I don’t know how I got to this part of UA-cam but wow. This is the type of adventure that NO ONE would believe if it wasn’t recorded. What a wild experience.
How come? Sex trafficking is a real thing and it happens a lot, aswell as prostitution and exploitation, moreover in places like Vietnam or Thailand where the tourism sometimes involves such things. Don't get me wrong I loved the video, and I also think of it as a crazy experience, however, I think most people would believe everything that happened. Couldn't it be?
A tip: don't walk into a random hotel lobby or spa looking building called a "nhà nghỉ", it's most likely a brothel. Instead, find a bigger more official looking building called a "khách sạn", which is usually an actual hotel. The men in the video were prostitutes, and it was an uncomfortable situation but it's not their fault that this guy walked into the wrong place.
@@sarahe2274 Hard to say without context, and his accent is quite thick and a bit slurred/stumbled (alcohol probably) but I think I could make out a few words. He says something about "travel [something...] is not the way [something...]"? If I were to guess, based on the body language though, I think he was basically trying to say don't be shy you can stay longer.
I really love that you dont edit out the bad parts of traveling. It's not always sunshine and rainbows but its refreshing to see a travelers video showing that reality.
Wow, this video has everything, hysterical comedy, human traffickers, gay men who want sucky sucky, scams, sadness, anger, memorial, reminiscing, completing a massive goal... damn! Congrats on making it to Japan and I truly hope you do not stop making videos after you finish this trip.
Man has been through a lot. I can't thank you enough for showing such raw sides of every country. Thanks again for entertaining us all. You deserve the best ending in Japan, for sure.
Just check out HHHV 2008 or Phu Quoc or Nha Trang or Thai Cong to see Japan is not a paradise. Also, check out Bana Hills. Japanese live in tiny apartments and the meat is super expensive. Japan is overrated.

yah similar, you're really not the sharpest tool in the shed man but you got heart and watching this stuff is always fun for other travelers. Brings back memories.@@SmallBrainedAmerican
Unfortunately human trafficking happens in plain sight in all corners of the globe. I’ve seen it myself in rural America. It’s so scary when you see it out in the open like that for the first time. To feel so objectified and disgusted with humanity. I’m sorry that there are so many creeps out there.
Not so fun fact is that a majority of victims aren't snatched off the street but are rather sold by people close to them, often parents or direct friends of the family. Taken isn't based on a true story, but that's the romantic version used for propaganda like Sound of Freedom
My wife speaks Vietnamese and she said the guys in the hotel thought u were gay and he was definitely trying to get u into a threesome Your feelings are right he was even trying to pay you at the end omg!! That’s crazy because I lived in Vietnam for seven years and I’ve never come acros or heard of something like this before uhave the best luck or maybe you’re just too handsome 😂 Keep up the vids bro luv ya.
The lady and everyone else were hand jesturing you to use chopsticks and not pick up the food with your hands hence why the lady swiped your hand off of the food. The lady on the left of the other person attempting to give you chopsticks said "It's ok, he doesn't know. Let him"
I was looking for an explanation for when he was at the wedding. I thought she was mad he was taking food but that didn’t seem right since they were all so nice and welcoming lol thanks!
@@InsaneD602 what does your comment have to do with this thread? He is american. From georgia he states that in this video, not sure what you mean though or if your agreeing to him being american. Your comment is just so random lols
@@SmallBrainedAmericanYea.. Thats the kinda dirty you cant wash out in the shower. I got second hand violated from just witnessing that, lol. Damn, son.
@@nury6197 Nah. That guy didnt even work there. The lady that did worked there turn to him and ask in vietnamese, excuse me, but do you know how to translate". It seem the man took advantage of the situation and brought poor dude up to the room to get his mouth stuffed with eggrolls.
this is actually so fucking great. its such raw, uncensored footage of what Vietnam is really like and I love how you experience everything. You can't go wrong with beer and tobacco in a foreign country.
@@sparkeyjones6261 plus, its interesting seeing a (i think) mostly monolingual american figure out how to communicate with people different than him, and his perspective and comments on the differences and occasional similarities in culture, food, and environment. he seems relatively respectful and they can probably understand that hes a confused american. i mean, hell, look at his damn channel name
I love how Vietnamese party goers are playing an American style pop-disco song about a Russian. A song that written a by German song writers, whose lead vocalist is a Dutchman who speaks English. We truly are one world, united by music.
