He's 9 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.679 on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook. Top of my head, I think 10 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:46.399 he's got thirty two thousand followers on YouTube, but that 11 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.359 was the last time I looked anyway.

Then, what did you do 33 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.599 before you've done the travel blogs? And then while going 34 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.039 to travel blogs? 35 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.479 What did I do right? Well? My trade is I 36 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.919 am a graphic designer, graphic artist. I worked in the 37 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:31.360 newspaper industry, which I still do or kind of I 38 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:37.159 did before the before the current situation. I contract to 39 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:42.199 the newspaper industry to do corporate videos. Most of the 40 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.800 corporate videos that I did for the Food and Drink Awards, 41 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.759 the business Woman of the Year awards for the Birmingham Lester, 42 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.520 Nottingham Derby around the Midlands that stopped because of the 43 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.560 current situation, and I decided to take my sort of 44 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.840 like hot be as it was then the YouTube videos, 45 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.439 to the next level and start doing that as a 46 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:11.840 as a full time job, kind of saying. I figured 47 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.520 on doing that literally just prior to the pandemic, were 48 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:16.639 going to do it, and then it hit. But the 49 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.919 pandemic kind of a lot. I gained a lot more 50 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.319 subscribers for it because because it was travel and people 51 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:30.639 couldn't travel. I was showing people, you know, mainly Tenerife 52 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.879 at the time, and they couldn't travel, so it was 53 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.960 bringing them a little bit of positivity in a world 54 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.520 that was a little cloudy at the time. 55 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.879 Yeah, when I actually first looked at your travel blog 56 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.120 early last year, there's no indication that you only did 57 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.000 it because of the pandemic. It was more, you know, 58 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.039 you've been doing it for years and you just love 59 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.319 doing it, that kind of thing. That's the impression I got. 60 00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.840 I did. I loved, Don't get me wrong, I loved 61 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.759 I love vogging, and I've always loved doing making movies 62 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.560 and editing videos. And I started doing my travel vlog 63 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.240 way before the pandemic when I lived over in the 64 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.680 United States, so I was in Hoboken in New Jersey, 65 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.360 and if you look back at my very very first flog, 66 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.040 they were American based. And then I came back to 67 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.040 the UK and did some vlogs here, and then I 68 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.959 went over to Tenerif and kind of hit on a 69 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.800 niche with Tenorief. It was easy to do vlogs there. 70 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.800 I knew it pretty well. The weather was amazing, which 71 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.199 makes filming a lot better and a lot easier. And 72 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.560 there was a lot of places to eat that I 73 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.240 could go eat in places and show people what to 74 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.360 do on the island of tener Reef. And I kind 75 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:53.000 of kept going back there and built up a kind 76 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.560 of a following through Tenerief really, and I've did Grand 77 00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.759 Canario after that, and I got into the market of Tenerif. 78 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.519 And I think a lot of people think I just 79 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.720 film Tenerief, but I will be moving. I'll be going 80 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.279 back after the lockdown to Tenerief, but I am going 81 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.800 to plan on traveling around a lot further Afield as well, 82 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:18.959 the United States, Australia and the Four Eef, so everywhere 83 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.920 I possibly can and show people what a wonderful world 84 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:22.240 it is. 85 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.040 Yeah, I'm guessing you know from you know everything I 86 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:33.560 say is based on me my opinion that these travel 87 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.199 videos are really just an extension of what you actually 88 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.600 love doing the video and in the meeting the people 89 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.040 and you know, just having the fun as you would. 90 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.879 I absolutely love it, and I have to say meeting 91 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:52.160 people along the way is a great thing about the 92 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.600 about being a vlogger. You meet so many different people 93 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.800 along the way, along the journey, and I always say 94 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.160 the I mean a lot of the viewers, and I 95 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.639 call them I don't like to call them fans. I 96 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.480 really disliked the word fans, So I call them friends 97 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.920 of the channel. And I meet them along the way, 98 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.879 and it's just great. You meet so many people, and 99 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.000 it's it's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful thing about being a YouTuber. 