Life is about living in the moment.. Don't think much about the past or future bcos either of them do not exist, what is true is present.. Life live king size..
Me and my boyfriend are planning an Asia trip and started watching many peoples vlogs. You are the one we both enjoy the most to watch! You are so kind and respectful yet honest and very chill. Thank you for your work and rawness!
Yes, I totally agree with you guys. Gabi is a very special humang being. Connects like minded folks together. Have you seen India vlogs? Cheerio
My sincere condolences on the loss of your grandfather. And thank you for the wise words.
Condolences on the passing of your dear grandpa. What a great tribute to his life, he would be very proud. RIP.
Hallo Gabi. I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, he was very old and has experienced many things in his lifetime, hopefully mostly good things. God bless him. I like your idea of living in the moment and taking advantage of life while you are in good health, me myself turn 70 this year and hope to get a few more years for travel and other fun things together with my wife. Take care Gabi. See you in Vientene
You are inspirational and today your video was very special to me. I have also been grieving for 1,5 years as my 20 year old beloved niece died. A person that lived travelling like you and me and others.
The other day I was watching your Varanasi video, also very inspirational. I'm happy being back in Thailand in April. Travelling makes you feel what is really important in life, what you need and what you love.... which makes me smile again...as whenever you say "Let's go for a coffee" I feel relaxed as I guess I had been waiting for that moment in your video.
May your grandfather be at a precious place full of sunshine.
Thank you from Germany
I am a housewife and I am learning English to watch your videos. How I say how much I enjoy your videos. You are a great video maker, a great personality. Thank you for sharing your amazing journeys, I am traveling with you on screen. you deserve a good grandchild! He was proud of you too. Rest In Peace ✌️
My condolence Gabi my brother..
I lost my mum 2months back in Ghana🇬🇭...I couldn't be at the funeral cus I'm here in South Africa circumstances didn't allow me to go and see my mum for the last time it's kinna very sad...I understand your feeling bro
Gabi my husband and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Your life philosophy is similar to our own. It’s a precious life….and you live it with joy, courage and appreciation. Love x
GABI I am so sorry for your loss. Your grandpa must be very proud of you.
Hug you. 👼
Gabi. I shed some tear while listening you talking about your lost. Myself I lost my parents and I know what is that. So, I have no words to confort your heart. I just want to say what you have just said "make the most of it" life is a journey. We never know when it will end. So, that's it. I will keep travelling with you by watching your wonderfull videos. Keep safe. God bless you.
My condolences on your loss, Gabi. Your grandfather sounded like a true mentor and friend. Please take care.
I love your videos, they are so different from the rest. They are always so calm and relaxing. Everyone else has so much fluff and over exaggerated happiness about every little thing which is not realistic.
Thank you for sharing those beautiful words, so eloquently spoken. I couldn't have said it better. I hope more young people find your videos. I wish I knew this big beautiful world existed out there sooner. We always fear the unknown. But seeing you get around without knowing the language and just on a simple motorbike is inspiring. I feel in the US so many people have never even left the State they live in. They live in constant fear of the outside world, that you could get shot if you knock on the wrong door at night. I do find hope with the younger generation, with the internet and TH-cam they realize that it is a big world out there. And most people are just like them, just trying to live the best they can.
Sorry to hear of your loss Gabi. Thank you for sharing stories of your grand father.
My condolences to you! Thank you for such beautiful sightseeings in Vang Vieng, I didn’t know Laos has such amazing mountains range…! I definitely wanted to go there!
You re a sensitive person, I appreciate very much your sincerity!
Life is just a passage for us, we re going to die as you wanted to point out the truth which most people don’t see it or just ignore it!
Face the truth & enjoy life as much as we can in every single minute…because this now minute is gone too…! Thank you for your wisdom! God blessed you Gaby!
Rest in peace ✌️ Grandpa you'll be missed and second I'm in love ❤️ watching laos through your eyes Gabrielle .... Please make more videos like this
Rest in peace to your grandfather. Life cannot be understood or comprehended, it can only be lived. The comprehension is merely our thoughts passing by which do not matter all.
So sorry to hear your sad news about your Grandpa. What amazing life he had and he reached a very good age. I have loved Laos and the wonderful scenery and nature. Thank you for sharing your journey with us .
