We discovered the world of “travel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;) So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went back home to “normal life.” We started this channel to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time! After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are in our 10TH YEAR of finding the best adventures the world has to offer :) We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎 Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey! 00:00:00 Our 2 week Antarctica Cruise! 00:02:36 Day 1: Penthouse Cabin tour 00:07:46 Day 2: Drake Passage 00:09:42 Polar Latitudes Hebridean Sky ship tour 00:15:11 first ice landing in Antarctica! 00:17:27 Day 4: penguins everywhere! 00:22:02 leopard seal hunting penguins 00:24:24 day 5: close humpback whale encounters 00:30:10 day 6: sleeping outside on the ice! 00:43:35 day 9: daily life onboard 00:45:35 Polar plunge! 00:49:30 Orcas 00:55:19 Day 11: elephant seals 00:58:42 Deception Island 01:01:18 day 12: Drake Passage round 2… 01:05:58 Bloops
