I really liked his first one but they have all been meh since. I wish he’d stop filming his gf’s arse just gross.
The Pullman looks cool though.

Taking the low estimate of £7000 per million views, 7000 x 142 = £994,000. So it's possible he is funding it all himself. He's likely earnt around £1million.
Whether he had help early on I don't know.
But that's crazy when you think the majority of views have been since the pandemic (that's when his channel took off) I wonder if travelling during the pandemic helped him get ahead on the youtube algorithm.

These trips hence regularly goes on 99% of the average Joe couldn't afford talk about not talking youre audience with you on the trips and loosing them instead & rubbing their nose in it with as much arrogance as you can muster along the way. A look at me show off is what he is

See I'm the opposite, I hate the bitchy/drama type vloggers. I just want information and see stuff, I don't want the vloggers to be the star. Which is probably why I initially liked Trek Trendy. But his pompous and patronising tone has got more off putting. His entitlement has creeped through more too.
Lol I don't think he is gay, but his GF adds nothing on camera, it's quite awkward and theres no chemistry there.

I just watched one of his videos and hoped there would be a Tattle thread where people spoke plainly. The comments are full of arse kissing, when I think surely some of them must think he's a bit of a pillock? 
The video I watched is "Flying First Class to Every Continent in 7 days". It just all feels a bit pointless. Yes, I get a lot of the attraction with his videos is seeing luxury and 'how the other half live', but he barely seemed to enjoy any of the places he flew to, it was just a case of staying in one place for a bit and then flying again.
And he wore that NASA hoodie practically every day. Why? Presumably it's become an inside joke or something? He also does this smug grin that seems like he's saying "yes I am a dickhead, what about it?"
I feel a bit mean though, as I've seen a lot worse travel vloggers (his sense of entitlement is a fraction of the awful Nonstop Dan, for example).

DownieLive is a great travel channel! I also really like Chloe and Ludvig.
I always wonder how TrekTrendy/Will pays for all this stuff. It's wild seeing all of the expensive, insane things he films but I do think it is sweet he often brings his parents. We had a trip planned with my mom, but she passed away before we could go. I think it's super important to have that t ime with your folks.

One of the few positive aspects of his channel. If you’re on the YT algorithm gravy train, why not bring your parents along for the ride occasionally?
ANOTHER Orient Express video?!
I continue to marvel at how baffling his presentation style is; I feel like I’m watching a show on luxury travel aimed at children which makes no sense IMO.
Also, give Millie an Oscar for at least trying to feign SOME amount of shock for being on another Orient Express adventure!

he is an absolute fucking tool but it was nice that he let Millie speak in this most recent video (he does seem to talk to her/about her like she's a toddler lol)

Yeah that's true, his cruises are pretty poor

I used to like him, but his entitlement creeps in now and again. Especially during the pandemic.
His cruise vlogs are quite pointless as he never shows destinations or the whole cruise experience.
He doesn't have the smugness of many of these luxury travel vloggers, but like you say, the smug slightly patronising facial expression is off putting. His abbreviations scream smugness too.
I've watched nearly every video and I'm sure the nasa thing hasn't been explained. That and the timms thing is cringe.

She is a bit...vacant though. She's probably lovely and just doesn't like being on camera. But it's always a forced grin and wide eyes with her.
I can't work out if he has always been a tool or if the success has got to him, but I don't enjoy his videos like i uses to.
Actually, travelling everywhere during pandemic and bitching about service levels not being what they were. And taking a private jet to the antarctic (when I really went off him) ....he's always been a tool

Everything he wears is too small. The ”posh” jackets he wears for ‘Dinner’ are also too short. He looks stupid in formal settings. His family might be money but he is very low rent. I’m sure he would revel in the idea that he’s a relatable chav with his Primark nasa and his Tims but it just looks awkward.

A million views can earn circa £7000 based on many travel vloggers earnings reveals. Yeah I agree, this one seems like he will struggle to make money off of. Especially when you look at other videos of the same train.
I think he has earnt a lot in the past, so he may have the cash. But I do wonder if this is an ego lead choice.
The issue with this one too is people can't just go and book it. So even if you have the money to spend, you can't necessarily experience it.
