I’ll be honest, this isn’t the video I wanted to show you guys after an entire year. At the start of 2019, I pictured creating a video exactly like I envisioned in my head - something that would satisfy the crazy perfectionist within me, but it didn’t happen. This was a big wake up call, and left me in the final quarter of 2019 feeling lost, and unmotivated. I didn’t want to create anything, and was once again stuck with that all too familiar feeling of “this just isn’t it”. But, with all that being said, if there’s anything this year has taught me, it’s that everything won’t always go according to plan - and sometimes that’s exactly what needs to happen in order to grow. Sometimes we need those bumps in the road in order to spark inspiration and push us towards that goal we’re so desperately trying to achieve. Whether it’s making videos for a living, becoming a lawyer, designing a fashion line, or starting your own business - we all have that dream we’re chasing. And I’m pumped to say that even through all the ups and downs this year’s thrown my way, I feel like I’m one step closer to achieving mine. After looking back, I realized there were so many incredible moments from this last year that I want to share with you, even if it wasn’t the way I initially intended. So... Here’s why I spent the last year traveling the world. Hope you enjoy :)
Just wanted to let you know that this video is really inspiring and is so beautifully put together, after watching this I truly know what I want to do in life now, thank you so much :) I also hope you reach your goal
what's your gear list for this trip? its insane. I shoot with a GH5 which I love but it doesn't do so well in low light. I have a trip to the Dominican in 3 weeks and will be trying my best to get some amazing footage.
DeTrixx That’s what I’m saying man. It will happen. I don’t want to get stuck at a boring job for the rest of my life. Are you going to save up for it?
I'm planning to do a roadtrip in 2021 trough whole of europe, from norway to greece, Italy, Spaine, back trough france, then maybe UK (hopefully after corona)
@@sreejithprakash13s36 dude i didn't ask your opinion on what makes this video great. He showed up a dslr in one of his footage and that's what I asked that what model it was!
Hello Jacob, your video has been amazing, I’ve been only on work all my life and never really had any leisure till I saw this nine months ago, I think I heard that voice too and I got a ticket to Norway and stayed in a two person holiday home in Aheim. The experience was just out of this world, I called 6 of my friends and had them come to an 8 person vacation home in skei I Jolster. We spent over a two weeks here. Thank you so much for this. I’m looking forward to trying more than one country this time.
You’re so right, there’s a feeling you when you decide to drop all the waste in your brain, take a mental shit if you’d say, Vacations especially with loved and true friends is one beautiful way to do this. It’s always worth it
Norway would definitely steal your breath away, How about Japan mate? I can promise you it’s incredible especially for a vacation lover and newbie traveler. I’ve visited over 30 countries in the last 3 years.
I’d be honest after comparing my stay alone, I’ll pay again to have all my friends on the another vacation with me. I guess there are some things in life you can never understand till you try it and see you’re even a part of it. And yes I did paid for the 8 Person vacation home, lol no need for sign up…
It is super good! If you like this vid there’s this other YTer that was probably the first person to make these style vids.. his channel is called Kold... just thought you’d like his vids too
Don't think my eyes and ears have ever been more satisfied. The story, the shots all flowed so well together. I definitely felt inspired watching it. Thank you for sharing your story Jakob! Keep them coming.
Bro I doubt not all the videos are from his camera.... There's a way to use and monetize other peoples video if you register in certain websites for a subscription fee..... I would say though that majority seems his original work. Just the ones in Norway and Mongolia it seems he mix outsourced contents. There's a major difference.
