YouTube Video Description

Want to travel Myanmar with us? We are hosting a trip on this exact same boat in November 2019, but we've added a more adventurous spin to the itinerary. Learn more here - http://bit.ly/myanmarinsta Thank you Paukan Cruises! http://paukan.com/ Our last day of our Irrawaddy River Cruise was a great one! We sadly left the ship after 10 days and visited a pagoda with what Buddhists believe is the holiest Buddha statue in the world - the only one built during his lifetime. Next we got to see how the gold leaves that are placed on the statue are pounded for hours and hours. And lastly we visited the largest book in the world. We ended the day with traditional Burmese Barbecue, and that’s a wrap on our incredible Myanmar trip!! ✈️ @DailyDrop is our FREE travel newsletter!

We started “travel hacking” 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. :)
