    Hope you all have a brill Christmas and a happy new year!
    ⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
    We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. Then we took our van further than she had ever been before to the very beautiful Turkey. Enroute, we stopped off in Spain for a few weeks where we experienced every van lifers worst nightmare, we were robbed and they stole all valuables in our van. But then we were back on our feet, fully MOT'd and back on the road through Europe before we experienced another vanlife nightmare... our van caught fire!! After the trauma of that we had a massive change of plan and made our way to Japan. We enjoyed a three-month Japanese Adventure and then got back to Martha for some new European Adventures. After an incredible three-month Scottish road trip, we have now packed up our van and are heading to Australia for a new van life adventure!

    2023 was a very hard year for me. January 2018, I started 6 weeks of chemotherapy and radiation for lung cancer. The treatment made me so sick that I could hardly walk for 2 years. I just started to come good and covid hit and Victoria Australia had the most lockdowns of anywhere. Late 2020 I was told that I'm cancer free. July 2021 I was told (after another standard ct scan) that I know have bowel cancer. An operation and a stoma bag fitted, because of covid I had the stoma bag for 9 months instead of the usual 12 weeks. Bowel cancer all clear again. So I beat cancer twice. July 2022 a routine ct scan showed I had 5 new small tumours in my lung. Doctors removed one spot and tests showed it was the original cancer had come back. Doctors didn't want to do more chemotherapy because of how sick it made me last time. No radiation because I had multiple spots in my lung. I was told we will just monitor the growth rate and see what happens. In April 2023 I went and saw the radiation doctor that treated me originally. He wanted to do more radiation straight away. May 2023 we did 9 days of radiation on 2 of the spots, then had a 3 month break. September we did another 9 days of radiation. I'm very tired and weak with fatigue now that I'm struggling to do anything. So I withdrew all my superannuation and bought a 4x4 SLWB Toyota Hiace and it will be delivered 3 days after Christmas. I had another ct scan a few weeks ago and saw my Radiologist last week. He said there is no new spots in my lungs and the 4 spots he treated have not grown and seem to be inactive. I hope to get some level of strength and fitness back so I can start to build out my van. 6 years of cancer treatment has been very hard. This is why people like you two are so important to me. I'm 60 years old and you inspire me. I partly live my life by watching people like you live and enjoying life. Don't let the bad days ruin the good days. Hot weather or rainy weather is temporary. Our health and mental state are permanent and very fragile. Keep doing what you do and keep loving and respecting each other as you do ❤

      A sad year for me 2023 losing my mum in July, Ending with a happier event of my retirement long awaited. Life throws things at us and sometimes it’s hard to look forward. As humans we are resilient and often with the help of friends family and sometimes stranger we can dig deep and find the will to overcome and move forward. Your videos are often filled with joy and you demonstrate how to be resilient and how to make the best of life. As a couple you gel well and I love the chemistry between you. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and lots of exciting adventures in 2024. Stay safe 🎄💕

    Happy New Year to you both. You have brought me much laughter and entertainment this year and I’m looking forward to more next year. Do what feels right to you both, try not to let what you think you “have to” do decide for you. Elf is the greatest Christmas movie and I think “brave” (be brave?) is a great word for the new year. ❤

    Happy holidays you two lovely souls. P and I really enjoyed this one. Last 6 months for us has been a whirlwind of ups and downs - life eh! Thank you for your timely reminder to reflect , I agree this is important. I just tend to speed on to the next big thing without thinking too much . One of things for me is not to have to big expectations and that highs and lows are part of the (as you say) ebb and flow of life, it’s how we respond to these things. Also I’ve learned my intuition is nearly always right do being tuned into this is important. ❤😊

    2023 for me was empowering… at 57 I built a camper with my son: took off for 10 weeks to the Portuguese coast with my dog solo van travel - it was enlightening, empowering and soulful.
    Flip side is since coming home, the stark contrast of being back was difficult.
    Thoroughly enjoyed your honesty in this video - & as ever love you guys.
    Keely - taking time to “be still” was one of my positive outcomes from my travels. Just stop - turn off all your phones/cameras and embrace stillness and simplicity : it’s a magical feeling..

    • @phillyandkeely

    Merry Christmas Philly & Keely, and thank you both for making me smile so much in 2023! My favourite Christmas Movie is Die Hard and has been since it was released…..and yes it is a Christmas movie 👍🏻 Keely, do please learn to love the ebbs of life as well as the flows. I say that as someone who this year was suddenly forced to stop pushing myself through ever more stressful challenges by the onset of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and trust me that’s a whole new life lesson. I thought I was invincible and could push myself through anything but for now, my body dictates my life choices. Anyway enough of that, you two beautiful souls are my favourite TH-camrs, and I wish you a very happy Christmas & wonderful new year. 🕊️🎄🎅🏻💝💝

    • @phillyandkeely
      @phillyandkeely  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks so much Abi, and for sharing that with us. Some times the universe takes the choice away from you doesn't it, so I will definitely try to lean into the ebbs and enjoy the rest time. Sorry to hear about your CFS ❤️💪🙏 I suppose it's adjusting to a new pace of life, sending lots of love

    This was a great idea! Love the ebb! 😊 2023 was ‘diverse’ for me. I am based in Wales but spent most of it in Scotland and 6 weeks in Peru. I am so thankful for SO much! It’s been a challenge in many ways but… your videos are so uplifting. I wish to conquer my mindset around abundance and lose all programming around this. 👏🏼Films… The Holiday is a favourite of mine, and last Christmas 💯 Happy Christmas 🎊🌟🎊💞

    I hope you had a good Christmas in Aus you two!
    My 2023 has been pretty epic. At the beginning of the year me and my partner quit our jobs and packed up our life to travel for the year. I was so apprehensive to begin with, but so happy we went for it.
    I totally get that feeling of creating quality time for family and friends. I have been living in Canada for the last 5 years and every time I visit the UK I feel rushed and stressed trying to see everyone because I don’t organise in advance, so that’s my intention for next year too!
    Looking forward to being inspired with more of your travels. All the best!

    • @phillyandkeely
