Why Social Media is Dangerous

- Today we are talking about why social media can be dangerous.
Sorry for the delay guys a lot has been happening over the last 2 months. Custard’s bodywork is almost ready to have a brand new colour wrap and we CANNOT wait.
We’ve been a bit quiet on social media lately and have had to take a step back to work on us as a couple. We realised the busy lifestyles and all the behind the scenes stuff meant we weren’t giving each other enough attention, we were arguing constantly and our relationship was slowly slipping away from us. So we decided that counselling would help us sort all of that out - which it did!
So you have a brand new Kinging-it! - We’re back on form with a brand new vlog and with new head space which is just what we needed over the Christmas period!
Thanks for your patience, we hope you enjoy the vlog!

Lucky to call you lads, lads ❤️. Missed watching you two do what you do SO DANG WELL. Welcome back to the Tube friends. We love and respect you for taking the time to make things right at “home” first. Now, come visit us in Africa already 😉
Hahaha! Thank you guys 💗You're such loves to us! 🤗
Custard would look pretty FFLLLYYY in Africa I wont lie.. 😝
You all need to come to the Seattle area! It’s not Africa but it’s beautiful!! Be safe everyone! It’s so cool to see our favorite tubers enter act! We love your meet ups!
I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING 😭It's hard to put into words how much positivity and joy you two radiate. Burn out and depression are horrible monsters, and we're so happy you came out the other side. You couldn't find more genuine people than you two, in this online world full of fake personalities created to sell lifestyles. It takes real guts to make this video and we admire you both so much, for so many reasons. Something good is worth fighting for. You'll be back in your groove before you know it and we'll all be here to share the highs and the lows with you. Keep on Kinging It baby!! ps: Literally cannot wait to see Custards new look, she's gonna be a Queen! 👑👑👑
HAhaha i WAS crying! 😂😂 Wimps the bloody pair of us Soph!
Aw thank you so much. I was a bit nervous about putting it out there, were we sharing too much of our lives? Do people need to know this bit ya know.. but we share the best bits - so why not shares the lows too.
We've said from the beginning of this channel we wanted to be as transparent as possible and really show the realness to this online 'job'. I'm glad we did it now, the response we've had has been pretty overwhelming. Thanks for your kind words miss. 💗
Overlanding Sophia well said, I couldn’t agree more!!!!!
What she said!! ❤️
Huge respect guys and so well said Sophie too. 😎👍❤️
@@kingingit Fantastic vid as usual guys! I think it should be helpful to a lot of people. Be interesting to see the new look Custard but to be honest I think the way you've got the inside set out and decorated looks pretty stunning as is! ;)
I didn't realise how broken I was until I finally went to get some help. Takes a lot of courage to take that first step, even more to admit it to 51,700 of your closest friends! I enjoy your CZcams content but not at the expense of your wellbeing. Take a break when you need to, we'll wait!😃
Could not agree more with Stu's comment, those that love and respect you will still be here when you guys are back.love best wishes and a speedy recovery 😊😊
Ah cheers Stu!
i'm glad we acknowledged the problem and put it straight. If we ever feel the need to do it again of course we will. We know how important it is for us to put each other and ourselves first. ❤️
Hey guys, we just wanted to say that we love your channel and love you even more for taking care of yourselves first! This CZcams gig isn't easy and sometimes a break is necessary. If you ever want to come sailing, we've got a cabin with your name on it. May the algorithm be ever in your favor. -Nikki & Jason
The Wynns!! :-)
You guys are so sweet
😉 hope your both safe over Fiji way, love your videos I hope you make it home to curiosity soon.
Never put anything before your own relationship, that always comes first, that's from a couple who are 38 years married, much much respect for sharing with us, we love you guys 💕💕💕💕
Ah you guys are legends! We can only hope to be as successful as you in our relationship! We are definitely going to put each other first starting from now 🙂💗
This is why I love you guys more than any other CZcamsr couple. We've been waiting for a video from you guys, and have missed you... But I'm so happy you recognized that you needed time for yourselves and actually took it.
