Wow, I had no idea and that was a really great video! You need to do more "how to's" in the future. How you select your airbnb's, how you chose your travel route, how did you prepare for language barriers to different countries, etc. Very cool video and as always, I enjoyed it greatly!
Thank you so much Jan!! We're going to try & incorporate this into most of our videos going forward. We want to try & give as much information as we can in order to help people prepare for any travel they're looking to do, & MAN are the credit cards a boost. Get ready for a whole lot more How-To content!!!!😊
Hi! I saw you both on a video that Brian and Carrie posted and decided to check out your CZcams. Love your energy and adventurous spirits! My husband and I are both in the military, but my plan is to TRAVEL when we are both done in the next few years. your videos just fuel the fire to do so!
Hi Michelle!!! Thank you so much for both of your service!! Trey was in the Air Force for 4 years & the travel bug that he got from those years clearly never left🤣 We're so thankful that you found our channel & are so thankful for our friendship with Brian & Carrie. They're the absolute best!! Best of luck on your journey & always feel free to reach out if you have any questions. You guys are going to have the best time & we can't wait for your journey to start so that we can follow along!!!😊
One of the best videos I've seen! Great info and excellent editing!! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to joining the full time travel ranks soon!💪🏽💜💯
YESS!!!! You're going to LOVE this lifestyle!! It's definitely hard work & you make so many sacrifices, but we wouldn't trade it for the world. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video & best of luck to you on your journey!!!😊
Great advice here . I really enjoyed watching this vlog. It was good to see the wedding pics and the family. You both look fabulous. Tip . time for hair cut lol. 🙂😎😮👍
When I told Hannah about your haircut tip, she HOWLED laughing🤣 It's definitely getting REALLY long at this point. I have urges every once in awhile to cut it, but I'm just going to keep letting it grow just to see what it looks like. Thank you so much for watching & we're so glad you enjoyed this vlog!! We wanted to show some more of our life before we left for this trip & seeing the pictures/videos definitely sent us down memory lane!
Great video. I also want to travel full time. I’m taking away a number of these to help me except credit card game; I’m in Canada, and we don’t get a lot great offers like in US. I hope you do videos like this one. How you plan your travels or book your accommodations now that hotels or Airbnb are a lot more expensive or detailed advice on keeping your costs of travel low (are you guys budget travellers?).
That was an interesting video! I hope y'all keep going for as long as you can! Keep up the great videos!
Oh we definitely are!!! We've basically made the decision to just continue making content until we're completely sick of it, which is good because we're absolutely NOWHERE close to that point😂 thank you so much for watching Eric!!!😊
Impressive planning. You also had a really nice stroll around downtown. Was also nicely surprised by the usage of Croatian words 🤗
Thanks for watching! We LOVE Zagreb and spent a lot of time in Croatia last year. Our Croatian is very minimal, but we try our best.☺️ 🇭🇷
Awesome video and tips! Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏼😅
Our pleasure!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!😊
Awesome job!!! Great details and the CSP card ROCKS!! It's my favorite for travel hacking and taking my family on mostly free vacations!
We COMPLETELY agree!! We love the CSP. I (Trey) actually had it for years before we made this plan & it's helped us with a vacation to Colorado & Puerto Rico. It's amazing how much you can do with travel credit cards as long as you keep them under control🤣 thank you so much for tuning in & for leaving the kind words!! It means the world to us!!
The air mile hack is not available in the UK unfortunately. Credit cards are not so generous. Luckily air routes are so competitive you can almost always find a great price going somewhere. Also, twice we have sold everything we owned and moved to the other side of the planet and its surprisingly freeing!
If you have a Nectar card (free!) in the UK then you can convert spends in a huge amount of places, notably massive supermarket chain Sainsburys, into Avios points which can be used on BA and other airlines. Also American Express UK offers travel rewards. And Tesco, the biggest UK brand, offers their clubcard members (again free to join) huge travel rewards with their partners in their extensive travel program from Eurostar to high end hotels.
