About Us

​

Hi everyone. I’m Rachel and the other one is Wills and we’ve been together forever! (well 24 years – man that’s a long time). We both work in the Arts Industry, well what’s left of it on this April day in 2021. Wills is a sound engineer and sound designer and I’m a dance teacher and choreographer.  We live in North Wales with our two ageing ginger cats. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that our favourite days are those spent together and those when we are out and about exploring. So why not share it with you guys.

 

How we started.

​

It all started with the pandemic. We don’t watch a lot of TV, but when we do, our favourite thing is travel programs. During the first lockdown in 2020, we quickly exhausted the Joanna Lumley's, Chris Tarrant's and your Richard Ayoade's. Jane Macdonald..........? Tick – seen 'em all.  We couldn’t travel ourselves, so where could we go?

​

Now, I didn’t ever view YouTube as a TV channel. For me, YouTube is the place to go when you can’t do something e.g. Can’t flip my image in Cava? Go to YouTube, there will be someone who has kindly made a tutorial for all of us idiots out there, so yes, my idea of YouTube was idiot TV. I tentatively put in, ‘travel programs’ to the search bar and that’s when I discovered, ‘The Travel Vlog’. Wow, it was a whole new world. After wading through a fair few ‘pouties’………. you don’t know what a ‘pouty’ iS? I don’t think I’ll explain, I’ll just do an impression in the video below!

Well after all those 'pouties' I stumbled across, 'The Planet D'. It blew my mind - two normal people (well Canadian, but normal enough), making great travel content and not a pout in sight. I was hooked. I watched so much of their material and then wanted to find some Brits who were also doing this exciting crazy thing of travel vlogging. Enter stage left, (you’ll never knock the theatre out of us) 'The Travel Beans', Alex and Emma. Okay, granted they are younger and cooler than us, but I loved the honesty of their content. I finally introduced Wills to this ‘new’ thing I had discovered, and we basically spent the rest of lockdown binge watching travel vlogs. This got me thinking. If we had a vlog, what would it be?

​

​

Covid taught us, that we actually really like and love each other, and we get on incredibly well. Every day's a fab day when you spend it with your best friend. My absolute stand out day of 2020 was when the restrictions were relaxed a bit and we could travel within Wales. We went up to one of the beautiful lakes we have here and spent a fantastic few hours field recording waterfalls (another sideline that Wills has, but I’ll let him tell you about that), climbing waterfalls, exploring and generally having a great time. We came home and sat out with a beer in the sun. This truly is the best life.

What we want to do.

​

We want to make some more, 'us time', and travel to incredible places both near and far. We want to share all of this with you guys and finish each trip with a well-earned pint! Who’s in?  Let’s see the sights and drink the pints, and cheers to the good times.

As a child, whenever we went away, I always had to collect postcards that best fitted where I’d been and how I would remember it, just in case the photos I’d taken were crap. Remember those days? Taking the film to be developed in Max Spielman and hoping to God there was one decent snap in there, only to find the one decent pic of the beach had your thumb across the top of it!  So, there you have it, Postcard and a Pint the idea was born. - Please note, I was not downing pints as an 8-year-old! This came later – age 10…….just joking!
