✨ About Always Away:
We are Dominic and Emma. Travelling together as a couple for the last 10 years, we started off backpacking through South East Asia and in 2016 began vanlife as a means to travel with our pug, Percy. Since then, we have slowly been upgrading; from our first self-build micro-camper Renault Kangoo to our Mercedes Sprinter LWB, and now our Fiat Ducato Hymer Swing Motorhome. Vanlife allows us to not only travel with our dog, but experience travelling through places and enjoying the journey, not just the destination. We are advocates for not allowing financial circumstance to be a barrier to travel. Instead we know there is Always Away!

I had to blink again on the sibling title. I thought she was Sharla 😂
If Chris and Sharla have a daughter she's gonna look exactly like Emma. 😂
Lmao. I can see the resemblance
the resemblance is unbelievable
Does Chris have an Oedipus complex?
@@YounusMogul except that's with the mother
@@ninjason57 A child, including a daughter/sister, usually looks like one of their parents. Maybe even their mother...
I had no idea Chris had a sister, that's awesome. The Abroad Cinematic Uninlverse expands once again
I must say it's so cool to see Chris just chatting with his sister on camera and just being really relaxed and unscripted. It's awesome to see, like you're seeing the real person. His sister is awesome too, I'm sure you'll have a very prosperous career. I'd edit this into my comment but I don't want to remove the heart
@@frostyblade8842 Thanks for your comment! Yeah it was very chill and good to have a chat, we don't see each other often. Tbh I'm probably a bit too chilled in this video 😂
@@AlwaysAway I thought you're Sharla's sister! You and Sharla look so similar! Until you started speaking British. CHRIS man. He chose someone who looks like his sister. Sus.
@@alphadraconis9397 I guess he can relate to Garnt to some extent
@@frostyblade8842 When you get as popular as Chris has there a point where you want to protect your family from too many cameras?
The cut to Pete dancing was perfect. 😆
Had to put him in, it worked too well 😂😂
@@AlwaysAway I was rolling when I saw that XD
So unexpected 🤣
Yes 😂😂😂
I don't know if anyone will get this reference, but it was a very "Kevin Smith" edit like cutting to Jay and Silent Bob moshing in front of the Quick Stop.
You and Sharla look like you could be sisters, you look very similar.
Chris is Japanese at heart too with the inseki lol
I guess all blond hair women look the same to you.
@@Ritsu362 Bro 💀
@@Ritsu362wtf😂
I was thinking the same thing, honestly
It's fun to learn that you're actually a regular editor for Chris, explains why the edits on your videos are also so good!
You joked “I’m 40” and then the conversation seemed to move on for a while before you came back and corrected it and for that entire duration I was just getting more and more bewildered that maybe it wasn’t actually a joke 🤣🤣
Hahaha that's amazing 😅
same 🤣🤣
Glad I'm not alone haha. I was starting to have an existential crisis as a fellow 26 year old woman
@@meme-gy5gx right? 27 here, I was like… girl if you’re 40 and ageing like that then I need your secret NOW 🤣
Not enough exposure to dry English humor I guess.
Emma and Sharla are curiously similar in looks 🤔
I thought they were sisters! Was so confused
Not really. They just have long blonde hair. Emma looks like Chris.
I thought that was Sharla in the thumbnail at first…
@@SuperSPatrick she looks soooo much like chris!
That's what I thought. And Sharla also mentioned that Chris liked it when she dyed her hair blonde...😏
Like more Sharla's twin with a lil Chris 😊
I've been watching Chris for a few years now I had no idea he had a sister but I love that you're a family of travellers and filmmakers I hope you both do more videos together 😊
Gotta love Natsuki 🤣 - sometimes you have no idea what he’s saying or even doing… and yet it’s hilarious all the same 😂
Yup, not a clue what was going on, he thought we were live at the time too for some reason 😂 gotta love him!
And no idea why he's saying what he's saying 😂 He just comes out with the most random stuff
With Natsuki you´re always guaranteed to experience some great vibes. 😊
To roughly quote Chris from the recent livestream: Natsuki speaks quite good English but he has fk all knowledge of grammar
😂😂😂
It was the awkward mild panic in Emma and Dom's eyes for me 🤣🤣
She looks more like sharla’s sibling than Chris’.
