    dude. You are fully living to ur fullest potential, you are doing what you were meant to do. When the rest of the world is surviving and just existing you are alive, you are truly living. You are so inspiring Alex it’s insane. I see so much of myself in you, the difference being that I am the pizza man right now. I am working to be where you are at right now. Thank u Alex for taking that jump because you inspire so much of us to do the same.

    I was about to go to sleep but now I wanna say fuck it, pack my bags and go on an adventure. Great video as always my man, inspiring me to live life to its fullest. I decided to finally backpack Europe after watching your videos. hopefully the first of many adventures I have in life, thank you for helping me take the first step.

    You know I've been really inspired by the youtube new wave of living life to the fullest and documenting it throught these cinematic artpieces everyone is creating. And I always wanted to go out and try myself.
    But it was not until I discovered your way too underrated channel that I decided to actually do it.
    I got myself to work and scratch some money together, bought a new lens for my cam and I have another spare week to do a roadtrip myself.
    Your cinematography, storytelling and adventures are absolutely gorgeous and I only aspire to get close to your quality.
    Thanks a lot!

      Hey man, I’m so glad something was able to resonate with you. We’re all human and we all sometimes need a little push in the direction we want to go in life. Take the first two steps and you’ll realize you can just keep going. Maybe one day our paths will cross my friend. Best of luck to you.

Great inspiration and reminder not to stay on a path that others think of being best for you, but find your own! I wish you all the best on that road, have fun, meet great new friends, and may luck be always on your side! 🍀 Thank you for sharing those moments! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
