As a person who’s about to graduate college with a deep hatred of the major i spent 4 years on and an all-consuming fear of the future - this video helped ease the tension a little. No plans might mean you find your passion and success within it. Your transparency and story telling style on the pod and the main channel is awesome. Excited to see your next project!
Thanks for sharing more about your life. You are not a failed person. The testament to a man’s strength is not how many times he fails. It’s how many times and how quickly he gets back to his feet and tries again.
Scary I’m walking in this dudes footsteps but 3 years behind. Hope my shit turns around like yours. Thanks for the content & glad you changed up big dawg !
You are a brilliant storyteller; and that is the very reason that I was able to enjoy this 40+ minute podcast just as much as all the videos of your "Ireland to Japan" series! 😊 Would love to see you travel across Africa, hopefully soon!
bro I went for the stand up route too. Honestly the story of me bombing night after night in front of 40 year old despondent alcoholics is funnier than any joke I ever wrote.
I just wanted to thank you for being so open on this episode. I found your channel because I’m going to Japan in a month with the GF and started binge watching all your videos. I really got to appreciate you through your travels and somewhat admired your way of living. When you started talking about your drug addiction I was like « oh he’s probably gonna mention his alcohol tendencies or maybe some upper? » but no. You took weed addiction super seriously. And it shook me, because I have a really hard time admitting I have this terrible addiction too. Well since I watched you video, I haven’t touched it. It’s been three days, hoping it’ll continue. Just wanted to say you really inspired me to take this stuff seriously and quit. Thank you
Your detailed description on life experiences is hilarious. I know it’s serious but you do a great job at making it lighthearted. Stand up comedy could work for you if you work at it for sure. Either way will keep following. Thanks for the great content!
Great stories! A word of advice to anyone who is considering going to Japan... GO! GO NOW! The exchange rate is incredibly favorable right now, especially from the US Dollar $. It is like everything is discounted 30% off (accommodations, food, trains, etc.)
Dude, I hope you read this comment. You are a great man! Once you said that you watched bald and bankrupt etc. I've watched them too, and I prefer you to all of them. Thank god you turned your life around. Now let's rock!
The jobs that you did and the life you lead is not "miserable" in any way. You are a hardworking person that saves up money to do what you love. I in many ways relate to you, and i see myself doing exactly what you did in a year or so after i finish school. My dream is also to travel and see the world, and im glad there are people such as yourself that didnt just have their travel money appear out of nowhere. You have given me hope and a headsup for my future travels, thank you so much.
This was a good one. I live in DC and I did not know about the no tipping issue. We always tip. I had dinner at Brasserie Liberte in Georgetown last Saturday and they add an automatic 20% to the bill. The waiter also asked us to give him additional money which was kind of tacky.
I signed up to be an extra at an agency in LA and paid them some money and never heard back from them. I also got fired from the Hard Rock for telling some Australians they should’ve tipped. Worked in Japan as an English teacher and quit after 6 months. I had a motorcycle in Japan and that opened up the countryside. I’ve thought seriously about driving for Uber too!
It would be awesome to hear about your TH-cam journey in detail! I've caught bits and pieces in your videos, but it would dope to hear you dive deeper-like your growth in subscribers and any tips you have for aspiring creators. Keep up the amazing work!
this episode was amazing, im honestly happy for you for finding what you truly love in life, some people take longer some people dont and its crazy how much you had to struggle too, early-mid twenties are the hardest part of most people's life tbh
I moved to the Atlanta area from Toronto Canada in the week after 9/11, and that was a huge culture shock for me. I spent much of the first few weeks there sitting in the parking lot of the local Wal-Mart watching the Wal-martians come and go. It's a different world down there. My girlfriend at the time joked about how there were two types of Wal-Mart shoppers, 'the pigs', and 'the cows', based on their body shape (apples and pears). I can only imagine your degree of culture shock as you first ventured into the world. Kudos, respect.
dude i found ur videos back in december and i cannot get enough ! I so badly want to start traveling the world espeically japan and potentially move out there when i get the chance and you really sold me on how great japan is. Hopefully when im fiinally planning my trip i can get some advice from you on it.
Move like forever? You could get a job teaching there. It's expensive to stay indefinitely anywhere without an income stream. Japan broke me in 10 days and I was in Korea making good money!
I told you. You will be successful youtube traveler. I'm having bad drug habit, weed habi, alcoholi. I'm now been😊44months in Philippine. I'm getting better and your vids always helping me. ❤
