    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries before 2020 and all 7 continents, we have no plans to slow down anytime soon, and we are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

    As someone living in a country that's been strictly locked down for over a month this is wild to see. Like, remember when we would walk near other people? And LINE UP RIGHT BESIDE THEM? And touch things that someone else touched just a second ago? So weird to think how much the world has changed that those things stick out to me so much now.

    It is so nice to see that in the Philippines, they have sanitizers, alcohol, wipes and other disinfectants readily available to the public. They even have rubbing alcohol spray provided before you boarded that plane in Coron.

      @@8KILLSTEP well to be precise. The Philippines now has reached 100,000 mark cases of covid 19 and within a day we gain 5,000 new cases. The president also threatens the people that if anyone violates the ECQ there will be a shoot to kill order and as you can tell it's a very poor act to make people follow you. Our president also told us that the poor can disinfect their mask using gasoline and he said he was serious. Apparently doing this will lead to dermatitis and other skin diseases or complications for the lungs. The nurses and healthcare workers are in a ratio of 1:15 nurse to patients, 1 nurse and 15 patients. And to cap it all up our health care system have anomalies and it involves a mafia stolen/missing money of about 15 billion pesos and that equates to $305,966,343.70 . Even though we are in the middle of a crisis government officials have the audacity to steal that amount of money from the nation. So all in all everyday it's just getting worst. Also the president's plan is to wait until December when China releases a vaccine what a great plan right?

      John Rodriguez yup. many people have been irresponsible. And fact of a pandemic is that is massively accelerated by travel. The fact people travel more than ever made this a worldwide pandemic in such a short amount of time. I lost a friend to COVID. He’d been traveling to Sweden, California, Florida and then Hawaii because it had been pre-booked all the way until March when it was already very obviously reckless. I canceled a trip to my boyfriend who’s studying in Belgium already in March 3rd because we didn’t want to risk it. And since Germany has closed borders I haven’t seen him since. So many people are irresponsible and only act correct when it’s absolutely mandated by law.

    It’s crazy you filmed this on March 14. I had a flight from JFK back home to Germany only two days earlier, and the security measures were not even close to what the Philippines did. The airport staff wasn’t wearing masks, most of the passengers didn’t wear masks either. There were no hand sanitizer stations, no rules to keep distance in lines.
    And Trump knew the USA had a problem at this time already, as he banned Europeans from coming to the USA right when we were at the airport to go home.
    I’m really glad we made it home in time & stayed healthy, seeing the numbers of cases explode only a couple days later.

    I used to watch bits and pieces of your videos but have begun to watch them in earnest recently. I appreciate that you show your experience, warts and all, rather than some fictitious version of your trips. That's what really makes us feel connected as viewers, I think. Because I'm watching so many in a row, I've noticed that you often mention when people don't speak English. While it's commonly spoken, it grates a bit to hear it phrased that way. If I'm in another country, I'm the foreigner. If I can't communicate, it's not because they don't speak English. It's because I don't speak Hebrew, or Russian, or Mandarin. If we were in the States, fair enough. But when abroad, we should own our communications skills, or lack thereof.

    Looks like we both had our crazy travel days on the same date! I was in Hue (Central Vietnam) with a friend on 14th March after spending 2 days in Hanoi (where pretty much everything, including my original hotel, had been closed due to a flurry of virus cases). We knew we had to get out before things got worse, so flew south to Ho Chi Minh, then to Bangkok and then back to London - almost 34 hours in total! Hindsight really does confirm whether you made the right decision - I think given the current situation globally we all did do the right thing in leaving whatever country we were travelling to go home/somewhere lower risk. Stay safe and let's hope it's not too much longer before we can all start exploring the world again :)
