I just spent the past week in Venice with Peter Dixon Art for his first international residency, at the La Storta Gallery as part of the Venezia Contemporanea program.

We want to send a big THANK YOU to Dovrat and Michal for hosting us in this beautiful city, and for providing artists with a such a great opportunity for their creative development.

Have you ever been to Venice? What was your favourite part?

It was such an incredible way to celebrate the completion of his 29 day painting challenge, and successfully surpassing our £1000 Crowdfunder target for the Huntington's Disease Association in memory of my uncle Mike Clarkson. Thank you to everyone who helped us hit that goal!!!

I’m on my way home a day early now because I was offered a drop out slot for my steroid injection/epidural this evening. Thank goodness for relatively cheap european flights, and family willing to run me around and take care of me so Peter didn’t have to rush back as well.

We fell in love with Venice this week, and it most certainly will not be our last trip back.

Now, off to get a stupid needle.

P.S. Big love to my cousins Chad and Kathy for sharing this adventure with us, and for this picture! What a week!

Must get better at setting up the camera to get B-Roll shots of us together - this is the only one we got, and It’s one of my favourite shots from the trip 🤦‍♀️

We are filming the last part of our vlog on medical tourism in Hungary after work today, and we are really excited to put this one out to the world!!!

This trip was a turning point for us and our health. Life changing. We hope we can help others by sharing our experiences.

Have you ever thought about travelling for medical care? What has stopped you? What would be your biggest concern?

Let us know so I can make sure we address any questions that might not be on our radar ❤️

MRI is done!

I was 45 minutes early, so they saw me early. Nearly cried in the machine because I couldn’t believe how efficient the process was. A stark contrast to my experience with the NHS.

I walked out with the CD of my scans 2 minutes before my original appointment was supposed to begin. Now the wait for the written results, which should only be a little over a week if I’m lucky!

Still a bit in shock really.

After my MRI, we went and had a giant bath with a couple hundred other people at the Szechenyi Thermal Baths. It was lovely.

It’s been a whirlwind of a trip, and we’re both looking forward to visiting Budapest again under better circumstances.

Can’t wait to get our video edited up, so we can share our experience with Medical Tourism with you, and break down the costs for anyone who’s considering doing the same.

Well, I’ve gone and done it.

An hour ago I booked an MRI in Budapest, Hungary for this coming Wednesday.

Got flights, airport park and ride and cheap central accommodation in Budapest booked. Sorted out getting to and from the airport on the other side as well.

We’ve been MIA on this channel for a while, dealing with immigration and life… but we are planning on vlogging the experience and breaking down the costs of private medical care in Hungary and medical tourism on a budget.

Got any major questions about this topic that you think we should cover? Please let us know!

Also, have you ever been to Budapest? Are there any MUST sees on our one day off?

Barring in mind that one of us can’t do anything very active/is dealing with back pain… so no gruelling hikes for us in this trip.

Spent today sitting outside in our garden, researching topic ideas for new content on this channel!

Looking forward to recording a new video tomorrow.

For now, here’s a picture of a chicken in a pub garden 🪴

If you really want stuffed peppers for dinner, and the only thing you have to stuff it with is gluten free Mac and Cheese, and you’re wondering if you should try it… the answer is YES.

Delicious 🤤

Will definitely be doing this again.

We got back to our roots earlier this week and played an open mic night with our buddy Jesse McCloy, and it was SUCH a treat to share a stage again. Even if it was only for 2 songs. Looking forward to next week already!

Vlog update: I’ve been really struggling with technology on this trip and I’ve had a Vlog complete and ready to export for OVER A WEEK, but it keeps failing to explore.

Looking forward to putting more content out!

Got a new Vlog in the works that will be out soon, and have been thoroughly enjoying slowing down and spending time with friends and family this past couple of weeks.

How have you been doing?

Happy hump day! What are you up to?

We are enjoying some Canadian cider cocktails after a great day with family, and a killer editing session.

This next Vlog was a doozy to put together, and it drops tomorrow 🎉

We made it to Canada safely, and are all settled in!

Just finished editing up one of the vlogs we filmed pre-travelling, on how we prepared ourselves and our businesses to come to Canada for a month. Will be premiering later on today :)

Can’t wait to film some local adventures in my home town, and share more of our Canadian life with you ❤️
