We can't hear you !
The silly music is louder than your voice. ...🙄
@@edwardfletcher7790 oops, sorry bout that
Got to say mate, your videos for me are the best on the internet. You dont have yourself as the front piece. The beaches the people the cafes etc, make the videos. They are so well filmed and describe everything so well. Keep it up mate
Agree. No looking at the host eating, talking, looking. Just the country.
Absolutely beautiful. I love that your videos are for the regular folks that don’t have unlimited budgets and yet you always find these gems that are accessible to us all. Great content man.
If I got off the ferry to that beach ... I'd give my return ticket to someone else and you'd have to drag me away! Definitely the best chilled paradise vibes.
And that my friends is why we love these videos! Those locals made me smile like no other video has for a long time. The dancing Auntie and her staff.....pure Magic!!!!
These vids just remind me of how the west has lost its way when it comes to finding happiness in the simple life. Need need to chase any bling in your life with true bliss all around you.
Really nice seeing all the kiddos playing and running about, not glued to phone screen like here in jakarta.
My reaction to that beach would be, I am not leaving! Bagus Mentawai here I come! Excellent work Sir!
Wowww- your drone shots are breathtaking! My husband and I have never been to Indonesia before and thanks for helping us put this place on the bucket list 🙏🏼 Totally beautiful and the beaches are so pristine ❤ Love this video:)
Love the look of happiness on their faces.Peaceful and they get along so nicely. Wish people in the US could get along like this. Another great video.
Yes, absolutely wonderful people! (who haven't become jaded by us, yet). With the new airport opening hope Mentawai finds a way to balance increased visitors and still retain its idyllic charm and innocence.
Love seeing such happy people. Small island living away from the hustle is the place to be. Hopefully, those islands do not get overdeveloped.
Gotta tell ya, this place and lifestyle are VERY attractive to me. I hope it never changes there. So truly lovely.❤
Another great journey, luv the way you treat others, always with kindness and respect. Looks awesome.
Another fantastic journey! Thank you STL for showing us around another island I was unaware of….I guess they don’t call that region 7,000 islands for nothing. Can’t wait to experience it all too🥰
Thanks! 17,000 islands actually but with 6000 inhabited. We have some work ahead seeing it all :)
@@SideTripLife OML, I guess I was way off….can’t believe there’s literally 1,000’s that people either don’t live on or even own, just mind blowing. Yes definitely a lot of work but fun and exciting work to say the least🏝️
The first thing I would say, arriving there, and seeing those beaches would be how long is my visa good for??? Because I’m staying maximum days!!!
What an absolute beautiful place thank you for sharing this video!!!
I’m not a surfer, but I definitely enjoy that place!!!
Always enjoy my fellow Canuck’s videos. I am a New Brunswick transplant to Massachusetts USA that fantasies move to Thailand. So keep feeding my dreams. Love your work. God bless you.
NB then MASS and TH ahead also :)
If I got off the ferry and that was my first beach then I would think one of two possibilities. Either I have found my new home or I have died and so this is what heaven looks like. 🙂
Your videos both lower my blood pressure and entertain at the same time. Keep up the great content, and keep on exploring!
They look to be the friendliest islands in the world. Hard not to stop and buy stuff from every shop/bar you stop at.
Every time I watch another of your videos, I keep wanting to change up my plans and just go straight to SE Asia! What an amazing place!
Thanks as always for the great information, the sights and all the wonderful interactions with the locals!
All the best from Canada!
Incredible video to start the new year. Giving me all the more reason to try and work remote again. Love your work, hope you stay motivated for a long time! Truly believe your channel competes with vloggers 5X your size.
It’s like heaven! I want to go and stay.
Awesome STL, great place. 35 minutes way too short for me. Thank you for your great channel sir 👍
I def watched till the end STL wish it was longer !!!😂
My kind of places , heaven on earth .
Thanks! & yes!
the answer to solving world wide war is sitting at that table brilliant (many religions
amazing how well people get on without religious zealots or politico's stirring up the masses for the sake of power
Man, that looks like the place for me. Beautiful
Beautiful island, perfect for a chill holiday.
Who WOULDN"T watch to the end??? One thing I noticed is the lack of garbage on the beaches, unlike so many places in Central America.
Great video I always watch to the end, would not miss any of it. great place 👍😎
My Reaction would be so happy & never would leave. Beautiful.
Well done. Been hanging for part 3. Sure looks beautiful. Thanks for all the info👍
Safe travels🙏
Thanks kindly
Thanks! Paradise , kind hearts and souls of many kinds offering welcoming joy !! Awesome people and beaches what could be better .... Thank you again STL ... Enjoy .
Thanks Karl:) The people & the place simply magic
I’m glad to see a longer video!!! You always cover so much and I love it! You are living the dream. I caught a beautiful sunset in Costa Maya this week. Reminded me of how lucky we are to be able to travel and see such amazing places and meet awesome people. Thx for another great vid STL!
Holy freaking WOW !
The people and the island looks like a place to retire. Keep up the great videos. EH !
After the coldest winter ever , near Vancouver BC , it's time for another time out 😁
This was a great Video man! 😁
Good stuff as always. Thanks
Always watch your vids all the way through. It brings me to a better place. 😂

Excellent vlog I really enjoy you video's they are always interesting,. Keep them coming mate!
Just booked a 30 day stay at one of the homestays! Thanks for another great video.
THIRTY days? That would suit me fine but hopefully you won't get island fever (if so just head to Brad's;)
Loved this video! what an absolutely beautiful place, and the smiling people,❤️
you are living my dream life, thanks for the amazing videos 😎
Always watch to the end 😉 Mentawai looks a great place to take a long break ❤
Excellent video! You're adventures just get more intriguing.
Rush Hour 😆🤣😂

