    Every one of us has that one dream which we would love to make a reality, but still, we don't act on it. For me, that dream was to move to a foreign country after returning from my solo traveling trip in 2017. I waited for more than four years because I was too scared to take a leap of faith in myself and year after year it made me feel more miserable. After this long period of waiting, I finally decided to do it and moved to Cape Town in South Africa. In this video, I share my story and hopefully inspire some of you guys to stop waiting for your life to happen and take action instead.

      also, people who deliver such high quality stuff tend to release a new video maybe every one or two months and more often than not, it’s some travel video where it’s a lot easier to get good content/images from, while for explanatory videos such as this, it’s much harder to develop a story from. really, i think niklas is pretty unique in that regard and it shows!

    I know that every single one of you out there has some desire going through your mind right now, but you don't act on it because you are too scared to fail, be rejected or get uncomfortable. It can be moving to another city, asking out that girl you met in the park, or quitting your job in order to start that interesting business idea. No matter what it is, trying is always better than waiting, if you wait, you will always stay right where you are, while if you try, you can either succeed or fail, learn from it and do it better the next time.

    Can't describe how it hit me. I just moved from Taiwan to Madrid yesterday, I've never been here in Europe but I always know this is something I want to try.
    it took me a year to get a remote job, and another year of waiting to finally make this happen.
    Just want everyone who read this to understand, it's not impossible, it's not even that difficult to "implement" it in reality. But the hardest part is to find out that you honestly want, admit it, and try to apply small changes in your everyday life to make it happen.

Was also going to go back when the pandemic hit and now that the winter’s starting here, moving back is on my mind a lot again.

I've also felt exactly the same about the UK where I'm from, since travelling from a young age. I've tried to spend as little time as possible there through living and travelling abroad. The UK and Germany seem quite similar in terms of the definition of success for most people (big house, fancy car, job with status etc). It's so refreshing to see that this mindset doesn't exist so much in many other parts of the world.

My Cape Town is moving to the US, I always loved it there, the people, the spirit, and I would love to study there one day.

    Excited to see how this channel grows, and who knows we might even collaborate one day on an epic project.
    Really like your mindset and always find the videos relatable to self.
    Keep up the amazing work, will keep watching to find some inspiration for myself for editing, shooting, and sharing life feels.

    I'm not lying, I've been watching this video once a day since it came out and I thought about how small life is but how big it is to live. And this video inspires me every day so I think there is still life to be had and this video Your hard work and diligence is visible.🔥
    And yaa without any skip the advertise😅😂

    ''Feeling like I don't belong'' is very true in my case too. As a long-term traveler, whenever I come back home, I have a lack of energy and no desire to do anything with the people around me. I can't wait to start my South America adventure in March with a one-way ticket:)))
    Thanks for being super inspiring!

I'm currently 20 and I've started to work this year as a web developer, I really hope that in two years time I can finish my studies and be able to travel abroad! I'm looking forward to find out more about myself and learn about other cultures. Thanks for your inspiration!

    Well done pal. I too spent years struggling with this burning desire. It took me till the age of 33 to make this happen for myself and move to Bali. After just over 7 years living here, I can't believe I scared myself out of making this move for so long. It take courage (and an economic plan), but it teaches us to become the writers our our own stories. Wishing you all the success and happiness.

    I'm gonna change my life instead of sitting. I'm gonna do it!! 😊 🫂

    Hey man, I'm a new subscriber to your channel and you're crushing it. I know this video is from a handful of months ago, but this video brought up a lot for me and I appreciate you putting it out there. Me and my girlfriend just recently committed to deciding to move back to California where I grew up, after living in Washington for the past 12 years. It's scary and exciting all at the same time. I'm going to move back to the mountains and finally start a hiking/climbing/backpacking channel on youtube, so the intoxicating yet totally frightening journey has begun.

How do I become that person? How do I get that life? What (small) thing can I do today to take me in that direction?" Thinking deeply about these questions have brought me massive success on all levels of life.

    Man this video is a soooo relatable. I'm currently 18 years old, living in Germany and wanting to be a filmmaker in the future. Also, just like you, I feel weird in Germany. I also take my notes in English, watch English movies and even think in English most of the time. I relate to the feeling of not belonging in this place and I relate to the urge of just leaving it all behind and seeing the world. Unfortunaly I'm still in school so I can't just pack my bags, book a flight and leave but your video really inspired me to do it as soon as I'm done with school. Also I just wanted to add, that your filmmaking skills are really impressive and such an inspiration for someone like me, who's just getting into filmmaking. So thanks man. Amazing video, amazing message and amazing shots.

    There are 100 steps to achieving that desire you have, but right now you're focusing on steps 2-100. But here's the thing, you can't know the answer to 99 questions and so you're overwhelmed and don't start. You can't figure out those answers until you first complete step 1, you've got to take a step, see where you are, then take the next step. You'll stop feeling overwhelmed and suddenly discover just how do-able most goals are.

    My goal right now is to study abroad. I want to study in Scotland and possibly live there in the future, so this video inspired me to keep going. When I tell my family about my goals they bring me down sometimes. They do it because none of them have done it. They never work for their dreams, they just let it be a dream and nothing else. But now I want to work 10 times hard for what I want. So thank you and congratulations on moving!

    Thanks Niklas. I'm had started working more on my goals a month ago. But what this video did for me was also changing my long term view. I deeply know what I would like to experiment with and try. But for these bigger changes like quiting your job I was always taking the safe way. I was like I can keep my job, and build something on the side. And it kinda works but it can make you quit your side hustle quickly, because it's too much. I think making the switch and just focusing on YOUR thing is my new way to go. ;)

    I'm 17 and I study in Finnish High School. Now I don't know what I'll want to do in the future. In Finland almost all people around me want general jobs for example a doctor or something that belongs to economics. But you inspired me a lot to dream outside of the box. I think I want to work on social media and travel abroad like you some day.
    You make amazing videos and I love to see them every time. Keep going bro! 💪

    • @arsasih5957
      @arsasih5957 2 роки тому +3

      There is no shame in choosing to be a doctor or any other "general job", most of the people find meaning in what they do. At the end, the people that have not only the mindset, but also no responsabilities holding them back can decide to pursuit their dreams. (Not all the cases)
      I'm not trying to discourage you, just reminding you that this is social media. Even if society and the people around you make you think that, there is not really a rush to decide at 17 what you want for your life.
