Forty and Free: Norway (Travel Film)

These two are not your tour guides. Jessica Peterson and Marianela Pereyra are both forty, fearless, and single. They travel the world producing video content for big brands, but just couldn’t give a f*ck about the trappings of women their age — the white picket fence, the 2.5 kids, or the armchair husbands. Their lovable cameraman Fraser James delivers comic narration in ‘The Voice of God’ style as these two explore the planet.

Since this was filmed in 2019, Marianela got hitched in Denmark, delivered a bundle of joy named Max, and moved to Germany.

He’s still living the travel dream, shooting Yacht Week and episodes for Red Bull.
