I’ve watched all of your videos and look forward to each new one. The way you present your videos is very natural compared to some you tubers so please don’t change.
For me, I choose what travel channels I watch based on how much I like the personality of the vloggers. I love watching you two! So while I do tend to gravitate towards travel content in Asia (cuz that's where I most want to travel to in the future) I'm excited to watch your videos no matter where they're filmed. And the videos filmed in countries that I am less interested in just help me enjoy things outside the box to me. All that to say, I'll watch your vids no matter where they're filmed!
I loved this BTS look at things. I would watch ANY content that you guys put out. I love your personalities, the attention to culture, the way you make travel accessible, your transparency and respectfulness and mindfulness you guys put out into the world. Praying and manifesting big numbers for you guys in the new year.
Guys, this was a great video! I can’t imagine how difficult it was to film a “how we do” vs. “”how to” video while trying to film a travel video. However, to answer Josh’s question about do we care about London. We enjoy watching your videos regardless of location. Lisa and Josh bring energy and excitement to the location. I only hope that our channel can one day inspire people to travel as much as you guys do. Thanks for all that you guys do!
What a revealing episode! UA-cam behind the scenes tempered with a willingness to expose more than finances or techniques. What sets apart your channel is the attempt, dedication, and reality of real film making. So many travel vlogs are designed, edited, and released “the next day” from a motel room or during a long haul flight. It shows. A Lisa and Josh long form vlog has so much thought and effort which I appreciate seeing the process. Also, it is nice noting the true collaboration between the two of you in that film making process. I came in with the Camino and have especially enjoyed the Iceland and Japanese rail episodes. It does appear to be a lot of work for modest returns. Hope the next year catapults your channel to much greater visibility. Cheers!
✨Don’t ever feel embarrassed about making your videos!!! We look forward to them like you can’t believe! My vote is YES on more Europe!! We love you. You’re both adorable!! Keep going!!!✈️🫶🏻✨
Wow, I didn't know so much went into making your content. I enjoyed this video because it gave your viewers a sneak-peak into your lives and we got to see the "real" Lisa and Josh. People aren't naive enough to believe that everything is sunshine and roses all the time, but it seems that's what most travel vloggers try to do, especially the younger ones, but I feel like you guys do a great job of capturing both the fun and less-fun side of traveling. Also, I reckon a bunch of your viewers get inspired by your videos and question whether this is something they could do themselves (myself included) and now that I see what it actually takes to make great content, I think I'll leave it in your more-than-capable hands! Keep up the fantastic work!
My wife and I have watched all your videos over the last couple of years. Starting with the Japan ones when we were planning a trip. When we were planning our honeymoon in the UK, we specifically looked to see if you had any videos for it. Unfortunately, you didn't yet. The video choices we did have were useful enough but they didn't have the vibe your videos have that we both love. I think there's a strong case to say that you have our favorite channel. In short, we'd love if you all did videos in Europe or elsewhere. We watch them regardless if we had immediate plans to travel there.
This is the best "behind the scenes" video I've ever seen from any UA-camr, and I found it to be extremely interesting. Thanks for making this, sharing it, and being so honest and thorough. This was such a fun watch.
It's not like you guys weren't already super likable but this just shows how natural and authentic you are always are. You are doing a great job and I hope we can watch another million videos!
You two definitely do enough per video. If anything, you spending 3 days in one place and doing so much feels kind of unattainable to a slow moving traveler like me. Cut yourselves some slack, many or few, whatever you do in a location is interesting and worth watching! We love you guys and have followed you for years. Much love ❤️
I support your channel because your personalities that shine through (the location is secondary); this was a really interesting BTS perspective! The voiceover recording and thought processes were especially fascinating and I love how it's truly a joint effort. The giant glass board in the background and wall-staring were just as interesting as the step-by-step, and I truly appreciate the attention to detail and all of the tiny adjustments you take the time to make so that our viewer experience is all the better -- it's really appreciated!
This is a really long winded comment and idk if you will ever read it but y’all are the best. Y’all make dope videos for us regular folks and it’s always valuable information or entertaining to watch. This video was super insightful and illustrates that even if you’re a big channel or small channel like us, the similarities are apparent. I (Marlon) struggle to film myself in public, have issues with trying to come up with something interesting to say in each scene, and find it difficult to create alluring thumbnails. People think YT is easy but it requires a lot of effort! So kudos to y’all for enduring! I learned a lot from this video too so big thanks to the two of you! Y’all’s authenticity, genuineness, and humor in addition to the Anthony Bourdain style storytelling is strongly conveyed from all of your videos. And I think those are compelling reasons why you all have 100k+ subs. The commitment to crafting videos is all in the details and its exhibited in your final product. As far as should y’all film in Europe? I’d say continue to film what you guys want to do and where you want to visit. We’d be stoked to watch either way! Safe travels!
hey guys--we really appreciate your words of encouragement (and we love a good long winded thought, as you know :)) we know those feelings all too well and gotta say--big ups to you guys for making your content super down to earth and relatable. can't wait to watch more of your stuff and visit a lot of the places you've traversed, which we haven't yet! happy travels, you two!
