Grande Ian!!!

Such good content, should have way more views! It’s a great video thanks for doing it!

Buddy, I was about to do some more search on the history of this place and I found your video on top, clicked on it and yes you are absolutely right, I got unconscious during the hike of going down, not because of the dangerous trek, but because of the continuous hot sunlight, I felt down 2 to 3 times and I literally feel I lost my life, but I was lucky enough to have a friend and he helped me get back to the top... This place has no shadows and going here is really tough> Btw I really liked your style of intro :)

I like the style of your videos and your creativity. Keep it up!

This is honestly such a cool video. I appreciate you putting in time and effort to produce such an inspiring piece. About to embark on a long term travel adventure and this made me even more excited and motivated to explore some of the many beautiful landscapes and cultures this world has to offer! Thank you my man.

I wish I could hit the like button more than once! I'd hit it 10 times for this video - great job! We spent 3 months in Vietnam & Thailand, with a couple weeks in Cambodia in 2023 - and we're going back for 5 months in 2025 (adding India and Nepal). I miss the feeling I felt in Thailand - there's something in the air - the peacefulness and happiness is palpable! You conveyed some powerful feelings! "It's your world. Make yourself at home" ...beautifully done.

Beautifully made video Ian! Well done. I really resonated with the fact of staying longer in a place in order to become more of a local eventually. Hence why I find myself visiting certain countries like Italy and Spain repeatedly; I have connected with their people so much - it almost feels like home now 😁

Thank you for this video. I am a minimalist which gives me the freedom to pick up and go. At 65, slow travel, meeting locals, & gaining experiences are where it’s at for me.

Great video! Incredible how an important valuable information only with few hundred of viewers !! People definitely pick for expending for nothing important than knowing the world, learn for cultures… at the end, that’s the only thing we will take with us.. memories

Love your approach. Very respectful.

This is beautiful! I love your vibe!❤

Thank you for your wisdom! 🙏🏼 in about a year I’m taking my will-be-8yo daughter slow traveling (worldschooling!). Planning to travel by ship, train, and bus, and stay 1-3mos in each country. I don’t know when we will return to the US. Just returning to my own roots as I lived in Asia and traveled in Europe age 2-5 but I was too young to remember much. This is a valuable perspective!

Brilliant editing and camera work. I'd say, the swivel chair going side to side is a bit distracting, but who am I? I don't have a KZbin channel. I think slow travel is the schizzel and many couples are doing videos about this that have a fraction of your camera and editing skills. So I predict you'll do well. I subscribed, swivel notwithstanding. Looking forward to more.

Great message on a perfectly edited video. It deserves many more views!. As a sometimes slow traveler, or doing project work oversees the biggest drawback is that I always end up missing the friendships I make along the way. My Thai, Nepalese, Mongolian ... friends. Even the acquaintances, the lady that serves me the late in the morning or the one that has the best fruit in the market. It takes discipline to just enjoy the moments without attachment.

This has to be one of the best traveling blogs I came across so far and I'm glad I found you because this is really authentic. The retirement blogs that come across are not what I'm looking for they're interesting but they're usually couples. I really enjoyed this Thank you

Great message, wonderful story telling and videography. Thank you.

This video is incredible man, from the cinematography to the sound design. Keep going!

Awesome vid. I have downsized to RV to cut out rent in Canada. Now on a tail end of a 6 month trip across India. What counties were your favorite to explore?

Impressive storytelling, Ian!!

The thing is (im not saying im right this is my view on the topic) I think and view traveling as another "thing" that its a temporary hit of dopamine that will disappear right after you arrive home, I feel the same guilt as traveling as buying a game, wouldn't it be better to invest on yourself with that money to improve the space around yourself? the space that you see day to day, and well... improve yourself, the person you deal with every second, and maybe after that, you will not even need to think about money when traveling, idk its just my view on it.

One more year of school then I'm free 😊

Great 😃

really good stuff

Definitely experiences instead of "stuff"!!!!

I like this.

Looking forward to your future videos.

Loved this! At 64 and 68, we are just beginning our travels outside of 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 so it tempting to move quickly. However, I love the idea of slow travel. “It’s your world. Make yourself at home.” Powerful!

❤ such a beautiful real video. Keep going man.

Absolutely loved this video! I’m definitely interested in slower travel and slow travel once I semi-retire in 5 years. My husband and I have increased our stays from 7 days to 10 with the hopes of doing 2 weeks then 3 weeks then a month. Travel Goals ✈️

Great video! "Goodbye, Things" sounds really interesting! 👏

Va Paffwess Paff 😆Another great video!

Let me scoot right into this comment section...

The part about the stomach and poop problems felt personal... This needs to be addressed more...!! You just got a subscriber!!!

der. you created pro ~😇

Anyone's lucky to get some wisdom from Ian! Super impressed with the consistently beautiful footage you've managed to get across the globe

Insightful! Thanks. I have this place on my bucketlist. Good to hear some advice from someone who has been there!

Do You drink chamarão ou terere?

Beautiful video! I love the vibe of your channel and I am getting into slow travel. You just got a sub from me. Can’t wait to see more of your videos! 😁

A lot of people would take the challenges that you view as opportunities for self improvement, as a reason not to travel. I appreciate your ability to turn what could be seen as a negative to a positive. I also like to find the positive in a situation instead of focusing on the negative. Making these life long memories is absolutely priceless! Keep up the good work.

Really good stuff ! I can relate to it as someone who spend 3 months in New Zealand in the same place (Wanaka). People thought I'm weird ! But it just felt like home and I didn't feel the need to go anywhere else. Hope your channel will grow quickly thanks to this great content. Keep it up.

Amazing

Great video and topic! We've been at it for over 6 months and have picked up on a lot of these same skills. You just got yourself a subscriber from us. Cheers!

I like it ... keep up in same style

😊 it's pretty nice ! On fire man! My wife and I have been travelling for a long period and we're a kind of nomads to find the best match for both of us. Carry on in this way ❤

Amazing advice from a well seasoned explorer!!! Keep sharing your journey!

Beautiful! Great topic and great advice!

Beautiful video, and great commentary about integration with the local people and culture.