I love your videos man, when you visit the reality of countries and cities and every culture is so different but also in many ways the same. Great people, and shitty people. I had some great adventures watching you visit Japan, visit the Middle East, places I may never visit in my lifetime. Hope your doing well, keep these videos going, they inspire me, not to travel, because I’m not a travel person but your videos inspires me to keep going in my artistic abilities, keep working on my TH-cam channel. Your awesome Connor, God bless you always. 🙏
I'm sure this has been answered before but what camera do you use? I've been traveling full-time for the past year and would really like to document more of it. Lots of pictures but not as many videos as I'd have liked. I have a ton of respect for you being able to talk to a camera in public!
Connor i just watched your videos and became a subscriber. I thoroughly enjoyed all your videos and your story. But im dying to know how many times (if at all) did you get sick on your journey. Whether it was food poisening or otherwise? And if you did get sick how did you cope with this?
You should watch the anime Golden Boy. It’s an older hand drawn anime with only 6 episodes about a guy that does what you like to do, travel and pick up random jobs.
Thank you for this insight. Makes a lot of perspective on your travel videos like Columbia and beyond. I thought your work on farm in Ireland where you started on a bike, was just a joke and you didn't actually work there lol. Also suprised that you got back to regular jobs after your Ireland to Japan trip. Anyway really enjoying your travels and how you go with the flow always. Best episode was hands down with Ahmed, but also liked your hellhole journey of India hahaha. Also was really suprised how Pakistan is completely different and so friendly.. Favourite travel quote: "I've got no idea what am I doing" xD BTW if it's any comfort to you, I earn around 16k USD (around 15.5k Euro) in a eastern EU country working at a soul crushing engineer job..and that is considered OK here lol. Stay safe and keep on being you!
Hey bro, love ya vids.....on the flip side of tipping from an ozzie POV. The only time I've been to a US state was Hawaii with the family from Japan (wife and I live in Oz). 2 weeks Japan, week in Hawaii this trip. Having unbeatable service food and price in Japan, then heading over to Hawaii. J beer/food prices low for quality, US prices for fast food style food high and service nothing special for pretty average food. It just felt like entitlement culture. We had long waits, food coming out at different times, missed orders. It was the worst service I've ever experienced and people literally complained when we paid the minimum recommended tips. We'd explain how much they farked up and it was just excuses and complaints. But hey, you've travelled. You know this right ; )
Dude,,, you could totally do stand up. Just act like your doing a pod cast while in stage. Your timing is really good, just don't let the crowd shake that up. You should totally try going back to an open mike night. You are funny as hell
These videos are gold. You tell the stories great, could feel like I was there on each one. Especially the NFL / Rapper Americans. Yikes! Unpopular opinion, but hope people consider the possibility and research themselves, they are very much being conditioned to see 1804 Haiti as the goal, while we're being conditioned to be individualists.
I think office jobs shouldn’t traumatize us. Maybe the system has made work less rewarding financially and physically. That could explain why there are so many 20 and 30somethings that flee soul-crushing, unrewarding labor. It was awesome to hear your story. Love the travel vids, thanks dude!
Sorry maybe I missed it, but while you were remote in Colombia, where did the law firm think you were, geographically? Solid pod, man. Just found you a month or two ago and I like your stuff.
Very interesting! I'm piecing your story together from these videos, but I'm very curious when you met your girlfriend and how she ties into your travels
@@StrawHat-World yeah, those are the videos that I love so much . So many people that are traveling independently in non-tourist areas are there basically for romantic reasons . Which is very annoying. This person is traveling to travel. I wonder if anybody knew somebody doing it like this
I love your content dude but I think the summary for this video is: I have well-off parents who were always there as a support system when my wacky antics went nowhere or I didn't want to work hard and just do drugs. Not just being salty here, I mean sure it is normal to be jealous of people who just got lucky in life (I also include in the "luck" part that you are very attractive and charismatic), but I wish you displayed some self-awareness about it. There was a brief mention of living with your parents but you made it sound unimportant to the overall story of your adult life. Unless this is some elaborate 5D chess ultimate irony humor and you purposefully skirted around the issue of your privilege as a gag in which case, you got me.
here's a 1% tip to tell us the joke, that way you can say you made money as a comedian
wow I'm a real professional comedian now
wow I would love telling my sad life story on a 45 minutes youtube podcast for a 5 dollar tip I would love that
@@scottphris That's a 6.667% tip!

