What’s up brah!! You seem like you’re in a good place right now! I’m happy for you man! Been watching you since the beginning, had a couple questions, did you get rid of Pumbaa? Also do you think you’ll get in contact with Steve or Louie when you’re back home? Just wanna say thanks for all the awesome content you’ve made over the years! I loved all of it! Keep it up man! Take care bro 🤙🏻

[@isabelle9004]

You know you're an OG when you've been here since before Ben moved to South Africa and now he's moving back to the UK🙏 What a full circle moment🦋

[@Tiygatv]

Might even do a canoeing vlog. They were the reason I started watching as I did sprint canoeing 🙏🏻

[@Manorforgeblacksmiths]

Also an OG when you remember watching Ben kayaking🤙🏽✌🏽 peace brother 🙏🏽 good to have you back in the UK!

[@TheJoepepi]

In the meantime remember to work hard, be nice to people and try to not get lost or killed! :)

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Exactly.

[@sempresomnus]

🥹 miss that fr

[@thriveco]

Ah love the early vlogs so much ☺️ been following Ben since day 1!!

[@TomJoeSHOW]

The nostalgia behind this

[@imagineth]

Lol made me reminisce

[@angelalawrencesmith9523]

Started following you while you were originally living in the UK! So crazy how time flies. Best of luck🙏🏼

[@ColorMyLife91]

I am praying for you! I have prayed for you since 2018.

[@benthomas3061]

The body keeps the score is soooo good!! Opened my mind massively

[@Flutterbyby]

100% agree this journey of life, our lows Teaches us things which creates our highs. I’ve slowly softened up my heart with my compassion extending inward as well as outwards having been though burnout/depression/anxiety. I’m also gentle with myself as I learn & heal. Self care is not selfish, it’s our gift to others.

[@dorothyshelton]

I love you so much. You are a lightworker soul. I see it and it makes me smile. Been watching you for years. love your content. I instantly start smiling when I watch you. You have a wonderful vibe and aura Ben. Thank you for sharing your authentic self.

[@benbrown]

🥲♥️🙏🏼

[@mattward3280]

Hope you still have love for snowboarding. Remembering back to one of my favourite vlogs, snowboarding in Banff and lake Louise. Such a vibe.

[@benbrown]

Best sport ever!!! I’ve still got my boards, can’t wait to go again…

[@DoubleEH535]

I lol'ed at the random amazon kettlebell he said was coming. 🤣

[@Jameswood1996]

Ben, I fucking love you and your energy. I’ve watched you since the first ever vlog and watching your journey has been amazing. All love to you and everyone on this channel ❤

[@thriveco]

Since day 1! He's such a great guy

[@user-fo6ze6lo9h]

YAAAAAS Ben love your talkies and your cinematics. I have missed your visual vibes.

[@cantthinkofaname77]

Who remembers when Ben worked in a printing place in the early days?, One of the first to do the shots of keys in locks, car door opening and arty coffee shots

[@benbrown]

Good times!! Love a travel montage, I look forward to doing more!

[@francescamichel1062]

Your authenticity is so beautiful 🙏 I love you ♥️

[@benbrown]

♥️

[@TomBailey2]

Mum walks in & opens the curtains 😆

[@johnmfan]

Remember purchasing the visual vibe t shirts way back when and you continue to delivering sick clothing til this day. Wish you all the best and luck for the future Ben!

[@chrisporter5088]

Coming back to the uk, being in Bournemouth isn’t a bad place to be right now with summer around the corner! It’s a great place to live imo

[@ElizaBez]

Awesome sayings in the end, I’m going to exactly this experience of grieving for my old life right now, shifting doors of new beginnings, leaving what doesn’t fit me anymore including people that can’t see my value, so I end up being blind for it as well and thinking I’m rotten like them. I just wanna transcend, and I’m sure that relaxing through the process to pass this new door will take me there easier and faster. I’m glad you’re back to the UK Ben, you listened to your heart, hope it attends to your calling, it actually already is. LETS GOOOOOO KEEEP MOVVVINGGGGG NEW DOORS!!!

[@elenahogan292]

ben brown, i have a portrait idea for you! you, your lovely locks in french plaits, flowers weaved in to make a flower crown - yay or nay?!

[@benbrown]

I’m down!

[@SisterJanet]

Best of luck with the van life chapter. Enjoy the retreat. The west coast of Scotland is magical at this time of year.