I love how chill the vibes are until the very end where Natsuki just turns the video into a circus of confusion and laughter, what a great wake up call!
Natsuki never fails to make me smile
Chris is looking very good with his health journey
awww so sweet to see u siblings both together, your brother must have been so delighted to have you visit Japan. Hope he has been treating you well and been nice to you during ur visit 😁
He has! He's a very good brother nowadays 😅
Strong emphasis on nowadays 😂
I could see Chris chasing neighborhood cats with the robot from robot wars.
I don't know how weird it is, but I know people are usually drawn to those that resemble family. Sharla and Chris kinda look like dopplegangers of Emma and her BF.
It's as the saying goes we basically date ourselves 😂
All people with the same hair color look the same to you?
@@jenhaller1322 what??? 😂😂😂
@@jenhaller1322 haha right? All white people look the same or something 😂 they're really not that similar
@@amara560 Here sister made a video with Sharla with the title "vanlife with my sister" and the top comment is they look like sisters. So they are aware they look alike and a lot of people think so.
Chris and Sharla should do a van summer somewhere outside of Japan 🖤
Gotta convince them to come meet us in Norway this summer!
The abandoned/untouched villages thing is quite strange to me. I've heard over the years how Japan has been "running out of land" and stories of how they're creating man-made islands, and so on. But then through all of the RUclips videos I've found out there is plenty of land, that villages and towns used to be on, but people have just left..
Natsuki's looking so smart and hip!
He's getting some grey and it looks so good on him! He's so adorable, I wish we could see him more often.
As a Swede, I can really recommend a trip to Sweden. But honestly, maybe even more I can recommend a trip to Norway,. It's extremely beautiful! Sweden is also very beautiful, but Norway is honestly amazing. But it has a ton of mountains and fjords, so it can take a while to drive through it all. So if you want to go to the most northern spot in Norway, maybe drive up through Sweden for an easier drive?
After the drastic change thanks to your "cultural enrichment", I, and many others, will never set foot in Sweden even if you guys pay us to.
Agreed, living in Sweden for 19 years at the moment.
If Chris starts traveling, he should start a new channel called 'abroad with chris' where he just vlogs his trips. Would be great
A broad with Chris?
Pro tip re: petting cats - watch their ears. When they’re overstimulated or had enough of petting, the ears will turn to the sides. Stop petting, do not pass go, let them be. Cats teach us consent! ❤
Your brother sounds so affable, he should make his own youtube channel
What an idea!
The colab I’ve been waiting for ❤
It's fun to look into a small window of the origins of one of my favorite RUclipsrs and content creators, and to discover your content as well 🙂
Awesome video, thank you for taking the time for us 👍
Natsuki, 🫶🤘
so wholesome!
Loved this video 😄
Really love that you guys did this, awesome video!
Love the sibling dynamic!
This was great!
The crossover we were all waiting for 💜
Dom is hilarious honestly. He should do some "TV presenter" style videos like Chris did initially where his humour/charm can shine through.
He's so great at randomly coming out with stuff! He's always rhyming stuff too, it's his east London roots haha. That'd be cool to try out!
Omg this is awesome!!! ❤
Great video, loved it! And with Natsuki as well! Never too much Natsuki, ever! 😄
Very nice to see Emma and Chris together sharing some memories and experiences. Nice that you have similar interest in videos and Emma is included in editing for Chris. When siblings get along it's a godsend. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome Q & A. I enjoyed every minute. So excited that the Nordic countries are next on the horizon. And that was the funniest version of Happy Birthday I have ever heard. 😂
Natsuki!!! Never fails to make me laugh, that guy is a national treasure 🤣
This was really good!
This was a brilliant watch - I laughed a lot through this 😂 🍒 was not expecting that one
Love this video!
OMG! I am so excited to find your channel! I watched this one and continued to binge the rest!!! Good luck with the new Channel! You got this!
Thank you!! 💖
Great video + well edited!! Definitely want to see a video of Norway that would be so cool.
Loving the videos so far. Can't wait to see your continuing adventures.
