Chelsea and Kinsey are our names, and travel videos are our game. We travel the world with nothing more than packs on our backs and video cameras at hand for our blog, www.thetravelinchicks.com. When we are not traveling the world, we are downing vats of coffee and hitting up the beach no matter what time of year.