Seriously Jakob, you are so talented dude. Loved that this had 0 transitions, just 100% clean quality clips and your story. It was seriously a pleasure to watch man, great job!
this! transitions are so overused and when done poorly it just makes awesome footage look cheap. not everyone is a sam kolder and thats ok if you ask me. everyone tries to copy that style and obv can't do it. youtube's standards are so high nowadays... keep your style and keep improving, loved the storytelling and stunning shots.:) ps: thanks for the aspect ratio, looks stunning in windowed and fullscreen :)
This is crazy Jakob. I took a gap year to pursue my ambition as well and I've honestly learned ten folds that I did when I was in university. If you ever visit Vietnam, I would be more than happy to support with anything you need. This video brought so much inspiration for me. Keep up the amazing world, I feel so lucky to have this video recommended to me
Travelling around the world is one of my BIGGEST DREAMS I have always wanted to achieve since I was a child. Even so, I am still a highschool teenager amidst studying my final year and continuing my pre-u in college. Similar to you, I've always felt rather pointless and useless in studying instead of pursuing my dreams of travelling. I always had this mentality where I do not have enough money in order to travel and all - but your video really inspired me to think otherwise. As of now, I feel travelling isn't really the best option as my parents discourage due to the much travel restrictions and my young age. However, I will not give up. I will continue to study, and hopefully one day earn enough money to travel across the world - especially Australia, and Europe. I watched your entire video and I also sincerely wish to one day watch the northern lights. It has been my dream for years now, and I really do hope it would be my reality one day. Thank you Jakob for such an inspirational sharing. You've just earned yourself a subscriber. Much respect and love from Malaysia! :)
you will acheive your dreams BUDDY! :) just never ever give up on yourself and your dreams and believe in yourself you are going to make it! ✨️ you are born to achieve your true potential Love and Success ❤️ Ansh
The Northern lights montage, oh my god, the best part. Isn't it crazy how music with certain images can bring up A LOT of emotions from scratch? WOW. Best video ever
he traveled the world last year because he knew corona was coming this year ... it is incredible, what you have done last year, this video was amazing!
@MAST3RCHIEF 98 Fuck you're lazy. Stop being lazy. Wake up. Quit drugs, burn the alcohol. Throw away the drugs Take a moment to sort ur life. And realize the alcohol and Drug you choose now won't do you any good, it will only make you worse and bad. Realize you're warrior. Be a warrior. Now get up and sort your shit out Stop the addiction *while you can*
The music, transitions, color grading, story telling, the places….. what an amazing experience! I’m just so confused sometimes cause I have the money and everything but don’t get the confidence to make a solo trip!
This is amazing... You makes me realized that I have to take action if there is something that I want to achieve. I'm just a college student in Japan who loves to travel and making videos. I'm thinking about my life every day recently. In Japan, almost college students need to get a job after graduate even if they don't want to. After that, you know..... They look like they living for the job. They wear the same suites, and they have the same hairstyle... I don't want to be a part of them. I want to change my life and run away from this normal boring life. I hope I can change my life as soon as possible. "Live a Life you will remember."
Japan was the country i Dream to see since i'm a child .. and i went last year during covid .. so i've been stuck for 6month ! But this time gave me a lot of thing ! And i Saw the fact that they live for working and it's complicated to do something different . In France or Spain it's a little bit the same after university you need to find a work . And i thought a long Time about that .. i don't want to spend my life just to work i want to Travel and not only a few weeks ... It's complicated for my friends to understand m'y choice
Boy, do it. Don’t turn 40 and ask yourself “what did I do with my life?” That’s my biggest fear. Defy the norm, with your means, with whatever you have, do it. If you travel, maybe you will regret it, maybe you’ll decide it’s not for you and go back home, but if you don’t do it, you will never know, and that thought will be with you always
When someone asks me what your comfort video on TH-cam I show them this. I watch this video when ever I'm feeling low and make myself remember that there's a lot to see and explore. Cheers man. Thank you so much for making this video!
I literally had tears in my eyes whilst watching every incredible shot you took. You’re crazily amazing, I envy you for being a such great great filmmaker. This is legit what I dream of, travelling the world, living this beautiful, loving every creation that i come across of this planet. I hope someday, I can step up to do what I envisioned in these past few years. You inspire to focus on my goals. ♥️ you’re incredible, much love to you.
