Gary & Jenn Go Places

22/01/2024

Hi everyone! Well, the new year is upon us, so we thought we'd share a little bit about Gary & Jenn Go Places from last year. 2023 was quite busy for us, and we did quite a bit of traveling. First off, we traveled in 6 different countries and visited 10 states. We drove over 8000 miles during our trips, and went on two cruises, sailing nearly 1800 nautical miles.
Secondly, we started our social media presence, including our website, page, YouTube channel, Instagram, and even TikTok. Our main focus was on our YouTube channel. We managed to put out 12 long videos, as well as some shorts. We really didn't expect a lot out of it, but we were pleasantly surprised. We currently have over 1,100 subscribers (which blows our minds) and the videos have been watched over 64,000 times, for a total of over 6,500 hours of watch time. Our very first video (our Margaritaville of the Seas review) has over 30,000 of those views! We can only imagine what the YouTube numbers would have been had we made more content. Our biggest surprise was our TikTok channel. We basically just took the shorts from our YouTube channel and uploaded them to TikTok, and forgot about it. We went back a couple of weeks ago and were shocked! We have gotten nearly 36,000 views to those videos, where the YouTube shorts (which had several others that weren't on TikTok) only got around 15,000 views (we'll still take those numbers), so we are definitely going to have to start focusing on the TikTok content as well. We definitely need to work on Instagram and Facebook! When we are making the video content, we tend to forget about taking photos, so we don't have as much to post for them.
We did learn a lot, and hope we get the opportunity to travel a lot more in 2024. We'll be posting a new video, from our trip to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, very soon (it's pretty humorous as the weather didn't cooperate very well), and we also have a cruise coming up at the end of February on Virgin Voyages, where we are planning several different videos.
Thanks for joining and supporting us on our travel adventures and we look forward to sharing more with you in 2024!!!

We’re super excited… the first major video we did, about our cruise on Margaritaville at Sea, just hit 10,000 views on YouTube!!!

Now, hopefully we can reach our goal of 1000 subscribers on there! https://www.youtube.com/
