Who's happy to see strangers in the videos again?
👍
🎉🎉
So glad to see Staffan join, here's to more seeking discomfort!
Finally flying stranger's.
Me 🎉
The fact that steffan was the first person you asked for the life swap, and Trish was the first person he asked for his first adventure as a member seems so fitting!
It does seem rather poetic.
@@Later_Nerd Life tends to be that way
@@chrisclarclark6605 bro wtf?
@@chrisclarclark6605 No person owes their body to another. Do better.
@@chrisclarclark6605 lmao where tf did that come from?
Trish's parents were so supportive. so happy they allowed her to travel
They seemed like such a nice couple. It's awesome that they wanted their daughter to get out there and live. I can't imagine that was easy to do.
I wonder if they tell people to watch their UA-cam channel to prove that they've done this kinda thing before and are highly unlikely to kidnap their daughter lol. I'm sure that definitely helps set people at ease. I mean it also doesn't hurt all these guys are super charismatic too lol.
Nah, the father looked uncomfortable at the end when he realized that his wife had hugged Steffan more times and longer than she ever hugged her own husband. Look closely at 8:31. They edited out the third hug (when the mother tells Steffan "I know you're a good man") out of respect for the father's feelings, but from 7:46 to 7:50 her mother hugged Steffan longer than she ever hugged her own husband.
And if it's "just a hug," then why doesn't her husband get to hug 25 year old American girls the way his wife hugs American guys half her age? Put yourself in the father's shoes
@@Later_Nerd They had an open marriage. Why else would the father be okay with his WIFE hugging their daughter's new "guy friend" longer than she ever hugged him and more times than she ever hugged him? Steffan was rizzing up her mother and I think the father caught onto that by the time he was dropping his daughter off at the airport but because his daughter was so happy that she was going on an adventure he didn't really say anything. How could he compete with Steffan anyway given that Steffan is twice his size, younger-than-him, and more athletic and charismatic?
If I was that age and my wife hugged another guy that many times (they edited out the third hug), I would file for divorce
Also, let's be real here, the father isn't very territorial (as Andrew Tate) would say given that he let his wife hug Steffan longer and more times than she ever hugged him. A lot of guys would disapprove or divorce their wife if she hugged a guy young enough to be her son, but he was okay with it so I doubt he's very controlling to begin with
@@blake9668 are u the dad?? you're talking nonsense boy like he's just happy because the parents were so supportive and now you talking disapprove or divorce like u are the husband 😂 dapat hiwalay talaga youtube ng mga pakialamero e
These videos never fail to strip my mindset out of a bad mood
What country did they go to
Also the fact that you both managed to convince a set of Asian parents to allow their kids to go on this trip, just speaks volumes of your energy that you two give off :) so happy for the two girls :)
Haha I was thinking the same thing.
tbf, the fact that they have millions of subs and they have a tract record of doing this and bringing back strangers safely also gives comfort. I can imagine it has gotten exponentially easier to convince strangers as their channel grew.
@@zeffery101 For sure that helps, and it's obvious they are good people and easy for people to watch past videos.
@@zeffery101 omg I didn't notice their subscriber count until you mentioned it! When I first starting watching their videos they were at 300+k!
Most Philippino men are happy to give away their 18+ daughter to westerners
Her parents and her family in general seemed like the most wholesome loving family and proud of everything they’ve worked hard for, love it!
I'm quite surprised that they actually said Yes, I'm also a Filipino and saying yes to this kind of thing is actually not that common. Awesome parents/family indeed!
@@MJBFabian yeah youre right, but i also knew that they wouldnt have a hard time finding someone because they were in BGC at that time and most people who roam there are considered somewhat "richer" than majority
@@mp3.211 actually they were in greenbelt, Ayala.
@@alphsno472 oh i was mistaken, close enough!
@@MJBFabian Basta libre go ang mostly ng mga Filipino. lol
Stefan is a great addition to the team! I love his energy!
*Staffan
As a man in his 40s, it's so stimulating to see people opening their eyes to the world outside of their phones. Your story-telling is captivating it draws you in and holds your soul with the respect that you show each and everyone you meet along the way. Thank you
in my 30s and yah i agree with u.
