The moment were you met Casey it was similar to the moment where my mother and I found you at a store in London on January 2019 (we travelled from South America) and we asked you for a picture and you recorded a greeting. That was a happy moment Toba.
Just finish watching all the episodes on living in NY for 5 days with just $1 and its amazing how you did so many things and went to so many beautiful and cool places.
Watched the series. As a life long NYer (49), I pretty much grew tired of the city (especially since Covid). Seeing it through your eyes, was amazing!!! Most days I grip about how I have to be in the office two days now. As the weather warms I'm going to start doing things again. Inspirational!!! ❤❤❤
I’ve been watching you for YEARS, you changed my view of what it means to have no money and enjoy life. Im so happy you came to America and especially my home state :) I hope you have a good time!
I was so happy for you meeting Casey, I had a massive smile on my face! Awesome last episode, really enjoyed the series! You must have been so tired by the end! All those broken nights of poor quality sleep.
The motivation I need as I prepare for my move there. I’m so excited. I literally packed my bags to every video. And it kept me going, No doubt, wasn’t in my head too much, kept praying as I’m watching .I’m so happy to have come across this. Thank you❤
This is brilliant, Toba! And you actually managed to see Casey! Amazing. I really admire your courage - I would be terrified to vlog in public especially in a different country. Very inspirational. Hope you have had a lovely Christmas 🎄
I looked forward to every episode of this trip and it was great to see your resourcefulness! I expected much harder days for you 😂Loved the girl who gave you the burger. That’s the real NY love and hospitality we locals extend
Being born and raised in New York City there’s nothing like it.. and for the most part if you ask for help most people will cause we are all one. Blessings 🤎✊🏾🙏🏽
Enjoyed the videos! What I didn't understand is how you could just leave your bag at hotels and hostels. Seems that could pose a security problem. You weren't a guest and you could have a bomb in the bag. I'm shocked that they let you do this. Also, how could you hang out in the hostels without being a guest? This is NYC. Another security breach. It was great that a lot of NYers were very kind to you. The reputation is that they are rude, but like you, on my visits to NY, I had great conversations on the street with NYers. Looking forward to LA series. Be careful!
I respect all which you are doing! Even though people may say that it is for 'Content', but the experience that you had to go through is REAL! Mad respect from us here, in Malaysia.
So glad you bumped into the guy you wanted too see 😊. I'd love you to do some videos with some cash enjoying things more. I love the challenges but I'd love to see you enjoying sights and being a tourist more , even if you can get some sponsorship x
totally amazing series, my dream is to spend Christmas in New York but that's just a dream lol. this series i got emotional but awe inspiring and the point when Casey came out of the shop I felt the joy.. amazing and so glad I found your channel a few days ago. now i need to catch up with some of your past vids lol...
an absolute sensational series, man. much love from toronto, canada. planning on visiting NY this fall ideally & just enjoy the vibe of the hustle & culture there with my shorty. fantastic, inspirational work!
Toba, even though i love these challenges, i want you to enjoy your time... maybe next time... 5 days of a challenge, then 1 full day of 5 star living???? Great video as always... PS did you ever get another date?
Fab series Toba! Thanks for going to the effort to show us that it's possible to live for the amount you did in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Inspiring! 🙂
What a brilliant series mate Hats off to you about doing it Think the next collab should be you and Simon Wilson does America Keep up with the amazing work bud
Would be awesome, but I doubt it will happen. They seem to get along great, but their style of YT work is quite different. Toba mostly tries the fair way, while Simon does it rather sneaky. Toba comes across more profound in life, while Simon is all about fun.
I just love your videos you make them very interesting this was a good ideal to do such videos it's something different from other's. I love your personality your attitude the sound of your laugh and your beautiful smile. God is definitely with you because the chances you take shows it. You have taught us that when your traveling and your down on your last dollar no matter what through the grace of God things will work out if you know how to go about it.
Great series mate, doing this in NY means you can do it anywhere! Come to Copenhagen (in the summer hopefully) and my wife and I will happily give you a free meal
Great videos.. I'm off to New York in September on my own.. those last 5 videos were a great insight for me :) Thanks. You did great surviving there. Now subscribed to your channel.
Who’s that Casey guy. Never heard of him. Just found your stuff on TH-cam today. I watched all 5 surviving in New York with 1 dollar per day. I gotta say, this was entertaining. You didn’t pay for transportation at all which made me laugh
Brilliant series, Love the dedication Music is too loud in intros Happy you met Casey , I’m very jealous. Keep up the great content 🎉HNY!!! One criticism I do have is when you receive free things from people like 12:34 it would be nice to see you tipping atleast since this is purely for entertainment and you can most probably afford an actual burger 😂❤
I can't believe you saw Casey Neistat, that is so cool. I wish you would have stopped him to shake his hand and take a picture (would have made a great thumbnail). Great vlog!!
Great series, very entertaining to watch! Those who criticize don't seem to consider, that NY is much harder than London to get free vouchers and other social deals with fairness. Ok 1$ in NYC in these times is quite crazy lol, but you mastered it well. Only that canteen moment was rather inconsiderate, such places are expensive, but well, sometimes we just tumble into uncomfortable situations.
@@julieeggleton9743 all his videos are sponsored now,. When was the last time he did a proper "no money" challenge? What happened to his "Skintz" website?
I find is interesting how fascinated you where with Casey, he’s got 12 mil followers and you have 1 mill pretty much. Just goes to show human nature we always want more
he's just a fan. It's the same as when celebrities meet other celebrities. When you like someone's work or inspired by that person. You get star struck when you meet them
My honest review of this series: The first day there’s a lot of optimism and less desperation that’s to come, Toba seems like a chill guy making a challenging TH-cam video. As the days go on, he doesn’t do anything too slimy, just taking advantages of promotions/events during the day. However my biggest gripes have to do with trying to exploit the jacket for food. While yes he doesn’t take jackets from the free shop I’ll give him that, it’s the way he glosses over the reason those promotions exist: to help people actually in need. The other problems I have with the series are the borderline begging with employees and strangers to help him out. He doesn’t push it to the extreme, but it certainly didn’t put a great taste in my mouth. The way he said “I told the guy in front of me to get his free sandwich (from the Spotify event) and give it to me” gave me the impression that he directed him instead of asking, kind of rude if he put it that way but we didn’t see the interaction. The idea that you could pass by the front desk people at hostels and stay in there without a room wasn’t too unsettling at first, but as the series went on it made me uneasy and a little gross about him abusing the concept of low-cost shared living. Watching him go couch surfing would’ve made for a more comfortable and probably more humanitarian video. Speed round: creeping around Casey’s apt and video taping him was kinda weird, he’s very lucky that woman was nice enough to give him a free burger, he was lowkey negative with some comments, and also fortunate that he didn’t get murdered by that one guy in the dark room basement of that hostel. In conclusion: This was an interesting watch at first, but imo it devolves mostly into a bummer when you realize his pattern for sustenance. I don’t think this was the most egregious video he could’ve made, but it’s definitely not the most honorable. It takes a premise that leads you to believe it will be a frugal optimists’ journey and turns into a gloomy watch.

