As a person who’s about to graduate college with a deep hatred of the major i spent 4 years on and an all-consuming fear of the future - this video helped ease the tension a little. No plans might mean you find your passion and success within it. Your transparency and story telling style on the pod and the main channel is awesome. Excited to see your next project!

[@michaelsetliff1276]

Thanks for sharing more about your life. You are not a failed person. The testament to a man’s strength is not how many times he fails. It’s how many times and how quickly he gets back to his feet and tries again.

[@discoverindiafilms]

You are a brilliant storyteller; and that is the very reason that I was able to enjoy this 40+ minute podcast just as much as all the videos of your "Ireland to Japan" series! 😊 Would love to see you travel across Africa, hopefully soon!

[@tjma443]

Scary I’m walking in this dudes footsteps but 3 years behind. Hope my shit turns around like yours. Thanks for the content & glad you changed up big dawg !

[@yanille4109]

bro I went for the stand up route too. Honestly the story of me bombing night after night in front of 40 year old despondent alcoholics is funnier than any joke I ever wrote.

[@bandityong8176]

Man you are an inspiration. Just broke up after a 2.5 yr relationship - and hearing your perspectives and seeing your travel gives me hope.

[@ProdCola]

you've genuinely really changed my outlook on life. watching this put me at ease.

Thanks for sharing! Here to listen!

[@itsnickfrench]

Bro this is your best pod yet. Literally sounds like a stand up bit lol

[@smallbrainedpod]

Haha, thanks dude

[@DevinDDuck]

Dude, I hope you read this comment. You are a great man! Once you said that you watched bald and bankrupt etc. I've watched them too, and I prefer you to all of them. Thank god you turned your life around. Now let's rock!

Great stories! A word of advice to anyone who is considering going to Japan... GO! GO NOW! The exchange rate is incredibly favorable right now, especially from the US Dollar $. It is like everything is discounted 30% off (accommodations, food, trains, etc.)

[@maximum_EV]

Your detailed description on life experiences is hilarious. I know it’s serious but you do a great job at making it lighthearted. Stand up comedy could work for you if you work at it for sure. Either way will keep following. Thanks for the great content!

[@mastersamrayy10]

You have the perfect voice and personality for Radio. 👍

[@bumpercrop4182]

35:15 I knew it lmao

[@kristijanceman4418]

The jobs that you did and the life you lead is not "miserable" in any way. You are a hardworking person that saves up money to do what you love. I in many ways relate to you, and i see myself doing exactly what you did in a year or so after i finish school. My dream is also to travel and see the world, and im glad there are people such as yourself that didnt just have their travel money appear out of nowhere. You have given me hope and a headsup for my future travels, thank you so much.

[@curiousmax8531]

Really enjoyed the stories brother. I just turned 27 and it helps hearing stuff like this.

[@drewytravels]

Love your normal content, but you've been killing it with the pods recently!! Keep it up bro

[@scottphris]

the fact that all that happened in a nissan altima somehow made it even funnier

Your impersonation of a French person though 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ChrisSlack]

I signed up to be an extra at an agency in LA and paid them some money and never heard back from them. I also got fired from the Hard Rock for telling some Australians they should’ve tipped. Worked in Japan as an English teacher and quit after 6 months. I had a motorcycle in Japan and that opened up the countryside. I’ve thought seriously about driving for Uber too!

[@smallbrainedpod]

Cool to hear you’ve had so many similar experiences tho

[@emilegirard912]

I just wanted to thank you for being so open on this episode. I found your channel because I’m going to Japan in a month with the GF and started binge watching all your videos. I really got to appreciate you through your travels and somewhat admired your way of living. When you started talking about your drug addiction I was like « oh he’s probably gonna mention his alcohol tendencies or maybe some upper? » but no. You took weed addiction super seriously. And it shook me, because I have a really hard time admitting I have this terrible addiction too. Well since I watched you video, I haven’t touched it. It’s been three days, hoping it’ll continue. Just wanted to say you really inspired me to take this stuff seriously and quit. Thank you

[@ideac.]

this episode was amazing, im honestly happy for you for finding what you truly love in life, some people take longer some people dont and its crazy how much you had to struggle too, early-mid twenties are the hardest part of most people's life tbh

[@BillyGringo]

It would be awesome to hear about your KZbin journey in detail! I've caught bits and pieces in your videos, but it would dope to hear you dive deeper-like your growth in subscribers and any tips you have for aspiring creators. Keep up the amazing work!

[@echosartplanet2210]

I love your videos man, when you visit the reality of countries and cities and every culture is so different but also in many ways the same. Great people, and shitty people. I had some great adventures watching you visit Japan, visit the Middle East, places I may never visit in my lifetime. Hope your doing well, keep these videos going, they inspire me, not to travel, because I’m not a travel person but your videos inspires me to keep going in my artistic abilities, keep working on my KZbin channel. Your awesome Connor, God bless you always. 🙏

[@Nswix]

Thanks for recommending Rolf Potts' "Vagabonding" in another video. It just got delivered and I just started it.