I'm not sure if its true, but Jakob was flooded on Instagram. Supposedly these shots weren't all his. Most of the filming was pulled off stock footage websites.
@@NoName-vl5gr Even if he did use stock footage, he did go to all those places, which is the point of this video. And its done really well, he nailed it. PS, I did speak to him myself on IG
At first, your music taste is the greatest. All songs fit sooo well! Secondly, you have the best color grading skills of all the cinematic travel youtuber! Your footage is soo clean and your shots make me very emotional. My jaw dropped at least three times and I had to pause the video. You deserve much more subscribers. I really don't know how you are able to improve your video skills, because I think that you are already at the highest skill level. Really! Just don't be too hard on yourself. I am really looking forward to your future videos!
Amazing! I’m leaving my job January of 2026 (under contract until then) and I’m traveling the world for about 18 months.. I’ve already saved the money, now I’m just waiting the time out. So great to see you chasing your dreams. Wish you the fullest of lives ❤
Dude I’m so glad that the TH-cam algorithm recommended this video to me. The start of the video really struck home for me, I was able to understand your feeling about always thinking about making videos instead of focusing in class🤣 Anyways epic video bro!
I didn't realize I was crying at the end of the video. This is truly a beautiful place we live in and I thank you for sharing your story with us who wish to see the world!
I’m being so serious when I say this is my favorite video on TH-cam. It gave me so much inspiration to start making my own videos and gave me so much passion in videography
i just cried, laughed, felt 537 different emotions & got goosebumps all over my body several times - all within 10 minutes. this video is phenomenal!!! thanks a million for sharing this and taking my heart and soul on a virtual trip.
I must have watched this video 100 times in the past two days-I just can't get enough of it. It's simply fantastic. The effort put into it is incredible, and the result is magnificent. If there were awards for short videos like this, it would definitely be a blockbuster.
I've watched this video about a thousand times. It keeps motivating me to find a way to get out Venezuela and start traveling the world. This video is just PERFECT. Guys, believe that you can do anything, hope everyone here finds a chance to travel around the world.
i’m doing this right now. dropped everything to soul search and find the person I want to be. I will tell my story when it’s all said and done. it’s been 5 months and I’ve been all over europe. Blessed to have shared so many amazing stories, met amazing people and incredible architecture and landscapes. But the biggest point of all, I learned how to be ok with myself, to deal with every insecurity and trouble that’s ever bothered me, and to find beauty in the unknowns of life. I’ve lived a lifetime in 5 months. I’m 28 years old. I’ve learned more than I ever could in my bubble back home. I had to try something new. The path may change in your life and hurt is going to come. It’s unavoidable. How we respond, react, and take the next steps after is how we learn to improve and grow. Get out of the comfort zone. Change is scary but necessary. Take a leap of faith. You never know what you’re truly capable of if you never try. We’re all just trying to figure it out at the end of the day. Good luck everyone.
Even if this video doesn't get the success you wanted, keep creating. Many people like to compare you with somebody, but I don't think we can compare you with anyone. This is a masterpiece of it's own kind. Greetings from Germany
I have been to more than 22 countries in last 10 years and when I look back all those moments I always have tear in my eyes. Truly inspiring seeing your videos.
i saw this video back in 2020 and now i came back here after 3 yr and dude this guys video skill are one of the best i have ever seen .. waiting for your comeback !!!
MAN! That northern lights clip gave me goosbumps and got me emotional for some reason! You chose the perfect music for each section of clips and your story telling ability is amazing! Great video, you should be proud of this! I also struggle with motivation and inspiration for making content, which is ironic since my channel is about motivation but I feel I can empathize with how you feel/felt. You should be proud of this video man, you told a story, it evoked emotion and you showed how beautiful the world is. Well done.
