2019 Video Roundup! | Thanks Patrons!! (Patreon)

Welcome to 2020!

2019 was another year full of...videos! 41 "official" videos in fact, totaling  24 hours 41 minutes and 11 seconds of playtime. This doesn't include our discussion videos or anything we may have posted that isn't listed below.

Included in this year's videos was a bit from Europe and a lot from Japan where we filmed in Nagasaki, Kagoshima (volcano!), all four prefectures of Shikoku, and a bunch of stuff from Tokyo. We also started the "Pieces of Japan" series I fully intend to continue next year and started filming in Hawaii at the end of the year.

Here's the list of every video we made or were a part of this year! Scroll down to the bottom for some more little facts.

2019 was also the 10th year of us making "travel" videos on Youtube, and one where our channel earned it's 50,000 subscriber; a number we don't think about often but are shocked when we do. Our very first video was just a simple first & last livestream we made testing the camera on our laptop from Costa Rica on Sept 1, 2009, which happened to be the first day of our round-the-world trip. You can see the video here if you are curious, but it couldn't be less interesting. You'll see why we didn't keep doing live streams on the road: 2009 developing nation internet couldn't do it hahaha.

But that little idea to send videos to our friends spun into what we have here now, and is still alive due to everyone's help here on Patreon. For that we thank you greatly and are excited for 2020 and beyond!  

Did you find any specific videos or series to be your favorite in 2019? I think the Shikoku series in general was my favorite to film and edit, Kyde says the moments that stick out to her are the onsen she went to in Matsuyama, seeing Sakurajima erupt, visiting the Goto islands in Nagasaki and the sand-bath she took in Nagasaki. "That sand bath was the best tourist thing I've ever done in Japan!"

As always, your enthusiasm to explore the world with us is endlessly exciting.
Thank you.
