I feel like ben almost broke in tears as he realised for a moment he was truly alone. He seemed to set off for contiki as soon as he announced his break up with Nicole but then got thrown in to a safety net of the story tellers gang. Now he is truly on his own out there. But Brownies will always be there for you Ben!
These are what memories are made of. I mean this is what life is about bonding with people and experiencing the natural beauty this world has to offer. Life is too short remaining cooped up in a stuffy office fretting about keeping up with your next bill. By the time you know it you will look back with regret at not living life fully. Mt Ben Brown is the equivalent of the richest man in the world it's just that his wealth cannot be measured materially. It's just that not everyone is as fortunate to live the lifestyle he leads.
You're experiencing a lot of happy hallo's in the world but also a lot of emotional goodbyes! Bitter sweet feeling! But then again you also get to meet a lot of Gary's
Even if you can´t see your brownies, we can see you through our computers, and laptops and phones and… Thanks to you we can experience all that awesomeness and are your very own personal "travel group". So basically you are never really alone :)
I started getting teary as soon as you started tearing up! It just proves that there's no better way to meet new people and get to know them as well as you do when you travel together...
Awwwh, it would have been very sad to leave everyone, but just know you have made some friends for life and have beds to sleep in all over the world now! You also have one in Australia if you ever need it. Louis has met me, so he can vouch for me not being a psycho! lol. So you are very welcome any time to crash in the karma pad :)
I'm someone who doesn't normally get that emotional over things, but man when he was tearing up he in turn made me tear up :') So so sad/happy/emotional everything :'D
If you're ever lonely just send out a tweet and I'm sure there will be a Brownie in the area that will be happy to just hang out or adventure around for the day with you! You have a really good fan base because we all appreciate you as a person and as a really talented vlogger. We're definitely always here for you!
I actually cried when you said goodbye to your friends. It made me realize how important friendships are and that you have to live your life to the fullest. Thanks Ben, for making me realize that! :) love x
I like ALL of your vlogs but this Contiki tour stood out for me from the rest. Such nice people and I understand why you were emotional to leave them. Awesome you've made friends from all around the world. Hopefully one day you will be able to hang out with these awesome people again!
Your such a dude, really inspirational. Watch all of your videos for about 6 months now and still look forward to the next one. If your ever in Essex let me know !
Ben, I've seen a bunch of UA-camrs film Contiki trips, but this one in Costa Rica with such amazing, creative and fun people has been by far the best I've seen. Really makes me want to visit that amazing country!
the transparency of this vlog is pretty amazing - I don't remembering you ever letting yourself cry on one of your vlogs. As a resut, I think the connection w/ your brownies will be even stronger. thanks for trusting yourself with us like that.
I really love your videos because you share so much of your life with us. I feel like we're all really seeing what you're seeing, and the way you edit it together is really cool. I also appreciate that you stayed in to edit footage, but please don't miss out on spending time with your friends to do so!
Oh man, what an emotional vlog Mr. Brown. I really hope you all get to travel together again sometime, seems like a bunch of really great people, you're blessed and are all fortunate to have met one another, god has a plan and everything happens for a reason. Hope Costa Rica treats you very well and hope you feel happier with some good sleep. God bless and always cheers from your Texan Brownie!
Seeing you get emotional like that really shows how much you care about people. You've known them for like 2 weeks and you're getting watery eyes when they left. They really are great people. Please keep in touch with them. You're a good mate, Ben.
I know exactly how you're feeling, Ben! When I studied abroad in Paris I stayed longer than the rest of my friends in the program. I felt SO alone after they'd left, even though I was in the same place I'd been living for five months. You really do make the greatest bonds while traveling!
It's in videos like this that, even if your current mood/situation isn't brilliant, seeing Ben have such a close bond and connection with those people really makes you smile so much and just appreciate the current moment in your life :')
I love your blogs so much Ben! It's so sad saying goodbye to people when travelling, but as they say that's the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more then one place- you will never be completely at home again because a piece of your heart will always be elsewhere...
Aww Ben!! The feels are real. I would be literally sobbing. You did good holding it together til the end. And you'll see them again!! You don't make friends and connections that strong without finding yourselves back together again :) Stay lovely :)
I definitely feel you, Ben! I get the same separation anxiety whenever I leave or have to say good bye to friends that I've been with for a long period of time
Your vlogs are amazing and personally, I find them so engaging! So much happening everyday, it makes me wish I was in Costa Rica and NOT revising for exams :( wish me luck!
