- There's been a bit of a change for me lately. After 15 years, I decided to move on from my previous role at the end of November 2023. It was a big adjustment, but I'm embracing this new chapter with a positive outlook.
To keep things moving forward, I'm excited to have started a new adventure with the Royal Mail! It's a whole new world for me, and I'm eager to learn the ropes. While there's definitely a learning curve, I'm confident I'll pick it up quickly.

Nothing wrong with being a postman. It's a very important job. I have lots of respect for our postmen.
Nor do I, it's a great job and I'm working with a lot of good people 💪🏼
postman sick job @@Nomadickangoo
So glad you have loaded another video because I think I speak for majority of your followers…..we missed you!!! So glad you’re ok!
You deserve a break in life for the better and I hope things continue to get better.
Was privilege to help you out brother,Things are on the up for you with new job,Look forward to the next video my friend,Your CZcams buddy Chris
Thank you Chris, it's a privilege to have people like you watching my content, your CZcams friend Alex 💪🏼
Awesome storyline, you're getting better and better with every video, keep making videos, you know you love it 😜
Absolutely love it 😍
You are busy, getting exercise, have a room to crash in, van is hopefully going to be fixed soon and you are earning some money. Spring is coming and you will have plenty of time to get back to nature with the longer evenings/weekends and nice weather. Countries can't survive without their postal system so you are doing a very important job don't forget that. Plenty of time to find the next job you really want. Stay strong young man.
Thank you the van is now fixed thanks to my wonderful viewers and I'm taking a break in Norwich for a few days to recharge, stay strong my friend 💪🏼
More importantly.....Belated Happy Birthday🎂
You can take your whole life to find yourself and to know yourself,you will get there,just be you.
Best advice I've ever heard! ♥️
My son was a postman for 10 years, delivering mail on a bicycle, he loved it, cycled 30 kms a day, was fit as a fiddle, and there was always extras added onto his wages for large deliveries. He only left because the post here changed to these little electric buggies and he didn’t want to use them. He loved the freedom of being outdoors and his own “boss” so to speak.
Aww that's cool to hear, yes I have heard from many of my fellow posties that the job has changed a lot in the past few years unfortunately
I truly feel your pain, i feel lost and unfulfilled in my life at the current moment, this video brought i tear to my eye im so glad you are getting back on your feet. Your inspirational man, people like you give me alot of hope
Thank you for sharing your feelings and connecting with the video. It can be really tough to feel lost and unfulfilled, and you're not alone in that experience. I'm glad the video resonated with you, and I appreciate your kind words and support.
If you keep pumping out content like that mate you won't be at the Royal Mail for long 💪
Dude you are so positive about my videos it's overwhelming ❤
@@Nomadickangoo They're genuinely fantastic mate, I've watched your progression over time. You're a great storyteller, filming & editing are improving all the time and they're extremely relatable and genuine, something a lot of creators lack. You're talented man, keep it up!
Craig is right, go for it with the videos. You've got this 😋👍
Thanks
Thank you so much my friend 🙏🏼
How fantastic, a respected job with transport,uniform and something to keep your mind busy. I think that is definitely a step up.👍 Everyone loves a postie.
It sure is! very rewarding job 👍
Remember tomorrow will be a better day
❤ words so true
Heres a virtual hug from me brother. You seem down. I get down too. Look up Andys man club, its great for a moan on Monday nights. Stay safe and well pal.
Will look into that thank mate. Stay strong buddy 💪🏼
Awesome , honest, raw ! this is why I love your content !
In my experience this IS real van life. The highest highs and the lowest lows. When you said it's kind of nice to be 'inside' and yet yearning to get out to nature again. I totally relate. Over my last 6 years , I changed my vehicle and had it break down too many times until I was left with no money and living in a tent in the snow. I'm now back in a house wearing hi viz to a job that really isn't making use of my skill set. It's getting me on my feet until I can get a better set of wheels and get back out there. I love the quality of your film making its always a joy to watch. Wishing you all the best ❤
Wow it sounds like you are going through a tough time as well, but are staying strong 💪🏼 well done! I'm wishing you all the luck back
Love your videos and honesty. A lot of us go through these periods in life and it feels really unsettling. The world feels a strange place. But things get better and they don't stay the same. We keep going and never know what is around the corner. Congrats on finding a job so quickly too. 🙂
Hello Carrie, thank you for your comment, yes the world can be very strange indeed, we all need to keep our heads up high 🙂
Nomadic Wellbeing Guru! Enjoyed your film.
