Alternative living since 2014 🌍
Hey, I’m Beth, photographer, storyteller, and traveller.
What started as a short trip turned into a life of full-time travel, slow living and chasing freedom around the world. Since leaving home in 2014, I’ve lived out of backpacks, worked countless jobs abroad, and documented the highs, lows and beautiful chaos of life on the road.
Over the years I’ve worked on farms, boats, in bars, as a cleaner, singer, online English teacher and creator, doing whatever it took to keep travelling. This channel is for anyone who feels stuck, dreams of travelling full-time, wants to build a life outside the ordinary, or simply loves seeing the world through honest, human stories.

Hello guys :) Hope you're all having a lovely weekend! I'm sad to say I won't have a video up this Sunday, I'm at a campervan/motorhome event this weekend (doing a talk about my drive to Türkiye) and so the upload just won't be possible due to time and internet connection. I'll have it ready for you next Sunday, can't wait to share it with you!
Quick question, I'm at another van life event next weekend, I was thinking of doing a vlog of some kind, I'm also visiting my parents so maybe even film setting off from there. Let me know what you guys think!
Thanks for being here :)

Hello everyone, I’ve just posted a brand new YouTube video! We are going DEEP in this one, like really deep.
Delving into the topic of why I really find it hard to stay in one place and the effects that travelling full time / and not travelling full time, has on mental health.
I’m also for the very first time on here, sharing an original song, so I hope you like that!
And ALSO, my very first ever sponsored YouTube video (hope you don’t mind) ✨ Really grateful for you guys because without you I wouldn’t be able to share my creativity and do what I love!
Hope you enjoy the video 🧚♂️🌸
Thank you,

There’s a person pretending to be me, using my profile picture and telling people to join a telegram group.
I do not have telegram, this isn’t me! So please don’t click on any telegram links that claim to be from me 🙏🏼
I’m working to solve this issue and get them removed!
Thank you for your support guys ❤️

I’ve just posted a video! It’s a Q&A, I had so many questions I’ve decided to categorise them to make a few Q&A videos, so this one is more focused on the personal questions.
I finally opened up about some of the stuff I don't usually talk about on here, the scariest thing that's happened to me since living in a van, what my parents actually think about all this, how (and if) you make friends when you're always moving, the first steps I took to start this whole abstract life, and some of the life lessons that I learnt along the way.
As usual, this is an unfiltered look into van life, so go easy on me :) Lets have a chat in the comments of the video, let me know what you think!
Thanks for your support :)

Ps. The audience participation in this video is: choose a question from the video and leave your answer to it in the comments (If you want to play along) :) Would love to get to know you!

I'm THINKING about doing a cheeky Q&A video soon... But I'm gonna need your help with the Q side of things! Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions you'd like answering in one of my up and coming videos. The funnier, the more entertaining, the deeper, the most practical. It's all up to you I guess!! Lets goooooooo 👀

Sooo I posted a new video yesterday and I'm not gonna lie, felt vulnerable! Talking about the things I regret about my van build feels like I’m admitting I got things wrong. Which I did obviously because you can’t get everything right all the time. And also, I REALLY love this van. So trying to talk about both of those things at the same time in one video was a strange experience! Because I really do see my little home through rose tinted glasses even after all these years :)
Anyway. It's up. Ten regrets, ten loves, completely honest as always. I'd love to know if any of you relate, whether you live in a van, a house, a tent, or anything in between. Because I think the feeling of loving something imperfectly is pretty universal really.
Just pop over to my home page to find the video to watch. As always, no pressure ☺️

Hey everyone, I’ve just uploaded a new video which is my very raw, very realistic, very honest: solo female van life morning routine! I filmed it and almost scrapped it entirely because I thought it was a bit too realistic BUT then I remembered thats literally the whole point! So let me know what you thought, don’t take the micky out of my breakfast okay?! Haha! Thanks for your support guys, I really appreciate every single view and every single comment :)

Hi guys! I’ve been a little quiet on here lately, been so busy and while it’s been really sunny I’ve been spending most of my time outside 🤍
How are you all and what have you been up to?
Looking forward to hearing from you ✨

Hi all :)
I just uploaded a brand new video! its all about how I could afford my van and how I could afford to travel in the first place. Well, believe me when I say you get the whole (well maybe not the whole story as we would be here all day) but a majority of the general gist of the story of how I could afford to travel the world since 2014 (well, until I started slowing down in south Wales).
So let me know what you think of it, its a bit of a personal one so please be kind. and thank you for your support :)

Hello, How's your week going? Would love to hear all about it :)
I've been hiding away this week, the weather has been a little gloomy so I've been taking that opportunity to do some editing! I've filmed a little video all about my story and how I came to live in a van, how I funded it along the way (spoiler: working class kid with no degree) etc. So I hope you guys will like it.
I'll be posting it on Sunday at 18:30 UK time. Anyway, enough waffling from me, let me know what you've been up to and what you've got panned for the weekend :)
