About Lloyd and Mandy:
We're Lloyd and Mandy. We started full-time travel vlogging in November 2021, travelling all through East Asia and Sri Lanka, Mexico, and 6 months of RV life in the United States,
Fast-forward three and a half years, and a lot has changed! We've settled in Thailand, welcomed our baby daughter into the world, and continued growing our YouTube channel, which has now reached nearly 120,000 subscribers. Our content has evolved to focus more on family-oriented travel and lifestyle, and it's been an exciting transition.