I watched for the genuine/authentic nature of your collective personality and your vision of being genuine/authentic. I stayed for the storytelling. Kudos!
Loved this behind the scenes! I'm laughing so hard at the talking to the camera in public bit. It really never gets easier 😂 So relatable on Europe being tougher to film than Asia (and Latin America). Berlin was the toughest place for us! Lots of judgment and lecturing 😂 Thanks for putting this together - it's great to see the process of other creators.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm sure it's good, like the rest of your videos. Happy New Year to the best English-speaking travel vlogging duo on UA-cam. 🎇
I’ve been watching your videos for years now and have loved the progression of your videos. While I still love the honestly of your first Camino trek you all seem so much happier and like you have found your style. I remember asking a while back for longer videos and we love your current format. I think you have also found a sweet spot budgeting to show what real people can do that isn’t backpacking but also isn’t unattainable. Please keep doing what you are doing and we will keep following along. Always wish for more videos but don’t want you to burn out either. This video was fascinating on the behind the scenes of how UA-cam vlogging really works!!!
You have the best travel videos on UA-cam. Are you certain it’s the thumbnails holding back your growth? I think they’re perfectly authentic, eye catching, and informative. I’d guess that the video length and once a month posting are more likely the reasons your channel is growing slowly. I love your long form, but it can take me a while to find a time to watch, and I’m more likely to split it up over several sessions. I’d be interested in seeing short (10 min) rough cuts every week that give a taste of the long movie to come. But whatever you decide, I’ll be watching. Europe is great, but I’d really love to see more of Hawaii - getting around the islands, visiting on a budget if possible, the neighborhoods, the foods. More of the South Pacific and Asia, too. Best of success to you!
Paused a bit during the insecurities explanation just to tell you how amazing you are! I’ve watched most of your videos and you guys really are tallented at storytelling! You have an amazing and captivating story to show in all videos and the amount of work you put in each and every one is extraordinary! Huge thumbs up, excited to see what’s next every time you post a new video ❤
Josh, I am watching behind-the-scenes videos on how you create UA-cam videos. First off I love your authenticity. I appreciate that you two do not take advantage of a shock value video and title grab. Yes, I want to see Europe videos. I love everything you all post. If I was a shut-in person. Your videos would be a lifeline. ❤
We just got back from a month in Japan. We don’t watch these vids for the travel, we watch them for you. The highlight of our trips is a month together, not the locations. That is why we watch you and that is what we feel is your point of difference. Enjoy and happy new year from Sydney ❤️
In short, Yes to Europe! Longer answer... You guys (along with Onepackwanderers) made Asia seem less scary and more accessible to me as a solo traveler, and I took my first trip to Asia (South Korea) a few months ago. While I have been to Europe several times, I generally stay within whatever major city I fly into. I'd love to get some pointers / inspiration from you guys to help me branch out, further away from major cities. Honestly, though, you guys are awesome and I watch all your videos. Keep it up!
One takeway I get from this video is how much your editing transforms the footage to turn it into a movie! For this video your videos really feel so normal without the background music (in a down to earth way!)
Go where you want to go Josh & Lisa, as much as I enjoy watching your travels if youre not having fun and youre not comfortable - you’ll burn out faking the funk, seen UA-camrs completely disappear from YT because of their viewers expectations. Please Be comfortable, enjoy yourselves and smell the coffee and flowers along the way 🥰
your thumbnails are great! i started watching you when you toured nz, because i'm from nz, and you just keep me coming back, so you're definitely doing something right!
I have watched all your videos and many multiple times (subscribed for years).I am super excited to see your London one and you single handedly made me want to go even for 24-48 hours. Loved this video too with a behind the scene approach! Thank you!
Yes more Europe please. For those of us in EST that's our shorter flight, it's also harder to do on a budget (especially for those using Canadian Dollars). Your videos are great realistic travel vlogs.
You two are amazing! I love Josh in the beginning because the way he talks, his voice is incredible! Then Lisa doesnt talk too much but always on point. I love your team up and videos so keep going! Wonderful work!
