Hey Trevor, long time subscriber from Canada here. I'm glad you found a place, it looks beautiful! I think it's smart to be sharing a village home with other folks living there so you can learn directly from them and their way of life. They seem nice and happy to have you and Ting staying. I noticed that your motivation for food ranging was waning over the past 12 months and I'm glad you found something that motivates you to keep making videos. I'll stay tuned for more.

We were concerned that you stopped making videos but hopefully being burnt out wasn't too bad. Hope you are doing good my friend.

I am really looking forward to you sharing this new adventure with us. It’s great seeing the joy it’s bringing you and the very fact that you’ve chosen to take us on this journey with you is just amazing. I went to culinary school at 28 yrs old …got my associates and then decided to continue my education hands on. There is nothing that can even compare to just getting out there and doing what you love. I learned a lot in the classroom and kitchen labs, but I’ve learned an entire lifetime of information actually cooking for people and my loved ones. I had hands on experience from 13-28 and decided to get some classical training at 28, but getting back in the kitchen is where I found my true joy. Watching you live out your dream is like being able to experience it all over again for myself. So, thank you and I wish you all of the luck and happiness. Much love from an old, semi-retired chef - Pennsylvania, USA. ✌🏻🥰😊
