For the first time we sit down to answer some of the most popular and commonly occurring questions related to our travels and personal life:

How can you afford to travel?
We’ve earned money teaching English in South Korea and we’ve also done freelance travel writing. In addition we earn money through our travel blogs http://nomadicsamuel.com and http://thatbackpacker.com
What’s it like teaching English in Korea?
Overall, it was a a great experience. This is where we met each other in person after knowing one another online through our travel blogs. It was trial be error as we were just thrown into the Korean classroom without any on the job training. However, we got the handle of it quickly and as long as you enjoying teaching children it is something we can recommend to try.
You eat a lot of street food. Have you ever had food poisoning?
Indeed, we have! Personally, I’ve been sick in India, Thailand, Malaysia, Bolivia and Cuba just to name a few places. Oddly enough, we’ve never got sick from eating street food. It has always been from food we got at a restaurant. As a common sense guide, we recommend you eat at street food stalls where the vendor is cooking with high levels of hygiene and where it is busy with lots of locals lined up waiting to be served.
Do you ever get tired of traveling? What are some cities where you could see yourself settling down? What are your favorite travel destinations?
We’ve experienced burning out on the road several times. When we get sick of travel we’ve settled down in Chiang Mai and Berlin for a while. Some of our favorite countries include Jordan, Germany, Finland, Vietnam, Turkey and India.
How did you two meet?
We knew each other through our travel sites, met in person in Korea while teaching English, traveled the world together and recently got married this summer.
What is your biggest travel mishap?
We’re constantly screwing up on the road; however, our biggest mishap by far was having our train derail en route from Bangkok to Chiang Mia while living in Thailand. Other than that we’ve had our shorts split in half, lost our wallets and many other kinds of things.
Please let us know if you have any more questions for us! Anything at all. It can be related to travel, life or just a comment about how weird we are 😉

You guys are so amazing!!! Like your channels
What are your favorite countries for food?
any comment about brampton? (i know atleast one is traffic and driving manners of community) You know in what terms i asked you. honestly dont like brampton, rather than love to live with pure english culture where i currently live.
Hi guys! When are you planning to have a baby?
HE IS FUVKING ULGLY AF
ideal couple 🙂
You guys are so cute :). You complement each other. BTW I just subscribed to your channel. Can't wait to watch all your videos.
I watched your video on Edinburgh and enjoyed it immensely. Nice to hear the Canadian accents 🙂
There are too many nice places to visit in the world and I have visited many in my 50 years. I love Turkey as well Sam and Costa Rica, Iceland and Sweden are also on my list. I decided to emigrate from England to Canada 10 years ago and that allowed me to visit lots of places in North America and Central America. Travel while you are still young and able. That is my advice to anyone. Don't put it off!!!
Oh, I am travelling to Northern England, back to my roots in Durham and Newcastle this summer with my Canadian girlfriend and we are staying over in Edinburgh with it being so close and a beautiful city. A new experience for her. Can't wait. Good luck to you both in your future travels xox
Why does he remind me of a serial killer?
So cute story 😍😍😍
I was also wondering about how such young people like yourselves can afford to travel so much. But actually, the only one that I found strange was when you said you went to South Africa then two years later went to Cape Town. No one does that, except maybe Anthony Bourdain. South Africa is far from Canada and airline tickets are too expensive to be doing so many trips there, especially with all the other places you guys travel to. For most that's a once in a lifetime trip. So the South Africa one was the only one I found strange. But anyways, you guys should visit the Caribbean if you haven't already.
You are missing out the most amazing country in the world, megadiverse, 10k years old culture, the 6th most visited country in 2017, and with the #1 food UNESCO heritage award: Mexico
Check this one channel of many of Mexico: MAXICO MEXICO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-6nY2y6snk

Thanks guys for the wonderful clip. It is totally down to earth and full of laughter. So the questions that I have for you guys as follow:
How do you get started with the YouTube blogs?
Do you guys get sponsored for doing travel and videos? If you do, how do you recruit and receive sponsors?
What so I need to do if I want to teach ESL at another country?
Do I need to apply citizenship for teaching ESL?
Do I need to pay taxes at other country's for all income?
Is it easy to get around with public transportation with a language barrier?
Thank you for liking Finland! <3
I just found you guys a couple of days ago while looking up travel videos for an upcoming trip. Can't stop watching anymore. You're definetely the nicest travel vloggers out there!
You should come to little Luxembourg for a day while travelling around Germany or France! 🙂

What are your ties to Peru? Explain your background? Why do u make a lot of videos about Peru yet is not in your list of best countries you have visited?
U guys are the cutest couple!
I think what you do is pretty cool, and a smart way to enjoy life. I was wondering…if you don't mind me asking…if you could offer any tips about making money blogging, through YouTube, etc..
Where in Canada are you from?
Your train derails in a dark Vietnamese tunnel,…and it still lands on your Top 3 Countries of the World!….WOW, it must be incredible there!
I know this is a long time ago, but love your vids. I taught ESL in Korea for four years. I'm glad it was a launch pad for you guys to see the world.
You guys look so cute together!.

Adorables
What country are you from?
Hola chicos!! Me he visto creo que todos sus videos ya que me divierten mucho y Daniel me recuerda a mi padre y sus valores e historias. Yo quiero aprovechar para hacerles dos preguntas. Una es cómo se llevan Daniel y Samuel en la vida diaria? Y la otra es porque a Samuel no le gusta entrar y disfrutar las Iglesias? Les mando un saludo muy afectuoso desde San Luis, Argentina y les deseo lo mejor a Uds y sus familias. Si vuelven a Argentina y quieren conocer mi provincia serán muy bienvenidos!! Bendiciones!!
You guys are awesome. Greetings from Uruguay. 👋🏻👋🏻
Q How can you afford to travel? A Double income no kids #DINK 😁
Yay to Vietnam 👍
I would NEVER Go to India, my neighbors here are All from India, and they are ill -mannered, hateful, Odiosos, Antipaticos, unfriendly, they Watch You from their Window just to Gossip about you, and the Women are unfriendly, ill-mannered, and Disrespectful. Even their Children are Unfriendly. These people literally think they are Better or SUPERIOR to the Whites and the Latinos. They think We're Peasants compared to Indians.
Holaaaa, no sé lo qué están hablando ahí, pero me encantó encontrar este video tan jóvenes los dos. 👍🙋🇺🇾
This video is such a time capsule, I love it!
Great taste, Sam!
India and Turkey are in my top 3 as well, along with Japan.