I love your guys perspective and how to travel on a budget for the normal traveler. I am working to get our and see this big beautiful world one country at a time. To those that say you missed something they need to calm down because you guys do a great job showing the possibilities of each place you go. Keep doing what you guys are doing. I ❤ it!
I found you guys a week ago and am so many hours deep. You two seem so genuine, I love how brave you are when it comes to travel. The megabucks UA-camrs have their place, but it’s very nice to watch how I would actually experience a city.
I can’t think of any other travel UA-camrs that have done a “behind the scenes” video. Once again: y’all are keeping it real and giving us the rundown of what it actually takes to create content for UA-cam. Also: yes to Europe; maybe do a series of visiting the less popular cities and/or countries?
"Has Social Media Ruined Travel?" My Lisa and Josh introduction and I'm still here. As a 41 year flight attendant I've seen a lot but you've both beat me. I recommend your channel often as the "not a hippie back packer youth hostel" channel and also "not your parents Viking cruise set either but advice with affordable hotels and easy good food." Always something on a stick to eat for sure. Your how to Disney for zero dollars had me in tears when listening to the description of Josh's memories on the last ride of the day. It stuck. Thanks! and Mahalo 🌺
I do want to see you guys go through Europe. I’m planning to travel in Europe in the next year and your videos are the most practical travel videos. I want to know what’s possible on a budget. And what a realistic budget is in some of these countries. Though, if it’s too much and you don’t want to do it, then don’t. Don’t burn yourselves out.
Thank you for essentially showing a 'day in the life' of a travel UA-camr. Which, to me, is very informative and interesting. I had no idea so much work, time and effort goes into producing one video. Also, I finally know where your backpacks are from! I've been wondering for years! Have a happy New Year and I cannot wait for all of the new content; wether it'll be in Europe (where I'm from) or not :D
Whatever you do, keep doing it! I love your videos and always look out for them. You have a great fun, casual style and you should never think what you do isn’t enough. I’m pretty sure I speak for your viewers when I say you do an amazing job. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
Great video!! I like your thumbnails, they are not over-edited, nor over-exaggerated. I unsubscribed from other travel youtubers because they just got "too big" and everything that comes with it. I appreciate you just how you are. Just subscribed!
I had watched your Iceland video and the Christmas in London video this past week, as watching travel vlogs is a recent discovery for me. Seeing how you make your videos was really eye opening. Like most creative endeavors- it's rewarding but hard work with a lot of time required to accomplish. You two are happy and that comes across in a positive way! Although Europe is the content I am interested in, I'm sure that there could be spots in Asia I would enjoy learning more about "traveling along with you." Thanks for illuminating the details of how youtube videos are made! Happy New Year from the Olympic Peninsula!
Excited to see your channel grow. Found you guys through your Taiwan series and stuck around. Really like your budget videos that normal people could travel and afford.
You guy never cease to impress me, keep doing what you are doing because it works. Your video are always captivating and very fun to watch, i rarely loose focus from your video, i have to watch them in one sitting and i'm adhd too. ( that's something school never achieved with me. ) Lisa, all your montage is done with a masters hand , always beautiful and natural. You do an excellent job at putting images on the story and making it feel good, your attention to detail even in your rush is impeccable. It shows that you guy give it all for us. Josh, your VO are always fun to ear and they are always setting the mood very well. Your akwardness in general lighten the mood of the video and makeus fell like your a pretty chill dude, stay natural keep being you, you don't need none of that youtuber voice like you said, you have your own thing ! Even if you might think that you guys are not doing enough for the viewers, i'll tell you that, you are doing a fantastic job. I like the enourmous effort you are putting in the process of making these video and for this i want to THANK YOU ! Lisa and Josh, you two are my best discovery of 2024 keep it up and have a great new year. Wish you the best for 2025. Much love !!
Well done guys. I remember watching the video when you hit 5000 subscribers in a hotel room. I love watching your videos because it feels so real you inspired people to travel. Our family likes to travel ourselves and a lot of videos you made inspired us to go there. One particular example is Innsbrook Austria. Another one more recent, yes hiking Mount Fuji, which we plan on the near future. Plus so many more. About this video I really appreciate you guys sharing this. Me and my wife started uploading recent and pass travel videos. Of course I’m the one editing, N I know what exactly you’re talking about and I made some pointers in order to improve our own videos. keep it up, keep it real. You guys are an inspiration.
@@LisaAndJosh thanks. By the way, our travel set up is 3 allpa 35L and 28L for our 11 year old special needs kid. I wonder who influenced us. Not sponsored 😂
Definitely interested in Europe videos, especially if it is in less frequently filmed locations (which is probably eastern Europe). Also, thanks for sharing how it is made - appreciate the amount of effort that goes into it
Loved to see the behind the scenes of it all! Aside from travel vids, these type are my fav! You guys are so natural and authentic - love your channel and look forward to every video you put out. Tbh I was floored when you showed your subscriber count, I honestly thought it was so much higher. Which is not a jab at all, I think this channel is sooo underrated! Keep it up!
