  • @jourdanwolf
    @jourdanwolf Месяц назад +2

    Hey! I’ve just started watching you guys two days ago and can’t stop 😂😂
    Honestly you two are ridiculously inspirational!! I’ve always had a wanderlust (in my mid 20’s) and you are so awesome in how you consistently consider those with potentially lower budgets, love that component to how you present things, and also how you seem to really respect each and every culture you come across by learning some of the language.
    Is there any advice you’d have for getting over the anxieties of travel? I imagine prepping and research is one thing but is there anything else you’d suggest?
    Also this is a generic question, but what do you feel is your dream destination as a couple so far?

    • @JayandKarolina
      @JayandKarolina  Месяц назад

      Hey! I love that haha 😂
      Especially when we started we were very cautious about being on a budget because we had no idea if this was going to work haha. As we grow our budget is becoming bigger but still we are frugal and so that will probably always be apart of our content. However we try to spend more on accomodation for rest and recovery because staying in a place for £11 a night and being attacked by mosquitos is no fun for 10 nights straight 😂
      If you are in your 20s or even early 30s stay in hostels so you can meet other travellers who are also solo - this is the best way to travel when you are young and I kind of miss that. You meet great people and can join them on their adventures - try not to book more than a few days in advance so you are flexible. Lastly just go for it because you have to start somewhere and it will be nerve racking initially but as soon as you meet people and start travelling together it’s life changing!
      I don’t have a dream destination but Karolina would probably say Japan. For me it’s having amazing experiences that you wouldn’t usually know about or hear of - so we’re going to try and do more of this for content in the future :)

    Bonour aux France. I think you speak very well togeather , I have been to south korea and Japan and singapour. Lots od amzing places I was there in 2016, I also did NZ and Australia .becouse the cost of flights was much lower becouse I was allrady in the region. I would say out of all of them Japan was the best. When you go to Australia they have a special lane for UK and Irish pasport holders When you land,. I went to Brisbrane and the gold coast. It was like UK but in the Sun you can feel the simulatlies between the counteries. Uk and Australia. You may not want to come home afterwards, I did what you are doing now but back in the 90s. The book lonley planet was started by a back packers collective. Before the internet, it was little information books and people wrote down and shared there experince and all this information was made into books,
    THe childern question have childern as early as possible dont plan a life into your schedual it doesnt work. If you have childern you can allways travel the bristish isles. My 2 daughters are like my sisters as I had them very young first at 19 and other one when 23. So the age of what Karolina is now 27 imagine having 2 girls around you age 8 and 5, I was a single farther I still worked I was a teacher grandparents helped out, we got through. I am telling you now as a wise old man. As when I was 30 my daughters where 11 and 7, and I was a fit yuung man and we did travel in the school summer hoilday. we went to so many countiers. And as a teacher I was able to home school them. Love your experinces and your channel, ( English not to good today type quick )

    Watched the whole video-lovely to see that you both have such a strong relationship. It's true that if your relationship can withstand the challenges of travel, it's a very good sign of longevity. I have very similar mind-set to Karolina about spending and it really does help you a lot. Because even cheap countries can get really expensive quickly. Awesome video to get to know you guys a bit more :)

      Yeah, spending what you feel like but not wasting your money on unnecessary stuff really allows you to live fully not missing out on the priorities ❤ I’m glad you’re thinking the same!

    Recently subscribed, really enjoying your channel. A small word about marriage and children…..never never feel pressured to do either. If you get married, and if you choose to have children or not have children, this is your choice nobody else’s. Karolina, you are absolutely correct, children change everything. If you don’t want children then you should not feel bad about it. Jay, not all women desire to have children, regardless of age. You both will make a decision that is right for you, not for friends not for family not for viewers. Anyway, love your work 🙋🏼‍♀️🤗

      Thank you! If you met us in person I'd like to think we're exactly the same :)

      Yes 😍 We’ve changed the name and the profile picture yesterday! I wasn’t sure a year ago how I’ll manage with the camera presence but since we’ve been enjoying our trips and are planning on continuing our full-time travels, we thought it would be a nice move forward ❤️

      My husband & I asked the same question 😂 just not online. Didnt want to sound rude. So happy Karolina has been added!!