[@alexpriceadventures4709]

It's actually great to see you so happy and positive man! I hope this keeps going for you dude!

[@Ninkovic2052]

One big ❤ for Mom.😊

[@laviestebelle]

Thanks for sharing always inspiring. I love that you’re showing this soft side of you.

[@jeromjbrown]

Great to see you Ben always enjoy hearing your message.

[@naturalflow157]

I have been following your journey for a while. True inspiration you provide for all of us. This internal and personal path you are on is so relatable that I am so glad someone is opening eyes for others. Sending you much love.

[@mogumogu3686]

Sweet prince Ben...always a source of positive energy and joy. May God Bless you my friend. Take care and enjoy your life to the fullest.🙏🙏😊👍👍

[@vishsolo2879]

Yes mate Bournemouth is absolutely gorgeous I recently moved here as well from London, and thanks to universe for placing me here

[@Jess-xk7rx]

Resonating with so much of what you’re saying, I’m also going through some stuff and looking to the next chapter and this chat at the end helped me relax my shoulders and think again. Enjoy the retreat, would be there if I wasn’t already away, looking for something similar in September

[@theshiv3296]

Been following you for many years and its crazy seeing you now living in Bournemouth! Lived here all my life. Not a lot of bad you could say about this place

[@ashxrkive]

Wow this hit me hard today and it's exactly what I needed. For so long I have felt guilty, I felt guilty if I put my own needs before the needs of others and have only very recently started putting myself and my health first and foremost, above everything and everyone else and it's hard and a strange feeling but it feels so freeing and the only way is up from here I believe. Thank you for this Ben and good luck with the van! - An OG Brownie since 2013 ✌

[@katebarnard9847]

Relate to this, and your experiences for the last few years, so much. It's hard work but it's so, so good. Thanks for sharing what you do, it really helps to know other souls are going through the same.

[@JefferyRThomas]

The first week of June is been a tough one for me for 28 years now… reasons… Really needed this positivity. Your energy vibes bring more joy to others than I think you’ll ever realize. Thank you, brother 🙏🏼✌🏼 Good seeing mum too (she’s so damn cute)

[@athenallywelyn6466]

Hi Ben and community. Firstly, thank you for the silliness, only want more of this for everyone. Our quirks are beautiful spirit. Resonate with everything you’ve shared and these shadow reflections are on such a scale that it can bring relief for individuals to know they’re not alone. I’m an ex-van lifer and used to live in SA. I’m currently in south west England and I feel called to stay here, though often face resistance as I feel so much for SA. Facing acceptance again and again. I wonder if there’s ways to bring this community together in the UK 🤍 Much love!

[@mld8]

Been a while since I watched, Ben. Hope you've been well. Arctic visual vibes possibly my favourite video ever created, gives me the chills every time - still got one of your prints on the wall!

[@thriveco]

Loved his Arctic adventures, but also the roadtrips in Pumba!

[@meghanlozada]

I continue to love your vibes all these years later of watching you, Ben. I also am weird to the core of my very being 😵‍💫 stay weird!

[@user-rt8cs6ry1b]

Great words at the end there Benny boy

[@loulunapersonal]

The energy in this vlog was a real up lifter. Love to see it Ben x

[@LachlanElliott9]

great to have you back in the UK Ben especially if here is where you are being called ! Hopefully we cross paths on our van adventures one day !

[@lukehamann333]

Your final point about loss and grief is unbelievably poignant. You are a profound speaker.

[@riamadhuri6587]

Do more of these videos Ben you have no idea how many people it helps ❤️i need more of these videos it really helps my healing process too 🫶🏽

[@kellyraeparker3275]

I really needed to hear this right now. Thank you 🙏 I can really resonate with the stronger but softer ❤️

[@ThomCurley]

Bless you, Ben. So nice to re-connect. Loving where you are at. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@DtotheAtotheNtotheI]

Dear, kind Ben, to me, this little talk is worth a lot. I feel grounded and reassured and motivated. Thank you 🙏🏼 i definetly want to represent and contribute through T-Shirts. Maybe there's a possibility you'll make almost too many? Like a big big stock? That should give you a good turn around for the funds. I still wear the moon and wolf shirt on special occasions!