Everyone loves Pete 😊
Such a wholesome video
This was very fun, I hope you will make more videos together again :)
This was a lovely sit down Q&A. Love the vibes :)
Thankyou! ☺️🩷
Such a fun video!
Great video. Thank you for sharing both of your sibling history & insights to your experiences in Japan. Love the ending as well. Take care & keep creating your style of videos.
Thankyou! 🥰💖
This was fun to watch! And I can't wait to see more vlogs from Europe on your upcoming travels, I really enjoyed the ones you did previously!
Awh thanks!! Hopefully this time round we don't have so many van problems 😅
Welcome to Scandinavia! Much love from Sweden to all of you. Will agree that Norway is insanely beautiful, Finland is also very very pretty. Land of a thousand lakes!
Two Broads In Japan! Loved it.
I really enjoyed this video. It was kind of like I asked you in a conversation and you sat across from me in a bar 😀
Greetings from German with a wish to visit Japan one day
Thanks Broad Brothers....its been an amazing Pleasure ! really, luv yeah both....Just keep making videos, pls !
Natsuki made a nice and friendly entrance but he intended to bring chaos 😆
cool video!
Awww, sweet video! Good questions, well edited. It would be fun to hear more about you and Dom’s adventures in the next Q&A 😊
Thank you! Will definitely do one after this trip 🥰
💛Ty for answering my question 🥰 makes me even more excited to visit Japan. It’ll be hard to narrow places down bc so much of it looks so pretty.
Thanks for asking it! Yeah narrowing places down is so difficult! There's so many places to see, 3 months in and we've barely touched the sides 😭
I first saw you (Emma) in Sharla 's video and now I'm happily subscribed. I found your brother's (I'm his age) videos during 2020 and it's led me to so many other amazing people and amazing content. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! ☺️💖
I relate to the part on growing up in a small town with parents that don't really go anywhere for vacations, my urge to just get around is much greater than anyone it being so, well I'm still not of age, gotta make that come true in my times...
Such a nice video. So much fun learning about you and Chris. 🫶🫶💙🩷
Thanks! 🥰
really cool to see you too together the questions were great and you 2 definitely feel like siblings that get along well
Really enjoyed seeing you two together & answering the questions! I’m really glad I discovered your content through Sharla as I’m a big fan of camping and van life vids. I’d love to know what type of camera Chris gifted as I’m in the market for one. Looking forward to your future adventures! 💖
Thankyou! It's a Panasonic Lumix s5ii! 💖
😍This was so cool 🤩and I loved even more that you and Chris have Norway as nr 1 on your next travel list ❤❤ Norway won't disapoint you 😉😊👏👏
It will bankrupt you though 😀
@@tobyk8125 Gonna have to stock up our van with tin food from Tesco before we go 😂😂
I really enjoyed this video. Both of you are delightful 😊
Thank you! 🥰
So cute. Reminds me of my sister who is also 10 years younger than me. Never knew Chris had siblings, hope you both make more content
The real tea sis xx
u look more like sharla's sis ngl😂😂
😅
You guys are adorable 😆
😂😂 thanks!
Great sibling q and a you do have to practice and you don’t always have the energy, but you must show up even at the worst moments.
Thanks! And 100%, just go to practice getting in the right frame of mind! 💖
The lore... THE LORE...
Really enjoyed this; made me think of a lot of sibling memories with my little brother growing up.
As an aside, a tip off for Chris for a future video: the island of Sado. It was a place of exile for Japan in centuries past, and in more recent history it’s got an association with people being kidnapped to North Korea.
Anyway, thanks again!
Great vid! Chris is lucky to have a nice sister!!
Hehe thanks! 💖
I don't like saying I found this channel thanks to Chris but I did. I fell in love with your style and video composition, keep it up!
Hahaha, thank you! 💖
Chris's sister is absolutely gorgeous.
She is and she looks an awful lot like Sharla!
The graphics you did are pretty iconic to the whole of Abroad in Japan.
I never before realized how much Chris's sister looks like Sharla. Not just the hair, but facial and physical structure. 😮
Good to know I wasn't the only one to easily see it 😅
I thought it was Sharla at first
I really love this. Givein a shout out for the question about RUclips, bro. That's love fam. I love this 1000%
Yay after finding out about this channel i wondered when Chris would do a sibling video, as a brother with 2 sisters i can relate hahaha.
