Watching this video now after having subscribed and watching all your videos a while ago it’s always interesting to go back to the first video to see what started it all. You are such the cutest couple ever! I watch you not just for the stunning scenery and crazy adventures you go on (the Australian outback in the middle of summer? Who does that! 😂) but because of the two of you: Your gorgeous personalities, the sweet way you interact with each other (and to us all in the comments), Keely’s absolutely infectious laugh, Philly’s silliness, the hilarious sexy coffee montages and for your beautiful souls that shine so brightly even through the screen of my phone as I watch. You brighten my world, you brighten THE world with your presence. You deserve all good things; success, joy, and a million subscribers! Keep shining beautiful humans! Love you guys! 💗
Hi Philly and Keely. RUclips recommended your first ever video. What a great start and an explanation of how you got into van life. Look at you both now 🥰 Take care. Nick
wow, i dont know why this episode was suggested to me tonight. I have been following you for a couple of years now. What a fabulous start you made to vlogging..
RUclips just served me this video, and it's so cool to see where you guys started! Philly is so much more of a character these days. Well done for everything you've achieved 💜
Thanks for joining us Kate 🥰🥰 flip this video feels like forever ago haha!! Hopefully we have progressed skill wise since then, defo been a learning process with RUclips that's for sure ❤️❤️🎥🎥
I am truly blown away- this is a beautiful video and it was your first???!!! You both rock and i very much look forward to your posts each week- wishing you many happy adventures ahead! ❤
Hi, been getting your videos suggested on my feed since seeing you on Overland Sophia ages ago. Finally realised I should subscribe and go through your older videos as you are really entertaining and cool.
You two are so lovely to watch - your enthusiasm for life is overflowing even though you had a dodgy 3 months, keep the videos coming and thanks for sharing. We need more ambassadors for vanlife like you to try to diminish the stigma and prejudice and hopefully get better facilities and understanding. Best regards.
Thankyou so much for your kind words!!! So glad to have you enjoy our videos, hopefully we will have many more coming. Infact we have some big plans for February video wise. So fingers crossed we can pull it off.
Thanks Graham, that means alot to us. Working on the next video now, hopefully a bit faster at the editing this time lol, it's all a learning process!!
🤣🤪 thanks Alysha. Not sure I could bring myself to watch this first video. Maybe I will cringe haha. Thanks so much for being with us on our adventures 🥰🥰 I think it's cool to keep all our videos on RUclips, you can see how much you've grown over time ❤️
@@phillyandkeely We're big fans now so we started from the beginning and are working our way through. Spain done, onto Costa Rica. And of course keeping up yo date with your current releases. PS, come do an Australian trip!
Great video . Although we speak the same language you talk different . I’ve never heard the saying lay - by . Please don’t change anything about how you speak I’m enjoying it .
Great first video guys. Love the chat, love the b-roll. It's got a real positive raw feel. Looking forward to more banter in the next as you both become more comfortable in front of the camera. Love you guys.
I've been following you two for a while now, but this is the first time I've watched your first VLOG. Loved it. Love you two too. What a difference 4 years make. Keep it going guys. I'm jealous I didn't something similar years ago. Keep making them and having fun.
Awww thanks so much ❤️❤️ always feels so weird when someone watches our first vlog, but I like that people can see where it all began it's nice 🥰🥰 hopefully our filming and editing skills have increased since then haha 😂
Twas indeed!! Should probably actually do something with the footage at some point 🤣🤣 our first attempt at vlogging, would be interesting to go back and see what we filmed
Lay-By Life, I love it! I’m delighted to have found your channel, lots for me to catch up on, especially vegan van cooking! Great to hear of anyone from Co Armagh rocking’ the van life, sending lots of positive vibes from Rossglass, Co Down! 🤟
Well cool beans!!! You are so serious talking Keely.😊 You now come across like a national geography presenter in your intro's.😉🤭 Along with both of your amazing smiles and laughs ....and joyous tears(Keely) you have come a long way through many chapters....and now TWO van remodels!!! Wowza!!! The workd is truly your oyster❣️❣️❣️✌️😁✌️
That was the start of ur journey together n uv done so nany successful vlogs sincevn i hope u continue to do so,well done guys n goodvluck good health n happiness❤❤❤❤
Just came over from your 3 minute van tour with Courts and Meeks. Subscribed. Looking forward to binge watching all your videos. Greetings from Ireland 🙂
lol you two only need be yourselves , I am enthralled because you are so down to earth , funny a.f 😆, sweet but resourceful , fun , positive , brave and I am here , starting from your first vlog because the first one I watched about 10 ways to keep your van home safe made me laugh out loud so much , I thought " right then I am not missing one of their vlogs , better than any rubbish the BBC used to put on the Zombie box , informative and generous while you both have good craic and keep us lot amused that can not do what your doing lol 🥰 LOVE n hugs from my mates and I here in Cornwall UK 💛
It's taken a while but we got there in the end 🙄 I couldn't find you, long story don't ask 🙈😂😂😂😂 . Right anyway here for the journey 👍🏻 sending love 💙✌️xx
I love it! Real and raw. Make your channel what you want. LIke you said, "is it a vanlife vlog? a travel vlog?" Leave all those expectations aside. Just do you, be creative, and enjoy it! If one person doesn't like your channel because they have an expectation, tough. Excited to see more videos to come!😊 This was great!
