I’m a middle aged guy trying to make a dent in my bucket list whilst sharing it in YouTube, the problem is I have champagne tastes and a lemonade budget ! @TravelAdventuresWithIanMelton
I love getting these little achievements from VidIQ, can’t believe this many people have subscribed to my little corner of YouTube - if any of you are part of this number a massive thanks
Been very lazy with my cooking lately and my waistline has noticed - so back in the zone before my next holiday - stuffed pasta, passata and steamed mushrooms reasonable calories (600) and less than £2 - job done
Random pics from my last day in Athens, been back a week and can’t get this place out of my head - can’t wait to go back #travel
Athens Winter Getaway Secrets Nobody Tells You - sorry not sorry youtube.com/shorts/St0hC... Cant believe how cheap it is this time of year
We definitely did a lot yesterday - ancient ruins, museums, food, modern art and even caught the changing of the guard - might slow it down a bit today - or not ! #Athens
It’s airport lounge time ! 3 hours to sink enough booze to sleep through a 4 hour flight
Getting my gym session in before setting off for Athens #lifegoals #6am #travelnlogger
I’m off to Athens tomorrow for my customary pre-Christmas break, never been before so will be doing the obvious stuff, Acropolis and museum - anyone got any suggestions ?
2 more days and it will be airport pint photo time, this time it’s Athens - yeah baby
I’ve just made a video about comparing the cost of visiting a U.K. Christmas market vs going to a European one for a weekend - do you guys think one of these thumbnails is clickable
Thumbnails are my nemesis ! I’m using VidIQ and the coach keeps telling me it needs to tell a different but related story to the title to inspire inquisition but also needs to be simple and standout - please tell me if you nail it - here’s one from a recent “flop”
This is my mum on the last holiday I took her on (canal boat) she worked far too hard and didn’t relax, I’m thinking of buying her a short break for the 2 of us as a Christmas present. She’s not as active as she was (84) so I’m thinking a city break - hit me up with ideal cities
Wish this place had been open - can anyone guess where #thesimpsons
Looks better at night maybe next time we’ll go in - love your shot by the way
I don’t know my art from my elbow but I’ve seen a fair bit this year - Van Gogh, Dali, Nara and the genius that is Joe Lycett Birmingham, Bilbao, New York #moma #guggenheim #cheaptravel
Another one of this years adventures- Isle of Wight, in keeping with my style of budget travel we got in for nothing by volunteering for a charity #festival #lovehopestrength
I can’t talk about Bilbao enough- we actually booked to go to a concert that was cancelled, am so glad we went - the Guggenheim was amazing but was just one thing, the city was so much more. Spain is so much more than the Costas - plus not too many embarrassing Brits (other than us)
I really need an airport pint - it’s been nearly a month for heavens sake
Well it’s my first week on here and I’m really enjoying the lack of negativity and I’m quite enjoying that none of my many followers (ok 72) are people I know in real life pic is me trying to get a decent pic for a thumbnail (and failing) #youtubecreators #travel #saturday
Been snapping these old shipwrecks near me for years - slowly disappearing 😢#anglesey
From this year I have to say these over Greenland - so much of the world is empty
This weather makes me yearn for somewhere warm with great nightlife- Bilbao will do #takemeback
