Today I’m going to be travelling from here at Rhoose Point, the most southern point of Wales to the most northern town in Wales (Cemaes Bay)! 🏴
All without leaving Wales! So that rules out all of our train network! Buses it is! It’ll take me 14 hours so follow along here! 😁🚍🏴
I’VE DONE IT! 🎉 From Wales’ most southern point to Wales’ most northern village in a day, using only public transport in Wales. Genuinely feel very excited to be here! So grateful for all the support today! 😁🏴
🚨 NEW YOUTUBE UPLOAD 🎥
A full video from my day crossing Wales from its most southern point to its most northern! 🚍🏴
This is my first travel content I’ve made in full length so any support on it would be amazing!
After one of the most scenic bus journeys I’ve ever been on I’m within touching distance of my final destination. I’ve got the best part of 2 hours in Bangor now, I’ve got some menial tasks to do now like checking into my hotel and having some dinner so I’ll be back later!
Just into Brecon. Some fella on the bus just went to the driver and asked where he should get off for the national park. The driver very unsympathetically answered “um remember when everyone got off the bus mate, then” 😂😂
For those interested here’s a price breakdown of today:
Train Rhoose to Cardiff £3.55 (£5.40 without railcard)
Bus Cardiff to Bangor (should’ve been £13, was actually £17 because of driver cock up)
Bus Bangor to Cemaes £4.80
Total - £25.35 (£21.35 if you get the right tickets)

I WENT TO THE TOKYO DAWN ROBOT CAFE!
This cafe is not run by AI, the robots are actually avatars for people with diseases and illnesses such as ALS to connect with people while they’re stuck bedridden! It’s a fantastic concept, add to your itineraries!
Last leg of the journey! £4.80 for this return ticket to Cemaes. The driver was very confused when I said I was coming back tonight! Just over an hour to go! 😁
Spent sunset last night down on the Santa Monica Pier and it was incredible. Stunning view of the sun going down over the Pacific Ocean, the pier itself was great fun too!
The old ladies getting on at Ponty were not happy it’s standing room only for their day trips to Merthyr 😅 Lots of stares usually reserved for Chapel or Bingo halls
Lovely wander around Bangor in my spare time between buses. I’ve been here a few times but always got football or passing through so never been able to properly look around. Can see why so many like it so much
Time for leg 1 of my Round The World in 8 Days trip 😁 Flying from London Gatwick to Los Angeles ✈️ 11.5 hours on budget long haul will be an experience!
Soon I’ll be travelling the entire length of Wales using only buses 🚌🏴 If you know the state of public transport in Wales you’ll know this is going to be much more of a challenge than it sounds! 😅 Excited to start making the content soon! 😁
Well that was a nice treat. What was scheduled to be an 11.5 hour flight ended up being less than 10! 😁 The highlight of the flight was the hour passing over Greenland 🇬🇱 I’ll tell you what it’s jumped up my list now just from seeing it from above!
Here we go. Leg 2. This will take me up to Newtown (with extended stops in Merthyr and Llandod). Not going to be the comfy ride for the best part of 4 hours, especially no toilet facilities
How to get the best FREE view of Tokyo’s skyline!! 🆓🗼🇯🇵
If you’re budget conscious like me then a completely free activity is always welcomed!
You need to head to the Tokyo Metropolitan Govt Building near Shinjuku station they have a COMPLETELY FREE observation deck!!
Just a little reminder that I’ve uploaded onto my travel YouTube for the first time!! Appreciate all the love so far. Any shares, likes and comment are massively appreciated!! 🎥😁
Video below 👇🏻
Update about my ticket. The driver on the T4 has sold me the wrong one, so it’s not valid on non stagecoach run services. This driver has let on for free though, so I might have to get a ticket from Mach to Bangor when I shouldn’t have to
I WENT TO A MINI PIG CAFE IN TOKYO 🐖🇯🇵
They were literally the cutest thing ever! 🥺 They loved cuddling, I actually had 6 on me at one point 😂 They even wagged their tails when they were happy like dogs do!
It was ¥2,750 for half an hour in there. Worth every single yen!!
Been a long time coming but finally I’ve had a productive day and I’ve got YouTube content coming! It’ll be live and coming at you on Sunday morning! 😁🎬
The Tokyo Tower 🗼🇯🇵
One of the iconic symbols of Tokyo, offering stunning views over the whole mega city from its observation decks (or not if you didn’t bother going up like me)
It was the Japan’s tallest building too until new Tokyo Skytree absolutely dwarfed it in 2012
Tomorrow at 11am my next YouTube content will be going live!
30 hours on Italian sleeper trains, comparing three different trains, staying in three VERY different ways of staying.
I’m really happy with how this one turned out so I’m excited to see everyone’s reactions!
Welcome to Meiji Jingu ⛩️
This Shinto shrine surrounded by forest was the most relaxing tonic from the mayhem in the centre of Tokyo. Only a 10 minute walk from the bustling Harajuku district!
This simply HAS to be on any Tokyo travel itinerary!!
🚨 NEW YOUTUBE UPLOAD 🎥
I spent over 30 hours over 3 nights taking Italian sleeper trains the full length of Italy and even on ferries over to Sicily! Comparing whether it’s better in a seat, shared room or a private en suite room!

Starting place for this weekend away. £110 for all travel and accommodation for this trip, so should be less than £200 all in for a new country and new continent ticked off! 😁✈️🌍
I’ll tell you what Zip is really winning me over on this flight. Felt a bit snacky so I’ve ordered a Coke, a water and some Pringles to my seat on their in flight service app and it’s cost less than £4! Delivered within 2/3 minutes too! Absolutely excellent service
The Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay 🌿🌳☁️🇸🇬
This artificial landscape gives an incredible insight into the mystery and beauty of the Cloud Forest rainforests. I can honestly say the hour I spent wandering around through here was the most at peace I’ve felt in a long time
The sights and sounds of Marrakech 🔊🇲🇦
The Jemaa El Fna is the beating heart of the Moroccan city and whether you like them or loathe them, the musicians, the snake charmers, the salesmen and the juice sellers are all an integral part of this cities charm!
🚨 NEW YOUTUBE UPLOAD 🎥
I spend 12 hours in Rome in between sleeper trains, come along as I check out one of the Wonders of the World, the home of Catholicism and some of the most iconic tourist destinations in the World

Koutoubia 🕌🇲🇦
An icon of the city. Probably Marrakech’s most famous monument, the mosque from the 12th C is visible from the whole city centre. Non Muslim visitors aren’t allowed inside Mosques in Morocco so no interior pictures sadly
In case you missed it! Last weekend I posted my second YouTube travel vlog.
Be great to have any feedback along with shares, likes, subscribes etc. Massively helps me out!
30 Hours On Italian Sleeper Trains! An InterCity Notte Adventure!
On a favourable weather day then you can see Mt Fuji aswell as the other city landmarks, as you can see I didn’t have a favourable weather day so I had to make do with guessing where the famous landmark was
@NigelBond
No car. I can’t drive so that would be dangerous 😂 Public transport here is perfectly fine, have used it for everything so far. Getting an Uber to the airport this morning though just for convenience
@SgorioFr
There’s a tower that looks like the most northern point (the official one is on an island) but the tower is an hour and a half round trip from the town so I’m giving that a miss. I’ll be counting the town itself as victory 😂
