What No One Tells You About Long Term Travel (a 360 podcast experience) | SBP #43

[@hero227]

It's the first 360 podcast I've ever seen. So as far as I'm concerned, this IS the first of it's kind.

[@TehjadaPackolee]

First I've seen too. and honestly.... I am underwhelmed.

[@smallbrainedpod]

ok so the 360 stitching is a little messed up, bit of a learning curve with this haha. thank you guys for watching

[@ItsBriezzy]

I think it is a neat feature!

[@SailBoy1987]

Thanks for being a filthy adventurous alcoholic! I hope you drink 8-10 Topo Chico Seltzers or Mexican beers per night you disgruntled, pale, judgmental, gorgeous, illustrious, slightly-foul smelling son of a goat farmer

[@SergieRachmaninoff]

I feel you. Travel is tough. It can be fun, but it gets tiring. The constant lack of stability, the fleeting relationships, the deep conversations where you learn the deepest parts of someone, only to not see them again a week later. These experiences can be fulfilling, but eventually get tiring. Finding long term fulfillment is pretty hard when travelling, it tends to grow empty and vapid after a while and you yearn for some consistency and comfort from both your environment and the people around you.

[@TravelRepository]

You know, if you ever decided to stop traveling the world and became a bit more stationary, I think it would work out because **you** are the entertainment. Your thoughts and your unique way of expressing yourself are what keep us coming back. Perhaps you could consider a format similar to 'Outdoor Boys', where the focus is on local adventures. Although he does travel at times, but he keeps it within the country. There’s no shortage of travel channels, but many fall flat due to the lack of personality behind the camera. You've managed to make places like India and Japan genuinely entertaining for viewers like me, who normally aren't interested in those destinations. I've tried watching content about these places from other channels shortly after watching your stuff, and it's just not the same. So, wherever you go, pretty darn good chance we'll follow. Remember, you doing whatever the f*ck you want to do is what got you this far. I think your heart is telling you to come up with something compelling that aligns with what you truly want to do.

[@smallbrainedpod]

Excellent insight. Thanks for that

[@danberridge807]

@@smallbrainedpod I think the above is really good advice. Do what's fun to you and we'll enjoy watching your own brand of random chaos unfold. Just don't turn into Kurt Caz.

[@mikea8063]

Your at a crossroad, but that ok .

[@TonTon.2142]

Kinda sorta. Really do miss seeing him rough it in 3rd world countries, getting blitzed off beers and betel nut, interacting with the locals. Just felt a lot more raw and unrestrained. You’re right in that he himself is entertainment, though. I still enjoy the current content.

[@MageBlackstone]

So, when I travel, I try to go to the same place twice. It could be staying for two nights at the same hotel, having a coffee twice in the same coffee shop, walking down the same street two times, and so forth. It is something that, for some weird reason, creates a warm feeling of belonging and it is cozy. By the way, it also works if you are visiting the same place during your second trip.

[@cameroncarstens5523]

I’ve been traveling full time for the last 2 years and this hits home. The only solution I can find is meet others that live this lifestyle and meet up with them in different countries

[@forestrymatters]

Bro, this is amazing, don't stop, keep going. Much love!

[@En3rgyLee]

You are the realest KZbinr and my wife and I love your content. It’s always a delight when you post lol keep on keeping on brother!

[@Magus1213]

We OG’s appreciate the innovation, Conner. Keep it up!

[@Magus1213]

Perhaps you may be a bit too big now. Don’t need my renewal then.

[@JuPac420]

I’m on board with no video, but this is pretty dope my guy

[@tomw4918]

Welcome to your 30’s homie. My unsolicited advice is to not stop taking risks or pushing yourself, but don’t underestimate what a routine, some rest, and a home base can do for your mental and physical health. You have to figure out what you want to prioritize, how you want to spend your time, and figure out a longer term plan. Good luck man

[@joshweinstein5345]

Thanks for being so honest - and funny - all the time - those are a just a couple of the many things that make your KZbin and podcasts great. Keep it up and safe travels.👍

[@nf5557]

Love the 360 and those were some wise words about lifestyles

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

I didn't know about this 360 feature, super cool

[@disiostudio1559]

Your travel videos are very entertaining. Thanks for always being honest and sharing. Ironically, though thousands of viewers are attracted to your KZbin personality and most would be happy to have you as a friend, you seem lonely away from a permanent home. Performers on the road experience the same. Discomforts also become more of a downer as one gets older. No doubt many would miss seeing you if you discontinued your videos. Maybe alternating your time between stimulating travels and a home base with another pastime you enjoy that generates income might be a solution. Keep following your bliss.

[@johnhildebrand3912]

Nice! 1st time seeing 360 video.

[@maximum_EV]

360 was cool man! As always love the honest takes. Not sure how you’re managing all of those different tasks you mentioned (booking/editing/filming/etc) but I’ve always found it helpful to try and set aside days or times to take care of different things as needed. Realize it’s more difficult when traveling but maybe it would help to just plan the week ahead on Sundays or something. Maybe you’re already doing that but if not try it out. Take care!