Wow, my mind is totally blown away...there’s so much nakedness expressed so beautifully in your creative direction...I’ve always dreamed of relaying my message as you’ve illustrated in a meaningful and thought provoking manner! I loved it, this is the real cinematography to the core...Clear, well cut and fresh !Well done!🦋
I’ve been waiting 3 years for you to post a new video. You’ve inspired me in ways you wouldn’t imagine. I always come back to this video to remind me what hard work in videos can turn to.
you're an incredible film maker! i've been living abroad since the day i turned 19; 8 years later I'm still living abroad (currently Tromso) but I never actually took pictures or taken films of my trips because back in the old days, youtube wasn't a thing and there was no semi pro camera available for regular people. Nobody was vlogging so I never did; also never wanted to show off and make people envious. Of course with youtube, everything has changed...You're lucky to start young and big with the right equipment and platform!
This video made me cry and I don't know why. I've been having a hard time lately and upon watching this video, it calms me. I'll pray for your chanel's success. Love from Philippines❤
he actually lived my future and my Dreams, damn i beat up tho, but he said that; it’s that everything won’t always go according to plan - and sometimes that’s exactly what needs to happen in order to grow. Sometimes we need those bumps in the road in order to spark inspiration and push us towards that goal we’re so desperately trying to achieve.
You better not end up being an insurance salesman in five years, lol. You have a very good eye for composition and are very good at editing. I hope you continue this amazing hobby/passion/skillset and career you seem to be heading in. You music selection was stellar too.
O My God.A 20 year old can make such a masterpiece bro it's a film is a whole film.I am 18 and I'm now thinking you as a pro. I have no words but just raw appreciation.Well done.May God Bless you
I am glad YT pushed this to me - duh, since I watch a lot of cinematic travel videos. The thing about this edit being so beautiful is beyond just the visuals. It's fundamentally knowing what it takes to evoke feelings from people - from getting the right cut of footage to editing to the score. I wish I know you IRL because good lord we'd have so much to talk about regarding filming and editing a good travel video. (I can relate to not feeling it when reviewing the available footage.) Nonetheless, pretty damn amazing work!
This is the coolest yt vid i've ever seen.....WOW! Litteral goosebumps throughout the whole video, this is something to be proud of for the rest of your life. The shots, the colors, the music just everything is perfect
Because of this video, i dicided to take a gapyear during the pandemic and taking a big risk. I’ve been to Barcelona and Costa Rica and just got back after 9 months of traveling and learning spanish and i’ve got to say, best decision of my life, hands down. Thank you for the inspiration!
This is one of if not the most beautiful vidoe i have ever watched from beginning to end... some tears where flowing from the sheer beauty of this video. Really great work!
I had also years like that. Pity, I wasn’t focusing on documenting bit rather experiencing. In 2014 I visited more than 30 countries and I eventually set foot on the seventh continent. I had been traveling to Antarctica before but that time was astonishing. I live a family life with my husband - more settled and peaceful-but I have to tell you, we still make plans for traveling... Thank you for the wonderful video and wish you all the best.
@@garrett9248 I wish I had. Places I went to are unimaginable -Antarctica and the Amazon were the last one. I feel so proud for being among the few who’s been there, even on a cruise ship
This video is EVERYTHING! Everytime I need to be inspired, I'll come back here. The photography of this video is just breathtaking and this hole experience makes me want to get out of my daily routine and actually do something! Your work is just amazing, keep going!
Same here.. his videos not only inspires me but it push me through my rough phase that only 2 year left and i will be graduate and free to travel anywhere.. *my dream*
This is one of the best videos- its incredible, great story telling, great editing, well done you. Most importantly, when you look back at this in 20-30-40 years, you will realise what you captured, which many just wish they could. Well done and so pleased you did it and shared with us. Wish you all the best.
This video is one of the greatest that I've ever seen! The story behind, drone shots, the colour grading...absolutely blown my mind! Big bonus..you are Greek! Keep it up Jakob!
wow such an amazing video. I love traveling and it has been one of my passions for years. currently I am a college student traveling during breaks and weekends, but i cannot wait to get back out there!
