      They seemed like such a nice couple. It's awesome that they wanted their daughter to get out there and live. I can't imagine that was easy to do.
      I wonder if they tell people to watch their TH-cam channel to prove that they've done this kinda thing before and are highly unlikely to kidnap their daughter lol. I'm sure that definitely helps set people at ease. I mean it also doesn't hurt all these guys are super charismatic too lol.

      Nah, the father looked uncomfortable at the end when he realized that his wife had hugged Steffan more times and longer than she ever hugged her own husband. Look closely at 8:31. They edited out the third hug (when the mother tells Steffan "I know you're a good man") out of respect for the father's feelings, but from 7:46 to 7:50 her mother hugged Steffan longer than she ever hugged her own husband.
      And if it's "just a hug," then why doesn't her husband get to hug 25 year old American girls the way his wife hugs American guys half her age? Put yourself in the father's shoes

    • @blake9668
      @blake9668 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Later_Nerd They had an open marriage. Why else would the father be okay with his WIFE hugging their daughter's new "guy friend" longer than she ever hugged him and more times than she ever hugged him? Steffan was rizzing up her mother and I think the father caught onto that by the time he was dropping his daughter off at the airport but because his daughter was so happy that she was going on an adventure he didn't really say anything. How could he compete with Steffan anyway given that Steffan is twice his size, younger-than-him, and more athletic and charismatic?
      If I was that age and my wife hugged another guy that many times (they edited out the third hug), I would file for divorce

    • @blake9668
      @blake9668 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also, let's be real here, the father isn't very territorial (as Andrew Tate) would say given that he let his wife hug Steffan longer and more times than she ever hugged him. A lot of guys would disapprove or divorce their wife if she hugged a guy young enough to be her son, but he was okay with it so I doubt he's very controlling to begin with

    I was still a 15 year old kid when I start watching your channel. I even sent you a tweet the day I found out about your channel just because I was so amazed with the quality of your content. I thought that I wanted you guys to know how much I appreciate your videos. I'm 21 years old now and I still get emotional whenever I watch one of your videos, it's been five years now but it feels the same way when I first started watching you guys.
    To this day, I still haven't left the country. Not even once have I been on a plane or a boat. Given that both of my parents lived in the same place, I didn't really have any place to go. Even though I don't have a passport, I'd love to visit Batanes, a province in my country, which is the Philippines.
    Batanes is the northernmost, smallest, most isolated and literally the most peaceful province in our country. It has a ZERO crime rate. People living their are known for their honesty.
    Given the chance, I've always wanted to visit Batanes with my mom. She's the only one I have. She's a single mom earning $54 per month. I am well aware that the two of us will never be able to travel in our own given our situation.
    I hope that you guys can give us this once-in-a-lifetime chance and let this be me and my mother's life’s greatest moment. Thank you so much! I just signed up to headspace looking forward to this app!

    Hey guys! Almost two years to date, I decided to seek discomfort by getting my pilot's license. I have always had a massive fear of heights, as well as flying in general. After discovering what you do and how you live life, I was overwhelmingly inspired. Not only did I become a Pilot, but I became commercial pilot with THREE instructor ratings, all within a SEVEN MONTH PERIOD! It was the most difficult time of my life, but now I get to look back and see how far I've come.
    The reason I would love a ticket to anywhere is because my wife has a promise with an elephant in Thailand. she visited an elephant sanctuary there around ten years ago, backpacking for several months and made a promise to come back and greet her elephant friend. We haven't been able to travel because of student debt, and it would make my dream come true to reunite her with one of her best friends.
    Thanks for all the inspiration you give to not only me and my family, but the whole world.

      To everyone who’s asked, what I recommend doing is call your local flight school and speak to a flight instructor. The hardest part for a future student is actually taking that first step and going to the flight school to talk about lessons.
      With all that said, it’s not an easy path to take. There is so much that a pilot needs to know when it comes to the plane, as well as weather and aerodynamics. But I challenge all of you; seek that discomfort as I did, because it’ll change your life!

Call the nature and the nature will heal you. I wish you all the great and I hope that you will deal with all your health issue. I don't believe anymore on medication industry so I would suggest to try and find alternative medication which mostly are done by trees and leafs.

    Every time I watch videos from Yes Theory, I get this overwhelming urge to get out and explore the world. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried watching your videos and thinking about all the beautiful places that make up our planet.
    Growing up, my family struggled to stay afloat financially. We never had any big fancy family vacations. If we did, it was a cheap camping spot somewhere 30 minutes away and every penny was scraped up by my parents to give my siblings and I a fun time.
    With that, I’ve always dreamed of taking my dad to Greece to see his homeland again. He works unbelievably hard to support my siblings and I and taking him on that trip would be a dream come true.
    You all have truly inspired me to seek discomfort and to do things that scare me. People like you, Kara and Nate, Eamon and Bec, and so many others have changed my whole perspective on life. So, thank you. Thank you for making this world a better place and giving others a chance to experience our precious Mother Earth.

