You should contact one of the people in the CIA/FBI and do a geo guesser tournament against them. (Preferably retired, went to school for it and didn't get in, or dropped out because they might not do it if they're still active)
that would be sick. I actually think he underestimates his skill as someone who doesn't do it for work but rather does it for fun
I think he underestimate himself. Sure CIA/FBI have people that can achieve the same or even better results in figuring out locations from a picture with all their training and access to information. But they will most likely lose in speed with which they can do it compare to professional geoguesser players.
Rainbolt would annihilate any of them. The truth is Geoguessr is a very specific skill that must be practiced. Nobody in the CIA/FBI has that skill, because it isn’t in the job description. They are good with detective work, so maybe they could do pretty good if they were allowed to move but I don’t think they’d be anywhere close to pro level. I think people misunderstand what the CIA/FBI/NSA do 😂 They focus most of their energy domestically so pinpointing places around the world wouldn’t work out too well. Foreign intelligence is more refined to people and groups, not so much geography.
It’s funny he mentioned he’s been hit up from bounty hunters, because actually that would be one of the closest things to Geoguessr, they constantly use social media posts to track down their suspect. But even that is usually a local thing.
Point is, Geoguessr is a unique skill. Nobody is pro level good unless they’ve played for a meaningful amount of time.
@@LightsTeamEuphoriaexactly lmao idk why they expect a CIA agent to be sk great at geoguessr
@@LightsTeamEuphoria they could level the playing field in some ways, do some Q&A about what it's like doing it as a job, or other things. I think it would be really cool to see a CIA/FBI video.
I just got the "let's talk" notification from Rainbolt and thought he was gonna dump me :(
Only dox, never dump
Hello Rainbolt, in case you read this I just wanted to say you were probably the last straw that inspired me to travel abroad by myself. I'm just a broke student from Southern Europe so I can't fund it like a trip as you do, so instead I took a Work&Travel gig over to the US. Pretty excited to have a feel of the independent life.
I’ve been on 2 W&T trips, years ago actually - and still reminisce of that time! Probably the happiest and most carefree I’ve ever been, it feels like another small life to live. Especially if you make friends there. Wishing you a great time!
@@ananastea what is W&T how does that work?
@@pelletrouge3032 it’s basically a program to get a seasonal job in one of the tourist places in the US - like a beach, a lake, a hiking spot. it usually is in a small town with not enough locals to satisfy the demand for jobs during the summer, so they employ students overseas - as waiters, housekeepers, baristas, to run and hand out recreational equipment etc. and then you get a month to travel. quite fun
@@ananastea cool
I also want to do this but im from a middle class asian country so that means i'm barred from entering a lot of countries because i dont have money.

Bless you! ❤
rainbolt seems like a great guy just doing what he wants to. love how humble he is here

@@EEEEEEEE agreed
Dunno bro he might track us down
all these answers were very respectable, definitely agree with that last one, when I was in France I was like "omg the big French bollard, French pole" 😂
I can't believe they made france from geoguessr a real place
you're the person from the video Pog

@@EEEEEEEE E
That was the most respectful Q&A I think I’ve ever watched. That says a lot about this community and yourself ❤🙋🏼♀️🇨🇦
E
Need to do one of these myself some time! This was a great watch, you’re very sincere and I share a lot of your thoughts. Can’t think of a better person than you to have made it to this point :) thanks for all you do!
I'd watch a Jake Lyons Q&A js :)

