Happy Sunday ๐ค
Welcome to all the new subscribers, so happy for all the new faces ๐๐ผ we hit 3000 this week ๐พ
Thank you to everyone who subscribed and a reminder that for every 10 new subscribers we feed a stray animal ๐ถ๐ฑ
Was trying to post the final video of our biking adventure across the Himalayas today, where we camp with locals and nomads. A top 3 life experience, really ๐๐ผ canโt wait for everyone to see it ๐
But work was a bit hectic the last 2 weeks with changing jobs so hoping to get it up next week Sunday ๐ค๐ผgot to work to travel ๐
In the meantime we had the once in a lifetime opportunity to see Taylor Swift in concert in Singapore. Wow wow wow, what a woman and what a production.
Hope everyone has a beautiful week ahead and would love to hear any highlights from your past two weeks/ what you are looking forward to! โค๏ธ
Hello!
Thank you for the incredible support lately. โค๏ธ
YouTube has been an excruciatingly slow growth journey ๐
, but the last few weeks has been AMAZING seeing the growth. (Thank you India, you guys are incredible). ๐ฎ๐ณ
Videos take a long time to make, especially editing. But also because we have full time jobs, unrelated to travel or making videos, that can be quite demanding at times in the tech start-up world. ๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ป
So thank you so much for all the support lately it has been a real mood booster and motivator. ๐ช๐ผ๐พ
Since our videos are anything between 2 years to 3 months old/delayed and not always in chronological order of the countries that we travel to I thought it would be good to just give an update here sometimes? ๐
We are currently in Hanoi Vietnam and it has been such a wonderful experience. ๐ป๐ณ We are only here for 2.5 weeks before going to Singapore and Malaysia.
Working full time in the week only allows weekends and some mornings for exploring so we can't wait to come back and explore the other incredible parts of Vietnam as we've only been in Hanoi and Halong Bay (our Sapa Hiking plans got cancelled for this weekend because Jared picked up the flu here).
BUT we have some great videos coming up about our time in Halong Bay, and Hanoi! ๐๏ธ๐ต๐๐๏ธ
Hopefully the 2nd part of the 3 part Biking through the Himalayas in Ladakh India series will be out on Thursday. ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
Hope everyone will have a productive and fun week ahead! ๐คฉ
Itโs been a (very) long time comingโฆ ๐พ

We finally hit 1000 subscribers today ๐
To many it might seem like a very small feat, but it took me 30 months ๐๐ that might be a new record on YouTube for the longest it took a channel to hit this milestone ๐
When the feature to make posts on YouTube turned on at 500 subscribers I wanted to make a post but thought people would be likeโฆ whoโs she posting forโฆ sheโs got so little subscribers. ๐
But I told myself that one day when I hit a 1000 subscribers โฆ whenever that might beโฆ ๐ I will make my first post and not feel weird about it. So here we go! ๐พ
Thank you to every single person whoโs watched a video, subscribed, said hello in the comments, given advice on places to visit and how to make the videos better. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. ๐ฌโค๏ธ
But more than that, thank you to everyone who subscribed and or donated a meal to a stray animal ๐ถ๐ more than a 1000 have not gone hungry thanks to YOU!! โค๏ธ๐ค
Why is a 1000 subscribers a big deal?
Well, you need a 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours in the last 365 days to get monetized. ๐ฌ
4000 hours is now in close reach and Iโll let you know when that happens โฑ๏ธ
Thank you again to everyone!

After remote working became the new norm and staring at the same wall everyday became a bit mundane we saw it as the perfect time to work remotely while traveling the world. It is a balancing act but the rewards of seeing amazing places every weekend are well worth the in-between frustrations. These videos are a combination of cinematic locations, epic adventures, the history of special places, and the real-unedited reality of traveling while working remotely.
