Off-season update: How to NOT travel to the US.
Merry Christmas everyone!!! Yes, I almost made my own version of “home alone” this year, and got uncomfortably close to staying behind in Spain right as we were about to fly across the Atlantic to join Ryan’s family for the holidays in Des Moines, Iowa.
I am still quite embarrassed by what happened, and you can trust I will not let myself be fooled twice (by myself).
We will be back in 2019 with a few more videos that I recorded in November, before tackling our Mediterranean tour in March.
Ryan and I are both very excited (but Ryan especially) for the many upgrades we will make on Polar Seal this year. On my side, I am looking forward to step-up the videos next year, by attempting to solely focus on them. I am already working on some exciting new features for this channel, and I can’t wait to document our adventures in the Med.
A few weeks ago, I realized that the external microphone jack port had been broken (probably since a few months back), hence the audio being rubbish and the end of the video looking/sounding weird. My camera is being repaired as we speak, so you can trust that the sound will be a lot better in the future.