[@CrumpleStilton]

Ben, welcome back to the UK! It’s inspirational how open you are to being “you” on camera. Keep on finding your path, you’re an inspiration. Also the visual vibes clips are ridiculous, your film work is a joke 🔥

[@oliviajoanlowe]

So good to hear 😀

[@theindieprojects]

Good luck with the vanlife dude 🙏

[@jamesjameson4566]

He's not part of some KZbin fad, he ain't doin "vanlife" cmon man

[@peacejustice6355]

Absolutely true! Love thy self first and the love will spread to others. I’ve been giving, giving and find myself deflated. Thank you Ben for your discernment, knowledge and wisdom. I hope another video will be coming out soon. Meanwhile take care and GOD BLESS❣️🙏🏼🫶🏼

[@danil6408]

This is the kind of video I needed today 💖 glad to see you back in the UK. Good luck on van life! That would be really sick! 🤙🏼 good vibes all the way from Toronto! 🙏🏻

[@alexbarnett8085]

Boy do I look forward to your videos , exactly these sort of videos , great book recommendations and can’t wait to hear more about van updates💯🚐

[@kathyandjoel]

Compassion is strength. ♥️

[@missj.d9187]

First time I've ever viewed this guy but thank you for making me realise I could never date a guy with better hair than me! Good luck with everything.

[@ghastwriter]

2:35 that cut is awesome Ben!

[@tomreadsthings7145]

So pleased you are back in the UK welcome home

[@EricRussell97]

good luck with your fresh start back in the UK bro! I still have your old sticker on my first car dash haha

[@rorysaints]

Good to see you Ben thanks for that dude, refreshing. Peace man

[@Mrnickycullen]

Brilliant little treats these uploads are!

[@chrisberney]

Loved the Vlog Ben

[@MattVorn]

Felt like the ‘old ben’ is really coming through in this video which I love. Gives me a lot of nostalgia to watching the blogs back in the day!

[@PettieBettie]

Stop trying to make Old Ben happen.

[@benbrown]

There are good and bad parts of old Ben and I feel like the good parts are just who I am so they’ll come with me forever!

[@masteringfemininepower]

Body Keeps The Score is intense and should come with a trigger warning, he speaks very frankly about major traumatic things his patients went through as it’s more of an academic book, brave yourself.

[@ticktock5108]

Steve and all the other gang back in the videos now And penny boarding and the coffee shop dam them all vlogs was good 🔥🔥

[@SamSmithVev0]

Oh wow. Hope you are doing well man. Keep her lit. Life is a bit wild for you atm.

[@RusTheThracian]

Any vid always puts a smile on my face, sending you wavey vibrations brother! ❤️

[@alfredoistic]

Hey Ben what a beautiful message, I love this new version of you now , U ARE so awake, I remember when I met you here in Toronto so briefly back in 2014 and I’m still having that selfie, haha wow it’s amazing how we evolved, and guess what? I’m going to UK this summer as well , gonna stay there for a month , I hope to have another second chance to take another selfie, LOL cheers from Toronto, namaste brother I LOVE U🙏🏼

[@thriveco]

It'll be amazing to have you back in the UK!! 🥳🥳 Let's grab a coffee dude

[@juliustravels]

Will continue to watch you no matter were you live. Love your visual vibes 👍

[@SvenVee]

Appreciate the update and relaxed vibe man. Looking forward to whatever comes next. The van thing sounds nice as well 🙌

[@loislyons3724]

Ben, so excited for this next chapter. You are like a willow, very bendy, but you don't break. Like Gumby! I have loved watching your journey in SA, but am so excited to see what you get up to now. I know Alfie and Georgie must be over the moon to have you back.🐶🐶

[@dutchdroneadventures]

Much exciting things Benjam! Good luck with Everything bro! And looking forward to the new videos on the channel. And thanks for sharing this video Ben! Happy to see you are so excited today😁😁

[@JennieHolliday]

Can’t believe your in Bournemouth! I remember meeting you couple times in surrey and being in the vlogs, as thats where I live. But currently in Bournemouth too as I have just finished my degree here! ❤️ Good to see you still making content and excited to future content😊

[@phynx2006]

Got to love the name 🤗

[@jamesjameson4566]

You're*

[@jemmamcleod4088]

Any way you can list off the books you're reading in the description 🥰. Would love to add these to my reading list for the year! Much love mate

[@gchandler10]

