ABOUT
"Travel with Gary and Amika"
Welcome to the Official Travel with Gary and Amika TH-cam 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. TH-cam 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!
What wonderful memories you are creating for your beautiful girl !
Thanks a lot June.we are having a lot of fun x

You pair are definitely going to have some fun with that on adventures. Fab camera set ups. Love your teenager impression. Spot on. Take care Both. Keep Loving the Adventure ❤

We went to that cafe! And sat there!
That’s a huge sausage 😂😂 ohhh errr!
Well beaten on the bike Gary! Great selection of NA drinks
Rachel & David
Amika is becoming a bit of a superstar with the camera work. LOL about the sausage. Yeah, the bikes. Brilliant. I'm so happy we have one for Amika
Great video, laughed at Amika wanting spend for doing that little job, my lad is 24 and still expects a drop if he does anything lol
Haha little buggers ain't they.
Thanks mate and all the best 🙌
The light house or the pepper pot, as its known locally, great walk up to it. Ive been to the buddhist world peace temple too, fantastic place and they have a great cafe with home made soups, sandwiches, cakes and scones, you should visit you would both love it x
Ah yes. Looks like one too
Loved this video 👌 Amika will definitely have so much fun on the bike. Thanks for taking time to find all these lovely spots for everyone to enjoy 😉 safe travels.
Thanks Denise. Glad you loved this one. Took forever to make it!
The bike is amazing. Can't wait to get out in it more with Amika. Take care x
Terrific video Gary...one of your best....lovely choice of music too...hats off 🤟👍
Thanks Arthur
I’ve got a good suggestion for the bike Gary!
See if you can get a longer seat post, then the bike will fit you & Amika better 👍
Good idea! I might try this!!!
Another great video mate. You 2 are brilliant. Love your adventures..👍👍
Thanks a lot Dave 💯👍
Lovely to see you & Amika having such good fun with the bike, she’s such a giggler ( if thats a word) looks really lovely ther😊
She has the best giggle ever, as she would put it! It's great area to visit. We love it ❤️💯
Great videos mate and the adventurers you both get upto really enjoy them
Glad you enjoyed it Russel. All the best.
What a fun day you had. I expect to see another bigger e-bike in the next video that will be better for you. Amika got used to riding that quickly. I have to say I was a bit nervous at first when she was in the road but out on that sand beach, she let go. Can’t wait to see where your adventure takes us this summer.
Thanks Sally. Not sure if an e bike is for me. Mostly because of the space it would take up inside the van.
Ah yes she's a whizz at learning new things bless her.
Can't wait to plan and share this summers adventure. Slight change of plans but this plan will be brilliant!!
Take care xx
Great stuff both of you, love the bike amika and love your fitness Garry as I'm a keen keep fitter
Thanks Joanne, the bike is great for Amika. All the best x
I appreciate your message back thanks keep the bloggs or vloggs coming x
Keep up the good work we are going to the Keswick on the2nd of September and the lake district can't to see where you're going in August
Amazing. You will love it here
Thats a cool bike
Very cool mate. Ideal for Amika
What a cracker this one was!!
“Slow down human” 😂
Love the lakes, we often nip to Roy’s Ices, have a mooch on the beach.
Enjoyed watching this very much Gary, food for the soul 👌🏻👌🏻
Ah thanks. It was a fun day doing nothing. Hope you guys are well ❤️
@@TravelwithGaryandAmika thanks we’re ok, just getting over a nasty sickness bug, what doesn’t kill ya and all that 🙃 x
Good lad see you are wearing your t😎🤙
Haha, I've got about 12 para reg t shirts 😅
🤣🤙🍻
Pleased that you've managed to get Amika a ebike.
Looked a lot of fun 😂
The bike is absolutely brilliant I’m so happy we managed to find one that suits Amika
So much fun to see you together. I want an e-bike!! What brand is this one?
This is a DYU bike
Great video! That food looked lush! What's the name of the cafe?
Cafe Ambio At The Lakeland Motor Museum😀
Hey I'm new to your channel and I'm loving it. Please can I ask how do you power your air fryer when you are wild camping xx
Awesome. Welcome and thanks for being here.
I power my air fryer with a power station as I don't have an inverter in my van to do that. Power station works perfectly.