Thank you Laura 💗We've had our time and are stronger for it! Bring on a new custard and a new adventure!
@@kingingit Custard will grow with you.
I edited a video for the missus' work once and it took me all bloody day, which gave me a little insight into how much work goes into the videos CZcamsrs do!
Have to say, it was very brave of you to admit that you were struggling a little with your relationship, and exactly why this channel is head and shoulders above other CZcams travel vlog thingies I've watched. Despite having the full CZcamsr starter kit (oversize glasses, charity shop clothes, vegan, Craig's moustache 🤣) the authenticity shines through.
I've had a couple of tough times with my missus where we talked about if it might be easier to walk away, but after a lot of tears we remembered that the reason we're together is that we both found the love of our lives. The most important thing is to face the challenges as a team. and give the missus a snog now and tell her how much I love her 😘
Keep up the good work!!
I really needed this today. When I’m down, I need the hand up and you were the hand up for me today. As a medical professional and a cancer thriver myself, I know “without emotional health, there will be no physical health”. Thank you so much for being you and sharing the real you with us. Love you both.
We love y'all ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks you guys
A: “When I become prime minister...”
C: Big smile
You two are amazing...so happy you’re putting yourselves first and aren’t ashamed to get help when needed.
Rooting for you from Chicago!
Ahh welcome back guys! Thank you for your honesty and for encouraging others to seek counselling if they need it - as you say, everyone should have one! The only thing I regret about going to counselling is that I waited so long to do so. It's nothing to be ashamed of and videos like this help others to see that, so thank you 🙏 so happy to hear how it's helped you guys.. excited to see what happens next for you two!
I am crying eyes out you are so brave in what you have done in coming out in public,showing every one your weaknesses I have the greatest admiration for you,support for you will be immense chin up and RYOW we are with you all the way
This morning I wondered when your next vlog would be and low and behold here you are...Counselling can be a dirty word to some people but I'm a big advocate for it. A qualified stranger can really dig for the right answers and often tell you things that you're too frightened to say out loud. Well done to both of you for sharing the lows as well as the highs, ignore the odd negative Nelly (or Neville lol)...they don't have to watch and I'm happy if they bugger off, it leaves more room for the good stuff! I can't wait for the big reveal and I hope you both continue to love, support and understand each other. xxx
Aw thank you Jacqueline ❤️They really are little angels!
Custard is having her new do this week! Very excited!
You’re Both Fantastic People and are Loved appreciated and Highly Respected by ya Both!
Ah thanks Jack - appreciate it mate 🙂
TRUE, but they were also making a circus out of their social media use and it had started to turn me off, frankly. I prefer more authenticity and a more down-to-earth attitude but that may not be a very British thing... with all the appearances stuff and whatnot. I will watch the video now.
Stopped watching at 3:40.
Thank you for sharing. You guys said it best, you don't throw everything away! My parents just past 63 yrs. I love them and know how hard it is to stay together. Thank you for understanding how hard it is. Love you guys.
Your vulnerability is so courageous and incredible. You both are truly inspiring and I love that you saved each other instead of scrapping it. I have been with my partner for 13 years and we have had our fair share of moments where we have felt so similar but be the change you wish to see in the world and we found that pushing through the darkness makes the bright, light moments so much more worth it. Thank you for sharing this because so many don't and just put out the "relationship goal" material instead of the latter. Love to you both.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I can well imagine how 24/7 everything can be so exhausting and overwhelming it leaves little or no space for you as a couple.
Having had therapy myself I realised that it can be make or break on many levels.
No one should feel afraid, weak or that they’ve failed by having counselling (providing it’s a good fit with a properly qualified person) because if you break a leg you go to the appropriate person to have it mended and ‘head health’ as I call it, is no different. We are an entire being after all.
One of the many things I absolutely love about you guys and your channel is the realness which is invaluable!!!
So many people won’t consider therapy so as you said if you can help/encourage others to seek help and support to help them get back on track with their lives, well it’s worth everything!!