One of your most authentic series yet in terms of the way you express yourself with the swearing. I like it.
I’ve been watching you for YEARS, you changed my view of what it means to have no money and enjoy life. Im so happy you came to America and especially my home state :) I hope you have a good time!
😂 There is no enjoyment here. Seems stressful having little money.
I was so happy for you meeting Casey, I had a massive smile on my face! Awesome last episode, really enjoyed the series! You must have been so tired by the end! All those broken nights of poor quality sleep.
Love how Toba has almost a million subs and still fan girls when greeting fellow creators 🤣
Your comment makes NO sense. What DO you MEAN
@@mariesahota1478Toba is very popular yet he is a fan of many TH-camrs and gets very excited when he meets them
@@mariesahota1478The comment makes sense, you just need to work on your comprehension
It makes complete sense. @@mariesahota1478
Real recognize real
Bro mad respect to you, you’ve not seen a bed for 5 days yet still look fresh.
He has been doing these challenges for years. Been subbed to him for 5 years now.
The motivation I need as I prepare for my move there. I’m so excited. I literally packed my bags to every video. And it kept me going, No doubt, wasn’t in my head too much, kept praying as I’m watching .I’m so happy to have come across this. Thank you❤

Great series! Enjoyed this one more than normally, as I have been to New York a lot and wasted a lot of Monday! Thanks for sharing!
Videos not hitting like it used to.
I enjoyed this series. The way you hustled here in NYC, you've eliminated excuses for survival. Great content!
I’d rather meet Toba than Casey. True facts 😊
97 Eons old slime diner still serves their glorp the old fashioned way.
Wow!I didn't think u would see him.congrats!!!love ur vids.thk u for sharing them
I love the fan boying by big Tobs we all know that feeling super genuine
Try India or Southeast Asia. Feels like those places would be really interesting for this type of challenge.
He'd get free food all the freaking time.
Following you for years... thanks for all the great content! 🇮🇪
The people of New York can be so kind! You had a jacket (even though it was kinda tattered) she was like naw its all good its on the house
We have our moments lol.
music is too loud barely hearing you
My number one hate
Tern up your volume on your phone 🤡
@@jordonskyhow’s he a clown for this?
He might as well be a music channel the amount of shit music he put in his videos
Agreed
Nice to have the old london hacks back, loving this content toba 🙌
So glad you bumped into the guy you wanted too see 😊. I'd love you to do some videos with some cash enjoying things more. I love the challenges but I'd love to see you enjoying sights and being a tourist more , even if you can get some sponsorship x
Toba! Congrats ! U made it to this day! Happy New Year Dude!🎉🎉🎉
Your soooo lucky to meet Casey! I've watched him for years too and I would act completely the same hahaha! Great video again Toba 😊
loved this series much love toba!! ❤❤
The power of asking
Amazing video! Happy New year from St. Petersburg, Russia!🎇❤️🔥
awesome series dude!!
totally amazing series, my dream is to spend Christmas in New York but that's just a dream lol. this series i got emotional but awe inspiring and the point when Casey came out of the shop I felt the joy.. amazing and so glad I found your channel a few days ago. now i need to catch up with some of your past vids lol...
His past videos were even better, especially the london with no money challenges
I will watch them later thank you.
Been binging this guys channel and love these challenges. Try it in Toronto!
These vids mad entertaining
an absolute sensational series, man. much love from toronto, canada. planning on visiting NY this fall ideally & just enjoy the vibe of the hustle & culture there with my shorty. fantastic, inspirational work!
Toba, even though i love these challenges, i want you to enjoy your time... maybe next time... 5 days of a challenge, then 1 full day of 5 star living???? Great video as always... PS did you ever get another date?
How do you know he can afford 5 star living 😂
@@Dercudez tax deductable expense 😂😂
Maybe not 5 star but relatively expensive places
How you know he didn’t already have that
This series was sick 👌👍👍
Loved this series, good luck in LA stay safe
97 eons old slime diner still serves their glorp the old fashioned way.
