Allison I have to thank you a lot, because thanks to a sentence you said once in a video, I started travelling alone. The quote was "do you prefer to go there by yourself, or to never go ?" It was eye opening for me and since then I'm not waiting any longer for people to be available to go places, I just go, and it's nice ! ;-)

[@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17]

I agree with you. 💕 I'm going to write that quote down!

[@xoxo_ShayRenee]

Amazing! I agree.

[@TravelingInstyleWithBrooke]

So awesome! I pray to get a solo experience soon🙏🏽but i love my babe too

[@havefaithtarot]

The time/money chicken and egg scenario is literally how I feel everyday about building a business. Not even just traveling. Spot on.

[@MacTravellers]

We’ve found people react quite well to our local travel content. It typically does as well as our longer and more expensive trips. Wherever you live is foreign and exotic to someone.

[@StephanieCollins-vt4fg]

Allison I've been looking for you!!! I followed you many moons ago when your channel was more of a lifestyle channel. I'm glad I found you again once again sharing the same interests.

[@Theatriics]

I remember watching your makeup content in middle/high school, and re-following you about a year ago. I am so glad I did! What you said is SO true; as someone who married young, I feel like I missed out on living alone and want to explore my own independence. So thanks for being there for me in my pre-teens and my adulthood :)

[@kimconnollysolocampermarri467]

I have you to thank for inspiring me to start my own channel as a female traveller. Before seeing your videos, It didn’t occur to me that I could travel on my own and do little trips without my husband. It’s been just under a year that I’ve been learning editing with Premiere Pro and slowly growing my channel. Things have now morphed from me being a solo female/married traveller to some solo trips but many more couple escapes now that my husband has retired one month ago. So once again you’ve helped me because I can see that my niche is actually changing. Thank you for being such an inspiration and for giving me a passion again. I love filming, learning, adventures, travel and showing older women that they too could travel alone and/or with their partners.

[@cassidean6423]

I'm only just watching this from my Watch Later, but your use of music in this is so exquisitely done. I don't think some people know how hard it is to blend and balance that with the tone and vocal levels. You're a KZbin GOAT IMO.

[@shalec6704]

I was so excited for this video and am happy I got to hear your advice! I’ve wanted to break in but as a person who only travels once a year, I didn’t know how to start. Thank you!

[@bellealex9134]

Thank you so much for this video! I have wanted to try to create some travel content for a while but am not able to travel more than once a year. The idea of something near me being new to someone else is something I never thought too much about. This has been the push to start filming travel content around me, thanks. 💖

[@thehiescapade]

I love this video. Thank you for sharing these tips! I agree with never knowing what’s local to you is something big for someone else

[@worldupsidedown1]

Like your videos so much! You are so unpretentious and authentic and it makes you very relatable. I plan on soon starting my own channel that will include traveling as well as life in the mountains as an older (young at heart) single woman. Side note: last June I wanted to go to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons and your video got me on my way-even used a portion of your itinerary. Loved it!!

[@juliemccormick6432]

Thanks for the information I appreciate it as we see all these travel blogs and they never share there tips and tricks, so its very refreshing to find someone that does

[@thepricklyonesbyyanawhelan]

Good to be here ❤ thanks for creating this video, literally it was created for me. I am always thinking on the next best thing to do for growth and creativity. I enjoyed your travels and love your photography. Be blessed 🙌

[@AshesOfRoses]

Your content is always the best. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!

[@linebeaudette4007]

You are such a great inspiration! Thank you for what you do and share with us!

[@billyfranquiz3910]

Great insight. Thank you kindly

[@archismanmitra8262]

Thanks so much ..it's was a great take away From this video and i have been thinking continuously for so long so start the journey and you giving that push that even without travelling you can make travel content had me going today ...and i am going to start ..... Thank you sooooo much 😍

[@NotAnotherAdventure]

This has given us a lot of inspiration, thanks for making this video. These are great ideas to get started!

[@kasiapilch]

Good video girl, really hit home support and uplift people👌🏾

[@justinec3458]

Thank you so much for making this video. I especially appreciate the advice of leaning into a niche that is very specific to us-we have no idea how many others are just like us

[@Chosengirl1]

Thank you! Just started

[@daijharei2456]

This is where having a remote job has saved my life! I'm able to work anywhere so the freedom I have to move from place to place as I wish has helped so much when it comes to planning this new endeavor. Dual citizenship helps alot too!

[@MunkQoo]

Long time subscriber since your beauty era 😊 happy to see you develop your content as you've grown!

