We are super grateful to you guys for putting it together. We saw some ancient ruins (Kind of) ate some delicious nashville BBQ and drank a few different beverages in a few different honky tonks! Oh, and we played some games in a Beer-cade!? Watch our Nashville travel guide video below: #nashville #nashvilletourism #whattodoinnashville #nashvilletennesee

!Hola from the seaside town of Palomino in Colombia! Breakdown of what's below: Expenses YouTube Analytics Summary Expense Report Categorys This is a quick reference category breakdown of our expenses. Welcome to our May Travel Budget Update! This is finally looking like something we can manage! This month's expenses have fallen below our $100 a day goal. Although, let’s be honest, it's probable that i’ve missed something! Regardless, we managed to get through a very expensive country and onto a new continent for a relatively affordable price. Thank you QANTAS points (Used from Nashville to Bogota) aaaaand spending a night in Nashville airport. Of course we managed to utilize trusted house sitters to keep costs down too! Accommodations Expenses It's a nice feeling to get out of the money draining North America without too much damage. We luckily found a trusted house sitters in Nashville for our perfect dates. Allowing us to do 2 trusted house sitters in the same month! That helped a lot because ONE night in Nashville was around $200 for the cheapest place. Hence why we spent our last night in Nashville curled up at the airport! Moving to Colombia has been great for the budget and allowed us to have a 10 day wor-cation in Bogota before tackling the rest of the country. We definitely didn’t get as much done as we would have liked though. We’ve been bouncing around pretty quickly since Bogota and even had a night on an overnight bus! Trusted house sitters is amazing and you can get a 20% discount through this link: trustedhousesitters.pxf.io/jordanemily20 Use code: JORDANEMILY20 at checkout! Transport Expenses Things to note: The numbers are different to the 'Expenses by Category' Section. that's because in that section I use the Master sheet which includes small transports like Ubers, Grabs, Taxis and short cheap trains which I thought wouldn't add any value in this section! (I kept the total the same) We didn’t include some big expenses in this section which were mainly just smaller Ubers in North America which added up to a lot. We also rented bikes in Washington! I’m happy with how things are progressing in South America for transport. THe overnight bus was actually pretty comfortable and the seats reclined a lot more than expected. so we’ll be doing it again. Also, there IS technically Uber and DiDi in Colombia but rideshare as a concept is still illegal.. I know, weird. So technically you will be renting a car and a driver than getting a rideshare. All that means really is that if you are typically someone who rides in the back seat, they’ll typically call you up front where it’s much less suspicious. A word on Misc. Normally this section has a significantly smaller number, reserved for things like haircuts or extra bug spray but since we arrived in Colombia it's become apparent that they are mostly operated by Cash so the category today is Mainly consisting of cash withdrawals which we then used for things like taxis, street tacos and other things. I'm sorry i did such a bad job of tracking it this month and aim to do better in June (I've started a note in my phone to track as we go!) Fixed Costs Insurance is expensive but worth it. Safety wing is our insurer of choice, they seemed to offer the most comprehensive cover especially when lots of countries needed specific types of insurance during the pandemic, they were great! - Unforauntely coming to America meant we had to increase our coverage which immediately doubled the price. But it's just something you Need to have. Adobe is the software we used to edit our YouTube videos. Epidemic sound is where we get all our music from, you can get a free trial with this link*: https://share.epidemicsound.com/i1nhpc Income Report Affiliate Income Amazon - Nothing happening here anymore, I think we need a viral video with some good cinematography before this kicks off maybe. Get your Guide - we had 21 people click on our link in May but still no purchases other than our initial success Viator - We had 0 new sessions on Viator in May and no new bookings. Trusted house sitters - We recently set up an affiliate link with trusted house sitters to see if we can share in some of their success. It's something we obviously believe in thoroughly and would be great if we could monetise. From initial set up we've had one person click the link but they are on the free trial. If they move to the full service we then getpaid Licensing Agreements No licensing this month, I'm hoping it wasn't a one time thing! Brand Deals Karma Campervans - I'm putting this here because it makes me feel like a real creator. In reality this was a partial refund for utilising the Karma campervan in our Youtube videos. We recieved a 50% refund of the van rental portion which amounted to $898. Even though it's a refund of last months expense. I'm leaving it here as in income for this month. Hopefully we have many more opportunities like this in the future! YouTube Analytics Another weird month for us. This is actually the HIGHEST income we've ever earnt from YouTube in a month... but it didn't feel like it.. Heres the thing. A lot of our views which were a lotmore than usual were coming from our Labuan Bajo video. Which, while we appreciate it and love any views, we had already completely shifted our focus to the Americas. Every vidoe we had filmed here so far hasn’t performed the way we wanted and that had us a little bit down in the dumps. So even though we were making our best money from a combination of our Indonesian vlogs doing well and our America’s videos having a much higher RPM (Revenue Per Mille or How much we get paid per thousand views) It didn’t really feel like it. In this month we also released our Rocky Mountaineer video which we worked reaaallly hard on. It’s currently doing better than most of our other America’s videos but it hasn’t gone crazy like we had hoped. We are both really trying to ground ourselves and realise that we started this channel to be creative and to keep us on the road for as long as possible. Keeping us on the road requires money and this month was a great one for earning money so let’s just celebrate that! *I just ordered a beer for that exact reason. Summary It's great to be in South America where we can book things the day before we arrive and not end up spending an arm and a leg. It's going to be a significant respite to our budget and hopefully if we take advantage of the more affordable prices we can extend our overall trip by a few months! Expenses: -$2929 Income: +$1844 Change -$1085 Thank you so much if you have read this far! and of course, for watching along! So why record our expenses? We wrestled with the idea of spending all our money on experiences versus knuckling down at work in an attempt to set ourselves up for the future. Ultimately, we decided that houses can burn down, investments can be lost and money can be wasted but memories can never be taken from you. We wanted to solidify those memories by creating videos. But also wanted to show people a realistic view of what a full-time travel lifestyle would cost. When I went looking for something similar they were few and far between, so I wanted to do something for the next person who comes looking. And so, a terrible and laborious google sheet was born. It's since been updated many times and is much easier to manage. All of the data here is from that sheet. Where did the money come from? When we tell people that we are travelling full-time, they tend to have the same few comments. We must have wealthy parents who are paying for everything, or that we have come into inheritance or a lottery win or something else crazy. While we both acknowledge we are very privileged to be able to even earn an income - all the money we have saved up has been solely from working full time. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

