    I had to pause the video for a second because I just had to comment that to hear Flora say that she thought nobody would want to watch her or that she felt uncomfortable being on camera just seems so crazy to me because you’re so enjoyable to watch and you’re very sweet.

    Hi Flora and Note! 👋🏽
    Thank you for sharing your journey with us! This video was extremely timely for us and validated many thoughts and feelings we’ve been having around our channel. It’s hard not to compare ourselves to other channels, but we also believe as long as you stay true to yourselves, your people will find you!
    Thank you for providing positive inspiration! ♥️

My wife and I so thoroughly enjoy you. And I watch every video!!!!! Love your hearts and the sweetness of who you are!!!

    I love your content. It’s not like a lot of the other UA-cam channels where all they do is eat and not do much. There is not a lot of information provided in those vlogs. That is why I like your videos.

    I love you guys! You're so natural and positive on camera and you give a prospective traveller a great idea of how things will look like on the road, in real life. In fact, you've inspired us to plan a trip to Yunnan, because it looked really doable. China sounded extremely daunting, but following you along made us realize we could manage. We are leaving from Canada in November :)

    Thank you, Flora and Note for sharing your journey and your struggle. Your sharing encourages me and assures me that I am not alone in this journey...we have similar struggles and it took me 2.5 years to monetise...and I am grateful I reached it.
    Lastly, I love what Note said, don't ask others for opinions but rather record it and post. Sometimes, people are giving advice based on your opinion and experience. We should know our strength and be brave to try.

    HI Flora and Note! I look forward to these type of videos where you just talk about your feelings and experiences..It is very enlightening. You both make it easy but as you were talking there is a lot going in the background that most don’t see. For me that can be just as entertaining as watching you both getting covered in mud, which is one of my favorite episodes. When I’m down I watch that particular one and magic I feel better…lol. You said that Kara and Nate inspired you and I also like them too, but you both make me smile, Kara kinda makes me nervous…lol…Take care safe travels…

  • @wherearewe-yt
    @wherearewe-yt 2 дні тому +2

    Oh boy- this is all WAY too familiar. Hahaha. We've actually been watching travel UA-cam together for over ten years, but only actually decided to take the plunge a little less than two years ago. We started with just a phone (an out of date Android, at that) and a big, annoying external microphone. We decided to make a few "practice videos" as well, which we honestly never thought would see the light of day- but posted them anyway. There was such a learning curve to the whole thing, and we're still figuring things out to this day.
    Everything you said is super relatable. It's SO hard to not constantly check the numbers and compare to others. It can be so disheartening. People can also be super rude, and cruel. And even if 99% of the comments are decent, it's always that 1% of jerks that sticks with you.
    We're just shy of our two years on UA-cam, and are just reaching 10K, even though we were monetized in 3 months. UA-cam life has SO MANY highs and lows. It's really hard to stay focused and not let it get you down. But it is nice to see we're not alone feeling this way! What you've guys accomplished so far is super impressive, and having a core audience like you've found is the dream. It's so much better to have, than a large sub count that doesn't even actually watch or engage. Hopefully one day we'll have the same. 🤞
    You guys make great content. Keep up all the amazing work!

    I think you're both amazing on camera, one of the many things i love about your videos. I've seen a few travel vlogs and i didn't vibe half as much with any of them. You don't need to be "bubbly" to be a good watching experience. In fact i find overly bubbly personalities grating, it always feels so false. You keep being you ❤

    Hello you, Couple. I've been watching your main UA-cam channel for a long time on my wife's subscription ( she's Asian so it's normal that she's controlling everything 😂 ).
    I love your idea of a podcast channel. It will give us the opportunity to learn boring technical tips and tricks of traveling that will make our travels more enjoyable. 🙏. On your main channel, can you tease us on where will be your next destination? It will give us a chance to tip you back on some interesting stuff to cover. like, when you where in Luang Prabang. I wish you had talked about theirs famous river algae snack. Another suggestion is to use a common thread about this region. By example, transportation, energie, most important factory that are proper to this country. See you on my next trip to Malaysia ❤

We liked both of you and your content especially Note when he tastes something and his whole face lights up. Keep up the great work, loved your China trip. It showed us a whole new side of China and your latest but in truth we liked both all your travels.