Is that why you find these videos interesting? They are a world outside your phone? But maybe you are watching them in your phone...
@@florinacesposoph disturbing
Honestly, the content on this channel rlly makes me re-evaluate life, there is so much to explore, we aren’t built to work all our lives and die
The happiest I’ve ever been was traveling with the people I love. That’s the greatest joy that we should all experience
You are SO correct Omar! 🙏
escape da matrix my friend
❤
❤❤
Stefan is like a breath of fresh air. Such a pure, wonderful human. His excitement for life is so refreshing.
iChase my man!
hi
@@Coolmark123 Mark and Chase what da!
Dude u need to upload I miss u g
Too much hugging and touching especially for strangers
These people are like my dream friend group, just open minded and good energy people
15:06 What a magnificent SCHMETTERLING!
We must protect Staffan at all cost. This man’s soul is so pure and the energy he brings is contagious. He also always has the best motivational one liners 😅
Such a beautiful man!
Staffan 🔥
Congrats Stephan, now the real initiation will be dropping him with no phone and money in a new city for 24 hours. Every true member of Yes Theory has to go through this at least once right?
🤣 cant wait to see it
Staffan* ;)
Yesss
I was 💯 thinking that! That is the true initiation
He should do it in the middle of the Sahara desert 🏜️
Steffan’s energy and vibe makes me smile uncontrollably, so happy to hear he will be here to bring smiles on the regular:)
*Staffan
He’s a golden retriever in a human body!
I'm not entirely sure why but this video made me quite emotional. I've been dealing with severe anxiety for the past few months but it's always been my dream to travel and explore different parts of the world but as of recent I've felt like I couldn't do it because of my anxiety, but this video filled with positive energy, people taking leaps of faith, the absolutely stunning views, the gratitude just made me feel so inspired. Life is so beautiful and fun and crazy and special, I want to treasure it so bad. Anxiety will not dissipate from me but this life that surrounds me will help me ease through it. Thank you mama for gifting me this beautiful thing called life. :)
so amazing to hear. yes theory has helped me through so much of my anxiety
I also have problems with anxiety. Seeing the plane with the chain rail didn't help. I always watch Yes Theory videos after I watch the news from around the world. If I decide to watch the news. Good luck to you.
I was still a 15 year old kid when I start watching your channel. I even sent you a tweet the day I found out about your channel just because I was so amazed with the quality of your content. I thought that I wanted you guys to know how much I appreciate your videos. I'm 21 years old now and I still get emotional whenever I watch one of your videos, it's been five years now but it feels the same way when I first started watching you guys.
To this day, I still haven't left the country. Not even once have I been on a plane or a boat. Given that both of my parents lived in the same place, I didn't really have any place to go. Even though I don't have a passport, I'd love to visit Batanes, a province in my country, which is the Philippines.
Batanes is the northernmost, smallest, most isolated and literally the most peaceful province in our country. It has a ZERO crime rate. People living their are known for their honesty.
Given the chance, I've always wanted to visit Batanes with my mom. She's the only one I have. She's a single mom earning $54 per month. I am well aware that the two of us will never be able to travel in our own given our situation.
I hope that you guys can give us this once-in-a-lifetime chance and let this be me and my mother's life’s greatest moment. Thank you so much! I just signed up to headspace looking forward to this app!
Rooting for you to win!
Wishing you the best my guy!
Give it to him and his mom yestheory
I really hope they see this! rooting for you! I can't wait to visit your beautiful country someday!
I hope you get it my guy! Stay strong and keep fighting :)
Hey guys! Almost two years to date, I decided to seek discomfort by getting my pilot's license. I have always had a massive fear of heights, as well as flying in general. After discovering what you do and how you live life, I was overwhelmingly inspired. Not only did I become a Pilot, but I became commercial pilot with THREE instructor ratings, all within a SEVEN MONTH PERIOD! It was the most difficult time of my life, but now I get to look back and see how far I've come.
The reason I would love a ticket to anywhere is because my wife has a promise with an elephant in Thailand. she visited an elephant sanctuary there around ten years ago, backpacking for several months and made a promise to come back and greet her elephant friend. We haven't been able to travel because of student debt, and it would make my dream come true to reunite her with one of her best friends.