Man you are an inspiration. Just broke up after a 2.5 yr relationship - and hearing your perspectives and seeing your travel gives me hope.

Bro this is your best pod yet. Literally sounds like a stand up bit lol
Haha, thanks dude
Would love to see you make lil vids of even close to home adventures. I find that your dialogue is adds to making every video so enjoyable to watch 😊
His commentary is the best!!!!!!!
I only deliver food with Uber. Here's the tip those young Atlanta rappers never gave you 👍
Really enjoyed the stories brother. I just turned 27 and it helps hearing stuff like this.
35:15 I knew it lmao
you've genuinely really changed my outlook on life. watching this put me at ease.
You have the perfect voice and personality for Radio. 👍

found this channel two days ago and its very bueno, pretty much the only vlog type videos I've ever found to be actually entertaining 💀
He has another channel with travel videos
I watch that one too, both channels are genuinely entertaining I love it @@jean-christopheguite5538
Love your normal content, but you've been killing it with the pods recently!! Keep it up bro
Great stories!
A word of advice to anyone who is considering going to Japan... GO! GO NOW!
The exchange rate is incredibly favorable right now, especially from the US Dollar $.
It is like everything is discounted 30% off (accommodations, food, trains, etc.)
the brutal honesty cuts deep. Love this type of stuff Respect you more , and gonna donate once my stand up career hits off.
Dude, I hope you read this comment. You are a great man! Once you said that you watched bald and bankrupt etc. I've watched them too, and I prefer you to all of them. Thank god you turned your life around. Now let's rock!

Thanks for sharing! Here to listen!
7:56...i thought you were googling the size of a lincoln navigator and calculating the volume of hummus it could hold
All your grinding paid off! Congratulations!

Move like forever? You could get a job teaching there. It's expensive to stay indefinitely anywhere without an income stream. Japan broke me in 10 days and I was in Korea making good money!
Thanks for recommending Rolf Potts' "Vagabonding" in another video. It just got delivered and I just started it.
I told you. You will be successful youtube traveler. I'm having bad drug habit, weed habi, alcoholi. I'm now been😊44months in Philippine. I'm getting better and your vids always helping me. ❤
Sad.
Love these style of videos too
Maybe consider the fact that you didn't get jacked on that Uber trip as your tip? :)
Love the show. More Sara. You two have a really great dynamic.
That was a really impressive rant, well done 10/10
Epic story teller and had me dieing 😂. Thats crazy you were a child actor . No wonder you are so natural infront of the camera dawggg.
Your impersonation of a French person though 🤣🤣🤣🤣

share more of your teaching in Japan stories cuz i feel like I'm in your same shoes that you were but I am trying to teaching in Korea!
Loved this! When are you going to travel again? Love your videos, the best!
Big fan of your candidness 🙃
I'm a fan of your main channel. Just found the pod. Cool stories! Keep at it man!
"i would love to listen to Yung Banz at full volume until my speakers blow and rattle" lmfao

