Can you tell me where you get your t-shirts printed? - The answer is in one of my vlogs...
What steady cam do you use? - A really cheap one from ebay.
Why aren't you training for kayaking anymore? - I see new opportunities everyday, I'm just grabbing them as they appear and keep working hard, right now that's KZbin & Film. I'm happy I made the change!
How long do your vlogs take to edit? - They vary massively, sometimes 1 hour sometimes 6+

[@DavidSchueller]

This guy inspired me to begin daily vlogging for 2015. Going for 365 days, not missing 1.

[@kenzie-anne]

Thank You for letting me into your everyday life! You always say we do so much for you, but you do a lot for me! I have agoraphobia, its mild, but travel, even to the store, is hard for me. Being able to see the world through someone who smiles and is positive and adventurous.. well it motivates me to want to try harder to make my life better and to do more.. So ya, Thank You!

[@TroyVlogsAbroad]

AHHHH two vlogs uploaded!!!! THANK YOU BEN!! #twovlogseveryday haha keep them coming ben!!

[@marksurgeon3088]

Awsome vlog.. to be honest.. I dont realy care if there is music or not. And by all means Ben, I wish the best for you and I think we all do. I am happy that you want to progress with work so if you feel that vloging takes up allot of your time, I dont realy mind if you just do simple edits. And im sure I speak on behalf of most of the people here, We truly want the best for you Ben. You dont have to worry about the minor details or making the vlog perfect. We dont care if the vlog is not a mini movie. You do what you are able to do and we will just have to conform. At the end of the day.. it is your life, we are just witnesses to it. All the best for the future Ben.

[@GeorgeKalous]

Exactly..

[@Frodovia]

You take the words out of my mouth! Either way, with or without music your vlogs are awesome and which is more important: have fun and live your life as you do every day, we will support you in everything you do Ben! Cheers!

[@BeckhamBelieves]

Martin Agreed. Ben's ability at editing sets him apart from all the rest.

[@danielliex31793]

couldn't have said it better! you do what's best for you, ben. we'll be Herr either way. (:

[@danielliex31793]

couldn't have said it better. you do what's best for you, ben. either way, we'll be here. (:

[@Flanker0699]

Just a suggestion Ben, when making coffee it's best to leave the water to go off of the boil for around 20 seconds before pouring it on the coffee (both instant and grains) or you burn the beans and it gives it a bitter flavour. Just though you might like to know as a coffee enthusiast!! Great vlog as well, glad to see you're super happy :)

[@lilprodigyn.s3803]

Double vlog makes me 100% Happy too Ben. :D

[@MagesticSSS]

When Nicole said bring your sausage I died. My god I can't believe he left that in XD

[@connnorbryan]

I posted this a couple of days ago but I think it's more relevant to this video. Ben, you're so inspiring. The way you live for and learn from others is so positive and you have such a motivational approach to life. You live every day to the fullest and you pass your positive vibes onto other people. I watch your videos everyday, not only to stay motivated and inspired but to connect with people from all over the world. Thank you for being such a great person

[@tristanshonat7408]

I personally just enjoy watching you enjoy your life. If that means no music, that is totally fine. As long as you are sharing your happiness and your art with us I think most of us Brownies will be happy. Never let the vlog get in the way of what you are doing. Love You Ben!

[@NinaGrkovic]

I've watched every single video on this channel and I have never thought anything other than that you are a really cool human being with great aspirations and a good eye. So thank you for taking me along with you on your travels and into your life. I love seeing you so happy! Yes, Ben!

[@dannytoner8886]

I think we are all so lucky to have Ben as an inspiration to us all in this KZbin community. It's not often you get someone with such dedication to their channel, and someone who consistently puts out unbelievably good content for us all to enjoy. I'm only 16 and watching your vlogs daily gives me a drive to do as well as I can - so I can live a life like yours in the future Ben! Thanks so much for being so awesome and I hope I can meet you one day too :)

[@genevievecourtney9584]

I'm leaving for cape town on Wednesday and watching these vlogs just make me WAYYY more excited!