that was a LONG 10 hours. We are no strangers to overnight travel on almost every form of transport but the overnight bus has to be one of the least desirable. Tonight we board a flixbus from the union station in Toronto and ride 10 hours overnight right into the heart of New York City. We show the journey and then explain in more detail what the trip was like. We also included the classic seat tour and toilet tour so you know what your getting into if you book onto an overnight flixbus in North America. watch full video here: #flixbus #torontotonewyork #flixbususa #flixbuscanada

🇨🇦 Driving through the Canadian Rockies should be on everyones bucket list! After getting some bad news that the snow and ice would be overwhelming today, we woke to some of the best weather we have had since we've been in the Rockies. We grabbed a coffee and hit the road early to start the Banff to Jasper drive through the rocky mountains on the icefields parkway. It was a super long day filled with some of the best sites, an avalanche and a few animals sprinkled around the place. I like to think we chose the best stops on the icefield parkway. This was one of our favourite days not just in the rocky mountains but in all of Canada and we cannot recommend it highly enough!

🇨🇦 Banff, Alberta, Canada in winter is a total dream come true 🇨🇦 As Australians, Banff is an aboslute rite of passage for us. Whether you are are on a family holiday, retired and looking for adventure or in your early 20's escaping reality (or late 20's haha) Banff and Banff national park is the place everybody thinks of when they think of travel in Canada. We are so excited to finally be here exploring Banff national park and in a campervan no-less! (Another dream of most people) In this video we wake up to intense snowfall at the Lake Louise car park and head down to check out Lake louise in the winter, which was so frozen we could walk on it! We then take the scenic route from lake louise to Banff, find some canadian wildlife and check out the viewpoint in banff called Suprise corner! It was such an amazing time in lake louise in Banff and we are finally gearing up for our most anticipated day of any canadian van lifer. The icefield parkway!
