Why Social Media is Dangerous

Today we are talking about why social media can be dangerous.
Sorry for the delay guys a lot has been happening over the last 2 months. Custard’s bodywork is almost ready to have a brand new colour wrap and we CANNOT wait.
We’ve been a bit quiet on social media lately and have had to take a step back to work on us as a couple. We realised the busy lifestyles and all the behind the scenes stuff meant we weren’t giving each other enough attention, we were arguing constantly and our relationship was slowly slipping away from us. So we decided that counselling would help us sort all of that out - which it did!
So you have a brand new Kinging-it! - We’re back on form with a brand new vlog and with new head space which is just what we needed over the Christmas period!
Thanks for your patience, we hope you enjoy the vlog!

    I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING 😭It's hard to put into words how much positivity and joy you two radiate. Burn out and depression are horrible monsters, and we're so happy you came out the other side. You couldn't find more genuine people than you two, in this online world full of fake personalities created to sell lifestyles. It takes real guts to make this video and we admire you both so much, for so many reasons. Something good is worth fighting for. You'll be back in your groove before you know it and we'll all be here to share the highs and the lows with you. Keep on Kinging It baby!! ps: Literally cannot wait to see Custards new look, she's gonna be a Queen! 👑👑👑

Do people need to know this bit ya know.. but we share the best bits - so why not shares the lows too. We've said from the beginning of this channel we wanted to be as transparent as possible and really show the realness to this online 'job'. I'm glad we did it now, the response we've had has been pretty overwhelming. Thanks for your kind words miss. 💗

    I edited a video for the missus' work once and it took me all bloody day, which gave me a little insight into how much work goes into the videos KZreadrs do! Have to say, it was very brave of you to admit that you were struggling a little with your relationship, and exactly why this channel is head and shoulders above other KZread travel vlog thingies I've watched. Despite having the full KZreadr starter kit (oversize glasses, charity shop clothes, vegan, Craig's moustache 🤣) the authenticity shines through. I've had a couple of tough times with my missus where we talked about if it might be easier to walk away, but after a lot of tears we remembered that the reason we're together is that we both found the love of our lives. The most important thing is to face the challenges as a team. and give the missus a snog now and tell her how much I love her 😘 Keep up the good work!!

    I’m 57 so that shows the broad range of people that watch your videos and get inspiration from you both... if I’m fed up at work I go straight to a kinging-it video to cheer myself up. I don’t believe that mental or emotional health is misunderstood, we’ve all been educated enough on the subject. The issue is that it’s silent. If we see someone with their arm in plaster we realise straight away what’s happened and how it will repair and it’s easy to say to the person, how did you do that. Any sort of emotional turmoil and we tend to be so scared, because we know it could happen to us in an instant, that we deal with it by avoiding the subject. You, talking openly is a wonderful gift for those thinking that they are the only ones that suffer. When you consider that relationships are just an extension of ourselves we should do exactly what you’ve decided to do... look after each other first. With the exception of does my bum look big in this, honesty with each other is the best policy because (as my grandmother always said) a problem shared is a problem halved.

A qualified stranger can really dig for the right answers and often tell you things that you're too frightened to say out loud. Well done to both of you for sharing the lows as well as the highs, ignore the odd negative Nelly (or Neville lol)...they don't have to watch and I'm happy if they bugger off, it leaves more room for the good stuff! I can't wait for the big reveal and I hope you both continue to love, support and understand each other. xxx

    How you spoke about how custard and your relationship are similar was put so beautifully. It's so important to speak about problems and mental health.. without doing it, everyone feels alone in their own head, but I don't think I know a single person who doesn't have any mental health issues. When I saw you in Bali (I am vegan babe), I really didn't know whether to approach you or not.. but to be honest, I'd rather meet and hang out with you two than just about any celebrity. Just reading through these comments has put such a smile on my face.. people (including me) get so much from watching you two, you're such gorgeous souls.

Avid watchers of VanLifers instinctively know from week to week, whether there are mounting stresses. One week could be a 25 minute video, the next 13 minutes. As a subscriber and future VanLifer I stress for you all. Anyone who’s reading this that were loyal subscribers to Max and Lee’s channel, just saw the stress building for Lee and their relationship. Try watching from the outside looking in! 💔 So you both being so candid has made us fall that much more in love with you both for helping us understand! 💯🙌🏼❤️

Social media and this world we’re living in can be so damaging, not only to the viewers, but to the creators also and most don’t talk about it.

But in an era of glossy, photo corrected, phony social media posting, your most appealing contribution may be your genuine nature. Your ability to face your demons right in front of us (your friends), in the hopes that we can relate. Believe me, we can totally relate. When Aimee posts about dealing with her anxiety, I can TOTALLY relate.Watching Craig totally break down when Fferanda finally gave out so near the end of the Rally, TOTALLY relate. And as a couple that have both moved on from two divorces late in life, to find each other and start over, TOTALLY relate to constantly learning to communicate and make sure the relationship takes priority over the other things. Love you guys. Love your work. Thank you for giving us a model to live by..... Rule YOUR own world. Cheers.

    Absolutely love you two! Love your honesty & integrity. Had a rough last year, last September I had a major seizure, dislocated my shoulder in process 🤦🏼‍♀️ I am self employed doing a physical job, so no work for ages, then my precious Mum died in October so spent lots of time organising her funeral for end of November. Watching your channel has really cheered me up and inspired me , so Thankyou. Understandably my mental health has not been great, but people talking about it and taking stigma away really does all help. Take care guys I look forward to watching what you get up to in 2020!

    Really appreciated this video. Watched your videos for years and planned my whole year away with my boyfriend at the time. Our relationship ended just weeks before we were supposed to leave and I admit I couldn’t watch your videos for many months because seeing the ‘couple goals’ version of travelling was just too painful. However, when I messaged you guys you replied and I went on my own trip and ended up having the best year of my life. I can now appreciate that there are highs and lows of travelling and of life whether you’re alone or in a relationship and just love your videos for the real content and your individual personalities. Keep it up, we all appreciate you more than you’ll know xxx

    Deepest respect to both of you for opening up about the realities of life and relationships, being smart enough to acknowledge you were having problems and seek help. Speaking from first hand experience, there is nothing so painful as witnessing the demise of a long term relationship with someone you love deeply and knowing that things could have been very different if we'd been smart enough and brave enough to get some help before it was too late. Mental health, anxiety, depression and stress are very real and absolutely debilitating if you let it go. It pains me that there is still a veil of shame and/or embarrassment around mental health and wellbeing. We still have a tendency to limit our notion of health to the physical only rather than the holistic - physical, mental and emotional - even though on an intellectual level we recognise all these dimensions of ourselves as human beings. Yet still we'll run off to the doctor when we get the sniffles but won't seek help when we are suffering mentally and emotionally. Interestingly, very commonly mental and emotional distress actually produces physical symptoms in our body. Anyway, I love your channel and I'm so glad for you personally that you got some help. And thanks for talking about it. The more people that do so, particularly influencers like yourselves that have the power to reach so many people, you're helping to raise awareness and lift the stigma around mental health.

    Couples counseling was one of the most eye-opening experiences Ken and I had, and it saved our relationship. I can’t imagine the stress of working together and being together 24/7 in a van. A week or two in our motor home was pushing it, for us, and we didn’t work together. You guys are such a great example.