I worked at Nova too. I lasted four months. Absolutely one of the worst jobs I ever had.
I've migrated to Germany from America and am planning on pursuing TEFL once I get on my feet
I’ve wondered about this before. One must already be bilingual to be able to pursue TEFL, yeah?
@williamsullivan3967 No, most who pursue it aren't bilingual
i could talk for hours about this. But yeah, totally relatable in a lot of ways..
I've listened to this video about your hilarious experience in an office and your ayuasca video and I swear we are the same person.
Love your rawness bro 😂
Nah how did i find this 3 seconds after the upload, wild
So… how do you afford to travel long term? 😂
His parents or parent actually work or worked, there are a whole generation of us living off our parents.
You’ve lived more in a year than most of us have lived our entire lives.
This is why tipping is stupid and should be eliminated entirely (just pay the service staff a higher base wage).
Yes, same in Denmark I was working as a waiter for 2 years before becoming a student at university...people shit on you all the time! haha
I'm in your columbia 9-5 situation right now, hopefully I could break out of it someday my friend
how did you get the desert job ?
Trust me you don’t want it
Dude,,, you could totally do stand up. Just act like your doing a pod cast while in stage. Your timing is really good, just don't let the crowd shake that up. You should totally try going back to an open mike night. You are funny as hell
really enjoying your content sir, from the little french islands in northern america of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon ! Come visit us !
Waving me down like they were on rooftops in katrina 😂
fentanyl phase?!
I feel like the dive bar was Tooey's haha

great vid! I was wondering - what did you go to college for / why did you choose against that career path?
Funny stuff man. I came across your Channel when I solo traveled around for a couple weeks back in October. Great content keep it up!
Sorry maybe I missed it, but while you were remote in Colombia, where did the law firm think you were, geographically? Solid pod, man. Just found you a month or two ago and I like your stuff.
awesome resume 😂
The system is failing, it's not us.
bruh this is literally amazing fucking content lmao
You should totally try stand up again - but an open mike somewhere like NY or LA. You're really funny.
Hey, what did you go to college for??
Very interesting! I'm piecing your story together from these videos, but I'm very curious when you met your girlfriend and how she ties into your travels
He mentioned once it was at a hostel in Istanbul.
Did you have any issues with work visas while you were travelling through those countries? I've applied for similar things and its always a bitch.
The Columbia episode is literally copy/paste part from “Eurotrip”
Loved this one. What did you study in college?
Excellent...how much are you making on TH-cam?😊
In my country we dont tip either. And what if the persons broke or short on cash and cant give u the tip much less the percentage ur asking
lol... we do tip a lot here in europe! :D
You got dudes in the comments section tipping more than some foreign diplomats, good shit mate
Where do you pay taxes?
I'm in the position you were in in your Uber life. The US is absolutely a soul crushing insane asylum...
This is true. I’m guessing you’re bit younger than me but you already know. Good on ya.
Uber specifically summoned the nearest Altima for the mission. Its a great app.
the traveling vids on this channel are unmatched ....if anyone knows another , please lmk , ty
He also has a main channel if you didn’t know
@@StrawHat-World yeah, those are the videos that I love so much .
So many people that are traveling independently in non-tourist areas are there basically for romantic reasons . Which is very annoying.
This person is traveling to travel. I wonder if anybody knew somebody doing it like this
Sabbatical is another good one. Just a good ass dude, traveling the world solo. I think he’s still in Africa currently.
@@williamsullivan3967 thank you …. i’ll check that.
It makes sense that you failed at all of those jobs, because you were not filming yourself talking on TH-cam. You were born to do this!
I love your content dude but I think the summary for this video is: I have well-off parents who were always there as a support system when my wacky antics went nowhere or I didn't want to work hard and just do drugs.
Not just being salty here, I mean sure it is normal to be jealous of people who just got lucky in life (I also include in the "luck" part that you are very attractive and charismatic), but I wish you displayed some self-awareness about it. There was a brief mention of living with your parents but you made it sound unimportant to the overall story of your adult life.
