I'm going back mega years when we hired a motor home in Scotland and we're the first customers to be allowed to take it out the country 😂 we did a huge asda shop with dried foods etc like bisto! It was 1982 and we traveled thru France, Italy and Switzerland we stopped at millionaires villages etc and bought fresh bread and milk and eggs from locals no mobile phones in these days went to Grasse to see the perfume making, cannes and nice then monte carlo paris We drove down coast to Italian riviera amalfi, rome pisa etc went over the Italian alps into Switzerland using only maps 😂but what an amazing holiday we had and was away for a month and we did it on a budget eating out and in the van Wish it was me doing what your doing! But I'm way too old now Just have the time of your life This was always my dream to retire and travel in a motor home but had bad accident and I can hardly walk so I'm sitting in my recliner watching you! ❤Hugs Cathy from Scotland xx ❤️

All the best guys for your new full time adventures. Love your new companion, Chico, he is super cute and only takes up a wee space, unlike our 40kg German Shepherd Ava. Always look forward to your videos, you are both so down to earth and entertaining. ❤

Congratulations mark and Lisa on your new life hope it all goes well for you both and love the new member of your family l did comment a while back about you having a new dog all the best to you all ❤

absolutely BRILLIANT news guys. If anyone can do permenant van life then Mark and Lisa can! I cant wait to see your vanlife adventures.... Oh my gosh, I proper cried when I saw Chico. what a gorgeous little soul. I know it must have been really hard to get another dog after the loss of Woodie but you guys have a lot of love to give to Chico and he will love to travel with you guys. Let you into a secret.... I've been manically decorating my house to sell it. I was going to get a caravan where my sister and bro in law now live but now they are gonna move to spain so I've thought about selling my house and getting a big van like Sam's crafter and living in it myself....speaking of Sam, he convinced me to take Viv-i-van up to the meetup in C ockermouth but I guess if youre back in Europe you wont be going. I was determined to let you know in person what a big part you and Mark, and woodie had been in my life on my road to van life. I guess I'll tell you another time in person. Thanks for a brilliant channel.Thanks for sharing the news and thanks for introducing us to the future star of NOT.. love and best wishes as always and have a great trip- Kenny

Good luck with your new adventures. We're looking forward to seeing what you're up to, Chico is a little beauty 😍

Chico is so cute and congratulations to you both on your new journey in life. I would love to see the Black Forest in Germany as use to live in Germany in a place called wegburg Rhiendahlan and there is so many beautiful places too Maastricht and venlo in Holland and viersen is where I had my son xx

I've watched the Chico reveal about ten times now, makes me laugh each time! Love watching your travels you're so genuine. My wife and I had a lot of similar trips and enjoyed Motorhoming as much as you two. It's brilliant that you're going full time, hope you have a lot of fun and find plenty of Chinese take aways! X

Been watching you for a while but didn't realise that I wasn't subbed. So new sub here😊. How exciting for your future!! You make some lovely, interesting vlogs and I, for one, am looking forward to seeing your future travels. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 🤗xx

Good luck to you both with your new adventure with your cute little puppy xx

Well that was a shocker. I wish you every happiness. Your living the dream northerners, enjoy.🎉

Good luck and best wishes on your new adventures and great to see Chico!, Best wishes from Bruce and Linda.

I just knew there would be the pattering of tiny paws! He's so cute! Would love to see you explore Italy. Another great video as always. X

omg, we are just contemplating doing what you have announced tonight. we off to France in two and a half weeks and staying a month. we have a little dog, max who is 11 this year so want to make sure he is going to be ok with the heat and everything. love your little Chico and cannot wait for more footage guy love watching. we are Northerners too living in Bishop Auckland Durham xx

Godd luck on your new adventure. Me and my wife recently returned from Belgium, Luxembourg & Belgium. Our favourite places were along the river Mosel. Scenery superb, cycle routes(traffic free) good for scooters. Were ever you end up hope you have a great time🚐🚐🚐

Thanks for being yous! All the very best for the future . Sue n Mike X

Hi wow well done, if me and other half were not so old we would of done this. Oh my lord just seen chico ❤❤ I’m happy to see we’re ever you both go, love following you both xx Happy Travels to you both ❤️

Good show Guys 🎉 . Thanks again. Missed Chico ❤

Great news guys, we are currently doing the same, the house is empty with a few jobs to do before it goes on sale, we are doing it slightly differently we are living in a caravan on a seasonal pitch and travelling in our motorhome, that way we have a portable base we can move should we wish. Chicco is so cute, can't wait to see your adventures. BTW visit Strasbourg on the border of France and Germany influenced by both. Happy travels.

