We just hit 5,000 subs — so I’m giving away almost $1,000 in travel gear 🎉

Hey, Johannes from GearUpYourLife here.

It’s honestly crazy to look back and see how far we’ve already come together.

Just 5 months ago, I was sitting in Spain, recording ( or more like crafting 😂) my very first videos — not even sure if anyone out there would care about the gadgets I pack.
3 months ago, this newsletter started as a small side-project — just me writing down the things I wish someone had told me when I started traveling.
And then suddenly, the first videos passed 10,000 views, and I realized: this isn’t just a hobby anymore. This is turning into a real community.

Now, here we are: 5,000 subscribers on YouTube. And it feels like things are only going up from here.
For the first time, I’m using my own voice in videos instead of just AI voiceovers. Soon there’ll be a full website, and yes — even a proper face reveal. On the website you’ll also see a whole new kind of content I’ve been secretly working on in the background.

It’s been a wild journey already, but honestly, this feels like just the beginning.

And because this is only possible thanks to you, it’s time to give something back.

👉 Exclusive here in the newsletter: 3 products, going out to 3 winners, worth a total of $400.
👉 On YouTube: another 3 products, together worth a bit over $350.

That’s 6 winners in total, and the whole giveaway kicks off Wednesday, October 1st.

But before we get to that, the best way to celebrate today is with a new video that just dropped 15 minutes ago:

This whole thing — from Spain, to the first 10k video, to 5,000 subs — has been built together with you. And the next chapter will be even bigger.

Safe Travels !

Johannes

PS: If we hit 100 followers on Instagram, I’ll throw in a small bonus giveaway worth $75 — and since it’ll just be around 100 people competing, your chances there are pretty insane. Follow here 👉 [Instagram ]