Thanks so much!! We really enjoyed making the first one, it's fun doing something together and being creative. I feel like I always pigeon holed myself into the math nerd box, it's nice to explore something beyond that.
Its 2024 and after all your global adventures, I'm going back and watching your FIRST video ❤ It's so upsetting to think back to the unnecessary psychological pressure we were put through back in 2020. Watching this reminded me of just how important alternative lifestyles, personal autonomy and true freedom really is. I love how much kindness and love this video contained, right from the off. And true to your mission you are still putting out love and light now. ❤ I wonder what advice 2024 Philly and Keely would give to 2020 Philly and Keely?
@@phillyandkeely 😊 we don’t mind the daily.. it’s just means we have a few to catch up on every now and then / or might miss some, as we can’t watch them daily haha
Oh how times have changed. I've just watched you travelling to Tanzania 🇹🇿 and this has just popped up on RUclips. From the future you are doing amazing well. And you channel will grow 😊
You lived in Lurgan! I grew up there. But that's not a Lurgan accent, is it? I don't know - I've been away too long! You can see how your vlogs have developed: everything from the sound to feeling comfortable in front of the camera, especially the humour and banter you get in the most recent vlogs. Just wanted to know your back story to van life.
We are both Lurgan, but we lived in London for six years, so I think our accents softened a little cuz noone ever understood us haha. We definitely don't have the same strength of accent as our families, but when you go home it gets stronger again haha, I'm sure yours would too!
Well done and best of luck. I've only seen this video after watching your full break in video and you are a treasure to watch (and listen to, love the accent, Irish, if I'm right?). My wife and I are full time RVers in the US, but we hope to get to the UK and Ireland again soon. :)
Thanks so much, feels like forever ago we made this video, the world has changed so much since then hasn't it. So interesting to look back at our old videos and think how much we have learnt about editting etc. So thankyou for watching and your kind words. Yeah we are from Ireland ☘️ Northern Ireland 💓
Having watched your 3 minute van tour on Courts and Meeks, I just had to check out your channel. And for the first video, that was impressive( you have done this (video, editing) before, right? Lovely vibe, great recommendation from C&M, looking forward to watching your adventures. Good luck 🙏
Hey Gary, wow thanks for coming to watch our videos!! We hadn't really done much video editting, so all these videos have been a massive learning curve for us. We have really tried to always be learning and skill up as we go. It's been a challenge, but we really love it 🥰🥰📽️📽️
I have been subcribed for quite a year or so now but only just found this video. Great as usual but Keeley much more subdued. Now you are sometimes really intense, not that i mind that, just shows how confident you have become now. Take care both
Awesome video!! We are living.simple_ on Instagram & just sent you a message!! SUBSRIBED to your channel. Super entertaining hahahah love this so so much great video
You have a super cute Instagram! Glad you enjoyed the video, we had some laughs making it lol, mostly at ourselves hahaha! Thanks for the sub, we really appreciate it!! 🥰
I just found your channel and after just watching a few videos I know I want to watch all of them. ♥ Can your pretty please do a playlist with all your videos in order from oldest to newest? Pretty, pretty please! Love from Sweden!
@@idaobergs that's a cute idea! Every video we've ever made in chronological order. I will have to take some time to do that next week that sounds cute
so happy that this came up for me to watch.... dang, how did I miss it sooner... but I'm so happy to say that even now you two are still as humble, sweet, lovable, and grateful for all you have and experience. Honestly two breaths of fresh air in the world. keep on keeping on....
@@phillyandkeely first 30 done! The four min ones are over now So less comment spam. Hahah. Time for being productive offline and ill pick this up again later. Having fun watching the first 30 or so xD
@@phillyandkeely making progress. It no longer says three years ago… two years ago…. It is a journey to see them all. Thank you and Philly for making all of these.

Amazing. What a year you've had! I can't get over how homely you've made it. Love how brilliant the editing is too! A real joy to watch!
Thanks Graham, that means alot to us. Working on the next video now, hopefully a bit faster at the editing this time lol, it's all a learning process!!
