HUGE congrats in getting to collaborate with EA & the sims, with them allowing you to totally express your passion without needing a massive advertisement! Wishing you all the best homie.
As a guy in my early 20's, I gotta say your videos have been a huge source of inspiration over the past year of my life. Thank you for all the positivity you spread. Keep it wholesome :)
this video hit really close to home if im being honest as i venture on a path that mimics the same steps you took. i'm lost, i don't really know where i'm going, i often feel like, "man, maybe this just isn't right." but then i remember that it did feel right at one point in time. it's the entire reason as to why i took a break from school, it's behind my motivations to continue to live for myself, ultimately i am moving towards everything that i ever wanted one step at a time, and i often forget why i'm doing what i'm doing and get distracted by negligible thoughts. i guess, like your analogy with the boat, i forget why i got on the boat in the first place and why i continue to sail towards new horizons. idk where i'll end up, i hope it's somewhere amazing of course, but i'll make sure to remember that everything will come together even if it takes a long time. once again, thanks for the video simon :)
catching up on all the old videos i've missed. i've been feeling really down these past couple months, i'm trying to nudge my creativity back to life, and this is helping. love ya simon
Last vlog felt like a season finale, this vlog feels like a season premiere. For a new season of life :) Also thats so many cool people down in Austin now wow good stuff
Video was amazing as per usual. I am so happy for you moving in and can't believe this is only episode 16. I can't wait to hear more about your journey and your insight into what it is like being a creator. Wish you all the best and hello to your roomates. 👋
Amazing video bro! Massive shoutout to the sponsors of your video! You're dream of becoming a creator is already building into a reality. You are doing great :)
Thank you for being you, Simon.Fif sharing these moments. So often you make me smile, make me cry, make me not feel alone at all. And I also wants to thank this community you're all are special and wonderfull. Have a nice day😊
Life outside of college is SO weird and different!! It took me forever to be able to call my new house a home. it still feels weird, lol. Glad it's not just me :)
i remember watching your roadtrip to national parks with your friends the night before my first day of school. I remembered wondering how your channel only had 30k subs with not a lot of views, glad to see your dedication and work pay off
WOOHOOO!!! proud of you dude for getting that sponsorship!!🎉🎉 But also your videos have inspired me to start creating videos. Yes I'm still figuring out how to start that first video and how to continue forward with it but I want to create and I want to tell storys. I want to create a group, a community but also telling a story that others can relate to. Your just been a big inspiration for this
This is incredible man. I can’t wait to see the rest of this series, and I wish you lots of luck on this incredible journey of yours! I’m planning on moving countries by myself in a year (when I’m 19) and I’m absolutely terrified yet excited at the same time, and it’s comforting to see I’m not alone with this big life changes. Lots of love man 🫶🏽
This video randomly showed up in my recommended feed today. I started watching it and I fell out of my chair when I saw Max in the video. Now I know how your video ended up in my feed. Congratulations and best wishes in your move to Austin
Man. What a timing. I haven't been to your channel in a few months, but since I'm also moving away from home soon to pursue my dream and feeling very excited but also very weird and very scared, even though it feels right. So I remembered your channel, how it comforted me during some tough times and helped me navigate my feelings in a healthy way and I see this dropped just a few hours ago. What can I say? Thank you for sharing your journey, for being genuine, especially in today's culture, especially on social media, where everything seems to be about putting on an act. Thank you for keeping it honest and real.
You are an amazing story teller brother! Keep it up and great work so far! One great quote you may like it, "The boy and the horse are walking through the forest and the boy says to the horse, 'I can't see a way through.' And the horse replies, 'Can you see the next step?' The boy says, 'Yes.' The horse encourages, 'Just take that step.'" Also, would be a cool story to hear how your parents and family are taking all of this, your friends, the life you chose and the life you have now made for yourself. Something I am curious about, not sure if I am the only one.
Always enjoy watching updates from your journey! peep the cincinnati driveby lol, hard to believe only a few days till we're in the same location again!
Mate, you are not just inspiring, your story is humbling and I'm so keen to tag along on it. Please keep doing what you're doing to inspire growth 🥰 (Imagine being interviewed by the Austin folk, like Joe Rogan, i dunno - the opportunities are endless!)