Not been subscribed to your channel very long but I enjoy your videos. Congratulations on your new adventure , life is for living, love chico super sweet. Xx

Congratulations to both of you, great decision as life is too short to miss out on your dreams. Knew a friend who sold his house and his part share in a yacht about 13 years ago, done Spain, France, Italy etc. This took him about 5 years, came back to buy a bigger vehicle, then up and went to do the states and Canada. So congratulations again and all the best for your future adventures. Take care.

Brilliant so happy for yous. We retired when we were 54 love travelling, but we still have our house. going to get a visa next year. So happy for you getting another dog. Xxxx

I wish every success and happiness in your new venture

❤ Chico is adorable !😊

Calais through Belgium, Germany - Rhein and Mosel Rivers, the Slaws did Romantiche Strasse., Black Forest, Austria is also beautiful, Italian Northern Lakes. Really looking forward to seeing your adventures.

Congratulations on the new addition to the family he is a beauty. Germany down south mosel area then on to Austria maybe. Good luck on your travels, love watching your adventures.

I'm so happy for you, and really envy you being able to travel full time around Europe, I am in Australia and have only ever been to Wales, England, Las Palmas and Cape Town, but that was only for a short time when we emigrated to Australia, it took 6 weeks as we went by ship, I am really showing my age here, nobody seems to go to Holland or Italy, maybe you could go there, I love your new little dog Chico, I hope you find some tiny little clothes for him and he brings you much joy, I love you guys, you're so down to earth, happy travels.

Wow, that's great. We are planning on doing the same very soon. Good luck with your travels. Look forward to seeing your journey 😀 ❤

Can’t wait for the sun to come back, great video guys xx

Good luck Mark and Lisa and chico you won't look back your vlogs are amazing I was chocked up when I saw chico he beautiful think all different Chinese takeaways mark going to find 😅 will love watching were you go xx

Next summer try the wild Atlantic way in Ireland. No affect on your 90 days either. It's an epic journey with spectacular views

Goodluck on your adventures, chico is absolutely gorgeous 😍, I've never been but always wanted to go to Austria ,wherever you end up have the best time ever ,from a fellow northerner x

Best wishes and we are looking forward to your new adventures. Good luck!

Brave move, I hope it all works out for you both 👍🏻

Well done for taking the plunge I hope everything goes well with the sale of your home. Anyway you've got to head to Cyprus for a couple of months because it's the island of love. Best of luck to the pair of you. Chris from England.

Good luck guys !!! Hope all goes well with the house sale. Cat clothing is the best way to go - certainly was for our Chua’s. Would love to see what Croatia is like 😊

Loving your vlogs and im not normally one to comment, but how can i not ! OMG Chico is precious ,enjoy the love a chihuahua gives as they are like no other breed weve ever known.Our two travel all over with us and love it 🙂We recommend Luxembourg, weve just returned from a trip and loved it,Beautiful scenery, amazing Aires, Some great shops and takeaways and very friendly to vanlifers..We did Germany too and it was also lovely, but Luxembourg around the german Border is our new Favourite

Congratulations on the gorgeous new addition 🐶😍 and the very best of luck going full time... wish we had the bottle 😏 love your vlogs👌👍 🍾🍾🍾

Congratulations to you both good for you and why not life is for living ❤

well done, life is too short, go for it... GOD BLESS CHICO XXXX

Hi. It was lovely to meet you both and the cutie pie Chico the chihuahua. He is so munchable. You will find that he won't grow much bigger. My chihuahua, Tyson, still only takes a size xxs. He is half the size of my cat. 😂 I would recommend Portugal. I have been twice. It is a beautiful place, and, very reasonable. Wherever you decide. Have a wonderful time. Can I ask, how are you dealing with having a postal address for insurance purposes. Happy travels with Chico. 🤗💗🙏

Don't blame you guys. Go for it. ❤️🙂
