern. Then trying to return to UK before the new negative covid test came into force added more border crossing worry. Surely Van Life must be easier. Glad you back in the land of your temporary residency.
Thank you both for sharing ... it is not normally like this for sure - Covid has been a tricky time for everyone - we are hoping that it gets easier for everyone in the future 😉🚐🤗💐
Well done you two! . I admire your determination. I am wearing your t-shirt which my daughter bought for x mas. Very nice. Thank you. Please say hello to my brother if you see him 🤣🤣 in Fethiye. If it is not too late I will ask him to come and see you and wave hand to me through your video. I have not seen him for last 23 years. Take care. Xx
Awesome! Thank you! We are in Fethiye and will be filming over the next week to 10 days the weather is not supposed to be good - but we will wait for a good day !! Please ask your brother to email us (contact details on the website) and we will see if we can get him waving in the background LOL xx
Thanks so much for the introduction and clarifying the situation. It really helped. Congratulations for your successful day trip. I am very impressed and did not believe it would work. I admire your positive attitude ! RESPECT.
JOURNEYS as it is called , includes the obstacles; stress , detours ; unplanned path , discovered & explored unfamiliar, misadventures , that put ur adrenalines up , thats the excitement of it , and stands-out in your memory over the routines so familiar ones. In the end , you smile sweetly after.
Hi Marianne and Chris, I used to work (race engine builder) in a Racing Team in Cologne in Western Germany, so we often went to UK for Racing purpose. And as a Turk I have to have a visa in Brit.Ambessy and according to laws I have to bring several documents, my pay slip, pic 's, have to pay for the stamp etc, etc...and everytime the consulate officials where ashamed and thry to explain the laws and bla, bla, blaa.... But there where good people and I loved to travel trough England, nice people , nice countryside and I felt I`m in a living Museum....I say that in a nice manner and I understand your situation and stupid laws and friendly officials...but at the end it seems all well done. I like your vids and your openminded comments, you are nice and lovely people. A big thumb from me, go on and stay healthy. T.R. ERSOY ,Germany.
Thank you for your message - yes each country is different and as a travel blogger it is really important that we follow the rules of each of the countries that we visit - the rules are all so different, but with the internet and Ersel you can find almost anything out now 😂😍
Yesterday after watching your new video, I watched your first video in Turkey. Your first Turkish words. Your first impressions. It was all very nice. You wouldn't have guessed that you would be staying here for months. I hope our country has gained a good place in your heart. ;) We ❤️You
You are so brave and calm, well done. I wish we had your courage and determination. We are here in Spain with our Caravan and dreading our return to the UK in 5 weeks time. Well done and the very best of luck and safety in your travels. Paul and Julie.
It really was the last thing we wanted to do ... but we could see that it would all be closing again and felt it was more important to stay legal and law abiding for sure 🙌🌺 best wishes and stay safe too
When you said about getting lost. Have you tried what three words? If you mark the position of the van on your phone it will simply take you back there. Its also great if you are seperated at any time. You can pin point you position on the globe within 10 meters.
I was smiling as you were feeling nostalgic about revisiting places you’d passed through on your way south. It was charming! And then it all changed to gripping as you were sent back to booth 100. Wow! But all good now and we can relax .... I hope you are not too disillusioned with winter in the south of Turkey. It is often wet, which is why the vegetation is so green all year round, and it can be cold. It is not a winter sun destination from the UK for these reasons. But you can hit 20° in January occasionally, so not all bad. The further east you go, the colder it gets. Hence all the news reports from Iraq/Iran/Syria from years gone by of people freezing in makeshift camps. Don’t mean to be negative. And I hope you are fortunate. You deserve some good luck now.
We're so happy all problems are solved, paper works are done and you come back again your neighbourhood Türkiye.All decisions are right, everywhere under snow except the south part.waiting u there
Some border crossings are memorable often for all the wrong reasons! I cannot remember the border location but it was one from Bulgaria into Romania. The weather was baking hot and zero shade. After going through passport control and needing a Vignette I was directed to an area further on where I had to park my van and join a queue of folk outside slowly making their way toward a cabin. As if it wasn't bad enough outside in the baking heat with no shade, it was about to get even worse on eventually entering the cabin which had a tin roof.....so everyone began getting roasted and I was dripping sweat! It had taken me around 40 mins to get that far so imagine my horror when it eventually came my turn at the booth window and she asked for my passport. Thats the first and ONLY time i've been asked to show my passport when buying a Vignette and of course, I hadn't taken it with me, it was in the van...i'd just taken the essentials, vehicle details registration number etc. After sensing the frustration on my face and seeing the growing queue, she relented and let it go!
Wow - thanks for sharing ..... it certainly helps when you find officials with a kind heart indeed 🙌🙏😉 We are sure there are going to be many more stories in the future 👍🌺
My Goodness ... Chris , you're the Man and there is always a Woman behind that man , MARIANNE 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍.. you guys can't imagine how much I enjoy 😊 your adventures in TURKEY 🇹🇷 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇹🇷. Ersal is a Guardian Angel 👼 . 😘. By keeping yourselves composed and with that high level of teamwork , you guys accomplish against all odds . 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Lots of love ❤️ ,Respect and Appreciation for the TURKISH GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES for making life easier and safe for the overseas tourists visiting Turkey . The adventure goes on . 🚐 🐕 .
Awwh thank you and we absolutely love Captain Ersel - Turkey has been a wonderful experience and for us the best place to be during the global pandemic - we are grateful for all the new friends and amazed and in love with all the new adventures we have had .. and we are lucky and blessed to be together as we are the TREAD TEAM 😍🚐💐🇹🇷🙌 Best wishes and kind regards Marianne xx
You two are so good at promoting products. You explain things so well, speak slowly and clearly. If I had a product to advertise on the road I would hire the two of you.