Honestly, Rainbolt seems like one of those “well known” people that I actually wouldn’t mind meeting. Seems really down to earth, honest, and appears to really care about his community. Yet, he also knows when to cut his losses. Super cool dude.
Especially as someone who's very introverted I have deep respect for everyone having the courage to even just put themselfes out there. But kinda opening up like that is even more admireable and I really like your mindset. I love how you use the opportunity to travel as much as possible and how much you enjoy it, because it's such a beautiful thing and I hope that I'll have that opportunity soon again too because the world is too beautiful to not be seen and appreachiated :)
Same as you, quit my job to chase a passion and never looked back. Even if it is sometimes scary to give up security, for me, there is no possible price that could match having freedom and being self-employed doing something you love. Major props man
Gengar bro
What do you do now?
@@bbbastii8048 day trading but not at the point yet where I’m making enough money to be secure so it’s still at the scary stage
@@jackdeaves1428 gl man
@@Justpassingby204 thanks man
this was very interesting! and inspiring. what you said about complacency hit me hard. i also dropped out of the uni as it wasn’t interesting and no regrets, am generally ok with making risky choices that feel right. but i find myself currently stuck at the job i’m good at, it pays well, allows me to work from anywhere - but it’s so incredibly repetitive.. and i just grew to tolerate it. something to think about. it’s nice and refreshing to see someone happy and genuinely enjoying what they do!
You’re such a great dude, Trevor. I aspire to live my life with the same values and freedoms you do. Thanks for being someone to look up to.
i aspire to do what you do when i’m a bit older. i know life will probably get in the way but i’ve always wanted to travel the world and experience all these different cultures. coming from a family that hasn’t been able to travel a lot, watching your experience traveling has been truly amazing to me
What a down to earth and self aware dude. You are living the dream. I wish you continued success!
Your philosophy is admirable man, you are genuinely really humble, I just love the stoicism and the way you praise others. I literally found you today and had never seen geoguessr before but I feel like I'd follow you regardless of the topic! Keep it up ✨🌱
yo this is really inspirational
hoping you have fun for the rest of your travels
king
I travelled most of Europe before playing geoguessr and really never thought of everything that's different. Nowadays, I really appreciate just being in other country and I don't remember last time I was happier than when I met the blue French sticker on vacation. And even though I wasn't quite expecting to be taking photos with bollards instead of mountains when I go skiing in Austria, I still fear I will once wake up in the world where the video of you clicking country in ten seconds never showed to me and where I don't know geoguessr. Thanks for that and all the things you do for the community, love geoguessr!
Such an admirable, humble, and down to earth guy!
I really like this type of Q&A video!
My question is what other passions do you enjoy learning about as much as geography?
I gotta say that I just watch your vids for your personality… you just seem so genuine. I don’t watch any other travel related channels or geo guesser videos at all! It’s so much fun to watch you explore the world, so thanks for sharing!
Do you speak any other languages/have you travelled internationally before you started this trip?
I also enjoy travelling alone.
But travelling with friends can sometimes create better memories.
This was my favorite video of yours. Diverse talking and personal!
I think that traveling helps a lot with geoguessr. If i didnt travel Id be way worse for way longer, but because I did travel and see quite a lot of places I know that for example certain bus stop signs are german or how eastern european signs look. For me, it also helps a lot for having a feel for where I am, tho it often doesnt go well
Question: While this was obviously not your goal, do you think traveling around the world will help with Geoguessr? I can't imagine it would be more useful than just studying Google Maps, but I figure it might help you get a bit of that intuitive sense for places that natives have for their country.
the level of attraction i have for this man is next level and watching this Q&A has amplified it. you seem like a great guy, Trevor
Independent travel is the best, I recommend everyone with the means do it and even if you don’t have the means, you can get creative and find a way
you should try moving to denmark in the summer!! it is so beautiful and warm. the country is amazing, and welcome.
This dude is super wholesome ❤
You are winning life. I always see people say you should grind through your 20s to set yourself up for later and it's just like... I don't wanna waste my 20s being miserable though. But making crazy money at 20 is a good cheat code for that I guess 😭
Truly unique views, totally with you with the decisions, life is too short. Awesome, keep living!
Love to see some Geoguessr gameplay in the back while listening to a nice QnA. Keep it up
"I had people ask me all the time, like, 'do you regret quitting?' No, because I'm much happier, and I'm doing things for myself that fulfils my inner child now. I will take this lifestyle now versus the old one I had any day of the week, because this is way more aligned with who I am and my values."
Words to live by.
I know you are pretty much free to travel anywhere but is there a "bucket list" place that you have? Possibly extreme due to weather, isolation, sparsely population or dangerous? If not what was or is someplace that you've always been excited to visit, even since you were young. Examples could be world wonders like the pyramids, the Moai, Machu Picchu...
(You explained anxiety perfectly fine. It has no rhyme or reason as far as what bothers you and why. Big issues and life changes can be a breeze but the most mundane task can be overwhelming) Great q&a. :)
The last one is so true. I don't play that much and therefore don't know a lot of metas but since I know this game I subconciously notice every number plate around me and get so hyped when I see a different one from the Netherlands, UK or Ukraine for example.
You talked about your bucket list, and I also remember you talking about the best looking places one interview (you were referring to a place in Laos I think). I would really like to know what landscape you discovered while playing geoguessr where you would like to go irl
i’m in the stage now where i need to decide whether i start university in september or travel, i’m struggling enough choosing a city to move to because i want to see more than i have experienced already. your travel inspires me so much and i’m hoping to travel south east asia within the next year!
What countries do you plan to go next?
I can recommend staying a month in Taipei, it's a great city with lots to do, and many day trips around the city as well.
Skip the Summer months (late May - early September) though, because it will be way too hot & humid. April will be perfect.
Do you see yourself settling down and starting a family? What are your goals beyond the immediate future
you should combine this type of video with a vlog, would be cool to see you out in thailand and also answering questions
I'd love to see you interview some of the other plyers. As someone who watches the YT content but isn't in the discord or have time to play very much it would be cool to get the back story on some of the other players in the game. From the streams I can see there are some pretty cool personalities (Debre, Pando, Ziggi, ZipZap, Stique) and it would be cool to get to hear their story.
Totally get what you're saying about social anxiety but traveling alone! I relied on the driver I hired a lot during my three weeks in Madagascar though - not being able to speak the language intensifies the anxiety for me
Great skills, awesome content and most important an inspiring, positive personality :)
So glad to have you as the ambassador of this little nerdy universe. Have a great day!
Often in GeoGuessr you can guess the country and the place in the country where a photo was taken in just 0.1 seconds and on top of that the image is altered in a way that makes it difficult, like sometimes it is black and white, sometimes the image is blurred, etc. This is really impressive and many assume that the videos where this happens are fake, so I wanted to ask: Do you have a natural ability to recognise patterns in things and quickly too? Is what makes you guess the country right just by looking at an image for 0.1 seconds just training? I, for example, barely have time to reason out the colours of the image in those situations...
12:58 oh my god i honestly could not agree more! i kept on screaming behind my screen "OMG SO BASED I LOVE YOU RAINBOLT" lmao. i've always somewhat had the passion to travel for a while now, but after i found out about your channel and started following you, i've never felt more inspired :) I'm still a minor but when I do grow up, I hope to travel the world just like you :)
Came for Geoguessr content, stayed for the wholesomeness. Keep doing what you love and come visit Czechia someday!
thoughtful and intelligent answers. Love it.
Love this format!
Also bonus question, ever been to Poland? And what are the main factors that make you feel like geoguessr has put you in that country?
very relax and entertaining video, these kind of videos are great to step off and make something different, hopefully you want to keep making more like these
If you have a chance, please come to Finland! You mentioned Norway as a country you could move to, but if you do, the rest of the Nordic countries are so close that you could fly there in 1-2 hours as a short trip if you want to. I would love to hear what your impression is of Finland :)
PS. It's pretty warm here in the summer, despite common misconceptions ;D
How do you prep for the culture of where you travel? Are you actively trying to avoid being an 'obnoxious tourist' or do you just try to be chill?
with all the world visiting and world viewing you do regularly, are you interested in world history? like a why this place exists, or how did this place come to be, what physical, political, cultural factors led to a city/state being founded?
What a nice video. Not your normie FAQ but actually quite interesting questions and great answers.
It’s so satisfying to know that he experiences and enjoys Geoguesser meta IRL
I love your content rainbolt
A question that I love: What is the best advice you've ever received?
My good friend just quit their salaryman job to travel and pursue passive income opportunities and I'd love to relay it 🙏
what is your life like in non english-speaking countries? how much of a language do you learn before traveling somewhere?
12:51 GeoGuessr has rewired my brain so much that whenever I travel somewhere new I get excited about seeing meta irl. I get legitimately excited when I see bollards and road signs that, up until that point, I've only ever seen in a game. 😁
I've been moving about and doing it alone for the last 17 years. It's just comfy.
Do you recommend learning the crap out of individual countries then moving on to another one, or just playing around the world until it all starts to click? Or is it just up to individual learning style
I’ve been playing no moving for a few weeks since you recommended and it’s helped tremendously
How do you feel changing the country where you live after just one month there? Is difficult not being able to make a life in the country where you live because you know you won't be able to keep it?
I love your videos - any tips on a structured path on getting better at the game?
I absolutely LOVE Yes Theory! One of my favorite channels of all time.
Is there a game style that you’ve created in your mind that you think would be cool to see in GeoGuessr?
I definitely would love a part 2!
Thanks for answering my question! I feel honored
Bolt I love you even more now , such respect my guy in 32 and I feel I'd vibe so hard with someone like you. I don't play geo but it is fun
Thats really cool that you're living in a different country every month. I and a couple of my colleagues enjoy traveling alone too so that we can do pretty much anything we want without compromising (plus to get more out of the culture of the places we're visiting).
I also get asked why a lot when I do go solo. I know traveling with a friend or family member would obviously be safer but it is kind of annoying how a lot of people seem to treat solo travel like an alien concept. My motto is still: as long as you do your research of the place you're visiting and be careful where you go and what you do, why not?
You should make a video just talking about countries you'd like to visit and why, would definitely watch
Would you rather a) lose your ability to smell, or b) once a year, at a random time, be teleported inside the Bass Pro Shops pyramid