Thanks for all the inspiration you give to not only me and my family, but the whole world.
*edit* just want to throw it out there that I my wife and I up and we love it!
Hey man. I love your story. I have a question. How did you go about getting your pilot’s license? I am in the stage of figuring out what to do with my life and being a commercial pilot has been something in the back of my mind for a while
hey there. I am 16 how exactly do you get your pilot license what are the procedures
@@manavphilip655 You have to first go to a school to learn the basic procedures and after you learn stuff like Physics, Instruments etc you start flying with a Flight Instructor, and you basically learn all the stuff you learned from school in the airplane.
Congratz dude!
To everyone who’s asked, what I recommend doing is call your local flight school and speak to a flight instructor. The hardest part for a future student is actually taking that first step and going to the flight school to talk about lessons.
With all that said, it’s not an easy path to take. There is so much that a pilot needs to know when it comes to the plane, as well as weather and aerodynamics. But I challenge all of you; seek that discomfort as I did, because it’ll change your life!
I really love how much you guys hug strangers and each other, and are not shy to say I love you to people. I'm the same way. It's refreshing to see in our ever uptight and alienating world. God bless.
I'm the same way too, no hatred towards any persons of any type. I'm teaching my twin boys to love and treat others like they want to be treated
OMG! I'm a Filipina and have been waiting for you guys to visit the Philippines, I've been a fan and supporting you guys since the Pandemic. I watched every video way back then, but I got busy with work and my study, and I missed lots of your recent videos. I'm sad I missed your visit here ☹️. But I hope you enjoy your visit to the Philippines, people here are very warm and wholesome beautiful hearts. Thank you for visiting our beautiful Country❤
I always appreciate when these types of shows let people that do not speak English just speak their native language without some voice over, just subtitles. I feel like more and more channels are doing that, and it is amazing.
@RedStar 123 you spelt theory wrong you spec
They wouldnt understand from the spot. It would make communication harder wich then would make meeting new people also harder.
@@Max-zu8xj what? Sorry I didn’t really get what you’re saying 😅😅
@@baspnglr1919 Max is using that harder communication
Same, it's so annoying when I'm watching a documentary and people speaking in foreign languages get voice-overs speaking over them. Just use subtitles.
The cinematogrpahy in this video is out of this world...
Absolutely! So many people don't realize how much work it is to tell stories and cut them in an interesting way 💖
Hey guys, just a suggestion. You guys could come back here in the Philippines and do the same thing, but the difference is that you could ask someone who seems to be less fortunate to travel, and have them travel with you within the Philippine territory (esp if they don't have a passport). After all, we do have a lot of beautiful places (such as islands/beaches), where you guys could go. 😊
nag utos pa nga
I was thinking this too
Thank you for this video. I’m living and teaching all around China for the last 14 years. In three days time, I’ll will be taking a trip to Thailand for two weeks. This is my first real trip since the start of COVID. Just as COVID hit the world, I was traveling through Laos with a good friend. A ten day trip turned into a month as there was no foreseeable end to the virus, at that time. After I returned to my city, when things calmed down slightly, I moved to Wuhan, as that’s where teachers were in desperate need. Two years later, after things settled, I continued my journey. I moved to a new city, away from everything I knew. I found myself becoming uncertain of my choices and having difficulties with connecting to positively influential people. Out of the blue, an old friend from Czech reached out and pushed me to travel again. This video opened up my eyes to the excitement I should be experiencing. It made me want to say yes to all of what this trip will hopefully be. Thanks again, Yes Theory. I can’t wait to continue my travels and to grow as a human, on this adventure we call life.
Staffan was so nervous but he still managed to pull through it, he is the positivity that the world needs, WELCOME TO YES THEORY
Staffan is a perfect example that a stranger is a friend you’ve never met. I’ve been watching the channel long before Staffan’s first appearance and I remember watching that video and I never would have thought that he would become an official Yes Theory member but so much has happened since then and here we are. I can’t imagine how Staffan feels with the new title as he literally met these guys because they walked up to him on the street randomly several years ago. Congrats and welcome Staffan, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you.
Time flies! I'm Still in shock that it's been 4 years since Steffan's debut. Such a sweet, loving soul! I'm not surprised he got a YES from the first person he asked to join him on an adventure!