I did so much traveling when I was in the military and hated it. I have not been on a plane or gone anywhere farther than five miles from my house since 2012 and that is just fine with me.
Man I found your videos and can’t stop showing them to my husband . The raw emotion you show is fantastic . And I love that you’re honest about sharing your thoughts as you experience things
"I need a hotel room, for sleeping. Like this..but with no one in it" I'm dying 😂 Unbelievable, keepin it real bro! Loving your channel, I'm living the same life, great stuff to see. Keep it up, and safe travels!
@@PB22559if you look closely, the sign on the left before he walked in had the hourly rate “80-100/2h”. Anyone with a brain can discern what that means 😂
thats exactly what happened, same thing if you accidently park in the lot lizard spot at a truck stop or enter the glory hole stall by "accident" like i have. or like how when i go to gay bars for some reason all these dudes hit on me?
So can anyone explain what's the deal with the other guy in the room? Like is the guy with the wad of cash the pimp or was he the blower?? It was so funny but confusing and scary all @ the same time loo
40 minute video, yet entertaining all the way through. The crazy and disturbing moments were so real and raw, but it was brilliant to see the real world through your videos. Keep making them, man, you are definintely breaking through with this channel!
I felt happy, shocked and sad watching this video. It was sad to see how things turned sour for you at the airport just when you were looking forward to leaving Vietnam. Love your content Connor!!!!
hearing you laugh in a situation that would stress me the fuck out genuinely calmed me down and made me realize i need to take shit in stride. thanks for that.
This channel will blow up if you do future travel adventures. You have all the ingredients needed for success. The only thing you need for millions of subs is if you keep going.
Man, I'm sorry for all the difficulties you've had, hope it was worth it in the long run. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, It's been amazing.
This dude is so friggin rad. He's just down for whatever and makes it work. He shows that you don't need to speak the language to get along in a foreign country.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who looked this up.. but "Literally translated 'nhà nghỉ' is 'rest house', but over the years it has become a euphemism for 'love hotel'." (thanks google) lol but I love your videos! thanks for doing this stuff!
He had to know and went in there for youtube content. There are places all over the world just like that. He's not naive. He's well traveled and intelligent.
@@someguy9301 no, Nhà Nhỉ simply means small hotel or Rest House Its name is Ngân Hà Meaning Milky Ways but they did not pay any attention to Ngân Hà Or Mi.W, it is just a name. and the old man was just there who happen to see this handsome young man is too irresistible to not try to hook up
I laughed so hard when they were getting you to drink the rice wine at that party! Such generous people allowing you to be apart of their ceremony. Music transcends language barriers. Alcohol breaks down the walls. Stay safe my friend. Id love to travel with you!
Except that one woman who slapped his hand away from the snack table that was offered to him, she even got on her phone to (what seemed to be) report him lol Vietnamese Karen! Haha 😅
the subtitles on this video specifically killed me - Great work on the content! Always love watching your videos- they've been getting me through rough times and motivated me to book my own solo trip.
I also recently discovered your channel and i hate the fact that you are so underrated. I love your videos because they are showing the reality and with your arrive in Japan we all saw that how much difference is between the different countries. Keep safe dude !! Love from Romania
I just discovered your channel and this is the most hilarious video. I love your brutal honesty, its so funny and also so refreshing compared to most other travel UA-camrs. The ending just reminded me so much of Michael Palin's around the world in 80 days. He arrives back in London to his final stop and he's not allowed inside and its a huge anti-climax and he wants to shout and tell everyone he's just travelled across the world but nobody cares and life goes on. I have subscribed and now I'm going to go back and watch your journey across the world!
Bro your one of the most underrated UA-camrs ,your videos are every educational,humble and hilarious!! Doesn’t know the local language “I love you” to everyone 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you deserve millions of subscribers 🙌🏽
Im vietnamese, and I confirm a lot from these videos is a lie. Like the random fake subtitle during the first part of the video when he visit rural area like: kill white men or democracy stuff, all fake subtitle. 2nd: the hotel experience, the man doesnt have any bad intention, it's a bit confusing for westerners but in vietnam many hotel like this where strangers live i one room, i think it's the owner fault for bad explaining. And for the airport, not enough context but if it's our fault, im really sorry for his bad experience
Man this guy is literally living the life that most of us can only dream of! I am in awe of this, its all just so raw. Feels like we are kinda with him throughout. But I have to say my favorite was in Burma, those guys you met were gold 🥇 Hats off dude, great content & thanks for the journey 👏🏻👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊 🇨🇦
Before the pandemic, I went on a 3-weeks motorbike route from Saigon to Hanoi with my girlfriend, detoured over to Danang for a bit. We never got lucky enough to randomly crash a wedding, but I met some of the most welcoming and friendly people on this route. We had some random person paid for our lunch without us knowing when he left. We were so confused when we tried to pay and the owner wouldn't accept the money. Neither us nor the owner speak each other's language, but Google Translate came to the rescue. Incredibly kind people, and the scenery was beautiful.
