A few years back I hit rock bottom. Relationship over, business gone, and no idea what came next. Then a battered old 4x4 with "Family Expedition" on the bumper pulled up outside a pub in Wigan, and a few pints in, I decided to drive to Australia with my Labrador, Red.

Not long into the trip I met Marie, and her dog Rubia, on a hill above the sea. A lot of countries later we were married and I'd written a book. Somewhere along the way I fell into making videos by accident, and posting the odd clip from the road turned into a job. There are 743K of you on Instagram now. Still mad to me.

Now there's a new crew member: our baby daughter, Charli. Home is an ex-army 8x8 truck that I fitted out into a house on wheels with my dad and a few mates. The plan? A ten-year drive around the world. Next up: I'm taking the truck to the Sahara, then the Arctic this winter.
