10 LESSONS learned from 10 YEARS A NOMAD

[@tltravel]

"people are not their governments" so so true. One of my most valuable travel lessons learned.

[@maxtonasher7080]

pro tip: you can watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@trevorares7668]

@Maxton Asher Yea, have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself =)

[@RunTheAtlas]

3:30 I almost want to say I'm Canadian too just to avoid talking about Trump and other awkward political conversations abroad! But it's also a learning moment to teach others about our government and its quirks so they don't continue to stereotype us.

[@weekendwank]

An American guy said something similar about being "Canadian" I told him off and said he shouldn't be ashamed to say he is American. Only ignorant people think that everyone in a country shares the same view as their government and as you said good teaching moment if they do!

[@scottman895]

This was a very enjoyable video, and Matt makes a lot of excellent points especially about not judging a country by its government. I tell this to one of my friends all the time because it is so true. I feel that the people of a nation, not the government, truly represent the country and that a government should not deter a traveller from visiting that country, meeting new people, and making unforgettable memories!

[@EmilyClaireDaly]

This video feels like a masterclass/workshop/therapy session from the best in the business! 😍 I’m trying to work hard to reach your level one day too! I’m currently making videos about working as a tour guide in Europe this summer.

[@heynadine]

hehe :) glad you enjoyed!! have a great time in europe this summer

[@nomadicmatt]

Glad you liked it!

[@nuitNo.6]

It's a pretty shit reason not to go to America just because they don't like Trump, haha

[@nomadicmatt]

I agree!

[@Boondockabillies]

We that love President Trump are very welcoming to visitors and we're nice people. Most Americans did vote Trump and we're soaring economically because of it.

[@WhoaNellyJake]

@@Boondockabillies true, true

[@ahhitskatie9094]

Agreed! A good chunk of europeans were quite hostile towards me on my last trip to Europe and the ME because of our current president. I wonder if they would treat people from Afghanistan the same way they do Americans.

[@nuitNo.6]

@@ahhitskatie9094 We have many refugees from Afghanistan in EU due to USA. Honestly Afghani are very humble people, while Turkish get into gangs and ghetto's, I guess they are just hobby muslims, you know like when a person is christian for the culture but don't actually believe in gods, because I just can't understand how such a toxic culture (which I have seen upfront many times, I've been assaulted by these turkish people several times just for talking back when they talk shit, they don't have the mental surplus to respond logically to disrespect), can call themselves muslims. I'm really interested in the muslim world or just generally different cultures like Russia and China, but too big of a chunk of Turkish people sadly just can't run from their temper, it's just facts.

[@leono7380]

The guy's got a terrible pronunciation. Besides, governments are temporary, but things that got started under a particular government are not temporary.

[@traveling_marie9777]

Love watching your vlog! I am getting ready for around the world trip for 10 months in 2020. Yikes! But your videos have helped amnesty 👌

[@simondavey7787]

Just ordered Matt’s book. I’m looking forward to reading it. Nadine, it’s been a while. I always feel uplifted after your videos. Much love from a grey Heathrow!

[@alvarodanielricaurtemaldon3196]

Thank u so much, i am from Colombia and I am so glad because i am learnig English with your videos, i hope you make all your dreams. I would like to meet u!!!

[@darlingcat]

I placed a hold to read your book from the library there's 11 people ahead of me you're very popular at my library

[@derekcolman]

I definitely agree about communication beyond the language barrier. I was in Paris with my wife who got sick, and had to go to bed in late afternoon, leaving me with nothing to do. I went into a small local bar where nobody spoke English, then an old guy came in and sat next to me. Even though I know a little French, I couldn't understand anything he said, and he couldn't understand my schoolboy French. Nevertheless we managed to converse for about an hour purely by gestures and facial expressions as we bought each other beers. He told me about his many ailments, as old people often do, and I sympathised. It was truly surreal.

[@lanasa265]

I love that!!

[@brittanyhaworth6051]

that's so cool!!!

[@mhoney83]

I don't agree with what he says about when your in your home town and if you are miserable or lonely, you will be the same abroad? That is so untrue. Why would I be miserable in Italy or Japan? So much to see and explore. It's a challenge to conquer the city and the streets.

[@nomadicmatt]

You take your emotional baggage with you. It's not about what you are doing it's about how you are as a person and what you feel in your heart. The only that has changed is the backdrop. This is a funny video about that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipPanXZod5J1f8k

[@LargeCube]

Thats very interesting. Definitely gonna check out his book if I can find it :) I've been a diginal nomad for last 20months and I am still loving it! Ofc I had some tough times with new & long distance relationships, loneliness etc.. but I would Never Go Back to my life like it was before.. with 9-5 office job, depression and general dissatisfaction with life.

[@MellaLicious]

Love love love. I haven’t traveled for long periods of time, but I have certainly experienced some of the things you guys are talking about

[@davidcostello5318]

Hey great video nadine...I started travling solo since HOL inspired me so I went to Washington state got to Tacoma Seattle Mercer island then went to Spokane and went to Idaho west Idaho and yes alot of us have anxiety so that held me bk but its nice to travel to be free and to do whatever you want and decide your own future...I want to go to Boston or maby vancover it looks like Washington state alot would you reckon vancover would be better than seattle for tourist.? Thank you matt and nadine does matt have a KZbin channel if so what's it called....,? Thank you Nadine and mat...love from ireland...

[@erinapple156]

10 years WOW I've known you that long, I'm going to start telling everyone " I have a friend that went to...and she...

