We owe much of what we know to others we follow on YouTube. If you are like us and watch a lot of YouTube, make sure to like and subscribe to your favorite creators so the algorithm shares them to even more viewers.

Retirement Travelers: John and Bev are retirees who started traveling the US full time in an AirStream during COVID, and the traveling the world. If you want to learn about full time travel or any of the over 100 countries they’ve visited, check them out.

Grounded Life Retirement Travel: Rob and Allie were the folks that turned us on to the IHG points world, which paid for our entire trip to Japan, including two free nights in Osaka. They have other channels on topics such as cruising and travel in general.

Away Together with Nik and Allie: We’ve picked up a lot of travel swag based on Nik and Allie’s recommendations, and their video on Global Entry got us moving and made our airport trips slick and easy. It was also a sale on their website that got us our first year of Daily Drop Pro at half price. They recently started Away Together Travel Rewards, a channel dedicated to points and miles.

Daily Drop: The Daily Drop website is an incredible tool for finding great fares and maximizing your points. The YouTube channel goes beyond that, with travel ideas, credit card hacks and so much more.

Portable Professional: Megan Gougeon prepares a highly focused weekly travel video. The focus includes topics as focused as how to act on an airplane, how to prepare for extended flights, or what you need to know about ETA, ETIAS, or the Schengen Zone.

The Professional Hobo: Nora Dunn has been quiet lately, but her library includes important information on all facets of travel, including safety and travel insurance.

Brian and Carrie: Brian and Carrie have changed up their travel style recently, transitioning from full time slow travel to a more medium speed travel. We’ve gptten interesting info on lenghty cruises and some slow travel pointers… but we are not there yet.

DFBGuide (Disney Food Blog): As a school administrator and owner of a Disney Time Share, Vinny has needed up-to-date Disney information. DFB has maps, guides, and news that can help any Disney traveler be better prepared for next week, next month, or next year.

Finding Gina Marie: Judy and Kevin are full-time travelers who have some very honest takes on their travels as well as their relationships. A recent video on staying healthy while traveling really struck a chord with us.

Frequent Miler: We travel way below the level the Frequent Milers are traveling, but the information on points and miles has frequently guided us to making choices on how to move forward. We don’t always agree (specifically about IHG) but we still find value here.

Maurice Moves: When we were headed to Japan, we found Maurice Moves. We’ve since taken a lot of his advice on EDC, packing light, and we bought two of his Flight Fold wallets for future travel.

Kensho Quest: George and Heidi have 20 years experience visiting Japan and 16 years as digital nomads. Their advice on Japan, packing light and traveling in general has been a terrific resource for us.

Ninja Monkey Guy: When we were preparing for our Japan adventure, we needed some help with our Japanese. DuoLingo is great but for Japanese it’s a little short on practical vocabulary. Ninja Monkey had 16 phrases that really set us up for success and lots of other great info for Japan touring.

Piqtour Japan: Abbie is a photographer and a tour guide who answered many of our very narrow but important Japan questions and gave us our first look at the Red Brick Warehouse in Yokohama, showing us the Wagyu Beef we tried at Shogun Burger.
