    Some of the highest highs and lowest lows in this video. Drove on some truly horrendous roads, crashed a Vietnamese wedding, nearly got human trafficked in a dank hotel room in Hanoi, and missed my flight to Japan. What the f-ck. This is one of my favorite videos I've ever made and I'm fortunate to have you guys join me for the adventure. Love you guys. See you soon

      How come? Sex trafficking is a real thing and it happens a lot, aswell as prostitution and exploitation, moreover in places like Vietnam or Thailand where the tourism sometimes involves such things.
      Don't get me wrong I loved the video, and I also think of it as a crazy experience, however, I think most people would believe everything that happened. Couldn't it be?

    A tip: don't walk into a random hotel lobby or spa looking building called a "nhà nghỉ", it's most likely a brothel. Instead, find a bigger more official looking building called a "khách sạn", which is usually an actual hotel. The men in the video were prostitutes, and it was an uncomfortable situation but it's not their fault that this guy walked into the wrong place.

    15:04 Lady grabbed your hand because in Vietnam, it is generally considered disrespectful to grab food with your hands in formal settings or in more traditional settings. Vietnamese culture has a strong tradition of table etiquette, and the use of cutlery, such as chopsticks named Hashi is common.

We never got lucky enough to randomly crash a wedding, but I met some of the most welcoming and friendly people on this route. We had some random person paid for our lunch without us knowing when he left. We were so confused when we tried to pay and the owner wouldn't accept the money. Neither us nor the owner speak each other's language, but Google Translate came to the rescue. Incredibly kind people, and the scenery was beautiful.

    My friend! I have come across your journey only in the past month and have been captivated. As someone who is a bit older and has often had deep regret about not having chosen a different direction in life when younger which might have taken me on this kind of path of adventure through our crazy and beautiful world, I thank you for the gift of being able to be able to experience it through your eyes, heart, and laughter. I have also shared your channel with some friends who feel similarly and they too have come to love it. At some point I recall a woman very assuredly saying that you are blessed. I wholeheartedly believe that she was and is very much correct. You unquestionably have a gift. Recognize it, don't let it go to your head, and you'll be good. Numbers will continue to go up, no doubt about it. It may be the end of this particular journey, but it could be just the beginning of so much more if you wish it to be. Straight up, all you gotta do is keep doin' it. Sending some love up to the sky for your Nan. PEACE and THANK YOU!

    As a Texas who's been living in Vietnam for 6 years, it's so refreshing to see a fresh pair of eyes experience the beautiful chaos of Vietnam lol.

    Somthing tells me this is going to be my favorite travel channel. Mainnly rbecause I’ve seen many travel channels and your personality really gets me hooked to these videos. Definitely we’ll be binging your videos tonight. And the raw footage is amazing u genuinely catch a vibe with the people there unlike other travelers that just record from a distance

    Your interpretations are hilarious. I'd have to say this documentation of your experience is very different from others (in a good way) - not editing anything out by glamorizing your experience but showing us viewers the reality of your travel, your experience with the countries, its people, and its culture. It's raw and it's real. What an amazing adventure and journey. I applaud you for handling and managing everything so well, especially in stressful situations. Im glad to have clicked on this video. Will have to watch and follow everything from the beginning now. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
    A few tidbits -
    9:15 He's HMong (Vietnamese) and asking you to take a picture with him. The ladies at the pho restaurant were also HMong, but I could only pick out certain words as theyre talking.
    27:50 XOXO.
    37:40 "Hooray, Wisconsin!" 😅🙌
    39:42 Wow. He's absolutely right. 💯

      I haven’t watched the whole series but the last bit of this video summarizing it did justice to showing an amazing once in a lifetime adventure most of us will never have.

    That In Loving Memory picture caught me too off guard man. I lost both my grandmas two years ago few months apart now and that picture just tore me apart. Thank you for assisting my grieving.
