also what's that trophy in the background?
Travel is stressful, and I am a intense pre planner. Analretentive my wife might say. Do you prebook some venues, how do you decide which venues to book ahead. Thank you for sharing!
So do you cancel the credit cards after you get the points and apply for new credits? Also for that adversely affect your credit score?
Loved watching this. Such a great conversation and thanks for the honesty. Feels really authentic and as you said that makes for great content.
The way Josh looks at Lisa <3
I absolutely loved this podcast. You two are the most awesome, real, down to earth couple and super fun to watch. I think you guys are the best❤
Love you guys! Keep the Travel Thursday 😍
Been a long term follower and just love your travel content ❤
Do you cancel the cards after getting the initial bonus?
I think the person this type of cruise attracts are elderly with no family commitments or widowed. Cheaper than a retirement village.
thanks so much for discussing credit cards, im so interested in them right now cos i wanna go europe next year!
On a cruise for a whole year is a terrible idea. You are stuck on a giant, dirty boat. It's no surprise that contagious disease is common on these cruises. Your health should be the top priority, not saving a few bucks.
Hey guys what is your favorite city that you have visited?
Don’t watch your first videos?!? 😂😂
Now I gotta watch them
Love you guys, relatively new to the channel and just cannot stop watching. You are both so genuine and real which seems to be lacking with the most popular vloggers at the moment. I hope you can do this for as long as you can and I hope much success and more wealth comes your way, as you totally deserve it! Am sure you will have substantially more viewers soon, as you and your amazing videos are just sooo great( no pretence just real and honest).
if i could only one credit card that would be the Capital One VentureX.
In the long term, nobody can be a travel content creator for years. Enjoy present time.
Hi Lisa & Josh! Congrats on surpassing 50K subscribers on YouTube. My question is where is home base for you guys these days?
This was a great watch 👍
My wife and I have really enjoyed your videos and we have been using them for advice too! Keep up the good work!
