From balancing budget and seasons to considering our filming goals, personal bucket lists, and even visas, there’s a lot that goes into every decision. We also reflect on how our priorities have changed over the years and what we look for now in a destination. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on before we hit the road, this one’s for you!
Today we’re breaking down some of the biggest misconceptions people have about being travel YouTubers.

If you’ve ever wondered what life as a travel YouTuber is really like, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we dive into a tricky but important conversation — the line between racism and cultural ignorance while traveling. Inspired by a recent viral video involving a tourist and a Thai park ranger, we reflect on our own travel experiences where we felt judged, misunderstood, or uncomfortable. Was it racism? Cultural ignorance? Or something else entirely? Whether you’re a traveler, expat, or just someone trying to navigate a diverse world with more empathy, we hope this episode encourages honest reflection and conversation. Have you ever experienced something similar while traveling?
In this episode, we talk about something that’s often unspoken in Asian households—why it’s hard for us to show affection.

We explore the role of culture, family dynamics, and how we’re learning to express love in our own ways. If you've ever felt like affection doesn’t come naturally or questioned how your culture shaped the way you love, this conversation might resonate with you too.
Holidays have always been different for us. Growing up, they weren’t a big deal for our families, and now, as full-time travelers, they’ve taken on a whole new meaning. In this episode, we share how we navigate the holiday season on the road, our unique gift-giving traditions, and why the lack of a home base makes this time of year bittersweet. We also take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season, no matter where you are or how you celebrate!
We’re spilling the tea on our worst travel experiences—from food tours that took a turn for the worse to trips that didn’t live up to the hype.

In this episode, we’re sharing the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre stories that have shaped our adventures.

We’re sharing the nerves, surprises, and cultural shocks we faced through language barriers and unexpected moments on the road. This episode is all about embracing the unfamiliar—and how it’s shaped who we are as travelers!
We’re opening up about a very personal topic: our decision to live a childfree life. This wasn’t always our plan, and getting here has meant navigating plenty of twists, turns, and challenges. We’ve each had different visions of what our family could look like, and ultimately, we’ve chosen a path that feels right for us.
In this episode of On the Road with Flora and Note, we’re talking about what really makes us feel rich—and it’s not about money.

We hope it gets you thinking about what makes you feel rich in life. If you have half of these, consider yourself rich!
Vlogging seems exciting, but the journey isn’t all smooth sailing. In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of our vlogging journey – from the early struggles of planning and executing a video series to the hard lessons we’ve learned along the way.
