Creator's Key Takeaways

we spent his first full day in Asia riding around on a motorbike my life insurance is paid up

the best thing about these bags that's how much you can stuff into them is how organized they are

we're starting our two-day cruise and one of the most beautiful places in the whole country

I've been travelling for almost four years I think this is one of the most local places we've ever been

Today we got out of the city of Hanoi and took a luxury cruise through the gorgeous Ha Long Bay.

We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home 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 now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
