There are many ways to set up cameras in the car when you're vlogging on the road and this is the best camera setup I found that works for me using 4 GoPros, including the GoPro HERO10, and the RODE Wireless GO II Mics. I also show you how to control the GoPros using the GoPro App.

We have taken many road trips this year including two cross-country road trips from Florida to California and back, so we have become experts when it comes to preparing and packing for road trips. Before going on road trips, you need to prepare properly (especially for long road trips) and it’s best to pack efficiently so it’s easy to find things as you are moving along day to day.

The coronavirus is on everyone's minds and it's spreading fast. We finally made the decision to halt all of our travel plans for the year. One of our trips to Grand Cayman was easy to change but the other trip to Turkey was a little more complicated.

On my summer trip to Prague, my luggage was lost. Out of all my travels, this was the very first time my luggage did not arrive at my destination. I wasn’t exactly sure what my next steps were or how I should handle the situation but I figured it out along the way. Now I am more prepared for this type of dilemma and hope this guide helps out those who have or will be in similar situations.

We both pack quite a bit of similar items in our carry-on bag, but we also pack items that the other doesn’t. We thought we’d break down our items with our first list containing the essentials we both pack and then we’ll go into items that are unique to us individually.

For the past couple of years World Nomads has been our go-to insurance company, but on our most recent trip to London we purchased our travel medical insurance from SafetyWing.

I used to dread flying to Japan to see my family because that meant being stuck on a plane for at least 14 hours. Now, I don’t mind it so much. These are the steps I take and things I bring with me to survive a long international flight.

I booked my recent flight to Japan with JAL and sat in the Premium Economy Class for the first time. The seats were spacious and comfy, but the in-flight meal is what really blew me away. 

I will admit that I used to never purchase traveler's insurance. It's always an option when purchasing a ticket, but I never bought it. So what changed my views on finally caving into purchasing traveler's insurance? 

When you travel, how do you pick your destination? For us, it's a number of different reasons. We tend to pick our destinations based on what we like: climate, food, activities, etc. But lately, we have been exploring the idea of Ancestry Tourism.  

When I start packing my suitcase, one of the things I think about is whether or not to pack my gym gear.

We love staying in hotels, but we also love Airbnb because they give you extra options like space, charm and extra travel tips from hosts. We've never had a bad experience renting a home and here are our top reasons why we love Airbnb:

We've both had our passports before we could walk or talk and have never encountered any issues with them. Recently, a friend of ours was denied entry to her destination because her passport was going to expire. That's right, it wasn't expired, yet she wasn't allowed in the country.
