100 Videos Later… The Teen Travelz Journey So Far
It’s hard to believe I’ve hit 100 videos on This Teen Travelz! When I launched this channel back in February 2025, I never imagined how much I’d learn, create, and experience in such a short time.
From editing late at night between homework assignments to planning road trips with my family, This Teen Travelz has become way more than a YouTube channel—it’s turned into an adventure.
Looking Back on the Journey
Since February, I’ve released 36 full hotel review videos and 58 YouTube Shorts—that’s 100 total uploads!
Balancing all of that with school, travel, and just being a regular teen hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been so worth it. Every hotel stay, every upload, and every new viewer has taught me something new about travel, storytelling, and staying consistent.
Creative Experiments and Sora Shorts
One of the coolest things I’ve added to the channel this year has been my Sora hotel-themed Shorts.
These videos let me bring to life creative ideas that I can’t always film in real life—from funny hotel moments to cinematic scenes inspired by my travel experiences. They’re a mix of imagination and travel storytelling, and I’ve had a blast experimenting with them.
If you’ve seen one and thought, “That was weird but kinda awesome,”—thank you. You get it.
What’s Next: Road Trip Reviews Ahead
Right now, I’m taking a short breather to catch up on editing and finish writing the scripts for a bunch of hotel reviews still in progress.
In the back half of my 2025 Epic Summer Road Trip, I stayed at some of my favorite hotels yet—including amazing Florida properties, a couple of Georgia stops, and a first-ever stay at a new Marriott brand I hadn’t experienced before in Charlotte, North Carolina.
All of those reviews are on the way soon!
Planning 2026 and Beyond
Another reason for this short pause? I’m already planning ahead for next year.
My family and I are figuring out where we want to travel in 2026—the cities we want to explore, the hotels we want to review, and how to reach out to those properties to make it all happen.
It takes a ton of time and organization, but it’s one of my favorite parts of the process. Dreaming up new destinations and turning them into real adventures is what This Teen Travelz is all about.
Gratitude and Thanks
I also want to say a huge thank you to all the amazing hotel staff I’ve met this year. So many people have taken the time to share stories, give tours, or make our stays extra special.
Their hospitality and kindness make every review and every stay more meaningful—not just for me, but for everyone who watches my videos.
A Message to Viewers and Hotels
To everyone who’s been watching, liking, subscribing, or even just scrolling past—thank you. Every single view helps this channel grow, and I’m so grateful for the support.
If you have ideas for things I could add to my reviews—or things I could do better—drop them in the comments on YouTube. I read every one.
And if you’re a hotel that would like to collaborate or be featured, You can reach out through my Contact & Work With Me page.
Wrapping It Up
This 100th video milestone is a reminder of how far This Teen Travelz has come—and how much more there is to explore.
Here’s to the next 100 videos, the next round of adventures, and to every teen traveler out there who just wants to know if the hotel Wi-Fi is fast enough for gaming.
Thanks for following along—and as always…
Let’s get into it!
