Yay Rachel!!!! So happy you joined us!! :)

I watch quite a few travel vloggers on KZread but you guys are, by far my favorite, with Kara and Nate being my second fave. I always wondered about this kind of breakdown and appreciate it and the hard work you guys put in with the narrative and editing. While a video may only last 20-30 minutes, the hours of editing are innumerable. I can't wait to see how this year progresses for you both! Say "Hi" to Deadpan Ludvig for me. 😁

Wow thank you Robin! Kara and Nate are my favourite KZreadrs and the reason I got into this in the first place (and dragged Ludvig along, haha). I am so happy you are enjoying our videos - thanks so much for joining us! Super happy you appreciated the behind the scenes!

Absolutely love you guys. Could watch you sleep 😂 Congratulations! Hope the next year is 1000 times better 🤗

Congratulations on your great journey so far! Since I came across to your channel couple of months ago, you guys immediately became one of my favourites and I've since watched almost all of your videos. Chloé, your enthusiasm on things is delightful to watch and makes me smile, and as a fellow Nordic (Finnish), Ludvig's deadpan presentation and humour are absolutely hilarious! Truly think more people should find your channel, as every view and subscriber is well deserved. Can't wait what you're coming up next! Ps. Congrats on your wedding!!

Haha thank you Larisa! It’s been awesome to read all of your lovely comments throughout the journey! So happy to hear you’ve dragged your husband into the shenanigans 🤣

This was such an interesting video, thanks for making it. I started making videos about some fairly similar content (flights, cruises, trains) but different style to you a few months ago and although I’m not yet monetised my monthly viewer stats are very similar to what you were getting in for the first couple of months you covered in this video, so interesting to see how much that could potentially earn if I do get monetised. My big goal at the moment would be to be able to earn enough to pay for at least one of my trips each year and that now feels a bit more attainable! Found your channel through this video and have now been binge watching quite a few of your videos! Keep up the great work!

Hallo Chloe and Ludvig. I have been enjoying your travel videos very much. The presentation and editing are delightfully seamless and fast paced. Thank you. I have some questions that perhaps your other subscribers might look forward to learning more about: 1) You must do considerable research before a trip to prepare for the best and most interesting coverage. Over the course of your varied experiences, what have you found to be the most effective ways to study the route and its points of interest? 2) When I travel, I always have trouble with the problem of electric converters and pluggy wirey things for my electronic stuff. Have you and Ludvig found a favourite gadget to recharge devices? 3) There is a popular subject on youtube called an EDC (every day carry) kit. I learned that a good pair of tweezers and earplugs are essential when traveling. What have you learned to always bring with you? 4) Your vids are SO exceptionally polished productions (what a relief from most of youtube!), Do you and your sweetheart have professional media experience? What are your top 3 guidelines for making an A+ quality scene? Thank you again for the exceptional quality and such delightful content. -- Morfydd J.

Helloooo! Thank you so much for your lovely words!! This was so nice to receive. Love these questions... 1. I usually do the majority of my research when editing - I love to learn as much as possible when writing my scripts for voiceovers. I find this is the best way for me to learn :) I use google/ chatgpt for facts! 2. We haven't found a particular gadget, but we do have a great power bank that keeps us charged in sticky situations. 3. That's so cool - I haven't heard of EDC. I guess ours would be ear plugs, bandaids, lip balm and a mini hand cream haha. 4. This is so wonderful to read, and I'm genuinely amazed that our audience thinks this as I have no experience in media or editing. I just began teaching myself a few years ago, and still to this day just use iMovie (hoping to upgrade soon). I have a background in acting/performing so that definitely helps with on camera presence. I think my main focuses when creating a video, is to 'show not say' by adding lots of broll/voiceovers, for an engaging clip. My favourite part of the process would be searching for awesome music for our scenes :)

Wow!!! Congratulations! You guys are amazing!

The sleeper train videos from San Fran to NY are what even made me aware of this channel. Probably because I'm from the US, they were my favorites too, because it was a chance to see the sights of those train rides, even if just in the video. The Zephyr is def on my wish list.