I’m so glad you decided to take time out for yourselves and very happy that you’re doing ok! I think going forward you can continue to apply what you’ve learned and have an even better honest and supportive relationship which will spill into your busy work lives! You have already made such a big difference in my life in ways you can’t imagine so I’m grateful for you both and the content you work so tirelessly to show on your channel!! You rock guys!! Lots of love from Sally in Exeter U.K. 🙌🏻🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️
This has moved me to tears. THANK YOU so much for putting this out there! The relationship struggle is SO real. None of us are immune, though so many shy away from the honesty we all crave. It's more than comforting to know that we're all in this together - for better or worse
I’m 57 so that shows the broad range of people that watch your videos and get inspiration from you both... if I’m fed up at work I go straight to a kinging-it video to cheer myself up. I don’t believe that mental or emotional health is misunderstood, we’ve all been educated enough on the subject. The issue is that it’s silent. If we see someone with their arm in plaster we realise straight away what’s happened and how it will repair and it’s easy to say to the person, how did you do that. Any sort of emotional turmoil and we tend to be so scared, because we know it could happen to us in an instant, that we deal with it by avoiding the subject. You, talking openly is a wonderful gift for those thinking that they are the only ones that suffer. When you consider that relationships are just an extension of ourselves we should do exactly what you’ve decided to do... look after each other first. With the exception of does my bum look big in this, honesty with each other is the best policy because (as my grandmother always said) a problem shared is a problem halved. If you are ever on the Gower give us a shout
Thank you for your honesty! People are mirrors of the things that are unhealed within oneself.....if one triggers you, then something similar is unhealed within you....a relationship can be great as long as both parties make it safe for the other to become vulnerable in expressing their feelings.
Forget anyone giving you grief, you are both great people. Every couple has issues just not many that are honest enough to admit it. It's very clear that you have something very good though. Good luck 👍
Bless your soul Chris, thank you for such a lovely comment. 💗
I’m so proud of you guys! Thank you for sharing such a real and personal bit of your relationship. Not every couple comes out of therapy still standing. I’d say half of those who don’t just didn’t have the love to do the work. You two are clearly soul mates and best friends. I can’t wait to see all the fun and crazy sh*t you two are going to get into next! Congratulations and welcome back guys!!! You’ve been missed!
Ah thanks Kate - yeh we're still here - we went for a subway when we finished the councelling to celebrate haha! Excited to get back on the road soon! THanks miss ❤️
So glad to see you both back and smiling!!! Thank you for being real and sharing your story. You may never know who you help by being so open. Love you guys!!!
🙌🙌 yaaay for you both being back!! You guys are amazing 👑 thank you for being so honest as relationships are bloody hard work! For things to work you have to put so much effort in. You guys really are so down to earth! Much love to you both!
I love Craig's point about it being a throw away world! It's so true. If it doesn't work, toss it out and get something shiny and new. Something that seems easier and less difficult when in reality those trials and tribulations are what make you so much stronger in the end. As someone who hopes to stay married to my love forever it was also really great to see someone my age getting counseling and laying out an honest testimonial about their relationship. You guys are awesome for sharing vulnerable feelings. Sometimes it really does feel like everyone online is perfect. Even when you KNOW that no one is. It takes a lot of guts to talk about it. Custard is looking FAB just like you two! Can't wait for whats to come.
Aw that's such a lovely comment Aimee, thank you ❤️We hope you have a lifetime of happiness with your love too!
So proud and encouraged by you both, tough being together 24/7 with work, live and as a couple , I have been blessed to be wit( my best friend for 40 years now and it’s not easy ! I appreciate your candour and honesty , you are doing the right thing by taken care of home first and foremost , love and stuff from Canada 🇨🇦 love ya lads ! Communication is key always !
Thanks for sharing and being authentic. I’ve been feeling hella stressed lately and like I’m the only one without a perfect life. Mental health is super important!