This is the one use. It has a 2400w inverter so my 1300w air fryer works fine.
amzn.to/3DsKUMB
I also use it for my daughters hair dryer 😁
You skinflint Gary 50p pocket money for a job that Amika volunteered for £2 at least, one thing I would recommend get some high Vis items and a set of lights you can get ones that attach to clothing and back packs and helmets that flash even in daylight that show up (with a lot of idiots on the road it's best to be seen) stay safe
Haha. Yeah she has to work hard 😂
Great video Gary what is the make of bike u got and where u get it from
Thanks. It's a DYU bike
good vid as usual, i might have missed it but where was the beach? has it got a name? thanks
Thanks. The beach is at Ulverston area
Just going through your videos as just found you on here!. Great videos, having a marathon on them 🤣. Where abouts you from? Sound local to me.
Welcome aboard! Certainly plenty to go at. I live in the lakes mate
@@TravelwithGaryandAmika ah right ok, wow that must be nice loving up there!.
It's great. Just have to avoid the kids holidays as its bedlam 😂
Your vlogs are getting better and better. You can really capture scenery and the fun banter between the 2 of you. The new bike is amazing and on the 'offer of employment' we told you - the van looks great that colour!
Thanks Janet. When I have the time I can really put more time into a video.
Yeah I should really look into van building and painting. Nice bit of extra pocket money!! Take care x
Check the legality of the e bike before you use it abroad or home fella.
It could jeopardise your license.
It's legal
Another great video. I'm guessing you're off to Andorra later. ⛰️🏃♂️🚴🏼
Haha! It's a good guess. A well educated guess. But not quite Glen!!
👍😎💥🍺
💯🙏👍
Is the bike a freebie???
Not exactly. I have a few days work involved behind it
absolutely brilliant video from yourself and Amika, Gary. Loved the bike bits. That bike looks brilliant. It would even fit in my van too. I need to google about E-bikes :) Your vlogs are the highlight of my Sundays and I've enjoyed every one since I started to follow you guys. Good un on the guy asking for you to paint his van. Deffo sycronicity in action! And he was right, you SHOULD do that as a living because you did a wicked job on yours. Glad to see so many familiar places on your lakes trip- specially the beach. I didnt stop last time I went as there were rowdy teenages doing wheelies right near Viv-i-van and I didnt want her ruined. glad you didnt get stuck this time 😉 as ever, masses of respect and best wishes to you and Amika - Kenny
Thanks a lot, Kenny. It was a fun video to make. Yeah, the bike falls down really small, so it's perfect for smaller vans also. In fact, it takes up less space than Amikad regular bike. I'm glad you're enjoying the. Videos. On a Sunday. Yes, it would be nice to do that for a living. One day.Yes, it can get a bit frustrating with the kids, but they soon clear off, especially when I step outside. In short shorts or my parachute regiments Top they soon clear off?
@@TravelwithGaryandAmika Bro in law gave me his nato camo jacket and hat.( hopefully the army wont come back for them lol) If I get the trousers and boots I might cut an intimidating pose lol. I can always stand there looking in the rediculous amount of pockets in the thing. regards- Kenny
Haha yes they always have a million pockets 😂
Brilliant video, I always look forward to watching them. Amika is adorable, she's a credit to you Gary
Thanks a lot Joan. Really kind of you. Glad you're enjoying the videos too x
I obviously need one of those bikes seeing as I didn’t see Amika peddling once! 😂 my idea of a bike ride!! Great video! Luckily I live near Manchester so have the lakes on my doorstep so to speak! I really don’t spend enough time going to visit so this has inspired me to! And would love to know where that carpark was cos last time I went I paid £8 for 2 hours! And got a ticket for being 10 minutes over!! (I blame the dog for sniffing everywhere! 😂) thanks for sharing ❤
The bike is honestly amazing. It's far too small for me. But Amika loves it and that was the idea. Yeah, the lakevdistrict can be a nightmare to park. The parking where you pay is at the bottom left side of Lake Windermere. At a place called Lakeside. You're welcome and I hope you enjoy the Lake District when you come.
@@TravelwithGaryandAmika thanks Gary. I’m online looking at the bikes. Need to save up a bit 🙈 and wondering if I could fit a basket on the front for my cavachon dog willow 👍🏻😂
Probably yes. Think the one I got has a basket attachment
The bike looks ideal for your situation. I substitute "Bourbon & Pepsi Max" with "Pepsi Max" during the week. Easy.
Yeah it's a great bike.
Haha!
