- In today's video we tell you not only our story but the story of Aimee being diagnosed with Cancer, Craig's near death experience breaking his neck and how these life changing experiences have made us live life to the fullest.
We also chat about where and when Kinging-it began and how it's evolved into the channel it is today.
We have travelled the world and taken you with us, but do you really know the real Craig and Aimee? We're stripping it back. Here's how we met, in a nutshell.

So sweet!!
I have just discovered you via Eamon and Bec's channel; your story is so moving and incredibly inspiring. You definitely have one more subscriber and Patreon. Much love to you both. I may be late to the party, but I look forward to being part of your journey going forward.
Aw Simon - thanks very much for being so kind! Welcome to the mad house 😆

Same! You guys are amazing. I’ve been binging all of your videos!
Me too! You guys are an inspiration
I found you through K&N and E&B, and I'm obsessed with your channel now. I'm so excited to see the rest of your journey. You're both so strong and inspiring! Love hearing the good and the bad, to know I'm Not so alone in my struggles! You both deserve nothing but happiness. And Aimee you're gorgeous btw inside and out!

Me too. Found you brought the other channels. We have just n
Brought our first motor home and looking forward to making memories too. Love you guys.
Sameee
I didn't know about the video where Amy got slapped by a fish. I laughed so bad. Can't believe that happened.
I saw that ages ago, but only just found out that it was Amy through discovering Kingingit a few days ago!
So pure, so honest, Love it. I‘ve broken three vertebras one year ago, almost died, now I walk again, I‘m living in my Van and watch your video and I‘m just happy about „the little things“ thanks for sharing your story. made me cry, made me laught! Lots of love from Switzerland.
Ok, anyone else cried the whole video? 🥹❤️ Love you guys!
oh my god MSN messenger..... the glory days!
ha ha - loved this film guys - you are the master storytellers ;-)
haha I WISH i could get into my old e-mail and find the emails we sent each other - we'd have a right laugh! 😂
I remember how mad I got when MSN was over, and I was forced into Skype!!!
I found a crack that allowed me to still use MSN (because normally it just wouldn't work anymore) and speak to my contacts who were using Skype.
And then, there was Facebook, and then Whatsapp....
I had over 5K contacts on my MSN..... I still miss it!!
What an amazing story. I love how encouraging you guys are about ruling your own life. It's really amazing to see that. I'm happy I stumbled onto your channel. Happy travels
Ah what a story, you two! We are motivated by similar experiences and I think remembering that life is not guaranteed to continue has driven so many of our choices.
When Craig received the message saying that Aimee was cancer free I cried. You guys are such an inspiration. Thank you for the great laughs and awesome content!
Aw Thanks for watching Sofie! 😊❤️
I just discovered you, and I'm so so happy that I did! The way you create your videos is so satisfying and I just love you guys already after only watching 3 videos. I hope to watch everything, and cheer you on through all of your adventures!
I'm so thrilled for your parents. They must be so proud. Thank you for sharing your beautiful lives.
So glad I watched to learn your story (or at least parts of it) from the start of Kinging It. You are such a dynamic pair. I am so grateful that you found a counsellor who helped you back on your journey together. God Bless. Keep on keeping on! Sending greetings from Niagara Falls, Canada.

Struggling to find myself a good priced builders van in lockdown. Noticed minibuses were the only bargains so in a mad moment bought a 20 plate transit 17seater . Thinking of keeping two seat in the back for me little best friend granddaughter Cleo.
Then enter you pair . You tube mind benders and the Pembrokeshire west wales blog . It was 44 year ago when a friend family tuck me camping
On that beach. So now hooked on all custards trips. and the old green vivaro will have to last . Wife hates flying anyway . Van build for me and Cleo. From the first time I stumbled across your videos on CZcams you pair sparkle just different .
sorry it took me a while, i had to pause the video and watch some channel's videos from 2014 to 2018.
thanks guys for all the good vibes you send throughout the years and thank again for this beautiful story.
you guys literally proved that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". Be though as always and "Rule Your OWN World".
Aw thank you ❤️😊ALWAYS ryow!! 💪🙌
Inspirational, thanks for being there and giving us a lift. Keep safe and hope we're all back on the road soon.
Thanks for your honesty and sharing. Keep KingingIt!
