I am. Just a slow start. Lol. I love how you drop in other creator’s names - already checked out Ben Brown and I hit that subscribe for him. Thanks man! Love how you guys support one another. Dope Squad should be the new World Government. Ooooo is that a dirt word?!?! 😆 (government)
I'm not a content creator. But i get paid to work abroad. One place i visit on a regular basis is Seychelles for 10 years. But will probably this year expand and see more countries. Getting the right people at the right time is the key. Much the same as you describe.
Love your content Chris! So inspiring - great to see how far you've come and how it all came from the arizona video :) I just tried commenting with our website link but I think it took my comment for spam :(
Exactly what I needed right now! Already started to reach out to tourism boards in Europe on Christmas time. Hope to get some insights in your approach, especially if you don´t have a big portfolio of travel related content. Cause I have a portfoilio, but it´s a totally different niche.
That’s is main motivation for filmmaker/ content creators. Life is short. A 9-5 job in the States only offer you two week vacation. That’s not a lot because I want travel +20 countries and come back some of the countries.
I got into videography 2 years ago by watching travel films and dreaming of getting paid to travel somewhere and film. This month I just found out I am being sent to Italy and the UK (I live in the states) to work for a study abroad company. Dream come true started by youtube videos like this years ago!
This video was actually super helpful! This has inspired me to contact people in the areas that I've gone to and made travel/photography videos in and see if they enjoy them!
Dude you are my Ben Brown! You just gave me such an amazing nugget of advice. Thank you thank you thank you brother! Safe travels in Saudi Arabia and can't wait for the F1 videos... Stay Safe. 🙏🏼
Damn this is so inspiring!!! Look man, I don't know if you're gonna read this, but anyway. I love tech, so one of my favorite creators has always being Marques, but ever since I discovered you, you've inspired me so much to do so many things... And now you drop this. I mean, it's different. I just wanna say thanks. Thank you so much for making me believe in myself by believing in yourself first and sharing it with us. Peace and love to you!!
It always starts with inspiration from seeing someone else. It happen to us too 3 years ago. Now we are full-time "Creators". Thanks to all of you guys!! I am grateful!
For me it happened when I finally stuck to something. There is a great book called "The Gap" that focuses on that idea. In the past I would try wedding videography or music videos for a year and then stopped because it wasn't working as expected. With travel, however, I focused all the energy (and money lol) on that one thing for years: travel videos. After 3 years we are finally lucky enough to get approached by companies paying for our trips and being able to live off it full-time. Now the major obstacle is the lack of time to do multiple experiences at once... A good problem to have.
Love this comment. I have the same issue not sticking to one thing long enough to become really good at it or give it a chance to flourish. Could you please provide the author of this book?
Watching this as I edit a video for my provincial tourism board. I remember watching your videos working with provincial tourism boards and thought how cool would it be to do that one day… hard work pays off.
OMG This video blew up my mind, and I have been dreamed to get travelling for a living! Your sharing is so much touching and authentic. This video has again lighten the light in my heart to pursue my dream. Will check out the course! Thanks Chris! Cheers :)
Hey Chris, I’m am a new photographer. When I found your channel I automatically new I was gonna love your vids. And I do! I hope to do exactly what you do some day
Gahhhhh this is so epic. I would go crazy if I could do stuff like this!!!! This would legit be my ultimate dream come true. Great content as always! Super inspired I cant even with words.
I would love to be a content creator. I do what I can, when I can on my youtube and travel when I can. Would be a dream to travel and create content so excited to get into this video. I also saw you pop into Mike(north borders) video a while back. Which was awesome to see! Here is to a great 2022!
Believe me or not I’m watching You and Mike videos from more than 2 years now 🥳❤️ I’m so happy to see my favt TH-camrs in single vlog and I saw you in his video before 🥳🤩
been watching mike since he was at like 2,000 subs or something, bloody legend! inspired me to get out and show my work to companies, to try and get more work! now i'm living in japan, working in Hokkaido, doing it all over again!
Man I needed this message today! I just started my video journey recently and just created my TH-cam channel. I'm excited to see where I go in the future, but it's awesome to see that even the creators we all look up to today had to start somewhere !
Gosh this is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story! I create travel content too and when the going gets rough, I watch videos like these to keep me motivated. It's been 2 years and this video is still very relevant to me. Thank you :')
Waw ooo Chris coming across your channel is one of the best thing to happen to me this yr. This has always been my dream but don't know where and how to start. I thought it was impossible but u have proved me wrong.Thanks man
I'm also from Toronto and I just discovered your channel. I remember exactly when that Ben Brown video released because it was probably the best travel video I'd ever seen on TH-cam. I'm not even a travel vlogger or anything like that, but this video was just so inspirational and motivating!
This was so inspiring chris. Hopefully one day I'll make a video and Say "one day I saw Chris Hau video & Now I am travelling the world". Keep inspiring Keep creating. Happy New year Man!!!!