Why did I cry when you saw the northern lights? LOLOL, I see them almost everyday if the weather is okay since I live in Tromsø and I'm actually from Senja. Loved the video!
omg you're so fortunate haha! I got to know someone who is also from Tromsø when I was on a trip in Cambodia. She shares the same sentiments abt it being normal though it is still very pretty to them. (:
THE editing in this video was more than a million dollars flim. I am thinking to start my own youtube channel and my mother said she believe me. But i am feeling a lack of motivation and always think can i do it or not . But now this video taught me one with one line he said [ if you don't do this you may never]. so now I am going for it and i will do my best.
nexo I don’t think Its the A7iii because the color grading is pretty heavy and the sony A7iii is only 8bit. He is probably using the blackmagic pocket or something
I’ll be honest, this isn’t the video I wanted to show you guys after an entire year. At the start of 2019, I pictured creating a video exactly like I envisioned in my head - something that would satisfy the crazy perfectionist within me, but it didn’t happen.

After looking back, I realized there were so many incredible moments from this last year that I want to share with you, even if it wasn’t the way I initially intended. So...

Dude the level of editing, story telling, cinematography, ....I'm speechlesssss 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is amazing... You makes me realized that I have to take action if there is something that I want to achieve.
I'm just a college student in Japan who loves to travel and making videos. I'm thinking about my life every day recently. In Japan, almost college students need to get a job after graduate even if they don't want to. After that, you know..... They look like they living for the job. They wear the same suites, and they have the same hairstyle... I don't want to be a part of them. I want to change my life and run away from this normal boring life. I hope I can change my life as soon as possible.
"Live a Life you will remember."
Couldnt agree more
Japan was the country i Dream to see since i'm a child .. and i went last year during covid .. so i've been stuck for 6month ! But this time gave me a lot of thing ! And i Saw the fact that they live for working and it's complicated to do something different . In France or Spain it's a little bit the same after university you need to find a work . And i thought a long Time about that .. i don't want to spend my life just to work i want to Travel and not only a few weeks ... It's complicated for my friends to understand m'y choice
Can you see srilanka
That sounds so cheesy bro
Boy, do it. Don’t turn 40 and ask yourself “what did I do with my life?” That’s my biggest fear. Defy the norm, with your means, with whatever you have, do it. If you travel, maybe you will regret it, maybe you’ll decide it’s not for you and go back home, but if you don’t do it, you will never know, and that thought will be with you always
THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IN THIS IS EVERYTHING 🤩

SAME!
When someone asks me what your comfort video on TH-cam I show them this. I watch this video when ever I'm feeling low and make myself remember that there's a lot to see and explore. Cheers man. Thank you so much for making this video!
I literally had tears in my eyes whilst watching every incredible shot you took. You’re crazily amazing, I envy you for being a such great great filmmaker. This is legit what I dream of, travelling the world, living this beautiful, loving every creation that i come across of this planet. I hope someday, I can step up to do what I envisioned in these past few years. You inspire to focus on my goals. ♥️ you’re incredible, much love to you.
I'm not sure if its true, but Jakob was flooded on Instagram. Supposedly these shots weren't all his. Most of the filming was pulled off stock footage websites.
@@Nxrth2001 bro don't even. Those are all his shots. No on needs to say this coz it's obvious.
@@NoName-vl5gr Hey man, I dont mean any offense. Its all over his IG.....
Even I'm a high schooler, and this vid brought me inspiration.
@@NoName-vl5gr Even if he did use stock footage, he did go to all those places, which is the point of this video. And its done really well, he nailed it. PS, I did speak to him myself on IG
Oh je 🤣🤣🤣🤣
At first, your music taste is the greatest. All songs fit sooo well!