    This hits me hard. I had an employee that became a very close friend named Darren that was from Palau and would tell me about it often. He served in the military in the US but was unable to vote in our elections due to his status being from Palau. He was the most fun to have around, had the biggest heart, and was so important to many. He was able to come to the US with his family due to a treaty the US has with Palau since we dock many of our military ships at their shores. We unfortunately lost him recently when he was walking to a hit and run. I know he would be happy seeing his previous home be displayed like this. Thank you Yes Theory.

Today I'm also traveling a lot, slowly making my dream of becoming a digital nomad reality.

I was so surprised when I saw this video come up because it’s my home country! Never did I ever thought it would come up while watching your videos. I live in the US with my American husband and it has been almost 10 years since I have been there. My mom would come and visit when she can but she is getting old and my husband has yet to meet my father. We have been planning on going in 2020 then the pandemic hit and Palau closed their borders so our plan hit the burners. Now I’m excited to tell you guys we are going this coming September and I’m so excited! I’m excited to show the love of my life the experiences you guys went through when you visited my country Palau! I can’t wait!

    Congrats Steffan! I hope to travel to the Phillippines or Japan one day. As an American who has never had the opportunity to leave the USA before I would love to experience new cultures.

    I've been catching up on a lot of Yes Theory videos and gosh they always hit me in the feels, in the best way possible. You guys are truly my favorite TH-cam channel of all time. I love what you guys do and I aspire to be more yes-orientated.

    This was absolutely beautiful. To see the joy on everyone's face on this trip was something special. I hope to see more Strangers either joining in at the locations or taking the trip to a location. I love this channel.

      They probably banged them throughout right? That's why they chose a couple decent looking girls?

    The fact that you guys have built a group of people of all different backgrounds and cultures is so beautiful. Turns out we are all the same and it's tremendous. Thank you for living and also loving, trying times require loving people and sometimes it's hard to be that.

    Hey guys, just a suggestion. You guys could come back here in the Philippines and do the same thing, but the difference is that you could ask someone who seems to be less fortunate to travel, and have them travel with you within the Philippine territory (esp if they don't have a passport). After all, we do have a lot of beautiful places (such as islands/beaches), where you guys could go. 😊

    OH MY GOD! YES THEORY WAS IN MY COUNTRY, THE PHILIPPINES! 🇵🇭 Yes Theory has been my biggest inspiration, that's why I'm saying YES to more adventures this year. Just last February, I climed my first mountain, and just yesterday, I booked my first out of the country trip. I have planned and dreamed of this for years. I've already watched too much travel vlogs, so finally, finally I'm doing it. I'll be doing a lot of firsts on this trip as I'll be travelling alone, so I'm so so excited! Thank you, Yes Theory for showing us the world, for sharing stories, for keeping us inspired, for helping us dream and for giving us the courage to do more.
    Cheers to more YESES! Cheers to Yes Theory! Cheers to Staffan! 🍻

    This video was immensely moving 😭 There is so much more happiness in giving than receiving!!
    My husband and I got married the November before Covid and that pretty much cancelled all of our travel plans. A couple of months later he quit his job of almost 15 years to help support starting our own small business. He’s been SO much less stressed/anxious (it just wasn’t worth it) and so much happier. I’ve been able to travel out of the country, but he hasn’t other than Mexico. I’ve been wanting to take him somewhere spectacular to see the world & experience different cultures. To be honest, I’d be happy to just go anywhere. Anywhere to really connect with nature and have peace 🤍
    Thanks for the video 🙌🏾 And thanks headspace 🙂

    I started watching yestheory about four years ago during my travels in Brazil. That time was such a weird space in my life because my loved ones were not supportive at all of my journey to travel! It was a very lonely time for me! Watching yestheory, and learning about seeking discomfort helped me rediscover myself and confirm my mission in this life! I no longer felt alone.
    You guys are so inspiring. You have changed my life in so many ways and I am so grateful! I strive to keep seeking discomfort and I’m so glad yestheory is here to remind me! :)
    I have so many places I would love to travel, but lately I have been thinking so much about Patagonia! I would love to travel there with my husband ❤ and you guys!!! (why not put that out there😂)
    Thank you yestheory for continuing to spread your message.

    So cool that Staffan is a full time Yes Theory member!! I remember when you did the first episode with him and I was so drawn to his gratitude and appreciation for life and new experiences.
    I love this channel!!
