Hello YouTube world!! It's time for another Road Trip! As we wind down the Great Lakes series, I am planning the next trip to Hawaii! It will be the 49th state I will document for YouTube.

If you live in Hawaii and want to talk to me about your experience, send me an email: NickJohnsonNC18@gmail.com. I would love to talk to you.

In this trip, I'm going to show you the good and bad sides of Hawaii. It's a beautiful place, but as you know, Hawaii is struggling with all the same issues we see here on the mainland - poverty, a cost of living problem, drugs, gangs, and homelessness. 

You know - all the stuff you people LOVE to watch!

Stay tuned for that. And again, thanks for being awesome channel supporters.

What do homeless camps in the snow have in common with angry rednecks? You guessed it! The Upper Midwest!

It’s time for another World Premiere. This time, we spent a month in the Great Lakes Region.

The Great Lakes Series Premiere will be today, March 15 at 8pm Eastern. Tune in:  https://youtu.be/VAlhB_N9Y5k  

In this series, we explored Michigan, Wisconsin and several other cities in the WINTER! 

-We saw all the big cities - Detroit, Green Bay, Milwaukee and Madison. Some huge surprises in all of them.

-We spent a week in the Upper Peninsula to show you how people live in cold and snow. 

-We traveled in the ghettos of Detroit and Milwaukee. 

-You'll see the worst cities in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan (Cause that’s what you people want to see, sadly).

-I'll show you weird, wild and wonderful! If you’ve never been to this part of the country, you’ll be amazed.

-And of course, there’s plenty of homelessness, poverty and decay. 

This region has some of the best people in the country. Most are sensible, hard-working and just…real ‘MERICANS. And there are plenty of surprises, too :)

I hope you guys can tune in for the Premiere - or at least look for the series kickoff when it's published. There's a lot to see and learn on this trip.

Hey guys! It's time for another ROAD TRIP! I know, the Texas series is just beginning to air, but we're hitting the road again!  This time, it's gonna be COLD and NASTY. 

Do you live in Michigan or Wisconsin and want to talk to me about your state? Email me! NickJohnsonNC18@Gmail.com 

I've shown you a lot of corners of the country, and it's usually sunny or somewhat nice. This time we're going to the end of the earth. We're going to drive a loop around the Great Lakes in the middle of winter! You'll get to see how people live in freezing, snowy conditions. Most of the trip will be in Michigan and Wisconsin, but there will be a little bit of Indiana in there as well. 

I'm going to show Detroit, some small towns in Michigan, the Upper Peninsula, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison, and some other small towns in Wisconsin. You'll get to see some neat small towns, big cities and of course, GHETTOS. You guys love some rundown and dangerous. And boy is there a lot of that where we're heading!

Cheese, beer, ice fishing, snowmobiling, dog sled racing, and hockey. And for you sickos: Poverty, crime, unemployment, drug abuse and abandoned crap.

So, again, love to hear from Michiganders and Wisconsinites or anyone up there who can offer some insight. The Trip will be in February. Being on the SNOW!

It's time for another ROAD TRIP! This time, we spent a month exploring TEXAS!

The Series Premiere will be Tuesday, January 2 at 3pm Eastern. Tune in:  https://youtu.be/3DJQDyJldqs 

In this series, we explored the ENTIRE state of Texas. 

-We saw all the big cities - Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth. 

-We spent a week at the US border to highlight what is happening there. 

-We traveled the Texas coast, of course. 

-You'll see some of Texas' worst poverty stricken areas and illegal immigrant compounds.

-I'll show you all the new popular suburbs that are BOOMING.

-We spent a week in western Texas to show how the oil industry has changed that part of the state. 

-And of course, Texas Hill Country.

A lot of people are moving to Texas, and the state is going through a lot of transitions - both good and bad. The cost of living, the homelessness, the politics - all of these are big topics out here. 

You'll go inside homeless camps, meet frustrated people at the US Border, and hear from REAL cowboys. There is so much new growth and a lot of economic turmoil here. And of course, we'll look at all the ghettos. Cause that's what you people want.  

I hope you guys can tune in for the Premiere - or at least look for the series kickoff when it's published. There's a lot to see and learn on this trip.

It's time for another ROAD TRIP! This time, we spent more than a month exploring the Mountain West!

The Series Premiere will be Tuesday, August 8 at Noon Eastern. Tune in:  https://youtu.be/aPp42MHD5ZI 

In this series, we explored Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. We even ducked into Washington and Oregon. The series will talk about how things are changing out west, and give you a unique look into the way of life in this often-unexplored region. 

As you probably know, lots of people are moving to this region, which has caused a lot of problems. The cost of living, the homelessness, the politics - all of these are big topics out here. 

You'll go inside an open air drug market, see how ranchers and farmers live, and get inside the battle for political dominance in this region. We'll also see poverty, wonderful small towns and some of the most beautiful stretches of land in the nation. 

I hope you guys can tune in for the Premiere - or at least look for the series kickoff when it's published. There's a lot to see and learn on this trip.