That moment with Casey is class 😀
This guy can survive anywhere, because he doesn’t hesitate to ask for anything he wants.
Did you really asked the person at the burger place where to find a free jacket? Sometimes I think you must be a little bit mental Toba...
yeah very odd to ask that
😂😂
I mean it never hurts to ask and it does not seem that awkward at all. @@step9624
was a little disappointed he didn't donate something...I mean after all wasn't the promotion to help get jackets for homeless?
He should make a voluntary contribution to this place and the place that paid for his meal on day 1
I meet toba once in london he is such a nice person...
As if you saw Casey! Loved the build up to it 🙌😂 Great work with the freebies 🙌🔥
Fab series Toba! Thanks for going to the effort to show us that it's possible to live for the amount you did in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Inspiring! 🙂
When back in London ya should do a 5 day Survival challenge in Croydon.
Great series as always Toba
You actually survived 5 days on $1.27. That's awesome. Good luck on the next adventure.
Thanks for sharing your New York!🎉
Ion even know who Casey is but I was so happy for you 😂😂 nice to see my city with a different perspective than my own lol
went to nyc and saw a video he posted near the river literally 2 mins later walked intoi him what a nice guy casey is, keep up the great content
Haha you cracked it son went full fan boy mode on old mate . But u did meet him so full respect mate
Safe travels bro 🙏🏽
😂😂😂 i swear you get so much luck in every country you visit. it’s crazy haha
Come back soon my brother and your friend with you and enjoy the city more relaxed and travel to Brooklyn.
It was so gratifying watching you eat the pizza. I am glad you enjoyed it. It ahould be against the law for so many people to go hungry. Be safe.❤
great vid to end a great series
What a brilliant series mate
Hats off to you about doing it
Think the next collab should be you and Simon Wilson does America
Keep up with the amazing work bud

So happy you bumped into Casey, the genuine joy on your face ❤ I'd be so starstruck too!
You look so normal for someone who’s hardly slept 😅 id be looking like I crawled out the sewer after two days 😂
So amazing how you did this and found Casey!
7th street burger is fire! Highly recommend them. That staff was so nice as well 💯
I hope you enjoyed your stay in America so far, I’m glad that you are coming to California.
One thing I learned about this series is New York metro Station seems to be FREE
No it's not! Lol
Toba, you should visit Lake Toba
Crazy that you actually saw him randomly 😮
Who was it
Amazing series thank you
Try doing this without your phone 😂
Someday Casey neistat will be waiting outside your office in London lol
Awesome final day my friend marvelous video.
Yo Toba How are you my friend love your vids as always keep up the amazing work I'm here every step of the way 😊
Casey needs to see your videos! You’re a great filmmaker as well
Great series mate, doing this in NY means you can do it anywhere! Come to Copenhagen (in the summer hopefully) and my wife and I will happily give you a free meal
i remember the london ones W series
OMG !! You did it!!!
This guy is no longer a vegetarian 😅
What backpack do you use?
Great videos.. I'm off to New York in September on my own.. those last 5 videos were a great insight for me :) Thanks. You did great surviving there. Now subscribed to your channel.
Was not expecting casey to be home, that was cool
That Coke & Ice cream had you experiencing "Mudd Butt' 😂😂😂😂
Just stumbled on your channel, great content.
You’re so lucky meeting Casey! I tried meeting him in nyc when I went
glad ur back
Another great video

Meeting the king of NY him self Casey is crazy 💀👍
Great series 👍👍👍👍
Yo it’s insane that you actually met Casey. What were the odds
From Vegan to vegetarian and vegetarian to meat lover, this guy has come a long way!
Brilliant series,
Love the dedication
Music is too loud in intros
Happy you met Casey , I’m very jealous.
Keep up the great content 🎉HNY!!!

When i see all you video in newyork. I think i can travel to new york next year with 2500 dollar😂
I find is interesting how fascinated you where with Casey, he’s got 12 mil followers and you have 1 mill pretty much. Just goes to show human nature we always want more

Casey is literally one of the TH-cam OGs, he defined an era on TH-cam. Mr the hack is none of that, not comparable.