Secondly, you have the best color grading skills of all the cinematic travel youtuber! Your footage is soo clean and your shots make me very emotional. My jaw dropped at least three times and I had to pause the video. You deserve much more subscribers. I really don't know how you are able to improve your video skills, because I think that you are already at the highest skill level. Really! Just don't be too hard on yourself. I am really looking forward to your future videos!
This literally felt like a movie... crazy. Great job man
Totally agree with you.
Amazing! I’m leaving my job January of 2026 (under contract until then) and I’m traveling the world for about 18 months.. I’ve already saved the money, now I’m just waiting the time out. So great to see you chasing your dreams. Wish you the fullest of lives ❤
Dude I’m so glad that the TH-cam algorithm recommended this video to me. The start of the video really struck home for me, I was able to understand your feeling about always thinking about making videos instead of focusing in class🤣 Anyways epic video bro!
This sent chills all through me. Absolutely incredible
I didn't realize I was crying at the end of the video. This is truly a beautiful place we live in and I thank you for sharing your story with us who wish to see the world!
I’m being so serious when I say this is my favorite video on TH-cam. It gave me so much inspiration to start making my own videos and gave me so much passion in videography
TRUE
me to bro
i just cried, laughed, felt 537 different emotions & got goosebumps all over my body several times - all within 10 minutes.
this video is phenomenal!!!
thanks a million for sharing this and taking my heart and soul on a virtual trip.
shut the f##k up hypocrite
@@AnoopSingh-jj4hp you shut up, wolveshit
My bank account just cried in six different languages
Lol
Lmao🤣
Only six my bank account cried in all languages
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I must have watched this video 100 times in the past two days-I just can't get enough of it. It's simply fantastic. The effort put into it is incredible, and the result is magnificent. If there were awards for short videos like this, it would definitely be a blockbuster.
i literally just cried. This deserves a million likes
Only a million?
Here before this goes viral. Absolutely brilliant man, next Sam Kolder for sure
sam kolder isnt dead yet
Ashley Chamberlain also the grading is solid
I've watched this video about a thousand times. It keeps motivating me to find a way to get out Venezuela and start traveling the world. This video is just PERFECT. Guys, believe that you can do anything, hope everyone here finds a chance to travel around the world.
ill get there
i’m doing this right now. dropped everything to soul search and find the person I want to be. I will tell my story when it’s all said and done. it’s been 5 months and I’ve been all over europe. Blessed to have shared so many amazing stories, met amazing people and incredible architecture and landscapes. But the biggest point of all, I learned how to be ok with myself, to deal with every insecurity and trouble that’s ever bothered me, and to find beauty in the unknowns of life. I’ve lived a lifetime in 5 months. I’m 28 years old. I’ve learned more than I ever could in my bubble back home. I had to try something new. The path may change in your life and hurt is going to come. It’s unavoidable. How we respond, react, and take the next steps after is how we learn to improve and grow. Get out of the comfort zone. Change is scary but necessary. Take a leap of faith. You never know what you’re truly capable of if you never try. We’re all just trying to figure it out at the end of the day. Good luck everyone.
Even if this video doesn't get the success you wanted, keep creating. Many people like to compare you with somebody, but I don't think we can compare you with anyone. This is a masterpiece of it's own kind.
Greetings from Germany
Das ist echt wahr was du da sagst!
thank you :)
The dream I dreamt of since I was a kid, and I will promise I will achieve it one day.
Yes you will and i will too
@@ambitioushuman7100 I love your energy thank you🥺
Yes 😍we wiiiiiiiiilllllllllll😍
This no joke brought me to tears. Absolutely incredible! The cinematography and is spectacular!
I have been to more than 22 countries in last 10 years and when I look back all those moments I always have tear in my eyes. Truly inspiring seeing your videos.
Plot twist: He travelled the world cause he’s from the future and he knew that covid would happen

love from Nairobi, Kenya
i saw this video back in 2020 and now i came back here after 3 yr and dude this guys video skill are one of the best i have ever seen .. waiting for your comeback !!!
