We discovered the world of “travel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;) So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went back home to “normal life.” We started this channel to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time! After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are in our 11TH YEAR of finding the best adventures the world has to offer :) We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎 Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey! 0:00 Azerbaijan drama 2:12 PART 1: THE PORT… 10:00 We were robbed 13:52 “Prison” #1 21:58 day 27 ugh 26:16 “Prison” #2 32:55 PART 2: THE FERRY… 37:51 day 28 onboard 47:46 day 29 onboard 50:40 our breaking point 59:14 Turkmenistan immigration 1:01:54 Bloops
