[@kiwismurf4536]

staff at the airport were damn cool to help out and be chill

[@alwaysfallingshort]

GHAHAHAHA the security person demanding he doesn't open his eyes! Such great sports.

[@Nik-6675]

You should go to Slovenia next it's a pretty cool country, It is pretty small but it is very diverse and it's overall climate is similar to that of New Zealand.

[@JeffFromTheIRS]

Absolutely zero concern from security and border control haha

[@d.4857]

Please come to the Balkan next ❤️

[@queelan5633]

I was the tour guide on that first tour there where Thomas was blindfolded and just want to say meeting them was amazing! They were so lovely and positive on and off the camera such genuine people, keep spreading positivity!

[@SeekDiscomfort]

QUEELAN! How are you?! Thank you again for taking such good care of us. We loved your energy and seem like everyone else did too! Hope to see you again someday. ❤

[@althurdjerah]

Please swap lives, please.

[@beatrizcascelli]

Queelan, we love you! Please swap lives with Thomas!

[@EvLSkillz]

His reaction was priceless. I`m so happy for him, he deserved this.

[@MarcWard]

So deserving!!

[@AngryIrishMan]

For the man who spends his life making others dreams come true, this was truly deserving. Thomas has such a good heart, this is such a great gift

[@jasperhunter8386]

you pretty much copied 11:18

[@breezy8105]

The moment where Thomas opened his eyes was so magical, I was crying alongside him. So sweet 🥲

[@TheHeadlineOfficial]

It's good thomas's favourite movie was not "The Martian"

[@steaklord6613]

Or 20,000 leagues under the sea

[@kacchan8726]

They would have went to jordan

I feel like these guys could somehow have made that happen too 😄🙌🏽

[@PerkyBird]

Ahhaha

[@skyler749]

I did not signed up to cry ... when Thomas opened his eyes and gasped ... I lost it ❤

We honestly didn’t expect that to be his reaction. We were all crying. 🥹❤️

Platonic friendships are so important. These are loving, supportive, quality friends. All young men need this desperately right now. May all of you find friends like these!

[@bibhushanrajthala]

Just love how everyone of the airport staff were with them

[@ncubesays]

"Welcome to place undisclosed!" is the purest thing ever

[@theone1796]

I genuinely did not expect him to react that way. It was such a beautiful moment and im glad he got to share it with all of us ❤

[@samanthapotenza3997]

I did not expect this video to make me so emotional. Thomas does so much for others, so open, selfless, and kind. To see his wonderful friends reciprocate that back to him on his dream trip and his reaction…. truly priceless❤❤ Thomas I hope you know how deserving you are of this🥰 good job guys!!

[@lanchparty]

Of ALL the adventures Thomas has had in his adult life, this one made him cry tears of joy. How adorable! I had no idea I would be crying over a SD video!

[@arfan_hafiz]

The guide at the shire was so chill, you guys should definitely swap lives haha

[@RL-bw5if]

I would love to see that! A combo of a behind the scenes look at Hobbiton and the tour guide can go on a classic Yes Theory adventure

[@thewalkingdino]

We need more likes for this to happen! We need this

[@ally6909]

yessss i would love to watch that

[@RobertNowland]

Love how Thomas was transported back to such a state of childlike wonder emotion and vulnerability in that moment after what must have been and excruciating build-up. This could easily have been a main channel episode, loved it.

[@devon_morgan]

5:52 I laughed out loud when I heard Stefan say, “a security person is just a friend you haven’t met yet” 😂🤣 Mr. Positivity!

[@AllieKitaguchi]

I love how game everyone was, from the flight attendants, to the tour guides, to the people on the tour!

[@1958zed]

I've watched Thomas' reaction three times and tears welled up each time. His reaction alone was worth every bit of effort you guys put into making this happen for him.

[@sally-annsedgwick1580]

I managed to find you guys! Me and my cousin were on the same tour! Dez took our picture outside of Bag End! ❤ What a day, and what an amazing thing you did!

[@SeekDiscomfort]

Hi again!

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

this speaks volumes about the power of intention. Y'all made it through customs in TWO countries. I love how a customs agent recognizes you. And Thomas! That was huge trust factor. He knows his friends well. I got emotional when he took off his blindfold

[@stassia2363]

I’m lucky enough to work at The Green Dragon Pub at Hobbiton! Best job in the world. I’m so glad you guys enjoyed it so much ❤️

[@traviscampbell9029]

I still can’t believe Steffan wasn’t an original member of the group! Such an amazing person always laughing and smiling.

[@3arthIsGhetto]

They just hadn't found him yet. So glad they, did he's a walking embodiment of Yes Theory 😁

His reaction was the best and most wholesome thing I've ever seen 😄

[@katkat2850]

It's about time Thomas' gets his dream come true. I was crying seeing how genuinely happy his reaction was ❤

[@ashleanicole]

I literally started crying before he even took the blindfold off haha. Was so excited for him! I wish a friend would do something like this for me. Welcome to NZ, bud!!!