William I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video, and I like the alternative name suggestion 😆
So glad you're okay and feeling more positive. No matter what you're going through remember you're not alone. Most of us have been through similar things in our lives, I know I have. You're right that nothing lasts forever, so make the most of good times and know that bad times will eventually end. You've got a great support network around you and people that love you and care about you. Things will be good again I promise. Hope that bloody van gets sorted soon, it's let you down a fair bit!
Storyline was nice. But I also love it when you are just sharing and talking to the camera. Thx for the video again!
Thanks man I tried to mix it up in this one with a bit of talking head and some action shots 🙂
@Nomadickangoo Yeah, I think it will take allot more time to produce videos like that. But maybe I'm wrong, and I want to let you know that the 'normal way' is also great :)
Great to see that thinks are looking up 😀 I had a need to just get out and away to help my head a couple of weeks ago. I hit St Peters Chapel Bradwell too, an overnight car camp there did me wonders even though it was freezing. I totally get the need just to bugger off at times. Dengie is good for that, apart from the roads around there.😉
Belated Birthday wishes. Same age as my daughter 😊
I'm 56 and still no clue what's happening lol
Thankfully you have a friend to help out 🙏
A jobs a job, your lucky you found one so quick. Being at your friends will have done you good to process the changes and not being alone.

Thank you mate, it was very nice to be inside this winter whilst everything was going on, how are you doing, are you doing well?
@@Nomadickangoo yeah I bet. I've had no heating till last Thursday lol but all good thanku. 🙂
“The challenges along the way make us stronger and more resilient”. Perfectly said. I was in a similar situation last year at the age of 53 and I look back of my summer job of van driving all the better for it.
Glad to hear your situation got better for you as well 🙂
Trust me I don’t know where am going and am 55 years old who knows maybe one day and hope you do merch at some point as I want a hat all the best
Great to see you finding yourself. 💖💚💖
When you're down the only way is up ❤
I've been looking forward to this update. This is a very good channel and you come across really well on camera and with your storytelling. Improvise, adapt, overcome.
Stay strong, Im routing for you 🍀
Thank you, staying strong 💪🏼
A very beautiful video in many ways.... wish U all the best for 2024
A beautiful comment, I hope you have a great 2024. Stay Strong 💪
Hi Alex , hows it going, we both hope you are enjoying your new job 😊 Best wishes Jen and Paul xx
i love these videos , your strength to adapt and not letting your set backs hold you back is inspiring i am also glad that you have your van back here,s to a brighter future what ever it is
A bigger van mate I had a done the same thing at 33 lived in small van went back to a flat for 5 years now got big van and getting back out there 🎉
happy adventures, Stay safe out there 💪
As ever fantastic story telling and loved the video production. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, I try my best ❤️🙏🏼
You should be super proud of yourself for picking yourself up and rebooting your life, getting a new job and feeling like your life goal is still in sight what ever that maybe, Im 53 full time in my Sprinter and still have no idea, i have plans and dreams just like you, just don't be hard on yourself NK, Best wishes Sean 👍👍
Hey Sean, it's good to hear others open up and can relate with the struggle, so I appreciate your comment 👍🏼
Thanks for another great video. Life can be tough at times but well done with the new job. Looking forward to the next update 😊
Thanks, Tim, and thank you for following along 😊
Keep your positive thoughts, yes things happen for a reason. And I can totally understand how it feels when things don’t go to plan. Keep what your doing all will come good in the end you’ll see, that’s what I tell myself all the time too
Thanks for the support, straight back to you my friend 💪🏼
thank you take it easy mate @@Nomadickangoo
hey man, glad to see you slowly getting back on your feet. You are correct in saying you don't know what's around the corner we have to take each day as it comes. also good to see the van back on the road.
Thanks buddy it's so good to be back on the road 🚐♥️
Great news on the job m8. Onwards and upwards
Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
❤
❤️
Just stumbled across your channel and have loved watching them, your creativity and strong production skills are very evident!