You guys are one my most favourite travel You Tubers and would to see more Europe and in particular some of the more smaller less notable cities and regional areas - keep up the great work you should be proud of the the product that you are worked so hard to create - your authenticity is what makes your videos so great.
As new-ish travel creators, we found this video to be refreshing, relatable, honest, & so helpful! Thank you for sharing your process with us. Love following your journeys! :)
Love you guys, such great chemistry. I watch your videos religiously and love your long form videos (mini movies). Wishing you continued success and more subscribers in 2025.
We’ve recently started our channel in the travel niche. This video was an inspiration. Watching your process was very helpful-knowing that experienced UA-camrs like you have many of the same issues that we are struggling with makes us feel less like clueless newbies. And thumbnails are also the absolute bane of our existence. Thanks for making and sharing this video. We’ll be following along for more.
I just discovered your guys’s channel and as a fellow creator, I really appreciate this! We have a smaller channel and it just feels nice that larger channels also can feel the same insecurities so maybe they never really go away lol. I’m not sure why but there’s some comfort in that for me. Love your content and super excited to follow along!
Thank you SO much for making this. We thought we were the only ones who felt the, "omg we have no idea what we're doing" feeling each time we pick up the camera lol. Hope you both are doing well and enjoying the new year. Wishing you both safe and happy travels 🥰
You guys do enough! Love following you on your budget adventures. That’s how we’ve been able to travel so much ourselves! Keep it up. Look forward to more❤
The support and love in the comments from your viewer base is just a perfect reflection of your own wonderful characters. Thanks for everything you do 💗
What I love about the videos is that you both are just honest, candid and spontaneous. The videos are fun, informative and immersive. You guys make me feel that I was there with you every step of the way. Wishing you both a Happy New Year.
I watch A LOT of travel content on UA-cam and you’re absolutely my favorite. Your videos are a gift to your viewers, thank you! ❤ Loved this BTS video so much! (And please continue your Travel Support Thursdays, I love those too and have learned so much from you.)
This came out a week before I start 2 months of traveling where I’m planning to make some videos along the way. Such perfect timing! Love to see your process!
Amazing to see how much your channel has grown, and that your content remains as great as it has been. And even if some Londoners ended up being less than kind, at least you have your subscribers traveling with you and appreciating the work you do.
Josh & Lisa, keep doing those awesome videos, who cares what anyone else thinks, especially the haters. I for one and I'm sure there are plenty others who love and enjoy your travels. I always look forward to the next one you bring out. Have an awesome New Years. From one of your biggest fans.....Tania from New Zealand
Wow, I acquired a whole new appreciation for your videography! No wonder I have loved watching your vids over the years. And "drones are a menace to society" makes me love you even more! I know the thumbnail is important for clicks, but for me, all I look for is seeing it's you guys, and I'm in! Happy New Year!
Had no idea it took this much daily work to allow us to view your wonderful videos. Love the "honest tourist view" being so true. Inspirational, authentic, and enjoyment watching your work.
I am totally amazed at the effort you both put into making your videos. Before I watched this I knew the quality of your videos stood out from a lot of other channels we watch and now I know why. Keep producing these very interesting and entertaining travel videos.
We LOVE your videos, and honestly... hope to get our channel to your level. Of course we want a lot of subscribers, but I mean more in line with how well you guys do on camera. I know how hard it is to make videos, but you guys really make it look easy... minus the tons of running around 😂. You two really deserve the success you have achieved, and more! Keep up the great work.
Hi! I have enjoyed your past videos. It is good to see "the making of...", the process, the behind the scenes and (the challenges of) speaking in public at the camera, that you do have a video voice for filming and of course how tiring it can be. It's good to see it's not all fun, exciting, or always high spirited. It's alot of hard work too. Thank you.
Watch all your videos and 1000% would love to see more European travels. Especially off the beaten path budget type travel vs just the big cities. I watch because of your personalities so film where you want and I'll be following along. Safe Travels!
You two are doing an amazing job. The way you both have chosen to travel makes it seem so real, so genuine. You don't always get to have the cushy expensive experiences and I don't think that's a bad thing. Fun can happen anywhere. It's up to the traveler to make it happen. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us! My wife and I look forward to them always ❤
Love this so much ❤ Fascinating to watch the process! You captured the chaos of the changing of the guards perfectly 😂 i like how you don’t gloss over the details and are both so natural. Respect to you both for all your hard work and creative skills!
