Welcome to my Channel,
My name is James and I live full time in my tiny van, however this is not just a van life channel. I enjoy travel, food and drink and making videos 🙂
When I turned 50 I decided I’d had enough of the rat race and working long hours just to pay rent and bills, life was passing me by and I needed a drastic change.
FAQ
Where is Helen?
Helen has a responsible full time job and two children so unfortunately she can’t join me on every trip. I really wish she could.
What equipment do you use?
My vlogging camera is a GoPro Hero 9 but I also use my pixel 6a phone and Lumix G80 camera for other footage
For editing, I used Premiere Pro on an old laptop but I’m saving to buy a more powerful computer.
Do you have children?
Yes I have a 6yr old daughter who lives with her mum but I see her quite a lot. I don’t usually put her on the vlogs and if I do, I block out her face for privacy reasons. I also have a grown up son.
How do you fund your lifestyle?
I don’t need as much to live these days since going full time van life but I receive a small percentage of income from the ads that KZbin put on the videos.
Why the sponsored videos?
I only accept sponsorship from companies I use and trust, this is my fulltime job and my income, it’s how I support my family. (I have Patreon if you prefer videos with no ads).
How do I contact you?
Please contact me here: [e-mail]

Im from Manchester but i love going to Liverpool. It's a great City.

Thanks mate. Good to hear, As some like to put us down from there. Cheers

It's nice to have positive things sad about Liverpool instead of negative things its nice to have people like you coming to Liverpool saying positive things about your stay in Liverpool people who have never been to Liverpool say negative things Liverpool is amazing place get ya selfs down to Liverpool you will have a different view of Liverpool

[@rickbaines8262]

I'm a Sheffielder, had to go to Liverpool a few years back, was expecting a crime ridden, run-down dump, that's all I had ever heard of the place...........couldn't be more wrong, I found it a smashing place, full of some of the friendliest people you'll find, plenty to do in the centre, not a ghost town like many places, pleasant walks.

[@mickporterporter2928]

Brilliant city friendly people

We didn't come to Liverpool to spend all day in the pub.... next stop, pub, next stop, Wetherspoons, next stop, pub. 😂😂😂 love it!

[@SamUrtonDesign]

I've never been to Liverpool, but from your video there seems to be more than a little bit of a New York City vibe to it. I think John Lennon said that Liverpool is very much like New York, for an English city. Maybe that's why he felt at home in NYC when he moved over there.

[@bythecurb]

He made a good point. Not that I've ever been to NYC

[@doubledigital_]

officaly new york is are sister city!

[@stephenjones9153]

You definitely need to goto the Museums to see the Mummies old cars trains and Aquariums in the main one and Library next door on your next visit all are free to enter also the Maritime Museum by the Liver Building. Glad you enjoyed your visit and hope you come back soon. 👍👍👍

I live in Birkenhead and Birkenhead Park was the inspiration to build Central Park in NYC... Sadly there is much more looked after than the original.

Liverpool is the best city for a weekend break in the uk by a long mile!

[@jamesanthony3072]

It’s close, but I would say Birmingham would give you a good run for your money… the food available from street food to Michelin stared restaurants, is definitely better in Brum as is some of its festivals ( St. Patrick’s Day, Pride weekend, Birmingham weekender arts festival etc )…. I think the people are both some of the friendliest and nicest in the UK though and both have old stereotypes usually from people who have never been….

[@carolinespivey8280]

Liverpool is one of our Fav city breaks. Try and find the Brass Monkey pub it's got a swing inside Helen will love it

[@BC1878]

As a scouser born n bred, really enjoyed this. The incorrect stereotypes of the 80’s couldn’t be more wrong. You realise that as soon as you come here. Liverpool is an amazing place. Not many cities can touch it for architecture and night life or the hospitality of its locals. Regarding the Adelphi, it’s one of Liverpool’s grandest buildings, it’s just in the wrong hands. The owners won’t sell up despite many offers to do so, it should be Liverpool’s most luxurious hotel in a prime spot. I’m sure it will end up in the right hands one day. Also, you seen the Anglican cathedral (the most spectacular) but you didn’t see the Wigwam cathedral. Theres 2. 😂 plenty to still see on your next visit.

[@ScouseWaspKilla]

Totally agree with you the Adelphi it should be Liverpools top hotel especially with the architecture and location of it an all 😢

[@scottohare8355]

I like Britannia hotels sound when your on the piss and just wanna get your head down cheap n cheerful

[@BC1878]

@@scottohare8355 I agree but that building is one of Liverpool’s grandest, the rooms haven’t been decorated for 30 years. It should be a luxury hotel given the building itself

Thanks, Helen and James never been to Liverpool, but after seeing your video, I’m gonna also put it on my list of places to to go it’s nice seeing both of you interact makes good videos. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for the next

The philharmonic is where james cordon suprised the customers when sir paul McCartney was playing behind the curtain .Paul McCartney and James Corden's Carpool Karaoke team served up one of the biggest surprises in the celebrity world of recent times. People drinking in the Philharmonic Dining Rooms in Liverpool were treated to one of the most low key homecoming gigs from the Liverpudlian superstar!

Fabulous. Just went back in time to 1980. -1986. The Albert Dock, I remember the first docks to be regenerated and I worked at a stall in there about 1985. You went to 3 of the pubs we used to frequent as students. The philharmonic or The Phil as we used to call it has some interesting male toilets. Fancy Victorian urinals! Worth a visit. Ye hole in ye wall, the grapes were all part of the student scene. I remember the bar person in ye hole snatching away ash trays at last orders and when we asked what to do with our ash he said “ the world is your ash tray” pointing at the floor! Different times 😂. Liverpool looks like it’s had a bit of money thrown at it since then. Thank you for the memories. ❤❤

[@ronniechambers2555]

My favourite drinking city, it used to be Manchester, before it attempted to become the London of the North, Liverpool still has that down to earth feel about it. Scousers are a friendly bunch, though if you meet a bad one, they will be very bad. You seemed to have enjoyed yourselves, despite an initial poor choice of pubs. When you were stood at the traffic lights, there was an Okells of the Isle Of Man pub right behind you, you would've liked that. It is grade 2 listed and is next door to another pub the Lady of Mann. My favourites are the Baltic Fleet, Lion Tavern, Cracke and the Belvedere. Great Vlog.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, we'll be back sometime and will be able to check those out :-)

[@tangerinearmy557]