100 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.759 Yeah, I've got addicted a little bit of other YouTuber channels, 101 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:32.079 but I certainly look at yours because I think the 102 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:37.079 other reason we got into your channel was we wanted 103 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:41.639 that bit of hope, you know, while behind lockdown. But 104 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.959 obviously we thought you'd been doing it for years. But 105 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.600 what was on Lockdown last April May? We thought, wouldn't 106 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.600 it be nice to go somewhere? And your channel said 107 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.920 ten of Reef and when already booked a holiday to Vietnam, 108 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.040 and we thought, well, we're not going to go there 109 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.319 this year and probably not next and it's still not 110 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.879 any good even today. So we decided to do a 111 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.399 month in Tennerie if that was around July, and then 112 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.519 we've done another three weeks in food Ventura and that 113 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.959 was in October time. So we've got the seven weeks 114 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:22.240 all inclusive in tenne for the same as four weeks 115 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:27.639 non all inclusive self Catherin in Vietnam. So we enjoyed it. 116 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.519 But yeah, you gave us hope. And all the comments 117 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.959 I've had emails about sorry about your videos, is that 118 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.600 exactly what you do. In one sense you're giving people 119 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.800 hope and the other sense you're actually explaining about a 120 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:49.160 destination or about food. I've gone to fish and chips 121 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.439 later because I've got a couple of questions on fish 122 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:52.959 and chips. 123 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:58.079 If I don't forget, I can remind you about fish 124 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.720 and chips. I look like fish and chips soon if 125 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:01.600 he's anymore. 126 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.839 Oh, by the way, it has tick on me to 127 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:11.199 call your sister Soko. But anyway, that's another one. 128 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:14.560 That'scho sister I think everybody has to have some kind 129 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:18.160 of nickname. I'm wondering whether you're actually going to ask 130 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:19.920 me where I got the name Mac Master in one 131 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:20.800 of your questions. 132 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:26.879 Well, I guess only because you're a video person, and 133 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.040 obviously it's not Windows. It's a Mac. You probably use 134 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.720 that's and the master bit. I'm not sure, but I 135 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.919 guess you've learned to use it very well. 136 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.720 Since nineteen eighty six, March the seventeenth, nineteen eighty six 137 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.600 at the Chad newspaper, and I know them inside out, 138 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.360 so I've gained the name of the Mac Master. So 139 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.480 it continued on and it sounds like some kind of 140 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.000 souper heroo, isn't it. So I'm sticking with it. 141 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.120 Yeah, I mean, I'm just thinking about Mac in particular. 142 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.559 I'm not actually ever used a Mac. What is the 143 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:09.799 difference between a Windows where all these pop ups happen 144 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.120 all the time, and and the MacBook. 145 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:19.799 You can't talk to me about Windows. It's my kryptonite, Okay, 146 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:28.200 I just I can't do Windows. It's Max just better. 147 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.480 I think it's more more, more for the creative person, 148 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.480 more for the artistic type. I think, uh, you know, 149 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:36.399 designers and video people. 150 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:40.039 So do you still get I mean anyway, Yeah, I 151 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.559 was going to say, do you still get? Can you 152 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.639 open more than one page on the Mac? That's all 153 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:45.600 I was curious about. 154 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.360 You didn't used to be a two years ago. They're 155 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.240 pretty much the same now. To be honest, I'm pretty 156 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.000 much the same. But what I do So, what I 157 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.679 do say is anybody who's got windows laptops out there, 158 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.039 you shouldn't be allowed to sit in the window of Starbucks. 159 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:04.919 You can only sit in the window of Starbucks if 160 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:05.799 you've got a MacBook. 161 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.840 Absolutely, And maybe they should also be wearing one of 162 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:19.279 these merches from your store, which exactly I've attempted. I've 163 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.759 attempted to try and buy one myself. But I think 164 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:29.080 you need like a big person's size, because even to 165 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.759 extra large, and some of them are not. 166 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:35.080 You know, I think we go to five excel. 167 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.559 Oh, that's not too bad. Then it's just a look 168 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.159 at the hoodie, which. 169 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.320 Is I'll need about ten X. I'll ever eat any 170 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:43.720 more fish and chips? 171 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.639 Well, let's get fish and chips out the way. You've 172 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.000 done thousands of reviews on fishing chips just trying to 173 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:58.279 work out is a favorite one from just keep it simple. 174 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:02.799 You can't underneath because if you've done one hundreds of them, 175 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.120 i'd say, by now the chips and the fish taste 176 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.360 it pretty similar. 