[Music]
hello from the Gil Islands hey guys
we're here at villaa and Gil a and uh it
is just wonderful uh what an island
every one of you guys thank you so much
that recommended us to come out here
so we wanted to take this video today
also to address some of the comments and
questions that have been coming up
constantly yeah there's been two main
ones where is Prince oh yes where the
is Prince don't say where the
hell is
Prince and the second one is uh how do
you guys make your money uh so let's
start with where the heck is our dog
Prince
the
singlehanded hardest part about this
trip was having to unfortunately leave
prince in Canada because just the
process was too stressful to bring him
here to Indonesia taking a dog overseas
and trying to get it through the
quarantine process to get it into some
somewhere like Indonesia it's not even
an OP so we had a choice and that choice
was do you want to go and do this trip
uh and find a very perfect place for the
dog at home or do you want to stay and
we made a very very difficult choice and
Juliana cried when we dropped them off
and he's now currently with her mom
part-time and the other parttime staying
at a place called love your dog in arre
Alberta it's actually just outside of
arre Alberta and it's a a really
beautiful big farm like an acreage they
literally play with dogs all day they
let them out out and they stay all day
and then they sleep because they're so
tired from the day and there's also
Juliana's mom yeah um who will let's put
a little clip right here a little we
FaceTime with our dog so here's a clip
you can see and yes as you can see he
is actually just doing nothing like
always he's an idiot like I always say
but we love him
pieces and know we didn't abandon him
and know we didn't ditch him and the
things that some people are saying we
did but we do live up to our
responsibilities Prince is a rescue dog
uh and he was extremely troubled and we
had actually some very serious issues
with him when like when we first got
when we first got him and he was about
you know 8 months old um and a lot of
people told us to put him down and a lot
of people told us to get rid of him um
and we stuck it out and you know the one
thing we always say about Prince is that
we owe him more than than he owes us MH
and it's for a couple of reasons Prince
tested us uh in so many ways in so many
ways our patience and our our compassion
and our dedication our commitment and
outside of that because he's so high
energy and so troubled we had to put so
much time and we learned about being a
team we've done over 2 hours a day with
him outside for over 5 years and there's
days when it's- 40 or where it's plus 35
whatever where you're just the last
thing you want to do in the world is go
outside but you learn to and it taught
us about an appreciation for for that in
our culture in Canada when it's cold you
learn to stay inside and you hide from
the elements and you stay where it's
comfortable we've taken them on so many
road trips so everywhere we go we're
finding provincial parks and places we
never found we're finding little hidden
gems anywhere nature that's interesting
he loves we take him camping we took
them on a 3-day 25 km hike once
[Music]
and all these things actually like have
taught us to appreciate the Earth that
we live on probably more than we ever
could have imagined if it wasn't for him
so thank you Prince we we know you
want so yeah that's Prince so we
appreciate the concern and you know we
have to sometimes put ourselves first as
long as we take care of our responsib as
long as we know he's happy and healthy
and doing well we're happy to know that
and we can continue our journey well
we're actually going to do a 2 or 3
month road trip at the late summer early
fall um around North America and that's
just cuz we a want to explore America
and the and the actual beauty that lies
inside of that country and we want to
explore Canada even more when it's not
freezing cold
out that's that's
Prince all right so let's address the
second question that a lot of you guys
have been asking us is how do we make
money
so first and foremost uh we're not trust
on babies I read that comment so many
times and I refus to acknowledge it
until now Julie and his family actually
moved to Canada when you were 10 yeah
and they started at the bottom we ate at
a food bank at a point so we both we all
started from the very bottom and worked
our way and I've been a self
entrepreneur Hustle until I freaking
break my back kind of guy uh since I was
20 years old um so I yeah we've never
acknowledged that portion of our history
until now um and this YouTube channel I
mean I don't think Julian and I have
ever worked on anything as hard as we've
ever worked um this YouTube channel is
our life we we live it we breathe it
this is the thing we think about and
work on from the moment we wake up to
the moment we go to bed our friends
think we're nuts our family thinks we're
crazy like you guys are always on your
computer and strangers just think we
like social
media everyone here actually says things
like so you guys are on vacation but how
come you don't
leave cuz we literally come to Jil a we
go to restaurants to eat uh and we come
home and we just work uh tomorrow we
have a shoot day so we'll go get to see
some of the stuff and last night we shot
at the Sunrise which was really great
but yeah so how do we make our money
YouTube number one they pay us when you
guys watch the ads or click on the ads
so for any of you guys that have ever
watched or clicked on an ad well thank
you before one of our videos yeah we
thank you so much uh because it's not a
ton of money but you know we got a
fraction of a cent or who knows I don't
even know what the calculation we just
get a payment once a month and we
appreciate it number two is obviously
our DVD and the book that we have
launched in December which is the boho
beautiful and 10 days programs so of
course that definitely helps our life
yeah and any of you guys again I mean is
not a bestseller anything like that it
but every one of you guys makes it like
a bestseller to us because anytime it
sells we get a little notification and
honestly it really like we can't even
believe that like people are buying it
cuz the reality of that it's like to
have that sink in it's like so humbling
yeah so thank you guys for continuing to
support us with your you know your purch
pures with your views and everything
that you do and just your love everybody
that reaches out to us we are obviously
Always Forever grateful so it's just
it's beautiful so thank you guys and
then I guess the third way we make money
last probably 6 months have been
sponsorships and so what sponsorships
are is different brands may approach us
and you know they offer you some sort of
compensation for you to endorse them the
thing with us is that we're
extremely piy piy we've actually had to
turn down a lot of money at times when
people approach us because we simply
cannot put our names to certain
companies or certain brands certain
products like we've had multiple plastic
bottle water companies thinking that
we'd want to like help them sell more
plastic water bottles but we won't and
we won't it doesn't matter like how much
money they have and that's just an
example but you know anything that like
we try our best to vet the companies we
work with to make sure that there's a
positive angle to it all and as well as
if we like it ourselves and we support
it we we would never tell you guys we
like something and ourselves not like it
so obviously there has to be an honesty
with it so yeah so we're just you know
so sponsorship like we're careful
because that's that's a part of the
business we don't really like
necessarily um but it does you know help
us financially with what we do
especially in the traveling you know it
is expensive to travel all all these
three things like amount to enough to
keep our life going to make YouTube
videos make more videos for for you guys
and and then to keep that symbiotic
energy and and that every all of that
like the positive momentum going and it
all every little bit counts so we're
trying to be really Thrifty and careful
on the road and really aggressive with
our time and how much we can invest into
this whole crazy wild adventure and this
brand that we are building with you guys
so thank you so much for all again all
of your support you guys know that we
appreciate it so much and that's pretty
much it we wanted to hope this kind of
clarify some of your questions that you
have we will do another blog kind of
giving you some of our own history some
of our past if you're interested all
right and stick around we got tons of
stuff from Indonesia coming down the
pipe love you guys bye bye
