    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 RUclips 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?

    In this crazy world it is so nice to watch nice people do nice things. I am from Texas and if I ever get to England and surrounding areas these are the exact things I will be doing. History, good food , good drink, and laughter. God Bless you nice people.

    She absolutely is worth it 100% & you're her biggest fan. I love watching how down to Erth Helen is, love watching her drink her pints and enjoy her food, we should see more lovely ladies doing this instead of watching women eat salads & drink sips of water lol. She's my kind of best friend who would encourage you to eat the cake and love life. You guys just match so well, I say it every time. Looks like you had an absolute blast. Thanks for taking us along with yous 💕

      I love food! No salads here, unless it's as a side to something else. But much as I'd love too, drinking 3 glasses of red would have me asleep on the table. Same with more than 2 pints over a long period. Such a shame. So much water has to be sipped while everyone else has the plonk. I'm always the designated driver for our little village supper club. Me and a guy who has to drive him mother home after we return because she baby sat for him. 6 people get to enjoy the food and the expensive wine. 2 of us share a large bottle of fizzy water and get to claim 1 non-alcoholic drink on the tab. I think we come off badly there.

    Like others, I thought this was going to be the Engagement stream, a luxury hotel, going to a nice restaurant, one of your favourite places and pubs. It had everything needed to set the scene for the perfect proposal. Helen kept saying it was so romantic, but it was James just being extra nice to Helen because she works so hard ❤. Very thoughtful, James. Have a ring handy next time!😉. Another lovely video as always.

    I like your videos. You make them very interesting,with your humour,planning ? And the editing is great . You manage to keep me watching for 30 minutes. You show just enough of each location to keep it interesting. Look forward to the next adventure.

    Such a nice video. I loved the music in the last minutes of it with the trains. Thank you.

    23:26 I did the Van Goh experience at Manchester - I loved it. Well worth the entry fee.