We love you guys so so much, you are old souls that have old skool values, doing the mahi (work) when it needs doing, rather than walking away when things get hard, you both take the highs with the lows...nothing is perfect, life's not perfect, but life can be what you make it, and that can be amazing...Gratitude always, for all the beautiful connections made through traveling, Gratitude for all the sunrise and sunsets, Gratitude for the tears that released, and maybe were secret lessons to be learnt, Gratitude for all the heart felt laughs along the way. Home is where you both are. All the LOVE, and HUGS from N.Z (Titirangi) XXXXX
Guys, I don't blame you at all for taking a break. I've been there after far less taxing periods in my own life and I've burnt out in the past (long time sufferer of anxiety/depression etc etc).
I honestly can't believe that you managed to do so much in such a short amount of time, that shit would break ANYONE!
Keep it real from here on out. Some things aren't worth doing if they destroy you, so take your own damn time and do it because you LOVE it, not because you have to.
Much love to you both x
Thanks Thomas. Wise words mate. Hope you're doing well now bud. We're definitely looking at like and love a little differently these days! x
The metaphor about custard and you guys 😭😭😭 ❤❤❤ sending love, thank you for being so honest and vulnerable with us. 2020 is the year for happiness!
I've found you two recently, and been binge watching from the beginning. Yall are my new favorites and you make me laugh daily. Mental health should be as normal as seeing a doc for an infection. Much Love and Respect!
Love your content style! I’m glad you took a break for yourselves. Its so easy to get caught up in things and neglect the things that are actually most important in life. ❤️
I love you guys SO MUCH! When I saw a therapist/counselor for the first time in 2019 one of the first things I said to my husband was "EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE A COUNSELOR" it's seriously SO wonderful. And no matter who you are, you can benefit from one. I'm so happy you guys are back because your videos bring me so much joy, but at the same time I don't want you to do it at the expense of your own mental health and relationship! So happy you guys took time away to love yourselves! LOVE YOU TWO FRUIT LOOPS! Thank you for being real!
You guys are great! Keep it real and keep up the hard work but only push yourself when you can take it. You have to keep yourself healthy physically and mentally :) Glad to have you guys back!
Cheers you guys ❤️ Appreciate the love.
We're back strong and happy now, we took the time we needed and are excited to get back on the road - at the end of the day we do love it! Hope you guys are good and travels are flowing well!
You two are the FRESHEST breath of air. Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity and talents with us all, and the truly real moments too. We're all just humans, doing the best we can. Highlighting that relationships take work is so important in this age of social media. Tons of love sent from Ohio.
guys i love this video and i love you! i get burned out and frustrated with the channel all the time and we dont even do it full time. and craig, if you ask paddy and thijs, they'll both tell you im the strongest man of the budgeteers so dont feel too bad. this youtube world is a double edged sword and i can imagine that going through it all full time with your partner will only make it that much more tough. content creation will never and should never be more important than your mental health and i really admire and appreciate you guys for putting this out there. i am sending you endless love and hugs. xx lina
Aw Lina
Your love and your relationship is the most important...❤
Your honesty and personal aproach to the tough side of living/working on line, is priceless.
Keep up the good work - but most important: take care of your relationship and your self.
Warm greetings from Camilla in Denmark ☀️
Thank you so much Camilla! ❤️😊 Big lesson learnt here, we're trying to take it a lot slower these days, Scotland is helping! x
Thank you for sharing your authentic selves with us. Knowing the hard times makes the good times even sweeter. I can't wait to see your new adventures. Sending hugs!
Ah this made me teary. I am so happy you both were honest and took such admirable steps. It’s so important that we care for ourselves and those we love first and to make sure we are ok. You are both so special and full of GENUINE light and love and to know you’ve been struggling is awful but we all do and the way you have approached it is wonderful. Sending my love to you both and I am thrilled you’re back as I have adored your videos for such a long time... but in the future, don’t worry about all of this if it gets tough again, focus on you both ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for being so open about the challenges you’ve been facing. It’s not easy to be this vulnerable. You’re both awesome and it’s nice to see you again and hear this update.
You two are awesome and living proof that we are given everything we need to succeed in our neighborhood as well as everywhere we go. We just have to slow down the idea of angst or urgency. Be quietly within yourself and open as many solutions will unfold outside our own contrivances. And just know it and let it be. Rule your own world is a correct affirmation but ya gotta be honest with yourselves and others. And believe without reservation that you are beyond deserving to do so. Love you guys. 😂
Thank you for talking about this 💕You are both such a huge inspiration to us and we appreciate the honesty and reality check.
