About us:
We’re Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our ‘normal’ lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn’t imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.

Hi there guys, don't own the negative comments; the people who make them are only envious of what you're achieving in your lives.. Their the spiteful nasty bullies you've known since school days who grow up to be just poisonous people. There is no explaining them so simply disregard them and go with the majority of folks who follow you and know you do a great job. You bring us a lot of entertainment, passion, humour, and honesty not to mention the inspiration to get out there our selfs . Failure na not likely ; just a good decision to look after your health; know when to pull the pin on an adventure, regroup and redirect .
Bless you both just keep going, live your passion few of us do
Definitely not a failure. It’s a definite success, to do what you have done and capture it all along the way is a huge effort. We have been on road for 4 years and seen first hand how difficult it would be to document such a journey. End of chapter turn the page and rewrite another. Good luck with whatever you do.
You are both so genuine, so passionate about what you do and so caring to each other and your youtube family! Look after yourselves and hard as it is, try to ignore the keyboard warriors. Hope you continue to build in some time for yourselves without filming or editing so you can continue your journey with better mental and physical health. Love your work and grateful even for small glimpses into your lives!
It's hard not to write a novel in response after watching this video. I'll just say thank you for being so honest online. Most creators make this life out to be the biggest dream and never show the tough stuff that goes on behind the camera. Giving up a 'normal' life, Travelling, being in an unfamiliar place AND creating videos for social media takes its toll. People think we live such an amazing life but often we never actually get a break to enjoy the places we're in from our own eyes. It sucks to stop filming (and I get what you mean when you say you feel you've failed Megan) But I think it's much braver to admit that what you're doing isn't working and decide to put yourselves and your own mental health above all of us who just sit and watch your adventures from the comfort of our screens (it's easy for people to judge when they have no idea how hard it is to pull together a career and channel like you two have). You guys will figure out something that works for you and this channel. Good luck with the potential new job xx
Sometimes you need to take a step back and do what’s right for you. Always remember you are and have been a huge inspiration for many people over the years, especially for us! You are the reason we decided to take on a lap of Australia and it was the greatest adventure of our life, so thank you & hope you guys get the rest and reset you deserve 🤗❤️
Long time watcher, first time poster here! Thank you thank you thank you for being so raw and honest! You are absolutely correct in that your mental health is just as important as your physical health. I personally resonated with these feelings having been through similar emotional tsunamis. I want to say that you are both so inspirational and are so valued! My partner and I are currently travelling to Cairns from Brisbane in our home on wheels and your videos have been a massive inspiration to us to just get out there and give it a go. Your experiences and knowledge is so important and I don't think we would be on this journey without your content. I wish you all the best for your upcoming adventures and I will continue to follow with much love and support from a far. Xxx
Megan & Jack thanks for a another great video & most definitely you have not failed and great to hear that you are feeling better 👍👍
❤we will miss your adventures but your health and love for each other is the most important thing. Will be keeping my eyes out for the next exciting adventure
Welcome home guys! As two people who are new to vlogging, we know how demanding it can be. It's so much more than just filming – it's constantly thinking of storylines, shots, angles, flow, thumbnails, posts for socials, editing and so much more. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your experience, you guys have certainly made us feel more human. And you definitely haven't failed, this is just a change of direction and the start of a new chapter. Enjoy some well earned rest and we look forward to seeing what's in store next for you both xx
Love you guys, wish you all the best and happiness!!!❤️
You definitely didn't fail. Sickness is not something to take lightly. Get your health back on track and then focus on what YOU want to do next.
Take a deep breath, hug each other, and keep positive.
We're sending a 10000 positive thoughts to you.
Thank you for being so honest with us and WELL DONE for following what is right for you.
I am messaging you now on FB Messenger and would love to chat.
Love you guys. Your hard work, dedication and love for what you do shines through in every video. Thank you also for your honesty, it really does keep it real. Sorry you have been so sick. Sending all the good vibes and health your way. Stay safe, take care of yourselves and each other. 😊
You two have been living an awesome life and been doing a great job vlogging. Hugs to u both 😊
Dear Megan, dear Jack. What you did respectively do is absolutely the right thing!
Take the time you need and don't stress yourself out. This is not a failure if you listen to your body's signals. on the contrary: failure would be if you don't listen to it. We're happy to see videos from you, but we're not forcing you to do anything, especially not to put your health at risk. we all want to have fun. and just as there is a rhythm of day and night when you just switch off at night and do nothing except regenerate, there are times in your life and all of our lives when you just do something else in between to recharge your batteries and clear your head again. live your life and don't rush through your life! ❤
really sorry to hear of your tough times as of late. I think you made the right call guys. If I can be honest you both dont look great. Pale in the face, you're both a mixture of white and yellow. Its all taken a toll. Go get healthy! Go eat really well, settle down and take a month off from working a lot, do some exercise a few times a week, purely for the mental gains it gives you. gym or running, not together but on your own, have some alone time to get back to your best selves! then bounce back better than ever 🙂 everything happens for a reason, youll figure out where you need to be in the next 6 months dont worry!
Ah Jack and Megan, we absolutely love you, ignore the narrow minded haters. We look forward to your videos but completely understand that you are burnt out and need some time, it happens to us all. Take all the time you need we will be ready for your next video when you are ready to launch it. Your Asia videos were awesome so don’t let anyone tell you any different.
See you when you are ready for the next stage of your adventure. We love you guys! X
I can’t understand why anyone would write something or anything negative about your videos 😢 They’re funny, inspirational, interesting and really well done. In our house you guys are just the best !!

Love you guys ❤❤ and thank you for your raw honesty. Your mental health and stress it causes affects your whole immune system and I'm glad you have made the decision that is best for you both.
I'm sorry to hear you have to deal with comments that have affected you, my dad always says that those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind, its so true but its hard not to put your heart and soul into something only to have negative people.
I have loved watching your videos and you both have inspired me to get myself a campervan and see parts of Australia from the drivers seat. So thank you ❤
Can't wait to see where your new journey takes you both.
Stay strong ❤❤
Hey Jack and Megan, I honestly rarely comment but just watched your latest video and wanted to say that I love watching your videos and have done so from day dot. Honestly have no idea why ppl feel they need to leave negative feedback espy when not warranted. Love what your guys do and cannot wait to see what’s next. Chin up and keep up the great work, love your fellow Perthian (if that’s even a thing) 😂