Hey Lisa and Josh! Just want to let you know that you guys are one of our fave travel vloggers! And part of the reason why we also decided to share our travel adventures on our channel. We're incredibly tiny compared to your channel and our views as of this moment isn't anything spectacular but we just got started and we're hoping that someday we can do travel vlogging full time as well! Thank you for inspiring us!
You two are the best. A great mix of entertainment and education and unmatched quality compared to other channels -- your Camino de Santiago Portugal was the best of many, many videos we watched to prep for our Camino. I'm not one to generally post comments on youtube but you asked about more videos in Europe -- I vote yes. I'd wager that most Americans (not that that's your only audience) travel to Europe compared to Asia and, therefore, might generate more traffic. But, as another comment stated, follow your heart. Keep it up and best of luck to you...... Your success is well-deserved.
Loved this BTS video! Really appreciate the view into Lisa’s editing process and Josh is hilarious with that gear overview. I lost it when he threw out the tripod LOL
Really enjoyed seeing how you put it all together. The time and effort, the understanding of how to keep us watching. Choosing the music. Huge amount of work. Now I will be watching and listening in a different way. fascinating, thanks for making it.
You guys are awesome and so is this video! We are going through a really tough time here at the moment and your cheery voices and faces lifted us for a while so thanks so much! Have the happiest New Year and the best 2025 guys, we are so looking forward to watching what you craft. Cheers
I’ve watched all of your videos and look forward to each new one. The way you present your videos is very natural compared to some you tubers so please don’t change.
Yes. This. You two are the most genuine, and easiest to watch. Don’t change.
agree 😊

So while I do tend to gravitate towards travel content in Asia (cuz that's where I most want to travel to in the future) I'm excited to watch your videos no matter where they're filmed.

What is super interesting video. I have never seen another channel make another video like this and I really like it.
I love how REAL you guys are! No wonder your channel is exploding. Wishing you success and adventure in the New Year!
thank you for your message! happy new year to you too!
@@LisaAndJoshwhat editing software did you use

I totally agree with this comment, your chemistry together & realistic views are brilliant.. please dont lose this as your channel takes off

For thumbnails, keep testing. I'd recommend utilizing the A/B tool.
You have the best travel videos on UA-cam. Are you certain it’s the thumbnails holding back your growth? I think they’re perfectly authentic, eye catching, and informative.

Europe is great, but I’d really love to see more of Hawaii - getting around the islands, visiting on a budget if possible, the neighborhoods, the foods. More of the South Pacific and Asia, too. Best of success to you!
I prefer you being honest and talk openly than watching somebody faking entire video. I like you guys! ❤
Also, the "ho, ho, ho" was a brilliant touch to the London intro! We were both cracking up at that.
Paused a bit during the insecurities explanation just to tell you how amazing you are! I’ve watched most of your videos and you guys really are tallented at storytelling! You have an amazing and captivating story to show in all videos and the amount of work you put in each and every one is extraordinary! Huge thumbs up, excited to see what’s next every time you post a new video ❤
thanks for the kind words :) we're really glad to hear they're resonating!!
Josh, I am watching behind-the-scenes videos on how you create UA-cam videos. First off I love your authenticity. I appreciate that you two do not take advantage of a shock value video and title grab.
Yes, I want to see Europe videos. I love everything you all post. If I was a shut-in person. Your videos would be a lifeline. ❤
You guys get great shots 📷 I like your style !
We just got back from a month in Japan. We don’t watch these vids for the travel, we watch them for you. The highlight of our trips is a month together, not the locations. That is why we watch you and that is what we feel is your point of difference. Enjoy and happy new year from Sydney ❤️
In short, Yes to Europe! Longer answer... You guys (along with Onepackwanderers) made Asia seem less scary and more accessible to me as a solo traveler, and I took my first trip to Asia (South Korea) a few months ago. While I have been to Europe several times, I generally stay within whatever major city I fly into. I'd love to get some pointers / inspiration from you guys to help me branch out, further away from major cities. Honestly, though, you guys are awesome and I watch all your videos. Keep it up!
One takeway I get from this video is how much your editing transforms the footage to turn it into a movie! For this video your videos really feel so normal without the background music (in a down to earth way!)
More everything please. Yes to europe. Go where u want to to go! Longtime fan, first comment. This bts one is fun too. Love your videos!
Go where you want to go Josh & Lisa, as much as I enjoy watching your travels if youre not having fun and youre not comfortable - you’ll burn out faking the funk, seen UA-camrs completely disappear from YT because of their viewers expectations. Please Be comfortable, enjoy yourselves and smell the coffee and flowers along the way 🥰
your thumbnails are great! i started watching you when you toured nz, because i'm from nz, and you just keep me coming back, so you're definitely doing something right!