177 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.879 I have to say my favorite one in Tennerieve. Everybody 178 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.799 who knows me and watches the channel, we'll know that 179 00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:18.080 it's the Palms. The Palms fish and chip shop in Tennerief. 180 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.480 It's the Bits, just an amazing fish and chip shop. 181 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:25.200 And Lorraine who owns it there, the owner is an 182 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:29.120 absolutely amazing lady. She's brilliant lover of tibets. If she's 183 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:33.120 listening high Lorraine said, pop over and support them when 184 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:36.000 you get back to Tennerief. My favorite one in the UK, 185 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:45.519 i'd probably say the Beard Sailor in Pudsey and Leeds. 186 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:52.919 Yeah. Well, one of my favorite ones years ago, now 187 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.919 well not years ago but ten years plus used to 188 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.279 be in near cambys was in Cambyshire place called Wisbeach, 189 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.240 march Eaily, that area and it was just bang on. 190 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:05.679 You know. 191 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.320 The chips were soft inside but crispy on the out. 192 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:14.200 The battle was crispy and when you put your something 193 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.919 vine and ground them, you could just smell the you know, 194 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.480 the goodness out of them. But now you know, we 195 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.200 go to Yarmouth, SKay, Blackpool, we live in Scotland. You 196 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.720 just can't find a decent fish and chips anywhere, well, 197 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:29.559 at least the place of weavers. 198 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.000 It you need to come to Yorkshire, although I'm told 199 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.240 that Scotland have some of the best as well. But 200 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:40.759 I'm not from Yorkshire, but I do believe that Yorkshire 201 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.320 is the best fish and chips. They're great. But the 202 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.759 palms in ten I love it. And you've got the 203 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.120 scenery as well. You've got the sea, you got the 204 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.080 sea air, You've got the sunshine. Makes it all for 205 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:50.919 the batter, doesn't it. 206 00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:55.960 Yes, it's the atmosphere, isn't it It is? 207 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.519 It is? So moving on from fish and chips, What 208 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.399 are the questions have you? I know you've got quite 209 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.919 a few questions to your listeners have sent in there, 210 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.159 so hit me with the questions. 211 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.679 Yeah, then we'll do questions for well, I was going 212 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.879 to ask you about the COVID nineteen passports and then 213 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:13.039 move on to questions. 214 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.399 Okay, Yeah, let's go for it. 215 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.720 Yeah. Well, the reason I wanted tonight it was hoping 216 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:22.879 that we could be celebrating some good news, but obviously 217 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:26.799 Johnson tonight has said, you know it's in the air, 218 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.480 but we're not going to confirm nothing until at least 219 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:34.879 May seventeen. But your video the other day really some 220 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.799 little in a nutshell, it's still going to be an 221 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.279 unfair system where if you're in amber and it suddenly 222 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:46.879 goes up to red or from green up to amber, 223 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.679 you know people are just going to literally have to 224 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:53.519 drop the suitcase, so pick up the suitcases and bunting 225 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:56.240 the airport quickly, which is not very fair, is it. 226 00:13:58.440 --> 00:13:59.240 I don't think so. 227 00:13:59.440 --> 00:13:59.480 No. 228 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.159 I mean it's funny because as I went out to 229 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:07.399 film the that that episode and it was about the 230 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:12.360 traffic light system sharing, my girlfriend said, you could be 231 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.960 going to be an amber gambler basically. And I know 232 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.519 the system is there to protect you in a way 233 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.279 that if it's green when you go, it goes to 234 00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:25.200 amber first rather than going straight to red, but you know, 235 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.759 you still could have a crossover where if you're there 236 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.399 for two or three weeks, that you you've basically got 237 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.600 a clamber to get back to the UK, So you 238 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.080 could be left stranded because obviously we know the traffic 239 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.120 lights changed as soon as you go through them, but 240 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.200 it's going to be difficult. But at the same time, 241 00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:46.039 like I say, there is like at the end of 242 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:51.720 the tunnel. Well, you know, the UK's very were advanced 243 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:56.039 on the on the on the vaccine front, and there's 244 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:59.320 a lot of countries that are you know, I don't 245 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.639 think tenor e I don't know, but they get in there. 246 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.320 I think in a few months by the let's look 247 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:08.600 at next year. By next year, I think we're going 248 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.440 to be back to some kind of normality because you know, 249 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.799 the vaccine rollout is going to be a lot more advanced. 