$0/moFreeHiddenPatron count not public
$2/moBehind the scenes accessHiddenThis tier is like a little way to say "hey, I watch your videos, I like what you do, keep doing it." Aladino and I get so excited whenever we get a new $2 patron. We even have a special call for it. Whoever sees the notification first loudly sings "$2 patroooon!" in a special kind of tone. Then we hug each other and send off a quick message of thanks to the new patron.
With this tier, you get:
• Access to "Maya's Journals." The journals are published every Tuesday, and give you real time insight into what we're doing!
• Access to Patron-Only Bonus Videos and Live Streams, whenever we post them.
$5/moMeet and GreetHiddenAs we sail slowly around the world, we want to meet you!! We've already met a few patrons, and it's been amazing every single time. You guys could all create YouTube channels yourself, you've got some good stories to tell. So, when possible, we like to organize meet and greets. When we do, you'll get an invitation!
Please note that in person tours of our current refit boat (Magic Carpet II) are not possible, since the boat is on private property. We will try to organize some meet and greets in the local area of Port Townsend.
Includes all rewards from previous tier as well!
$10/moHandwritten post card!HiddenI love post, so I'll be sending you a postcard from wherever we are in the world! Please allow at least 1-2 months for delivery!
• A handwritten, thank-you postcard from us, sent to you from wherever we are in the world.
$15/moOfficial SponsorHiddenOkay, on a more serious note (because this is a more serious donation), this kind of support really, really makes a difference to us. With every passing month, we're able to sail with growing confidence that we have the financial support that we need. This is in a large part due to donations at this tier and higher. Your support is quite literally changing not only our lives, but it's also helping us to keep increasing our video quality and quantity.
As a thank you for your patronage, we will give you (in addition to all previous rewards):
• Your name in the credits at the end of every video. Your name will be permanently embedded in each episode's credits!
*Please allow 1-2 months for your name to start appearing, since I do usually backlog YouTube videos quite a lot.*
*Please note I will NOT include your name unless I get permission from you before hand –– I know some people prefer to remain anonymous! When you sign up for this tier, I will send you a message and ask permission to include your name*
$25/moMagic Carpet FamilyHiddenWow. This is a whole new level of support. If you're even considering this, then we're already thankful.
We'll give you...
• A phone call from us. We want to thank you "in person" on the phone. Plus, we LOVE getting to know our patrons.
$50/moPen PalsHiddenLet me tell you a story. We have one patron who donates $50/episode. When Aladino and I saw that notification, we both gasped, then hugged each other, then started dancing around the boat in disbelief and gratitude and joy.
Then I sat down and I wrote...
• A personalized, hand written letter sent to you anywhere in the world. One of my more hidden hobbies is calligraphy. You can expect something beautiful –– wax seal and all. The content of the letter will be like a secret journal entry that we share with only you. We'll tell you about an aspect of our journey (in handwriting!) that no one else gets to hear about. We might even include a little gift from the local area. If you stay a patron for a few months, you can expect more than one letter.
$100/moThe Absolute Crazy PersonHiddenWOW. We are speechless.
As a thank you for your patronage, we will give you (in addition to ALL above rewards):
• A song written especially for you, by Maya. Your insane contribution has to go down in history, and what better way than through song.
