NEXT WEEK. BIGGEST SEEK DISCOMFORT DROP EVER. GET HYPED. Now to add a note on climate change, what's happening to Tuvalu is heartbreaking... We're trying really hard to work on our emissions. We're the first to admit that we're far from perfect and have a long way to go. We're educating ourselves on how we can be better and we carbon offset all our flights, which is a start but obviously not a final solution. We're actively experimenting with ways to improve and we'll be talking more about it in future videos! I'm feeling super grateful after this trip and I'm so excited I got to share this incredible experience with you all. Love -Thomas
Yo so I'm half Tuvaluan from my mum's side but stay in Fiji, and this guy stayed at our motel which is so insane cause i grew up in that exact same house and that was my grandmother that asked him his name and just watching him explore my home island took me down memory lane. This video is literally meaningful to people from Tuvalu and hope more people get to explore this small island country. Thank you @Yes Theory
It actually makes me so happy to see that there are still places like this in the world, especially a tropical island, that are not overrun by tourists. The country exists just for its own people, and they clearly are so loving. Beautiful!
"Just living the life". Software enginner who decided to stay with his family rather than fight with traffic, boss, stress, etc,etc,etc.. Congratulations!
humble and inspiring!!!feels no need to be ashamed of living with family under one roof,,, simplicity life❤️,,, if he wanted he could build biggest mansion on island and make others envy,,, but didnt,,, very considerate gentleman,,, knows his values,,, what life is about,,, makes me happy simplicity is still in and not corrupted by capitalism,,, hollywood,,,reality tv shows characters,,,
If he works remotely for a U.S or Euro company, he's probably one of the richest people on the island. And yet still lives with all his family in an outdoor home. Man knows what he's about.
But what will you eat? A whole unseasoned chicken and fries? The Pacific islands are definitely not a culinary destination. I'd kill to open a badass restaurant out there (I'd have the market cornered), but all the ingredients would need to be imported and it would cost an arm and a leg to fly it in. The cost would be so high that none of the locals could afford to eat there, so I'd go out of business anyway.
The lack of tourism makes it so much more personal and authentic feeling of an experience in comparison to islands where people tend to just stay on resorts etc
We flew there 25 years ago from Fiji in June and when we landed we were the 3rd and 4th tourists to visit that year. We stayed for 3 weeks and on the 4th day there was a cyclone for 3 days. It was also the 10th anniversary of their independence and a large celebration so we were invited to the party. Then it was the Queens Birthday as well. So we got and invite from the prime minister to attend. I had to borrow shoes shirt and long ants to attend. What a great place to visit , it was such and honour and we have such great memories.
@@gandharaorganicfoodsimports probably, and I once met a man from Nauru who said many of the natives there leave the island to further their education so maybe some of the ppl here do that? But also to the poster of the original comment, that’s so beautiful! It seems like they’re a very tight-knit community, I would love to experience that kind of hospitality ❤❤
Him just telling us that the lady said “will you come back” made me melt 🥺 like they genuinely really wanna see more people come into their beautiful island
In india there is a tribe that existed long before the Egyptians they emigrated to the island from africa 55000 yrs ago and now tourist are destroying their peaceful way of life
I literally had tears in my eyes when you were at the airport leaving. What an amazing community. I am forever lamenting that the world would be a better place if we just showed one another kindness and compassion. The people of Tuvalu have proved me correct. Thank you for an awesome video!
I love how this country is both advanced enough where everybody is healthy and no one is going hungry, yet they are living a simple enough life to cherish the earth and enjoy each others presence. It's just so incredible
The country of Tuvalu’s domain name is .tv, so Tuvalu makes most of its money from big business’s paying royalties on having that as part of their domain name.
@@benoe568 poor but no beggars in the street is what you see that quickly defines it all when you asked people about their way of living they will respond we r ok we never go hungry a day .
That’s amazing. Imagine living in a place where you can just chill and live a good life without having to worry about all of this extra materialistic, social media surrounded place. I bet these people are happier than most 1st world country citizens.
@@indovilletv8601 Like Charlie Chaplin said it "We've created technology and shut ourselves in". We've created a world too complicated for any individual to fully understand, and too large to feel any real sense of community. Interesting how we chased security and convenience, and after achieving it, we're left unfulfilled. We are designed for a simple lifestyle.

