      I don't believe him. I think he'll be putting out videos for the next few years. The only thing that might slow him down is if he gets married again and has a child. He'll still travel, but not as often, and not in the rough and tumble way he does now to such remote and sometimes desolate and dangerous locations.

    Bald - you've had such a huge impact on travel channels and vloggers, laying the foundations for a renaissance of simple, pure videos. Just how UA-cam was designed to be (Broadcast Yourself). Most UA-camrs I know feel like a slave to "the algorithm" and you just seem not to care and focus on making good videos, which is simultaneously the simplest concept in the world and also the hardest to imagine for people who've been asking the internet to "smash like" every day for the past few years. Super glad I got that one Moldova video in my recommended in 2019 which led to me watching every single video of yours. I'm along for the ride til the last stop.

Then Romania, Moldova, The PMR (Transnistria) and Ukraïne. My best mate found a lovely girlfriend, from Dnipro. We still talk about the Adventures we had. And oh boi, we had a lot. We have this running joke that if we filmed it all Vice would hire us. From shooting guns in a semi legit gunrange in a former Atomic bunker in Moldova, being the longest (We are Dutch.) people on the beach of Odessa, to having to pull semi piramid schemes in Tiraspol to get cash in a country that doesn't exist...

Coming to a country without any knowledge and learning a completely new culture and way of life just to stumble across this channeling my 20 brings back so many memories. Bald, you have open my eyes up to my post soviet home. Never in a million years have I would of though and English man like you would just wonder them lands with such confidence and show everyone what life there is truly like.

    Bald - everything in this video you said and related back to 'being real', 'not selling out', 'book the flight and stop being a pussy' is why I'll always watch your videos. You're living your advice and you are a funny guy.

    You really impact a lot of lives with the amazing content you create. It's natural that the soviet videos one day will come to an end. As you said, stay legit, and whatever new content you will create in the future, just keep spreading to everybody in this world the authenticity, joy and friendliness that you've always demonstrated here! Thank you, Bald!

      Ben, please come to Australia. You have a big fan base here.
      There's a lot to see and a good rail network. Accommodation is expensive but you can camp and likely stay at viewers homes.
      Don't pack Bald and Bankrupt in.

      @@johndoutty9317 are you mad ? Australia is expensive asfk. I'm Aussie and the rail system is crap...what are you on about...no one wants to see travel vloggs of Australia when most of his viewers are from Australia, England and America. We want to see cheap holidays and interesting countries. Not expensive places like Australia, America and England

      If you guys think about it, there are probably only a handful of blessings that we can count on that feeds our soul and gives us purpose, energy and momentum to carry on and that's - Family, extra money, our health, our children, great food, music, a cool or warm breeze that rushes across our face suddenly, the warm glow of the sun, gentle rain hitting the windows and roof, the soft roar of waves coming in, barefoot on sand or grass, love, romance and intimate moments with that special someone, and many other things as well, but another blessing for many of us is being able to escape along with Mr. Bald. I am not sure if he realizes this, but we don't really care if it's Russia ( Russia and all of those other countries however are really beautiful, beautiful people ) however, we would follow him anywhere to be honest.

    My respect for you raised hundredfolds. I have seen so many people get high on success that they forget to do things what they actually want to do. You are an inspiration to all of us and a truly genuine person. Whatever you decide to do as your next chapter i wish you best of luck.

    Ben please don’t quit UA-cam at the end, I’m sure there are many locations non soviet related that people would love to see that you have the power to go and see. As others have said you have pulled them out of sadness and depression just by watching your videos as they take our minds of what’s worrying us and make us dive on this insane trip to remote places we’ve never even heard of with you. Please keep it going I’m more than happy to become a patreon to help out with these trips as I’m sure many of us are!!!