I've lived in Vietnam for five years and I love the people here. So friendly and fun. Sometimes you run into slightly shady situations but nothing too crazy. Hope you enjoyed your time. Interesting that you needed a visa just to transit through Korea. Unless you had a self transfer that should not be needed. Ive had several layovers there and never needed a visa.
Your interpretations are hilarious. I'd have to say this documentation of your experience is very different from others (in a good way) - not editing anything out by glamorizing your experience but showing us viewers the reality of your travel, your experience with the countries, its people, and its culture. It's raw and it's real. What an amazing adventure and journey. I applaud you for handling and managing everything so well, especially in stressful situations. Im glad to have clicked on this video. Will have to watch and follow everything from the beginning now. Thanks for sharing your journey with us! A few tidbits - 9:15 He's HMong (Vietnamese) and asking you to take a picture with him. The ladies at the pho restaurant were also HMong, but I could only pick out certain words as theyre talking. 27:50 XOXO. 37:40 "Hooray, Wisconsin!" 😅🙌 39:42 Wow. He's absolutely right. 💯
So sorry that you ended your trip in Vietnam with such bad luck but having watched many of your videos, you have had so much good luck that it was bound to even out a bit. Thanks for sharing your trip!
What I like about this channel is your personality. You give us your honest opinion regardless if it’s not polite. You keep it real and that’s good. I’m glad I found this channel.
Dude my favorite part is you just walked in to a wedding party but you are kinda late. Seriously, thank you for making me smile watching your videos. Be safe always.
I love the sounds of you giggling and laughing to yourself trying to drive on the terrible roads at the beginning - That whole thing made my heart smile 😊😅
I have been fortunate to be able to travel to Vietnam twice and I have had a wonderful experience travelling and filming. Recently came across your channel and I am an instant fan of your videos. Binging! brb
New subscriber here. Your footage is so good bro. I feel like I'm on the journey with you. The hell train from India is what drew me in. Keep on traveling this beautiful planet. I'll be witnessing your journeys. Safe travels and great blessings to you
Just found the channel like a couple days ago and I subscribed today. He’s so down to earth, blunt, and really involves himself in the culture and isn’t afraid to go through sketchy but fun experiences. He reminds me of myself😂
My friend! I have come across your journey only in the past month and have been captivated. As someone who is a bit older and has often had deep regret about not having chosen a different direction in life when younger which might have taken me on this kind of path of adventure through our crazy and beautiful world, I thank you for the gift of being able to be able to experience it through your eyes, heart, and laughter. I have also shared your channel with some friends who feel similarly and they too have come to love it. At some point I recall a woman very assuredly saying that you are blessed. I wholeheartedly believe that she was and is very much correct. You unquestionably have a gift. Recognize it, don't let it go to your head, and you'll be good. Numbers will continue to go up, no doubt about it. It may be the end of this particular journey, but it could be just the beginning of so much more if you wish it to be. Straight up, all you gotta do is keep doin' it. Sending some love up to the sky for your Nan. PEACE and THANK YOU!
Same! Seriously I have watched probably over a dozen travel vloggers with millions of subs but I prefer to watch this over any of them something about this guy just seems so genuine I love him 😂
I'm amazed by the persona, the editing, and the branding of this channel. Your attitude is so open and interesting, taking every experience as it comes. Thank you for working to release this content, and so great your channel is blowing up, I'm sure it will only get bigger!
20:07 the LED sign says “ nhà nghỉ ngân hà “ which is Galaxy Motel. So it was a resting spot (motel) but what i’m thinking was those two guys upstairs already got a room and i guess they wanted some action while they were there. It’s possible he told the desk that you were with him instead. i noticed he stood outside probably trying to bait others. glad you made a good decision and left!
