Travel with Ben and Paris
In October 2024, we set off to explore the world—and we’ve been capturing every moment since. From the vibrant streets of Naples, Italy, to the bustling energy of Shanghai, China, and the tropical beauty of the Philippines (Cebu, Moalboal, El Nido), our journey has been nothing short of incredible.
We’ve uncovered hidden gems across Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh, Mui Ne, Da Lat, Nha Trang, Hue, Dong Hoi, Hoi An, Da Nang), soaked in the rich culture of Thailand (Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Patong, Phi Phi, Ao Nang, Trang, Hat Yai), explored the food scene in Penang, Malaysia, and embraced the coastal vibes of Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast).
We then headed to New Zealand first to explore through van life, and we now call this beautiful country our home!

Wanted to say a big thank you to our followers! Hope you’re enjoying our New Zealand van life videos!
Shortly, we’re switching from day-in-the-life style videos to location-based videos, including one showcasing over 50 Lord of the Rings filming sites across New Zealand
Our channel is currently playing catch up, but we are now living up in Auckland and would love any suggestions you guys have for days out, dinner spots or anything else!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to our first 100 subscribers! It’s been good fun travelling these past few months and making videos documenting our trip!
The long format videos we’re sharing at the moment are still in Thailand, but we have some great content coming up in: Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand!
Thank you to all our subscribers, we love you all x

We arrive in New Zealand in less than a week. Our plan once we land is to buy a camper van and explore that amazing country!!
We have several videos yet to come out mostly in Thailand, but also Malaysia and Australia. Oh, and one left in Vietnam (it may be our favourite one... a cooking class!).
We've not yet decided what to do with these scheduled videos, whether they will be put on hiatus while we post van-life style videos around New Zealand. Whether the van life videos will just be queued after the Australia videos. Or perhaps the South East Asia travel videos will continue to post every Thursday while we also post our van life adventures.
We are only a small account with 70 subscribers, we appreciate you all --- thanks guys! But if anyone has any preference let us know!

January 26th marks Australia Day, also known as Survival Day. We were fortunate enough to be in Sydney for the celebration! https://youtu.be/KY3nSxIJu9w
As is typical with YouTube travel content, our content takes time to edit and an output flow builds up.
Today’s video will be our celebration of Australia Day 2025 before our content returns to the showing you (and reminding us) of the amazing time we had in Vietnam

Hey everyone! As you all know (or can see from our Christmas and New Year posts) we are in Thailand.
Before we return to posting Thailand videos (I assume we will make some more in the two weeks we have remaining here), we will be sharing our adventures in Vietnam.
Our trip itinerary is:
France —> Italy —> Shanghai (12 hours) —> Philippines —> Vietnam —> Thailand —> Malaysia (~2 days) —> Australia —> New Zealand
January will focus on Vietnam content. In February I expect to be able to post some more Thailand videos before moving on to exploring Australia and NZ.
Enjoy, and all the best for 2025 from Ben and Paris xx

Our latest video showcases how we spent Christmas in Thailand!

Disclaimer: most of our content runs a few weeks behind so before any more Thailand content is posted you’ll see us exploring Vietnam. Hope you enjoy!
Merry Christmas everybody x

We are emigrating to New Zealand in 2025. But first we’re travelling around South East Asia for a couple of months. We intend to video document our travels on this channel.
We hope to show you some cool places to go and things to see! Follow, like and subscribe for long and short videos of our highlights (and maybe some lowlights too!)
