  • From sitting in the B&Q parking lot to changing our burnt out tail light, the first 24 hours to vanlife was... interesting and eventful to say the least 😅 Now that we have the hard stuff done, we are able to officially start our adventure through the UK. First up, Wales!

    A lovely touch from the food truck guy with the pay-it-forward breakfast ❤

    I just found your channel. I’m an American who has lived in the UK for 15 years and I love seeing your perspective of this place! I hope you enjoy it. The UK is beautiful. I’ll deffo keep watching.

      Hey!!! Welcome :)
      We always laugh about how DIFFERENT the US and UK are even though we were all one not that long ago. I think every single day we say "this is ____???" wherever we are because we had no idea it was this beautiful! We have a lot of fun videos coming up, so we're so happy you're along for the ride!
      Where are you originally from in the states? 😄

    If you haven't figured it out by now--- the culture gap between the USA and Europe is completely different!!!!!!!! People in Europe are genuinely interested in their QUALITY OF LIFE rather than their financial wellbeing. I am an Irish citizen but have lived in the U.S. for forty plus years. When I go to social functions people ask "What do you do for a living/work. In Ireland/England people ask "What do you do for fun/recreation???". The emphasis is on your wellness not on your wealth. I hope you take in the culture of your journey and learn how humans can have happiness in many different ways. Enjoy your trip. Be safe and be good to each other!!!

      For sure!!! I’d have to completely agree with you! Thanks so much 😁

    How crazy that you stopped at Stockbridge 😂

    • @kyleandmadie
      @kyleandmadie  Před 11 měsíci +2

      right?? We saw that it was right next to where we were going and HAD to go. Why not spend the first night in the town twinned with your home? 😅

    You started with an unpleasant incident, then it must only be good. I always admire and have fears when someone starts driving on the left for the first time. Good luck and don't let the bad start disturb you in your further journey.

    • @kyleandmadie
      @kyleandmadie  Před 11 měsíci +2

      We completely agree! We said it could only get better from there 😁 it was definitely daunting driving on the left side at first, but we keeping saying how when we go over to Europe and have to drive on the right side again, it’ll feel weird!

    Just found your channel. That was a lot to cope with in a new country when you didn't know the best places to go. I'm so glad someone took pity on you and gave you a freebie. What a nice guy. Hopefully, it will be all plain sailing from now on. And yes, you will definitely have to get used to smaller roads here in the UK lol.

    • @kyleandmadie
      @kyleandmadie  Před 11 měsíci +2

      Being in a new country where we don't know the stores and what each one has definitely did add to the stress! You take for granted when you're at home and know exactly what store to go to and where to look in that store... Thank you so much for watching! We really appreciate it :)

    Welcome to the UK, enjoy you adventures! I've subscribed and will see how you get on. Glad you started your journey in my neck of the woods, Salisbury (pronounced like Sorls-bury by the way 😉). Much of my campervan came from that B&Q 😉 and Funky Burgers are really good 😋👍

    • @kyleandmadie
      @kyleandmadie  Před 11 měsíci +2

      we can't even begin to tell you how wrong we pronounce things here... good to know 😅 thanks for coming along!! We are continuously more and more surprised about how BEAUTIFUL the UK really is! ❤️

    I wish you the best for your travels during van life. I remember our talks at the farm when Cameron and I were going in with our dog to shop. You have made it happen. I'm sorry that there has been a few "bumps" in the road. I believe that good karma will come to you after staying in Stockbridge. We wish you well from your/our home town.

    £60 pounds for a tank of petrol isn't bad in the UK regarding that you are driving a big van = big tank. There was a point 6 months ago where it was $10 per gallon

    • @kyleandmadie
      @kyleandmadie  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Unfortunately we only filled the tank up about 1/3 of the way… it costs about £160 to fill all the way up 🥲

    • @matthewwood9596
      @matthewwood9596 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Could be worse with recent prices. Don't fill up on motorways fuel is much more and also go to supermarket stations for cheapest

    Blimey, I hope you got the handbrake repaired ( I assume your did) because your van would not be considered roadworthy over here.