Celebrate your grandfather, Gabi! A new adventure begins for him! I took that route on a Laos bus and the bus broke down in the mountains!
So sorry for the loss of your Grandpa. He sounds like an amazing role model for you with profound yet simple wisdom. Thank you for your amazing videos and commentary. 🙏🙏
What a beautiful, moving video and tribute to you Grandfather. It brought me to tears. I have found your channel recently and I'm loving working through your videos, they are really special. Not just stunning videography but they are combined with emotional honesty and spirituality which makes them very special. Thinking of you during this difficult time after losing your Grandpa. x
Hi Gabi,i hope you can also visit the philippines😊i have a great time watching all your vlogs,more power to you stay safe,and god bless you!!
Gabi, my condolences to you and your family on the passing of your Grand-father. What a long and seemingly fulfilling life he had! I know you will miss him, but he is always with you. 🙏🏽
Loss does teach us to take a look at our lives, and figure out how we want to live and be remembered. Tomorrow is never promised to us so yes, live your life to the fullest with no regret! ❤
My true condolences gor your loss. You are a lucky man to have this legacy !!

Truly amazing video Gabi, thank you for sharing, your Grampa is looking down, smiling and super proud of you x
Your grandpa seems like an amazing guy. What a blessing to make it to 100! Amazing message brother 😎💪❤️
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you Chris. I still remember your birthday wishes to him when I was in Vietnam
So sorry to hear about the loss of your grandfather. A really good vlog, look forward to your upcoming Laos videos as Laos really is spectacular. It never really interested me until I had seen Paddy Doyle's Laos series where I really got to see how beautiful it really is. Keep up the work and some.great drone footage you have 👏
I have been watching you daily for the last few days, but never commented, I enjoyed and liked your all videos so far I saw, Ik you are cool, amazing, and kind, and I'm sorry to hear about your loss, RIP to your grandpa. Thanks for sharing his lessons taught you, would like you to hear your own lessons you learn from life, someday, big success for you I pray and always stay happy. Life is good if we take it well.
I just started watching your videos yesterday. You have an incredible presence on camera and your calm persona is very relaxing to watch. Your video style reminds me of Mickey Stotch who also vlogs in Thailand; Great video coupled with meaningful dialog and heart moving music. I look forward to watching your library on SE Asia. Starting in 2005, I traveled to Thailand for 14 years and worked with refugees, orphans and ethnic minority HIlltribes in the northern Thai mountains so I’m very partial to SE Asia. I’ve experienced Loas and Vietnam during these trips and can’t wait to return now that the world has reopened. My sincere condolences to you in the passing of your grandfather. I never knew the joy of having a grandfather as both passed before I was born but being a grandfather now gives me a glimpse of what it would have been like. God bless you as you continue to discover and enjoy His majestic creation.
Thank you so much Williams 🙏🏻☺️
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your grandpa must be such a kind person, I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It might seem like a small gesture to you, but it can be incredibly comforting to someone that has lost their grandfather. Hugs from Canada.
I still live in America for 64 years. I was raised in California till I was 17 then I moved to Hawaii .I got to live in Italy for 2 years in the 1980s.I love tropical fruit so I have a farm.I feel much of American is a young bully country. We have many freedoms . I love the freedom you have traveling.
Your respect and love for your Grandpa and the lessons you learnt from him show what is truly worth doing in life. Being a good person. He lived to 100 which is amazing. Good people who don't harm others or themselves is the scenery of our lives that it more beautiful and important than anything else. The goodness that exists in beings is the most beautiful thing in the whole world and you captured both the natural beauty of Laos and paid tribute to the natural beauty of goodness in your grandfather. Thanks for the video.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Gabi. It sounds like your grandfather lived a very full life and I’m sure he was proud of you. Thank you for your beautiful video!
Ciao caro , una preghiera e un dolce pensiero per il tuo nonno.
