We’re taking a little break from uploading videos for now, as we’ve got family visiting and a few other projects keeping us busy behind the scenes.
Thank you so much for all your support on the channel. We really appreciate it, and hope to be back with new content soon!

Hi all. It's been a while. The truck build stopped us in our tracks and we're only just getting it together. Firstly, a huge thank you for all the support and words of encouragement throughout the build. Being back on the road feels incredible and life in Morocco right now was the tonic we needed. It's our intent to push out more content this year and there's a whole new twist in our direction, so stick with us! This trip is all about testing the truck, trialling the new adventure bike and enjoying being on the road. Our latest video is now live!

Hi Everyone, and a Big Happy New Year.
2024 was a pretty crazy year for us; our £100k overland truck build challenge was both a win & lose; we built our truck in ten months (big green tick) but failed miserably with the budget.
It's only now that we've been able to breathe and reflect on the madness that is building an Overlander!
In a big effort to play catch up, there'll be a few videos coming out over the next few days, so a huge thank you for all the support, comments and encouragement.
We're currently in Spain with Morocco on the radar, it's going to be a great testing ground for our new home on wheels, so stay tuned.
And here's to 2025 adventures.

Hi all,
A Big Happy New Year to everyone. For the first time in many years we've had all our kids together and it's been fantastic.
However, I'm a day behind with my editing, so this week's video (on our £100k build series) will be out tomorrow evening (Mon 6th) at 1800 GMT.
Join us as we fit out our interior build.
Phil & Izzy 🙏🍷☺️

Hi guy's,
Life’s been pretty full on of late, 100+ hour weeks are the norm and with just over 4 weeks until our boats booked, something had to give.
I've got a stack of content, but time is my enemy, so my video editing is having to take a back seat.
There's still much to do, but for now, here’s a taster of how the build is progressing.
Hang in there and I'll hopefully get something out soon.
Cheers all
Phil & Izzy

Hi all, yep, it's happened... after 5.5 years of full-time travel and life on the road, we park up in our tiny home on wheels, for one last time.
But don't go anywhere just yet, as 2024 promises to be a big year as we embark upon our sub £100k truck-build challenge.
In our next video we talk about our full-time travel, reflect on our reasons for taking time out, and share the highs and lows...
More than anything else though, we want to say a big fat thank you to everyone we've either met, helped us, supported us, and wish everyone a fabulous Christmas no matter where you are in the world.
Phil and Izzy 🙏🍷😀
Our next video will be out on Sunday 10th December at 1730hrs (GMT)

It's been a crazy busy first week back in the UK.
We off loaded our gear from Tonka before catching the train to Nottingham to collect our runaround (Skoda Yeti).
Two days in Wales collecting our new rig and driving it back to Norfolk, before another 30 hour trip to the Netherlands to pick up the remaining wheels. In between that, we've ordered tyres, liaised with garages and had several conversations with our fabricator.
And of course, catching up with family and friends.
THE DOWN SIDE - Something had to give and unfortunately time has been against me... meaning there's Youtube comments I've yet to reply to & there’ll be NO video tonight, but I'll get back on it this week so hang in there. 🙏
Cheers Phil & Izzy 🍷😀

Hi everyone,
Big thank you for all your thoughts and support on the channel 🙏
One things for sure, life on the road is never boring... from a BIG RIG in Serbia to Budapest’s grandeur in Hungary it's certainly been a busy week, but not before the unexpected happens in Slovakia, and we've little choice but to move on.
We love our lifestyle and our tiny home on wheels, although it has its challenges, particularly in late Autumn. You expect the wind and the rain, but then Mother Nature throws a curveball at you when you least expect it!
Throw in a bit of 90/180 day Schengen uncertainty and yep, it's been a pretty eventful few days, is it any wonder why we enjoy the odd glass of red in the evening (OK, that's our excuse)? 🍷😉
Our next video will be out Sunday 19 November at 1700hrs (GMT).
Thank you and love to know your thoughts, P&I cheers 🍷😀😀