STAFFAN IS SUCH A SWEET AND FUNNY MAN!! SO HAPPY THAT HE’S OFFICIALLY PART OF YES THEORY ❤️❤️❤️ ALSO YOU GUYS REALLY NEED TO VISIT SIARGAO IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Palau is so close by where I live (Guam), yet worlds apart with its natural beauty and her beautiful people and culture. Thanks for showcasing it.
Brother nice seeing your face although you may never remember me but thanks for all them good times back in College days at UOG
take care and God Bless.. kuni
I just love how Steffan is so authentic and vulnerable. He shows us where we all start and inspires me to just be me. What a beautiful soul.
absolutely
I find his vibe highly annoying
@@svan4748finally someone says it lol
It feels like yesterday when Staffan met the boys and now, he's officially part of the gang!So happy for him! He's a breath of fresh air to the team!
That was fake lol he was they’re boy
@@johnnylazer54 nah
@@WatoFBA lol I live in Sweden mu friend and my little brother went to school with both Staffan and Thomas so I think I know for sure ay
i love you all guys, I meet you on youtube when I was facing a strong depression, I did in 2020 my father watch some episode of yours and then in July 3rd, 2020 my dad passed away due to cov/d then I was pushed down one more time fucked mental, financialy, and phisically till today. I continued watching you, you helped a lot sometimes inspiring lighten up something inside of me to not giving up. And since Matt said he had decided on step out from youtube I still miss him a lot in the videos. Sorry bout the big text I just wanted to get off this burden by saying this. Today I was planning on take my life away but I remembed to watch your channel again and this video sparkled a hope to not give up until I visit this place one day idk how but I will try figure it out, thank you for inspiring me again, love y'all
Almost every single yes theory video has made me well up with tears. Some incredible editing, storytelling and overall great vibes
As a 53 year old with so many health issues suddenly the last few years (Never smoke) and over 37 years of mental health issues, (finally seeking help!) and so many missed dreams and wishes which are too late to attempt now, you guys genuinely make me smile so much and give my soul warmth when I watch your videos. Never leave things too late guys, do what you can for as long as you can and experience life to its fullest! Massive Hugs to you all :) xxxxxxx
The medication is still not the best if not in the right combinations if you can travel or find alternate ways to take care of it will be great. but it will be a journey, wish you all the best.
I can relate to this post so much. 49 and wish I'd never made some of the decisions I did. Smoking perhaps the biggest. The health issues lead to mental issues and things seemed to spiral. Not every dream and wish is behind you though. Here's to a better future. 🙏
I feel you so much. I'm in your same situation. Wasted my whole life trying to understand how to live it at full and today I m counting all the years gone and wasted getting paranoid and never be spontaneous. I wish I could go back to my 20s
Buy a car, take your infinite journey. Drive as far as life will allow you. Visit those countries that you think are the hardest to live in. Be part of the nature. Call the nature and the nature will heal you. I wish you all the great and I hope that you will deal with all your health issue. I don't believe anymore on medication industry so I would suggest to try and find alternative medication which mostly are done by trees and leafs.
I 100% agree!
Staffan was the first person Thomas asked that day in Sweden. Is it not literally fate itself that the first person Staffan asked as on his first official video as a member of YT said yes??? Man the good vibes from this video are unreal!
Thank you for the beautiful video going back to the roots of where Yes Theory began. It was truly heartwarming to see you all with such enthusiasm and heartfelt moments during this video! Thank you for always being a reminder that no goal is ever too big to achieve and our most uncomfortable moments can lead to a new journey of pure joy!
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this community. If I was able to go anywhere it wouldn't be for myself. It would be for my beautiful dad and my oldest brother that has always given up soo much for me and my younger siblings to be here today. They have always worked so hard to support our family and I have always wanted to give back to them, especially my dad. It would be amazing to visit my beautiful grandma who lives in Michigan America which we haven't seen in 10 years. It would be the most heartwarming gift.
Wish you all the very best in the videos to come and can't wait to continue seeing Steffan as apart of the Yes Theory group. Much love always!
So beautiful! Such an amazing experience we all got to share with you. Thank you for that!!
