I can't believe it's almost been a year I started this YouTube channel because I
thought it would be fun I had absolutely no previous experience with a camera and
you could probably tell that from my first couple of days
we just arrived in Lambasa
searching probably starting tomorrow for wheel
over the course of the year I feel like I've grown as both a creator and as a
person and although sometimes it can be hard to
force myself to create then I read a nice comment from one of you guys and I
remember why I do this as the years progressed I've fallen in love with
creating videos even more and around May with about a hundred subscribers I
decided that I might want to actually pursue this as a career I set goals and
I've slowly slowly accomplished them as time progressed it wasn't actually until
a couple of weeks ago that my first video kind of took off a little bit that
video is about a young family with an inspiring story to tell and I was lucky
enough to be able to help them tell if I'm Ryan I'm Morgan
and we're the Crabtree's in the time since then my channel has been growing
faster than ever before and I am so so so grateful to you guys
for that and that brings me to where we are now we just hit a thousand
subscribers it's a one followed by three zeroes a thousand people that have
enjoyed my videos enough to tag along for the journey now I know it's not the
biggest number in the world but it means so much to me now if you've been
subscribed for a while you may remember a video I made about a company go-go
unique who sent me some scratch off travel maps
if you're a new subscriber what they did is they sent me three scratch-off travel
maps one to review and then two to give away actually one second
here they are I love these maps they're high-quality
and they're a great way to document your journey well I figured what better way
to celebrate 1000 subscribers than to do a giveaway even if you are interested in
these maps christmas is coming up and they make an awesome gift for anybody
family member a friend who loves to travel so let's go over how this works
there's a link to the giveaway in the description below to be eligible for
this giveaway you must be a subscriber that goes for both new subscribers or
people who are already subscribed the giveaway is going to last two weeks that
way everybody who wants to enter has a chance to do so there will be two
winners and those two winners will be notified via email after the contest
ends that should be more than enough time to ensure that the maps get to you
before Christmas I'm so happy that I get to give a little something back to all
of you and I can't thank you enough for helping me reach this milestone I'd also
like to thank Goga unique for giving me this opportunity and sending me these
awesome products I really do love them they're not paying me to say this or
anything they just gave me the product to giveaway
like I said before link in the description below and I cannot thank you
guys enough for helping me reach 1,000 subscribers alright guys so until next