[@mikea8063]

I have enjoyed all your content, you're a natural at this. Looking forward to more of your travels.

[@LeeScratchHarry]

This was a good one. I live in DC and I did not know about the no tipping issue. We always tip. I had dinner at Brasserie Liberte in Georgetown last Saturday and they add an automatic 20% to the bill. The waiter also asked us to give him additional money which was kind of tacky.

[@infowarriorone]

I moved to the Atlanta area from Toronto Canada in the week after 9/11, and that was a huge culture shock for me. I spent much of the first few weeks there sitting in the parking lot of the local Wal-Mart watching the Wal-martians come and go. It's a different world down there. My girlfriend at the time joked about how there were two types of Wal-Mart shoppers, 'the pigs', and 'the cows', based on their body shape (apples and pears). I can only imagine your degree of culture shock as you first ventured into the world. Kudos, respect.

[@tomatoes_251]

Maybe consider the fact that you didn't get jacked on that Uber trip as your tip? :) Love the show. More Sara. You two have a really great dynamic.

[@JesseStLouis]

All your grinding paid off! Congratulations!

[@trinitycruz1780]

dude i found ur videos back in december and i cannot get enough ! I so badly want to start traveling the world espeically japan and potentially move out there when i get the chance and you really sold me on how great japan is. Hopefully when im fiinally planning my trip i can get some advice from you on it.

[@marciestoddard730]

Move like forever? You could get a job teaching there. It's expensive to stay indefinitely anywhere without an income stream. Japan broke me in 10 days and I was in Korea making good money!

[@zuvlet]

I only deliver food with Uber. Here's the tip those young Atlanta rappers never gave you 👍

[@SandyPeace39]

Connor i just watched your videos and became a subscriber. I thoroughly enjoyed all your videos and your story. But im dying to know how many times (if at all) did you get sick on your journey. Whether it was food poisening or otherwise? And if you did get sick how did you cope with this?

[@dertythegrower]

i could talk for hours about this. But yeah, totally relatable in a lot of ways..

[@vinnyplace1269]

Epic story teller and had me dieing 😂. Thats crazy you were a child actor . No wonder you are so natural infront of the camera dawggg.

[@The_Supervillain]

I think office jobs shouldn’t traumatize us. Maybe the system has made work less rewarding financially and physically. That could explain why there are so many 20 and 30somethings that flee soul-crushing, unrewarding labor. It was awesome to hear your story. Love the travel vids, thanks dude!

[@bitzoic4357]

I'm sure this has been answered before but what camera do you use? I've been traveling full-time for the past year and would really like to document more of it. Lots of pictures but not as many videos as I'd have liked. I have a ton of respect for you being able to talk to a camera in public!

[@MotoRide.]

Thank you for this insight. Makes a lot of perspective on your travel videos like Columbia and beyond. I thought your work on farm in Ireland where you started on a bike, was just a joke and you didn't actually work there lol. Also suprised that you got back to regular jobs after your Ireland to Japan trip. Anyway really enjoying your travels and how you go with the flow always. Best episode was hands down with Ahmed, but also liked your hellhole journey of India hahaha. Also was really suprised how Pakistan is completely different and so friendly.. Favourite travel quote: "I've got no idea what am I doing" xD BTW if it's any comfort to you, I earn around 16k USD (around 15.5k Euro) in a eastern EU country working at a soul crushing engineer job..and that is considered OK here lol. Stay safe and keep on being you!

[@majesticuncasual186]

These videos are gold. You tell the stories great, could feel like I was there on each one. Especially the NFL / Rapper Americans. Yikes! Unpopular opinion, but hope people consider the possibility and research themselves, they are very much being conditioned to see 1804 Haiti as the goal, while we're being conditioned to be individualists.

bruh this is literally amazing fucking content lmao

[@VirtualHorizonz]

Hey bro, love ya vids.....on the flip side of tipping from an ozzie POV. The only time I've been to a US state was Hawaii with the family from Japan (wife and I live in Oz). 2 weeks Japan, week in Hawaii this trip. Having unbeatable service food and price in Japan, then heading over to Hawaii. J beer/food prices low for quality, US prices for fast food style food high and service nothing special for pretty average food. It just felt like entitlement culture. We had long waits, food coming out at different times, missed orders. It was the worst service I've ever experienced and people literally complained when we paid the minimum recommended tips. We'd explain how much they farked up and it was just excuses and complaints. But hey, you've travelled. You know this right ; )

[@UncleClam76]

Funny stuff man. I came across your Channel when I solo traveled around for a couple weeks back in October. Great content keep it up!

[@whothegoofball4838]

[@clvrswine]

Dude, you crack me up. I think your comedy is fantastic. I am much older than you, but you seem like a dude from my generation. Also, never pick-up at Walmart (always a short ride with no tip + you unloading the groceries to save time). Also, always long-haul. Don't take the shortest route. You make money on the miles, not the time. Long-haul it every time. If you get lip, pull over and kick 'em out. They can call for another driver if they don't like it.