We have both attended therapy in the past for our individual mental health and its so amazing! Its a shame there's such a stigma around it, but we, like you, are proud of the fact we went and there's nothing to feel shameful about!
I know this is an old video but keep doing what you are doing, but more importantly keep putting yourselves first 💕
Myself and my other half of 13 years Katrina really needed to see this 🙂 things get tough sometimes and we’ve forgotten to make each a priority for a while now. We’re fighting hard and determined not to give up on each other and this video was just what we needed to see. Thank you 😊
Absolutely love you two! Love your honesty & integrity. Had a rough last year, last September I had a major seizure, dislocated my shoulder in process 🤦🏼♀️ I am self employed doing a physical job, so no work for ages, then my precious Mum died in October so spent lots of time organising her funeral for end of November. Watching your channel has really cheered me up and inspired me , so Thankyou. Understandably my mental health has not been great, but people talking about it and taking stigma away really does all help. Take care guys I look forward to watching what you get up to in 2020! XXXX❤️
This is why I love this channel I appreciate that you share so much but respect that you need a little bit for yourselves and can understand some of the mental health issues. My anxiety has caused me to have barriers but I am happy and grateful for the friends and family I have around me. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing much love and patience.👑🥾🥗🧘🚐
I only just watched this but a bit ago I sent you and a few other vloggers a TY video. Reason being, whilst things might not all be as rosie as they seem on vlogs, there IS a HUGE positive to what you all do. You show people around the world that, people around world are the same. If you think about it, that probably has a better chance of bringing about global tolerance & understanding than any major broadcaster or even the UN! I can see the headlines - "The 2021 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize........Amy and Craig from Barry, S.Wales". Keep it up chaps. Top notch!!
Awwww, you two! 😭 Really tugging at our heart strings! Love you guys for always being so real and honest!
Everything you've said really resonates with us - We've also been together for 11 years, and are together 24/7, so we know exactly how you both feel. If either of you ever want to chat, or vent, we're here for you guys! 🤗
Looking forward to seeing you guys in Bali soon! ❤
You guys are so inspirational. You take as much time as you want because we your true fans will always be here for you. You both have been the inspiration for us to start are own vanlife youtube journey and for that we thank you ❤️
You two are such an inspiration and bring positivity and happiness every time I watch you. Maybe this will be the nudge I need to finally go seek some therapy of my own. I realize everyone can benefit from a professional to help, but it’s scary. Even more scary to put it out there on the internet for everyone to know so thank you. Social media and this world we’re living in can be so damaging, not only to the viewers, but to the creators also and most don’t talk about it. I’m so glad you are coming out the other side in a better place, and I can’t wait for what the future holds. You have worked so hard for it. In the future, be sure to take the time you need when you need it. We’ll all still be here. 🤍
You kids are amazing! Thanks for sharing and keeping it real. I know this’ll help someone. Love your vlogs and glad your back. But put yourselves and relationships first. Because of you two, my motto is yours. RULE YOUR OWN WORLD!!
Whoopp!! GO KIM!! It's only right we sort ourselves out so we can properly rule our own world!! 💗
Missed you two, you always keep things fun, light, real, & positive! Anyone would burn-out with that schedule, and as for the counseling, it's a wise & healthy thing that people with high integrity do. It's simply preventative maintenance. Kudos to you I hope we get to see you more, but 1st & foremost, take care of you. We'll be here when you're ready! Much love guys! Leslie 💗
Really appreciated this video. Watched your videos for years and planned my whole year away with my boyfriend at the time. Our relationship ended just weeks before we were supposed to leave and I admit I couldn’t watch your videos for many months because seeing the ‘couple goals’ version of travelling was just too painful. However, when I messaged you guys you replied and I went on my own trip and ended up having the best year of my life. I can now appreciate that there are highs and lows of travelling and of life whether you’re alone or in a relationship and just love your videos for the real content and your individual personalities. Keep it up, we all appreciate you more than you’ll know xxx
Came across your recent welsh tour... loved it and now watching others.
