How We Got Here:
We're Tal & Mads - a Nurse & Teacher couple from Toronto, Canada who fell in love while traveling the world together. When we adopted our dog Bowie, we decided the best way to continue traveling would be in our self built camper van, Billie. We hit the road in January 2022 and drove all the way through the United States and into Mexico. We thought creating vlogs would be a great way to keep our friends and family updated while being a wonderful memento of our travels. And now, here we are sharing anything and everything that we think will make you smile.

Wow! What a paradise!

omg I was at ABAs the other day and Daniel told me about you two! This is something I always wanted to do and have done in a 70's 80' 90's etc kind of way involving sailboats, PT Cruisers, two girls and two dogs kind of way. I am old as dirt now and enjoy my own bed everynight but always loved my adventures and can now live vicariously through you two. Highly recommend Vancouver to Mexico and also Route 66 and don't discount an east coast prowl. I am doing the big subscribe!!
This brought back so many memories! We rented the Hilux with Nomad America too, thag rig was SUCH a beast! And those guys were so helpful. So stoked to follow your travels there 😊
Oh no! I hope your drone survived. You ALWAYS make me smile... so big. Love you both in my soul. Can't wait for Costa Rica Part 2. 🌈💖🧡💛💚💙💜💋

Well, I just traveled from the cold of Canada with the Vanwives down to Costa Rica you beautiful women. A normal Sunday morning for me, when you post a video that is, lol. Love the van you got. I'm hoping you don't have a lot of problems with it. As for the river crossing, I can think of a number of people in DC you can use to test the waters.

Hi you two, how about putting "learning to drive a stick shift" on your bucket list? I learned automatic (on Vancouver Island) a thousand years ago .. but have been driving manual for years and years. I would never go back to driving automatic. And here in Germany (where I have been living for over 30 years) most cars are manual drive. This doesn't fit to this video .. but thanks for showing me so much of Canada that I never saw while living there! Great videos!!! 💛🌈😎