This hits me hard. I had an employee that became a very close friend named Darren that was from Palau and would tell me about it often. He served in the military in the US but was unable to vote in our elections due to his status being from Palau. He was the most fun to have around, had the biggest heart, and was so important to many. He was able to come to the US with his family due to a treaty the US has with Palau since we dock many of our military ships at their shores. We unfortunately lost him recently when he was walking to a hit and run. I know he would be happy seeing his previous home be displayed like this. Thank you Yes Theory.
I offer our condolences. 🇵🇼
I am so happy for Steffan! He deserves the world. Such a beautifully empathetic man.
You guys are absolutely awesome. Seeing the videos where you bring strangers and turn them to friends or even Stephan for example, just the pure joy and emotions is beautiful. Seeing you all make these people happy is AMAZING. This is definitely gonna be my dream country to travel to. I'd kill to have an experience like this. Keep the amazing work up and I wish you all the best health! :)
Yes Theory videos have guided me to tearful joy more than any other media content of any kind for the last couple of years.
Truly an inspiration for good in a grey ocean of despair
Every time I watch videos from Yes Theory, I get this overwhelming urge to get out and explore the world. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried watching your videos and thinking about all the beautiful places that make up our planet.
Growing up, my family struggled to stay afloat financially. We never had any big fancy family vacations. If we did, it was a cheap camping spot somewhere 30 minutes away and every penny was scraped up by my parents to give my siblings and I a fun time.
With that, I’ve always dreamed of taking my dad to Greece to see his homeland again. He works unbelievably hard to support my siblings and I and taking him on that trip would be a dream come true.
You all have truly inspired me to seek discomfort and to do things that scare me. People like you, Kara and Nate, Eamon and Bec, and so many others have changed my whole perspective on life. So, thank you. Thank you for making this world a better place and giving others a chance to experience our precious Mother Earth.
Yes Theory is some of the best content on UA-cam. If not the best.
@@Atleastihavemydog not just that it's also extremely genuine. Yes to some degree they are acting but they're just acting PG just cause its yt but everything else about them n how they act is true n that's why I love this channel. Would love for them to put a "yes house" in Madison Wisconsin just because my mom is there already trying to do the same thing in a group called Occupy Madison I would love for them to join forces
You made me cry lol
@@THE_SOSC That would be amazing!
@@Atleastihavemydog 100% agree!
I love Staffan! What a positive guy and a perfect fit for full time Yes Theory!
I don’t he annoys me
Yea he is really annoying and goofy
Yes Staffan is lovely, helps to bring the goofy out of Thomas! Match made in heaven! 😍🙌
Too goofy and gay
Trish reminds me a lot of an Indian girl I met from Maharashtra, she has a beautiful, warm and kind smile that's like a hug 🥹🙏
It's awesome to see Staffan again! I'm so glad he's been doing well and I'm stoked you guys have taken him into the fold :)
It's a sad reality in the Philippines that a lot of people who want to explore other countries are being suppressed to leave and even treated like trash at the airport. There should be a preliminary screening for tourists to attend before booking their trips to avoid the trauma, embarrassment and a lot of wasted money.
Congrats Steffan, you deserve it!
It's was first made to curb criminals running from country, while president president Duterte was doing war on Thugs and criminals and similarly fighting the Isis
Suppressesd to leave? Like how? 🙄
@@marikitliwayway6703 well just as they stated in the video. You can't leave if you don't have a job lol like wtf even is that shit
@Marikit Liwayway ᜋᜇᜒᜃᜒᜆ᜔ᜎᜒᜏᜌ᜔ᜏᜌ᜔ the bureau of immigration have strict protocols (to avoid human trafficking, leave as tourist and seek for a job, etc) esp. to female solo travelers. If you couldn't provide the papers they asked or failed to show any proof of ties, you will be denied. Most of the time, they're already getting out of hand
I thought it's just a TikTok trend in the Philippines about Immigration issues... OMG
"The word fear stands for FACE EVERYTHING AND RISE" Steffan, a Swedish legend 🙌
did it means also facing negative peoples ?
that's so much life in your video guys, thank you for what your doing, your are absolutely amazing
I’ve just come across your channel, great viewing and the message you guys are sending is fantastic. Keep up the good work 🙏🏼
the editor cutting in to show his reaction after he googled if it’s good energy to hug a tree absolutely KILLED me
Staffan is a great asset to your Yes Theory group, he brings this vibe of; "life is here to enjoy and no one has the right to suffer." He is a great guy with a beautiful aura. To be honest I really hoped that some day he would become a part of your team, and now this has come true. Congratulation to Staffan and all of you for making the right choice.
