Hi All, 
Just a quick message of thanks to you all on a Sunday evening. We were really humbled this morning when our little channel passed over the threshold of 25K subscribers. 

Thanks to everyone who watches the channel and continues to support what we do on Early Retirement Wanderlust. We are really grateful. 

Have a great week.

Hi All, 
We are currently on Skye and having a blast...even though we are meant to be heading home, we could not turn down the 48hrs of blue sky forecast 😂🌞 The pic is from the beautiful Fairy Glen.
We have so much lovely footage to share with you from the Outer Hebrides, so we bucked with tradition this morning and released a travel video on a Thursday😬...sharing our great time on Uist and Berneray- the beaches continued to wow us and we found some great honesty box park-ups. 
We hope you enjoy.

Hi All, 
Just to let you know we have been blown away with the number of new subscribers recently- welcome aboard to those people and thanks for all of your support and lovely comments. It reminded us that many of you may not know how we try to structure our weekly videos...so here we go....

✅On Sundays we try to stick to all things van life and travel adventures.

✅On Thursdays we try to stick to all things early retirement, which includes a well-being slot on the first Thursday of the month. 

We hope this helps avoid confusion about our channel. We know that people follow us for different reasons, some for vanlife, some for early retirement, and many of you enjoy both. If you are new to the channel, we wouldn't want you to think that we had lost the plot😂 We just love producing the videos across all these topics. 

Hope you are all having a great week, 

Richard & Jackie 

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to all our subscribers old and new for getting us past the 20K subscriber count today. We are truly humbled by this milestone and cannot believe where this YouTube adventure is taking us. What better place to get the news than at 3000m+ on the La Plagne Glacier❄️🏔️🎿
Thanks again, it really does mean so much to us both. We are loving this journey we are all on together. 
Have a great week🎉

We are home! We have been back in the Dales a few days and quickly managed to get the MacBook sorted- Apple were amazing and turned it around super quick. You will be glad to know we are up and running again, and our next Thailand instalment will be up on Sunday morning as usual. Normal service resumes👍
Thanks for your patience and lovely messages over the last couple of weeks, 
Richard & Jackie 

Disaster has struck- after 6 weeks on the road in Thailand, our MacBook decided it was going to give up the ghost😂 We have had a week of no editing- and cannot upload anything…which has actually been quite nice😉
We cannot see a way of sorting it out until we get home, so we are have pre-Christmas break in the schedule. 
We will catch up with you all as soon as we can👍
Cheers, 
Richard & Jackie 

Hi All, 

We have had such a hectic week last week, that we wanted to let you know that the Early Retirement video we had planned for tomorrow will not be ready...as we haven't had time to film it yet😂 Mainly due to the amazing experiences we have had this week, particularly linked to time with the sea turtles❤️🐢❤️

Sometimes in life, there are more important things than the schedule. 

Tomorrows video will be a hotel review from our time on Koh Lipe, which we know is not something that is applicable to everyone. We have been trying to keep the reviews to a Tuesday. 

Next Thursday we hope to go through how our backpacking budget is going after a month on the road in Thailand. 

Safe to say, we are loving our time exploring this beautiful country🇹🇭

Cheers, 

Richard & Jackie 

Hi All,
We are so excited to share with you in tomorrow's video our 5 days in Bangkok. It's an epic one! It's one of the longest videos we have ever put out, but we have been so busy immersing ourselves in this incredible city we didn't want to miss anything out. There will definitely be something in it for everyone, no matter what your interests. 

Many thanks to all the lovely people who have given us tips and suggestions about our first time in SE Asia. We are absolutely loving the experience so far. 

Just to let you know we are planning on putting out extra videos on a Tuesday, but these will be more in the style of hotel/resort reviews as we found this type of content really useful when planning our trip. They may not be for you if you are not thinking of Thailand as a destination, which is why we have put them in as extra videos each week.

Have a great weekend, 

Richard & Jackie 

Hi All...HELP!!!!!

We are in our final stages of trying to sort out our trip to Thailand and at the moment we only have our flights and 5 nights in Bangkok booked!😂😂😂 We do have some ideas of where we want to go, but know that many of our lovely subscribers have much more experience than us of this part of the world. 

Are there any places you would absolutely avoid, and likewise are there any must see locations that we need to visit. We are not massive city people but are planning time in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, but would love your recommendations for the quieter islands and beaches. We would also like any advice on internal travel options, as we are newbies to SE Asia. 

As you may tell, we are really excited yet a little apprehensive about this trip. 

Thanks in advance, 
Richard & Jackie 

It seems so long since we took this photo. Our summer van adventures are coming to a close after our SW of England road trip, six weeks in Europe and finishing up with our latest video today from Shetland and Orkney. 
In next Sunday's video, we want to answer all your questions that you may have about these 3 very different road trips. 
If you have any questions, please add them in the comments below and we will try and include them in the Q&A video next week. It's our FIRST EVER Q&A session, so please bear with us😬 We are hoping to film it on Tuesday. 
Thanks in advance, 
Richard & Jackie