[@smallbrainedpod]

Brilliant idea, I’m gonna try this

[@jordang4401]

Had a few long stints of full time travel in the last 5 years, you really do get a bit over it after a while. You start missing all the things you don’t currently have like friends and family close by. Now that I’m back home and I have all those things again I miss the traveling again, it really is a grass is greener situation.

[@drumstick74]

👍 The 360° function was amazing!

[@WelcomeToOzzy]

This podcast 360 was pretty enjoyable by the way!

[@potpourridrive]

Couldn’t agree more about how lots of people portray travel or living abroad online. I’ve lived in Thailand for a year and work remotely. There are downsides like having to work PST time so I opted to work a “night shift” and keeping sleep schedule limits time for others. There are pros and cons with it all.

[@connorwells4033]

This is cool asf ngl

[@Mnogarithm]

Woah, I'm gonna go grab my VR headset...

[@stevedeeee]

Cool idea. Looks 🔥💯

[@Tuuelve]

I be lookin at the dawgs the whole time ngl

[@albundy3326]

Awesome video

[@aussieespanol]

Complain complain complain. Some random tuk tuk guy. Monk holy water bahahah keep sending it legend!

[@skinrat81374]

I appreciate the honesty and can relate to the struggle of LT travel. I cant really imagine it being my career, though. You should deff look into betterhelp or something so you have a person to vent to... best of luck

[@mvlla8624]

Love your honesty

[@Wittbore]

i was so confused when the video was just the wall

[@lanceporter25]

This is cool af

[@larrylove6903]

I am part of the "running from something crew." Going on 10 years with no regrets.

[@larrylove6903]

Oooh. Just got to the end of the video. My mom did get very aggressive cancer while I was living abroad and I only had a couple weeks with her. Not very sexy at all. Fortunately I did go home for a few months from time to time to spend time with her before that.

[@daxharper7170]

going on a dive with SBA

[@peterstark5386]

Cool 360 degree video!

[@ShivaShakti4488]

Do more of this even if it’s just your room you are in.

[@Blacked.Hippie]

Connor going to the Gym to get Shredded... He just like me fr 🧠

[@TheGymnast71]

How long have you been traveling in total?

[@thisisallthereis]

Hey Conor, how come you never posted your latest patreon video to KZbin?...

[@smallbrainedpod]

Still getting advertiser approval before posting

[@thisisallthereis]

​@@smallbrainedpodOh really?

[@cameroncayer9726]

Where is this diving footage from?

[@GaryWhittingham]

I hate it when the Monks do that. Great stuff as usual, thx.

[@Work-j5d]

This was a very important video in the small brained lore.

[@jimmygorgiev9379]

Did you ever see Snake Charmers in India, that Godforsaken country! I know this is unrelated to this posting but I don’t think I ever saw a video of that when you were in India!!

[@Gharrison3]

if you didn't feel safe in DC that tells me you lived in SW area or Navy Yard. NW DC and Georgetown are so much better

[@huashi2064]

Gimmeabreakman's channel does these videos. However if you're not from that era along with TokyoCooney, You wouldn't know. These kids got Abroad In Japan now.

[@itsnick37]

Is it honestly worth being stationary in some US city anymore being a 9-5 slave or any hour wage slave? It really isn’t when housing has gotten so unaffordable and all the extras with it, you’re paying half your income nowadays to that in a lot of places…. With a country on such political uneasiness I’ll say with inflation that’s about to explode with every company doing layoffs or just not really hiring… people to busy “surviving” to even have a life, I don’t get it personally. New trend should be to just work as much as you can in a job or 2 for a stretch and go travel until you need to get more money again. Spend as little on housing as you can, and work on side gigs to have steady income from that eventually….. there is no culture and life in the us it’s a dying country, sure the infrastructure is amazing here for now but even that seems to be declining along with to many new people coming here(don’t censor me bots) causing to many issues…..

[@canalesjuan356]

[@KhanhNguyen-qp1qn]

360 wowww

[@ryanhou162]

Connor you just getting old and it’s okay to settle

[@Gematrinator]

Kinda crazy tbh

[@gagamba9198]

No, it's not a privilege. A privilege is a special advantage or right only available to a person or group. Clearly, travel isn't that. It's not as if someone or some group gifted you the funds to pay for this. You worked and saved your money as well as make videos to fund this, and of the latter there is no guarantee of a pay-off, which would bring your travels to a halt. If you were privileged, you wouldn't face such an outcome. You're taken the risk. You work to present an interesting and entertaining adventure. Maybe even do things you don't want to.for content. When you're privileged, you don't need to make sacrifices and concessions. And you're not privileged due your viewers. You give them something and you get something in return; it's a consensual transaction.

[@neilprichard]

WTF is that outside!

[@calebnation8802]

Wtf 😂

[@eclipse3580]

yo WTF!
