Welcome to the world, Leo! 💛
Hey gang! Sorry we’ve been missing from YouTube for quite some time. Since returning to the U.K. from the Philippines back in July, our focus has been on settling into our new home in Devon (the gorgeous coast of England), soaking our last months of pregnancy and giving birth to our son!
Leo arrived on the 23rd of November and is now almost two months old. We’re so in love!
We’ve recently applied for his passport so we can take him on some awesome international adventures this year (as well as some van life trips in Jits, of course!)
Our plan is to continue to make films of our adventures so we can share them with you. In the meantime, we will be sharing a film about our time in the Philippines (we spent 4 months living on an island) and a film about our time living with a tribe deep in the jungle of Indonesia.
We hope you’ll stick around for our future travel adventures!
Xx Tania

Big news pals! We're expecting a baby in November 🎉
... and it's a boy!
We're absolutely delighted and are so looking forward to this new chapter. We conceived in the beautiful Philippines which is one of the reasons we ended up staying in one place for so long - we lived on the Island of Siargao for 4 months in total. It was such a special way to spend our 1st trimester. We had daily coconuts & tropical fruits, made new friends, and enjoyed the slow pace of Island life with our 3 rescue puppies (Willow, Mike & Tony) who we fostered before finding them the best forever homes at the end of our stay. All in all, apart from our week-long hospitalisation with dengue fever (see last post), our last 4 months have been filled with so much love, friendship and excitement. We will of course share about our time in Siargao with a film - hopefully it will inspire you to visit too.
We also wanted to let you know that next Sunday the 23rd of June we will share the final film from our Tanzania trip - all about our time spent with the Maasai Tribe in one of the most remote places on earth with fossils that are millions of years old. So much about that trip blew our minds, so we hope you will find to join us for that.
Lots of love and thank you for being here,
Tania & Adam xx
Ps. A shoutout to our lovely Patreons for helping keep this little secret - we let them know we are pregnant last month. If you would like to support us and have access to exclusive videos and updates + zoom calls with us, join us on Patreon or subscribe to be a YouTube member here :)

Adam and I have spent the last week in hospital with dengue fever after 3 months in the Philippines. Anyone that knows about this disease knows of the dangers which at worst, can be fatal.
Dengue fever is prevalent in South East Asia and contracted from an infected mosquito. That’s why we want to remind you to be extra careful and lather yourself with mosquito repellent, at all times if you’re travelling to this side of the world! There is no vaccine to prevent dengue (available to us in the U.K.) and there is no treatment for it, other than hydration & paracetamol to bring down the fever. Very mild cases can be treated at home but it can soon require hospitalisation. And if you leave it too long before seeking medical advice, it could be extremely dangerous.
We were fortunate to have caught the symptoms early (aching muscles + fever) and by chance had already planned a trip to Cebu, a city with reputable hospitals where we were admitted through ER straight away.
So here we are, a whole load of blood tests later, IV drips, more tests, observed by 30+ medical staff and I am happy to say that I am on the mend and soon to be discharged. Meanwhile, Adam is still under close observation as he is not yet better.
Send your healing love our way, we appreciate it! 💛
With love
Tania & Adam

Hello pals! Our new travel film from our Tanzania series is live now 🇹🇿✨ https://youtu.be/-teiVyyAJb8
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to go on safari, you won’t want to miss this video. This was our first time on Safari and wow, it exceeded our expectations ten-fold! We came face-to-face with incredible wildlife (lions, elephants, zebras, hippos & more!). We also experienced our first-ever hot air balloon ride, gliding over the baobab trees of the savanna.
We were in Tanzania for three weeks and have 4 films that we are really proud and excited to share with you; including our trek to the highest peak in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro. 💛 Subscribe so you don’t miss them.
Big hugs,
Tania & Adam x

Our new travel film is out now: Overnight Alone in Iceland on My First Solo Hike. https://youtu.be/UG4OG1IGXJk
Dwarfed by the magnitude of the mountains, I felt grateful for the air in my lungs and my legs that took me on a slow-paced journey across one of the most stunning landscapes I’ve ever experienced - the Laugavegur trail in Iceland.
After 4 years of full-time travel, Tania & I have been fortunate enough to have hiked some epic trails together. Most recently Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (updates on this on our Instagram). However, Iceland was my first experience taking on this kind of adventure alone. And even though I was ill-prepared and made some rookie mistakes, I am certain that this won’t be my last solo adventure.
We hope you'll be able to join us - we look forward to chatting with you in the comments under the video ✨

Hi pals! We've been working hard this last week, editing our NEW TRAVEL FILM which is out tomorrow! 🎉 It's all about our 7-day trip to BHUTAN - the most mysterious country we've visited!
Sitting on the western side of the Himalayas, Bhutan is a Buddhist Kingdom that famously prioritises the happiness of its citizens over national wealth. It is also the world’s first carbon-negative country! 🌳 And only recently allowed foreigners to visit (hence why their traditions are so well preserved!)
We were lucky enough to be invited by the tourism board to explore this unique country steeped in history and culture, where a traditional way of life reigns supreme and we were given access to film places cameras have never been before. 😱
Join us this Sunday (7th of Aug at 1pm), as we explore a remote indigenous mountain village, meditate with monks, and are welcomed into the homes of locals. 💛
As always, thank you for being here and for your love and support!!

Woo Hoo! Excited to announce that we have a *new film* out today AND we're back in Jits after 4 months backpacking in Indonesia, Bhutan, Nepal & Iceland!
Hello pals! After many months away from our beloved Jits, we are delighted to be reunited with our tiny home on wheels. Adam and I are now back in the UK after our travels and even though we had the BEST time - we missed van life in our sweet Jits!
Since being home, we've spent time catching up with friends in London & Devon and have also been busing ourselves editing our next film which is out later TODAY in just a few hours (Sunday 2nd July at 4pm UK time!).
This film is all about the most beautiful trek in Indonesia, where we slept on top of an active volcano. 🤯 3 days and 2 nights. It was our toughest physical and mental challenge to date (we even had to take a medical test before being allowed entry and we soon understood why!) and we are very proud of the film we've made to tell this story, and hopefully inspire you to take on your own personal challenge!!
We really hope you'll join us - we're so happy to be back!! Thank you for being here 💛
