Kinging-It

Kinging-It is a travel movement initiated by Craig and Aimee, a couple from Barry, South Wales. Their journey into extensive global travel began following significant personal challenges. Aimee was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 17, and after successfully battling it, their first trip together was to Australia. Shortly thereafter, Craig sustained a neck injury in New Zealand. These experiences fueled their desire to create their own reality and share their travels with a wider audience, documenting their adventures through vlogs and social media. They approach travel with a raw and authentic perspective, aiming to demonstrate the realities of exploration, including both its challenges and rewards.

Over the past decade, Craig and Aimee have traveled extensively, visiting 45 countries and documenting their experiences across various platforms. They are known for challenging conventional travel norms and actively seeking out unique and less-traveled destinations. Their content often focuses on cultural immersion and the concept of ‘real traveling,’ which encompasses unexpected moments and encounters. Their philosophy encourages audiences to “Rule your own world” and to pursue passions and dreams rather than settling for an average life. This perspective is deeply rooted in their personal experiences and provides a relatable narrative for their followers.

Their work emphasizes that travel does not have to be intimidating and that understanding different cultures can foster a sense of shared humanity. They aim to dispell misconceptions about various regions, encouraging viewers to form their own opinions based on direct experience rather than relying solely on media portrayals. Their commitment to authentic storytelling and inspiring others to engage with the world has established them as notable figures in the travel influencing community, earning them the title of ‘Travel Influencers of the Year 2018.’
