Daily backpacking vlogs – raw, honest, and unpolished
I’m Stu – a 56-year-old ex-British Army bloke turned full-time budget backpacker and daily vlogger. I travel the world on a shoestring, sharing raw, unscripted videos from the places most tourists skip.

Buy Me a Coffee helps me stay on the road: it covers beds, SIM cards, and fuel for the chaos.
If you’ve ever wondered what real travel is like — no tours, no fluff — you’re in the right place.

Anyone can pick up an injury, but when you’re solo backpacking through off-the-beaten-track parts of Thailand — and you're someone who gets bored easily — it's a proper nightmare. A week ago, I had a fall in Buriram. Just a small stumble at the time, but it left me with banged-up ankles. Since then, they’ve gone from “just sore” to infected — thanks, tropical humidity. I’ve debated...