I am your channel's latest subscriber. I really just liked and appreciated all the last two videos of Ottawa (for tourism board of Ottawa ) and Saudi Arabia ( Formula 1). Thank you
Hey Chris! Thank you for sharing such valube knowledge about landing Travel clients! I'm actaully from Dublin Ireland it gives me inspiration to do Travel Vlogs on Dublin and Cinimatic Travel video's. I got hyped when i seen you were with Mike in his video
You are a phenomenal inspiration Chris! And I can’t wait to get to the level where you can know my name and I can collaborate with you someday! Love what you do man!
I fell in love with photography after graduating back in 2017, I have been trying to find my niche for that long as I just love travel and night photos but don't travel enough to make a consistent feed out of it so I started to do street photography as well here in London, UK. Last year was a white year for me, I was lacking inspiration, couldn't grow anymore on instagram (actually opposite effect) and I just stopped posting even though I'd still go out, take pictures, edit them, leave them on the laptop and never show anybody. I started this year 2022 motivated and currently working on making something out of what makes me happy (photography and experiences), this video came right on time and is giving me this extra boost I needed. thanks a lot for the positivity. It's hard to make this make sense to people around us, telling people you want to face the unknown and risk not getting any money when you have a decent paying office job is hard.
I think this is the first time I saw a video offering advice about how to make money travel vlogging and the advice was actually informative and helpful, thank you for making this video
Great story and very inspiring. I'm nowhere near where you are but my goal is to showcase the lesser traveled places - places people may not have even heard of. Let's see what 2022 brings, happy travels!
Congrats on the opportunity and it is inspiring to see how you did it. You are free to make your own choices, however I would not work with Saudia Arabia for the many things they have done. They might be taking a good turn but I have to see longer term changes to believe it.
I'm doing this right now and it's amazing, you don't need a lot of followers, just persistence and creativity. I support Chris's work since I found out about Pete 5 years ago and all of you guys inspired me to do what I'm doing today. So, a sincere Thank you.
Loved your video and your enthusiasm! I'm not young as you but I had this passion years ago and now I am ready to come back, I'm starting a photography course next week, we will see from there. 😊
Chris… THANK YOU! Honestly than k you for this video. I really needed some inspiration and positivity in my life right now and this video gave me so much!
Wow. I’ve had a channel for a few years but never felt so inspired before. Your story is so cool. Safe travels and best wishes. Definitely checking out your course
Way to go Chris! Portfolio plays such a great part in landing jobs or collabs, but before anything PASSION is what will take you ANYWHERE in life, and in this video we really felt your passion about what you do. Keep it up
Exactly. This is the main thing. Sorry for my English, it's not my native. Chris, you are NOT a normal guy. You are successful because you are grateful, and yes, passionate, full of positivism, so you can ride on even the tiniest wind, because this is how we all should live our life. You can use the matrix, and that's it. Have fun! 😁😎
So inspirational, great video Chris! That's literally my dream, I'm currently 6.5k subscribers in. It's a slow process but I'm trusting it will happen eventually 👏
TL:DR (though, you gotta watch this video!!). Put in the work, make the connections, take the risks, make the sacrifices, and be confident in your end product. Kick ass, make a life worth living and make the money you need to live it. Great video @Chris Hau.
THIS is the EXACT video I needed to see today. I really want to change careers and getting paid to do travel photography would be a dream come true. Time for me to stop talking an start doing!
This video has the same inspiration that the one you talked about had to you. Congrats for your carrer, I really admire you and your wife life and jobs
This video is so inspiring! I’ve never thought about contacting the tourism boards before! I understand exactly what you mean about how you felt about the free beer, when I got my first thing for free from my TH-cam channel, I was so excited cause my dream was finally starting to feel real! You’ve done such an amazing job! You’ve definitely inspired me to start making videos for tourism boards! Also the photos you took are insane!!😍
Who is a content creator!? Do you have a dream of travelling for a living? Drop your websites below. Would love to see your content :)
I am. Just a slow start. Lol. I love how you drop in other creator’s names - already checked out Ben Brown and I hit that subscribe for him. Thanks man! Love how you guys support one another. Dope Squad should be the new World Government. Ooooo is that a dirt word?!?! 😆 (government)

My favorite video from you in a long time! Your level of stoke here speaks even louder than the amazing words!
Ehhh thanks man. It’s all genuine. :)

Chris AND Mike in the same video?!?! Epic!
This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing, this is my dream and while watching this video I couldn’t stop smiling, so motivational.
Hey I just got home from there. However your trip is much more exciting than mine. I lived in tents and was constantly covered in sand.
THAT is the kind of videos I wanna see on this channel !! 🔥👍
THIS is the EXACT video I needed to see today. I really want to change careers and getting paid to do travel photography would be a dream come true. Time for me to stop talking an start doing!
