AN INNERLEITHEN family who found fame through a travel blog and YouTube channel are selling their home to go travelling around the world.

Natasha Haley (27), along with her partner David Meldrum and their two-year-old son Travis, are jetting off from the Borders to Bangkok via Qatar in September.

The family’s journey will begin after 23-year-old David leaves the Army at the end of the Summer.

The move abroad follows the launch of their online blog ‘Meldrums on the Move’ in December last year.

A YouTube channel of the same name came soon after and has racked up more than 6,500 video views and collected over 100 subscribers.

Natasha said: “After David returned from Afghanistan in May last year, we used his bonus to take a trip to Thailand the following month, and we fell in love with travel.

“We took Travis abroad for the first time before Christmas last year. 

“Since then he has been abroad another three times. 

“We started a travel blog, then the YouTube channel just after our return in December and it took off from there. 

“We built this so we could share our stories and adventures with our families but it quickly got the attention of the internet. Our website and YouTube channel are rising in the internet world and bringing us in offers from brands (hotels mainly) to enjoy complimentary stays and food with them.

“After we fly to Thailand we will enjoy time in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, (then back to Thailand for a while), Cambodia, Sweden then back to Innerleithen for a short while before we head off again.

She added: “We are looking for volunteer projects in the places we are visiting, but so far all we have managed to do that comes close to that is donating clothes and household items to people we knew that needed them, and giving more than half of the stuff we owned to charities so they could benefit from it.”