[@Averro]

"Bring the sausage tonight, Ben!" Yeah, I see what you did there. ;))

[@chlo-sc5js]

Can't wait for Dan to be back in the vlogs! Love your guys friendship

[@poornimaguru9338]

Your happiness is very contagious Ben! And I love watching your vlogs everyday because you put so much time, effort and dedication into your channel. Not only that, you also have good friendships and family which is something I really admire. It's not everyday you see someone who's so good at what he does and is happy about it.

[@BeckhamBelieves]

I think one of the best inspirations people can take from Ben is that you can only be as happy and as positive as those you surround yourself with.

[@jasonchristyjc2929]

Got a feeling ben will ask the big question this year to Nicole so excited for them ☺️🌈🎊

[@TheDameIntl]

No he wont, she is doing her Masters, they wont get that far until she has finished her studies and knows what she's doing with her life. She's a few years younger than him.

[@BeckhamBelieves]

That isn't even a topic to speculate on. That is their very personal business.

[@elizabethevanskiikka2184]

when you live the simple life, those are my favorite videos!! such a light of inspiration!

[@emv188]

Thank you Ben! Your vlogs are part of my daily happiness as well :) Love your positive attitude and Capetown looks amazing. Looking forward to the summer in chilly Europe.

[@willsmith4572]

I love your vlogs with or without music! And I am really inspired by what you do so thank you for making my day everyday!😀😃😄

[@PinkpeachTess]

i think this is the first time that i've been awake early enough (8:37am here) to be in the under 500 views club. i looove it when you're in cape town because i have a widdle crush on SP (i mean, who doesn't?) and because you always seem to upload when it's my morning meaning i wake up to a mr ben brown vlog. see you tomorrow! xx

[@hollygraham8677]

Really love it when you're in Cape Town! Great friends and new adventures

[@PhotographySuperHero]

Is it gold Leaf Ben ?? Or is it blue and black ?? 😁...

[@Vinny016]

Just stop. Lol.

[@PhotographySuperHero]

Hahaha sorry man, had to be done...

[@L1Ben]

Music or not, your vlogs have been on point lately. Keep it up man!

[@TristanNicoleBrown]

You are the best Ben! I save your vlogs for last to watch because they are my favorite! Here is to happiness!

[@ClaudiasFilms]

Not so long ago I used to envy your constant happiness and positivity. But now I can relate to what you're feeling, I'm not in Cape Town doing what you're doing but I'm so happy with life right now and have been so positive over the past few months which is something that never used to happen! Oh, another amazing vlog Ben!

[@MsCrazymaisie]

Ahh I've missed your vlogs in South Africa! They always bring a smile to my face! I hope one day I can be out there enjoying that beautiful weather :D

[@oisinhiggz1948]

"ok, I'll bring all the sausage.." LOL anyone else pick up on that?

[@LionelJunior]

I guess you've reached that point where people watch your videos because of who you are rather than how you edit your vlogs ;) keep the good work!

[@muuumbaa]

Hey Ben, awesome video! One can really feel your happiness to be back ! These videos, when you're talking a bit, make pretty much fun to watch and give a decent variety :)

[@randomstrawberrydork]

I love the simple edits just as much as the 4-6 hour edits.

[@225Maren]

don't worry about not editing too much! I really enjoyed this vlog for example.. just you talking about your plans and cape town and stuff,, i find these vlogs really interesting and inspiring.. so sometimes less is more, at least that's my opinon ahah (: X

[@lianneevans6505]

So proud of you Ben! I love you like a lot! Glad to see you back with Nicole, love you two! 😘💞

[@ExpatMarshall]

I've been in Korea for 10 months now and seeing you drive through my hometown Big Bay was pretty awesome.

[@huudz5836]

I love when you have cute moments in the vlogs!! So happy you're happy Ben :D OMG Dan is gonna be in the vlog tomorrow I've missed him!!

