Did we miss anything? 🙊

[@danmailata]

Hi Al and Deb, thank you for the videos and love your work. We are going to Bali in December and you mentioned getting a SIM card and just wandering if there was one you would recommend please?

[@robbietheroadpilot8044]

Congrats Al & Deb on your one year and can I say it’s so refreshing to find a couple of “Real” creators. My wife and I love your down to earth content especially on Bali we are heading back in October and getting the taste again by watching your videos. Don’t change a thing you’re doing an amazing job. Cheers Robbie

[@alandeb]

Thanks so much Robbie! Where are you staying in Bali? We head back in November and I'm thinking we might do a few days at Komodo Island this time. Appreciate you both watching our channel! 😍💕

[@lynnjarman7330]

Thanks Al & Deb for keeping it all so real... just finishing watching this and we would absolutely love to know how the backend of KZbin works. We've subscribed for many months, watch all of your videos (as non cruisers, but Bali lovers) and really appreciate your authenticity. You guys are refreshing because you are not all about "insta" you or about advising "how to retire & travel"....you are just being you & we love you guys. Keep 'em coming 😘

[@alandeb]

Awww that's so sweet, thank you! 😍 And we love that you subscribed too! 💖 We'll do a backend vid in the next few months - so keep your eye out for that one!

[@suzieknight8617]

[@emmaemma9406]

I really like the both of you. I am from the GC as well, I have just found your channel. Well done guys !

[@alandeb]

Awesome! Thanks so much! Thanks for watching 😍💕

[@olivetherapies]

Oh wow a year on your KZbin journey! Yes I'd be very interested to know how it works getting paid on KZbin. 🤑🤑🤑 I found you because I wanted to watch people in their 40s plus travelling and making videos. I wasn't really relating to the younger demographic and their style of video. So glad I found you and love watching your travels and travel tips. All the best for your 2nd year of travel videos 🎉🎉🎉

[@alandeb]

Thanks so much! We're so glad you found us too! 💗 We will for sure make a video about getting paid in the next month or two. :D

[@motox19494]

I love watching you both and your travel adventures. Thanks for the q and a

[@alandeb]

Our pleasure! Glad you're part of our community. 😍💕

[@d.k.1394]

Keep up the work

[@alandeb]

Thanks we will try! 😀

[@tandbtravel]

I love Q&A. Great info. We also try to balance our lives with travelling, so far it's going good, we tend to go overseas 2-3 times a year and a couple of times local (Australia). Really enjoy your content, we can soooo relate😃 keep it up and happy travels.

[@alandeb]

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing. 💖 Where is your favourite place to travel?

[@stephanieb6630]

Just started watching your channel and I'm obsessed with your Bali videos! I'm devout Bali girl and I'm also going in November for my honeymoon (kidmoon- 11yr boy, 2 yr boy)❤ keep up the humor love it!

[@alandeb]

Wow, that's awesome! 😍 Thanks for subscribing and have an amazing Bali trip!

[@donnathone4773]

Thanks for sharing and I love ❤️ your videos

[@alandeb]

You are so welcome! We 💖 seeing your name in the comments each time. Thank you 😍

[@RJELL68]

Thanks so much for sharing! I would love to see a Q and A on KZbin! I want my husband to start a channel as he’s great in front of a camera but it’s starting that’s hard. Would love to know how you learned editing and how to upload and stuff like that. Oh and how you earn money and since you offered lol, how much you earn! We’re doing a 6-8 weeks in Bali next year and I want him to have a go at documenting that but his first question was “how do you edit to make something good? Is there a program? Do I need to take a class to learn the program” helppppp 😂

[@alandeb]

Hey Rebecca, When we first started the vlog (see our early vids) we used Canva to put the video together. That was ok but a long process so we changed to DaVinci on PC and iMovie on Mac. Pretty much it is just a case of playing around with it and trying not to get too frustrated... lol. Editing is really a full on job. We usually film over 4 days and then it takes another 4 days to edit and do the thumbnail and description, etc. So 1 vid usually takes around a week. If hubby is great in front of the camera, that is half the battle won! Great news is, you'll have time to start checking out the editing programs before you go and EVERYONE loves a good Bali Vid! Let us know when you post your first one! 💖😍💕

