Thanks for reading and welcoming us to Steemit! It's awesome to meet you.
This is us, we're Dane & Stacey:
Who We Are:
As the title of this #intrduceyourself mentions, not only are we from the home of Lord of the Rings and the All Blacks but we Travel Full Time, work online and share our adventures on YouTube.
We don't just want to shamelessly plug our links, we'd like to explain why we're a little different to most and how we try and add more value for our viewers and audience. Unlike some travel vloggers we don't just spend 1 day running around a city, see 2% of it and then share a video about how amazing the city is. (OK we some times do that as well, that is travel, but we like to add value and show a different side of travel when we can)
What We Do:
Instead, we stay for a few months, settle into an apartment or villa, live like a local and go deeper into the community and share the experience with videos like these:
- Apartment hunting videos to show you monthly costs, size and facilities of traveling/living overseas - you'll be surprised:
- Once we find our apartment we share the move in experience and talk numbers, how we found it etc:
- After living there for a few months it's time to travel somewhere else, we then open our pockets and show you exactly how much we spent to live there split by category. Here is our 'How much does it cost to live in Thailand' video, and trust us it's cheaper than you think to live this way!
- We're more educated to then go Hunting out the best local cuisine, or sharing local dishes and restaurants you need to visit that aren't TripAdvisor'ed (thats not a word.)
- Sure, we do awesome activities as well like Zip Lining, visit weird Theme Parks and swim with Whale Sharks as well though.
- Hell, we even shared How To Workout and Travel as well because we were asked about it so frequently.
So What Next:
Our next post will be about the cost of living in Vietnam, it will probably shock you! We'll continue to travel and share more of that information with you guys here, this community seems so friendly, welcoming and full of great advice and we want to be part of it.
The main question we get asked across our social channels is 'how we're able to travel full time' and understandably so. Truth is, it's not that tricky, you just need to know the things you don't know yet. We figured it all out ourselves, sold all of our material stuff to make it happen and want to share that with others - we're 130+ pages into writing it all down in one document full of resources and advice. It makes sense to pick some of that content we already have and share here with you guys about travel and working online!
Where Next:
Leaving Vietnam next week we'll be doing a spot of traditional travel vlogging through Malaysia, and then setting up in the Philippines to get more of these views in our life daily:
Closing:
Hhhm, what goes here. We suppose for starters you're more than welcome to ask any questions below! It's hard to get that across in an article, but we really do love helping others travel and achieve their goals... in a way we share our life of travel so others can live vicariously and have the guts to make change in their own life. We're not massive in terms of numbers, but we're super passionate about creating content and improving our art and that won't stop anytime soon.
Also - let us know the best ways to integrate into this community, we probably need to start hunting out other content and following creators first?
Hope to talk to you soon,
Dane & Stacey
