(51:56-1:09:38) “Something that is really important is finding that thing that makes your heart sing, that makes you want to wake up in the morning.” “If you give yourself the option to fail then it’s most likely going to happen.” “When it starts getting a little tough you want to seek that thing that is comfortable to you. But it is important to figure out how to be comfortable and be a little uncomfortable in a setting that is new to you.” “I knew since I was a kid that moving abroad was the next progression in my life. It wasn’t a question of ‘if’ but when and how.” “In some ways it was a chilling experience to see things so quiet but at the same time kind of amazing being able to see these cities in a way most people never have or never will.” “The drive behind my youtube channel was I had gone through so much BS and spent so many sleepless nights. I wanted to put this information out there for people so they knew the good and the bad with traveling abroad.” “Finances are not a motivation in this project whatsoever. The main reason I do it is to help that one person.” “I’m always trying something new with my videos, I love looking back over the last 5 years to see the progression I’ve made in all aspects.”
