NEW VIDEO!!!

What’s the best camera for filming your travels?

▶️ https://youtu.be/QiUdYrU8yyo

In this video I give a break down of the different cameras I use and give you advise on what’s the best one to fit your needs.

Hope you find this video useful.

Just a quick note at the end, when I said the Euro Road Trip film will be out next week, well its actually coming out in the second half of October now.

Was rushing to get it done before I leave for the Central Asia trip, but then realised that the big rush will:

1) reduce quality of the final film, and its coming together super nicely so don't wanna spoil it

2) mean I didn't enjoy my last couple of days at home in Winnipeg before I left for 5 weeks

3) mean I didn't enjoy my short time in the UK seeing friends and family, would just be stressed about getting it done

4) mean I burned out before the Central Asia trip, and I'm gonna need all my energy for that cos its a BIG fast paced 3 week adventure!

So it'll be out in October, then in November there'll be a couple of films with Jaime as we're exploring France in October after Central Asia, and then Central Asia films will be out start of December.

So hold tight for a bit! And then the films will be coming thick and fast 🙂

Thanks for watching as always!

Hope you enjoy it 👍

Indonesia episode 2 is here!!!

▶️ https://youtu.be/DWdzrMsduzo

Second half of our trip as we explore Lombok on bikes for a few days and then do a 2 day boat trip around Komodo National Park.

Waterfalls, rice fields (without Instagram swings), epic sunsets and amazing wildlife encounters!!

Different vibe to the first episode but hopefully you’ll still love it.

Let me know what you think! 😊

08/13/2026

Episode 2 of Indonesia will be online tomorrow!!

Exactly what time I’m not sure yet, racing to get everything finished today but we’ll see how it goes.

Thanks for alllll the lovely feedback on episode 1!!

It’s always tricky making travel films.

Sometimes you can go on an incredible trip but it doesn’t always translate to the most entertaining episode.

Sometimes trips can go wrong but it ends up being very entertaining! (The worst is where the trip isn’t good and it makes a sh*t video 😉)

Sometimes though the stars align and a fantastic trip turns into a film that I’m super proud of. That’s certainly the case with Indonesia.

Hopefully everyone enjoys episode 2, different vibe to episode 1 so I’ll be curious as to which one people enjoy more 😊👍

Indonesia ep1 is LIVE!!!

▶️ https://youtu.be/V_985bQpP9k

Spent 2 weeks with Luke travelling round the country.

In this first episode we started out in Jakarta before spending a few days in East Java, taking us to Mt Bromo, Tumpak Sewu waterfall and Ijen volcano.

We then skipped through Bali to have a nostalgic couple of days in Gili T.

Hope everyone enjoys the film! Ep2 will be out next week 👍

Indonesia series release dates:

Fri Aug 7th - Ep 1: Jakarta > East Java > Gili T

Fri Aug 14th - Ep 2: Lombok > Komodo

Just need to do the finishing touches to the series. For the next few days I’ve got family over from the UK visiting and I had to get some paid brand work finished beforehand.

Right now episode 1 is 70 mins long, although need to give it a watch through and may cut some down, depends how the pacing works (sometimes I add small bits in to improve the pacing).

Episode 2 is on track to be about 60 mins, although haven’t edited the last 2 days and outro yet.

I’m also gonna do a follow up video of Indonesia tips and tricks, what we spent etc.

Soooo excited for everyone to see this series, you’re gonna love it 😊

Indonesia series will be out at the end of next week!!!

(As long as there's no delays from the sponsor 😂)

Hi everyone, getting ready to release the next 2 part series, as Luke and I spent 2 weeks travelling round Indonesia. SO EXCITED for you to see this, absolutely loving how the film is coming together - not quite finished yet, but I'm getting there!

In the meantime, there'll be a video out in the next day or 2, which is a product review video of a Hypershell exoskelton. Now I haven't done product reviews on the channel before, but I've got bills to pay! 😜

Actually had a sponsor drop out for the Euro road trip I did in June (their marketing budget got slashed), so this little product review video is actually funding that entire trip.

I know it's the not the usual thing you'd expect on this channel, but it's only 15 mins so do me a favour and give it a watch, will help secure more money for the channel in the future 👍

There's also gonna be a YouTube short, a 60 second promo for an ebike as well, because hey, you're not gonna say no to a free ebike.

BUT ANYWAY, as for the regular programming:

- there's the 2 part Indonesia series coming up

- then at the start of September I'll release the Euro road trip film (just 1 episode) as my mate Adam and I drove his Aston Martin v12 from London to Lake Como

- and then from mid Sep to mid Oct I'll be filming my one and only tour for this year, as we head to Central Asia travelling through the 5 Stans.

Loads to look forward to! 😊

Japan travel tips video is now live!!!

▶️ https://youtu.be/49ismeLCsoI

AND it’s the first video we’ve shot in our new British pub we’ve built in our basement.

We sit down and take you through 11 things we wish we knew before travelling to Japan, loads of advise and tips for you if you’re thinking of travelling there.

Again this video should’ve come out weeks ago, but the series is done now and I’m working away on the Indonesia series that’ll be out in a month 👍

06/15/2026

Japan episode 2 is FINALLY here!!!!

I'm SOOOOOO so so sorry for the delay with getting this released. But it was completely out of my hands!!!

Took nearly 3 weeks for 75 second sponsor ad to get signed off, I've been so angry and frustrated, but the video is finally here!

ANYWAY, thank you for all the lovely feedback on the first episode, means a lot!

And make sure you stick around to the end of this film as you'll get a sneak peak of the new pub we've built in our basement, it's where we filmed the outro, AND there's a preview trailer of the next series, where I spent two weeks travelling around INDONESIA with my mate Luke. That series will be out at the end of July.

Also I've just finished filming a road trip from London, UK to Lake Como, Italy. That'll be out end of August / start of September. And then I'll be heading to Central Asia for a 3 week trip through the 5 Stans.

Lots to look forward to!!! :)

Japan episode 1 is FINALLY live!!

▶️ https://youtu.be/MfY9-OLXXrk

Apologies for the long delay of getting this released, was completely out of my hands.

The series sponsor (which is a product I genuinely use and love) has a verrrry slow marketing team that took 2 weeks to review a 60 second video of a script they’d already approved 🙈

Anyway, episode 2 will be out next Wednesday (June 3rd) and there’ll be a Japan travel tips video a week after that.

Next series will be the Indonesia trip, that’ll be out at the end of July, and in just over a week I’ll be begin filming the European road trip that’ll be out at the end of the summer 👍

Thanks for your patience and support as always! Hope you like the new Japan series 🙂❤️
