Travelling Full Time Since 2014
Hi! I’m Beth, a social media creator, photographer and teacher of all things travel.
I began travelling in 2014 with what I thought would be a short holiday. I’ve now been travelling around the world full time for seven and a half years, taking photographs, writing about the places I’ve been and immersing myself in new cultures.
During my time on the road I’ve had so many different jobs. From working on farms, in bars, on a boat, as a cleaner, as a singer, an online English teacher and content creator./ influencer.
Heres my advice to you:
“Stop waiting for the weekend, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now.” – Beth Johnstone @sheisthelostgirl

Guys I have something to tell you…
I know I’ve not been on YouTube for ages, but I’ve been working on something huge that I’ve always wanted to do. And that’s to help others live their dream lives. I’m compiling EVERYTHING I know about starting a business, growing a brand, as well as keeping my mental health in check and some secret stories too.
It’s all here: www.patreon.com/cw/sheisthelostgirl
No pressure to join, mostly: I’d love some feedback and to see what you think of what I have to offer 🌿
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I appreciate your support ✨

Hello Friends! I'M BACK on YouTube! Well for now I'm easing myself back in with a few short form videos and I hope to get back onto some kind of schedule with posting longer videos. Jake will be taking more control over the Our Wild Horizons page while I focus on more informal chatty videos on here. I have no idea what video I'll make first, is there anything you'd like to see/ hear about?
As you know if you follow me on the other app... We built a new van, it's a huge luton and it's got a magical window. I can't wait to show you more and take you along on some of the adventures we go on! Here's a little intro into the new van! What do you think?! :D

The FASTEST Zip Line IN THE WORLD - In Wales?! If you want to see what it's like, that's what this video is all about. The video is 8 mins long, no faff as usual. Starts off in the Zip world carpark and ends in the Zip World carpark. So if you're thinking if trying this, this video will give you a clear idea on what to expect!
Thank you in advance to anyone who watches this video, I APPRECIATE YOU <3
(Just head to my YouTube page and click "videos" to find my most recent one)

Hi Friends!
In todays video i'm ALONE.. Facing the struggles of loosing the confidence to be independent over the last 3 years of living in the van with Jake.
It's a proper REALITY video so if you're looking for something beautiful and aesthetic, this isn't the video for you! But if you want to see what solo van life is really like.. Click on my latest video!
Thanks so much everyone!

🚨 NEW VIDEO 🚨 you might know that I lived out of a backpack for 5 years and in the van for 3 years. So I’ve used all my knowledge and experience to talk about the PROS and CONS of each lifestyle, in the hopes that it helps people wanting to travel full time, decide how to do it ✨
What do you prefer?

Hi Friends! I've just realised that this is my first "community post' in 2023! I hope you're having a good one so far!
My first video of 2023 is now up, its a 12 hours in 12 minutes day in the life (very realistic day of van life) video. Just click over to my channel to see that! It includes showering, our friends van getting stuck, a fire, morning routine, work and more!
This year my plan is to put up two videos per month (every other Monday), maybe if I get time I'll put up some bonus videos too. At the moment my video set up isn't the easiest, I have a very large heavy camera that I cant hold up for too long for vlogging (which is why this video was all filmed on my phone). However I've been saving up for a new Gopro for vlogging, so I'll pick that up when I'm in the uk in one months time before Morocco!
Please let me know if you have anything you'd like me to make a video about!

Hi friends!
Today I have a video all about how I take care of my skin and hair while living in a van! Also my silly little makeup routine 😆
I try to use natural things instead of things with chemicals, so if you want to start transitioning into chemical free products this will be a good video for you ❤️
Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend and I wish you happiness for your week ahead ✨

Hi Everyone!
I Hope you're having a lovely week so far!
We've had a really busy one! We went from Croatia to Montenegro to Albania and we've both already called in love with Albania within a couple of days.
Its so quiet, so cheap and right now we are parked up on the beach! There are cats and dogs everywhere and the animals and people are so friendly!
ANYWAY... I have a new video here on YouTube today and its all about how much money I spend in a month doing full time van life :)
You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/NBYf8NFIt_E

My first community post ✨
I just want to say the biggest THANK YOU to all of you guys who have supported me by watching my videos, subscribing and leaving such lovely comments!
I want you to know that I appreciate every single one of you! I only post ever other week (on Monday), the fact that I already have 4 videos up makes me realise that time is FLYING by so fast! Anyone else’s months just flying by at the moment?
Anyway, I have some really exciting things I’m working on at the moment, one of them being a new website! Can’t believe I’m reading my entire website but it’s going to be so much better and easier to use! Can’t wait to share it with you :)
Please let me know what video you’d like to see from me next 🥰
