Our infinity war is just around the corner- it’ll make sense real soon. 🤪

We have taken off on our boat twice so totally understand the prep process and also the telling people what you will be doing - lots of thinking, sorting, and then re-thinking and re-sorting!

Keep Tripping along! I believe in you three!

The struggle is real! I had to give you guys props after seeing all the work you've gone through. Right now, I'm working to start my own world traveling expedition. And just like you did, I'm trying to set up work that can go with me. Seeing all you're hard work - the months of prep, having to tell family and friends, and learning to use WordPress(seriously, how can it be so hard?) - that resonated with me. It's so tough to spend your extra time working, planning, and saving. It's a sacrifice to live for your dream, but it's amazing to see you do it. Your story really picked me up, and I love how excited you two are about traveling. Have fun with your new adventure, and here's hoping mine will start soon!

Dude- we're here and we're pulling for you. It's a hell of a grind and it helped a ton to have each other. All I can say to help is that it's been baby steps the entire time. My first Amazon products were laughable and I basically sold at cost. Fin spent a ton of time with different clients grinding it out to get her consulting off the ground. Then, on top of that, we worked on our KZread channel which barely got any views and the blog that only my mom ever looked at. We didn't do anything special- we just refused to give up and we continued to grind. We skipped nights out with friends, a lot of really fun weekends/parties, and basically gave up a year of leisure time- I even sold my xbox so I wouldn't be distracted! Sitting here now- it's worth it. Hell- Getting to walk in and quit my job made it all worth it- I guess this is gravy then. Whatever your plan is- keep going. If you go full throttle on something and it doesn't work, don't be afraid to pivot either!

TIM and FIN Thank you for the advice! Hearing what you went through really does make it seem possible. And I've definitely faced those same struggles. Lol, I think my grandpa was the only one reading my blog for a couple months. And, since I am also trying to freelance write, who knows how many unanswered emails I've sent. Staying distraction-free is hard too. Most people don't have a life-altering plan that they're working on everyday. Like you said in the video, "how often do you talk to your friends and ask: 'what's your two-year plan?'" Plus, that "why would you pick up and leave" response doesn't do much to help things. As I said though, it's inspiring to see two people who did it! You've obviously developed a major following, and gotten your business running. Your video quality is impressive too! I've been self-learning photography for blogging purposes, and I know it takes serious work to turn out a high-quality product like that. So keep going, because it's super-exciting to see! I look forward to watching your adventure unfold.

YES! Super excited for this series!!!!!

Great!! Looking forward to this!!

So excited for this series!!!

Good luck guys looking forward to your road trip! Keep living the dream!

YAY! So excited that you guys are doing this! Can't wait to see your adventure unfold :)

I'm excited for your up coming trip.

Good Luck I'm rooting for your both!! ...... You can do it!

I can report back that after a few weeks in the RV it just keeps getting better. It's so COMFORTABLE. Seems silly, but its kind of just like living in a small apartment-that you take with you everywhere.

Hi, usually don't have time to comment your efforts but you do it so nice! Thanks for bringing your experience to the screen. Surely they will flow out of the screen for others to do alike :D Enjoy your trip adventure!!

I just subscribed I LOVE watching you guys omg your inspiring 😍😍😍

Hello, my fiancee and I came across you guys after planning our NZ trip! thanks for all the info and advice, it has been super valuable!

Hey Miriam- Thanks for checking out the NZ videos. Hope we helped a little bit- I think we usually take a few minutes to talk about what we would have done differently once in a while. Thanks for all of the kind words and if there are ever any troubles or comments on our gear you can always hit us up at hello@trippedtravelgear.com where I can help you out. Your purchase also helps put gas in the RV tank- I'll remember this comment when we're hightailing through the Yukon!

Best of luck guys. If you come to El Salvador, I'll be glad to give you some tips.

First and foremost, i am currently in Germany for work. Started watching your videos because i was looking for a Europe Backpacking trip idea. Looking to surprise my wife as our final amd youngest son will be off to college in 2019. ANYWAY - long story just to say you guys are great. Now im hooked and binge watching all things Tripped - Thanks! I was curious what your honest opinion of amazon store is? I was thinking of jumping in on that myself. Would you recommend it to a family member lets say? God luck and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do your research about mexico and crssing in south America. Tons of not so good people and DRUG smugglers - Americans are not very well liked down there right now.... Just research and be careful...God Bless....

Amazon has changed our lives. It also has been a TON of work....and stress lately. Amazon suddenly has a rep like its a MLM if you want to private label. Its nothing like that. On my own, I have to source good product, get it competitively and import it, and make sure its better than what other people are selling. In addition, there is all the tech/SEO/keyword side of things. I LOVE that we're making our own gear but its a continuous uphill climb. Just when we get one thing settled another problem/situation will arise. It's far from the "set it and forget it" that a lot of youtube "amazon gurus" say it is. I've told other people this- if you have any interest at all check out the amazing seller podcast 5 step roadmap to launching a product. Scott is not a cheesy "Make a billion dollars in a week guy". He knows what hes talking about and has a rich catalog of podcast that will help you get started faster.

TIM and FIN i feel as though a Hollywood star just wrote me an email :) LOL. I truly appreciate the quick yet detailed response. Im not afraid of work and I consider myself a little more tech savvy than your regular Joe - however you are right. Too many "gurus" out there are portraying it to be easy - where it looks a little overwhelming. It even seems as it can take a team of two (like you awesome guys) to make it work. I will continue to do my research. Last note you two ARE AWESOME! And please please please be careful when yo go through mexico and into south america. That area is NOTHING like what you have traveled so far. And a beatiful blond is something that can be very dangerous. So just pray about it before you go down there and do your due diligence. God bless guys....

I'm eventually going to put out an Amazon related video in regards to how we self finance our travels- I'll probably have to cheese up the thumbnail so its absolutely atrocious and refer to myself as a guru the entire time. I wish you best of luck on your amazon journey. Best thing I ever sank time into. As for Mexico and South America? There are places to stick to and there are places you don't go. There are an insane amount of people doing the PanAm these days and we're building our network up of people to get info from and places to go. We're also crazy excited because Fin speaks fluent spanish so things are going to be more "accessible" than ever as far as getting involved on a local level and being less of a tourist. I have to start with the Duolingo really soon here though...

I'm looking to buy an RV. Your reno videos are so inspiring. What length is your RV, so i can have an idea? Thank you! 😊

Where are your packing cubes made?

It's a shame that amazon.co.uk wont sell across water, since many many other items are.. Still no shipping to sweden... so no compression cubes for the nordic countries..

They totally mislabeled this video.... There was no description of how they afford to travel full-time

I just found your channel, I’ve watched out of order but they’re soo good, I’m jumping around. Please help! he sells their products on Amazon- can he earn enough to finance these awesome adventures? On what does her consulting business consult?

@timandfin

5 жыл бұрын

Fin does HR consulting based on a long career of HR tech implementation. I (Tim) started working on Amazon about two years ago putting every shred of my spare time after work into it. I started learning about Amazon with a $500 order through Alibaba and over the past year its grown into something that will support both of us in 2019. The amount of time that I put into it is more than a full time job but its something I'm really passionate about.

Almost 25000 views of this KZread video as I type. If they have this monetized that would be $25 from KZread ($! per thousand views) in just one year!

Im of the opinion that your rv is to big for travel into south america. Getting enough fuel will be a potential problem. Look into it more before you cross the Mexican border. Good luck. Prepare a massive budget, as traveling in an rv is extremely expensive.
