solo travel is extremely difficult sometimes, but the good definitely outweighs the bad - absolutely LOVE your videos!

[@TahJetiyamon]

OMG Jay... i'm not dreaming as seeing your comment here, yeah? LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !

[@colinkam7868]

An absolutely beautiful and self reflective episode with lovely sights to add. The 4 phases of your trip is so relatable to us when we travel SOLO... Phase 1, the euphoria of adventure n uncertainty to a destination. Phase 2, the appreciation of humanity & friendship, the kindness of the human soul, gratitude. Phase 3, the realization to travelling solo, solitude & loneliness, the inability to share the joys, laughter, the good & bad, at that particular moment. Phase 4, Self Reflection n making amends to remedy what's missing.... just my thoughts. Nonetheless, Tah, you always keep this Vlog real.... Thank you. Always looking forward to your posting. Stay safe n be who you are. 😉

[@4abetteru]

Very nice summation of Tah's 4 phases of travel and they are reaffirmed by the comments of other solo travelers. It reflects that life has a rhythm whether you are traveling or not. Thank you for sharing.

[@TahJetiyamon]

so glad you found it relatable - and you summarize that so well, "the appreciation of humanity" - i love this. Thank you for watching:)

[@fonsiabroad]

I've been traveling solo for 4 years now and I can totally relate to the different phases you mentioned. Thank you for sharing your story and for shining a light on those difficult moments too! I feel like the best thing about solo traveling (apart from the people you meet) are the lessons and these difficult times are so important in order to truly learn from the experience. Nice to e-meet you, Tah!

[@Traveler-PKK]

Hostels are great to meet and hook up with people older and younger. I usually stay in an Airbnb or a hotel by myself but I do enjoy staying in a Hostel, espeically if I can get my own room.

[@TahJetiyamon]

Sameeee, exactly sammmmmmmme !!!

[@LaKarencitaMX]

I am sure you're having incredible experiences, no matter how good or 'painful' they could be. It's been very exciting seeing your adventures my 'Bo'. Let's celebrate for your new projects and your film 🎥 to be presented in the Guangzhou festival.

[@LaKarencitaMX]

Also, very nice shots. I didn't tell but they turned out so great.

[@TahJetiyamon]

Caguama + Salsa power 😳

[@TravelInteresante]

When the video started I was like, "Wait a second, this is my voice!" :) We love you Tah, like I always say, this is your journey, hope you enjoy every second of it. Can't wait to reunite again when we figure out our lives very soon.

[@TahJetiyamon]

That’s yourrrrr voice !!! Can’t wait to hear your voice again, and I miss your face so badly 🥺🥺

[@SyifaAdriana]

So proud of you, Tah. This video reminds me of my early solo travel journey back in 2013-2014. Enjoy your growth and inner exploration 🧡

[@TravelInteresante]

Miss you Syifa ♥ I will email you today ;)

[@SyifaAdriana]

​@@TravelInteresante Gokce and Steve, glad to hear from you again. Miss you both too hope you have been well. I left Istanbul for good a few weeks ago ❤️

[@TahJetiyamon]

Syifaaaa ! so glad to see your message. Yes, i have learned a lot from this trip. Hope you are well:)

[@johnnychannel7824]

Solo travel you have to deal with lonely but you have freedom to do whatever you want. Since I have lived alone with no friends, I can see I could do what I wanted to do for my life. When you are alone you only focus on yourself, it helps you to improve yourself a lot. The more you have people around the more you are distracted from your purposes.

[@daveduffy2292]

When I travel I love to travel alone. My longest trip was only for 12 weeks but I loved it. I understand how you feel. You are a true traveler. Love your videos

[@TahJetiyamon]

Thank you:) pros and cons to all kind of travel but i do think there are more pros than cons when it comes to solotraveling :)

[@damonmorris5874]

Wow awesome video Tah! I’m so glad to see you push through your uncomfortable thoughts and moving forward. I’m proud to see you keep pushing forward. I hope you continue with your solo travel it’s good for you and to know you can do it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@TahJetiyamon]

I have learned a lot of solo traveling, also very joyful & meaningful to me - I don’t think I will stop doing that, thank you so much 😊

[@gordonliu3972]

I can relate to what you said about needing to resist the urge to withdraw from people. You're a good example Tah, and an inspiration. Thanks for your beautiful videos.