"Happiness only real when shared" - christoper mccandless/alex supertramp When you said you were lonely after they left it reminded me of into the wild
I just signed up for this comment : first i have to say, that i love your videos and how you come across in them.i think i'm watching your vlogs for 6 months so far and i'm looking more and more forward to them. Second;i know exactly how you feel.i just came back from travelling almost 4 weeks through north india with a group,i've never met before. During our journey we became so close and after the four weeks past by i felt like i knew them forever. We're from all over the world,just like your group and it just broke my heart to say goodbye to them.after i was back home i had a total post-vacation-depression. But still i found reasons to cheer me up, like the thought of being able to do travels like this for several more times and that it's so easy to stay in contact nowadays. And yes, your videos were another reason that cheered me up. Just be thankfull for the awesome experiences you've made,there are so many more to come. A big hug from germany :)
Goodbye/separation is always the worst and hardest part of something amazing. Seeing you emotional made me emotional, just because I feel like us Brownies have been on this trip with you, well with you on everything you do, and even if you'd been without any physical tears of emotion, you can see it on your face. Thank you for sharing, and here's to the next adventure - I've no doubt there'll be future travel vibes with some of that wonderful bunch of people! xxx
almost cryed ! You are so awesome! Looking up to you ben❤ remember there are so Many of us, thinking on you when you feel lonely or sad! And we Love you , we really do! Can not think of a cooler guy than u! Good night !:)
I truly got emotional watching them go as well. Look forward to more great adventures mate, you will meet many more new people who share the qualities we all loved about this Contiki group.
You're SO inspiring! I hope you realize you inspire so many people, every single day, over and over again! I got a Penny, planned a surf trip, am eating cleaner, doing some exercise and got a bunch of places I want to visit. I also got a man saying "remember to work hard, be nice to people and try not to get lost or killed." to me every day, before I go to bed. Love your veelogs Ben! Have a nice day/a good night everyone. X (If I made grammar mistakes thingies, can someone please correct me, still learning here:) )
It's so sad to leave a friend, your so strong ben. When you go on another trip like this you will make new friends and leave them again ( you can always met them again) :) and also your vlogs are really good
Wow. That was amazing. Goodbyes are hard but i'm sure it won't be the last tine you'll see them. You guys have different life styles but i'm sure you'll get together again one day, maybe not everyone will be present but i'm sure it won't be the last time you'll meet and with the bond that you guys share i'm sure that'll come true. You never stop being creative and that's so inspiring. You have such a great story to tell now based on your travel experiences especially this one and the fact that you're daily vlogging them is so rad. You'll get the chance to look back at these footage with your family 10 years from now. Keep on the good work Ben! Love yah xx
I think I'll go on a Kentucky Tour this weekend. Visit as many KFC stores as possible and upload my adventures to youtube. Peace out don't forget to to get lost and kill the adventure.Enjoy life. BOOOOM shaka laka!!! shaka laka shaka laka WHOOMP there it is, whoomp there it is!!!!! = )
I know how you feel Ben, the first one or two weeks suck but afterwards you will just never be able to holdback a smile when looking back on/thinking about this trip!!
Ben! Your videos are absolutely amazing and wherever you go don't feel lonely because we're always with you! It's amazing how we can travel with a bunch of strangers and then suddenly become great friends. Made me slightly emotional when I saw you cry. Hope to see you soon if we ever meet! :) good luck in life!
You know, I found it so heartwarming and real that you were able to show your emotions! That makes you so likeable! Today's world is so cold... Keep up the awesome work, I'm glad I found your vlogs. x
Didn't think it was possible to like you more than I already do! Beautiful video Ben, I hardly ever cry and you literally had me tear up with this vlog. Thank you Ben for being so committed to your subs and taking the time inspire us all! It truly puts a huge smile on face to watch your videos :)
Cool, I was just surprised to see you emotional here after hanging with these people for a few days and see you so composed after leaving Nicole. It puts in perspective and reminds me we don't see everything in everyones life when they are vlogging. Take Charles and Alli from CTFxC, those 2 have separated and they vlog every day for the last 4 and a half years. Who would ever imagine those 2 separating. It just makes me think more about people vlogging that we don't see their days 24/7. You do an awesome job. You and Louis are 2 of my faves.
Just enjoy the moment man, Remember that in a few days you'll be back with family and friends but today you get to surf, eat and sleep as much as you want.
Aww you are just the cutest, you got me all emotional as well! I can really relate to that feeling when something so fun is suddenly over it makes you feel so empty! I really liked the group you were with, the all seemed like such nice, laid-back people! I hope you get to visit them soon :)
It really is amazing how close you get with people you travel with... Sharing a life changing experience and getting to know each and every one of them! And goodbyes are the hardest part!... Enjoy the rest of your time in beautiful Costa Rica! :)
I can't wait for my #contiki trip in august, it looks like an amazing experience. And I really like how you are not afraid to show your emotions and also shed some tears to an heartfelt goodbye.
