When we finally started our adventure.
Hello and welcome to our channel. We are Reanne and Ben living in Portsmouth, England. We have been together from the age of 15. We brought our first house together at 23, got married at 25 and Reanne started her own business at 27. We have been wanting to travel the world so the day has finally come. We sold our business and our house to explore as much of the world full time.
We created this YouTube channel to share our adventure with everyone who wants to explore but don’t know how. Let us know what you think of our channel so leave a comment we’d love to hear from you.
