William, I enjoy all of your videos. Be yourself. I also wanted to say that I love your message about chasing your dreams, quitting that shitty job, and trying new things. I'm 51 and I travel full time too. I've been living my dream for eight years now, but it took me until I was in my 40's to break away from societal norms and expectations, say FTW and what everybody might think, and just do what I wanted to do. Eight years ago, I sold everything after a horrific weekend of betrayal and death. It took tragedy to motivate me. I'm glad to see that it doesn't have to be that way for others. That being said, I have no regrets and I have never felt more free and been as happy as I am right now --typing this comment in a little Airbnb in the hills of Puerto Vallarta. Keep doing what you love and if you need a break or feel burnout, take care of yourself. I periodically visit my brother in the US for a month or so about once a year, sometimes twice a year, and I decompress, eat my favorite foods, and just chill out with no flights to catch, no hotels to book, no languages to learn. Side note, I'd love to hear about all your shitty jobs and the not so shitty ones too. Maybe do an "About Me" video? Have a great day my friend!
Thanks for that I appreciate your comment. Glad to hear you went for it and set out on a journey! It has been really great for me also but sometimes it has been hard to be alone I think. Traveling with somebody is a bit easier. Puerto vallarta is great! Enjoy your time there :)
Okay, the green chair pool trick @ 14:52 almost made me dial 911…William, you’re a Swedish dare devil! 😂 Overall, you seem to have a good balance in life…thanks for keeping it real and for making us laugh. No matter the contemplation, you’re helping people to ease their pain (in your own unique way). Just keep “being you.” Btw, Veggie Pad Thai and Fried Rice is two of my favorite dishes in the world…So good! 🍲 And Coca-Cola should sponsor you… 🥤 Enjoy Thailand, my friend! 🇹🇭
We have a similar story. I retired at 42 ten years ago and left the US to Panamá. Now I’m in Eastern Europe. I was just in Puerto Vallarta for two months. ♥
@@juliehartzog5094 That's awesome! Congrats to you. Eastern Europe is on my radar but I'm so in love with all of Mexico it's hard to leave. I've been through about 9 or 10 countries but never made it to Europe in any fashion. I love Thailand but the entry reqs are crazy right now. Have fun!
Im 51 years young and still havent figured out what I want to do, when I grow up. All I know, is that I always try to do whatever I LOVE to do! Keep doing what makes you HAPPY, Will...in the end, thats all that matters!
Dude I also love travelling and I understand how you feel, being even much older than you. The thing is ... travelling and exploring and being completely free is a great part of leading a happy life... but another big part of adding meaning to our lives is through relationship ....friendships, family, and romantic love. The problem with travelling so much is that it makes extremely difficult if not impossible to create meaningful and deep relationships.. which require a lot of time. So you either find a girlfriend or some really good friends who want to do your same travels and explorations, or at some point you really need to settle down.. The good news is that after so much travelling you are very likely to choose a very good place ( or even a couple of them ..) to settle down :P
@@rachelchurchward7314 yes, sure, but that is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that at some point you inevitably will want to settle down. Earlier if you are travelling alone. If you are traveling with your soulmate maybe much later, but then you still get to a point where you need some stability for raising children, or when you are so old that you are physically not able to move around so much.
Yeah I have realized that as well. Life can be enjoyed alone but if we have some good friends it is much more fun. When you travel, you meet some people but you always go your separate ways. They go back home. I've met some fun people while traveling but you always end up in different places
Well said. I've been a traveler all my life... I managed to have a wife and three kids... That ended when I was 55 years old. Now at 70 things are getting lonely. It's tough to socialize if there are no people! 🤪🤪🤪. At 70 it's tough to socialize with 20 year old travelers... I could get away with it up until I was about 60 😎✌️. Soooooo... What your talking about is being grounded. I don't have an anchor. I have no reason to stay in one place. The wandering must stop... So I've decided to look for my ❤️ anchor. I bounce between Thailand and Mexico... so I shouldn't have too much trouble finding my ❤️. What could go wrong?😎🤔🤣🤣🤣
@@onehappykamper , well at least you can look back and , having had a wife and 3 kids, you can reassure yourself about the fact that you did not miss our on family and children... Not many people manage to lead an interesting life and have a family at the same time.....And what comes after that is all bonus... I also love Thailand and Mexico... with Brazil at a close second place!
I was planning a trip to the Maldives and stumbled across your videos, now I watch every single one of your videos. Be aware people are subscribing to see you William, no matter what you get up to people just want to watch your content. You are an incredible human being. if you ever come to Scotland, I will show you some cool places!
Hey William! What a gorgeous and quiet place (at the moment)!! Eat this time up while you can...I know you are trying to do just that. Time flies and before you know it, you're in your late 50's. What a drag. So live it UP!!!!!
haha yeah that is true. I'm happy I did all this traveling now and went to all places I wanted to see but I don't know what's next. I saw all countries I wanted to se and It's like I did a running race and came to the finish line lol
Not to speak for everyone else but I think the prime driver for people tuning in and watching your videos is your authenticity. It takes bravery to got out in the world and find that thing that inspires you especially when you have no clue what it might be. Keep searching any it’s very likely everyone will keep watching!