Hey Ben, as a fellow Pisces from the UK, with a big heart and who is also a creative, I always get kinda creeped out whenever you upload. You seem to upload a video whenever I feel myself falling back into that existential crisis, and your message always seems to hit me hard, as though it is just my inner self reminding me. I see a lot of myself in you actually, even down to some of your mannerisms and quirks, so when you're being weird on camera, it reminds me to keep hold of that inner weirdness that ultimately makes me me. All this to say, I really appreciate your videos- now it's time to get out of this creative rut I've been in lately, and MAKE SOMETHING! :)

[@benbrown]

Brother Greg, I appreciate your comment, thank you, happy to hear you’re nurturing that true unique weirdness, life is too short to not make it 80% comedy ;)

[@jamesjameson4566]

Self praise is no praise

[@kilianhoppner8707]

positive vibrations back brother ❤️

[@DanUnplanned]

Van life sounds amazing but I’d trade the uk for Europe if I could in a heartbeat

[@pete_90]

👍🏻

[@adventurewithandrew9368]

Whenever you get your van, I’d love to show you around the beautiful valley of Rossendale in Lancashire!

[@Chris-Roberts]

New vids new channel lovin this Ben been watching forever keep it coming 👏👏👏

[@johnirvineimages]

Have a great summer, Ben. Vanlife would be fantastic for you

[@marguiWaterland]

Dear human that's reading this, we may not know each other, but I wish you all the best in life!✨

[@meganandbradley8695]

I appreciate you Ben! Watched all your vlogs from Canada and the UK and it inspired me to start my own vlog channel just a few weeks ago when I decided to propose to my now fiancé! :) keep up the good work!

[@cosmodog4845]

Welcome home Ben.

[@foxtrotvictorsix8996]

My god I would NOT want to be sitting next to Ben on a long journey

[@benbrown]

Why not?

[@alexmera94]

Hey Ben, Great video as always! Great to heard that you are moving back to the UK and that things are doing well for you here. Will you be coming to London any time soon. Not sure if youtubers still do like meet ups but be great to do so! All my best 👍

[@sarahscandi2717]

You mentioned things keep coming to you now you are back in the UK which is amazing! Do you have any manifestation books/resources recommendations? I recently quite my job which wasn’t serving me and feels so good to leave. Looking forward to the next chapter of my life. Don’t stop being weird Ben ✌️

[@thriveco]

Good luck on your new chapter, very exciting!

[@evoo6]

12:00 good message, spot on. 👍💚

[@luceabbott]

I love otto house!! Reminds me of being at uni in Bournemouth 😁😁

[@luvyou-baby]

please mention in your next vlog, if your girlfriend is moving to the UK, or if you broke up. maybe its too personal and hard to talk about so i understand if you rather not mention it. im surprised no one asked this question yet in the comments

[@gabefill5262]

Yo...... Yo, this video hits home, and was needed, rapidly finding out how transitional periods put you on your arse, but this is pure fuel for my journey THANK YOU 🙏🌱

[@Mrnickycullen]

P.S. love the when you show us what books you’re reading!

[@Mcirish22]

Yesssss. I’ve missed the Sir Ben Visual Vibes!!!!

[@MarioKstgr]

I like your talky videos, especially this one. It's like meeting an old friend although we never met :-)

[@phynx2006]

Since I live in Toronto I have to give you two thumbs up on the BB Cap 👍👍

[@samswales1873]

Love seeing this and watching for so many years, since the penny board days haha. It's almost like looking back on my own life, how much has changed for us all. Excited for things to come

[@hannahrempel]

love you Ben

[@Emma-ci7ps]

Hey Ben! Would you be open to doing more guided meditations? 😊🙏🏼

[@masteringfemininepower]

The audio on this is so lush, do you run the mic through anything,or just straight to your laptop?

[@sonny1996uk]

Loved this video Ben, been here since day 1. Keep it up brother 🙏😀

[@chavelly1020]

Body keeps the score is a very good book it’s in my field defo recommend

[@Maria-yp6rf]

glad you're back in the UK. Where is Fran?

[@0sba]

Question about Skillshare: Are creators that share their guides here, payed better than for example if they were to upload their videos to KZbin?

[@benbrown]

Great question, I believe they are paid very well yes, especially these days!

[@0sba]

@@benbrown Alright cool, thx. Your hair is looking amazing btw :D

[@JGO888]

Ben this message was so needed and so appreciated, thank you. Wish you all the best with your transition back to the UK 🕊

[@ChristinaSears]

LOVE YOUR HAT!! I'm 45 min away from Toronto in Hamilton, the waterfall capital of the world lol :) Christina
