Went out for a walk. Got hissed at immediately.

We're back on board. Five months away. Turkey, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean. And now, suddenly, the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal with nature all around us. New episode out now. A lot has changed since November.

Five months. Nine countries. A lot of cats. Thanks for joining us for series 2 Series 3 begins this Friday. See you on the canal.

Good morning from here.

Five months of travel compressed into a single episode. 150 days, 9 countries, 4 days remaining on the Schengen clock and somehow we ended up in the Caribbean without ever leaving Europe. And it ends with Serenissima. As it should. Our Season 2 finale is on YouTube now: youtu.be/SRhdPVvieCQ

Five months. Nine countries. One very patient narrowboat. Our Season 2 finale is live the Schengen Shuffle, 150 days in Europe, and how we got to 4 days remaining before escaping to Albania on the worst ferry in Europe. It ends on Serenissima. Where it always should. youtu.be/SRhdPVvieCQ

This will do for a few days 💙

We loved it. Then we didn't. Then we got off the ship and immediately started wondering when we could do it again. That's cruise ships for you. Watch here youtu.be/u1jqdPkMssM

We’ve been back on board just over a week, and the spring cleaning and sorting has been completed. There’s nothing quite like being able to relax inside your floating home on a sunny bank holiday weekend. 💙

10 days. Open ocean. It didn't end well. New film out now. youtu.be/u1jqdPkMssM

Current view:

This week we're beginning our journey back to the UK... across the Atlantic by boat! The price seemed too cheap not to try - balcony cabin, all meals, entertainment, 16 nights at sea. And a moment on a beach with a plane flying overhead that we will never forget. Watch now: youtu.be/CpYs3nFRIL0

We flew to the Caribbean and landed in France. Same currency, same street signs, same plug sockets - just with palm trees and rum. Martinique is one of the strangest and most brilliant places we’ve ever been.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Watch now: https://youtu.be/r24lwVd0shM

This tiny coastal town was awarded UNESCO status before Rome, the Great Wall of China, the Tower of London and the Taj Mahal. Here's a look at what we found inside those walls. New film out now: youtu.be/DeRai31z9JY

This week we're in Kotor, Montenegro. Discover why this tiny coastal town was awarded UNESCO status before Rome, the Great Wall of China, the Tower of London and the Taj Mahal Also watch us attempt the infamous 1,350-step climb up the mountain to the fortress above. Watch now: youtu.be/DeRai31z9JY

The Mediterranean's most extreme coastline. We found it in Montenegro (and fell a little bit in love) 🇲🇪 Our new film exploring the Bay of Kotor is out now. youtu.be/8386dZLsP8c

New film this week. We crossed the border from Albania into Montenegro to explore the Bay of Kotor. Nothing prepared us for this coastline. 🇲🇪 Full episode live tomorrow evening, or watch it right now by joining our channel. www.youtube.com/channel/UCZQ...

This week we made it to Shkodër, known as the 'Little Venice of the Balkans' This Albanian town really surprised us, and yes it does look at lot like Venice... even down to the €3 Aperol spritzes! Watch it now:

Tirana is the European Capital city we never imagined we'd visit. We had absolutely no idea what to expect. We didn't know anyone who'd been, or anyone who wanted to go. But we'll never forget our first few days in Albania. youtu.be/NKcnx5an1es

Can we talk about Tirana? (The capital of Albania). We didn’t know anyone who’d been and didn’t know what to expect. Find out how it was in tomorrow’s video…

We headed down to Bari and Polignano a Mare to see if the coastline could actually rival the Cinque Terre. Between the massive cliffs, the crypt of St. Nicholas (yes, Santa), and the incredible burnt spaghetti, this part of Puglia might just have become our new favourite! youtu.be/f3ozcFpae3Y

We’ve officially hit the 10k milestone! When we launched in June, we couldn't have imagined hitting five figures this quickly. Massive thanks to everyone who has subscribed and joined the journey. Rick & Adam x

We are just 29 lovely people away from 10k subscribers on YouTube. Who's going to help us cross the line? If you watch our videos but haven't hit the button, today is the day! Hit this link to join us: www.youtube.com/channel/UCZQ...

We just spent 7 weeks wintering in Malta, but is it actually cheaper than staying in the UK? 🇲🇹☀️ We hit the supermarket to compare the real cost of living against Spain and Türkiye, and share how we bagged a £52/night Valletta apartment. New video is live! youtu.be/ZwOnQl8q1aM

We've spent much of the last four winters in Malta, but have we been staying on the wrong island the whole time? We hopped over to Gozo and checked into a bargain £50-a-night room with an amazing view of the sea to find out... Watch the new video here: youtu.be/DwYbOY7kCPg

New Nomads!