You made it! Woo!! omg, border runs would be so stressful right now. Good thing they didn't quarantine you. Fingers crossed it's smooth sailing from here on out 😀
Yeah, you made it back. That was just crazy what you two had to go through. Hope you had a nice Christmas since it's Jan. 20th today here in the US. We have a new president! Looking forward to a better future. Take care now.
Well done. Agree about that gap between Computer Says No and Upper Official says ok. The poor sods in between are as clueless as you feel helpless. There ought to be a common word for it so that you and lower officials can use it, look at each other, and smile until things work out 👍💙❤️💙❤️
Do you have any idea how much your good spirits and working road sense of humor are helping the rest of us with our everyday conundrums - after the fact of the pandemic's worldwide attempt at a screeching halt....? Aahh!!
FIRST TIME I've seen Chris drive Trudy! Woo Hoo! You made it into Bulgaria.. another WOO HOO. And, finally back in Turkey... WOO HOO HOO! Glad you made it. God bless you both. Pastor Dean, Christian Life Church, Kissimmee FL USA!
Awwh thank you - yes he works so hard at filming / editing (about 16 hours per video) so this is my contribution to the adventure (and I love driving !) kind regards Marianne
Yesss so glad you made it!! We're all too familiar with a last minute border rush, now you can get back to enjoying your second home. Laughing at Marianne - "I'm just a control freak and I need to drive" 😂 xx
Hi Gavin - MOT is only required for your insurance that is UK based (and the countries on your green card) the rest of our insurances are purchased on the borders - of course if we can't continue East and need to get home through these countries - we will ship Trudy from Istanbul to UK and get her booked in on her arrival 👍🚐😉
@@TREADtheglobe me and my partner watch always. He even says, any tread the globe tonight, haha. Gives us ideas for our travels, when we get out of this covid. We are slightly older than you with an older teen, so have to wait a little longer. Take care. X
Yaayyy!!! Enjoy your days guys, now you have chance to enjoy more and explore more one of the most beautiful country and their people. Good luck everything from now and fingers crossed 🤞 😊
Phew! That was an adventure and a half! Good job explaining at the beginning, a lot of people seemed very confused after your last video as to what you were doing 😂
Goodness our anxiety raises each adventure you share (that’s ok cause we are so bored in our life)! Thank you, God bless you, keep the adventures coming! 🤙
Awwwh Thank you - it was a challenge (and I am not talking about sharing the driving 😂😂😂) but we are so blessed to have each other and a sense of humour !! Best wishes from us both xx 🤗💐
Yep - it is really tricky but important to take advice - and although there are lots of legalities that change and most are outdated online - we have found some great facebook groups and forums that explain the legalities and have them checked regularly to help with knowing what is what 😉🚐🌺
@@TREADtheglobe so nice to make epic friends as you travel we love watching your vlogs so much going on in them my mum who is 75 watches when she comes to visit and asks what you have been uptoo 👍🏴👍
Wow 😳 what a tricky business! Brilliant that you stay positive over something which is so complicated your both an inspiration, love your travel blogs xx
How nice you can easily enjoy the beauties and holiday opportunities of our country. I hope one day we can travel to your country too, without visa barriers that are impossible to pass.
Guys, Thanks for replying to my last question for the previous vlog,, Wish you upload more often rather than a month late :) I have been following you thinking that the vlogs near live or few days old ...
HI Max - the videos are usually almost live, but as explained in a previous video we decided to try and over film and give ourselves a bit of time off at Christmas / New Year .There is a weekly newsletter that gives realtime information and polarsteps that shows where we are live - we are almost live again now - sorry for your disappointment 👍 Marianne
Hello Chris & Maryanne! Oh Wow it really is complicated with all the permits and Licenses you need to have when you are staying at another country. Wish you all Good Vives. Tace care and be Safe.
Hi - Thanks for the message - We will not need an MOT if we continue East as it is only required for UK and EU countries on the green card .. all other insurance we can buy on the border with an UK MOT 👍 - but if we have to return to the UK if the world does not open up - we will ship from Istanbul to Bristol and book Trudy in for an MOT on arrival 🚐🙌🌺
Hello Our Dears Marianne and Chris Wow. The dream must go on. We hope everything went as you wished. we wish you a good trip with unforgettable memories in Turkey. With our best regards Nurie and Hassan Bijan Hamburg
JUST ANOTHER EASY DAY ON THE ROAD IT, MAKES THE UK LOOK EASY?? THANK YOU FOR THE RIDE SO FAR, I THINK ITS TIME TO INVEST IN A CHEAP PRINTER TO SAVE A LOT OF STRESS KEEP SAFE FROM SUNNY SKEGGY UK

Guys, Thanks for replying to my last question for the previous vlog,, Wish you upload more often rather than a month late :) I have been following you thinking that the vlogs near live or few days old ...
HI Max - the videos are usually almost live, but as explained in a previous video we decided to try and over film and give ourselves a bit of time off at Christmas / New Year .There is a weekly newsletter that gives realtime information and polarsteps that shows where we are live - we are almost live again now - sorry for your disappointment 👍 Marianne

Good job.
Phew ! you had me on the edge of my seat, glad you sorted. What you doing about your MOT ?
Hi - Thanks for the message - We will not need an MOT if we continue East as it is only required for UK and EU countries on the green card .. all other insurance we can buy on the border with an UK MOT 👍 - but if we have to return to the UK if the world does not open up - we will ship from Istanbul to Bristol and book Trudy in for an MOT on arrival 🚐🙌🌺
Dog food without a dog yeah that's a bit suspicious 😂😂
😂😂