8:19 REAL TALK, logically and from a story perspective it’s so easy to spin the narrative towards your passions and skills, but sometimes it’s really hard to find motivation on an emotional level when trying to connect to your “purpose”. I think that’s where friends come in :) We are intrinsically community and relationship seeking creatures. we live for our purpose, but we stay alive for the people we love (my take).
I’m 20 trapped in a job I don’t rlly want to do don’t have the money to travel and am socially awkward so don’t have any friends. But your vids inspire me to try and live my life and just do what I want to do. Hopefully when I’ve saved up enough money I can get travelling and live a spontaneous life I’ve always wanted to. I wanna see new things meet new ppl just wanna be free hopefully soon that day will come
as a kid I remember watching DIY videos and thinking to my self "This looks so fun i want to make videos like this". But I was too young at the time and never knew how to start. although I did post a couple random ass videos of me being a zombie and dancing with a friend. they're so embarrassing 😭But after posting those videos I knew TH-cam is what I wanted to pursue. Anyways over the years My interest in what i wanted to make my videos about changed every year or so. From DIY videos to making videos of my pets to me just playing Minecraft. Now that I am in my 20s I've realized that for the past 3 years now, the thought of vlogging has never left my mind. And I think that this year, I will finally start uploading like how i always wanted to as a kid :) I'm a complete beginner with filming and I am SO camera shy (and shy in general), but I'll try my best. Especially because I don't want to work for the rest of my life 😭. Just subbed man. Your videos look so great and already give me so much inspiration. The friend group you guys have is beyond amazing and that's something I've been dreaming to have. I wish you and your group the best and cannot wait to see where this goes in the next 16 months :) Thank you to whoever read this far
Hey Simon, I know this is a very long shot, but I've been following you, natalie and max for quite some time now and love your work. I am travelling to austin in three weeks time and still looking for a place to crash for 5 days. Sooo yeah this is very unconventional i know but if you would have or know a place in austin that would be very much appreciated
Hey Simon I found your channel because of Natalie’s videos you guys have inspired me so much I just want to say thank you. I’m a junior in high school right now and I’ve opened a club called wholesome society it’s a travel camp so people can experience nature together a way to easy their mental health & create a beautiful community, i would love a reply of your thoughts about it and any recommendations for the club would be wonderful thank you so much for your beautiful videos I always find myself rewatching your content when I’m struggling. Thank you.
Great idea, I wish we had something like that in my country. Obviously starting a group chat, market it, actually doing something and not just creating it and letting it die, have democratic votes for trip ideas etc, honestly the most simple things in life are the best, going into a random forest with a hammock and just chatting to a friend with some music on, etc.
HUGE congrats in getting to collaborate with EA & the sims, with them allowing you to totally express your passion without needing a massive advertisement! Wishing you all the best homie.
Thanks Matthew :) that means the world!!!
Holesome Simon
you and max are on a roll
As a guy in my early 20's, I gotta say your videos have been a huge source of inspiration over the past year of my life.

You are an amazing story teller brother! Keep it up and great work so far!

How is the editing just so ✨️good✨️
8:19 REAL TALK, logically and from a story perspective it’s so easy to spin the narrative towards your passions and skills, but sometimes it’s really hard to find motivation on an emotional level when trying to connect to your “purpose”. I think that’s where friends come in :) We are intrinsically community and relationship seeking creatures. we live for our purpose, but we stay alive for the people we love (my take).
9:54 and that’s the most important thing :>
Love your videos but can you please make them longer
Great vid bro. Any tips on finding ppl I can resonate with?
Congratulations, Simon! ❤
LETS GOOO
Simon the GOAT 🎉
7:19 ray dalio! also, what does 1) mean, who is they? why you decide to make decisions for them?
I’m 20 trapped in a job I don’t rlly want to do don’t have the money to travel and am socially awkward so don’t have any friends. But your vids inspire me to try and live my life and just do what I want to do. Hopefully when I’ve saved up enough money I can get travelling and live a spontaneous life I’ve always wanted to.