By day, Mdina is busy. By night, it empties completely. We stayed overnight inside Malta’s ancient Silent City to see what happens when the crowds go home. It felt like stepping onto a film set. New film out now: youtu.be/vAflo-1teIA

Rick’s mum thinks this is the best video we’ve ever made. See if you agree: https://youtu.be/-y939C6JNnA

We’ve just put together what we think is the perfect day out on Malta’s coast, and we did the whole thing by bus. It’s got a bit of everything: 5,000 year old history, some slightly terrifying cliffs, and water so blue it doesn't look real: youtu.be/-y939C6JNnA

Happy Sunday 👋

Malta weather update: Having to wear the hat that was purchased in Istanbul when it was snowing 🙃

New episode is live. Come with us to Valletta, Malta, Europe’s smallest capital. It’s a beautiful place, but it was built for war, a fortress city from the start. Find out why we love it so much, and why it feels almost miraculous. youtu.be/bF5ul7hyiC0

A little behind the scenes from the wonderful Pera Palace. Adam composed a special piece inspired by Agatha Christie and her little Belgian detective... especially for that sequence. It's called “The Woman in Room 411”. Listen out for it in the video.

Istanbul. The only city where it costs you £1 to cross to a different continent by boat. Join us: youtu.be/hg9_mLD3P7g?...

We were wrong about Istanbul, in the best way. New short clip from our first day in the city, and the full film is on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/Xz6NiRiC3UI

Our Istanbul film is live. Put the kettle on, stick it on the telly, and come for a walk with us. Watch us become enchanted by this city before your eyes… youtu.be/Xz6NiRiC3UI

It's safe to say that Istanbul wasn’t what we imagined, in the best possible way. Find out why in the new video, out later today...

Today’s new episode is all about the real cost of wintering in on the Turkish Riviera (in Antalya). We’ve broken down what we actually spend on rent, food & drink, groceries and getting around the city - and how it compares to Spain and to staying in the UK. Watch now: youtu.be/kVwkeI_Uynw

Here are a few shots from our stay at Olympos Mountain Lodge - a tiny place in the Taurus Mountains that ended up being one of our favourite weekends ever. For the full video from our stay, it’s here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7vy...

We’ve just shared one of our favourite videos we’ve ever made. A few days at a secret mountain lodge - big skies, log fires and perfect peace and quiet. The Olympos Mountain Lodge really does feel like it is tucked away from the world. Settle in with a drink and watch here: youtu.be/r7vyJbN5Ing

A sneak preview of where we ended up after the Turkish riviera… Istanbul! And it is NOTHING like we expected.

Our first days in Antalya, exploring the old town streets, Roman harbour and that huge sweep of beach beneath the cliffs. Winter sun, trams, boats and a very different pace to narrowboat life. Watch now: youtu.be/Hx3BvyUMbGU

Happy New Year! We only started The Floating Nomads back in June this year and we’re genuinely blown away by how you’ve taken to our story. Thanks for the support. We’ve got loads planned for 2026 💙 Rick & Adam x

We wanted to trace the origins of Santa… and that curiosity took us all the way to Turkey 🇹🇷🎅 What we didn’t expect was the moment that genuinely gave us goosebumps - a quiet connection that felt oddly personal and a bit full-circle. New vlog is live here: youtu.be/3RD7dbIwm3s

Frozen canal outside at -4°C… toasty 23°C inside our narrowboat Fizz poured, candles lit, festive food on the go. Join us for Christmas afloat 🎄✨ 🎥 Full video on YouTube: youtu.be/fchPO1B6p5o

Our Narrowboat Christmas is live! We’re bringing Christmas to Serenissima with twinkly lights, a roaring fire, Kylie… sherry (our tradition), and a festive cicchetti feast. Cosy vibes only. Watch here: https://youtu.be/fchPO1B6p5o #NarrowboatLife #BoatLife #UKCanals #Vlogmas

If you’ve ever wondered ‘how do those two live in such a tiny space’ now is the time to find out. 👀 The full tour of Narrowboat Serenissima is here, including what we keep where, our favourite gadgets and what we love most about the boat. Watch here: https://youtu.be/1sWp-FoCyqs

THE BOAT TOUR IS HERE: We finally pointed the camera at the boat instead of just our faces. New video is a full walk-through of Serenissima, how she’s laid out, how we actually live/work in the space, and a bit of the backstory too. It’s up now: youtu.be/1sWp-FoCyqs

Storm Claudia is coming. We’re racing our narrowboat away from the woods and really don’t want a repeat of last winter’s “trapped by fallen trees” saga. Watch on YouTube: youtu.be/aorAeq9i_uE
