We retired early to live our dream of World Travel. Through our KZread channel we want to help inspire others to prepare for their own retirement by utilising some of the same principles that enabled us to get there 14 years early.
Neil & Sarah are from the UK but in the years since they retired have visited more than 25 countries and had many adventures.
What's your dream?

Don't make it a job - reflect your fun/authenticity & spontaneity!!!
Welcome back 🎉
great to have U backs xx vee
Excellent! Love the new idea on content and will also follow 2goroam travels! Loved that vid about memory dividends! Have fun with youtube don't let it run you, run it! Thanks for sharing and helping!
Love that you’re back. My dream is traveling as well. I’m from Canada and just seeing the beautiful scenery in this video took my breath away! Would love to see more of that.
Brilliant to see you back. Non scripted sounds good and your type of future videos sounds perfect! I’m looking forward to watching your videos again, and I’ll go and check out your 2nd channel.
Love the new format and agree you can still make engaging videos on the fly. Good luck to you both
AMAZING.......Glad you followed our ideas about riffing.....You cannot go wrong, you are a natural.....! Love it........NO EDITING!!!!! Just one crop at the start and one at the end!!!!
But you get free accommodation, can't deny it up to. $200-$350 per day. But we like the Idea thay you guys can house sit our precious dogs❤
Great video. Certainly food for thought. 👍
IF........I......FALL.....❤
I missed you both and so glad you will be back! We are getting ready to retire and love watching your story. 🎉
Your first video was fantastic.
Thanks for sharing
Fantastic content
So glad to see you again. I've missed you & Sarah. Please take care of yourselves. 😊
Yay, you’re back and looking good! Looking forward to seeing Sarah soon. What you mentioned in this video is very common with many KZreadrs. You start relaxed and vlog as if it’s just some home videos. But then, you want to take the perfect shot, supply info & entertain, etc. Before you know it you put yourself under pressure to do and give more, and then it becomes more about the subscribers than about yourself. Unless you’re making a lot of money from it and relying on it to survive, it’s just not worth the hassle/stress! I’ve enjoyed watching both your travel videos and your retirement tips videos, but I’d be just as happy to see some old fashioned home video style vlogs. You both have great personalities and I think that’s perfect enough. All the best to you both. ❤Zeljka
Glad to see ya back.. We gave ya's a shout out on our last vlog ✌️
You were right! Great video!!👍
Live your Life. Live Your Life! I do love your videos but the work to create them is overwhelming to me. I am constantly being told I should “do” a book, a vlog, a KZread, a whatever. Though I am flattered, it always felt like it would feel like work. And after 4 years of full-time travel, I am still allergic to deadlines. My whole life was in service to others. Do what makes you happy. Period. Live your life. Live your life.
Just love seeing you guys wherever you are..the good the bad and the ugly ... and 10:52 sharing your thoughts on it all..❤
Glad you're back. And, I hope your back is feeling better. Good luck!
I think Malaysian are evenly split in regards to football club we support, either Man United and Liverpool.
Glad you are taking this approach for your sanity, health and well being. As you say, you worked hard in the Corp world and this should be more of a hobby so you don't spend time scripting etc and can actually enjoy where you are Like you I worked for 40 years in a banking career and deserve my retirement so my KZread channel, which does have only a fraction of your subscribers is a hobby where I try to give people as much info about a place as I can to help them make an informed choice about visiting there. But I've never ever scripted a video as I want to enjoy where I am visiting and being a hobby and permanent video record for me and my family, I don't have the pressure of having to get to so many subscribers or post every single week Good luck with the new approach and I'll keep watching
These are the type of videos I enjoy. Just walk and talk and see interesting things as you do. No production, little script, stream of thought on a few various topics or locations.
Your unscripted videos are excellent - whitter on 😉
Not read the comments but personally I like the vlog type videos warts and all. Interested in the accomodation, places and logistics of travel and retirement. 54 years old retired at 30 currently without a home for 14 months everything in storage travelling Europe in our car.
YES! It's great to have you guys back. I've just retired (whoo hoo). Might see you round the world somewhere. All the best
Great to see you both back! I really enjoy the great information and the journey you take us all on! Absolutely do what you enjoy first and others will also.
