Harry & Megan Oprah Interview Review

After about 18 hours of non-stop media hype picking choice snippets from the Megan & Harry Oprah Interview, I decided I thought I’d review the interview live, as it was finally broadcast on ITV in the UK. I’m already finding it odd that the interview itself wasn’t broadcast the same time as the US – especially in this day and age after a decade of broadcasting ‘same time as the USA’ being a thing: Lost, Game of Thrones etc. Also, not focusing about the timing of the interview, while Price Philip is currently in hospital etc – as these things are organised months in advance.

From the beginning, I found it bizarre that the focus on Megan and not Prince Harry. I appreciated that the disclaimer of payment (or lack of) was upfront and honest. But as always begs the question – what is the intent? Why now?

Preparing to go Travelling: Tech Planning

Over the past few months, I have been researching and looking at novel ideas that can be used to make life easier while travelling in a camper van, which I’ve been researching.

From looking at how others travel, they either seem to have two extremes when it comes to travelling with technology – either with just their phone / tablet – or a full computer system, which I think kind of defeats the object of minimalising while travelling.

For me, I do not think that I should have to forfeit what I have access to technology wise – but I also understand that my relationship needs to change with it while I am on the move. I also have to acknowledge that with certain conditions, I actually need to have certain systems in place for day-to-day life to happen.

WP Product Review Lite Plugin Review

For a couple of weeks now, I have been using the WP Product Review Lite WordPress plugin by Themeisle on this site to help manage and organise my reviews of shows, movies and products. In fact, I’ve decided to use it while doing this review – in some kind of Inception. However, the main reason I decided that I would review it itself, is I have a laundry list of features I wish it had – but more about that later.

Ghost Adventures Documentary Review

Before the Ghost Adventures show on Travel Channel / Discovery+, there was the Ghost Adventures Documentary.

In this full-length documentary film starring the same ragtag crew of Zac Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin –  they travel to two old mining towns in Nevada in search of the afterlife. Even though they venture about a bit in other locations, their main cases are focused on the Old Washoe Club in Virginia City, Nevada, and the Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield, Nevada – supposedly two of the most notorious haunted sites in the USA. During the height of their existence, the two infamous locations were the scene of rape, murder, and other crimes of passion.

Van Tour | ‘Moser Makes’ Ford Transit Camper Van Conversion

This is the full tour of my Ford Transit cargo van that Moser converted into a camper/tiny home on wheels!

Things / Ideas I took away from this:

  • Like the rough layout design – Kitchen, ‘general area’, bed
  • Don’t like the kitchen taking up so much space
  • I’d prefer a ‘windowed’ bulkhead instead of doors. Seems wasted space
  • Like the cooler under the bench idea
  • Like the composting toilet idea
  • Love the sliding table, but would rather enjoy the option for additional bed
  • Door for charging is cool
  • Like the bed lighting ideas
  • Like the insert areas for the bed space
  • Unsure about the space for the cabinets above the bed