[@sincerelyyoursamberdior]

I'm so glad i stumbled across this video!!!

[@tedsclickz2535]

[@ABC-kd6zo]

[@OutdoorMS]

[@wanderingmushto]

Thanks for the tips!

[@YaBoiBond]

Just started a channel today. i have no idea what i am doing but i have done cool things, and been to cool places. My thought process is why couldn't i be the next travel blogger! thanks for the tips

[@wildzenventures]

I appreciate your content and insight. Thank you 💕

[@BarronFujimoto]

Those were a lot of good ideas. Thanks for sharing. Taking notes! 😀

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Great tips! We are new creators and definitely not traveling full time yet so these are great ideas to get us started

[@SameraAbroad]

@5:27 yup, that's me! it's not easy to step out the door for a solo trip, but i'm also so ready to feel that independence

[@ilhamsuleymanov1593]

Hi from Tbilisi Georgia!Great and motivasional video!Thanks

[@mehenazmithila3945]

You are my inspiration ma'am. Solo traveling, the way you do travel vlog is a treat to soul. It's my dream to become like you

[@kelsispires5832]

This was so good and insightful 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@travellingtuesdays]

Loved this video - thanks!

[@Parker-Green]

Great advice, thank you!

[@ppopo3204]

Love this, thank you!

[@rachel.isabelle]

Thank you so much for the tips...I'm starting to try and build my youtube with travel videos (finally uploaded my Joshua Tree trip a few weeks ago, yay!) and went on a bunch of trips last year but now need to save, save save, as well as edit, edit, edit haha...so this had some great ideas!!

[@guesswho2]

I just came across this video. This was valuable. Thank you

[@mylifewhereilive]

Thank you for sharing your information!

[@OnTheRoadwithBarbaraJo17]

I agree... its alot of work. What camera would you reccomend for newbie? Cameras are so complicated. Thank you

[@YellowProductions]

Great tips Allison!

[@Richa_Tripathi]

This is so helpful. Thanks a ton, Allison. Please do one on how to make it as a travel content creator because the KZbin algorithm is really very discouraging for new creators like me.

[@GenxGypsy1968]

Great video, love your content!! It is a challenging niche to jump into, but travel is my passion and I put it on hold while raising my daughter. I've made it a priority for the past 5 years, and love being able to share what I've learned along the way. The only regret I have is that I didn't start sharing earlier 😊

[@lydianichols]

Great video Allison! It inspires me to make no excuses for myself and get to work. Hoping to become a paid travel creator

[@helenatube]

You are so good at giving this type of advice, I loved this! (and I'm not even trying to be a travel creator)

[@randyv8232]

I so agree with watching people who are similar to you. I lost interest in Flying the Nest when they had a baby, and i love your content as a married guy who sometimes dreams of travelling alone.

[@kathryn.gardner.counseling]

Thanks Allison! So helpful and encouraging 👍 I started my KZbin channel in 2020 and have re-focused it on DIY Wellness Travel. I'm having fun writing the content, thanks for the reminder to "lean in" to what I know and love!! 😄❤️ #familyvacation

[@amateurrealist8262]

You’re the best! Thank for this

[@TiffanyElizabeth]

these are amazing tips! as someone who is interested in creating content around lifestyle and travel, I really appreciate your content! :)

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Allison happy Saturday morning and I just wanted to say that your vlogs is sooo beautiful I'm proud of you gurl because you are amazing Supporter and you are grateful

[@wakera1]

The video I always needed!

[@kerrysandersismyname]

I wish your videos were longer I love your independence

[@AkhiZakariah]

Thanks .. you inspired me

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Great advice!

[@jenniferk1119]

I like to do it on my worldtravel i go fpr 2 or 3 Years and wana talk ablut how to go to amazing places but cheap. I travel since 2013 a lot all around the World.

[@nickovercast6304]

I really appreciate you bridging the knowledge gap between "how do I start creating income in the travel scene while still tethered to a traditional income stream?" I've seen very little on that dilemma specifically and, although the things you said seemed obvious once you discussed them, I took a lot away from the video about how to actually Kickstart a new way of living. Much love and appreciation 🤙🌻

[@aerialaustin_]

Thanks for the tidbits, I am a content creator in Austin and I am thinking of creating more travel content.

[@miriamataoba2653]

Love your video ❤️🌺

[@RaC09]

Inspiring indeed!

[@lovepeaceandtravel6672]

Great video!