[@heynadine]

heheh totally! it's crazy how fast time goes!

[@rachelpatey1407]

Every single one of these points is gold. I second the travel won't solve your problems!!

[@zenbeth3816]

I just watched your back video. This suggestion is way outside of the box but could be very helpful: Partaking in ayahuasca ceremonies on a regular basis maybe spaced out every few months might actually help your back. Most people think of plant medicine as only being good for ptsd etc but it can help heal tons of physical injuries or reduce pain that you are having. Rythmia in Costa Rica offers trips to youtubers and is medically supervised. I have attended a one week trip there if you have any questions about it.

[@rebeccas9488]

Such a great chat. I really believe in doing things to push yourself and travel is a great way to do that.

[@OurNationalAdventure]

We travel as a family of 5 on Our National Adventure! Loved listening to your interview.

[@mysterytrip4751]

Second this comment. Great Interview and thank you for doing it. Hang Loose😀

[@offthebeatenlife995]

On my first ever international solo trip/UK working holiday and has been amazing so far! Planning as I go. My advice so far would be to break up your hostel stays with the occasional airbnb private room. Hostels after a little while can get to you and I just stayed in an airbnb in Berlin for the same price as a dorm. It was great to have some privacy and quiet for a few nights. Maybe that's just me, but might be the case for you too. Also don't be afraid of getting buses, they aren't that bad and can be booked last minute for pretty reasonable prices. Especially handy in peak season in Europe!

[@stefk]

all great points! agree nice video

[@katerineermishova4166]

You guys are awesome! It's really pleasure to listen you, thank you for this advices)

[@Joe_Edits]

The book sounds incredible I am going to have a look!

[@EdwardMontigu]

Can’t wait to go to Australia and I remember you from your video “Annoying Roommate” video with Olga Kay. You’re so down to earth 🌍

[@heynadine]

Almost a decade ago!

[@EdwardMontigu]

Hey Nadine both of you were the very first KZbinrs I watched without knowing what a KZbinr was

[@heynadine]

@@EdwardMontigu haha that's awesome

[@haroonahmed1036]

I love you both from pakistan

[@hannahisobel_]

Never knew I needed these tips until watching this video!! I am a travel addict and love your channel!

[@heynadine]

Yay!!!

[@heyimglo]

ok is this not peter parker or

[@nicolationcora4454]

Great Video thanks

[@khoahoannguyen428]

I really appreciate your efforts to make incredible videos about adventures, travel tips and so forth. But I just have no idea of why most of ur videos lack of subtitles (I am unable to find the button to turn them on), idk whether it's ur deliberate intention or issues regarding KZbin policies? Hopefully you take it into consideration and i immensely look forward to seeing more of ur upcoming videos

[@kromstm2z5]

i love to travel even though i am a 12 year old i really love to travel can i please be your travel buddy because now i want to visit India

[@SophieLouise528]

Really enjoyed this and could relate to a lot of these points. I actually avoided going to Brunei because of their government but now I'm thinking I should maybe have given it a chance. Thanks for this! :)

[@oldfarmshow]

👍

[@VeganTube]

I am getting ready to do my first long backpacking trip for 8 months or more if I enjoy it. I definitely rewatched many of your videos and read nomadic Matt's book! it was very helpful :) This is also a great and helpful video!

[@heynadine]

yay!!! have a great trip

[@nomadicmatt]

Have fun! Wave from the road!

[@VeganTube]

Matthew Kepnes Hey Nadine thank you! I will also be documenting it all on my channel 😃

[@victoriaverse415]

Weirdest quirk of people that I run across when I travel is I've never been tempted to disavow American. When I tell people anywhere in the world I'm from Texas they literally act like I said I'm from outer space. Way cooler than Canada! Great travel tips guys!

[@WhoaNellyJake]

For those of you that don't wanna pack a first aid kit, there are basic kits you can get that are ultralight (rated ultralight for backpacking and through-hiking) which is what I'd bring. That way it doesn't take up much room and barely weighs anything.

[@camillaholmberg3951]

Hope you're feeling okay ❤ I hope you don't pressure yourself to film a video when you're on the verge of crying. Take care ❤

[@ParyatakParag]

Go travel to see places and cultures, government can be seen on news channels too!!

[@tesco24]

Governments might be temporary but genocides aren't

[@don-dspid2404]

I didn't know you fell into a ditch in India. Congratulation on the book Matt. A true achievement.

Hey Nadine I know this is super random but could you tell us where you got that shirt? You always wear the coolest travel themed tops and I've wondered multiple times where you get them. Also, love the video! Those were some really great tips!

[@heynadine]

hahah Free People :)

[@Anna89Kathrin]

Thx :) I'm gonna check them out right now! :)

[@ahhitskatie9094]

Thank you for visiting Wisconsin, Nadine! It means SO much that you’re showing the world our little underrated corner. Love you long time! 💛

[@cubanphotographers]

thanks for the insights, great tips, but, was he drunk, it gave me the impression that he is drunk , not brusel sprouts. by the way, the trump thing I think is kind of out of place. If I wanted to sell the book to the majority of person, I would make no comment about politics in this hemisphere. BTW, people still want to migrate with or without, like or not dislike trump

[@heynadine]

He wasn’t drunk, it literally was Brussels sprouts, we just ate at a vegan place before and Brussels sprouts are really bad at giving people burps. Happens to me as well!

[@fromchopin]

Hey Nadine! Wanna be my wife & have my kids. Or not have kids.. That would be cooler