Oh and BTW, I can relate to you feeling lost in your 30s. I'm in my late 40s now but felt lost around the age of 30 after a huge break up. I ended up backpacking across Africa on my own (I'm also an introvert!), and it was one of the best things I've ever done. Your van life adventures are of the same spirit and i feel it's going to put you in good stead to build your self esteem until your life luck changes for the better. ❤
Hi Lisa, your journey sounds amazing! Thank you for reaching out to share it with me 🙏🏼
Great video mate, love the atmosphere you create, the mood, everything, your vids are a comfort for me, much love from your old pal Josh 🖤
Hey Josh that's so good to hear, i put a lot of effort in my videos so knowing that you enjoy them really puts a smile on my face 😊
You've made the best out of a difficult situation. We're both at a very similar stage in life, with a house and dog but take the material objects away and early 30s is profound anxiety and sense of being lost I guess.
That was a good bit of luck, landing the postie job when you needed something to happen quickly. You were being paid to do the walking which you enjoy and left you the evenings to wind down and relax. I am guessing that the engine fault was a sensor issue and is so common with every modern vehicle these days. Longer days and warmer weather is not far away, so looking for something, job or adventure will be so much more pleasant for you.
Yah it was the bloody DPF so frigging annoying. Yes the job is amazing, getting to be outside and moving around is right up my alley indeed! Bring on spring 🙏🏼
So happy to see you back. You have a very healthy outlook on life even when things aren’t always going to plan & I’m sure that will hold you in good stead for your future. Good luck 😊
Awww thank you, a lot of the time off camera I do all the worrying and over thinking but then get it all out on a creative video 😊
Keep fighting mate you are not alone!!!
Right back at your dude 💪🏼
Nomadic Postman. Now that's a new t shirt idea. Good luck mate
Hmmmm perhaps 🤔
Life is full of ups and downs. It's how you deal with it that makes you a better person.
Chin up lad.
Chins up 🙂
Postman is a respectable job good to see you posting content,stay strong,think positive and good will come in the end
Its a great job, rain sucks but apart fro that its a great gig
I am so sorry to hear about this. Keep your chin up my friend.
Often wished I had a less stressful job and a postman on foot is probably top of my list. Keep you fit and I reckon i'd be pretty happy. Great to see you Alex and hoping you get the van fixed OK. Real talent in your filming you know. Clever stuff buddy. Thanks again.
@@Graham41Not saying its easy Graham and I've thought about the dog situation. Just less stressful than the job I do now. If I was to change jobs, it's just something I'd consider is all. No offence intended.
Good luck NK. I think your vids are very slick bro :)
Thanks man! I try to make them the best I can for everyone to enjoy!
@@Nomadickangoo No worries bud. What was wrong with your van?
Wow brilliant mate. The story goes on. Congratulations on your new job, being a postie suits you for now. Is the van fixed and are you back living there? Guess we'll find out in the next episode x
Taking a break in Norfolk for abit and I will then continue with my new job and living in the van 🙏🏼
Keep going! Life is about the journey and the people who you meet! And I’m 43 and not on the property ladder.. there’s hope still.. take it easy!
i'm starting to feel we aren't supposed to know where we are going in life
@@Nomadickangoo that's my feeling too, my life feels like a game of snake's🐍 and ladders 🪜 and every time I make it to the top line, something comes along and here I am again half way down! I'm now just taking it day by day, I heard once, make choices now for the future you.
Good video, pleased you have a job now abet of luck with it. What was wrong with the van?
Absolutely loved this video! You are so articulate! ❤
Thank you very much!
Good luck mate hope you get it fixed 🤞
All fixed now 🙏🏼
It's good to know you are ok, and although you've had some troubles in the last 2 months your finding a way through, van life can be tough, but worth it, I have similar problems with work and living in my overdraft at the moment, but keeping your faith and staying positive helps, I look forward to your next video, keep up the good work & take care 🙏🙂
Keep the vids coming mate good to see you on the up slowly
Well do buddy 💪🏼
We all need help and support at times mate, good that you have people you can turn to.
Very wise words about making the best of a situation and adapting.
Is it design work you’re looking for?