Life is much harder now, lots of ppl need help. Thank you for this pour out of hearts 🙏....
You guys wanted to help someone. You helped me today. Thank you so much for this ❤️ I’m glad you guys are on the mend and so proud of your transparency and growth
Aw i'm glad we could help Chlo ❤️ Hope you're all good now miss. Big love x
Love you guys, you will never know how much you helped me over the years, thank you 😍
💗💗
Respect for sharing this guys 🙌🏻. You’re a great couple and have a great channel. Keep being yourselves, rule your own world 🌍🙏🏻
Bless your souls guys!! Hope you're keeping well! We meeting soon or wha?
Thanks for sharing. The more people talk about things like this, the more normal it becomes. You two remain inspirational.
Only just found this video and I just love and respect you two so much for it x You guys work SO HARD and when you put that 18 month timeframe in, that is insane! Impressive but if you aren't happy, then it's going to dampen the joy in your travelling and work. Love you guys, and so glad you have the bravery and courage to lay yourself bare to us - I feel honoured to know the real you (to an extent x) and it's a joy to watch you every week. Custard is a babe but you two are easily in my top CZcamsrs to watch, not necessarily the content of your videos but to see YOU GUYS as fellow people/human beings - are amazing x
God I love you guys! So glad to see you back and very happy to hear you’re looking after yourselves and have taken time out and are back on track. Just know how inspiring you are to so many people xx
You guys are so awesome, my wife and I are the same age as you and I feel like the parts of your relationship that we watch on your channel are just like ours. I can’t imagine the feelings you were going through during those rough times but I’m really glad you pulled through. I watched your video about your backstory and then watched this and it’s such a relief that you found each other again because what an amazing story! Cheers!
Im glad you guys took that break and this was certainly inspiring. ❤ Hope you guys feel better and god ive missed you both. Sending lots and lots of love both your way. 😘
Thanks for always being real with us. I actually experienced a travel burn out this year and scaled back on the frequency in my traveling. I felt that I was starting to dread travel days due to over traveling. Also, I had the chance to speak with my uni’s guidance counselor last week. I felt so embarrassed walking in but I left feeling so relieved. It’s great hearing unbiased options and recommendations from a caring person. Cheers to you both! I’m trying everyday to rule my own world. ❤️
I love you guys so much. Thank you for always keeping it real. I look forward to your videos and your silliness and your adventures...you guys always make me smile. Keep up the good work!!!
The two of you and your relationship is what makes this channel what it is! Please always put yourselves first. Your CZcams subscribers are with you all the way. So happy you're back
You guys are so real. Social media is so hard, you always pressure yourself and your partner more than is healthy. That can really take the heat out of the relationship. I often look at Glenn like: “oh you again” haha! That is just what happens when you work and travel together every second of the day. Really makes you forget to appreciate the person you love the most. Thank you so much for sharing. Respect! Hugs from Cecilie ❤️
Thanks Cecilie ❤️
You're right. We took our eyes off each other and put them too much on our work! Were in a good place now, always putting each other first. Hope you and Glenn are good too! Let's nto forget each other and we'll all be grand! xx
Glad you took a break to take care of yourselves and each other. Wow!! I binged all your videos last year and i didn't realize all that happened in such a short amount of time. You not only lived it, but you filmed it, edited it, and promoted it +++. Yeah, burn out is real. Much love. 💖💗💞💕
Totally crying right now...I LOVE watching your videos and laughing at your shenanigans. You guys did the right thing by seeking counseling and working on your relationship. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing your future adventures.
So happy to see you back and thanks for sharing your ups and downs. I hope someone who sees it and needs a little extra support at the moment will go and get help. Looking forward to what you get up to next x
Bravo you two.... Relationship is work. You folks seem to be willing to put the work in, that is all you can ask of each other. Bravo....that IS relationship goals!!!
