As we continue our attempt to drive around the world in Trudy our campervan, we leave Albania and cross the border into North Macedonia. The weather takes a turn for the worse and we explore the lake city of Ohrid, as we continue our journey south.
This is by far the most challenging OVERLANDING VANLIFE Adventure travel series that we have ever done (and possibly on youtube) one that will definitely change us for ever more. Driving around the world is going to be both a physical and mental challenge and one that will test us to the limit.
One thing is for sure this is going to be a road trip that you wont want to miss, the ultimate vanlife road trip. So make sue you click subscribe and the bell to make sure you don’s miss an episode.

Hope you are all ok where ever you are during these crazy times – and if any of you are quarantined then we hope we have given you a small bit of escape. So if you had a choice where to park up, would you choose a quiet beach, lovely woods or a scenic view – let us know. Chris & Marianne xx 🌳🌊🚎🌍💕
I'm so happy to find this channel ❤️
Wish you luck and lots of fun and beautiful experiences on your way ✌️
You guys are inspiring! Thank you 😇
Well done guys lots of љубов фром Македонија.
, Take care, love your videos 🇲🇰❤️
oh my gosh, was that a donkey just plodding along the road all by itself at 3:45? // Marianne and Chris, (I know, Months ago but) thanks for your thoughts on the possible dangers on the corona virus and how you're caring for it. I'm loving and living it as if it was in March 2020! But it seems as if the snow would be a welcome change, it too is beautiful! // But such a beautiful morning. Was this location historically in Alexander's Macedonia?
I luv Macedonia. Thank u. Cant wait to get there. 💝💝
you're both amazing!
Mariann is driving great! Good luck and safe journey…….oh-rid….OHH-RID…..
Love all of those. Lived by the sea and in the countryside. Stunning.
It's more beautiful than ohrid.
Hi, just a quick question? Are you in Greece or in North Macedonia? Its really confusing when in the video you say that you are in Macedonia…What Macedonia?
Hello from Macedonia ❤️ and thank you ❤️
Waaaa we were charged over €150 at the border of North Macedonia so we went via Bulgaria instead…think our van is smaller than yours too. I think it just depends which insurance broker you get 🙄
❤❤❤
The drone shots with the snow reminded us of Scotland. Lovely walk to the Fort and the munchies looked yummy. Who’d of thought you’d be setting light to the van with Snickers bar 😂😂 Trev n Sue
Hello! hope you are well ✌❤✌ sending you this message from our new van 😁😁😁
Great video! The best time to visit Ohrid is the summer. I believe that church is also home to some wild Peacocks too. Also the proper pronunciation for Ohrid is Oak-reed.
wow the water looks so nice! love the quality of your camera!
Please no more hugging and or shake hands with strangers 🙏
The denar is not convertible. Spend it there, it’s ohrid h is like a x. LOL.ohrid has a microclimate it’s not bitter cold. Ohrid is a summer thing not really a winter thing. Sorry. The Macedonians are a beautiful people well liked by all. Known for their music. The poets of the balkans,
Let’s not dwell on the dark clouds in life at the moment..Id rather just keep enjoying watching two very ordinary lovely people live out everyone else’s dreams..so come on everyone keep the chins up & pull together, but ultimately stay safe & look after those most vulnerable. Fingers crossed for you guys 🤞 keep the flag of dreams flying 🙏
Stay safe , stay healthy get your thermals on 🥶😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
WARNING TO VIEWERS: If you are a TtG drinking game participant, and SNOW is a trigger word, DO NOT PROCEED lest you suffer the mother of all 3-day hangovers! "That cloud looks like SNOW!!!" "Yes, THAT'S A SNOWFLAKE! OMG!" "We're surrounded by SNOW! We might get stuck in the SNOW!" …Fast forward, 20 seconds…and…"Well, the SNOW has melted….but LOOK AT THAT ICE IN THE PUDDLE!" You guys crack me up….
Beautiful 💙
nice video as usual.
Hi Marianne and Chris There didn't seem to be many people around
The lunch looked amazing for £2.66
Least you're not having to fight for good lol 😂
Hope you're having a lovely evening
