Finally someone tells the truth!
Sincere thanks for your video. It was so precise, honest and professional. You gave us a crystal clear context from which to view your channel. More power to you and your partner.

Fabulous info on travel creator . Just in general this is great info about how to become a creator or influencer. The learning curve is very similar.
U guys are so Nice, my fav YouTube family now. Btw does your kids go to school?
Watching from El Salvador the content coming Family
Trying to transition from food blogging to travel vlogging now. I can definitely relate to the “Eleanor” experiences over the last 6 years. Thanks, this was very helpful!
Very insightful. I am about to start my travel vlogs as a black single mom and you have given me so much insight. Thank you very much!
this video was so informative, I am a travel agent and looking to start my travel blog. thank you for this
new sub here! my sister and I are joining the travel vlog game thanks for the tips
That's so amazing! Thanks for the vid. One question I have, how do you know if they already run adds using your content?
I love your voice. I have watched a few of these videos today and stopped paying attention because the person was either too dry or too hype. Your voice is perfect. You've gained a subscriber that is going to actually watch. Thank you so much for the content.

Hi you 4, we are your biggest fans, thank you for the inspiration you are giving us. Based on your channel we also though to give it a try and follow your footsteps 🙂 Thanks for your infos in this clip here
Thank you!!! You are a great teacher!!!
I’m in the hospitality industry and you were dropping some gems.
Wake up to reality. You live in the USA. Most people in the USA do not have a passport and have never set foot outside of that messed up country. Just get a grip….
This is super helpful! Thank you!
My mind regarding unpaid but full stay is, that even when they cover the food for the week you still have costs to cover at your actual home. So when you are there regular life still needs to be taken care of.
What is considered a "sizable audience" on YouTube, IG, and TikTok? 35:11
Nice advice
Travel is so beneficial for kids. Seeing a different culture is way better than reading about it.
travelling full time is incredible 🙂 well done on this vid
I love watching you and your family travels ,the girls have grown so much started watching, continue to encourage,inspire me to travel other countries and cultures and cities, don't stop please, and the girls will try all the foods from the countries, safe travel 🛩🛶🛳⛴⛵
Gold information, you give TikTok more than he deserve I think TikTok its not professional at all special in this period, Yes Instagram dead only when it comes to making photography content , I said that because I have worked with big brands using only My Instagram account, the focus is on Youtube and Instagram if we are talking about professional content
I have been looking for a video likes this I am 60 years old and would love to see the world with my family ❤
can you help me travel in 23 resorts in my country
Omg we are a travel family as well and this video was great for us, thank you so much, best wishes to the family ❤
This was really helpful and appreciate the time you put into sharing this. I like the fact that you show when things go wrong in the videos but also when they work out as well. Travel should be fun but some times it can be really aggravating. For example how to manage travel during Covid especially with respect to non-refundable flights and hotel stays. It's really an issue especially if you or anyone gets sick overseas. I hope you cover it in one of your videos because that can happen and can be very expensive situation.
Wow nice
This was really helpful, thanks. T
he video confirmed the knowledge I already knew and I also learnt new things too.
I love your demeanor! First video I've found on this that is ACTUALLY helpful and I could listen to you speak all day. Super calming and encouraging!
This is the most helpful video I’ve seen on this topic. I mean… wow. Thank you for sharing this for free!
Travel family goals for sure! Thanks for sharing! We're going to stick with it 😊
how do you find tourism boards ?
Love your transparency. As much as I love travelling with my family, I will never be able to do what you do. Pls keep the awesome videos coming
This video was great. Found it to be really insightful. Will apply much of this as my partner venture to begin our business. So inspired. Very digestible into a perspective steps to take, and information to keep in mind.
Beautiful family
