What a great channel from Simon Wilson. I've not started my travels YET !! But to see your POV (point of view) experience....I get a real experience of what I shall experience as a singleton. Sometimes putting me off sometimes encouraging me to try myself !! but warts and all is like having a friend who tells it like it is...exactly as I want ;-) Respect Mr Wilson.
@@hemasingh8033 The pyramids have an honorary status but they dont belong to the 7 wonders. Simon is still missing Chichen Itza, Machu Picchu and Christo Redentor.
I edit professionally as well. I think the color is primarily just the Canon camera's natural color science. That being said, the quality of the edit, the ridiculously quick turn around, and general style is really impressive. Simon must roll on pretty much everything so just sifting through footage alone must take hours. Although it helps he freshly remembers everything that's relevant to the edit. As someone who works in production, it'd be great if Simon could shoot on a camera with 4K raw with 15 stops of dynamic range and have a crazy cinema setup. But that's both overkill for UA-cam and impossible to feasibly execute for vlog style content. Come to New York again, Simon! I'll film something cool for you on a cinema camera hahaha.
Jeremy Levy Its great to find a like minded individual, I’ve always been on the fence with canon camera’s the amount of damaged ones our business has with broken audio jacks. I felt it was the colour curves with Final Cut Pro, people do not understand the amount of time it takes to produce a piece of content like this. When we produce a series of feature film we have 4/5 months hand on work plus consulting in principal photography. I’m relatively new this channel but this guy is next level in my opinion.
@@jordylyons4648 Likewise, allows us to appreciate Simon's work on a technical/creative level a bit more. I personally hate Canon cameras for video, they're good for still photography or vlog style of course, but not for any major production IMO. Unless you're using a C200 or C300 or something, but their DSLR lineup isn't great. But yeah, it takes an insane amount of time. Luckily I'm sure Simon is smart about it and has his go to library of assets so he doesn't have to re-create things all the time. Just quickly JKL through the footage and cut where necessary. Even then though the polish is damn good for how little time he has to finish each video. I don't work on feature length content often, but just knowing how even small videos for corporate clients takes ages to finish I know what you're talking about.
Jeremy Levy Just tired of muppets thinking these are threw together in 5 minutes, there’s 3 days work there i know I’m a editing geek but I’m super impressed with the content on this channel, I know title cards can be pre-produced but you’re bang on trying to pace a story when you’ve got hours of footage to sift through.
I’ve taken my drone through airport security several times, flying through New York, Florida, São Paulo, Mexico City, Cancun, Toronto and many other places. Never had an issue.
Quality Series by a quality youtuber. Loving this series so much. You're a clear inspiration to many others wanting to make people travel like you. Nothings impossible ✈️
Honestly, never seen such fascinating yet unique content like this series. This really is what 'challenge' should be like. You put in so much effort into everything you do and it definitely shows, amazing videos Simon. Please don't stop! Absolutely my favourite series on UA-cam rn!
That was actually the best ad I've seen on VPN, talking from personal experience and needs plus hitting the basic points the client wants GET THAT COIN MATE
Having done a decent amount of travelling myself, I am absolutely amazed how Simon is still awake and not stuck to a toilet somewhere in an airport- lack of sleep and jetlag would have ruined me by now! Keep going!
I went to China last year with my school and the people their are so incredibly nice and kind. I met a mum and her child and they gave me bags of Chinese sweets, traditional items and toys. I’d love to go back, especially to see the Great Wall again!
@@baguette5113 He is saying that Simons channel is underrated, which basically means that he thinks that Simon doesn´t get enough attention considering the content he puts out. I don´t see anything wrong with the word he chose, do you?
I had such a bad day today.. just struggling with work and life in general and I was feeling so down, I actually cried. Then I got home and this video was already open because I was watching your videos last night, so I just clicked play. When the camera cut to you on the kids ride and you said: "What is goin on ere?" I cracked up and it just lifted my spirits.. I can't even stress how good your content is.
Morgan Nagrom okay, okay! I’m sure we can all agree that that’s not okay and that’s just cruel but I’m talking in general! They are inviting and I felt welcome everywhere I went!
@morgannagrom8336t hey cough and grunt a lot, pick their nose alot and spend the majority on their phones while walking and not noticed anything around them
Every episode gets more and more exciting. I don’t know how you do it!!! But it is very inspiring and motivating. You are definitely living life mate! 💫💫💫
I love these videos! You should do it all again! I really like seeing the friendships and people you meet in these countries! The world is a wonderful place
I loved this video so much, you are so lucky you found so many English speaking helpful people! When I was on the wall I took the zip line back down to the bottom, such an unforgettable experience, good luck Simon!!
One of the best yet! Netflix needs to sign Simon up for a dedicated travel show!!! His VPN ad was also really well done and got me to sign up right away. Least we can do to support him for these awesome videos!
I'm really impressed with this 7 Wonders Of The World series and Simon's excellent video edits. However, it's a pity he's going to miss about one of the Wonders, either Brazil or Peru. Technically you could argue there are 8 wonders of the world, including the pyramids as honorary status.
Dee Raz it is a pity but he will technically still complete the 7 wonders in 7 days challenge. Hopefully he will do another video for the one he misses!
So much effort u r putting for us... No rest except while on flights otherwise all the time rushing... Most lovable part is that he worries all the the time to get back to the airport ✈️ to take the flight to the other destination... Iam afraid did he actually enjoyed the wonders or enjoyed the airports 😄😄😄
Always loved bald and bankrupt and Harald Baldr, but Simon has this thing with each video feeling like a big adventure no matter what. Love those other guys videos but now I might’ve just found my favorite youtubwr
You all are welcome in Pakistan .. we never let our guests (esp foreign guests) pay for their food and stay and even transportation. Even we ourselves are broke AF.
I was in bits watching you try to comprehend what you had got yourself into when you saw that kids toboggan ride. Loving these mate. Would love to see a documentary-length supercut.
I’m not first, I’m not last, but when Simon uploads, I click fast
Legendary
Missing no money challenges..how bout Miami to Alaska with no money??😉😉