when i read this comment before finishing the video i thought you were just saying things... i am currently writing this comment with tears in my eyes.
Literally my third time watching this video and I still can’t get over the fact that LITERAL YESTHEORY VISITED TUVALU like this is actually crazy to me, never in a million years would I have thought my little island would get this much recognition, honestly still not over this video- it’s amazing
Kev Matt I was born in New Zealand, and there’s one hospital in Funafuti (Where Thomas visited, capital of Tuvalu) but I’m not sure about the other 7 islands since I’ve only visited Funafuti :)
OverHealing LITERALLY! I’m serious, EvErYoNe knows each other :)) They know when someone’s arriving, their parents, grandparents etc. Haha if they don’t, they’d want to find out and they will lol
How absolutely beautiful. People living in harmony sharing, no one going with out. Everyone feeling like they have a place and a family. I wish the whole world was like this.
I hope not but I can see why you'd worry. Tuvalu looks like paradise, not because of the amazing natural environment but because of the people. I wish the rest of the world hadn't forgotten what people in Tuvalu have not.
ive watched this video couple years ago and here iam watching again. this is by far the best video that ive ever seen its amazing how people are very welcoming and friendly. living as a family its all about simlicity love u guys and really appreciate what u r doing
This is so beautiful, I'm literally in tears! The concept of making family as you grow up and the communal living is just so beautiful, the people living there are so full of life I love it!
Tourism to Tuvalu probably skyrocketted by 5000% thanks to one RUclips video. But 5000% of 1 is still only 50 LOL. So, if the island would get one foreign visitor a year, then that would mean that it's now 50 per year. Not going to lie, this video surely enticed me to check it out some time.
@tinylilmatt well......to be fair, Sentinel isn't a country, and the title of the video is the least visited COUNTRY, not island. and even by that route the least visited island would be the ones we havent discovered. ;)
Sarah Cottle not everybody is as fortunate as you and can go to school and they could have another ethnicity that you aren’t familiar with and so that means they could say you didn’t go to English
@@sarahcottle8513 TF you on about? Nowhere in their sentence is the use of 'two' proper. Before you criticize someone else's use of a language, make sure you finished the first grade yourself.
in the beginning you were normal, and being on that Islands changed you into this happiest kind of person at the end...your videos are just wonderful...it is amazing the artistic neclases those people make...
Imagine living on an island that doesn’t even get tourism and meeting someone you watch on the internet randomly. It’d blow my mind if I saw someone even in my small town in Illinois lol
LOL, I get what you are saying but, honestly, you would probably get treated in a very similar fashion in any small town in America or in many foreign countries. I grew up in a little hick town in Kentucky. If someone new showed up at school, everyone wanted to talk to them and be friends with them. When I was in Korea, with the military, I went against what everyone told me and I toured the country. People came out of the woodwork to talk to me, to practice their English, or to just invite me to come and eat with their family in parks. My girlfriend laughs at me because I just start talking to people. I will see something that attracts my attention and comment to them and the next thing you know, I'm in a deep conversation with them. There is nothing stopping you from doing the same. Seek discomfort. Get outta your box. Talk to strangers.
I know it and what is funny about that is that this land has nothing special, people who live here consider it a normal place for living, yet for us, it looks like a paradise, just because it's a regular island with access to sea. But since we don't see those things everyday, it is something unique worth visiting.
Wow, the people of this island! So, from the aiport check-in when you are greeted by a barefoot man, to the curious way that subscriber guy spotted you and his simple life of "that is all we need" , to the people playing on the airport strip it was all so unexpected and amazing 😍 I hope this island will only get as much publicity as it needs to be kept safe, and that crowds will not change the beauty and simplicity of their lives.
11:38 “Yo! Yes Theory is on the boat" Just imagine you're just chilling on your island, that no one has ever heard of and Thomas from yes theory just casually walks through your garden
@@alexhardcastle4522 right, they literally have no sense of materialism or greed. They essentially have found inner peace - please excuse my kung fu panda slang xD
Imagine just chilling in one of the least visited countries in the world and then you see a person from the channel you watch casually walking on the beach.
That could easily be changed had not the worry for the country going under seas. Turbine and solar technology could run thier internet, lan and mobile tech.
...Because theres nobody that will donate or build an infrastructure as I mentioned above as an act of kindness to get them started because this world is too greedy and careless. I know if i had hundreds of millions to tens of billions like the 2% of the world, I would happily help them along with setting up a few deep sea fishing boats for them. All that unfished water can bring them lots of money. Theres many ways they can make money from trade and still keep a free trade within the Islands. People apparently dont think outside the box anymore and thats why our world is not like thiers. Watch his show on Bhutan "The happiest country". Maybe we can learn from them to help Tuvalu.
