They Told Us Not to Come Here
Make sure you check out Harry’s next time you’re at your local favourite stores, like Target, Walmart or Costco and let me know what you pick up!
We are crossing the border from the USA into Mexico. SO many people told us it was unsafe, called us crazy, and said we shouldn't do this. We're here to show that there is more beyond the border than just danger and corruption. Baja, Mexico is filled with wonderful locals, beautiful landscapes, and so so so much more.

OUR STORY:
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.

Awe!!! What a kind comment! Thank you SO much for watching. We are so grateful for your support!!
I loved the story about your patient. It resonates with me, we had to stop our vanlife adventures because my wife had a heart transplant and suffered a stroke. She wasn't able to bathe for a month. When her OT gave her first shower we all cried because of how happy it made her feel. We take little things for granted and I'm sure you really did make her feel better. It was sweet that you thought of your patient's needs during your 20-minute downtime. Thanks for doing what you do. Mads is funny "Bathe all of the street people". lol

Both of you have so much passion and compassion and bring glowing energy everywhere you go!!! What a 🌅 sunrise!!! Thanks for taking us along you 2 beautiful partners❤❤ oh and BOWIE!!
I'm nursing a broken ankle so your adventures are a welcomed distraction,also Thanx for the laughs and the educational value this all brings.Blessings from Quebec

THANK YOU 🙌🏼 We are so happy you enjoy our videos!!
I so enjoyed this video. Loved the bandana look 😅 the shower story was beautiful. Honestly i think many of us take too much for granted until we don't have it anymore. Showers always rejuvenate me. I love how Bowie sits on the board. He's too cute. Oops, he fell in..😂 looks like an amazing time. As always, be safe, have fun and thank you for making us smile. It's such a pleasure watching you two ❤😊 happy Sunday

Never discount the healing power of hot water, there's definitely magic there. You're missing out on the 10cm of snow we have - enjoy the sun and warmth!

Hot water and hot weather definitely do magic for us both haaha! Thanks for watching!!
I’m sooooooooo jealous that you were at Tecalote - my absolute favorite beach. When I lived in LaPaz, I never saw so many vans on the beach. Things have certainly changed there! Disfruta tu tiempo en Baja Sur🇲🇽❤️
Hahahah Mads saying "yeah it makes me want to go shower all the street people" has me in tears 😂 Is there a sentence that is more Mads than that?
Your smiles after you got down there. Light up my day. Thank You 😍
Omg Bowie on the paddle board ❤

Just the best, right?? Thanks for watching!
I have personally been a patient such as you described. In my opinion, Nurses are angels on earth! You two Deserve this vacation. God bless you both!
It’s true about showers when hospitalized. I once was in ICU for 2 weeks. When I went into a private room that shower was everything. You are an angel.
You make travelling in a confined space look easy. It's clear you two love each other and get along. That explains the mostly calm and happy videos.
This makes me sooo happy watching this! My partner, pooch (of course) and I are did this trip last year, love to see it. Keep the good vibes comin 🌞🌊🚐
Yayyyyyy bring on the adventure gals!!!!!!
With all you packed in the van, I hope there was room for some sunscreen lotion. No sunburns wanted. Just fun and relaxing in the warm sun! 😎
Gals, get a code reader for the van. It plugs in to the same port the mechanic uses to read your check engine light. They're Bluetooth compatible & will tell you what a code means & how urgent any repair might be. Some will even give you estimates of repairs based on your model. They're not very expensive & well worth the added peace of mind. Safe travels

Bahh I know! It’s on our shopping list. Okay okay you’re right we need that asap!!

There are so many elements of this video that I love, top of the list was the shower chat though. And Mads put the cherry on top when she said she wants to shower all the street people LOL
Yes made me smile and did you know Talia is a very famous name in Mexico 👌🌹

That was a great shot of Bowie on the Paddle boat.
I love traveling with you two. Your love of life shines bright in all you do. Working in healthcare also I could feel your story about the patient lightening up after their shower. Have seen that glow also. Be safe and have fun!
I smiled the entire vid! It’s so good to get out of the northern winter for a bit! Lovely sun and sea! Have a wonderful time ladies! ❤🌻
You sure did make me smile. Enjoy!
I tell you what, like most people probably, I fast forward through the ads but Tal, you are a natural. Maybe you missed your calling. Awesome video as usual. Oh, and regarding the showers, you two are gorgeous people for the way you both default to wanting to help others.
I'm glad you made it to Mexico safely. Looking forward to watching your adventures
I enjoyed your storytelling and how it felt when you finally got out on the water. Your bandana is cute. 😊
Happy sunday ladies and Bowie! You have no idea how much joy you brought me today. Im currently fighting double pneumonia and a a few pretty scary moments. Thank you for giving me this time to visit the beautiful tropical beaches with. Sun, sand, love and laughter is the best medicine. Much love to you 3.

Your shower story with your patient reads so true. A shower is almost a mini vacation after a busy day. Great video and enjoy. Looking forward to the next video.

Man! I wonder if the van wives are down there somewhere. They revealed they were property shopping in baja in January and closed a deal in February.
Tal's bandana looks like she's going to run with the Bulls, you need to go to Pamplona Spain for that.
Mama told me not to come … Three Dog Night would be proud. Soak up those rays!
awesome
What an Epic journey! Great to see the big smiles back on your faces.... My other half has recently started watching with me and she said "how much Garlic is in the Curry?", I tell her the simple answer according to Tal is "Twice as much as you think"
Just loved the vlog as always! Bowie was so cute on the paddle board. Stay safe, and I can't wait to see you three next week.😊❤

I love her for wanting to bathe all the street people. Good hearts are good.
Nice video, great adventure, planning our trip March 1. Those seats in your van look very comfortable. Where are you from?
💗💗💗
❤❤❤
Love your videos! Your cold shower bit made me want to share a tip. My wife and I were camping near the Salton Sea and she went to take a shower. I told her to come back to the van if it was cold. She didn’t return for awhile so I figured it must be a hot shower. Nope. Here’s the deal. We have a BOSS portable water heater. So I can take it into a cold shower and still have a hot shower. Just wanted to share that tip. Don’t suffer like my wife. Always have a hot shower 😊
Great to see you back in Baja; such veteran vanlifers 🥰😉 Btw, is Bowie’s green coat a viable life jacket?
Another spectacular video for us Ladies. Mads I love that look Tal gave you when she said mature. Then when you were blocking the Sun and your arm was up I saw the Wild tattoo. If it’s not too personal could you tell us the meaning behind it.
