Today is a day I have been waiting on for quite a while now. The time has finally come for my husband and I to share our latest travel vlog with all of you and we can’t wait for you to see it! Unlike our last trip to London when we faced all manner of dreadful weather, this time around we were graced with bright and sunny skies, allowing for a very different looking recap of our trip. Our summer 2017 London travel vlog is full of gorgeous architecture, dreamy sunsets and very happy memories. I hope you all enjoy it as much as my husband and I do!
Our London Travel Vlog
Today is the day! It is finally time for me to share my London travel vlog. Half of me is excited while the other half of me feels it necessary to issue a disclaimer along with it. You see, this vlog didn’t end up quite like my husband and I envisioned and it came very close to not being completed at all.
As someone who is new to travel vlogging, it didn’t cross my mind prior to this last trip abroad that perhaps winter is not the best time to try to get gorgeous footage of a European city, particularly of London. It rained close to the entire time we were in England which, from a sightseeing standpoint, wasn’t that big of a deal to us. After all, we both grew up in cities that get their fair share of rain. It became more of an issue when we were unable get the amount of footage we wanted and needed to create the account of our trip that we hoped to. As it turns out, you can’t pull out a camera in the middle of a windy downpour without ruining said camera. Lesson learned.
I am ultimately choosing to still share this London travel vlog because there are some truly memorable moments mixed in with the dark, wet and windy ones (Chelsea FC game, I’m looking at you!). The final product isn’t perfect, but the trip itself wasn’t perfect either and this feels like a pretty accurate representation of that experience. Like anything in life, you get a bit of the bad mixed in with the good and in this situation, the bad happened to involve getting soaked to the bone while having multiple umbrellas carried away by the wind. What can I say? Sometimes life isn’t as picture-perfect as you envisioned it being but it doesn’t make it any less unforgettable.
Our Venice Travel Vlog
There aren’t enough adjectives in the English language to properly express how excited I am to share today’s post with you! As you have probably picked up on by now, my husband and I visited Venice a few months ago and had an absolutely dreamy time. The weather was perfect, the crowds were minimal and it was overall an incredibly magical experience to share with one another. So magical in fact, that I can’t help but give you all a glimpse into our time in the beautiful city with the help of our Venice travel vlog!
Our Paris Travel Vlog
I have never been as excited to share a post as I am today. Prior to our trip to Paris earlier this month, I decided I wanted to put together a travel vlog, my first ever, of our time there. The desire to start vlogging about our trips comes from two places. First, I simply love watching the adventures of others in their travel vlogs and was eager to share my own. Second, I wanted to incorporate my husband a bit more into Musings on Momentum and consciously carve out a way for us to work collaboratively going forward.
I have not previously shared much about my husband’s job, or about our life outside of Musings on Momentum for that matter, but that is changing today. My husband has worked as a professional videographer for close to a decade now. He has predominately worked with sports teams and leagues, traveling around the world to shoot different organizations. It is, without a doubt, an absolute dream job.
Over the course of our relationship he has begun traveling for work less and less, something I am incredibly thankful for, and today shoots locally the majority of the time. That fact, combined with my ever-expanding vision for Musings on Momentum, led me to suggest that we collaborate to create a vlog of our time in Paris.