[@lynparsons6539]

Good on you guys, just keep being and doing you 😊 we love you guys, you are just so natural 😊

[@alandeb]

Thank you so much! We will x

[@travelwithus-family]

Good on ya guys! Who cares what people say or think just live your best life always ❤

[@alandeb]

Exactly right! Thanks heaps for watching! ❤

[@sarahhardie6569]

dollars 😊 Keen to hear how youtube works 🤑

[@alandeb]

We will get a vid up in the next few months 🤑🐱

[@fiona4324]

I’m in Bali in November. Might see you somewhere between Sanur or Legian

[@alandeb]

Sounds good! 😍 We're thinking of heading over to Komodo Island for a little while too.

[@bali-days]

I love u guys. So honest & real. I love Bali too so my husband & I started a KZbin channel. We find it impossible to get subscribers. How did/do u do it? We’ve got about 340 but I can’t see how we can get any more. We’ve exhausted our supply😂 Keep up the good work!

[@alandeb]

Oh the dreaded 300s.... lol It felt like we were stuck on 330 forever! I took a quick little look at your channel and my advice is declutter your thumbnails (as in take away a lot of the words) Just use a few large bold words to draw people in. Also, hit the shorts hard. Make one everyday and have a call to action at the end - tell people to 'subscribe for more... (Bali videos?) You are consistent atm with your vlog videos which is great! Try those two things and I think you will be pleasantly surprised withing the next few months. Good luck with it! Let me know how you go. 😍💕

[@travelwithus-family]

New subscriber here 😊

[@ellaluv8536]

congratulations again guys! i got all my friends/fam watching you guys i really love your videos , I first discovered you from your comedy cruise videos. 🤣. i missed this Q &A but for the next one I was wondering whether u guys are naturally outgoing or if was it hard adjusting to vlogging and the confidence aspect of being infornt of a camera ?

[@alandeb]

Wow! Thanks heaps for subscribing and sharing us around! 😍 It was hard being in front of the camera at first. I started off doing LIVES on another platform a few years ago and looking back now they were bad... lol ... but it was the stepping stone I needed before doing KZbin vlogs. I would class myself as an introvert but I am able to put the mask on and do what is needed for the camera and in social situations. Al talks to everyone and anyone normally but he finds it hard to keep the conversations going when the camera is turned on. The thing is... you will always find 'your people' or they will find you and with nearly 3 billion people actively watching KZbin there is an unlimited audience that will relate to the content that we're making. You should give vlogging go Ella - KZbin is a lot of hard work, but it is also a lot of fun too! Thanks for the great question.

[@kezzfromoz5461]

I enjoyed this video. Did notice that the tooth Al had fixed in Bali has now gone? What happened; in the dentist video you seemed very happy with the quality of the dentistry service.

[@alandeb]

hahaha - Al was very happy with the tooth and service of the Bali dentist but Al being Al... he lost his denture! 😂 He always loses his glasses too!

[@suezeeq]

New subscriber. Love your vids

[@alandeb]

Thanks and welcome x

[@mosaicmuse9797]

PS. Keep it real and your channel will grow 😉

[@alandeb]

Always!

[@mareelewis7639]

New to your channel. I am heading back to Bali and have not travelled for ages and i am a little worried as everything has changed now. I am the same as you guys as i don't get take away and i save everything for travel. Any tips as its my 50th Birthday and i would love to have a really good day without spending a fortune and been in a car for hours. Thank you.

[@alandeb]

If you like seafood, you could get a GoJek to the seafood market in Jimbaran (buy from the inside stalls) and have one of the restaurants on the beach cook it up for you at sunset. They normally charge around $3kg to cook it. Otherwise head up to Amed for a day or two and go snorkling from the beach. Oh and Happy 50th! I'm sure whatever you decide to do on your special day will be amazing!

[@gillian0105]

The cost of drinks on a cruise ship are a rip off.