250 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.919 So I think we're looking at it this way. A 251 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.720 year ago we were we were nowhere near I like 252 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:24.120 at the end of the tunnel. Now we get in there, 253 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.320 so you know it's a positive we're on the way there. 254 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.360 We're on the way now. 255 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.440 Yeah. And I mean me personally, I was just thinking 256 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.159 it would have been fair if they didn't do the 257 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.200 traffic light system in one way, but then you kind 258 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.960 of need both of it, both parts of the equation. 259 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.679 You know, there's no good saying that if you've had 260 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.679 your vaccine, or you've had a negative test, or you've 261 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.240 had the antibodies you can travel because you need the 262 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.840 other part of it. There's no good you going into 263 00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:02.039 a bad country a red because you're just going to 264 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:05.679 bring the virus back. So I guess the only thing 265 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.159 that will heal with that is time. So they might 266 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.080 have a crazy system like that last year for the 267 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.159 rest of this year, but then next year it will 268 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:16.399 probably be a bit more clear. 269 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:20.159 Like you said, I think next year it will be 270 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:24.279 a lot clearer. And I think the problem, the problem 271 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:25.720 or the issue that we had is a lot of 272 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:28.600 us expected that you know, this year it was going 273 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:34.840 to be the end of it, and I personally didn't. 274 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.159 I think until the vaccine rollouts gone ahead. I think 275 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:41.559 by the end of this year will be will be 276 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.799 a lot further to the end of that tunnel. That's 277 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.159 what I think next I think this year is going 278 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:49.559 to be very difficult. If you're going to plan on 279 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.360 going holiday this year, you've got to be prepared that 280 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.919 it may change. You know that things may change while 281 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:57.840 you're out there, whereas next year I think will be 282 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.399 maybe not it's normal, but almost there. 283 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.720 Yeah, like I said last year, then I'll start asking 284 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.599 these questions. We planned Vietnam and we're doing well. The 285 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.599 backup plan was going anywhere. You can always go to 286 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:17.039 tenor Reef, I said to myself, even though I've been 287 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.599 to all the other islands before, but I've never been 288 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:21.920 to tenner Reef. And I went to the North part 289 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.720 as well. So we didn't have a backup plan, but 290 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:27.640 in a way we did because we said, we don't 291 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.720 matter where we go, we just go to Europe. Now 292 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:35.119 this year, like a four, we actually planned to go. 293 00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:38.880 We've got some friends in Bali, so like a fore, 294 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.119 we planned for August in Balley, but that weren't going 295 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:44.960 to happen, so I thought, that's it. Let's do a 296 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:49.480 winter holiday instead. So we're we're hoping for Christmas and 297 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:53.599 New Year now in Turkey because they do lovely, cheap 298 00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.839 winter holidays, and if it don't happen, it'll be ten Reef. 299 00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.799 And if that don't happen, we just give up. 300 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:07.880 Because my next series, I'm starting my next series in April, 301 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.759 well as we're in April, but I'm doing the next 302 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:16.200 series in the UK. And the reason being is, you know, 303 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:19.000 there are loopholes now and I possibly could get over 304 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.079 to Tenory jumping through loopholes because I'm doing it for work. 305 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.480 But I figured a couple of reasons. I thought, lots 306 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.319 of people are going to be holidaying in the UK. 307 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.599 You're going to want to know fun things to do, 308 00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:35.240 places to go, cheap, places to eat, you know, because 309 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.519 we want to we want a bargain when we go 310 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:41.480 around or you do it, you do it for the orchshore, 311 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.839 not TK, Sure, we want to. We want to bargain. 312 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:45.559 And if you've got if you've got a family. So 313 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.400 I'm going to be touring the UK for a couple 314 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:50.839 of reasons, so that I can show people around. We've 315 00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:53.400 got a great We've got a wonderful country. We've got Scotland, 316 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:59.240 you know, Scotland is such an amazing, amazing country within itself. 