    This is odd. I think you forgot the actual video and only uploaded the ad.

    Why are you subtitling this?

    This was great! Not sure why everyone’s being so negative :( It was short and sweet, helping give a sliver of insight into what a travel writer does in order to be more creative.

      My thoughts exactly?🤨 I'm beginning to wonder of it's just me or is this world becoming so so cynical.

    Further tips include: breathing, eating, drinking water and never wear socks in sandals. :P

      Then you've never been to the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. Wearing socks with sandals is a signature.

    Every time I watch this video I get tears in my eyes. Obviously, those who are making negative comments still need some spiritual guidance.
    I wished to find out the musics they play on the background. They are really nice melodies.

    *Meeting at Great Big News office:*
    Editor: Come in and take a seat. Right, I would like you to fly to the other side of the world, take a minute or two worth of footage of some guy who writes some stuff, and then fly right back. All clear?
    Journalist: Yes, understood.
    Editor: Great. Have it on my desk by Thursday.

    The only thing bad about this video is that is too short. I get the idea so what's up with the negative comments?

    Does somebody know what happened?

    • @desire-for-madness
      @desire-for-madness 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think it's because it recieved a lot of negative comments and because people were unhappy with the quality.

  • @Lydus

    This is just an ad for a super expensive hotel. You can do way better!

  • @josephbratcher2249
    @josephbratcher2249 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Huh, all the comments are so negative but I thought it was a good video. I like to make sure I do all those things when I travel. Walking instead of driving whenever possible, observing the natural lives of the locals rather than trying to force a certain experience, and reflecting or journaling later to better understand what new wisdom this different culture has to offer. Sure it was totally an ad for a hotel in Singapore but it was still a cool perspective from a seasoned traveler.

    We are looking for real story, not an ad which affects our subconscious mind to be in Singapore. Let us decide that.

    You should have left this video not available in my region, because now I watched the worst video ever on this channel. Not a Big Story but a Weak Ad.

    This video was basically a whole lot of nothing. He has such a nice voice to actually give practical information on how to travel. Too bad instead we get romantic jargon.