I didn't know what I was getting into when I started this video but it was beautiful man. You went through some rough patches but it seemed like quite a conclusion to a fulfilling trip and I'm honestly amazed at how you pulled it off. I'm subscribing and I hope you have even more adventures ahead bro. Great job 👏
The Vietnamese people are so kind and beautiful. I love my people, was just there in July. So glad you got to witness there humble hearts. All love in Vietnam
@@houstoncathey458 No, it is just a regular tiny hotel with women customers. The gay old man just happens to be outside and sees this attractive American who is looking for a one-hour stay and wants to get him into a threesome without knowing the impact of getting his face on UA-cam which is a valuable opportunity to become very interesting video that looks like a set-up.
my dude connor your channel is amazing and very inspirational,,it shows the reality of life no drama,how you go through all of these obstacles and keep going,,keep it up,hope you stay safe
I was fortunate enough to find this amazing channel today & have binged it for the entire day, one of, if not the best travel vlog series ever. I have travelled solo for several months myself and it is not smooth sailing as the other SEO targeted travel vloggers will have you believe. this is the only channel which really shows just how amazingly weird, awkward & interesting it really is. hats off to you mate, look forward to what you do in the future. also that hotel situation was genuinely one of the scariest things I have seen on YT, fuck that guy.
honestly since i came across your Colombia playlist Colombia, i was amazed by how you manage through all of it despite the cartagena event which at least ended well unlike with me in 2015 living in Bucaramanga, left with 6 stab wounds... so i felt for you the second i saw that one happening and im sorry it happened to you. its an interesting journey seeing one by one all of your well acclaimed adventures! wish you happiness! stay safe
Man, I feel your pain at the end there. I don't know why but shit like that happens way too often with flying. Following the rules trying to do what you're supposed to, still end up looking like the bad guy/having to do soo much to get your flight or in your case, not get it at all.. It sucks and definitely needs improvement. Thank you for all the vids!!
You dancing at the wedding reminded me of some kind of video game cut scene lmao. Just, the entire vibe of it was surreal. I couldn’t stop laughing in utter confusion yet delight. Your reactions to it all were priceless yet so very understandable XD Fr though, I could never do this. The danger of going somewhere with little knowledge of the language and then to more rural parts…absolutely frightening (yet also intriguing). I’m so glad you survived it all 😭

The lady and everyone else were hand jesturing you to use chopsticks and not pick up the food with your hands hence why the lady swiped your hand off of the food. The lady on the left of the other person attempting to give you chopsticks said "It's ok, he doesn't know. Let him"
I was looking for an explanation for when he was at the wedding. I thought she was mad he was taking food but that didn’t seem right since they were all so nice and welcoming lol thanks!
do u know what the man with the gray t shirt that followed him after the party was saying or what do he need ??
Don’t know how your channel isn’t bigger, you unknowingly walking into these crazy adventures/ scenarios is Hilarious 😂
righttt he tryna get a hotel n the guy tryna guive head nahhhh
He doesn't have an accent haha most of the big travel youtubers aren't American. At least that I've seen
Facts
Trust by the end of the year he’ll be at half a mil or close to a mil. His content is good and it’s starting to get a lot of traction :)
@@InsaneD602 what does your comment have to do with this thread? He is american. From georgia he states that in this video, not sure what you mean though or if your agreeing to him being american. Your comment is just so random lols
That “hotel” experience made me shiver. I would never travel anywhere alone 😰
Yeah that was fucked
i’m so sorry that happened ew
@@SmallBrainedAmericanYea.. Thats the kinda dirty you cant wash out in the shower. I got second hand violated from just witnessing that, lol. Damn, son.
I believe the other guy in the room would do those things to you for money..? Not you to him😂😂
@@nury6197 Nah. That guy didnt even work there. The lady that did worked there turn to him and ask in vietnamese, excuse me, but do you know how to translate". It seem the man took advantage of the situation and brought poor dude up to the room to get his mouth stuffed with eggrolls.
Dude you are the coolest youtuber of 2024. I laughed super hard at your jokes, captions and video edits. Very well done amazing series!
this is actually so fucking great. its such raw, uncensored footage of what Vietnam is really like and I love how you experience everything. You can't go wrong with beer and tobacco in a foreign country.
