My Story

Born and raised in the UK, I now call Thailand home. Between 2017 and 2022, I travelled to nearly 40 countries. I planned to settle in the Philippines, but a layover in Bangkok turned into months… and I never left. Thailand quickly felt like home. I’ve always admired creators who travel and share their lives. Working as a producer and video editor for Uncle Roger gave me insight into content creation as a business. After realising the 9-to-5 life wasn’t for me, I began creating videos while travelling — but things really took off in Thailand. Now, I share authentic local experiences and the realities of living here as a young foreigner. My journey has been full of learning, connection, and adventure — and I love sharing that with my audience. I also create resources to help others move and settle in Thailand, making the transition easier and more welcoming.