Wow this made me super emotional! So happy that you found each other. You’re definitely each other’s penguins x
Just found you guys recently. I went to school with Kara and Nate..they were a couple grades above me so I didn't really know them. Although..I did try out for cheerleading one time and Kara was the cheerleader that was teaching me how to cheer. (I was awful tho lol) I remember seeing her around school tho and she was exactly like she is now. Anyway..I'm obsessed with you guys now too! I found you just a couple days ago and cant tell you how many videos I've watched so far. I'm glad I found this one cuz I've wanted to know your story so much! You guys are amazing. And I'm so lucky to have found you. You have made me smile so much in the last couple days. And I so appreciate that. I'm excited I still have so much catching up to do so I can continue smiling thru them all. You have no idea how much I've needed these smiles and laughs either. So truly thank you so much for just being yourselves and sharing it with us all. 💜💚
Awesome story guys - thanks for being so open and sharing the story of your lives. Truly inspirational. Take care on your future travels
What a beautiful story Craig & Aimee! Keep ruling your own world :)
Guys, I don’t know if you’ll ever read this comment. I’ve been a follower for a little while now but this is all new to me. You have both always been an inspiration to me but after watching this, even more so. You are meant to be together and do what you do. I’m too poorly and old to do anything you do but I love you both. I live my dreams through you ❤️xx
I absolutely love you guys! My husband and I have just bought a van, freaking out about the build but it’s happening! Wish we’d had the chance to meet you when you were in NZ, we live just over the hill in Wanaka. Keep doing you 🧡
Aw no way! Wish we'd have known - could have done with some friends back then haha! Aw congrats on the van! Dont even worry about the build - get some tutorials up on youtube and just have a crack at it together - just remember to have fun - ours is a little wonky - but she our wonky! haha 😂
I've been following you guys for quite a while now and this video just popped up as a suggestion. I literally cried 5 times during these 25:00 minutes. I don't even know you guys but I you touch me with your humor and now also with your touching stories. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
I was directed to your channel by an Iranian friend who loved your portrayal of and enthusiasm for his country. I have since followed your other travels and have really enjoyed them. However I have only now seen your ‘history’ video and it really explains the zest for life and the love and respect you show for each other and the people you meet on your travels. A welcome change from the negativity of our modern world. Best of all, you are Welsh!
well apparently ive been watching you lot for multiple years, doesn't feel like it :) cant wait for your new adventures
Thanks for tagging along Suzi!
So lovely to get to know you guys a little more. Wishing you happiness and sunshine !
OMG! I cried the whole video! What you two have gone through .... holy moly! But I can see why this would also contribute to bringing you two so close. I am so proud of you both for what you went through as well as what you have accomplished! Thank you for sharing with us as well as your true authenticity. Keeping it real like you both put it. I see you both as this life times complete loves (Twinflame Union). So happy for both of you and keep on keeping on! I love your channel as of a few weeks now! Oh and OMG!! I love the dress you had on Aimee to the awards event! You looked stunning! xoxo
You are two beautiful and wonderful people. You're so gifted and life has given you a second chance to make this world you have created rock. Keep making us laugh, cry, smile, and dream of adventures around the world. Your videos give me much hope and joy that we can do anything if we put our minds to it. We just have to be kind to ourselves as well as each other. Hugs to both of you and thank you so very much for sharing your brave life experiences with us.
Aw Heather, thank you so much!
We'll never take our second chance for granted 😊
hugs back! ❤️
Heather Whitehall-Thompson well said 👍❤️
@Heather Whitehall Such a good reminder, and I agree, that it's so crucial to be kind to ourselves as well as each other.
I love you two! You're master manifestors. This is my first time watching. I subscribed and liked. You have a powerful message to give the world. The best way to lead is by example and you two are the cheesecake! I'll keep watching. ❤🌈
So glad you added that part in the end. Because everything about this video is something I admire!! You guys seem like one of the most precious pairs of people out there! I pray I have a relationship like yours one day
Amazing stuff guys and wonderfully inspiring! Can’t wait to see the next trip and what madcap adventures come next! See you on the road!
It's a week or two, I've became familiar with you and the first word reaches to my mind after each video is exactly the last sentences in this last video: "This couple are REAL." And it's so precious, so Keep going. Hope you'll find the truth one day in your journeys.
Thank you M.Moshen 😊❤️
Wow, I'm so glad everything has worked out for you! I do understand how those sort of experiences can change your life. When I was 23, a few months after my daughter's birth, I started getting flashes going on and off in my left eye. I didn't think much of it at the time, but after a few months I finally went to the doctor. He said to me, if you don't have a surgery now, you will go blind. It turns out I had a retinal detachment in my left eye and retinal tears in both. The recovery wasn't pleasant to say the least, but at least nowhere near as hard as what I imagine you went through and I managed to keep my eyesight. I had to give up studying for a law degree though. It kick started panic attacks that lasted for about 6 months and depression that lasted for years (I've been free from it for 3 years now!)
A few months later, the 3 of us where in a car accident. Me and our daughter were fine, but a week later, my husband's eyesight kept dissapearing. We rushed to the A&E. In the accident one of his arteries in the neck had torn and he had carotid artery detachment, he was getting mini strokes, which caused his eyesight to go off. It also took a while to recover, but he fully recovered from it, baffling the doctors.
