The Leeds couple who dropped everything to travel the world on £60 a day

A married couple from Leeds who are travelling the world on just £60 a day says the experience has been a real "culture shock."

Becky Parks and her husband John, both left behind their home in Rawdon in Leeds, to go travelling, trying to see as many countries as they can. John managed to get his work to give him a career break but Becky took the plunge and sacrificed her 40k a year salary so they could both fulfil their dream.

Speaking to LeedsLive all the way from Vietnam, the couple spoke about the experience thus far, saying it has changed their outlook on life back home. Through their YouTube channel, they are hoping to show how good the experience of long-haul travelling is, though it's not without its scary moments.
