Our Story
Footsteps & Tyretracks
How did we get here?
In 1999, Marc’s love affair with Bali began, setting the stage for the remarkable journey that awaited him and Vee. Fast forward to 2002, Marc and Vee united, bringing together their families into a lively household of seven. The intricate tapestry of their shared adventures started to unfold, weaving love, family, and an insatiable desire for exploration.
The magnetic pull of Bali led them to a picturesque wedding on the island in 2004, marking the beginning of their joint passion for the landscapes of Asia. Eager to share this magic, the following year they introduced their children to the enchanting beauty of Bali, creating enduring family memories.
Their nomadic spirit took them to Brisbane, Australia, in 2009. However, the global crash forced a redirection back to the UK. Undeterred by setbacks, Marc and Vee’s resilience shone through when, in 2012, a job opportunity in Busselton, Western Australia, beckoned them once again. Unfortunately, family illness necessitated another return to the UK, prompting the couple to rethink their approach to adventure.
A promise made during challenging times led to the acquisition of a campervan, marking the beginning of their exploration of the UK. The journey into the UK VW scene commenced in 2012 with the purchase of their first VW T4, opening up new horizons for their travel experiences. Balancing UK escapades with trips to Indonesia and Thailand, the dynamics of their family shifted as the children embarked on their individual journeys.
The creative spark ignited in 2020 during the lockdown, as Marc envisioned a more serious approach to sharing their adventures. This vision materialized into the Footsteps & Tyretracks channel and blog, serving as a canvas for Marc’s love of photography and simple videos, capturing the essence of their travels.
As 2024 unfolds, Marc and Vee plan to celebrate Marc’s 60th birthday with a return to Asia, fulfilling his long-held dream of experiencing Raffles. Vee, once the hesitant participant in videos, is gradually finding her confidence in front of the camera.
Their journey, documented through Footsteps & Tyretracks, is a testament to the enduring spirit of exploration. From Marc’s initial encounter with Bali in 1999 to the present day, their story resonates with the belief that age is no barrier to the joy of discovery. Footsteps & Tyretracks stands as a beacon of encouragement for those seeking to embrace the adventure that awaits, no matter the year on the calendar.