Hey Mark, you are right we all need help from time to time. Yah by trade I'm a digital designer
@@Nomadickangoo keep an eye on LinkedIn as I used to see a lot of design roles there. Good luck 🤞
Happy birthday. ❤
Thank you very much
Great video mate and great you are pulling into the future. So nice you love nature and feel its your go to place it often just let's you breath to yourself. Thanks
100% I always suggest to everyone I meet who is stressed to take a moment in nature to see things clearly 💪🏼
Hi mate love your vids stay strong ❤
Thank you bro 🙏🏼
We both hope you had a lovey Birthday 😄 Been thinking about you alot. Great news you have finally sorted the van and found a temporary job. Looking forward to your next video. Jen and Paul xx
Awwww you two never fail to bring a smile to my face! Happy 2024 ♥️
Ahhh thank you 😊Happy 2024 to you too. xxx@@Nomadickangoo
There is actually nothing bad about being a postman. You have gone so far. Stay positive no matter what happens. At the end of every rain comes a colorful rainbow
I think it's a fine job, a fine job indeed
Interesting video, pleased you have found some work, and have found somewhere to stay while the van is out of action, I hope the van repair doesn't brake the bank and you will be back on the road soon for more adventures.
Thankfully everyone's kind donations helped pay for the van, so I'm back on the road now 😊
@@Nomadickangoo So pleased it all helped that is great news.
Well done you 👏👏👍🏻 really enjoyed the video!!
Hey Tel, I'm really glad you enjoyed this one, it was 2 months in the making so I'm glad it paid off in the end 🙏🏼
You picked yourself up, you got a job, you sorted the van, filmed, edited and posted the video, bloody brilliant!! 2024 will be the year that changes things to the positive for you 👍🏻😁
Hope your luck changes in 2024. Its about time you would be able to deliver some good news (royal mail pun) 😅.
Love that you have a good community around you.
Love from sunny Wales!
Love the pun it gets my stamp of approval 😆 love from rainy Norwich
@@Nomadickangoo darn it, you out punned me. Absolutely mailed it! 🤭
The main thing is you picked up that phone and asked for help thats was the first step and the first foot forward things will only get better
You are right, I think everyone needs to take that first step to ask out for help when they need it
Im 26. I've cared for my disabled mother since being 18. i feel lost. I also tried a few jobs, but I just can't find my passion its a horrible place to be
dude I'm sorry to hear this, however, you are doing an amazing thing by looking after your mother and you should be commended for your efforts, Stay Strong 💪
@Nomadickangoo Thank you dude its hard juggling looking after my mom and working, but I could never allow myself to give up on her
You can claim attendance allowance if you are looking after your mum. It is non means tested x Also there maybe some carers charities where you can get to go away with your mum but others are there to befriend your mum so you get some respite too. Carers allowance is means tested but attendance not. Can you look at a befriending service with Age UK so you get an hour or two off . Can the attendance allowance pay for an hour or two as well?
i keep coming back to check if your alright hope your doing better
That's very sweet, I am very well ☺️ working away on a new video to be released soon
@Nomadickangoo that's awesome i look forward to it!
Really enjoy watching your videos - you do them so well….👍
Cheers Steve, I try my best as a novice 👍🏼
Loved this one !
Thank you 🙏🏼
i do lots of volunteer work, it gives me a lot of meaning doing useful stuff. I like doing different kinds so I try new things, I have volunteered in environmental organisations, citizen science, delivering community magazines and volunteering for the police, I am not good at getting bored so like to have some volunteering adventures. working for an organisation just so the people at the top would get rich doesn't interest me
Great video, keep on moving forward with a positive mindset. Every cloud has a silver lining.. wishing you every success for your future. Keep your chin up.
Thank you mate comments like yours keep me positive and focused 💪🏼
Gwan! Nomadic Postie 👍 Hope you had a good birthday lad
and still, your journey continues to inspire! keep unfolding your story man!!
Excited to see where it all goes next 😁
Great video , good to see the acceptance of the ebb and flow of life and good to share these lessons 🤸🏼♀️🙌✨🎁
Glad you enjoyed it, I think it's just good to share even the not so good times
Hey man. Genuine thanks for posting stuff like this and showing more of a real work van “life” than just the perfect adventures. I salute you for standing up in your job and refusing to do stuff for free as you’ve learnt your worth to not give skills aways for free.
I’ve been on a bit of a pants time myself and you’ve honestly helped me feel better about making honest videos. Thanks for being a bit of an inspiration (genuinely )
Hey dude that's so nice to hear your support, sorry you are going through a hard time at the moment but things will always turn around in the end, stay strong 💪🏼
@@Nomadickangoowe’re all going through something. It’s just good to acknowledge and talk about it.
the video photography is great
Good luck in 2024
you too! Lets make it the best year!