Yay, you guys are back! We started a new channel but we have been watching your channel. I actually shared with you about possibility of Meniere's symptoms before. It feels overwhelming having a you tube channel. A lot to learn but it's okay. You and Sarah are such an inspiring couple!
So happy to see you are back! Agree with so many others- do what you love. Make the videos for your selves 10 years ago and share where you are now in life for yourselves 10 years from now. We will enjoy that journey with you!
Welcome back! Hope your back is doing better, Neil. We appreciate what you do. It doesn’t have to be perfectly scripted. If someone doesn’t like your videos, they are free to unsubscribe. You don’t need another job. That’s the way we run our KZread Channel.
Glad to see you back. I agree that it is so much work. We have been roaming for 5 years and enjoy watching KZread but I don't think I could do the amount of work it would take to have a KZread station
Great ideas, so happy to watch whatever the schedule that works for you! Love your content.
Have not seen you for a while. Have fun! That’s the most important thing. Cheers from Canada. Paul and Helen.
Welcome back Neil and Sara! I have really enjoyed your videos and am retiring from teaching next Friday!
I love the random…maybe not so polished….travel vlogs! I don’t mind a bit of content thrown in here and there about how you manage your retirement travels/finances but I look for inspiration in how to travel to certain places. And no offence to the Americans but it’s nice to have a “non American” view point about travelling and finances. I’m an Aussie and it can be a bit discouraging at times when planning for travel in retirement to see Americans being able to travel at a “higher” level than we can due to the availability of so many different credit card reward schemes which we don’t get here. So keep up the more “relaxed” “vlogging” and enjoy yourselves!!
Good to see you....
Good to see you guys back on YT and don’t get sucked into the hole again losing all your valuable hours to making videos. A big hello to Sara but if YT is not her thing then there is no reason why you can’t do the videos on your own. Make this work for you guys and I’ll be watching all your videos as they come out.
For those of us who have never made a KZread video, it’s easy to underestimate the amount of planning, preparation and post-production that goes into each one. We *have* noticed the increasing technical sophistication of your videos over the years. Bravo. But that’s not why the two us follow your channel. We follow your channel because we’re always curious about what you have to say, and because we’re forever rooting for you. Rough around the edges is just fine. Enjoy yourselves. Make the videos for yourselves. You’ll have a modest but loyal fan base for years to come. (Half Man, Half Biscuit have had a forty-year musical career of doing exactly what they want, when they want. There’s no reason why you and Sarah can’t be the charming English eccentric KZread equivalents of Half Man, Half Biscuit. 😆)
Your financial videos changed our lives. I like information and love numbers. Bring on the FIRE, retirement tips etc.
I like your analogy of the youtube shuffle. I started my channel for fun. No schedule. of course I don't make any money, I don't edit or have scripts. I don't care about that. I just do it. Sometimes it's about money, sometimes it's about my plans, and sometimes I just gotta rant and can't do it to family or friends. If I am ever able to retire and travel, it will certainly be about that. I WATCH people like you so I can live in the world vicariously, since I cannot see it in real life. I also have a lot of "private' videos for me to watch later..
We thank you for being some of the creators that helped us begin our retirement journey. Do the things that you want to do and don't feel the pressure to put up YT videos.
I keep thinking about resurrecting my channel, but then I keep realizing how much work it would entail to attract enough views. Don't burn out!
Nice to see you again, glad you're both back. I'm very excited about your new travel channel and I will be subscribing. And i really like the idea of unscripted content. Hope you enjoy making them.
The channel is really informative however you are retired, you’ve had a job, - finances are only one part of retirement - another piece of retirement is the time it releases that is yours, i,m aware from others that making youtube videos can mess with your head. Take it gently.
Welcome back! Look forward to more of you two
great to see you back. Sure, keep the editing down, a bit of rough and ready is fine. Video when you are ready, every two weeks or every month works fine
So glad to see you guys again! ❤❤❤❤ Take care of yourselves so we can watch your videos for years to come!
YES!!! KZread is a grind. I've been doing it for 4 and a half years. Over 350 videos. I'm feeling totally burned out and it's not been fun for a while. I love the people, but hate the editing and the grind. For now I'm continuing to grind out the videos and hoping I start enjoying it again sometime...