Steffan congrats on officially being part of the Yes Theory family! You are so genuine and touch people’s heart naturally. Good luck on future travels!
I've been catching up on a lot of Yes Theory videos and gosh they always hit me in the feels, in the best way possible. You guys are truly my favorite UA-cam channel of all time. I love what you guys do and I aspire to be more yes-orientated.
Steffan is great, he's always super positive but the side of himself that he showed after meditation was so raw and engaging. What a guy!
I'm so damn proud of you Steffan! No one is more deserving and I'm humbled and proud to have you as a friend! Big love you absolute legend!!!
So true
Thanks for the support, Rich :) Keep on rocking!
@@YesTheory No thanks needed whatsoever! You legends have done nothing but change my life for the positive. I'm replying to Heros right now!
Stefan is truly great
@@GavinWolle I consider him a mentor from afar and a good friend. An absolute Legend! 💯
WOW, what an incredibe country!! The beauty of our planet is truly endless. I'm so happy for Triss and Abby, it must have truly been a once in a lifetime experience.
I'd love to see nothing more, than such a genuine and honest laughter on my fathers face! He has been an incredibly hard-working man his whole life, dedicating all his time and effort towards providing a better future for my sisters and me. He always manages to put all his extra time and money towards our future, ensuring that we have everything we need to succeed. Though always working tirelessly left him very little extra time and money to actually spend on himself.
Born in communist Hungary, he has dreamt of visiting Bali ever since his childhood, but unfortunately, due to financial and time constraints, he has never been able to make this dream a reality. He has always put his family first, sacrificing his own dreams and desires for the betterment of our future. Winning these free plane tickets and going on this once in a lifetime trip together would be the perfect way to show him how much we appreciate all that he has done for us.
Welcome Steffan so happy to see that you're apart of this now! I literally busted a tear lol
Congrats to Staffan, I have never seen anyone as wholesome as he is. Perfect addition to the team.
The look on her mother's face and a sealing trust pact in that hug, was EVERYTHING.🤗🥰
Stephans energy is so pure so genuine even a mothers gut instinct was enough to trust it , I can't think of a more deserving person then Stephan to be part of Yes Theory
You guys are living my dreams. Thank you for the amazing work that you do & thank you for making me smile. ❤😊
Another great Video/ storytelling from the team! The world is so beautiful! Living the dream of adventure vicariously through you guys for now- thanks so much. One day hope to travel beyond the borders of the country! Was so happy for Amar last time and now for Steffan! Crazy how the first person you both asked said yes!! Love the way you reach out and connect with strangers! It’s lifting those walls we need to do. Agree with what Abby said! Thanks for headspace trial too.
Yay! Welcome Staffan! We are so happy to see you officially a part of the team!!
Staffan is such a bright light in this world, I feel so honored to have met him and talk to him at the Amsterdam premiere of Project Iceman! His optimism is such an inspiration! Keep being you, Staffan!! ❤
(downloaded headspace xoxo) I have been watching your guys channel for over 4 years and have genuinely inspired me to explore communities outside of my own. You have shown that getting out of your comfort zone builds confidence and allows you to grow with the world around us.
I am finally doing my first abroad solo trip next week and I really want to thank you for showing me the fundamentals of seeking discomfort. I wish and hope to meet you all one day and experience yalls crazy energy in person!