According to Wikipedia, it seems these people will have an option to move to New Zealand or the island Niue (which is also in danger of flooding). Other option is the Kioa island, which is apparently already rented by Tuvalu (tuvalueans?).
This place has seemed to have everything figured out. They don’t have much pollution, and they solved homelessness. And everyone seemed so happy. If only it wouldn’t drown 😞
read the wikipedia article about tuvalu. The explain that it probably won´t drown so fast, because of stones and sand which are coming to the island by the sea (sry for bad english) :D
Fun Fact: Tuvalu's main source of foreign revenue is from Internet rights. They have the Domain name of .tv that gets them some income from television companies that want to use .tv on their sites.
This made me teary eyed specially when you're about to leave and people just giving you necklaces, it's a sign of appreciation and acceptance in the community. I also love how the subscriber guy repeatedly hugs you as if he doesn't want you to leave yet lol, I kinda feel like that too when someone from other place is about to leave. Such a good experience there.
@@budgetking2591 So you're saying when you don't have vacation days or sick days left at your job just go? And get fired then have no money after blowing thousands on the trip? What kinda logic. Not to mention if they have families.
That moment when the local recognised Thomas, gave me goosebumps. This has to be one of my favorite Yes Theory videos. I'm here on a bus riding to work on a Monday morning, cryin my freakin eyes out. And I can't thank you guys enough. It means so much. Thank you for spreading happyness.
Really grateful that RUclips suggested this video. Been a big fan of YES Theory for a while, but don't know how I missed this one. Absolutely LOVED IT!
Imagine going to a country and being treated like family by locals that have no experience with tourists everyone there is like a big family and the accept anyone
@tinylilmatt I just don't see it, man. It's quite a distance and what - three? (at least) planes for most to get there. If this video causes a potentially devastating uptick in tourist numbers I would be quite surprised.
@UCOI6ZLNKwRvJVJvjTQo4vRQ considering every country in the world one way or another has access to the internet and their entire economy is based around the internet, I doubt that
Countries like these are the most memorable and life changing, you wouldn’t get emotional if you remember visiting a famous city but you would get emotional remembering a communal island like this.
Naief Alromi I know it probably sounds stupid, but New York was very communal for me and an amazing trip. I met so many kind, helpful people whilst there, went to so many famed places and it was just one of the best times of my life. Of course it wasn’t as communal or paradise-like as this island. After all, I never saw the majority of the people I met ever again due to the size of NYC but it was very emotional and I made so many good memories whilst there. So, no. I’m sorry to say it but you’re wrong.
Visiting a big city is a very different experience but it can be just as big a memory. My personal trip to Tokyo was one of the most life changing experiences of my life, and I believe this is true for many people
This was the most wholesome, beautiful, the world is wonderful video filled with such welcoming lovely people from an amazing culture. I just felt so happy you got to experience that throughout the whole video 🥰
My heart broke a bit when the guy said: I need more people around me man, I want people to come visit me and this place... Damn bro he looked so happy for you guys to come :(
They should build a platform to be their new home when the water rises. They could start building the supports now while they have dry ground to work with!
This has been happening for over 10,000 years. At one time Northern europe and Canada where covered in ice. France and UK were connected by land. (Doggerland) Very sad but unless you can cause an ice age the volcano will go back under water.
The most wholesome and heartwarming travel video I have ever seen so far. I thought Nauru, another Pacific Island country was the least visited country before. It's my lifelong dream to go to those beautiful islands. If only they were not that far away from the lands we lived in, they'd be having more guests, though they might not have been this beautiful if that happened.
Yeah, I’d be super anxious. I’m I’ll and can’t ever travel to most of the world anyway, so I don’t think I’d actually ever get into a situation like that, solo in another country, so far from home, when someone else calls over at you, maybe angry, maybe upset. Yikes. I’m so glad they do this though; the world is such a big place and despite son,any cultural differences, it’s all just.., people, living. So cool.
lovely video, felt so happy watching it. Reminded me of a few trips I made in the mid 90s to Samoa (Western Samoa at the time). The same sense of community and sharing. The same happy faces and kindness. Even the same greeting: Tofa! (Which, if I remember correctly, was an abbreviation of "Talofa"). Obviously these countries share a common history. I've always longed to return.
NEXT WEEK. BIGGEST SEEK DISCOMFORT DROP EVER. GET HYPED. Now to add a note on climate change, what's happening to Tuvalu is heartbreaking... We're trying really hard to work on our emissions.

