What has made this conversion possible is the fact that we had just purchased a "smart tv" with internet access. Now YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime have filled the void left by the hundreds of cable channels...most of which we never watched anyway.
YouTube (which at one time I thought was mainly cute cat videos) has proven to be my favorite form of on-screen entertainment. I have discovered the world of travel vlogs and anxiously await new videos, which in the YouTube world is almost daily! How great is that!! I never realized that people travel full time and actually record everything they do on their vlogs! (Vlog = video+blog)
Watching all of these great vlogs gave me the inspiration to try and do not only still photographs from our travels, but also a little bit of video as well. The professional travel vloggers create and edit multiple videos a week, but if you notice the date on this post, you can see it has taken me over a month just to complete ONE measly video from our cruise. So...I have no aspirations of making a career out of travel vlogging, but thought perhaps you might enjoy seeing the "movie version" of our first Holland America cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Click below...
Kara and Nate - A cute husband and wife team with a goal of traveling to 100 countries by 2019.
The Way Away - Another full-time traveling couple, husband and wife (Josh & Ashley Brown)
RAN Sailing - A Swedish couple traveling around the world in their sailboat.
Gone with the Wynns - This couple began their journey in an RV and now sail around the world in their catamaran.
Vagabrothers - Two full-time traveling brothers who give lots of advice and tips. The images in their videos are simply stunning.
Check these out. I'm sure you will agree that the content on these vlogs puts the Travel Channel to shame!