The odds of pickin up , not one... but two.. ( First time asks ) .. Shows how much you can change the world. Thanks Yes Theory
Congrats to Steffan for becoming a full member of the team,and to the girls for stepping out of their comfort zones and saying yes,this is why i subscribed,to see the world differently as portrayed on tv,real people saying yes and open to adventure💙💙
They only picked him because they were decimals and girls lol
As Filipino it's great to see you in the Philippines even for a short while. My girlfriend and I's dream destination is Japan! We've prepared for the trip more than 2 years ago but the pandemic happened. We always watch videos about Japan every time we're together. We love the culture and seeing it in person would definitely have a great impact in our lives. Now the borders have opened up but due to personal and financial reasons, we have pretty much lost our opportunity to travel to the land of the rising sun. Great video and Steffan got lucky to have chosen a very open Filipino parents to have entrusted you their daughter for a trip without them, very rare!
Literally open; they seem like they have an open marriage; notice how the father didn't mind the fact that his wife hugged Steffan like three times (the third hug at 8:31 was edited out) and she hugged him longer than she ever hugged her own husband. I don't know, Trish's father is like the exact opposite of Andrew Tate..he tolerates his wife being disloyal
@@blake9668 you must be high on something or a total creep smh
@blake9668 What on earth are you talking about. If you really think hugging is forbidden if you're married then this must be the wrong channel.
@@erik.... by that logic Stefan basically a tree slut
@@blake9668lmao someone forget to take their meds💀
it was wonderful to see this video. I’ve been off work now for 2 years due to a chronic Lyme disease condition, and it’s so good to see people being kind to each other, to strangers, and exploring this world of ours, -together!
Definitely going to be on my bucket list. Thanks guys
Woah! I am from the Philippine and I’ve been following you guys since the very beginning! Although I envy Trish, I’m glad that you finally made an episode here in the PH and choose a Filipino stranger to go adventures with. So happy for you Trish, Philippines represent! 😊🇵🇭
Yes me too. I was so very happy that they made it here. hope they'll do it again here.
It ain't bout PH though it's Palau.
@@frederickaro6097 I know, but the person that they brought to Palau is from the Philippines. Lol!
yeah I thought the thumbnail pic is Sohoton Cove in Surigao Philippines 😳
@@seraphicchic8829 Same! The place kinda looks similar in Palawan in the Philippines too💗
This was absolutely beautiful. To see the joy on everyone's face on this trip was something special. I hope to see more Strangers either joining in at the locations or taking the trip to a location. I love this channel.
They probably banged them throughout right? That's why they chose a couple decent looking girls?
Thank you for showing me such a beautiful place in our world and lifting my day as well
Congrats Staffan!! Love to see strangers back in videos!!! I subscribed to headspace using the link in the description and I would love to join you on an adventure to Montserrat. It has been a dream to visit this small island country in the Caribbean for a few years now after I came across this country on a random Google search. I have not travelled to any country, besides Australia, so this would be an amazing adventure.
This video made me cry so hard seeing Stefan grow from that first Yes Theory experience to being a full time employee. Y’all do the kinda stuff I dream about!
Having followed Yes Theory for 5 years now, I can truly say your journey changed my whole life trajectory. Suffered from a mental illness at the beginning of my early 20s. I am 26 now and can confidently say I have overcome it. Your videos sparked something bigger in me; a willpower that can move mountains. Today I'm also traveling a lot, slowly making my dream of becoming a digital nomad reality.
Thanks for giving the community a chance to reflect and see the world through your eyes. Also, to raise the awareness about how important mental health is.
I want so see the whole world - so basically every country is my dream destination.
Wow I had no idea that all you need to overcome mental illness is to watch Yes Theory! Glad I now know what to do 🙄
Everytime i feel lost, you guys just inspire me so much that I instantly feel so niceee! Thank You guys for always putting a smile on our faces
Love the way you break down barriers and build communication around the world.
Palau 🇵🇼 Merci encore, mesulang for bringing our most dear neighbours to visit our home.
It means so much that Palau remains a place of hope and revival for like minded people who believe more in the beauty of the world than anything else.
Still can't believe Yes Theory came to Palau !
Foreal can't believe they came here I've been watching them forever and they came to our beautiful small island 😭♥️
I'm so happy for Staffan and also to see Filipinos in Yes Theory videos is amazing! I've been waiting for you to visit Ph! I'm a proud one and yes, it is indeed very hard to travel outside our country and watching Ammar's story speaks to me a lot. But if given the chance, my husband and I would love to travel with Yes Theory in Switzerland. It is just heaven on earth and to experience it in a different way would bring so much impact to our lives. Thanks for giving us, people around the world, a chance to experience the world not just by watching you guys but also the chance to be with you.