Hello, yes please we would love Europe content! Especially your budget series on it!
We binge watch your channel constantly
I have watched all your videos and many multiple times (subscribed for years).I am super excited to see your London one and you single handedly made me want to go even for 24-48 hours.
Loved this video too with a behind the scene approach!
Thank you!
Yes more Europe please. For those of us in EST that's our shorter flight, it's also harder to do on a budget (especially for those using Canadian Dollars). Your videos are great realistic travel vlogs.
You two are amazing! I love Josh in the beginning because the way he talks, his voice is incredible! Then Lisa doesnt talk too much but always on point. I love your team up and videos so keep going! Wonderful work!
I love your guys perspective and how to travel on a budget for the normal traveler. I am working to get our and see this big beautiful world one country at a time. To those that say you missed something they need to calm down because you guys do a great job showing the possibilities of each place you go. Keep doing what you guys are doing. I ❤ it!
I found you guys a week ago and am so many hours deep. You two seem so genuine, I love how brave you are when it comes to travel. The megabucks UA-camrs have their place, but it’s very nice to watch how I would actually experience a city.
I can’t think of any other travel UA-camrs that have done a “behind the scenes” video. Once again: y’all are keeping it real and giving us the rundown of what it actually takes to create content for UA-cam. Also: yes to Europe; maybe do a series of visiting the less popular cities and/or countries?
"Has Social Media Ruined Travel?" My Lisa and Josh introduction and I'm still here. As a 41 year flight attendant I've seen a lot but you've both beat me. I recommend your channel often as the "not a hippie back packer youth hostel" channel and also "not your parents Viking cruise set either but advice with affordable hotels and easy good food." Always something on a stick to eat for sure. Your how to Disney for zero dollars had me in tears when listening to the description of Josh's memories on the last ride of the day. It stuck.
Thanks! and Mahalo 🌺
I do want to see you guys go through Europe. I’m planning to travel in Europe in the next year and your videos are the most practical travel videos. I want to know what’s possible on a budget. And what a realistic budget is in some of these countries.
Though, if it’s too much and you don’t want to do it, then don’t. Don’t burn yourselves out.
Thank you for essentially showing a 'day in the life' of a travel UA-camr. Which, to me, is very informative and interesting. I had no idea so much work, time and effort goes into producing one video. Also, I finally know where your backpacks are from! I've been wondering for years!
Have a happy New Year and I cannot wait for all of the new content; wether it'll be in Europe (where I'm from) or not :D
Love the honesty in your videos. This feels like an authentic experience of the average traveler! Thanks for the great content.
Yes! More Europe! We visited Innsbruck because we watched your video and kept saying “Lisa and Josh were here!”
Whatever you do, keep doing it! I love your videos and always look out for them. You have a great fun, casual style and you should never think what you do isn’t enough. I’m pretty sure I speak for your viewers when I say you do an amazing job. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
Great video!! I like your thumbnails, they are not over-edited, nor over-exaggerated. I unsubscribed from other travel youtubers because they just got "too big" and everything that comes with it. I appreciate you just how you are. Just subscribed!
Aloha from Colorado. 🤙 Just found and started following you. Mahalo for being vulnerable, honest, and funny!
I had watched your Iceland video and the Christmas in London video this past week, as watching travel vlogs is a recent discovery for me. Seeing how you make your videos was really eye opening. Like most creative endeavors- it's rewarding but hard work with a lot of time required to accomplish. You two are happy and that comes across in a positive way! Although Europe is the content I am interested in, I'm sure that there could be spots in Asia I would enjoy learning more about "traveling along with you." Thanks for illuminating the details of how youtube videos are made! Happy New Year from the Olympic Peninsula!
thank you :)
Excited to see your channel grow. Found you guys through your Taiwan series and stuck around. Really like your budget videos that normal people could travel and afford.
You guy never cease to impress me, keep doing what you are doing because it works. Your video are always captivating and very fun to watch, i rarely loose focus from your video, i have to watch them in one sitting and i'm adhd too. ( that's something school never achieved with me. )
Lisa, all your montage is done with a masters hand , always beautiful and natural. You do an excellent job at putting images on the story and making it feel good, your attention to detail even in your rush is impeccable. It shows that you guy give it all for us.
Josh, your VO are always fun to ear and they are always setting the mood very well. Your akwardness in general lighten the mood of the video and makeus fell like your a pretty chill dude, stay natural keep being you, you don't need none of that youtuber voice like you said, you have your own thing !
