    This was one of the BEST videos of an adventure I have seen. Thoroughly enjoyed everyone of them. Highly recommend it. Down to earth and good quality. Thanks so much for sharing. And did I mention - very inspirational.

    Good on you guys for making the jump! I think the hardest part of committing to travel is actually doing it. A lot of people will say they're going to do it - that's easy. But to actually pack everything up and hit the road takes a lot. Well done mate :) you'll be so grateful to yourself for filming all of it as well. Keep up the good work

    Hi Juba, i have watched all your uploaded videos and they are truly exceptional. Love the mix of travel, people, wildlife, nature and incident. Your narration is great, feels like we get to know you both a bit. The programmes brought back so many memories, in 1998 age 25 my girlfriend (now wife) and i drove a 4th hand land rover 110 (1988, petrol) from Kampala, Ug to Cape Town and stayed in many of the same places (plus Mozambique and Zim). It was so awesome to feel on the road again and see those wonderful places in your video films. I have only 135mm slr film pics as a memory. Great stuff and good luck with your creative contnent business. Mark, now nr London, England.
    Ps one piece of happy feedback if you’re interested? It was all so great but i struggled with the music which seemed quite repetitive and frequent. Everyone is different and i am probably showing my age. Where you just had natural sound i felt it was much more atmospheric and real.

    Just started watching your channel, what an awesome first episode. Looking forward to following your journey! Just a little critique - I'm hard of hearing (Cochlear Implant) and struggled to hear you talking over the background music, hope it improves (softer) in future episodes...

    Wow guys, congrats, & huge respect! Something we also want to do, but petrified of letting go of life as we know it, and of course all those "what if" situations. How did you plan to earn money for your year, or are you travelling on proceeds of house/savings etc? Looking forward to follow your adventure with you!

    • @JubasJourney
      @JubasJourney  5 лет назад +5

      Hi Christine. You are asking all the questions we asked a couple of years ago. To be honest right now I cannot even remember all the many "what if" situations, except one. “What if I die tomorrow....” We saved the money to do this trip, but that was not the difficult part. The difficult part was making the decision to just do it. That simple decision changed everything.
      We set up a budget and saved in the beginning of every month, we cut down on luxuries such as magazines, TV subscriptions, dining out and I have not bought new clothes in 4 years. Everything will not change overnight, all good things take time, it took us more than 3 years to achieve this. Not everyone’s dreams are the same, but the fear of NOT pursuing the dream should be greater than the fear of pursuing the dream.

      @@JubasJourney Gosh, 4 years in the making! So nice to see this honest feedback. Not everyone discloses what it took prior to their travels. And often time you're left thinking that they just packed up and went. This really puts things in perspective too. This is great advice, and I love and totally agree with your sentiment about just deciding to pursue the dream! Regret is something we don't want to have later in life, and if not now, when?! All the best of luck guys - safe travels!

    when you sleep in the middle of the dessert and find out the damn thing will not start up the next morning , what are your emergency plans ?

    • @JubasJourney
      @JubasJourney  4 года назад +1

      Walk to the nearest place to find help. When we had a flat near Verneukpan, we were lucky and I only walked 1km to the nearest farm to find help. In some places you might not be that lucky. All part of the adventure, or take a satellite phone.