[@lollypop-ky6ob]

Always enjoy the little things

[@laurenblack5743]

I actually prefer the vlogs without music, I feel the more simple the vlogs are the better. Don't stress yourself over it Ben, whatever makes you happy is more important as it is your channel and you can do whatever you like with it. :)

[@TonysTravels]

We come here for you. Even on your chill days you always bring lots of positivity and drive.

[@hanspotter24]

Your happiness is very infectious Ben, thank you for making amazing content for us! :) x

[@ronniemort]

Looking forward to see where you're going this year x

[@pipw]

i'm vicariously sharing your happiness! such a gorgeous vlog, oh hurry up UK spring/summer

[@killeentravels]

so we should all go to cape town now... seems like an awesome vibe.

[@norahiller9648]

been watching your vlogs since the beginning and I'm still loving them! :) so jealous of the south african sun, not quite that weather in the netherlands right now..

[@JotaHache11]

Ben you look soooo happy now that you are in capetown with your love!

[@makeminealarge1]

Decisions decisions...... I click on to youtube and both Ben and Louis's vlogs are ready to watch.........who else pauses for a second because you can't make your mind up who you want to watch first? I decided to go with Ben' first.....ok love ya bye

[@BeckhamBelieves]

That choice is easy....I'm here. :)

[@bethanytalbot2445]

Seeing you in S. Africa again gives me hope for the summer!

[@jessicac8184]

Two vlogs in one day ! Wooooooo

[@celimendez7620]

Even the vlogs chilling in Cape Town with no music are spectacular. I really enjoy your style, Ben. And it doesn't hurt that you surround yourself with pretty intresting and amazing people, or maybe you just capture the best of everybody. Either way, it makes for some good quality content. Have a nice day. Chau :D

[@darcyrobinson3352]

Ben your vlogs make us happier, thank you :)

[@judy7610]

This morning Jeremy randomly popped up on my Spotify. Then, I was like "Whoa... Jeremy is pretty legit." Haha.

[@sophieshorizon]

i got a subscription to cereal for christmas, sick magazines!

[@keyla965]

love ya Ben !!!! Awesome channel man!

[@nashiyapiracha784]

I visited cape town and kruger two years ago during august and it was one of the best holidays I've had. Would highly recommend both places!

[@annakal8869]

I really appreciate your little movie-like vlogs and i also appreciate vlogs like these because all of them are showing your love of life and motivate me to get my butt out of the door and live. thank you for that Ben and stay true to yourself :-) (and please excuse my bad English :-( )

[@LaurenMakai]

Awesome video as always! I like those lights .

[@SevenRepublic]

I Was feeling so shitty about life and this video made me happy, thanks ben

[@Fie.Franciska]

You're an inspiration Ben, thank you for being you :D I just got my Canon mark 5D iii .. Never thought I would ever be able to effort it! I keep working hard for my dreams :)

[@kiddeauxrozay]

I'm happy whenever you're happy, Ben!

[@celesterose9012]

I love your South Africa vlogs so much more. Not to say i dont like your other vlogs because I do still really like them but, these ones just seem so much happier maybe its because of the sunshine mixed with Nicole and the people but I still enjoy them. With music to be honest yes it is nice to have music and amazing edits, but I dont expect them every single day and I dont think anyone else should. I love your vlogs they are my favourite thing to watch on youtube at the moment and thats saying something.

[@richardduffy9110]

DUDE. you drove past my block of flats in this video, right opposite the good hope center. EPIC. Come chill at the rooftop pool haha

[@ConnorMcGill98]

2nd sunny vlog in a day, dude stop, making me suuuper jealous! i just want nice weather to go shoot stuff :(

[@lelaa807]

Two in one day with these vlogs you are spoiling us benroche

[@Szpaintballer]

Thanks for being a inspiration Ben

[@raissahimawan4166]

Thank you for inspiring ben.. 😊

[@Raym17]

***** So happy to see you happy! Always making me smile you're a great dude!

[@breadrichardson]

I have absolutely no idea where you get the time from Ben? You must have aced the time management subject in primary school because you are unbelievably busy and then still edit...and you always seem to be in such a great mood and have an incredible time 👏 Such an inspiration man! All the best ✌️

[@PeonyandCream]

Can't wait till you go to Zambia and represent my motherland!!