@@COMEINTOMYWORLD thanks. I'll look closer at Nectar and clubcard as I have both.
I just found you guys!! Really cool video!! I'll save it for at least a few more years, gotta graduated high school first!!
Ahh Hayden we're so glad you found our channel!! The best thing you can do is start learning about this stuff early & you definitely are! Just continue to save, study, & work towards it. If you're interested in working full-time while abroad, then try & study for careers that allow you to be remote as well (i.e. graphic design, coding, website development). These will be able to provide you plenty of income while you're traveling too. Best of luck & feel free to ask us questions if you ever need help. Thank you so much for watching our video!!!
Awesome stuff! We are on our way to full time travel too. Have a cross-Atlantic cruise to kick off the next adventure in May. See you on the road 😊
YES!!!! We love to hear that!!! You're going to have an absolute blast. This lifestyle is honestly so great. Definitely challenging, but mannnn you will absolutely love it. And doing a cruise to start it off?? That's the coolest way!! Hope to see you guys at some point & best of luck. You're going to crush it!!!!
@@ProbablyLost Thanks for the support! The travel community is pretty spectacular 😁. We are crazy excited to see what the world has to offer (hardships and all 😅). Love your style... Can't wait to see what you guys keep putting out there!
Hey, great video! I really liked how you wrote the steps as part of your video, really helped. I am looking to start to travel full time and was wondering how you can afford to travel full time, is youtube your income combined with the travel hacks or do you have another way to make income? Thank you and best of luck to you!
Hi Valeria!!! I'm so glad you found our channel!! So as far as income, we originally planned not to have it & just leave our jobs. However right as we were leaving, Hannah's employer asked her to stay on part-time for a period in order to help them with transition. It's only a part-time role but I'd be lying if I said it didn't help us. However we still having to use savings too. We thankfully don't have to dip into it nearly as much had she not gotten the opportunity for part-time. In any case, it's still VERY possible to do this without any type of income! We don't make very much money off of CZcams at all right now (around $150 per month), so savings is what keeps us going for the most part. If you'd like to get a little bit more background on who we are then feel free to check out our Q&A vlog that we did a few months back! czcams.com/video/7XWfQXij_hg/video.html
Well done on the video! I need to get better with my credit card hacks!
Thanks so much Matt!! We're definitely still trying to learn more tips & tricks. There's just so much to learn when it comes to travel/credit cards!!
Did you have any anxiety before you gave your 30 day notice to your apartment ?
We definitely did, but the excitement of finally leaving on our trip was enough to push that anxiety to the side. We wouldn't change a thing!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!😊
Interesting video. However, it's not REALLY "FULL-TIME" travel, at least not forever. If you are spending more than you earn, than eventually you'll have to stop. So I would think step 1 of planning is to determine HOW LONG you want to travel for. Obviously if you don't want to be as cheap, the time is shorter. Also, I assume you don't want to spend all of your savings, otherwise when you are done, you'll be broke with no home or possessions or job. That's the other thing one needs to consider, once you're done traveling, how much savings you'll need to support yourself til you can get another job. If one really want's to travel FULL-TIME indefinitely, they'd need to find a part-time job that can be done remotely. Or a nice sponsor. Also, credit card hacks will only get you so far. Signing up for too many cards in a short amount of time can hurt your credit score. Many card sign up bonuses are only allowed every 2 or 4 years. Another area to cut costs is while traveling ofcourse. The most common thing (that is often expensive, at least in the US) that I see in your videos is alcohol and coffee. Ofcourse everyone has different priorities in this area.
Anyways, I guess it depends on ones true travel goals. If one just wants to see the world, one could get a full time job that pays enough for you to take many intl trips a year. You're not full time and you're paying more for the cost for long distance flights, but you can still visit many places and aren't paying for a hotel or airbnb every day. I'm sure there are lot of happy mediums that don't involve selling everything and being away full-time. I've been to about 70 countries and I've found there are many places that are nice to visit but not nice to live in.