Regarding the death of your grandfather, I had many spiritual experiences over the last 10 years. Its been a really interesting journey for me in this area of my life. I have had many higher level experiences and developed an ability to sense energy and had contacts with other levels of consciousness. What I learned is that we are all part of a universal collective, although we are also all unique. When we incarnate into different realities it is to have different types of experiences and learn and evolve as universal beings. So with this knowledge I know that your grandfathers consciousness has moved back into its natural state of existing as pure energy, pure consciousness in a different dimension. You will see him again as we all see our friends and family when we exit here. I know what I am telling you is correct since I had many interactions with the spirits of people who were stuck here after leaving their bodies. Most of them didn't realize they were dead actually but I was able to explain to them what happened and help them transition over. Its all just the natural cycle of things but not well understood by most on this planet. Many people have been raised with many belief systems. Its only when we experience things for ourselves that we learn the truth of it. Life is everywhere in the universe, all nature is connected, we are all connected, most of us just forgot who we were. In any case understanding how it works can really help with loss. I can only share my own experiences to explain these things. I am not here to preach to anyone or tell them what to think but this is what I have discovered as part of the journey I am on. Your channel is a lot of fun and you have attracted a very spiritual following. Keep up the good work !!!
My condolences on the death of your grandfather Gaby. Thank you for sharing his life story and what he passed on, to you . I share your pain
Gabi, thanks for sharing some of your memoirs with us. Such is life; there is a bit of good and there is a bit of bad. But we have to make a balance between the two.
Anyway, everything you produce is appealing to us and full of elements of suspense to make us follow each episode through.
Sorry to hear about your grandpa, who was your inspirational mentor.🌹❤️
I will weting your video. You will come 2nd time India please visit Assam one time ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳
Hey Gabi man! First of all my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Your late grandfather was an absolute gem of a human. I could easily say that for sure you've made him extremely proud. He thought you well and inprint these various quantities in your good self.
Secondly, again, Laos looks very interesting and wonderful place to visit! Your drone footage....left me speechless bro. Keep up the good work please!
Looking forward to the next vid.
On a personal note, my both grandpa's passed away when I was very young (due to injuries succumbed during 2nd ww). I was 4yrs old, could hardly remember them. However you got the chance to receive your late Grandpa timeless wisdom. Cherish and share because Sharing is Caring. 1 ❤️ from North Germany bro
Thank you for your kind words and experience 🙏🏻✨
@@ridewithgabi you're most welcome! Enjoy your day and good luck in Thai embassy 👌
My husband and I are Sorry for the loss of your family members. I can’t imagine the pain and emotions. My mom passed 7 years ago and it was
hard for me and I miss her every day.
Stay strong and god bless! 🙏
Very nice philosophic video. We incarnate into this harsh world so we can experience both our divine nature and the animal instincts which are often in opposition to each other. You can only know what's warm if you have experienced cold. You can only truly experience the unconditional love that God is when you have experienced the opposite of it - conditional love, fear, hate. Create, keep living your best live. Happy for your grandpa to have returned to our spiritual home. Life truly starts when we leave this harsh plane - or we choose to come back for more experience. Ride safely, best regards from Germany, married with a Thai woman.
Sorry about your grandfather. They're always in our hearts.
On the other hand, thank you for so many loving adventures.
Sorry to hear of your loss Gabi, beautiful video🙏
Gabi what a absolutely beautiful,spiritual place to find yourself in at this time. My deepest sympathies for the passing of your Grandpa. 💔 His wisdom and character is definitely a part of you. My Ma always wanted us to see the beautiful world and your Grandpa I’m sure was proud of all your accomplishments and the sincerity and joy you bring to so many sharing your journey. Blessings to you and your loved one’s. ❤
Great video and thanks for sharing. Sorry for your loss but this video shows life has to go on!!
your videos are amazing.. Sorry for the loss of your Grand father... May his soul attain Moksha.....
Gabi I'm glad you and your drone have finally come to an understanding. No more hiding in northern Thai bushes. Great aerial footage of the road to Vang Vieng! Did I detect a smile when you boldly stated the drone has sensors to avoid hot air balloon collisions. I took the mini bus from Luong probang to Vang Vieng over a decade ago. They had a fifle strapped to the back door of the vehicle. Wild times. Vang Vieng was magical back then. Your grandfather did well to live to 100. If his quality of life wasn't the best near the end then death can actually be a release. Harder in a way for relos like you to cope with.
Hi Cabi So sorry for the loss of your amazing grandfather my condolences it was a touching video bro thank you for sharing the 4 lessons/stories of your grandfather Stay Strong and keep life Simple bro take care!