MAN! That northern lights clip gave me goosbumps and got me emotional for some reason! You chose the perfect music for each section of clips and your story telling ability is amazing! Great video, you should be proud of this! I also struggle with motivation and inspiration for making content, which is ironic since my channel is about motivation but I feel I can empathize with how you feel/felt. You should be proud of this video man, you told a story, it evoked emotion and you showed how beautiful the world is. Well done.
Wow, my mind is totally blown away...there’s so much nakedness expressed so beautifully in your creative direction...I’ve always dreamed of relaying my message as you’ve illustrated in a meaningful and thought provoking manner! I loved it, this is the real cinematography to the core...Clear, well cut and fresh !Well done!🦋
I’ve been waiting 3 years for you to post a new video. You’ve inspired me in ways you wouldn’t imagine. I always come back to this video to remind me what hard work in videos can turn to.
you're an incredible film maker! i've been living abroad since the day i turned 19; 8 years later I'm still living abroad (currently Tromso) but I never actually took pictures or taken films of my trips because back in the old days, youtube wasn't a thing and there was no semi pro camera available for regular people. Nobody was vlogging so I never did; also never wanted to show off and make people envious. Of course with youtube, everything has changed...You're lucky to start young and big with the right equipment and platform!
This video made me cry and I don't know why. I've been having a hard time lately and upon watching this video, it calms me. I'll pray for your chanel's success.
Love from Philippines❤
he actually lived my future and my Dreams, damn i beat up tho, but he said that; it’s that everything won’t always go according to plan - and sometimes that’s exactly what needs to happen in order to grow. Sometimes we need those bumps in the road in order to spark inspiration and push us towards that goal we’re so desperately trying to achieve.
You better not end up being an insurance salesman in five years, lol. You have a very good eye for composition and are very good at editing. I hope you continue this amazing hobby/passion/skillset and career you seem to be heading in. You music selection was stellar too.
You just gave me a reason to explore. What a beautiful world we live in!
"This guy is on another level in his work." Honestly, you are a Dream chaser Man🖤
Dude, you're living the life I always wanted to experience and this makes me so happy
This one is inspiring to me, the moments; Meeting the eagle hunter and the amazing Nothern lights .....give me goosebumps. Superb!
O My God.A 20 year old can make such a masterpiece bro it's a film is a whole film.I am 18 and I'm now thinking you as a pro. I have no words but just raw appreciation.Well done.May God Bless you
LMAO "I had some time to spare so I visited London, Paris and Portugal" WHAHAHAH
they are literally right next to each other (portugal and paris), not london hhahahahaha
@@rserrasouza portugal and paris next to each other? LOL what are u talking bout man
Meanwhile me « I had some time to spare so I visited the nearest park and Walmart »
I am glad YT pushed this to me - duh, since I watch a lot of cinematic travel videos. The thing about this edit being so beautiful is beyond just the visuals. It's fundamentally knowing what it takes to evoke feelings from people - from getting the right cut of footage to editing to the score. I wish I know you IRL because good lord we'd have so much to talk about regarding filming and editing a good travel video. (I can relate to not feeling it when reviewing the available footage.) Nonetheless, pretty damn amazing work!
This is the coolest yt vid i've ever seen.....WOW! Litteral goosebumps throughout the whole video, this is something to be proud of for the rest of your life. The shots, the colors, the music just everything is perfect
As a person who has never been on a plane before, this video was overwhelming and wholesome. Thank you
The cinematography is amazing in this video! No crazy edits, just really nice visuals. What camera did you use?
Because of this video, i dicided to take a gapyear during the pandemic and taking a big risk. I’ve been to Barcelona and Costa Rica and just got back after 9 months of traveling and learning spanish and i’ve got to say, best decision of my life, hands down. Thank you for the inspiration!
