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?

No way does Helen look anywhere near 50. Happy Birthday! It’s Devine to see you both on holiday in January. Living the way of life we would all love. Fantastic. I raised a glass to you both. Safe travels.

[@LindsayLoobyLoo]

Another fabulous video from you both. Helen doesn’t look 50. If I had to guess I would say she is 39. She is amazing. You both are. On your videos I feel like I am there with you. Sadly I took poorly when I was 50 and can no longer go on hikes or holidays & thanks to your fantastic videos I am re living all the great holidays and hikes I used to go on. Thank you so much to you both. xx

[@sueterry7300]

Awww that was a lovely birthday vlog for your Helen. Many (late) birthday wishes. Xx sending hugs

[@alisonstorey3309]

Love watching your channel, so natural......enjoying life to the max and creating memories

[@rupertbath2748]

What is lovely about the videos with the two of you together is a) such a wonderful dynamic but b) it is lovely to see two people in middle age so clearly in love with each other as if they were in late teens or twenties and I think it it brings a lot of joy and comfort that there is whatever age as you get older a happy ever after. I still really enjoy your solo vids James, I really enjoyed your Cornish trip and when you went around where they filmed Kes (I forwarded that who a friend who sadly passed away last month but loved that film and really enjoyed that video)

[@johnwestwood5111]

Happy Birthday Helen, lovely video,and Both of you include your audience when you make the videos,it's as though we are there with you,and that's not easy to do, you are both just natural,so well done and fantastic dance moves from you both. Best wishes. 🍷🍺🎸🎺💐 John & Margaret.

[@tonyceltic8009]

[@lindakearns3565]

Amazing blog James love Tenerife but also love Benidorm we are very lucky that we can go on lovely holidays to lots of amazing places so enjoy ur beautiful Helen’s birthday holiday time together xxxxxx❤❤🎉🎉

[@kaikito7662]

The contrasts just serve to magnify how wonderful, and wonderfully engaging and entertaining, your intros are James. You. Are .Just. So. Good! I'm here in Edinburgh. I'm walled-in by a zillion duvets. And I'm mentally preparing myself for the snow storms set to pound Edinburgh within the next few days. So it is/ was hardly surprising that I embraced this video. Thank you for curing my amnesia.....it's been so cold, dark and raining for so long now that I'd forgotten that there was such a mystical creature as the Sun. Last thing: thank you to the both of you for making me smile. Watching both of you together is an absolute pleasure.

[@peterdent8216]

loved your Tenerife vlog, reminded me of many canary island holidays.you couple are great together; keep them coming.

[@dianemassey9420]

Outstanding we were there Thank you Happiest Birthday Hells 🎂👏👏👏👏🎊🎉😊

[@suewilkinson910]

That was fab. Happy birthday Helen. I love Tenerife although it is a while since we went. Love those potatoes, the green and red sauce and the fabulous seafood and pork they cook there. It really was like being with you and sharing the day. The dancing and carousing at the end had me laughing out loud. It’s so cold here, I’m very jealous.

[@garyhillman4899]

Good show James and Corie Helli 👍

[@claireleamy3168]

Yes James,you totally created the vibe of being there with you. You are so relaxed and familiar in your conversation with rhe camera, it is like a third person sat next to you, particularly when you are at the bars etc. Warmest birthday wishes Helen and congratulations to you both on another top quality video.❤🎉❤

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, Im glad you enjoyed it, thats exactly the vibe I wanted to create 🙂

[@dusty8616]

Happy 50th Helen! Keep shining you crazy diamond!

[@1650million]

Hi there James, I´m really enjoying your videos. And as a Spaniard, and since it seems you keep coming back to Spain and you love "gambas al ajillo" (one of my favorites, too), I would highly recommend you watch a video called "Spanish TAPAS dictionary". Tony is a VERY experienced guy with excellent taste, and it will certainly give you many more succulent ideas other than the garlic prawns. Enjoy!

[@bythecurb]

Thank you I'll watch that

[@andrewperry6984]

Happy birthday Hellen 🎊 🎉
