Chris and Marianne Fisher are YouTube sensations who vlog their way around the globe to millions of followers, who quit their respectable day-jobs for the lives of digital nomads.

With videos such as '24 hours in a Malaysian hideaway', 'driving in an African country we've never heard of' and 'Canada's 1000 mile dirt road to the Arctic Ocean', the pair tell John Bray how, when health issues to their nearest and dearest reshaped their lives, they ditched the day-to-day for the extraordinary.
When health issues to their nearest and dearest reshaped their lives, they ditched the day-to-day for the extraordinary.

For seven-and-a-half years, Chris and Marianne have been living life on the road, swapping their house in Ironbridge for Trudy, a 20-year-old two-wheeled-drive campervan, which they've driven across the globe and back again.

Whether it's the savannas of southern Africa, America's most unforgiving tracks or the North Korean border, there are few places on the planet that this couple, better known as Tread The Globe, haven't been to, and showcased to their followers.

They're currently in Malaysia fixing their newest campervan, Trevor, who'll be at the helm of their next great - and grandest - adventure to date.
