Funny about the comments about no arguments on your first trip, internationally. My wife and I travel internationally once a year. I travel a lot for work, so maneuvering around the airport is more natural for me. She gets excited (anxiety) with the airport hectic. I always try to stay calm. Love slow travel. Planning to start our slow travel journey in Europe with our dog after our youngest starts college in 3 years. Maybe and hopefully, we will run into each other.

Great video, thanks so much. One statement got my attention. 'In case you have an emergency at home, and you need to hop on a plane, make sure, that you have a little pool of money set aside.' Let me add: 'Make sure that you have a little pool of miles/points set aside.' Whereas last minute one ways paid with money can be outrageously expensive, award tickets can be available last minute at a very decent rate. And, it's a great hobby, actually my only hobby.

I loved going to Peru as my first South America trip - it actually ties as my favourite spot with Istanbul. It was extremely affordable, I felt very safe as a solo female traveler, the people are so warm and welcoming, there are a variety of cultures and ecosystems, and there is so much to learn about the knowledges and histories of the people indigenous to each area. I loved staying in Cusco, and I think you would both love it. Lima was a very clean city for a capital. And honestly, I loved my stay in the Peruvian Amazon and can’t wait to go back. Peru was so much more than just the touristy areas like Machu Picchu - there is so much to explore. And the food was pretty good with unique cuisines and flavour profiles.

We are not married and have traveled the world extensively over the last 23 years. We have been in dirt-floor airport terminals waiting for hours in the South Pacific etc and find that the most important factor in successful travel is being happy with the person sitting next to you and enjoying all the conversations you have not had with them yet. Unless you edit those portions out you guys seem to have it locked.

Great seeing you guys back! Hope you had a great holiday. I'm glad that you're considering Buenos Aires. It's a really great city. I was there in December 2008 and got an apartment for part of the time that I was there. I had planned to be there in summer 2009, as I was totally booked back to Bangkok for the annual Dec/Jan trip, but at the last minute, the Yellow Shirts protested and closed down the international airport. So, I had to shift gears really fast and went to Buenos Aires instead. Being flexible is a key to travel. I also hope that you go to Brazil. It's a very interesting and diverse country.

Hi Brian and Carrie, we happened upon your Alicante video a few weeks ago and ever since, each location we researched for future travels your videos have popped up! You seem to be our travel twins. Thank for your fun and informative videos, this one in particular is so honest and covers so many important questions, giving genuine and meaningful answers. We wish you both the very best and we are very grateful to have found your channel! Warm regards, Andy and Carrie

Start to finish great video... Agree 98 percent....lol. We found that being home is more stressful... Self inflicted trying to race around seeing everyone and making sure no one has hurt feelings.. We need to get better at planning a few extra weeks for a home visit... We're heading out in six days until July.... If you do South America next fall maybe we'll link up..... Sharing your video on FB as many people all us all these questions.... Safe travels, Merry Christmas and happy New year.. Larry and Minnie

I found cheap tickets to Buenos Aires from Miami on Argentinian Air. We are doing the cruise from BA to Santiago in February. Happy Holidays and safe travels.

We may be doing something similar in September. We actually looked at that cruise and found it very intriguing! Have fun and safe travels! Cheers!🍻

Thanks a lot for all your information - love your videos! 😊. I think you are great at filming and editing! I do it at work and like it a lot🎬. Where have you felt most welcome? Country, city etc? Has it been easy to make friends among locals? I personally think it is interesting to see how people live where we travel. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪// Maud.

Great vid! Any plans to travel Egypt?

@BrianandCarrie 5 ай бұрын

Yes, at some point we will make our way to Egypt. There are so many places that we want to explore and Egypt is one of them. We are looking at South America and Africa as well. Thank you for watching our channel! Cheers!!🍻

It amazes me on how similar our lives are. We are the same age as you guys and we are traveling to many of the same places. We live on the other side of the mountains from Bellingham and we are flying out of SeaTac Monday for 3 months traveling to Thailand and Vietnam then home for a few weeks and then traveling for 6 months. I can’t wait to meet you two one day and share a beer or a glass of wine! Keep up the great work. Merry Xmas and have a great new year!

Thank you for continuing to inspire my wife and I to take on full time travel. Love the interaction between you both. BTW - love your response Brian about conflict, does it change your mind about travel.... "No" 🙂

We've been following you for a long time. We are also from the PNW ( Seattle ). Sold everything in August 2020. Into our 4th year now. We've decided to settle in Mexico for 6 Months as our base and continue our travels from there. You two are awesome! We loved Medellin, Columbia ( Laureles neighborhood) and Cuenca and Olon Ecuador ( before the problems ). Thanks for all that you do. So great!!!!!!

@BrianandCarrie 5 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! We are so excited to make it to Mexico and explore - we've planned it a few times, but then plans change. Maybe in the Fall ☺. Also, great to hear about Columbia, we've heard a few recommendations for Medellin recently. We will look more into that area. Happy and Safe continued travels. Cheers!!

I love the "how to pay fir costs part". My husband and I do the same. We are a "mature" aged couple. (I'm 60, he's 53.) We've only been married 6 months. We started out splitting costs that way when we were dating and traveling together. It's worked for us for years. He's used to getting an email with his bill! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much ❤️. I believe we cover that in the 2nd part, if not let us know and we'll give you an answer of our thoughts.

I highly recommend Easter Island if you're considering South America - maybe to hit as part of a cruise. I stayed for a week and loved it - but probably don't need much more time than that to see everything.

@BrianandCarrie 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for the recommendation! We have done some research on South America but no real planning yet. Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!🍻

I can recommend Mar del Plata in Argentina, about 5 hours from BA by bus. It’s a very pleasant seaside city with a great promenade. Bariloche is also beautiful and there are many smaller cute mountain towns close by to explore. I haven’t been to Mendoza yet, but I’ve heard it’s also great and very relaxed compared to BA.

Your money separation makes perfect sense. That was good information for a couple traveling. I really enjoy your videos. Our life doesn’t allow travel the way you do, so I do it through you guys. Thanks for bringing me along and maybe the future will allow us to do it. We spent a month in France and loved doing travel that way.

When you travel it shows approximately when you travel but it would be better when watching for us if you can tell us the month that you travel so helpful for us weather wise. Thanks keep up the great work!

Hey Carrie and Brian, love the channel and your insightful/honest vlogs. I’m similar age/situation as you both,and intend to break free and travel in 2024. I’m curious if you think long-term traveling will be easier or more difficult being that I’m single? Cheers from NY!✌🏻😃

@BrianandCarrie 5 ай бұрын

We don't think it would be more difficult but may be more expensive. We split the cost of small accommodations. There are really nice hostels if that is something that you could do. Thank you for watching and safe travels!! Cheers!!🍻
