[@JoeBinderBiz]

thank you all for the questions !! Had a load of fun making this, looking forward to the next one :D

[@jomiehospital]

I totally get the fear of missing out part. Personally, that hinders me from moving to a bigger city! My family means a lot to me, and I really love my niece and nephew, I want to document their firsts in everything! Also, as a fellow creator, this is pretty relatable. More Q and A, please. HA! P.S. It's been awhile since I watched a Joe video. I miss you, Binder! Keep safe!!!

[@JoeBinderBiz]

Yahhhhh it's really difficult - my fam say its not that long etc / there's facetime but still. Hmmmm. Yeh I feel you. And thanks :D Miss you too, saw one of your vids the other day and regardless of the language barrier it was very funny (the recent date one)

[@DemolitionDustCloud]

Watched one vlog and then couldn't stop watching! Your comedic timing is so good! Your attitude and general outlook is so refreshing, keep vlogging!

[@DemolitionDustCloud]

and definitely make longer videos!

[@JoeBinderBiz]

wooop! Glad you're enjoying them :D

[@JoeBinderBiz]

will try :D

[@sinnamoun]

Loved this so much! Can't wait for more Q&As 💜

[@JoeBinderBiz]

whoop glad you liked it

[@williamlee9050]

Can't wait for the next Q&A, got my question ready ;)

[@JoeBinderBiz]

[@jomiehospital]

"You crazy kid. GET OUT!" - Joe, 2026

[@JoeBinderBiz]

ahahahahah we'll see, we'll see

[@RoyMuffinStar]

Definitely will still be sticking around Joe! :-) keep doing what you're doing. =D!!

[@JoeBinderBiz]

whooop I'm glad you'll be here!

[@aistesara7519]

You made me smile! haha Cool Q&A, you seem like such a nice guy. Definitely worth more subscribers. Good luck with everything you are doing :)

[@JoeBinderBiz]

whooooopo thanks :) Best of luck with you too !

[@belira]

I'm from Brazil and I already discovered your KZbin Channel. You're so good, I love it 👏🏻❤️

[@JoeBinderBiz]

ah that's awesome ! Hey from the UK :D

[@eightstar619]

You should make a video on your experience on applying to Cambridge: interviews, personal statement, references etc. are topics you can talk about

[@aliceg8120]

Ahh I love the fact you're just going to do your own thing after uni 🙌🏻

[@JoeBinderBiz]

:D Any suggestions for where I should visit? I'm thinking of starting somewhere in Scandinavia...

[@aliceg8120]

+Joe Binder I would (obviously) Defo recommend Copenhagen, Roskilde is good if you're into history and Borreby Castle and Narsaq are just beautiful! ☺️☺️

[@JoeBinderBiz]

yeh think I'll deff go to Copenhagen and will check out the others, thanks :)

[@smae770]

Awesome, thanks for answering!

[@JoeBinderBiz]

Blue-Eyed Viking no prob 🍁🌞🤔💭

[@creativereindeer]

Pace and personability points. Thumbs up. Also very glad your friends came to rescue you (kind of).

[@JoeBinderBiz]

Kind of ?!

[@creativereindeer]

...eventually :P

[@JoeBinderBiz]

lololololol

[@adamgold7783]

definitely do more Q&A vids!!!

[@JoeBinderBiz]

whooop new one out this wed actualllly

[@ManuelaLanza]

Hi Joe! It was nice meeting you yesterday 😎 loved your passion. Cool videos! How did you include your videos on screen like that?

[@JoeBinderBiz]

Was great to meet you too!!! I'm using iMovie, so when you drag one clip over the other when making the video, you have the option to split screen / picture in picture!

[@ManuelaLanza]

Joe Binder cool! I use IMovie too, I´m familiar with that option, but never used it for video, only pix, but how you link it to another video on KZbin? thanks for the inspiration!

[@turquoise346]

Thx for answering enjoyed the video

[@JoeBinderBiz]

Turquoise 34 no prob, thanks for asking it 🔵😄

[@stardoll990]

Thanks for answering. I noticed that you did French A level and got an A* which is amazing well done! Just out of interest do you have any advice for French A level, i want to do it at uni :)

[@JoeBinderBiz]

no prob! Yeh I was obsessed with French / still am. I found some cool french rap music (I'm into rap) to listen to and I was always keen on learning the lyrics which really helped with pronunciation / fluency / confidence. I would also speak French to as many people as possible / have french penpals etc. I basically immersed myself in it in every way possible cos I'm a massive keeno. So perhaps try something similar? Hope that helps in some way :)

[@rafaelkyriakou9603]

Looking forward for a challenge video 😂✌🏻️😜

[@JoeBinderBiz]

what kind of challenge video should I do? 😂

[@rafaelkyriakou9603]

Here are my 4 favourite challenges: 1)Cinnamon Challenge 2)Bean Boozled Challenge 3)Tin Can Challenge 4)Chubby Bunny Challenge Did all of them. You have to try at least one.😜

[@JoeBinderBiz]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting. What's the tin can challenge?

[@IAMRAY]

great video 👍

[@JoeBinderBiz]

thanks Ray :D

[@itsjustbeautyxo]

Hey, recently found your channel and I love it! I was wondering how you managed to get an A* in French as my school have told me that this is basically impossible!

[@JoeBinderBiz]

whhooooop glad you found it :D I got very obsessed with french - hearing it / speaking it, so would practice at every single opportunity I had. I think the difference between an A and an A* is completely down to you and not your teachers as you really need to gooooo for it

[@itsjustbeautyxo]

+Joe Binder thank you! Yeah I found myself a French pen pal and I've visited her twice now- my speaking is good and my listening but my writing is what lets me down unfortunately

[@JoeBinderBiz]

practice makes perfect though so I'd keep at it / go super keen and it will definitely pay off

[@smae770]

I see Penny bae has maintained her looks

[@JoeBinderBiz]

Blue-Eyed Viking yeh she's ite 😂😂

[@mrgee3145]

[@soniadembowska2560]

Great video, I'm seriously considering vlogging now, do you think using my phone is enough ?

[@JoeBinderBiz]

Sonia Dembowska which phone? Definitely will be enough to put yourself out there and try it, then after that you can think about investing in a camera

[@JoeBinderBiz]

Sonia Dembowska 🎥🎥🎥

[@soniadembowska2560]

Joe Binder samsung s7. I've seen some people blog with their iPhone so it seems like it might work :)

[@JoeBinderBiz]

Sonia Dembowska yeh definitely give it a go, I'm sure that would work really well 😇😇