That was raw? I saw a clueless American bumbling around Asia and acting surprised when things were different.
@@sparkeyjones6261 thats just americans lol
@@sparkeyjones6261 plus, its interesting seeing a (i think) mostly monolingual american figure out how to communicate with people different than him, and his perspective and comments on the differences and occasional similarities in culture, food, and environment. he seems relatively respectful and they can probably understand that hes a confused american. i mean, hell, look at his damn channel name
@@sparkeyjones6261how is he acting surprised? He just seems interested in the country he’s experiencing for the first time.
I’m Vietnamese but I’ve never been to Vietnam, seeing the wedding reminds me so much of my family I was laughing so hard during the entire scene
the way they welcomed him is so sweet 😭
were the translations a joke or are they correct lol?
theyre a joke@@colruytgaming8365
@@colruytgaming8365 they’re mostly joking hehe
it said happy moon month tho?
I love how Vietnamese party goers are playing an American style pop-disco song about a Russian. A song that written a by German song writers, whose lead vocalist is a Dutchman who speaks English. We truly are one world, united by music.
I noticed that, too. Frank Farian died yesterday - he would have loved to see how far his music traveled.
@@tikirama8427 Oh it get's weirder. Apparently, two of Boney M's singers are Jamaican and one is Peruvian.
Sorry, Arubian, not Peruvian. So many layers I can't keep track.
SHOUT OUT PABST BLUE RIBBON !!!!! LETSFUCKINGGOOOOOOOOOO WORLDS BEST BEER
I did so much traveling when I was in the military and hated it. I have not been on a plane or gone anywhere farther than five miles from my house since 2012 and that is just fine with me.
Ok….
As I said - you are awesome. Thanks for entertaining us and I hope this small thank you gets you closer to where you are going!
holy fuck thanks man. thats crazy.
Holy shit that’s a big donation
What a champ
Alasdair Boyd is the fuckin man.
He's not going to suck you off, even if you donate $160. We know it's you, the same guy from the dingy motel room
Man I found your videos and can’t stop showing them to my husband . The raw emotion you show is fantastic . And I love that you’re honest about sharing your thoughts as you experience things
I love you just nonchalantly saying “I love you” to random people 😂😂
honestly i find it beautiful when him and that guy were bonding over the word “ok”, it shows no matter how different we are we can always be kind.
"I need a hotel room, for sleeping. Like this..but with no one in it" I'm dying 😂
Unbelievable, keepin it real bro! Loving your channel, I'm living the same life, great stuff to see.
Keep it up, and safe travels!
It was a knocking shop. If he had his wits about him, he'd have realised that. The name of the place was 'the milky way'.
@brianpena2239 no way 💀💀💀
Dude must act like that on purpose no way lmao.
@@PB22559if you look closely, the sign on the left before he walked in had the hourly rate “80-100/2h”. Anyone with a brain can discern what that means 😂
Re: The hotel encounter. That was a "Love Hotel". It's designed for short term enounters like that. Might've just wandered into the wrong place lol
That’s what I was thinking lol
I think he knows that, I refuse to believe someone is this dumb.
thats exactly what happened, same thing if you accidently park in the lot lizard spot at a truck stop or enter the glory hole stall by "accident" like i have. or like how when i go to gay bars for some reason all these dudes hit on me?
So can anyone explain what's the deal with the other guy in the room? Like is the guy with the wad of cash the pimp or was he the blower?? It was so funny but confusing and scary all @ the same time loo
@@i.still.function3463exactly even in love hotel terms everything was so damn bizarre
40 minute video, yet entertaining all the way through. The crazy and disturbing moments were so real and raw, but it was brilliant to see the real world through your videos. Keep making them, man, you are definintely breaking through with this channel!
I felt happy, shocked and sad watching this video. It was sad to see how things turned sour for you at the airport just when you were looking forward to leaving Vietnam. Love your content Connor!!!!
hearing you laugh in a situation that would stress me the fuck out genuinely calmed me down and made me realize i need to take shit in stride. thanks for that.
This channel will blow up if you do future travel adventures. You have all the ingredients needed for success. The only thing you need for millions of subs is if you keep going.
Man, I'm sorry for all the difficulties you've had, hope it was worth it in the long run. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, It's been amazing.
