Real budget travel with a British backpacker — hidden gems, walking tours, and honest, unscripted vlogs.
I’m Stu — a 56 year old British backpacker showing what travel’s really like. No drones, no script, no sugar-coating — just raw, unscripted adventures across the world on a tight budget.
I’ve been vlogging daily for 3 years, exploring the places most travellers skip. From back-alley markets and weird temples to tiny towns and border mishaps, it’s all here — honest, funny, messy, and 100% real.
Right now I’m deep into a new trip across Asia — running 10k in every town I hit, dodging dodgy hostels, and documenting it all as I go. I’m also testing travel merch and occasionally fixing tech with a hammer.
If you like quirky finds, backpacker tips, or travel with a bit of edge… you’re in the right place.
