Sa.
Whoa, baby. 30,000 people are subscribed to our YouTube channel. I can't believe it.
I know that's not like a ton in the world of YouTube, but to us, 30,000 is awesome.
A year ago, we were in the Philippines. It was only our second country. We had about a hundred subscribers, and now we have 30,000. Over 30 countries later and we have this crazy goal of going to 100 countries. And I just never dreamed that we would be able to do this.
Our lives have completely changed because of starting this channel. So we kind of wanted to say thank you. And we're gonna do that in the form of a giveaway.
30K giveaway.
If we're being completely honest, we thought about doing a 10k giveaway and a 20k giveaway, but anyway, we're finally getting away to the getting to the K giveaway.
We're gonna make up for lost time and make it a really, really good one.
So we've thought long and hard about what you, the viewer of our travel YouTube channel, would want to win. And we think we've come up with the perfect price.
It's something we use all the time. It's very useful for traveling, everybody.
Like, one of the questions we get asked most often is about getting into airport lounges. As you know, Kara and I love to get to the airport extra early so we can go to the lounge.
So for this giveaway, we're giving away a priority pass. This is the pass that we use in order to get into probably like 75% of the lounges. I also have status that gets us into into a couple of them. But this pass right here will get you into over 1,000 airports around the world.
I feel like every airport has one and if it doesn't, we're just shocked. So hopefully whoever wins can use it in an airport, but you have to get there like six hours early at least.
You can do. You can do whatever you want to enjoy it. But that's not all. I feel like one of those infomercial salesmen. So I'm also creating a course that teaches you how to use frequent flyer miles to travel around the world for pennies on the dollar. It's like four years of my travel hacking knowledge combined into one 30 day course. It's called 30 days to becoming a travel Hacker. So not only will you win the priority pass, you'll also win free early access to my course. And in order to enter the giveaway, there's going to be a link below. Click on that. There will be some instructions and there will also be some ways that you can get extra entries by, like, sharing it with friends. And we would really appreciate it if you would do that.
This, I don't know. Once again, we didn't.
We never quite plan out how to end these videos.
So thank you. Good luck so much for subscribing to our channel. We'd love it if you enter the contest. Even if, like, you say, like, I don't travel, so I don't need the priority pass, so I don't want to enter. Enter anyway. And we'll figure out how to get you something of a similar value that you'll use.
We want you to know how much we appreciate you.
Also, if you're not subscribed to our channel, go ahead and do that.

Totally kidding. We're fine. Just watch. We appreciate the views. Cara, you got really mean right there. We should end this over.
Over and out.
Stop that.
We out.