This dude is so friggin rad. He's just down for whatever and makes it work. He shows that you don't need to speak the language to get along in a foreign country.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who looked this up.. but "Literally translated 'nhà nghỉ' is 'rest house', but over the years it has become a euphemism for 'love hotel'." (thanks google) lol but I love your videos! thanks for doing this stuff!
He had to know and went in there for youtube content. There are places all over the world just like that. He's not naive. He's well traveled and intelligent.
@@someguy9301 no, Nhà Nhỉ simply means small hotel or Rest House Its name is Ngân Hà Meaning Milky Ways but they did not pay any attention to Ngân Hà Or Mi.W, it is just a name. and the old man was just there who happen to see this handsome young man is too irresistible to not try to hook up
I laughed so hard when they were getting you to drink the rice wine at that party! Such generous people allowing you to be apart of their ceremony. Music transcends language barriers. Alcohol breaks down the walls. Stay safe my friend. Id love to travel with you!
Except that one woman who slapped his hand away from the snack table that was offered to him, she even got on her phone to (what seemed to be) report him lol Vietnamese Karen! Haha 😅
@@liftedgifted6010Or the lady saying "that was poison" after he took a shot. Or the guy calling him a bitch.
@@EvilGrimNA can you understand what they were saying? What was the kid in the gray shirt saying that made him slap his head
@@EvilGrimNA That wasn't a literal translation. This guy was just having a joke, if you couldn't tell.
@@EvilGrimNA youre a little slow arent you
the subtitles on this video specifically killed me - Great work on the content! Always love watching your videos- they've been getting me through rough times and motivated me to book my own solo trip.
Someone please tell me if they’re fake or not 😂
@@victoriabergmann7454 yes i think they're fake 💀
Yes, it is fake.
What do they say?@@gunter2540
@@victoriabergmann7454 It looks fake but it is just a regular Rest House or small hotel named Ngân Hà meaning Milky ways
This was crazy to watch, i loved it, good job man!
I also recently discovered your channel and i hate the fact that you are so underrated. I love your videos because they are showing the reality and with your arrive in Japan we all saw that how much difference is between the different countries. Keep safe dude !! Love from Romania
21.35 USD
Well said 💯🙏🏼🌻✨
Respect pt donatie bro 🫶
damn he didnt even commnent just hearted. cold lol
@@emperorphil2547 yeah i see him reply to everyone who donates but no here for some reason
I love how absolutely down you are to just partake in whatever. The wedding was hilarious, this was great. Subbed.
I just discovered your channel and this is the most hilarious video. I love your brutal honesty, its so funny and also so refreshing compared to most other travel UA-camrs. The ending just reminded me so much of Michael Palin's around the world in 80 days. He arrives back in London to his final stop and he's not allowed inside and its a huge anti-climax and he wants to shout and tell everyone he's just travelled across the world but nobody cares and life goes on. I have subscribed and now I'm going to go back and watch your journey across the world!
Bro your one of the most underrated UA-camrs ,your videos are every educational,humble and hilarious!!
Doesn’t know the local language “I love you” to everyone 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you deserve millions of subscribers 🙌🏽
I almost cried seeing the look of defeat on Connor's face when he got to the airport. Sorry all that happened at once.
Im vietnamese, and I confirm a lot from these videos is a lie. Like the random fake subtitle during the first part of the video when he visit rural area like: kill white men or democracy stuff, all fake subtitle. 2nd: the hotel experience, the man doesnt have any bad intention, it's a bit confusing for westerners but in vietnam many hotel like this where strangers live i one room, i think it's the owner fault for bad explaining. And for the airport, not enough context but if it's our fault, im really sorry for his bad experience
@@tuaninhcong6954the fake subtitles on all his videos are meant to be jokes
I love how you can get along with all cultures by the way you talk with them, join in, and still keep a composure of being relaxed. Your Awesome!!
Man this guy is literally living the life that most of us can only dream of! I am in awe of this, its all just so raw. Feels like we are kinda with him throughout. But I have to say my favorite was in Burma, those guys you met were gold 🥇 Hats off dude, great content & thanks for the journey 👏🏻👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊 🇨🇦
It doesn't take that much, go ahead and try it
Bro you are a real one. One of the best travel channels on UA-cam, for real.
Before the pandemic, I went on a 3-weeks motorbike route from Saigon to Hanoi with my girlfriend, detoured over to Danang for a bit. We never got lucky enough to randomly crash a wedding, but I met some of the most welcoming and friendly people on this route. We had some random person paid for our lunch without us knowing when he left. We were so confused when we tried to pay and the owner wouldn't accept the money. Neither us nor the owner speak each other's language, but Google Translate came to the rescue. Incredibly kind people, and the scenery was beautiful.