317 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.400 And we've got whales, you know, We've got Northern Ireland, 318 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:05.519 we've got England, Cornwall. So I want to travel the 319 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:07.720 length of the rest of the UK showing people what 320 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.319 we've got at home for the time being, and keep 321 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.599 some of the keep some of the money in our 322 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:17.000 own economy for the time being. And then once things 323 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:21.440 get a little bit easier and things restrictions left, then 324 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:25.000 I'll start traveling further afield. But I think also at 325 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.119 the same time, it allows me to stay a little 326 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:28.920 bit closer to my family who don't want to travel 327 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:29.680 abroad at the moment. 328 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:35.039 No, they're very sensible. I heard what you said. Families 329 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:37.279 are different to couples. You know, we're just a couple, 330 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.400 so we can take it or we can leave it, 331 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.960 you know, but families you've got to be really careful 332 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:47.880 with young children. Yeah, so the first question was actually 333 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:51.400 a part of that thing you've just said, what places 334 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.319 in the UK are going a visit? And to add 335 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:58.039 on to that, if you're come into the Highlands in 336 00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:00.880 Verness North, there'll be a bit human fish and chips. 337 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:05.519 Wait you're on, I will definitely take you up on 338 00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.359 that one. I've got your phone number, house, We've regiving 339 00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:13.039 you a call. Scotland is on the cards. Cornwall is 340 00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:17.960 a place that I've never been to, but I've got 341 00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.279 friends down there and it's a beautiful part of the country. 342 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.240 Wales as well as a zip wire that goes one 343 00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:27.359 hundred miles an hour or something that thing. So I've 344 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.559 got to do that. I'm going to be doing the 345 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.200 capital where London, I'm going to be doing all the 346 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:39.079 seaside resorts and Wales everywhere. I've got a list of 347 00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:43.559 places around the UK and also where Northern Ireland as well. 348 00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:45.440 So I'm going to be doing lots of different things, 349 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:47.759 but I'm going to be trying to do things that 350 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:53.920 are suitable for families and couples, and also I'm going 351 00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:55.319 to try and do it so that it's on a 352 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:58.119 bit of a shoe drink, because a lot of people 353 00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:02.680 have the vision that you know, England's expensive and we 354 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.400 always rip off Britain and you get a few negative comments. 355 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.319 I've had more positive comments I have to say about 356 00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:12.039 traveling in the UK. Get a few negative comments there 357 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:14.400 and I rip off Britain blah blah blah. So I 358 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.000 want to show the places that where you can get 359 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.000 a bargain, where you can go to around the UK 360 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:24.400 and it doesn't have to cost you a fortune. Because 361 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.160 I'm okay when I'm traveling around doing videos because I'm 362 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.559 getting paid by YouTube for them, But when I travel 363 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.920 around with my family, I have to work to a budget. 364 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:35.440 We have to work for a budget, and I want 365 00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:38.440 to I want to show that for couple and families. 366 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:39.559 So I think that's the way to go. 367 00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:43.119 If you do your research. A lot of websites out 368 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:47.839 there doing exactly that. And if you've got time and 369 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.559 doing central Scotland, I recommend the full kirk Will. It's 370 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:58.000 basically like you're on a narrow boat and they lift 371 00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:02.480 you up high and then it's like a tour. You 372 00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.039 actually get lifted on the public now about and then 373 00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:11.079 lifted down again. The folk Will is quite cheap and 374 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:17.519 families love that. Yeah, okay, next question, then, what's your 375 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:25.960 favorite place so far you've been to? Oh, dear, I'll 376 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.319 guess in your old blogging loads, in your blogging life, 377 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:30.799 in my. 378 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:36.559 O vlogging life. I mean, I obviously I love Tenerif. 379 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:39.519 I film, you know, I filmed many things in Tennerief. 380 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:46.759 I lived in Hoboken, New Jersey for twelve years, and 381 00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:49.759 I love That's on a few my blogs. I love it, 382 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.279 I have to say, and I hope to go back 383 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.119 one day if I can persuade the family to move there. 384 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.319 I'd play Tenerif and the United States days. 385 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:06.640 I don't know why somebody asked this, but it was 386 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:08.960 the person at home that you missed the most? I mean, 387 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:09.880 I'd miss them all. 388 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:14.440 Who's the person at home that I missed the most? 389 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:20.359 Blimey that's difficult because I can't really say one. I 390 00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:23.599 mean I've got, you know, three daughters and a son, 391 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:30.799 and obviously Sarah my family.

No, it's not. 396 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:49.960 What has been the most interesting of food you've ever tasted? 397 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.880 Oh that's a good question.
