  • 🇬🇧 Having travelled to weird and distant locations over the last four years I thought it was finally time to visit my own nation, Great Britain. A land with a rich history and as you'll see if you watch this video, some absolutely great people who are as funny and friendly as you'll find anywhere else in the world. Join me and my mate @BackpackerBen as we drive the length of Britain visiting towns unknown to outsiders and where we meet some true characters. Rule Britannia!

      As the other comment says, this really doesn't represent what most of britian is. Love Bald, but he chose the shittest places to go, probably deliberately. Avonmouth in Bristol for example, is one of the poorer areas of bristol and is the port / industrial section of the city. Merthyr is pretty famous for being one of the dives of Wales etc.

      It's a bit of a shame this is the only glimpse of England you've got. Literally everywhere he visited were what we call the really scummy areas of Britain. There's SO many beautiful places and he didn't visit a single one, for some reason he just focused on the run down areas in economic decline. You should visit the south of England, it really is beautiful I'm places, I promise 🤣