[@saquoiag]

I want to be a travel content creator. Thanks for posting such an honest and helpful video!

[@emmaketeler]

Definitely cheking out story block! all though I love watching tik toks I hate making them. Maybe this will make it easier

[@tshewangtashi4441]

thank you it was informative. I am really looking forward to write

[@thewanderlustexplorer]

very informative

[@reecsayz6259]

Thank you so much for this video! Like you mentioned, I've wanted to break into this niche as it's a passion of mine, but couldn't figure out how to with the issues you brought up. I can't wait to check out Story Block. Also, love the #travelingteacher phrase!

[@RachaelMartin]

Great tips! I'm trying so hard to grow my travel channel and this will help! Thanks! :)

[@workthentravel]

I love how real this is. People who love to travel dont realize how expensive travel is until they have to pause and contemplate and wait for the next airfare sale.

[@bora99]

I like your traveling videos

[@natwandering]

Great video, especially about the 'it doesn't have to be far' thing, I have certainly learned that during the pandemic when I was doing roadtrips all the time to nearby places. My personal issue is more the time thing, it takes me a lot of time to even just decide what pictures to post on IG so I end up just posting everything in stories and my actual feed is almost untouched for months and months which is ridiculous I know.. and I would love to try out reels to share some of my travels as well but just haven't taken the time yet to do so as there are always other more important things to be done.. if you have any tips on that, I would appreciate it

[@azfarsyed7082]

Creative Writing, Traveler Creator .good idea 💡

[@ashokan134]

Super!

[@parthpanchal4060]

Nice video 👍

[@idbhardwaj2112]

Informative

[@travelwithcino]

Hello ! I started traveling for work and my first year I’ve seen and done so many things and I said to myself I need to start filming my trips! So I just started researching and trying to figure out where to start 😅 and how should I do this travel content creating stuff 😂. This helped so much ❤ so thank you so much !

[@tristaship]

Does story block offer vertical clips? Like for TikTok, shorts, etc.

[@andriytomashchuk9434]

Great 👍

[@fashionbyally]

super helpful :)

[@Brennanfitnessacademy]

What is the best video format from Storyblocks to use for Instagram Reels?

[@Andy1076]

I use epidemic sounds for my music so storyblocks will indeed help me add a little something to my vlogs 😀 Renting an entire school, how many people can say that! Awesome 🤩

[@romak9832]

What camera was used to film this video?

[@MarkandMarie]

LOL! Which came first? The monetization or the travel content? I love it. Oof. Feel so called out. lol I teach online and plan to do content about car camping/teaching from anywhere. lol

[@chrisjpndala7576]

Thanks for the video I'm based in South Africa and want to create a travel channel but within South Africa on a budget as a solo backpacker

[@moinulislam3262]

Love u dear..........❤️❤️

[@Itsthatgirlmaddyxoxo]

Honestly I’m starting my travel instagram tmr and just taking the train to the beach but I’m not buying my pics I’m not being fake that’s why I haven’t started instagram why I got off bc people are fake on instagram

[@AvinashSingh-vj3rk]

Nice 👍

[@mirandaalexis]

I thought about this with my home town

[@AlainaMartinLe]

Lmao I’m the same, married, have a child, but I travel solo too!

[@crjcostomo]

Nice nice! :D

[@turjoy225]

❤️

[@stephaniex8776]

I think people should have visited a place before they talk about it. I think its fake when people use stock images etc.

[@juliemccormick6432]

Hi its my first time in viewing this video and I dont think she is saying fake it! Its more about getting practice if you can't travel and utilising those skills

[@tedsclickz2535]

@@juliemccormick6432 Well said 👍👍

[@thewanderlustlady]

I agree. Going on Google to search for 5 top beaches and then using stock videos to make a post? That’s recycling other people’s work. I get using stock photos sometimes and researching other blogs for support, but creating a whole post like that is not the kind of content a new creator should make. It’s not way to get your audience to trust you because you’re writing about things you haven’t experienced yourself.

[@jamellalee1649]

I would say the whole point of using stock photos is to visualise your research just because I use a photo about the place doesn't mean I haven't done my own research whether online or asking locals. You do the research and make it easy to understand and access. That's the whole point. "I did it so, you didn't have to"

[@Kat3369]

I agree.

[@JalisaWhite]

wow never been so early

[@andreas_adventures]

Nice tips! I've had a channel for years. It's harder to get views than it is to come up with content ideas, for me. Do you have any tips for that?

[@adeelraiz8172]

Love from Adeel Karachi Pakistan