Brilliant video again , park up was amazing. And Amikas laugh is infectious xx 😊
Thanks Toni xx
Still a place I really want to come and see properly. Still never been with my van yet :(
Such a beautiful place ❤
The ebike looks so nice 😊
Great vlog of you both ❤
The cafe has a stunning view 😊
Which shop did you buy the non alcoholic from? They have a great selection 😊
Such a beautiful beach ❤
My parents never gave me pocket money I had to do a paper round to earn mine 😂
Great fun on the ebike together 😊
It's great up there. Shop is called Booths
Great video again! Bike looks so much fun haha and Ignore the haters 👍 come on people #bekind! So much hate in the world just no need! Keep smiling, keep uploading and keep doing what your doing, just look after each other, your smashing it🎉💪 can't wait to see your next video 👍😊
Oh they are ignored believe me. Thanks so much for the positivity! Love it!!!
Need to get out again and start filming. Ran out of content 😂
Cheers 👍❤️💯
Hey you two, another great vid of your adVANtures in my home county of Cumbria. It was lovely to touch base and have my photo taken with you at the van love fest, Elvington. Keep on inspiring the fringe van lovers who haven’t quite committed yet…
Ah yes. No worries. It was good to meet you. Hope to see you again soon
Amazing video, I love the bike...I want one .Amika's laugh is so contagious (was funny when you came off the bike) Love to you both ♥♥♥
Haha it was such a fun day Gini x
29:40 Another reason to give up the beer! 😂 Anyway, I'm partial to a Belgian beer too. The Chouffe looks chuffing lovely!
Haha very true!!!
It was a great beer that mate
What a creative and interesting bike review and a great video all round 😊
Thanks a lot Patricia. It was a really fun day playing about on that bike. A really good addition. Hope you had a nice weekend
@TravelwithGaryandAmika I did thanks, although the weather was wild and changeable in Scotland! Hope you and Amika did too ☺️
Same here in the lakes. Frustrating but dodged most of it
Great vlog. Amika has a contagious giggle. Xx
Thanks Yvonne xx
7.59k subs nice vlog love the ebike gang
Slowed down bit hopefully will start growing again 😅
Thanks a lot 💯❤️👍
Should have turned your cap round when doing the wheelies!
Haha yeah!!
Will Amika get to meet her mum over summer holidays?
Not sure yet
Great video as always. Love the bike and it’s not badly priced either. The range is impressive.
Love the lakes. It’s been a while since I was up there. Ulverston lighthouse was at the end of the Cumbrian way. An 18 mile day in heat with very little food or water and that damn lighthouse never seemed to get any nearer 😂
Nice bit of extra cash when you paint the van. Maybe a new business venture.
😊👍😊
The bike is absolutely brilliant and prices more than acceptable. Yep the Lake District is fantastic. Isn’t it 80 mile across them hills with little food and water I know your pain
@@TravelwithGaryandAmika yes it around the 80 mile mark. 😊👍
That was fun! Thanks for taking us along for the ride... 🚲
Looking forward to the next video!
Thanks a lot. It was great to film us trying it out! Glad you enjoyed it 👍❤️
Just think you are a No 1 Dad
Ah thanks mate. Doesn't feel like it but I'm.trying
Great video Young Gary..... Nuff said for now..... :-))
Thanks a lot mate
@@TravelwithGaryandAmika I might get back to you after I have hit the Wine... :-)))
Haha. Fighting talk
@@TravelwithGaryandAmika Yorks V Lancs.... I would just sit on you and squash ya.... LOL... :-))
My Grandma, Dorothy, lived in the cottages behind the Swan Hotel as a child in 1910.She had six sisters and had an idyllic childhood. Her Father was a steam boat captain on Windermere based at Lakeside. Thanks for this wonderful footage Gary and Amika.

Haha Amika is the most adorable little girl, but has definitely got her head screwed on, you’re relationship is amazing.. looking forward to seeing your summer adventures together.. ❤ see you both soon xx
Thank you Tracey!!
Hopefully we can get away this summer
Hi mucker,is it just me or do those bikes remind you of the WW2 para bikes?
Haha yes mate. Very much so. Making a come back
@@TravelwithGaryandAmika Haha aye mate, Green on.
Probably here they got the idea. Didn't blokes jump with them bikes? 👍
@@TravelwithGaryandAmika I believe so mate aye.BSA M20s?
Disregard mate, could be wrong here, think that might've been a 50cc motorbike ...not sure now. Saw it on a video once.
Great has always any chance of giving us the location of the beach you parked up at I won’t tell anyway I promise lol cheers in advance
Drop me and email paul👍
Just two minutes in and I already love your video :)