Just found your vids..RBH birmingham...🤞🤫.......
👀
Use to be a postman it's hard work the father in law was one and my brother in law was. He was in it for over 20 yrs because of the strikes he has now left and ironically works at a garage. All best
All the answers will come to you in Meditation🌼
My meditation comes to me when I'm on a nice long run, it's my zen 😌
Meditation helps 👍
Hmmmmmmmmmm
sounds to me like you found your purpose in life.
what is it? please tell me, i need to know! 🤣
@@Nomadickangoo u already know. i just wish u would get paid for traveling and making videos.
Great video mate. Keep pushing forward. I now find myself in a similar position of job hunting for the first time in 17 years. Personal choice to leave mine being the only difference as I search for my path. We’re only on this earth once so need to take risks sometimes together with a break from the fish bowl of modern life which is easy enough to slip into. Hope all works out for you and cannot wait for the next vid. 🤙🏻
Hey Jason thanks for commenting, I hope you find your path, make sure to update me once you find your new job 👍🏼 stay safe
@@Nomadickangoo Hiya mate, as requested just a quick ‘life’ update. I now have a new job and career which will hopefully fulfil my aspirations for the future. Different profession so a tad nervous but definitely excited. Start in March. Hope life is treating you well and look forward to the next episode in your journey 💪🏻
@@jasongroom4591 well done my man!! I wish you all the luck in your next chapter!
@@Nomadickangoo Thank you 🙏🏼 Appreciate the warm wishes! Right back at you too 👊🏻 Keep moving forward!!! That’s how winning is done!
ah yes Ad Blue issues hopefully you have done the right thing and had it deleted alongside the DPF gutted and it and the egr deleted from the software alongside a mild remap?.....Funny feeling this videos are in lag and you have sold the van to Tim???
Now at 13m30s ok clear you still have the van what was up with it then?
Great too see your ok, Well you no the old saying... Don't knock it before you try it.
Some of my friends who have work at the post office only started as Temporary job and end up working for years
meeting there partner, getting married and therekids, So Enjoy
Yes I'm working with many people there that have been there for over 30 years!! That's amazing!
also things happen for a reason buddy u will find something I'm sure
I'm sure I will as well, thank you for the support 🙏🏼
You might be meant to make a film, to write it and film it. You are very good at filming and writing.
That's a nice dream ☺️
1 day ago. Have you thought about retraining. Have a look on your local government website, for apprenticeship jobs. Also look at free government courses for unemployed. 😊 Best of luck. Pam
Hi Pam thanks for the advice, good to know there's help out there 😊
Am sure i sent a supper thanks. Do they not count? HUFF 😤! PMSL😅
Oh no did I miss you out?? Sorry mate it was difficult going through the comments and filtering them onto a word doc 😕
@@Nomadickangoo no problem. Lol.
Yes am a truck driver i no the feeling of being lost lol you could be a tramper and live in your work truck you got a night heater small fridge you should look into it .
Sounds like an interesting path, I hope it works for yourself, stay strong out there 💪🏼
Country postman next
Who knows, maybe 🤔
What was the problem with your van in the end? Good work getting the postie job, you have just got to get down and grind it out at times
It was the DPF filter blocking up, apparently very common with this van, I need to keep up the maintenance work to avoid it
@@Nomadickangoo short journeys where you don't fully get up to temperature also clog them up. If you have just been doing those, jump on a dual carriageway for a while, leave it in 5th (if it has 6 gears) and it will regen which helps the dpf stay clear
Keep going you will get to your destination set up an eBay business will help along with CZcams
Sounds good, not sure what I could sell apart from old underwear and even then I don't think anyone would want that 😆
@@Nomadickangoo you can buy stuff to resell I can help you and show you that road
I wish I had your skills in editing I have good life skill but dyslexia gets in the way
I am probably the most dyslexic person going mate, never let it get in the way
What was wrong with the van ?
Expensive fix ?
Stay tuned, all will be revealed
@@Nomadickangoo
Probably dpf
what was wrong with your van?
It was the DPF filter, so bloody annoying.. but hopefully have it sorted now and need to keep it maintained to stop it from happening
Your van has not been fixed cuz you gave it to English garage ,they're knowledge is the same as English GP's 😂