Simon is class
Another great video from Simon
On the 8th day can you do an overall video of what it was like
Such as how much it cost you
What your favourite place was
Things such as that
Good idea
Shahid Singh i dont know what school you went too mate but they lied

No that’s boring
Some common terms of Simon:
Absolutely
Literally
Thank you very much
Cheers mate
Happy days!
What a great man
Dipro Prattoy see you later
Look after yourself
Have a good one
I'm absolutely staAaaarvin
What a guy
I’m a professional film editor and the quality of these vlogs, The colour grading and doing these on the fly is so impressive...
I beleive this was previously recorded, so he did not edit whe whole thing in the few hours of sleep he had, still amazing!

Hahahha kiddo ride yeeeeeeeeeey 😂 and his WTF face 😂
#METOO

“What does this say?”
“It’s Chinese”
“Ah Ok”
That was awesome
IWantPizza 4dinner hahaha I think it just a translation in Chinese
Lol...I couldn't stop myself from laughing
I noticed this aswell and i was like.....what????
I’m disappointed at the lack of sneaking into airport lounges🤣🥰
And where are all the spas at these places. ..)
Wouldent wanna risk it hes on tight time
he's already back I guess, this was recorded 25th july :)
@@archieclark6240 thats the best way to spell wouldn't, I love it lol

Have you had any problems with carrying a drone through multiple airports? As a frequent traveller I’m curious.
I’ve taken my drone through airport security several times, flying through New York, Florida, São Paulo, Mexico City, Cancun, Toronto and many other places. Never had an issue.
Quality Series by a quality youtuber.
Loving this series so much. You're a clear inspiration to many others wanting to make people travel like you.
Nothings impossible ✈️

Sign this man up to Vice and throw more money at him!
Aaron Wood yes lad
Don't insult this man by comparing him to Vice. Vice is a crappy that went downhill a decade ago.
this is so good.
Ok
The year is 2020. I'm in the middle of a pandemic watching a Welsh bloke go down the Great Wall of China on a kids' ride. Never thought that'd happen
The pandemic is thankfully long gone at this point! Watching these brilliant videos again 😂
the fact that he chose to travel to the 7 wonders in 7 days in SUMMER with only 3 BLACK shirts blows my mind
Misbah Hussain idk how this guy keeps going
I’ve been to the Great Wall, it’ unbelievable. Anyways, You deserve more subs. Hugely underrated🙏🏻
You clearly don't know what underrated means

not a fan of sponsors in general (but know they are necessary), but thanks for making them relevant to you and your channel.
This man is determined and it's so motivating
I visited China 2 years ago and went to the Great Wall! I agree, the Chines people are so friendly!
They’re not that friendly, have you seen what they do to dogs at their so called ‘festival’
Morgan Nagrom okay, okay! I’m sure we can all agree that that’s not okay and that’s just cruel but I’m talking in general! They are inviting and I felt welcome everywhere I went!

I love these videos! You should do it all again! I really like seeing the friendships and people you meet in these countries! The world is a wonderful place
Nearly there! Loved the bit where you got on the ride going down. Can't believe how steep the wall was.
I loved this video so much, you are so lucky you found so many English speaking helpful people! When I was on the wall I took the zip line back down to the bottom, such an unforgettable experience, good luck Simon!!
Love you Simon ❤️❤️❤️ can’t wait for the next one xx
People in China are almost always nice and helpful. Glad you showed this too the world!
Loving the series Simon one of my favourite series

