Episode 2 of Indonesia will be online tomorrow!!

Exactly what time I’m not sure yet, racing to get everything finished today but we’ll see how it goes.

Thanks for alllll the lovely feedback on episode 1!!

It’s always tricky making travel films.

Sometimes you can go on an incredible trip but it doesn’t always translate to the most entertaining episode.

Sometimes trips can go wrong but it ends up being very entertaining! (The worst is where the trip isn’t good and it makes a sh*t video 😉)

Sometimes though the stars align and a fantastic trip turns into a film that I’m super proud of. That’s certainly the case with Indonesia.

Hopefully everyone enjoys episode 2, different vibe to episode 1 so I’ll be curious as to which one people enjoy more 😊👍

Indonesia series release dates:

Fri Aug 7th - Ep 1: Jakarta > East Java > Gili T

Fri Aug 14th - Ep 2: Lombok > Komodo

Just need to do the finishing touches to the series. For the next few days I’ve got family over from the UK visiting and I had to get some paid brand work finished beforehand.

Right now episode 1 is 70 mins long, although need to give it a watch through and may cut some down, depends how the pacing works (sometimes I add small bits in to improve the pacing).

Episode 2 is on track to be about 60 mins, although haven’t edited the last 2 days and outro yet.

I’m also gonna do a follow up video of Indonesia tips and tricks, what we spent etc.

Soooo excited for everyone to see this series, you’re gonna love it 😊

Indonesia series will be out at the end of next week!!!

(As long as there's no delays from the sponsor 😂)

Hi everyone, getting ready to release the next 2 part series, as Luke and I spent 2 weeks travelling round Indonesia. SO EXCITED for you to see this, absolutely loving how the film is coming together - not quite finished yet, but I'm getting there!

In the meantime, there'll be a video out in the next day or 2, which is a product review video of a Hypershell exoskelton. Now I haven't done product reviews on the channel before, but I've got bills to pay! 😜

Actually had a sponsor drop out for the Euro road trip I did in June (their marketing budget got slashed), so this little product review video is actually funding that entire trip.

I know it's the not the usual thing you'd expect on this channel, but it's only 15 mins so do me a favour and give it a watch, will help secure more money for the channel in the future 👍

There's also gonna be a YouTube short, a 60 second promo for an ebike as well, because hey, you're not gonna say no to a free ebike.

BUT ANYWAY, as for the regular programming:

- there's the 2 part Indonesia series coming up

- then at the start of September I'll release the Euro road trip film (just 1 episode) as my mate Adam and I drove his Aston Martin v12 from London to Lake Como

- and then from mid Sep to mid Oct I'll be filming my one and only tour for this year, as we head to Central Asia travelling through the 5 Stans.

Loads to look forward to! 😊

Hi everyone,
First of all THANKS so much for all the lovely feedback on episode 1 of Japan - really glad everyone's enjoying it!

And secondly, apologies for the delay with the release of episode 2. It should've been out yesterday.

Episode is all done, I've just been waiting over a week for the sponsor to watch the 75 second integration and sign it off. Soooooooo frustrating.

It's gonna be worth the wait though, as I'd say ep2 is even better than ep1, plus there's an exciting preview for the Indonesia series at the end!

Thanks for your patience,
Karl

Ok, finally have sign off for episode 1 of Japan!!!

So it’ll be out tomorrow (Weds 27th May), then episode 2 will be out Weds 3rd June and then Japan travel tips video will be out 10th June.

Apologies for the delay but it’s completely out of my control.

I’m flying out June 1st to begin filming my next trip, and the next series that will be out is Indonesia towards the end of July 👍

Soooo the first Japan episode was supposed to be out today, but once again I’m waiting on the video’s sponsor to sign things off (can take up to 2 weeks for a reply to an email 🙄)

So it’ll be out next Thursday or Friday now.

Super frustrating but I appreciate everyone’s patience! The video will be worth the wait 🙂👍

Hi everyone,

Just got back from a month's worth of travelling and filming! And can now give you an update on what's coming up on the channel:

1. 24 Hours in Singapore

This will be a shorter film as I had a stop off in Singapore on the way home, a place I've been to twice before but hadn't properly filmed until now. Expect this out end of next week, probably April 10th.

2. Two Weeks In Japan

Jaime and I had two weeks travelling round in Japan, her first time there, my second, although the vast majority of activities we did were brand new to both of us.

This will be either 1 or 2 episodes, will get a better idea once I start breaking down the footage. Hope to have this out end of April / start of May

3. Two Weeks In Indonesia

Travelling with my mate Luke, we went to Jakarta, East Java, Gili T, Lombok and Komodo.

This will definitely be 2 episodes. Hopefully have this out at the end of May, just have to see how the editing goes.

Start of June I'll be heading back to Europe to film a road trip, and then in September I'm heading to Central Asia to do the 5 Stans tour.

Lots to look forward to and lots of editing to do!! So I best get on with it ;)

Cheers,
Karl