AWWW B!!! I remember my last day on Contiki...broke down and proper cried on the coach!! Like having your heart ripped out when they leave your side. Best part about an experience like this is that I'm still friends with some of them til' this day and we've just been planning all these cool trips to see each other so not all is lost :')
I started to tear up when you did too. I bet you had an amazing time with great people, hopefully I'll be as happy as you when I'm older and travel the world like you :)
I like the way the girl on the bus explained the reason for choosing you guys, but you still have to be lucky to be in a position where you have a large following on social media in the first place.
I know - of course - that every human being has all different sides and shades of character, but this side of you that you showed to us today wich reveals such a kind, respecting and self reflecting personality helps me to be sure that the world can become a better place every day!!! Keep up your absolutly inspiring work, Mr Ben Brown! :)
OKAY SO DID ANYONE ELSE TEAR UP WHEN BEN STARTED CRYING OR WAS IT JUST ME???? that may have broken my heart a little bit
I feel like ben almost broke in tears as he realised for a moment he was truly alone. He seemed to set off for contiki as soon as he announced his break up with Nicole but then got thrown in to a safety net of the story tellers gang. Now he is truly on his own out there. But Brownies will always be there for you Ben!
So sad, watching these vlogs I felt like I was part of the group...teared myself when Ben cried :'(
These are what memories are made of. I mean this is what life is about bonding with people and experiencing the natural beauty this world has to offer. Life is too short remaining cooped up in a stuffy office fretting about keeping up with your next bill. By the time you know it you will look back with regret at not living life fully. Mt Ben Brown is the equivalent of the richest man in the world it's just that his wealth cannot be measured materially. It's just that not everyone is as fortunate to live the lifestyle he leads.
That's deep, I like it :) thank you x
I so Agree......!!
***** You're welcome dude and thank you for giving us a glimpse of your daily life. Good luck with all your future endeavours mate :)
You're experiencing a lot of happy hallo's in the world but also a lot of emotional goodbyes! Bitter sweet feeling! But then again you also get to meet a lot of Gary's
Even if you can´t see your brownies, we can see you through our computers, and laptops and phones and… Thanks to you we can experience all that awesomeness and are your very own personal "travel group".
So basically you are never really alone :)
Love you guys x
As long as your camera is rolling you're never alone mate!
I started getting teary as soon as you started tearing up! It just proves that there's no better way to meet new people and get to know them as well as you do when you travel together...
I love traveling, but when it comes to leaving friends..sigh its the most weirdest feeling ever.
Awwwh, it would have been very sad to leave everyone, but just know you have made some friends for life and have beds to sleep in all over the world now! You also have one in Australia if you ever need it. Louis has met me, so he can vouch for me not being a psycho! lol. So you are very welcome any time to crash in the karma pad :)
A very emotional day on UA-cam. First the CTFxC-vlog and now this. But it's all a part of life. :)
3:55, she's says that to every group!
Hope Mirae and Ben will still be close, she looked like she was gonna cry when Ben said goodbye .. What a tour !
I'm someone who doesn't normally get that emotional over things, but man when he was tearing up he in turn made me tear up :') So so sad/happy/emotional everything :'D
aw i think we all gonna miss them! just had a few tears when you had to say goodbye.. but at least you're in such a beautiful place!
If you're ever lonely just send out a tweet and I'm sure there will be a Brownie in the area that will be happy to just hang out or adventure around for the day with you! You have a really good fan base because we all appreciate you as a person and as a really talented vlogger. We're definitely always here for you!
You are one of the luckiest people on the planet! You're awesome!
The feels dude the feels
I actually cried when you said goodbye to your friends. It made me realize how important friendships are and that you have to live your life to the fullest. Thanks Ben, for making me realize that! :) love x
Can't wait for visual vibes, South Africa ones were stunningg
"No One Cares Bro" Properly Cracked me up :')
I like ALL of your vlogs but this Contiki tour stood out for me from the rest. Such nice people and I understand why you were emotional to leave them. Awesome you've made friends from all around the world. Hopefully one day you will be able to hang out with these awesome people again!
i seriously teared up when you cried!! I really felt like I was there with you and the guys this whole time! I need to go on a contiki tour ASAP!
Your such a dude, really inspirational. Watch all of your videos for about 6 months now and still look forward to the next one. If your ever in Essex let me know !
it's that same feeling as leaving summer camp when you're a kid.
Love the fact that you don't have a filter and that you are not afraid to show your feelings and who you truly are in camera , hope you never change.
Ben, I've seen a bunch of UA-camrs film Contiki trips, but this one in Costa Rica with such amazing, creative and fun people has been by far the best I've seen. Really makes me want to visit that amazing country!
sh*t man! Seeing you cry made me cry. Like if we were bffs.
the transparency of this vlog is pretty amazing - I don't remembering you ever letting yourself cry on one of your vlogs. As a resut, I think the connection w/ your brownies will be even stronger.
thanks for trusting yourself with us like that.