I have recently found your channel & am blown away by your transparency in good & tough times. Blessings to both of you , cheers
I'm crying too! I just think you two are so special and have made me feel special too with your "likes". This is great content for all your fans at any age. You're really mature for doing this for yourselves. Love ya!
Great job at recognizing you both needed a tune up! And don’t think we all don’t appreciate the efforts you make for putting on a “weekly show” for us, because we do! Avid watchers of VanLifers instinctively know from week to week, whether there are mounting stresses. One week could be a 25 minute video, the next 13 minutes. As a subscriber and future VanLifer I stress for you all. Anyone who’s reading this that were loyal subscribers to Max and Lee’s channel, just saw the stress building for Lee and their relationship. Try watching from the outside looking in! 💔 So you both being so candid has made us fall that much more in love with you both for helping us understand! 💯🙌🏼❤️
Hi guys, thank you so much for your honesty bravery integrity and especially your funniness.
I’ve watched your videos because they make me happy and laugh because you’re so authentic. This would have to be by far one of my favourite videos of the both of you. I love how real you are and the encouragement that you give to people and myself.
I’m almost crying because I don’t think you guys know how awesome you are! In the good times and bad times.
Thank you for being you …both of you! You make this world a better place ☮️🙌🏻🥰🌍👑🙌🏻
I'm so proud of you two kiddos...thank you for taking time to recharge your batteries and your relationship. Thanks for keeping it real. You two really are legends! ~Pam
Took me ages to finally get help. Best thing I have ever done, really was like night and day the difference. Thanks for openly talking about it. I hope more people start, I do all the time, but so many people believe it is something that you should not talk about. Like it is something horrible to admit you have a problem of some sort, because your the ONLY one in the world with problems! Everyone needs a counselor!!
Couples counseling was one of the most eye-opening experiences Ken and I had, and it saved our relationship. I can’t imagine the stress of working together and being together 24/7 in a van. A week or two in our motor home was pushing it, for us, and we didn’t work together. You guys are such a great example.
So glad you took some time for yourselves. I hope you continue to do so as we will all be here for you, when you come back no matter how many breaks you have.
Love and respect this and you guys so much! Thank you for sharing this vulnerable topic and being real in this space!
Big big love to you both. You are both incredible and I remember being subscribed to you when you had around 4000 subs! My favourite youtubers by a mile! Huge respect for being so real and honest about everything. keep on kinging it and keep on ruling your own world x x
What a wonderful post....wonderfully real! I'm almost halfway through reading Shantaram and that's because of YOU (LOVING it!)! Keep on working on things/your relationship because that is truly what should come first! Wishing you both the best of all that is coming your way and happy to know that you'll still continue sharing some of your adventures with us! Teresa
Two beautiful individuals making beautiful memories together.
Blessed life!
Love you two😘
Miss you loads😭
As always, thank you for sharing😊
You two are amazing! So happy to have you back and feeling stronger than ever. Sending love from North Carolina!!!!
Glad to see you guys back and better than ever! Can't wait for new content, but we totally get that you have to put your relationship first! We'll still be here should you ever need a break again!
This is a great vlog. You two are total winners. Take care of yourselves because no one else will. And you’re doing it. More power to you.
How you spoke about how custard and your relationship are similar was put so beautifully. It's so important to speak about problems and mental health.. without doing it, everyone feels alone in their own head, but I don't think I know a single person who doesn't have any mental health issues.
When I saw you in Bali (I am vegan babe), I really didn't know whether to approach you or not.. but to be honest, I'd rather meet and hang out with you two than just about any celebrity.
Just reading through these comments has put such a smile on my face.. people (including me) get so much from watching you two, you're such gorgeous souls.
Ahh George ya champion! Thanks so much for such a beautiful comment ❤️
We'll be back in Bali this April if you're around?
I think people would be surprised at how many others feel exactly the same way but are afraid to speak up or ask for help. we want to raise this awareness by being brave together and speaking about it.