I hope so
I can't even find a plane from where I leave to reach this island.

The Pacific islands are definitely not a culinary destination.

The cost would be so high that none of the locals could afford to eat there, so I'd go out of business anyway.

@@Y0y0Jester i already looked up plane tickets from ohio to there for me and my wife......2300 a piece, shes seriously thinking about it! lol
@tinylilmatt well......to be fair, Sentinel isn't a country, and the title of the video is the least visited COUNTRY, not island. and even by that route the least visited island would be the ones we havent discovered. ;)
Its so cool that a person on a random island in the middle off no where knows yes theory.

Imagine living on an island that doesn’t even get tourism and meeting someone you watch on the internet randomly. It’d blow my mind if I saw someone even in my small town in Illinois lol

@@BenightedSouls I am also an expert in These kinda things......
@@vishwajeetyaduraj7871 What are you trying to say?
LOL, I get what you are saying but, honestly, you would probably get treated in a very similar fashion in any small town in America or in many foreign countries. I grew up in a little hick town in Kentucky. If someone new showed up at school, everyone wanted to talk to them and be friends with them. When I was in Korea, with the military, I went against what everyone told me and I toured the country. People came out of the woodwork to talk to me, to practice their English, or to just invite me to come and eat with their family in parks.
My girlfriend laughs at me because I just start talking to people. I will see something that attracts my attention and comment to them and the next thing you know, I'm in a deep conversation with them. There is nothing stopping you from doing the same. Seek discomfort. Get outta your box. Talk to strangers.
you mean *unfathomasable*
crazy how people and places who have the least, actually have the most to offer
Wow, that was deep. I need to write it somewhere down.
best youtube comment i've ever read bro
I know it and what is funny about that is that this land has nothing special, people who live here consider it a normal place for living, yet for us, it looks like a paradise, just because it's a regular island with access to sea. But since we don't see those things everyday, it is something unique worth visiting.
Wow, the people of this island! So, from the aiport check-in when you are greeted by a barefoot man, to the curious way that subscriber guy spotted you and his simple life of "that is all we need" , to the people playing on the airport strip it was all so unexpected and amazing 😍 I hope this island will only get as much publicity as it needs to be kept safe, and that crowds will not change the beauty and simplicity of their lives.

Do u guys have internet and tvs?
@@claudio.8697 we only have mobile data oh and we have tvs
If everyone was like these people there would be no wars and no stupid gangs. This is so rare to see.
There would be no technology either
That could easily be changed had not the worry for the country going under seas. Turbine and solar technology could run thier internet, lan and mobile tech.
I would like that, but bieng nice wont pay bills or keep you out of poverty
...Because theres nobody that will donate or build an infrastructure as I mentioned above as an act of kindness to get them started because this world is too greedy and careless. I know if i had hundreds of millions to tens of billions like the 2% of the world, I would happily help them along with setting up a few deep sea fishing boats for them. All that unfished water can bring them lots of money. Theres many ways they can make money from trade and still keep a free trade within the Islands. People apparently dont think outside the box anymore and thats why our world is not like thiers. Watch his show on Bhutan "The happiest country". Maybe we can learn from them to help Tuvalu.
If all people would live in places like that everything would be different.
Imagine the island flooded and they had to go to an urban city... they’d probably be disgusted
Major culture shock!
I have a culture shock whenever I go outside of my house.
They should get to go to another similar island
According to Wikipedia, it seems these people will have an option to move to New Zealand or the island Niue (which is also in danger of flooding). Other option is the Kioa island, which is apparently already rented by Tuvalu (tuvalueans?).
not just disgusted at the lifestyle, but disgusted that the urban city is the reason for their islands disappearance.
I wonder if you can visit them again and see how things have changed. Thank you for showing our pacific to the world.

Countries like these are the most memorable and life changing, you wouldn’t get emotional if you remember visiting a famous city but you would get emotional remembering a communal island like this.
Why so?
Kyle Holtzhausen they’re communal, they feel more like a family other than the capitalists megacity look of Europe.
Naief Alromi
I know it probably sounds stupid, but New York was very communal for me and an amazing trip. I met so many kind, helpful people whilst there, went to so many famed places and it was just one of the best times of my life.
Of course it wasn’t as communal or paradise-like as this island. After all, I never saw the majority of the people I met ever again due to the size of NYC but it was very emotional and I made so many good memories whilst there.
So, no. I’m sorry to say it but you’re wrong.
