Travel Vloggers and VanLifers

Hey so happy to have found this thread. I'm a summer part time van lifer minus the youtube channel!

I love Campervibe. I just love how they still have their house, Emily works on the road and put out some great videos. Their Norway trip was unbelievable, so much so I'm off there this summer!

I enjoy the expawers too, though much prefer their European blogs to the UK ones! They are defo more suited to better weather!

Overlanding Sophia is another favourite, love their van! Excited to see South America, the US has been a little boring and repetitive due to watching Tread the Globe who are a few months ahead of them on a similar route.

As mentioned above Tread the Globe, I do like them but sometimes they get on my nerves! I generally binge watch their vids, leave them for a few weeks then watch again!

Chapter by chapter/Phillly and Keely. I have enjoyed seeing Japan, a country I would love to go to.

Courts and Meeks - I love them! Tunisia is turning out to be some trip! It's different from your normal European vlogs. So interesting to see the country too.

I also watch Keiron and Alice. They too have converted a van like the green monster from THD but they don't seem to have the same problems! I enjoy their videos too.

Someone mentioned Our Van Tales....I'm half n half on those two at the moment. They seem lovely and I love Andys obsession with Lidl chocolate brownies but there is something that's niggles me and i don't know what it is!

As you can may tell, I watch alot of channels! There are others too but the above are my favourites which I watch most weeks.

Forgot to say......did anyone go to vanlife festival last year at Stratford? Many of the youtubers were there and my little boy kept pointing them out like they are celebs! Had a nosey in a few of their vans too!

Roaming Radfords are just too big for their boots. Those poor boys clearly don't want to be there and give it another year, the youngest will want to be out of the blogs too. They want to fit in with the vanlifers and be a young 20 something but it doesn't work when your mid 40s??? With a massive motorhome and all the latest tech and gadgets. They are the grandparents of the vanlife community! However they did provide some good entertainment at the festival with Liam the terrible, Darren urban motorhome and someone else I can't remember.....never laughed so much!

Thanks for the mention of Chapter by Chapter I hadn’t heard of them and I’m fascinated by Japan so will enjoy watching those…
On the subject of The Roaming Radfords I really wanted to punch his smug supercilious face this evening watching the Key West vlog he kept repeating we will be back here every year with a smug chuckle into camera like the big I am really boils my blood the constant bragging when others not so fortunate haven’t had a holiday in years…
 
Do the roaming radfords have their own thread? Just started watching them and would be interested to hear what others think.

Ahh, I don't follow the Beans on Insta but I was thinking the other day their baby was due in March. Glad to hear baby has arrived safely and Alex is still wearing that fleece he seems to have lived in throughout Emma's pregnancy 😂

Travel Beans and Canal Boat life with an infant is a foreseeable and unfortunate mess of a vlog.

I wonder how well they are prepared for this new phase of their life and YouTube careers. They don't have a vehicle ready for the three of them to go on the road, they have to pay rent now and they're missing out on income by not producing a video every week.
They'll probably film day trips for their weekly upload for the next months and then might do what every travel vlogger does after a few years: buy property and film renovations/ build.
 
Flying the nest have managed travel and a young child, I'm sure they aren't the only ones. But once the kids get to school age you are massively restricted.
