ABOUT
"Travel with Gary and Amika"
Welcome to the Official Travel with Gary and Amika KZfaq Channel, a father daughter combo capturing campervan style travel vlogs in and around the mountains, beaches, campsites and wild camping fully off grid.
Gary is dedicated to his daughters future and enjoys documenting her passion for life, which is apparent through Amikas constant giggling and smiles. He is well travelled having visited some 39 countries, however this quickly became difficult to continue when Amika was born. With his love for travel he wasnt going to let being a single father tie him down. When Amika was just 5 they jumped on a plane and backpacked around Romania and have since visited France and Spain twice exploring the Pyrenees mountain range.
In January 2022 Gary bought on old builders van and converted into a fully off grid tiny home on wheels with the aim of getting out and about as much as possible to see more of the world. KZfaq seemed the perfect way to documented these travels and to take a step into the world of becoming a digital nomad.
Gary and Amika both thank you for being here and hope that through their videos they can bring you a sense of adventure, a lots of laughter and with a clear message that you should never grow up and never take life too seriously!

Accidentally skipped two videos but will go back…. I would literally give anything to be 9 again for 1/2 an hour to run on a beach in wellies in the moment, genuinely no sadness, worries, stresses, history etc. watching Amika lost in those moments is beautiful…. Can’t believe she dropped her magnum wrapper in the van though 😮😂 x

Looks a fantastic parkup at Coniston. Although I'd definitely stagger out of bed in the morning and end up broken and bemused on the lake shore! If like me, pizza's one of your dietary staples, you should think about getting an electric pizza oven. Ours is only 1200W, gets stupidly hot in less than 10 mins and will cook a whole fresh pizza in about 6 mins. 😋 Also, I like Amika's style: clear half your plate to make way for the ketchup! 🤘😂