[@TahJetiyamon]

i don't know if that is because part of the introvert in me or not haha

[@justgigi9545]

Your cinematic style makes me wish it never ends. I feel SO drawn in, SO connected. You're amazing. 🥰

[@TahJetiyamon]

so glad you feel drawn in and connected - thank you so much for the support:)

[@mikem9433]

As always I love your skill in blending your story and unique style! I started solo travel in 2015 and experienced everything you mentioned and its life changing for those willing to embrace the challenge. Now having traveled solo for 6 yrs the most important aspect is the interactions with strangers that will be new friends. Solo traveller's are approachable on a totally different level than non-solo. I know many traveller's (couples) that never have the same interactions that I have regularly. Doesn't matter if I'm camping or in a hostel people will be interested in sharing their story and hearing mine. Thank you for you hard work and amazing creation.

[@paulcolbert8576]

I’m so glad you have resurfaced. Was beginning to worry. We grow and transform throughout our lives. Many ups and downs.

[@TahJetiyamon]

FACT! up and down in life is what make me appreciate life even more:)

[@TravelLikeWater]

It's the ebbs and flow of not only traveling but life. Take it day by day and take it as it comes, in the end its what you did, what you saw and what you experienced that makes it so authentically you. Another classic video.

[@TahJetiyamon]

totally agree !

[@maicopaico1]

We are truly blessed to have an opportunity to live under the stars. The discovery of the soul sometimes begin with experiences we take in our physical presence. I see thus far on your travels not just a journey you are taking in this world but also a journey within you to seek the light within yourself. They say that an adventure starts with one step. I say it starts with a wonder. You are in the right place at the right time. May the stars and wonders guide you safely in your journey.

[@TahJetiyamon]

i like your attitude, i can sense extreme positive vibrational frequency:)

[@markamos5207]

Another beautiful video Tah!! Thank you so much for sharing your time in Mexico with all of us!! Definitely looking forward to your next video!! Be safe out there 🙏

[@TahJetiyamon]

thank you so much !:)

[@nicolasrobitaille3259]

My solo trips are among the ones I have the greatest memories but I also remember how difficult it is when you have nobody to share the moment. It is not for everybody but it is a great life experience. I fully agree with you that it is easier to travel with someone else but at the same time, it forces you to establish contact with the others.

[@timelesstravelclub6240]

I am joining the conversation late but I'm just seeing your videos in Mexico. I too am a solo traveler in Mexico and have been doing so for many many years. However, I have only started sharing my travels thru video for the last couple of years. It's easier said than done but its important to appreciate your journey now since you will view it as personal growth later. But you probably already know that. Those lonely hours you have spent will not surface in your memory as much as the joy and all the special moments you have captured in your incredible videos. Sorry for the ramble. Like I said, I just found your channel and had a lot to catch up on. Cuítate mucho.

[@timb1706]

Love the way you tell it as it is. Gives your videos more feeling and easy to relate to. We all have ups and downs. Keep up the great work.

[@TahJetiyamon]

can't be all bad and can't be all good, thank you, i appreciated it !:)

[@Traveler-PKK]

It makes the world more open. I find this to be true. I am not as closed as I would be if traveling with someone.

[@WITYTRAVELS]

You are so very brave and you obviously have the personality and the curiosity to make the most of solo travel. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs of solo travel with us.

[@TahJetiyamon]

awww thanks guys, i have learned along the way !:)

[@violetapalafox8570]

It was a pleasure to meet you, luck on your next trips

[@TahJetiyamon]

Such a masterpiece, Tah! Thanks for sharing your story, it is inspiring as always

Awwww Brandon ! love you and everyone at the hostel - 13 Cielos is a very meaningful place for me, please tell Vlad i say hi and thank you for the Sauce !:)

[@sdbtours9114]

Another amazing journey. I know how traveling alone can leave you feeling down. The thing is to find what brings you out of the rut. You do that very well. Thanks for bringing us to more areas of the world I’ve never heard of. Remember you travel with those that love you and what you do. Many blessings in all your travels.