This is one of those Videos you watch every half a year and still get the same feeling like watching it for the first time
Pure Chills
THIS is literally what I want to do with my life! Thank you for sharing this.
Me too man I want to enjoy my life and live it to the fullest
he’s good looking, shoots and edits his own videos, and his main goal was to travel the world, where can I sign up for one lmao
What do you mean
Ikr he fiiinnee 😂
/2
good looking? xD i would say hes 10/10
@HanselManCan To dream is nothing special.But how many actually achieve that ?
This is unbelievable the shots, the color grading and just the flow through all the magnificent places, you really nailed it
This is one of if not the most beautiful vidoe i have ever watched from beginning to end... some tears where flowing from the sheer beauty of this video. Really great work!
You lived two of my dreams, do a trip like this and record it. This motivated me so much! Thank you
same
I had also years like that. Pity, I wasn’t focusing on documenting bit rather experiencing. In 2014 I visited more than 30 countries and I eventually set foot on the seventh continent. I had been traveling to Antarctica before but that time was astonishing.
I live a family life with my husband - more settled and peaceful-but I have to tell you, we still make plans for traveling...
Thank you for the wonderful video and wish you all the best.
Do you wish you documented it?
@@garrett9248 I wish I had. Places I went to are unimaginable -Antarctica and the Amazon were the last one. I feel so proud for being among the few who’s been there, even on a cruise ship
This video is EVERYTHING! Everytime I need to be inspired, I'll come back here. The photography of this video is just breathtaking and this hole experience makes me want to get out of my daily routine and actually do something! Your work is just amazing, keep going!
Same here.. his videos not only inspires me but it push me through my rough phase that only 2 year left and i will be graduate and free to travel anywhere.. *my dream*
Wow! This is incredible. The story the shots the colour grading gives this video so much more prespective! Amazing!!!
This video is incredible!! It’s perfect. Congrats!!!
This is a true Masterpiece of film-making! Shots, music, timing - all Perfect!
I was waiting for the “shot on an iPhone 11”
This is one of the best videos- its incredible, great story telling, great editing, well done you. Most importantly, when you look back at this in 20-30-40 years, you will realise what you captured, which many just wish they could. Well done and so pleased you did it and shared with us. Wish you all the best.
This video is one of the greatest that I've ever seen! The story behind, drone shots, the colour grading...absolutely blown my mind! Big bonus..you are Greek! Keep it up Jakob!
This is so breathtaking, you had me crying by the end. I’m truly speechless.
Bro I don’t know you but you inspired me a lot today. Everything is dope 😱😱😱
wow such an amazing video. I love traveling and it has been one of my passions for years. currently I am a college student traveling during breaks and weekends, but i cannot wait to get back out there!
Had to save this video and share it with all my friends. I've got to stop finding excuses everywhere and just go see the world once for all
The last 40 seconds of this video gives me chills every time
Why did I cry when you saw the northern lights? LOLOL, I see them almost everyday if the weather is okay since I live in Tromsø and I'm actually from Senja. Loved the video!
omg you're so fortunate haha! I got to know someone who is also from Tromsø when I was on a trip in Cambodia. She shares the same sentiments abt it being normal though it is still very pretty to them. (:
THE editing in this video was more than a million dollars flim. I am thinking to start my own youtube channel and my mother said she believe me. But i am feeling a lack of motivation and always think can i do it or not . But now this video taught me one with one line he said [ if you don't do this you may never]. so now I am going for it and i will do my best.
Dude this video is amazing : The color grading, the quality, the sound effects, the music.
Which camera do you use? which frame rates do you use?
24fps for sure
I maybe Sony A7|||
nexo I don’t think Its the A7iii because the color grading is pretty heavy and the sony A7iii is only 8bit.
He is probably using the blackmagic pocket or something
yeah I want to know the answer to this as well
Venom my guess is because of his most viewed video
This is cool! Keep it up. Watching you from Bangladesh.
Me too brother
