We're Dev & Phil from Creatives En Route, two creatives who used our side hustles to fund our passion for travel until we decided to take the leap into fulltime travel. Now, we are sharing what we've learned to make travel more accessible for YOU!

Have we made any money since starting a YouTube channel one month ago?! We are sharing the answer to this, along with TEN other things we have learned since we uploaded our first YouTube video one month ago today! Learning how to setup and grow a YouTube channel toward monetization can be challenging, so we want to share with you all the things we wish we knew one month ago!

We are breaking things down into 2 categories: Filming AND Logistics!