This is what I'm waiting for this channel to feature our Country. Thank you team yestheory👌👏
Stefan is so deserving of being part of such an inspirational group of individuals, who are making a huge difference to perspectives and lives throughout the world
Hello editors or other members tasked with reading all of our wonderful comments
You guys never fail to amaze us with your incredible content
Been following you guys and your story for so long and have seen all of your videos, and now seeing my fellow Filipino share the experience with you guys makes me feel proud! I love it!
This is the first time I'm watching your video... I thoroughly enjoyed it. You guys rock!!
When I was 13, I discovered Palau because a teacher of mine had us do a report on small Islands. I chose Palau for my presentation for obvious reasons, but still to this day 15 years later Palau is so underrated. Maybe that's for the best!
I really missed this kind of videos. Thank you fam!
I absolutely love the strangers videos, there is always a magnificent energy. I am so happy that Staffan is member of yes theory. he has a beautiful energy. You can not believe how much joy l get from your videos. i am so glad for you guys in this world 💗💗💗
Wow! I am from the Philippines! One day I hope to meet you guys. Because of your channel I have been also trying to motivate and inspire others to pursue their dreams and to seek discomfort. You guys Rock! Stefan you are awesome!! Congratulations on being official a Yes Theory Member! So well deserved! Keep inspiring and motivating others!!!
I don’t know why, but I’m still impressed with the ability of this team to get me emotional, having goosebumps and excited about what’s to come! ❤
Its the music they play
always !!!
Man thank you for always reminding me of the good in the world. I don't watch this channel often. But when I do, sometimes it will make me tear up. Just from how beautiful the world can be. The production quality is always insane. You guys are magicians and have inspired me to be more open to new experiences. Thank you guys for all you do.
It’s crazy for me to think I’ve been watching y’all since the very beginning. How you have adventured out more and more, getting so out of your comfort zone that you’ve found peace in it. Watching this one video out of all the ones y’all have made, gave me chills and sparked that passion back into me to not stay “comfortable” and be stuck at home all the time to get out an adventure and seek that discomfort of the amazing beautiful world out there! Y’all are an inspiration to me and all the others out there, thank you! My dream is to be able to Europe but at this point I would love to travel anywhere half as beautiful as Paloma. ❤️
OH MY GOD! YES THEORY WAS IN MY COUNTRY, THE PHILIPPINES! 🇵🇭 Yes Theory has been my biggest inspiration, that's why I'm saying YES to more adventures this year. Just last February, I climed my first mountain, and just yesterday, I booked my first out of the country trip. I have planned and dreamed of this for years. I've already watched too much travel vlogs, so finally, finally I'm doing it. I'll be doing a lot of firsts on this trip as I'll be travelling alone, so I'm so so excited! Thank you, Yes Theory for showing us the world, for sharing stories, for keeping us inspired, for helping us dream and for giving us the courage to do more.
Cheers to more YESES! Cheers to Yes Theory! Cheers to Staffan! 🍻
Yes! Philippines 🇵🇭 loves u Yes Theory.
Congratulations on your first flight! Where are you going??
That's awesome
Congrats Steffan! I hope to travel to the Phillippines or Japan one day. As an American who has never had the opportunity to leave the USA before I would love to experience new cultures.
Staffan is cool and has a beautiful soul !!
These videos never fail to put me in a good mood. This one, specially has me feeling appreciative of everything.
Being Filipino and having watched you guys for years now it’s the best collaboration I never knew I needed to see love it guys!
Napaka lapit ng cafe agapita samin, di ko man lang nabalitaan pupunta pala sila don 💔
The fact that you guys have built a group of people of all different backgrounds and cultures is so beautiful. Turns out we are all the same and it's tremendous. Thank you for living and also loving, trying times require loving people and sometimes it's hard to be that.
Soo inspiring!! Thank you!! This also reminded me of my diving days, years ago, in the Philippines.
Soooo happy to see Steffan officially a part of the Yes Theory family
This felt like the yes theory when i first started watching years ago, strangers, stories, and just all around beautiful, great job corey the production in its self was art.