The thing is I wouldn't change anything about those experiences, because they really did teach us a lot about ourselves, each other and the importance of life!
I wish you both all the best in the world! And I can't wait to keep watching your journey!
Aw goodness you guys - what an ordeal YOU have been through!! ❤️ This sound so very scary and we're over the moon you manage to get through it all! Just shows all of your strength and courage! What doesn't kill us makes us stronger right! 😊 You guys stay safe now you hear!!
@@kingingit Thank you, guys! I agree, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
Such a beautiful story! Such a great introduction to who you are and what has influenced you throughout your journey!
Oh my! I've just discovered you guys and kinda watching things backwards but the more I watch the more I love you guys! Your energy and attitude to life is priceless!!! Keep on being awesome and thank you xxx
This is so beautiful and inspiring. I'm battling my cancer journey myself and I can't wait to have my life back. Thanks for hearth warming story guys. Keep up the good work!
You'll get your life back - good fighting!
I received the same message live life to the full seek and find Jesus ! I am so grateful He gave my life back with a compelling to share the msg. GOD BLESS
Ah that was lovely, love watching you two, hope it's not too long before you can get back on the road....thanks for being you xx
Well what a great nutshell introduction for a new sub!!! I'm sorry you've both had such trials at young ages, but what a way to spur on am amazing journey. Honest and open and hard conversations are key to love longevity.
The love that you both have for each other really comes through. 💕 Thank you for being so real. Would love to see you back in Australia again someday. 💐🚐
Thanks you guys. I have a bucket list adventure I need to tick off which involved Aus - so it will definitely happen - when? We have no idea! 😂
Ultimate meaning of " Living " 😁
You guys are incredible. I discovered you guys via Eamon & Bec, and I’m so glad I did! And with what those guys are going through right now, how blessed are they to have friends like you guys, with your experiences and your strength! What an incredible story..And to see two normal people from Wales doing this!! I also went to uni in Plymouth, 2016-2019 so a little bit after you, Aimee ;)
Inspiring as always, I've been a fan from the beginning and you two truly are soul mates... I have my soul mate, 14 years and he is my whole life. We are lucky.
Thank you for everything keep climbing your mountains and I'll be watching and cheering you all the way 😊
I’ve watched you guys for a while now and I didn’t even knowwww it’s your video (amy being slapped with a fishhhh) 😭😭😭😭😭
haha there it is!
You guys are my favorite!! Thank you for always being so transparent! I hope and pray that god gives you health, and finances to keep making what you love! I also pray for positivity and love for you both and this channel ❤️
Aw Shirley, thank you so much. ❤️🙏
Wow what a crazy back story, so glad you too are fit and healthy today and bringing us these awesome videos!!! You two seem like fun beautiful humans!!!!
I’m new to your channel, so this backstory is really meaningful for me. I really admire you two. My husband and I could get on each other’s nerves after only two weeks in our motor home, so I can’t imagine what it takes for you to be so positive and loving, full time. Going through such harrowing experiences must have created such a powerful bond!
I've never seen two people live so well in all my life.
Most people live their entire lives tethered to a secure ho-hum life and then there's YOU!!!!!
Perhaps after this virus you can review your plans
You guys are absolutely amazing! Such an inspiration both of you
So touching and wonderful, amazing editing and production - great video, had me crying happy tears x
Thanks Angie, it took ages to put together so thanks for noticing!
Such a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing with us. 💖
You two are sensational! I have been dreaming of Van life for a while but didn't know where to start or how to begin but your story is so inspiring! I will be following along with you two and hopefully starting my van life myself one day.
What a lovely story. You have been through so much the both of you. No one watching can't help but be inspired to be the best person possible and to just get out their and live the greatest life possible. Greatest respect to you both.
Thank you for sharing your lives!
Oh my gosh you don’t realise how much I am crying this story is so beautiful and such a good outcome!
Been following for ages and even though I know the entire story, watching it again through this video was super inspiring. Looking forward to the next challenge.
Wow! I'm just got around to viewing this. I've been watching you two for a few months (via Kara & Nate). You have an incredible story. No wonder you just decided to go for it! All the best and continued good health to you both.
We just adore you two! Thank you for this beautiful video! I’ve been crying off an on while watching! We can’t wait to see where you take us next!!! 💕💕 Cara
Aww you guys - it wasn't suppose to be a sad vid! We tried to keep upbeat haha. Can't wait to get out there now - getting major itchy feet!!
You guys are amazing! So much more strength!
Thank you Diana. We're feeling super strong now - we're better together for sure. Can't wait to take on the world again when it's ready for us! 😊❤️
