Thankfully Uber came to the rescue and took us to the most beautiful cruise ship we’ve ever been on. We got a special surprise when we arrived to our room and then toured the ship! ***TRAVEL VLOG 462*** All songs are from Epidemic Sound https://goo.gl/8Gf2qB (Get a free month of unlimited songs with this link!)

We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! 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. :) We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on YouTube, such as: +Casey Neistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown, and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)