Loved when he just signed: “WILSON”. Keep the cards close to the chest, mate. Ha.
I love simon as a person, i love his accent, i love his Videos, i love everything about this guy y'all. He is the real deal. KEEP IT UP 👑
Simon:atm?
Chinese tour guide: ATM!
I’m mesmerized about how you just ask for a good seat at the check in desk and get it every time! Pro flyer you are sir
this video idea was so good hope you get good revenue and can make more insane vids like these
I love just watching the most random videos at night and then seeing Simon Wilson pop up. I actually get so excited🔥
Proper love you videos mate been watching for a while now your one of the guys I truly look forward to watching
One of the best yet! Netflix needs to sign Simon up for a dedicated travel show!!!
His VPN ad was also really well done and got me to sign up right away. Least we can do to support him for these awesome videos!
The Chinese girl at the wall was definitely flirting 😂
How you know?
She was just practising her English and showing her mother...
Loving this series so far!! Literally so incredible how you managed to do all that
Keep doing these videos man and next time collab with London Hacks for travel videos!
11:50 that lady was lovely another great person among the many Simons met on his adventures

That taxi absolutely ripped you Off big time lol
Watching this vlog again whilst I wait for Mexico!
A love this guy. What a kind and nice human being
Absolutely amazing Wish you had 5 million subscribers
So much effort u r putting for us... No rest except while on flights otherwise all the time rushing... Most lovable part is that he worries all the the time to get back to the airport ✈️ to take the flight to the other destination...

Absolute madman
Always loved bald and bankrupt and Harald Baldr, but Simon has this thing with each video feeling like a big adventure no matter what. Love those other guys videos but now I might’ve just found my favorite youtubwr
Congrats on the guiness world record,cause u finished this challenge about a week ago
I have been waiting for this since last nights Episode, I couldn’t stop thinking about this challenge in work all day today . Amazing!
imagine being a taxi driver and your passenger starts doing a surfshark ad in the back
I was just at the Great Wall last week, it was incredible!! Amazing views. A must do if visiting Beijing.
“Mr D, im at the bottom but im at the wrong bottom” 🤣😂
Love this series and love the different types of challenges you're doing on your channel. Keeps it interesting. Keep up the awesome work Simon!
Amazing series!! You deserve so many more subscribers 😀😀
I’m watching this in my social studies class and I got so addicted to this series that I started to watch at home
Can you sum up how much you're spending per trip in possible at the end of the series
You're a legend Simon bro. Your videos have helped me through some tough time. They always put a smile on my face. Big up to you mate, take care x
This series is beyond fascinating.
Still ... Not used to see Simon going around paying for everything 😂
It's after 5 in the morning and I'm watching these. So glad I found your channel a couple of months ago. So good!
best UA-camr.. love you Simon ♥️👍
This should have more likes it's so good I have watched this whole series 3 times
Laughed my arse off when you ended up on a toboggan😂
What a true inspiration you are simon you show us anything is possible if you put your mind to it keep up the great work
LOVING THESE VIDEOS YOU SHOULD TRY A NO MONEY CHALLENGE IN PAKISTAN THEY LEGIT GIVE YOU EVERYTHING FOR FREE !!!!

K...
You all are welcome in Pakistan .. we never let our guests (esp foreign guests) pay for their food and stay and even transportation. Even we ourselves are broke AF.
@Red Balloon It's not safe for Christians.
Just watch out for Mujahideen😱
These weren't coming up in my recommendations but I was happy to see see that they had a lot to watch
came here because this video was featured on the Chinese main state media Xinhua News!!😂 great job Simon☺️
me too
Seriously the best video series on youtube
He's without air pods 😱
Its crazy that the vlogs are almost IRL to us. You keep on pushing and still makes the videos coming in fast.
It’s funny how Simon has 10,000 likes and there’s about a 10,000 like difference between dislikes and likes!
Well done mate! Absolutely incredible
This comment makes me angry because I remember a time when you could see the number of dislikes
I always get so excited when simon uploads a new video, this serie has been amazing
Hi random person scrolling through the comments. I hope u have a very successful life 💰😁
TopBins right back at you!
Hello
vice-versa fam
TopBins I will!!!!! Hard work no sleep
Aha just signed a new deal with my agent
Hands down my favourite UA-camr
Glad that you didn't try to do the 7 Wonders using a £40 car 😂
I was in bits watching you try to comprehend what you had got yourself into when you saw that kids toboggan ride. Loving these mate. Would love to see a documentary-length supercut.
OMG !! Simon reaction on the Bus is killing me ! :D XDDD
They did have individual toboggans as well. I went on it when I went to the wall myself and it was super cool
Feel like I’m going on this journey with you!
So good having daily content from you Simon what a series and what a youtuber
Mr D would love to come to Newcastle
I can't get enough of your videos bro
Is it possible for you to share the cost of everything at the end of your journey please?
Literally the best series on UA-cam at the moment!! Keep it up Simon
What does this say?

I lived this one Great Wall very much was always thinking how to go you showed exact way to go about..
Laughing my head off when he realises it’s a kid ride

God Bless Harald for introducing me to your vlogs! Great Adventure! Loved your Mexico Trip with those two ! Keep Safe !!