Love you guys, sending you both big hugs! Glad things are getting sorted, you are so strong and I've always loved your honesty, you have been a true inspiration to me over the years. Keep on Kinging-it guys! x
Aw Martin, thank you so much. ALWAYS! 😝💪👑
Guys, so glad to see you again. Taking time off, getting help, you’re doing the right thing. I sat here and cried at the end of your vlog. Glad you have exciting news, and looking forward to seeing more of you. 💕❤️💕❤️💕
Aw Tom - thanks a bunch mate. We know what we needed to do - did it and now we feel stronger together. That's why we must shout about mental health and how it should feel shameful to talk about ❤️
You two are couple goals for real because of this video: the reality of life and being authentic in relationship and open with people is indeed a huge thing and a big goal in my life. I love you both even more for being open and sharing what you have, and I’m SO GLAD you’ve been working on things and have stayed together. Be kind to each other. Much love to, support for & thanks to you both. 💗
Amazing that you spoke about this, a real eye opener!
I've recently had a knee op so have been ploughing through your videos and exactly what Craig said i was thinking what a life they've got and mines shite (not exactly shite but you know).
But I've seen it, and you in a different light, well done guys.
Always put yourselves first 👍
Thank you for sharing! We've embarked on our own travel adventure vlog, because it adds SO MUCH to our own relationship. But, we've also realized in just such a short time that it's easy to forget to disconnect and focus on the relationship. Wishing you both the best. We find counseling as a couple to be strengthening and healthy, not necessarily a sign of defeat so don't stop just because things are better!
Happy to see you two rays of sunshine again, and even happier to see that you have taken the time to make yourselves as happy as you make all of us 🖤 having a conversation moderator helps you digest the meaning of your own words and understand the mindset of your partner... it's an amazing tool with a bad stigma, but you two are helping change that with your courage and truths. Thanks for sharing dearys, been in a funk myself but this has reminded me about radiating my own positivity 😘
Can't wait to see Custard's new lewk!
Oh!! This is just everything!! Thanks so much for sharing and being vulnerable the world needs more real, honest and tangible and less fakeness!! Really happy your back, Praying you will be stronger than ever and more and more equipped to handle all that life might throw at you. Your honesty and vulnerability is so encouraging and refreshing!! Thank you!!
❤️ Thank you so much Sheri!
We're back on track and looking forward to getting back onto youtube full time again! x
Beautiful words, beautiful people. Admire your honesty lads. These words are all over at the moment but mean so much “In a world where you could be anything, be kind”.
Love you guys so much! Take as much time as you need to work on things and get yourselves in the place you need to be for moving forward with everything...much love from Scotland 💪🏼😉 Keep it up your videos are amazing and you two and a smashing pair 💖
You guys are great! Glad to have you back with Custard, and together. Glad you both got the help you needed and are working on it together. As always, I am eager for what is next - but don’t feel this as being pressure to deliver content all the time, that is non-sense. Cheers to the new year with Kinging-It! 🥂
Thank you for sharing 💖🙌✨ so glad that you two are at a better place now. Well done for taking the steps and time to have counselling, and telling your truth xxx
Too many people give up and split up. It takes commitment and real courage to press on and hold on to what is important. Way to go guys!
♥️♥️
Found you guys after falling in love with Iceland last August. Since those first Icelandic tour views, I have watched much more. Always very fun, informational and entertaining. But in an era of glossy, photo corrected, phony social media posting, your most appealing contribution may be your genuine nature. Your ability to face your demons right in front of us (your friends), in the hopes that we can relate. Believe me, we can totally relate. When Aimee posts about dealing with her anxiety, I can TOTALLY relate.Watching Craig totally break down when Fferanda finally gave out so near the end of the Rally, TOTALLY relate. And as a couple that have both moved on from two divorces late in life, to find each other and start over, TOTALLY relate to constantly learning to communicate and make sure the relationship takes priority over the other things. Love you guys. Love your work. Thank you for giving us a model to live by..... Rule YOUR own world. Cheers.
Missed you guys so much, so glad you took the time for yourself to come back stronger. Nothing is more important than your own wellbeing, exited for what this year will bring for you on your travels. Big love ❤ also please keep custard yellow 😚
Nice to see you back, Always love seeing a video from you guys pop up, Glad u had a needed break. Look forward to your channel in 2020 xx
