How Travel Became Our Job: Highs, Lows & Lessons of 2025
I've been a content creator for over 10 years and whenever I tell people that it's my career, they're curious as to how it became my job and how we make it work. So in this video we'll break down many of our most asked FAQs.
We'll discuss how we came to be full time travel creators and how we became YouTubers (as well as how we learned how to edit and make videos).
We'll then discuss the highs and lows of our travel destinations this year (we visited France, Dominica, Scotland, England, Italy, Ireland, Canada, Malta & Switzerland) before we discuss the videos which were the best to film, and which were the hardest.
We'll also talk about our travel gear set up, including which lenses we use, which camera we have, and our drone. We'll also cover the many interviews we filmed, where we had the opportunity to speak with people in many different professions, from tailors to gardeners to gallery owners and winemakers. We'll end the video with a discussion about what our 2026 will look like.