[@ItsAgonii]

Seeing Thomas cry hit me a lil different I have no reason why.

[@lttlejordan23]

That initial reaction to seeing Hobbiton for the first time, is about as genuine as a reaction as you can possibly get. You guys truly went above and beyond for Thomas. What a great moment! A perfect example of when you feed your circle with positive energy, that circle will feed you back. You guys have a great circle to count on. 👌

[@Talyuhhh]

I’ve honestly had a really hard couple of weeks but seeing this made me genuinely smile for the first time in a long time. The moment when he took off his blindfold made me gasp and smile so incredibly big! You guys are amazing friends for doing this for him.

[@jesseundernehr5837]

Thomas has done so many amazing things out of the kindness of his heart. He deserves every bit of this!

Well, was not expecting a real tear on my part when Thomas took the blindfolds off.. What a moment..

[@user-hp5hk6jy3n]

That gasp at 12:05 is everything

[@SeekDiscomfort]

Right 😭 I’ve listened to that gasp 100x

[@KelseyJay-kz8mv]

Made me cry 😢 surprise so well done!!

[@eli.sakmar]

Love how Thomas didn’t even question how they did it😂

[@irfaanfarhat]

If you have ever watched LOTR or read those books, you can absolutely feel how amazing of a surprise this must have been for Thomas. I have tears watching him in awe. I can't wait to visit the Shire myself.

[@vanessaserranocabintoy]

Thomas's inner child unleashed. I've never seen him so happy, like in this video. Great job! Best friends ever!

[@christiannoelmendoza6535]

Guys I swear, you should come back in the Philippines!!! No idea what the editors would do here but you'll definitely not regret coming back here!!!

I am crying. ❤. This was so beautiful. When Thomas gasped… MY EYES IMMEDIATELY BEGAN LEAKING

i didnt think that seeing thomas turn into a little kid out of pure happiness would make me cry

[@zelosthewilder]

LOTR trilogy is the best trilogy of all time. I'm glad Thomas was able to go from pissed off to super happy and speechless in a matter of seconds. I also would love to go to the Shire someday!

[@annemacleod1421]

Watching Thomas cry like a child in my home country of Aotearoa is the best….so glad you guys tricked and surprised him …and gave him such joy…it’s well deserved…a shout out to all the folks who played along with the secret. 😊😊🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ

[@louvie1066]

PLEASE do this with more people, the reaction of passengers, airport security and air hostesses was freaking adorable, and pretty much the whole team diserves their dream vacation

[@Haley-ne6or]

This was probably one of my favorite videos that you guys have ever done. I could not stop laughing the entire way through and did NOT expect his reaction to be so emotional and heartwarming.

[@em__uhlee]

you guys really DID THAT. the best editors and friends

[@rebaltcigar]

You know he is a big fan when he instantly knew where they were. His reaction is priceless.

[@evalammers3131]

Was not expecting to cry over this, but as a massive LotR fan myself seeing Thomas's wonder when he opened his eyes... HERE COME THE WATERWORKS - what an incredible surprise!

[@royce8]

What a beautiful and magical moment, experiencing the real and raw joy and emotions from Thomas was beautiful and brought me to tears. Your channel brings me on experience I will never get to have but you all give us the opportunity to see the world in a new way and find our own ways to Seek Discomfort! Thank you for doing this. I would love to see you travel anywhere. I always enjoy when people show us the hidden dema of the world and even the US. I would love to have Thomas talk us though his experience of this trip and his thoughts along the way. What are your top memories from the trip?

[@biancarosey]

I keep rewatching his reaction & every time I cry, it never fails 😭

Thomas’ smile was so genuine, feels like it had been a while, such a relief to see it!

[@evaa.333]

Seeing Thomas's reaction was priceless. Having been to the Shire myself I can also totally understand it. I almost cried and I actually knew I would be going there. The whole movie set just has such a beautiful and serene feeling.

[@althurdjerah]

Crying of spontaneous happiness, with sobs and weird faces, especially not caring what people around you think of, is the most releasing thing could ever happen in someone's adult life. 🤗 I am super glad you guys captured this amazing reaction and gave us back that feeling of unconditional happiness, that most of us keep locked inside our inner child. 🥰Thank you for this beautiful episode. Love from Bucharest.

[@KRSims-tr7zj]

I love that the whole bus tour was hanging back to watch this moment, too

There are lots of interesting things to do here like bungee jumping off a bridge overlooking the Jordan River, exploring the Dead Sea Sinkholes, hiking up Masada for sunrise over the Dead Sea, touring Solomon's Mines in Timna Park or dining at an undersea restaurant in Eilat. You can also visit Harry Potter's grave (Private Harry Potter).

[@lenima]

Had to see it 2 times in one go. A fantastic "anything is possible" story. The fab cooperation of everyone who crossed your path, you guys intended love, and you got supported by love all the way through. So beautiful, and the high peek when Thomas sees the outcome of the long blindfold struggle, that he is in his dream, to witness his reaction is priceless. I am going to rewatch this many more times for sure. Well done you guys, congrats! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@jetjudson4642]
