Creator's Key Takeaways

this one had over 550,000 Buddhas inside I had no clue what to expect with 550,000 budas but they basically covered every square inch of walls and columns with little tiny buddas

I don't think I've stressed enough how much I love the miamar people they are just so genuine and kind and adorable even if we're not exchanging any words we just sit there and talk to each other and then everybody starts laughing

this is basically the Taj Mahal of myamar a man lost his wife he was very sad and he built this for her it's so pretty

We started โ€œtravel hackingโ€ and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