Great video, man!! Such a waem welcome from the folks. You make me feel like I am there. Nothing like this in Canada. Freezing there right now, Thanks!!
oh gosh Im looking soooo forward to my retirement :)
🤪
Everywhere you go they all seem so nice..!
I always watch to the end of your amazing videos and absolutely love the fact you are my travel idea guide. You are the reason I went to Koh Samui and the reason I am researching your other amazing locations. Thank you!!!
Yes…!! Love the long ones also..!!
love it, Toronto
Your channel is so underrated. Good content, nice info. I had been to a few places because of your channel. Thanks.. blessings for you
Another outstanding video STL! I’m always ready and willing to invest time on one of your posts and this one lives up to the others. 35 minutes is a great length and I’d really like to see one long, 60 minutes, post every few weeks. Mentawai looks unbelievable.
Now, let’s keep it just been we 80+k subscribers.👍🏻🤙🏻✌🏻
Good stuff mate
Of course I watched to the end!
I see some cinematic moves this time 😍 Following you from the beginning and you keep improving Mr🫶🏻
Wow , beautiful and very peaceful.
Amazing....I have to get over there. Incredible.
Realliy is, get there!
Always watch to the end 😉 don't worry about that mate 😁
Awesome place and video🙏look forward to seeing for myself.
stayed to the end, another great vid.
In Indonesia Telkomsel is the biggest providers they have some variety of data package the biggest is ABOUT 200 gb (national coverage) with active for 30 days and the price is 450 K rupiah (30 dollars) but Telkomsel also have local area package with cheaper prices..
I love the the videos!!! One day soon I hope to follow your trail keep it going. Thank you so much!!!
Cheers Wayne and happy travels!
Indonesia has def spoiled you and was well deserved! I imagine the struggle was real to leave such lovely people and undisturbed spaces. Thankfully, you went back to another beauty. I just traveled from one -10 degrees below zero state to an -18 degree below zero state for "vacation" - brrrr. Your videos always have me hankering to "do beach" and I will continue to travel vicariously through them until I can do the same IRL. Fantastic series STL - you are the most engaging TH-camr evah'!
Such a nice comment, thank you and warm wishes - your upcoming trip to SE Asia will warm you up for sure! STL
Love it watched it all
Thank you!
Enjoyable 35 mins as always .
Happily ‘endured’ right til the end ❤
Great place just to chill, relax and be casual.
Love ya content mate
It really resonates with me
Good to see Brad making the best of his life too in that paradise and sounds and looks like a real Aussie from another Aussie from another Mother 🤣
LOVE IT! We are building our Beach Hotel in the Philippines! Coming soon! Love the island life!❤️🏝️
Incredible place🎉
You're 100% in love whith that place, you'll still be there in 200 years 😜🤣🤣🤣
Great island ...jealous 😅
The people are so friendly there. Always watch to the end of your vids.. always a great watch.. and look forward to your next adventures.
Brilliant video Brilliant presentation.

Glad you enjoyed! STL

Please do more trips in Thailand, miss you mak mak
Hour long return vid coming...
Sensational. My dream location
what a top spot. Nice seeing the Aussies doing their thing there.
Aussies like Canucks are usually pretty affable but this lot was some of the nicest & easiest going I've encountered.
home sweet home
loving soooo much yr vids, unsubscribed from all others talking and showing SE ASIA, only yours , the best !!!
I have to make a visit there.
Another smorgasborg of greatness
I need to get myself on that island for some proper paradise relaxation.Koh Lipe has nothing compared to this
Hi STL! I’ve been bouncing around Bangkok for a couple of weeks now. I just wanted to say thank you for the helpful tips you’ve passed along, and am looking forward to checking out some of your mainland and island beach discoveries, in the coming months. 🙏🏝️😀
Cheers Danny! STL
0:43 - The King of TH-cam ❤
Always watch every second STL...... You are living in Paradise and I want to be there.... As I can`t afford to be there then watching you is the best I can do.... Great video as ever.... :-))
Thanks for coming along! STL
@@SideTripLife You are most Welcome :-))
Brad is a typical Aussie foodie sees a need for something and does it. Great looking foods there everywhere and fair prices. Awesome beaches and water just idyllic for holidays. Thanks for covering these places for us. Bushybky Oz
Great guy and humble af despite amazing achievements. Look in prev vid where he talks about being there during covid, unable to return to Oz thus puts brain & brawn to work and creates this, simply amazing.
Become so involved in your videos that they end too damn quickly. If I was 20+ years younger I would not have a problem leaving my home in Bawley Point NSW Australia for Brads place in Mentawai - would be living my best life there 😊😊
Since today our high temperature will be a balmy 14 degrees, I think I'm headed out to hook up with you.. lol
Safe travels
Watched all of it... Would have watched another 35...🙂
Wow… I would start a business there…
I endured, willingly!
You have a great show. Love watching it. Do you have a brother named Ross? You sound just like him.
Thanks. You mean like Ross from Friends? (lol;) Nope, not I.
We love your well measured content. Unaufgeregt, we call it in German.
Danke :)
Brilliant episode mate. Did you get prices for renting? Be a great place to escape for a few months
I didn't but if you ask the locals or local Expats they'd likely know some longer stay options. STL