Damn! Natsuki looking FLY!
I'd love to watch you guys travel around Northern Europe, especially in the campervan. My RUclips channel is so heavy on travel to Japan after following Sharla and Chris 😂
As the video progresses, you really begin to see the resemblace. Thanks for the exclusive!
Thanks for answering my question about your childhood travels. Coming from Australia, your 4 overseas trips in your childhood sounds like a lot (I first went overseas at age 29) but I guess Spain isn't all that far away from the UK. :) Loving your videos, including the van ones, keep 'em coming.
Only a 2 hour flight! Spain's great, though I'm sure Australia gives it a run for it's money in terms of beaches! Thank you! 🥰💖
Yes! When you’ve been flying for 8+ hours and you’re still just over Australia (for me anyway… Tas/Melb). It‘s hard to leave the country for a casual holiday when it takes so dang long (and costs so much) 😅 New Zealand is the only easily attainable “international” destination really haha
Same, never went on any Travel holidays as a kid, but I'm a home body so it didn't bother me
1) Emma is so pretty 2) oh you do graphic design that’s why your thumbnails are so good!
Haha thanks x2! ❤
While I do love japan… I can’t wait for those Norway videos! Can’t wait to see the Fjords!!!
Thunderbirds are GO!
The only good thing to come out of thunderbirds was the song from Busted 😂
Cool topic ~ something new to learn with all of these questions! I hope you'll have more fun doing videos since it's such an amazing field to work with.
And graphic design is just as great. Makes me wonder what ways you'll find to implement what you learned in your studies. ^_^
the always expanding lore of abroad in japan.
Cool learning more, Followed Chris for awhile and the algorithm landed me here where I got to see the assuming neko neko inn video good luck
A great relatioship. Lord knows I don’t get on with my sister so well. We’d never be able to make it through a q&a for so long.
Haha, notice we're both drinking various alcoholic bevs throughout 😂
@@AlwaysAway Noted!
Finally Brother and Sister
You know, the parallels between Chris and James Rolfe (the Angry Video Game Nerd) are oddly kind of notable, as they both seem to have a real lifelong love of and knack for filmmaking that shaped their future careers and made them both into pretty ubiquitous online personalities. I'm not sure how, when, or where it could possibly come to pass, but I'd love to see the two of them meet sometime and collaborate on a video together. I imagine it would be quite fun, and with both of their filmmaking skills and backgrounds working together, it would probably be a real sight to behold, too!
Also, this is my first time seeing you, Emma -- I'm not sure I even knew Chris had a sister! But you seem awesome too, and I'm definitely going to be checking out some of your other videos. Already added a bunch into my Watch Later list, and will surely enjoy them over dinner in the coming week or two.
Thanks for taking the time to do this Q&A!
Ah that would be interesting! And Thank you ☺️ Hope you enjoy the previous vids 💖
just moisturize, Chris!
Lovely to see the sibling connection! I have a similar age gap with my older brother (8 years). We'd get in scraps as kids, but we hang out all the time now and get along pretty well. Awesome that you were somewhat influenced by Chris's video-making. Looking forward to seeing where your adventures keep taking you!
Haha sounds pretty similar! Thankyou! ☺️🩷
Excellent vid. I would definitely be down to see vids of Norway or Switzerland. I would love to move over to Europe, but with no degree it would probably be impossible.
Question for Chris.... Maybe a short documentary on the state of Japan's rural countryside due to a declining population and people in general moving to Tokyo.
Ooh that'd be a cool documentary! I'd love to watch something on that after seeing so many abandoned villages.
I'm already in Europe and I would want to see that too 🙂
(I have already been to Switzerland though when I was a kid, it's a great place, but my guess is as an adult I'd have a different way of looking at it)
ok, that pete short cracked m up.
Q&A for Emma next!
Forgot to get the channel when I was at Ushka's the other month helping, but yeah this was great
Hope you're doing well!!
@@AlwaysAway yeah fairly well actually, currently waiting on my slip from immigration to know if I'mj staying longer or not and been pretty busy with work stuff. Hopefully you are too
