We’re a family of 4 who swapped the “normal” UK life for full-time adventure 🌍✈️
No routine.

07/11/2026

One of the questions we get asked over and over again… how do we afford to travel full-time without jobs?

The answer is property. 🏡

We've owned rental properties in the UK since around 2015 and have gradually built up to three.

The rental income helps pay for our lifestyle while we travel the world as a family of four.

I actually stopped working around 18 months before we left the UK, so technically I retired at 33!

We're not millionaires, we didn't inherit anything and we didn't have financial help from our parents. We're just an ordinary family who made some decisions and worked towards a different lifestyle.

Six months in Thailand, and now we're exploring Malaysia! 🇲🇾

It's not necessarily the route for everyone, but it's what has worked for us.

Would you swap the traditional 9–5 for a lifestyle like this?

We just finished 6 months in Thailand as a family of four, and now we're in Malaysia for the next 4 to 5 weeks. 🇲🇾 Next, I'm showing you exactly what we spent to travel and live in Thailand. Is it a lot? Compare it with other families doing the same thing and tell us what you think. 💸
Follow so you don't miss the full breakdown. 🌍

We're a family of four, 8 months into full-time travel, and we've just left Thailand after nearly 6 months there. 🇲🇾 Crossed by ferry from Satun to Langkawi, and already loving a few things: no ATM fees, British plugs (no adapter needed), and cooler, less humid weather.
We've got a week here exploring, scooters, tours, the lot. Drop your Langkawi recommendations below! 👇

23/10/2026

We're leaving Thailand. I didn't think I'd be saying it, but people told us "give it 6 months and you'll be leaving," and they were right, just not for the reason they thought. Our DTV visa only lasts 6 months at a time. 🇹🇭

Thailand has been amazing: the views, the people, the food, the kids have loved every bit of it. Even rainy season didn't put us off.

Next stop: Malaysia 🇲🇾 Follow along for the next chapter! 🌍

23/10/2026

We made it to the Similan Islands, open today, the first day back after being closed for 5 months. 🏝️ If you've only got limited time in Thailand, my recommendation: skip Maya Bay and come here instead. Way less crowds, and you can actually swim. Save your money.
Follow along as we continue travelling Thailand and beyond! 🌍

22/10/2026

Maya Bay just reopened 1 week ago. If you want to come, it's beautiful, but you're only allowed ankle deep now, tourists destroyed it over the years, which is why swimming's banned and there are baby sharks protecting it. The view's nice, everything else is a bit underwhelming, and with 5,000 other people there, I can't really complain, I'm one of them too. 😅🏖️

Follow along as we continue travelling the world! 🌍

21/10/2026

Thailand is so dangerous, if you're thinking about coming, don't. 😂 Because once you're here, you won't want to leave either. We've been here on and off since February, and it's been beautiful. Travelling on a DTV visa, up to 5 years, and we've already done Thailand and Laos. Follow along as we continue around Asia! 🇹🇭🌍

20/10/2026

🏝️ Thinking about selling everything and moving to Thailand? Watch this first!

We were one of those families who left the UK, so I'm definitely not judging anyone who wants to do the same. 😂🇹🇭

But I do think people sometimes fall in love with what they see online without realising that this lifestyle isn't for everyone.

The beaches are beautiful, the food is incredible and the people have been amazing, but moving abroad is a massive decision.

My biggest advice? If you can, keep your property and come out for a month first. Experience the lifestyle for yourself before making such a big decision.

Because if you arrive and realise it's not for you, going back and starting again can be tough.

Would you sell everything and take the plunge, or try it first? 👇

19/10/2026

How much does it really cost to travel full time with two kids and a wife? We spend about £1,800-£2,000 a month, but that's just us, every family's lifestyle is different. Full monthly breakdown dropping soon, follow along! 💸🌍
