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 KZread 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?

Wow Helen I can’t believe you’re 50! I saw a photo of my dad’s mother at 50 and she looked like a typical granny with short curly grey hair, glasses, middle aged spread, thick ankles and sensible shoes with her floral pinny on. She looked more like a 70 plus year old woman. That was in 1950. How people have changed and youthened as the decades have passed. Happy Birthday!
Thank you thank you my wife also named Helen died last January and we were total soulmates we were drinking buddies like you two and I know your Helen would have loved my Helen and I’m a lot like you slightly embarrassed of Helen’s antics but I sit here alone with a bottle of rum enjoying your Helen’s 50th birthday with a tear in my eye remembering my Helen I totally thank you both for this xx

Wishing you the best Birthday ever, i'm sure you will with James by your side❤🎉You totally deserve it.
If you'd book a restaurant and told them it was her birthday they would mark the occasion. I had mine at Vagas Grill in las America's and they decorated my table, added balloons, and I got free cake with a sparkler in and they stood at my table and sung happy birthday to me. Plan to do it again this year.
You're a lucky guy...her personality matches her beauty..happy birthday
50th? She looks much younger than that!

Helen, you look beautiful, Happy birthday xxx
Helen you don't look 50 and James you can't dance😂😂😂. I had a beer and dinner watching you too... quality, that's the best one yet .Pure entertainment 😅
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)
Happy birthday Helen. Welcome to the best age group. My wife reckons you guys are just like us on holiday. Loving the channel James ,don’t change a thing.
Great sdvertt for Yorkshire. You are both great.
i loved the intro,Helen looks amazing at 50,she looks far younger,so nice to watch you both having such a great day,happy birthday Helen,🥰🥰

Stephen, we are so sorry to hear this. Hope you are hanging in there okay. Sending lots of love ❤️
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.
I have just come across you two and OMG…..what a breath of fresh air 😊 Happy birthday 🎉🎈🎊🎁🎂 for when it was Helen. Just sat, having a laugh, a few drinks and some food 🥘 music and dancing 💃 what’s not to love ❤❤❤
Hi james and helen and a happy birthday to helen she certainly doesnt look 50. She has a great personality you make a nice couple love yor vlogs all the best from near sydney australia ❤❤❤😊🎉
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
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!

Thank you I'll watch that
I stumbled upon your videos unexpectedly and I must admit, I feel fortunate that I did. First and foremost, I must commend you both on being such a delightful couple. It's evident that you truly relish each other's presence and have an incredible bond. I was genuinely astounded to discover that Helen is 50 years old, as I would have easily guessed she was in her mid-30s. Happy Birthday, Helen.

Thank you that was wonderful. Thinking of making that my next holiday ❤
Happy birthday to Helen 😊
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.
Good show James and Corie Helli 👍

Happy birthday Helen and hi james. This was probably one of the best YT videos (if not the best) we have watched. We felt like we were there with ya both. This should be on mainstream TV, and the dross that is on itv and the BBC shove it in the bin. Cheers and I hope ya had the best time in the canaries. It's shite the weather here btw. Seethi John and celia Widnes. ❤