Even if you might think that you guys are not doing enough for the viewers, i'll tell you that, you are doing a fantastic job. I like the enourmous effort you are putting in the process of making these video and for this i want to THANK YOU !
Lisa and Josh, you two are my best discovery of 2024 keep it up and have a great new year. Wish you the best for 2025. Much love !!
Love the behind the scenes, glad you are making enough to keep these great video coming.
Well done guys. I remember watching the video when you hit 5000 subscribers in a hotel room. I love watching your videos because it feels so real you inspired people to travel. Our family likes to travel ourselves and a lot of videos you made inspired us to go there. One particular example is Innsbrook Austria. Another one more recent, yes hiking Mount Fuji, which we plan on the near future. Plus so many more.
About this video I really appreciate you guys sharing this. Me and my wife started uploading recent and pass travel videos. Of course I’m the one editing, N I know what exactly you’re talking about and I made some pointers in order to improve our own videos. keep it up, keep it real. You guys are an inspiration.
Thanks for the support and so happy to hear Mt Fuji is in your future!! You guys got this!
@@LisaAndJosh thanks. By the way, our travel set up is 3 allpa 35L and 28L for our 11 year old special needs kid. I wonder who influenced us. Not sponsored 😂
Definitely interested in Europe videos, especially if it is in less frequently filmed locations (which is probably eastern Europe). Also, thanks for sharing how it is made - appreciate the amount of effort that goes into it
Loved to see the behind the scenes of it all! Aside from travel vids, these type are my fav! You guys are so natural and authentic - love your channel and look forward to every video you put out. Tbh I was floored when you showed your subscriber count, I honestly thought it was so much higher. Which is not a jab at all, I think this channel is sooo underrated! Keep it up!
You guys are one my most favourite travel You Tubers and would to see more Europe and in particular some of the more smaller less notable cities and regional areas - keep up the great work you should be proud of the the product that you are worked so hard to create - your authenticity is what makes your videos so great.
As new-ish travel creators, we found this video to be refreshing, relatable, honest, & so helpful! Thank you for sharing your process with us. Love following your journeys! :)
So glad to hear this guys!
Love you guys, such great chemistry. I watch your videos religiously and love your long form videos (mini movies). Wishing you continued success and more subscribers in 2025.
Watching this makes me appreciate the work involved in doing just one of these!
We’ve recently started our channel in the travel niche. This video was an inspiration. Watching your process was very helpful-knowing that experienced UA-camrs like you have many of the same issues that we are struggling with makes us feel less like clueless newbies.
And thumbnails are also the absolute bane of our existence.
Thanks for making and sharing this video. We’ll be following along for more.
thanks, guys! We hear ya on the thumbnails...it's a constant battle!!
I just discovered your guys’s channel and as a fellow creator, I really appreciate this! We have a smaller channel and it just feels nice that larger channels also can feel the same insecurities so maybe they never really go away lol. I’m not sure why but there’s some comfort in that for me.
Love your content and super excited to follow along!
Thank you SO much for making this. We thought we were the only ones who felt the, "omg we have no idea what we're doing" feeling each time we pick up the camera lol. Hope you both are doing well and enjoying the new year. Wishing you both safe and happy travels 🥰
I just re-watched your London vlog!
I love your contents, storytelling, and concept! More travel videos!! 👏😊
You guys do enough! Love following you on your budget adventures. That’s how we’ve been able to travel so much ourselves! Keep it up. Look forward to more❤
I love the insights you include in your travel contents. I also feel relaxed watching your videos.
Very informative-I knew nothing about how any of this was done.Keep it up-the best travel videos made.
The support and love in the comments from your viewer base is just a perfect reflection of your own wonderful characters. Thanks for everything you do 💗
What I love about the videos is that you both are just honest, candid and spontaneous. The videos are fun, informative and immersive. You guys make me feel that I was there with you every step of the way. Wishing you both a Happy New Year.
Always fun hanging out with both of you...CONGRATS on becoming self-sufficient
I watch A LOT of travel content on UA-cam and you’re absolutely my favorite. Your videos are a gift to your viewers, thank you! ❤ Loved this BTS video so much! (And please continue your Travel Support Thursdays, I love those too and have learned so much from you.)
This came out a week before I start 2 months of traveling where I’m planning to make some videos along the way. Such perfect timing! Love to see your process!
Amazing to see how much your channel has grown, and that your content remains as great as it has been. And even if some Londoners ended up being less than kind, at least you have your subscribers traveling with you and appreciating the work you do.
Josh & Lisa, keep doing those awesome videos, who cares what anyone else thinks, especially the haters. I for one and I'm sure there are plenty others who love and enjoy your travels. I always look forward to the next one you bring out. Have an awesome New Years. From one of your biggest fans.....Tania from New Zealand
thank you thank you :) we most certainly will. probably.