Bro how is this channel not bigger, the Situations you get into 😂😂 I’m in tears 💀
I've lived in Vietnam for five years and I love the people here. So friendly and fun. Sometimes you run into slightly shady situations but nothing too crazy. Hope you enjoyed your time.
Interesting that you needed a visa just to transit through Korea. Unless you had a self transfer that should not be needed. Ive had several layovers there and never needed a visa.
What did the guy at 16:10 say?
@@bluntly8760 sorry my Vietnamese is not good enough to understand.
Your interpretations are hilarious. I'd have to say this documentation of your experience is very different from others (in a good way) - not editing anything out by glamorizing your experience but showing us viewers the reality of your travel, your experience with the countries, its people, and its culture. It's raw and it's real. What an amazing adventure and journey. I applaud you for handling and managing everything so well, especially in stressful situations. Im glad to have clicked on this video. Will have to watch and follow everything from the beginning now. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
A few tidbits -
9:15 He's HMong (Vietnamese) and asking you to take a picture with him. The ladies at the pho restaurant were also HMong, but I could only pick out certain words as theyre talking.
27:50 XOXO.
37:40 "Hooray, Wisconsin!" 😅🙌
39:42 Wow. He's absolutely right. 💯
So sorry that you ended your trip in Vietnam with such bad luck but having watched many of your videos, you have had so much good luck that it was bound to even out a bit. Thanks for sharing your trip!
Broke my heart seeing you defeated in the airport. I've been jumping around on some of your videos and hope you're well!
the maniacal laughing as he drives over the shitty road killed me lol
Vietnam people are always super kind folks. Dont know how they can be so happy all the time. 🎉
What I like about this channel is your personality. You give us your honest opinion regardless if it’s not polite. You keep it real and that’s good. I’m glad I found this channel.
Traveling is a bitch sometimes. Sorry for your airport problems, I hope this helps out a little bit. Much love and laughs from the Netherlands 😂❤
Thanks so much!!
Dude my favorite part is you just walked in to a wedding party but you are kinda late. Seriously, thank you for making me smile watching your videos. Be safe always.
I love the sounds of you giggling and laughing to yourself trying to drive on the terrible roads at the beginning - That whole thing made my heart smile 😊😅
Dude this videos speaks volumes. The ending was an incredible compilation of adventure clips. Well done for living life my man
Yooo whats up i love your videos
At this point I am awaiting for the next episode like it's a Netflix show! Amazing job as always buddy!
I have been fortunate to be able to travel to Vietnam twice and I have had a wonderful experience travelling and filming. Recently came across your channel and I am an instant fan of your videos. Binging! brb
thanks for being here my brother
New subscriber here. Your footage is so good bro. I feel like I'm on the journey with you. The hell train from India is what drew me in. Keep on traveling this beautiful planet. I'll be witnessing your journeys. Safe travels and great blessings to you
Just found the channel like a couple days ago and I subscribed today. He’s so down to earth, blunt, and really involves himself in the culture and isn’t afraid to go through sketchy but fun experiences. He reminds me of myself😂
My friend! I have come across your journey only in the past month and have been captivated. As someone who is a bit older and has often had deep regret about not having chosen a different direction in life when younger which might have taken me on this kind of path of adventure through our crazy and beautiful world, I thank you for the gift of being able to be able to experience it through your eyes, heart, and laughter. I have also shared your channel with some friends who feel similarly and they too have come to love it. At some point I recall a woman very assuredly saying that you are blessed. I wholeheartedly believe that she was and is very much correct. You unquestionably have a gift. Recognize it, don't let it go to your head, and you'll be good. Numbers will continue to go up, no doubt about it. It may be the end of this particular journey, but it could be just the beginning of so much more if you wish it to be. Straight up, all you gotta do is keep doin' it. Sending some love up to the sky for your Nan. PEACE and THANK YOU!
Kind words
Thank you so much 🙏🙏this means a lot
Dude I binged all your videos and was caught up! Glad to see this new one come out! Your adventures are awesome! Keep up the good work.