Cheers
What a touching video. So sorry about your grandfather. He lived to 100 , what a full life he had with so many lessons to teach you. The scenery is just mind blowing in Vang Vieng. I really want to visit Laos now. Did you find it hard to get by with no speaking the language? I know you mentioned it is similar to Thai. I guess the places you visited were touristy. Thanks for this inspiring video.. and it is so true about living your life and sharing your passion.
Condolences for your loss. I struggle dealing with grief but you seem to be managing OK. I guess it helps when you're travelling and keeping yourself busy.
Thanks for the wonderful videos. My wife and daughter just visited luang and van veng. Sorry to hear about your grandfather. Keep posting. Cheers
My condolences Gabi and to your family on the loss of your grandfather.
Great listen about your experience and journey. My friend. Hope to meet you some day as a friendly traveler.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures 😘
I really, really enjoy watching your video, thank so much Gabi, hope you well to continute your jouney.
my condolences i know what your going through pal been there ,
keep your chin up many blessings to your Grandpa
Very deep video.There is something for everyone to think about. Thank you!
My sincere condolences on the loss of your grandfather. anyway, i like ur video & the bike! thats look like pretty challenging road! now i had to change plan going VV , not by bike .:(
So sorry for your loss, he rest in peace 🙏🏼
Gabi, my condolences to you and your family.
Gabi,you are a wonderful human been,I Enjoy very much wathing your videos, thank you very much
Thanks for sharing. I had the same life experience the last 12 months. Good to know others also have same thoughts. KEEP IT UP!
Good natural surroundings.
So sorry to hear about your grandpapa.. Treasure the memories. We are always remained that life is so short. Thank you for sharing something so private about your life. It makes me feel it is okay to have those similar thoughts and to feel vulnerable. It must be a bit difficult to be away from family during this time. I am assuming this was your mother's father, you might want to call your mom a bit more often to check on her. Your grandpa was the typical Italian, very creative. The architecture of Italy is so beautiful. I hope they save some of his paintings for you. He left you a great legacy on how to live your life to the fullest.
I just watched a video of an Indian gentleman that was on the doomed plane that crashed in Nepal. He was livestreaming from the plane a few minutes before the crash. He was even smiling at the time and someone translated what he said to his friends, where he said to them, that it is a lot of fun as he was enjoying the plane ride. Flying on a plane is a real luxury for a lot of people around the world. He and his friends never thought they were going to die. But in a few minutes he was gone, he perished with all those poor souls. Yes, your life can end in a moment and it is all over, no do overs. And your Grandpa was right, life is so tough because we have to see so many of our loved ones die before us. I bet if we were told before we were born that in that life we are going to experience so much heartache and death, I am sure many will not want to come into this world. And what is sad, that in spite of all that, people spend their time being ugly to other people over silly things. You made the right decision Gabe, life is not about getting to the destination but about the journey. Take care my friend.
this such one heart warming video . thank you for sharing your own reflection about life. sincere condolences to you and may you find comfort to the Lord
I’m sorry for your loss Gabi. Thanks for being so open and honest. TH-cam can sometimes be a little superficial but I think your subscribers really appreciate that you keep it real.
Hey Gabi,
Your videos are so good, spiritual day to day life with jaw dropping scenery, and plenty chaos in the town😄.
I've visited many of the places you travel.
you take us.
Your grandfather sounded like an amazing man🙏, and gifted you very wise advice you obviously listened to.
100 years, wow I feel like a kid hearing that .and I'm 68😅
The
That llittle mini 3 pro is wonderful device to take on your travels, I have one myself...with an added screen sunshade/screen protector😉
Thank you for the wonderful videos, you strike just the right balance.
🙏
P.s Meet you for a coffee next time your in Chiang Mai my friend.
sorry about what happened, You may be disappointed with some things, but you have some things fulfilled. I hope you enjoy it. My country is a small country but people are always welcoming. We don't speak English as much as we should but we are always happy to communicate something with you ,Gabi.
😘My sincere condolences on the the loss of your grandfather🙏🏻🌹🌿🇮🇸🍀
🤗Wow, Very beautiful Natural Laos😍
Becareful driving on the Snake and Dirt road🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