[@TahJetiyamon]

this is very encouraging, thank you !:)

[@liro_mngbt]

Dear Tah, your level of personal storytelling is really second to none! It’s captivating, powerful and soulful and really something I look forward to always. It’s amazing how you show us your humanity through these phases, you’re really incredible! Thank you for sharing this. 🙏 As the world is opening up, solo traveling is what I plan to do. Phase 3 is the one I fear the most and it’s the video I’m currently making and that’s why it’s still taking some time to finish. But this definitely serves as an inspiration!!! 🧡

[@TahJetiyamon]

Awwww this means so much to me. Honestly i realise that phase 3 is part of the process in not just traveling but life in general - no way that we gonna be up up up forever - phase 3 actually makes me appreciated life and the ups in life even more - we grow from it ! Cheers !:)

[@liro_mngbt]

@@TahJetiyamon you are 10000% absolutely correct Tah!!! Accept the phase 3 and grow from it! 💪 thank you Tah for putting that into perspective. You're the best!!!! 🤗

[@jesseinasia]

Twenty years ago I quit my job, bought a backpack and traveled solo for six months. Experienced all the same ups and downs as you so beautifully describe. Spent all my savings. Twenty years later, I recognize it as the smartest thing I ever did. Cheers, Tah!

[@TahJetiyamon]

i like when you say that it's the smartest thing you ever did. Cheers !:)

[@fernandomayoceprian3861]

Traveling alone is very enriching, although sometimes you miss things along the way, you will always meet lovely people, keep showing us your fantastic videos🙏

[@TahJetiyamon]

totally agree, very enriching experience !:)

[@emeljurd3231]

Fantastic quality video Tah! ❤️

[@TahJetiyamon]

thank you so much !:)

[@dragginawaggin]

Nice. Very well done Tah. The thing I liked most is it is so noncommercial unlike "others" I have watched. Hope you have a great time traveling and look forward to more. Thanks again. Your style is pretty flawless.

[@TahJetiyamon]

thank you so much, gotta work on the next one !:)

[@brianbaxter3913]

Awesome video as always Tah. Some times it is good to travel alone. Like you say you see more as you can go at your own pace but also nice to have company to share but then sometimes you miss the little things. Life is strange sometimes and we have to make the best of it. I love to explore new places and learn about those places. When I have been in the Philippines mostly I had someone to hang out with and show me things. When I was alone I would go back over some of the places and then see things I missed the first time. You look so happy in your videos and I love your beautiful smile. Will be waiting for you next adventure. Keep smiling and stay safe.

[@TahJetiyamon]

learning about things while traveling is what i love most, especially when it comes to learning directly from local - thank you !:)

[@brianbaxter3913]

@@TahJetiyamon You are right it is good to learn from the local people. I chat with several people from the Philippines and have traveled there 3 times and spent time with some friends there. It is great to have a local person take you places and explain things. I have learned a lot about the Philippines. I have also learned a lot about other Asian countries through different peoples vlogs

[@asmowl]

So glad to see you have a new vlog! I was actually watching some of your older content yesterday and waiting for some new amazing videos. As always you’re editing and storytelling is on point ♥️

[@TahJetiyamon]

I hope you have had a good time travelling solo. Whether u r alone, with a partner or a group of frenz, there r always ups n downs.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

I'm still single n at times I felt sad when I was alone working n living in Mumbai for 3 years far away from my home in KL. Even though I had an Indian Muslim friend n neighbor, Malaysian friends in Mumbai, somehow, sometimes I just have to abandon d temporary loneliness.

[@deshimantraveller4054]

I traveled to Nepal solo. You are 100% right. Two is a company. I will never travel alone again. I felt lost.

[@TahJetiyamon]

I feel you, but i certainly believe that you have grown from it, take a look at it as part of the process - cheer up, i'm rooting for you :)

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@TahJetiyamon Thank u very much Tah, I'm sure u r doing much better than me. When I first arrived in Mumbai in Dec 2008, just after a week of d massive bombs incidents in d city, for d first almost six months, I had daily food poisoning, vomiting n irritable bowel syndrome, making my body really weak, only after a year I got adjusted to d Mumbai city pollutions of air, water n noise. But it took a heavy toll after three years when I came back to KL, I got depression, lost my job, my income n my apartment. I've been in my own lockdown since 2012. Oh well, that's life. U r still young, u have a wonderful future ahead of u, I also had d same chance, but got tricked by d circumstances. 😁