Same here... this dude is awesome
Same! Seriously I have watched probably over a dozen travel vloggers with millions of subs but I prefer to watch this over any of them something about this guy just seems so genuine I love him 😂
same here! :D thats literally my words
same
to 100%.. keep going conner!
I'm so sorry you had to go through that! 😢 I'm glad you made it to Japan though!
I'm amazed by the persona, the editing, and the branding of this channel. Your attitude is so open and interesting, taking every experience as it comes. Thank you for working to release this content, and so great your channel is blowing up, I'm sure it will only get bigger!
This has been awesome. Myanmar was my favorite. I've watched them more times than I should have and shared it as many. Thanks for the trip!❤
The Myanmar parts were amazing, I think they're my favorite too
20:07 the LED sign says “ nhà nghỉ ngân hà “ which is Galaxy Motel. So it was a resting spot (motel) but what i’m thinking was those two guys upstairs already got a room and i guess they wanted some action while they were there. It’s possible he told the desk that you were with him instead. i noticed he stood outside probably trying to bait others. glad you made a good decision and left!
I didn't know what I was getting into when I started this video but it was beautiful man. You went through some rough patches but it seemed like quite a conclusion to a fulfilling trip and I'm honestly amazed at how you pulled it off. I'm subscribing and I hope you have even more adventures ahead bro. Great job 👏
My wife and I did that loop with our 3 children. We did not go with a tour group. The most breathtaking scenery I have ever experienced!
The look on the girl's face at 20:10 was just priceless! 🤣
The part where you crashed the wedding and danced was amazing 😂😂This makes me want to finally visit Vietnam 🇻🇳🇻🇳
The Vietnamese people are so kind and beautiful. I love my people, was just there in July. So glad you got to witness there humble hearts. All love in Vietnam
Damn I just saw the brothel. Yea there’s a lot of prostitution and shit like that. I’m sorry you had to to go through thay
@@houstoncathey458 No, it is just a regular tiny hotel with women customers. The gay old man just happens to be outside and sees this attractive American who is looking for a one-hour stay and wants to get him into a threesome without knowing the impact of getting his face on UA-cam which is a valuable opportunity to become very interesting video that looks like a set-up.
my dude connor your channel is amazing and very inspirational,,it shows the reality of life no drama,how you go through all of these obstacles and keep going,,keep it up,hope you stay safe
Your "subtitles" had me rolling. But I have a feeling what they actually said might have been even funnier!
I was fortunate enough to find this amazing channel today & have binged it for the entire day, one of, if not the best travel vlog series ever. I have travelled solo for several months myself and it is not smooth sailing as the other SEO targeted travel vloggers will have you believe. this is the only channel which really shows just how amazingly weird, awkward & interesting it really is.
hats off to you mate, look forward to what you do in the future.
also that hotel situation was genuinely one of the scariest things I have seen on YT, fuck that guy.
I love how polite they are. I would definitely want to know more of the language while there, but they were all so cool
Thought it was beautiful how welcoming everyone was at the wedding, so excited to share their celebration and love!
honestly since i came across your Colombia playlist Colombia, i was amazed by how you manage through all of it despite the cartagena event which at least ended well unlike with me in 2015 living in Bucaramanga, left with 6 stab wounds... so i felt for you the second i saw that one happening and im sorry it happened to you. its an interesting journey seeing one by one all of your well acclaimed adventures! wish you happiness! stay safe
Man those subtitles are hilarious :D I feel like I am part of the adventure as I am watching it. Thanks man!
This is amazing 😂 just discovered your channel and Wowzers it’s great.
Man, I feel your pain at the end there. I don't know why but shit like that happens way too often with flying. Following the rules trying to do what you're supposed to, still end up looking like the bad guy/having to do soo much to get your flight or in your case, not get it at all.. It sucks and definitely needs improvement. Thank you for all the vids!!
You dancing at the wedding reminded me of some kind of video game cut scene lmao. Just, the entire vibe of it was surreal. I couldn’t stop laughing in utter confusion yet delight. Your reactions to it all were priceless yet so very understandable XD Fr though, I could never do this. The danger of going somewhere with little knowledge of the language and then to more rural parts…absolutely frightening (yet also intriguing). I’m so glad you survived it all 😭
This channel is about to blow up, I think its finally happening slowly but surely😄 well deserved when its that time
Thank you so much. I’m just enjoying the journey 🙏
Youre like the only youtuber that I genuinely watch and enjoy
