Hey, Ben!! Love it!!! All of your videos are great and this is definitely a "refreshing" and apparently "cold" change! It would be great to see more of these types of adventures!!
Thanks Michael. It's nice to know I can just share my thoughts and express some honesty and authenticity, and that it is valued 😊 Definitely time to start doing more of these, it was so much more fun and laid-back to film!
Piękna przyroda! 🤩🏞️ Zawsze mnie uspokaja i relaksuje szum wody. 💦🌊Te widoki przypomniały mi rezerwat przyrody, który często odwiedzałam jako dziecko - w Polsce (chodziłam tam zarówno sama jak i ze znajomymi właśnie). To było trochę takie miejsce odcięte od cywilizacji (spotkałam tam kiedyś nawet gromadkę małych lisków 🦊). Kocham połączenie skały i woda - to jedno z moich ulubionych widoków, na które lubię patrzeć. 🤩
That is a lovely story, it must have been nice to see the foxes :) Some of my favourite spots are just a stream or waterfall amongst forest and trees. The flow of water is very therapeutic!
@@BenRobson123 Mam podobnie. 🤝 Jestem wodnym znakiem, więc ciągnie mnie do wody. 🌅 Podobno szum wody uspokaja, bo kojarzy się nawet na poziomie podświadomości z wodami płodowymi, gdy byliśmy jeszcze w brzuchach naszych mam. 🤰 Taki szum maskuje nagłe hałasy z otoczenia, które mogą wybudzać niemowlę, co pozwala mu spokojnie spać w łonie matki. Wogóle człowiek źle odbiera na dłuższą metę absolutną ciszę - bardziej naturalniejsze jest dla niego w odbiorze środowisko, w którym są jakieś dźwięki. Te małe liski, na które natrafiłam, były tak pochłonięte zabawą, że wogóle nie zwracały na mnie uwagi. 🤭 Było to dla mnie niesamowite, 🤩 bo nie miały odruchu ucieczki czy obawy przede mną. Nie ruszałam się, żeby ich nie spłoszyć. I tylko się patrzyłam z zachwytem jak beztrosko się bawią. Dzieliła nas mała rzeczka. Mogłabym się tak na nie długo patrzeć, ale uświadomiłam sobie, że skoro są to młode liski to musi być też w pobliżu i dorosły lis. 🦊 Postanowiłam nie ryzykować spotkania z nim 😅 i się oddaliłam. Uznałam, że i tak miałam szczęście 🙏 podglądać liski kompletnie nieświadome mojej obecności. Poczułam wtedy dużo mocniej, że jestem częścią wielkiego świata natury, gdzie ludzie 👤 i dzikie zwierzęta 🐾 mogą egzystować tak blisko siebie. Już wcześniej było to jedno z ulubionych miejsc wędrówek. 🔝👌 Po tej przygodzie lubię je dodatkowo bardziej, bo zawsze przypomina mi się to rzadkie spotkanie. 💭
You could have told me that the waterfall and pond were in the scenic mountains of Chihuahua, Mexico or the misty Appalachian foothills near me, in Washington DC. But it was the beautiful Lake District!
Make whatever content you enjoy making, i think a lot of youtubers get sucked into an unhappy cycle of just wearing themselves out for the sake of pleasing there audience or the 'algorithm'. That said, you are on a role with what you are doing and i wouldn't want that to stop for you. My suggestion maybe don't change what you are doing completely all together. Id love to continue seeing you travel the world and explore the history of your surroundings. Why not go to a drastically different places than before, bigger trips across other continents? Maybe place a focus on more specific parts of those places and their culture. The people, the language, religion, even food...BUT people like watching different things, there's definitely the audience for these more fun back to your roots style videos, me included :) here's an idea, ASMR style camping videos, been loving that stuff recently
Thanks mate, I really appreciate the feedback. You're spot on. I won't be ditching the travel stuff altogether, but will likely do my usual videos alongside the ones I mentioned :) I guess ultimately doing stuff that I enjoy and find fun is best way to go forward really! I definitely fancy a wild camp sometime soon before winter kicks in!
Hi Ben, that cold water would sure be invigorating. Your friend was sure brave to swim across and go under the little water fall. Hope that you can find the right balance of Travel videos and also these Exploration videos near home. I left some ideas for your videos on another video so won't repeat it here.
Haha yeah, braver than me. Although I fell under the water by mistake thinking I could still stand up! Hope you enjoyed the change in vid, will bring out some more of these in the future (but perhaps less rambly - as this was more of an update video really)
Ben, you could never be boring… just be yourself, do what makes you happy, do what you do best. Mix things up a bit if you need a challenge, you are very creative, find what interests you most and expand on it. Just remember, what you do is totally unique, there cannot be any other person around the world that can provide exactly what you do. Without you probably realising it, the quality of your videos has continued to improve, that in itself is change enough. And do not forget to have fun, enjoy yourself. Yes, your audience loves what you do but sometimes, sometimes…you just need to be away from the camera, and the drone, and “be” in the moment, see things through your eyes, and not always through the eye of a camera. From Dubrovnik…until the next time. Zoltán
Great message. Thanks again, I have to keep trying to remind myself of that, so it is helpful to hear from you, so thanks. Also need to acknowledge that I can't / won't please everyone and that is okay 🙂 Let's see what the future brings!
Ben. Sigh. The first 5 minutes of this video is you repeating yourself over and over again to point I almost turned it off! Sigh. I like your videos, so I'm giving you honest feedback. I think you are trying to force something to happen rather than just LETTING it happen naturally. We don't care where you take us, just be natural about it. And, oh, please no more of that watching your feet. I'm not here to watch your feet. And, you don't HAVE to announce every little move you are making nor do you have to POINT at EVERYTHING!!!!!! Just walk down the hill and get into the water ffs. lol. I'm here to see the VIEWS whether it's in a city or the forest! Just have fun and be natural! Do you point and announce when you are going to the lieu? Didn't think so! :)
Thanks for the feedback Holly. I'll try to be a bit more mindful of this, but I'm afraid my feet are attached to my body so there's not so much I can do about that!😛😆
5 minutes trying to find out what is the change, zero luck, the rest of the video - people swimming. Not a content people would appreciate IMHO... More dynamic videos, challenges (10 euro a day in Prague, 1 day in 1 town for a week), more expressions.
Thanks for the feedback - this was more of an update video really. Like I said, I'll still be doing my usual travel videos, but also want to try some more of the challenge & fun videos like you listed at the end of your comment. Though I might also do more relaxed & less-polished videos alongside, as they are more fun and laid-back for me too. I will give it a try, then people can always choose to watch whichever they please, thanks for the comment 😊

😁 it is a wonderful little spot, magic can be found anywhere I suppose! Simple things can be nicest sometimes

& thanks for the support as always, one of the OGs 🙏 we'll have to watch that Yorkshire video again sometime so we can cringe haha

The cooling pool is nice and cool
Was a lovely spot mate, cool is an understatement 😅
My favorite video you ever made was when you explored the gorges in Romania (?) where you climbed ladders.
That's right Carolina, it was Brasov, Romania. I loved that place actually!

I think you need to get out of Europe and film somewhere else in the world
Nah. Plenty of adventure in Europe.
Thanks Mark, definitely upcoming at some point :)
