We’re Dom & Emma, and we live in China 🇨🇳
Always Away is where we share everyday life here: what it’s actually like living in China, the food we eat, the places we explore, and the things that catch us off guard.
Before moving to China, we spent years travelling and living on the road. Now we’re based in Shanghai, filming daily life and travel around China.

We visited the world’s BIGGEST Hello Kitty Land!🇨🇳
Thanks to our VPN completely not working in China for the last two months we have been totally offline for what feels like forever 😭 BUT we’ve finally found one that is working and we are back online! 🤦♀️ Aaaand we have just spent the weekend exploring Anji’s tea plantation and Hello Kitty Land! ✨Expect a video at the end of the week 🥰
For some reason Let’s VPN no longer works in China and they’ve completely withdrawn service, so if you’re coming to China we recommend getting yourself on Astrill!

Channel Update: ✨Hey! As you know we are awful at being consistent with our uploads haha so we have decided that going forward we will post one video a week and our upload day will be Wednesdays! Our little break from uploading has given me a chance to catch up on editing and get a bit ahead on our videos. 😊
Really excited to share our next two videos, our recent trip to Harbin and Beijing was one of the most memorable we’ve ever done. Our Harbin video will be out next week 🥰🇨🇳

Happy 2026! 💖 Currently sifting through hours of footage from our time Harbin, the coldest city in China. No doubt one of the best trips we've ever had, from sliding down the worlds longest ice slide, to cosplaying as a Russian Princess and eating questionable fried chicken flavoured ice cream. Looking forward to sharing this adventure with you! ✨

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you're all enjoying the holidays 🥰🎄
We spent our Christmas day on the Great Wall of China, absolutely surreal, but freeeezing 😂 This morning we've just arrived in China's coldest city and now it's -25C here 🫣 Can't wait to share the experience with you! Happy New Year!

Our attempt at a daily vlogmas was shattered by our weekend road trip 🙈
This weekend we rented a car and drove over 400km from Shanghai to a remote mountain village, before almost running out of fuel… and stumbling across an incredible water forest.
Can’t wait to share this adventure with you!

Our luggage got left behind in Beijing while we changed connecting flights, finally the box while all of our clothes made it back to the Uk 5 days after us! We were sure we’d never see it again 😂