you're friggin awesome rainbolt

Yoo I live right by UCCS that’s sick u went there! Love the videos man keep up the good work
Have you ever personally seen a Google Maps car? Kind of random but just came to my head! Great video as always
🤔 good question! Who knows, maybe for the mk ultra department, but I really don’t know!
Everytime I hear someoneone say "travelling" I really want to do it. I'm still trying to figure out what I have to do to be able to travel wherever and whenever. I'm stuck thinking about how can I earn money to do it while doing something I like.
I love that you've found something you enjoy doing, and were able to do it, that's hard
Honestly when i was first sent videos on you i thought you were cheating, i watched some more and holy crap you're just a genius, trying to learn geoguessr now and ur tips help.
Nice answer to meaning of life!
What a fun, chill video. Love you RAINBOLT.
once you're in a new country do you ever travel from there for shorter periods of time or do you spend the entirety of the month in that country?
such a cool video bro please make another one of these
Henlo guy from TikTok, ever thought of living in Taiwan? Big fan here, loved your videos and energy and glad you’re enjoying what you’re doing. ❤
Since you're traveling so much (you probably already know this) but make sure you have enough pages in your passport that are left blank! Some countries require you to have 2-4 blank pages! Airlines sometimes wont even let you on if you don't meet the requirement.
Hi, hope you're having a good day