Boy, do you guys work a lot harder than anyone would think! Great video and we appreciate your efforts. Thanks for taking us along with you ⭐
Most people have no clue how much work goes into a good UA-cam video and the years leading up to channel growth earning virtually nothing
Wow, I acquired a whole new appreciation for your videography! No wonder I have loved watching your vids over the years. And "drones are a menace to society" makes me love you even more! I know the thumbnail is important for clicks, but for me, all I look for is seeing it's you guys, and I'm in! Happy New Year!
I loved your Italy videos a few years ago so I’d say yes to Europe! Plus your unique budget friendly travel is so relatable.
I love watching all your videos travel on a budget in a campervan...so fun & exciting!
I have a new appreciation for your videos after seeing how much work you guys put into each one.
Happy New Year and all the best in 2025!
Had no idea it took this much daily work to allow us to view your wonderful videos. Love the "honest tourist view" being so true. Inspirational, authentic, and enjoyment watching your work.
I am totally amazed at the effort you both put into making your videos. Before I watched this I knew the quality of your videos stood out from a lot of other channels we watch and now I know why. Keep producing these very interesting and entertaining travel videos.
We LOVE your videos, and honestly... hope to get our channel to your level. Of course we want a lot of subscribers, but I mean more in line with how well you guys do on camera. I know how hard it is to make videos, but you guys really make it look easy... minus the tons of running around 😂. You two really deserve the success you have achieved, and more! Keep up the great work.
Hi! I have enjoyed your past videos. It is good to see "the making of...", the process, the behind the scenes and (the challenges of) speaking in public at the camera, that you do have a video voice for filming and of course how tiring it can be. It's good to see it's not all fun, exciting, or always high spirited. It's alot of hard work too. Thank you.
Watch all your videos and 1000% would love to see more European travels. Especially off the beaten path budget type travel vs just the big cities.
I watch because of your personalities so film where you want and I'll be following along. Safe Travels!
I love how real and honest you guys are! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into crafting such amazing content! ❤
You two are doing an amazing job. The way you both have chosen to travel makes it seem so real, so genuine. You don't always get to have the cushy expensive experiences and I don't think that's a bad thing. Fun can happen anywhere. It's up to the traveler to make it happen. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us! My wife and I look forward to them always ❤
I found you guys planning a Japan trip, and now I'm hooked! Thanks for the behind the scenes!
You guys r doing great! Slow down & enjoy the places u go to & things u see. Happy new year 🎊 🎉🍾🍾🍾
Love this so much ❤ Fascinating to watch the process! You captured the chaos of the changing of the guards perfectly 😂 i like how you don’t gloss over the details and are both so natural. Respect to you both for all your hard work and creative skills!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes! It is fun to watch you two wherever you go.
I remember when you guys had a few thousand subs, and now look! Congrats!
This was so cool and incredibly useful to see your behind the scenes of how you two make videos! Thank you for always keeping it real and authentic!
Thanks for the support!! :)
Thanks for making this! Looking forward to watching the London on a Budget video. Love you guys!
Hey Lisa and Josh! Just want to let you know that you guys are one of our fave travel vloggers! And part of the reason why we also decided to share our travel adventures on our channel. We're incredibly tiny compared to your channel and our views as of this moment isn't anything spectacular but we just got started and we're hoping that someday we can do travel vlogging full time as well! Thank you for inspiring us!
You two are the best. A great mix of entertainment and education and unmatched quality compared to other channels -- your Camino de Santiago Portugal was the best of many, many videos we watched to prep for our Camino. I'm not one to generally post comments on youtube but you asked about more videos in Europe -- I vote yes. I'd wager that most Americans (not that that's your only audience) travel to Europe compared to Asia and, therefore, might generate more traffic. But, as another comment stated, follow your heart. Keep it up and best of luck to you...... Your success is well-deserved.
really appreciate your message! :)
Loved this BTS video! Really appreciate the view into Lisa’s editing process and Josh is hilarious with that gear overview. I lost it when he threw out the tripod LOL
Really like the behind the scenes video hope y'all have a great new year 🎊🕛
Really enjoyed seeing how you put it all together. The time and effort, the understanding of how to keep us watching. Choosing the music. Huge amount of work. Now I will be watching and listening in a different way. fascinating, thanks for making it.
You guys are awesome and so is this video! We are going through a really tough time here at the moment and your cheery voices and faces lifted us for a while so thanks so much! Have the happiest New Year and the best 2025 guys, we are so looking forward to watching what you craft. Cheers