[@ShomYadav]

You happy, you motivated and you keep making awesome films - then you are gonna inspire at least 100k people here! Go my bouy! :D

[@safario_]

love your vlogs ben!😻

[@MatthewMolletVlogs1]

A Ben brown vlog does seem strange with no music but still Frickin awsome none the less.. Fair play to a quick edit now & again tho, I dunno how you manage to edit and upload every single day.. Good work!

[@TarekMarzouki]

I love these chilled Cape Townic Vlogs :D #Awesome

[@jbri1]

Nicole's the best. You're lucky. She should make some videos of her own x

[@Me-vj6ec]

I'm obsessed with interior design these couple of months because I will redisgn my shop next week and i would like to bye lights like that one u bought yesterday. Can u show how is the lighting because i will need few of them. Thank U and your vlogging is awesome, I'm waching u every day.

[@lktbrad]

The expo looked so rad Ben! Does the stand with the prints have a website? The ones that you pick a size and they print out there for you :) looked so sick! x

[@birulondon]

Finally started to watch ur all vlogs . Started by watching louise vlogs. Impressed by u guys india adventure with tuk tuk. This is the 5th episode today.

[@anaisgrigri1345]

Aww Ben you're such a cutie. Seeing you happy makes me happy which is crazy. I love when you're in Cape Town ! Funny though I watched The Wolf Of Wall Street last night !

[@Mirthful-vj7ux]

Loves to you and everybody else!!!

[@phillipdorset]

I'd say it's all about the story & you are a great "storyteller" 😉 The music underlays it and makes it more interesting, but I now how much work it is! Even on my vlogs :D I love Wolf of Wallstreet by the way :D

[@odessajarman7920]

Sounds awesome ben!

[@joshuanesbit]

this makes me happy

[@myrtolefk]

Ben, I'm just happy that you're happy and I don't care if there isn't music in the vlogs or any fancy editing all the time because I know what it feels like to feel pressured to be a certain way and like live up to expectations but not at the cost of like your health or your creativity. Like if you just worked on the vlogs all the time it would just become repetitive. And I always notice like little things that make the vlogs awesome like sequences and stuff and you know just do your thing and what you feel like you have to do to progress because that's what's gonna be reflected in the vlogs. Also I don't think I ever noticed that there wasn't music in anything now that I think about it... (obviously it makes things more awesome when it's there but it's not everything) :)x

[@YesterdaysFuture3]

LOVE SOUTH AFRICAN VLOGS!!

[@daysofdilley]

Are you going to get back into the surfski scene or any other variety of kayak sometime soon!

[@JustineBNZ]

Haha I love Nicole, she's so sassy!

[@skybaby444]

Nicole also seems happier than usual.

[@crystaljames2240]

Can't wait to see Dan!!!!

[@lotikie]

Yeah

[@mikkelguy]

two videos lets goo

[@leia.m]

Keep working hard Ben!

[@MREPS412]

I really do not care about the music or how good the vlog is. You're artistic anyway and it will come out good enough. I just would hate for the vlogs to stop. So as long as that doesn't stop. Do your thing. Inspire people to be better and do better!

[@morejilibean4855]

Like when you were doing that happiness speech(which i loved) and where it's was pretty safe in Cape Town. I remember when you were on the trip and you were taking photos and the cops came and said a person got stabbed over here.

[@jackleahy7133]

Happy for you man!

[@elliex9556]

favourite

[@rpatricknabors]

Thanks for what you had to say about visiting Cape Town. They area looks absolutely gorgeous. Ive been wanting to visit Africa for a long time. Here in the States we hear of the high murder rate in Cape Town. I also want to visit Krueger and Durban.

[@TheCallofdeath123]