A beautiful experience. The parting of ways made me tear up.
I really love your videos because you share so much of your life with us. I feel like we're all really seeing what you're seeing, and the way you edit it together is really cool. I also appreciate that you stayed in to edit footage, but please don't miss out on spending time with your friends to do so!
Oh man, what an emotional vlog Mr. Brown. I really hope you all get to travel together again sometime, seems like a bunch of really great people, you're blessed and are all fortunate to have met one another, god has a plan and everything happens for a reason. Hope Costa Rica treats you very well and hope you feel happier with some good sleep. God bless and always cheers from your Texan Brownie!
Seeing you get emotional like that really shows how much you care about people. You've known them for like 2 weeks and you're getting watery eyes when they left. They really are great people. Please keep in touch with them. You're a good mate, Ben.
Whenever you feel lonely, just remember you have 124,000 friends that are with you every day!
I know exactly how you're feeling, Ben! When I studied abroad in Paris I stayed longer than the rest of my friends in the program. I felt SO alone after they'd left, even though I was in the same place I'd been living for five months. You really do make the greatest bonds while traveling!
when ben cried i cried😣😣😣😣😣

Aww it wish some of the people stayed with you! They were so awesome! But I'm super jealous of your adventures!
I watch a lot of UA-camr's videos, but I can most definitely say you have the kindest, most sweetest heart of them all. :)
I definitely feel you, Ben! I get the same separation anxiety whenever I leave or have to say good bye to friends that I've been with for a long period of time
Your vlogs are amazing and personally, I find them so engaging! So much happening everyday, it makes me wish I was in Costa Rica and NOT revising for exams :( wish me luck!

I never saw Ben crying
Ben did not even cry when he left Nicole after spending several months with his girlfriend in South Africa.
***** I did just not on camera!
Cool, I was just surprised to see you emotional here after hanging with these people for a few days and see you so composed after leaving Nicole.
It puts in perspective and reminds me we don't see everything in everyones life when they are vlogging.
Take Charles and Alli from CTFxC, those 2 have separated and they vlog every day for the last 4 and a half years.
Who would ever imagine those 2 separating.
It just makes me think more about people vlogging that we don't see their days 24/7.
You do an awesome job.
You and Louis are 2 of my faves.
Just enjoy the moment man, Remember that in a few days you'll be back with family and friends but today you get to surf, eat and sleep as much as you want.
Aww you are just the cutest, you got me all emotional as well! I can really relate to that feeling when something so fun is suddenly over it makes you feel so empty! I really liked the group you were with, the all seemed like such nice, laid-back people! I hope you get to visit them soon :)
1:42 all together now... 'IT'S A SAD SAD SITUATION!'
Loved the Costa Rica vibes, can't wait for the extra adventures that i cannot wait for the Brownies and you to experience!
I'm crying. omg
It really is amazing how close you get with people you travel with... Sharing a life changing experience and getting to know each and every one of them! And goodbyes are the hardest part!... Enjoy the rest of your time in beautiful Costa Rica! :)
My heart broke when you cried ben ;) love you !
Bens the man! Goodbyes suck! All such amazing people, i am following them all! See you at the next vlog!
Awww bless you Ben! you're an amazing person!
I can't wait for my #contiki trip in august, it looks like an amazing experience.
And I really like how you are not afraid to show your emotions and also shed some tears to an heartfelt goodbye.
AWWW B!!! I remember my last day on Contiki...broke down and proper cried on the coach!! Like having your heart ripped out when they leave your side. Best part about an experience like this is that I'm still friends with some of them til' this day and we've just been planning all these cool trips to see each other so not all is lost :')
I started to tear up when you did too. I bet you had an amazing time with great people, hopefully I'll be as happy as you when I'm older and travel the world like you :)
Aww love you ben, you're so genuine and lovely! You deserve everything xx
holy crap you've got such a kind heart.
I adore you. You have the coolest adventures! Thanks for showing us!
I like the way the girl on the bus explained the reason for choosing you guys, but you still have to be lucky to be in a position where you have a large following on social media in the first place.
Lucky = hard work + recognising/taking opportunities
It was really strange to see you up set. I hope you feel better soon I am sure you will, with all the positivity you have lv u Ben xx
Your videos literally represent what I'd love my life to be like
Why say goodbye? When you could definitely say "I'll see you later" Goodbye means forever, & some of us don't want that. Love ya Ben.
I know - of course - that every human being has all different sides and shades of character, but this side of you that you showed to us today wich reveals such a kind, respecting and self reflecting personality helps me to be sure that the world can become a better place every day!!!
Keep up your absolutly inspiring work, Mr Ben Brown! :)
Ben thank you for always being so real, honest, and sincere. Love getting to tag along on your adventures!! Love ya bye :)
I genuinely got quite emotional when they left :(