Real appreciated the skill of filming this vlog , you are the positive funny guy with the great experience , enjoy laid back and cool off(as you siad)..
Pool tricks and bed tricks nice I can see how traveling constantly could eventually become like having a job but the beautiful places you get to experience most of us will never see so thanks for sharing them
You're almost at 80k subs William! Been watching since 33K. Good job! This is your calling and I believe you're greatly inspiring many young people, and some our age too. We're in our early 60's, have sold everything and moved to Mexico. Currently traveling the entire country. You're right, time does go a lot more slowly. We feel we should be 70, HAHA! Keep living your passion, stay silly, (and avoid that bad-ass, Sven)...😜❤
“Don’t chase the content but be the content.” ...Roman Atwood. You just being you and sharing your view of life is the compelling content of your videos. You are an amazing person with a unique view of the world and are willing to share it. Thanks! Keep creating!
One of the most interesting things for us northerners when we're in the tropics is to go walking in the rain (shirtless as wet shirts are uncomfortable and binding) and NOT feeling chilled. It gives you a freedom we have never experienced before and is quite mind blowing. Also swimming in the rain is interesting as well.
I've been traveling and living abroad since 2013 and can totally relate what you're talking about. As somebody who loves to travel and is not very good at settling down, but realizes the importance of community and relationships, I've grown to realize that having several hubs around the world where you can spend a bit more time developing a community is key. With this setup, I'm able to continue traveling as actively as I'd like, but then when I feel the need to be settled in a location, I can always go back to a "hub". It does take a bit more time in one location to create these hubs, but longer term it's the way to go and you can have the best of both worlds. Just my two cents. Love your videos William, keep up the good work brother! Cheers!
@@williamtaudien I've got hubs in Bali Indonesia, Rio de Janeiro, and Texas. By the way, always good to see a fellow Texas State University graduate traveling the world. :). Always looking to try and set up more hubs that become a place of familiarity with familiar faces. I've spent a lot of time in Thailand as well, and although I don't have much of a community there, I know Chaing Mai fairly well and it's easy to just plug into whenever I go back there. Keep up the adventure brother!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ William, it may come as a surprise to you but you're a nice guy and that's the reason people like to watch your videos, even if you don't show something of interest. William, you won't believe this but there are many people that don't have the creativity or the "Je Ne Sais Quoi" personality like yours, that is entertaining to us. Looking forward to your next video, stay safe & healthy... Abrazos
I publicly quit the UK BBC The Apprentice program in front of 8million viewers in week 4, 2016 - because I realised it wasn’t for me. We have one life - with an “end date” that could come anytime - so time is the most precious thing we have and it’s ticking away regardless... might as well be true to ourselves during those previous seconds. I like your content - very relaxing, authentic and a bit mad & funny. Thank you
Thanks William! And nice pool tricks in the shallow pool! Reflection is normal and necessary at times. Your videos are so well edited and produced. Your skills are continuing to improve. It will come if you continue and enjoy what you’re doing
OMG same lol. After partying pretty hard for most of my life, at 39 I was burnt out and enjoy good food and company and friends instead. My best friend is travelling around South America solo right now and she said she feels too old for the hostels as they are partying and noisy and she feels grumpy and old lol
I love ALL your videos! Your photography is beautiful. I can live vicariously thru you until I can achieve more freedom to explore the globe. Nice seeing your channel grow and anything William works for me
Love your videos. Thank you for taking me with you my friend 💕. Everything you do becomes hum- drum. Work. Travel...playing. I do encourage you too keep encouraging us to travel..prices too! And how to work fitness into of your...our life. I would love to have coffee on the balcony with you!!! I also have lived...my life. And nothing has been dull...if you love your job , you never work a day in your life! Change is coming....thats life..please dont stop!💓💝
Thanks yes I enjoy making videos but I went to all places I wanted to see in the world so I'm a bit lost now and if I stop traveling I wouldn't know what to do
Hey, Hey, Hey William. Great video ‘interlude’, I’m here for you my friend. Doesn’t matter if you think your videos are ‘good or bad’, you your personality and your world view are what really matters. Chill and Take it easy for a while! I’m 60 btw!
To me traveling is constant stimulation and excitement. It basically increases my 'baseline' for what happiness is. After every long trip I take, I come home and feel quite depressed for a while unless I really pace myself and make time and find ways for feeling productive
William, although this video may not have been the one you planned, I will say this is my favorite video you've done! I also love to travel, but feel stuck in a shitty job, and hearing your words of encouragement helps me! Keep doing what makes you happy, whatever that may be ❤️
Awesome Pooool Tricks ! Hey just chilling is perfect. You don’t have to go to the bars. I enjoy watching your videos for just everyday things. Walking down the street and what everything looks like. People, Scenery and beaches ! Ha ha ! I also like your outlook on life most of all. You have a great deal of wisdom for someone so young.
the island ia always a bit quiet during the day as most peopel are out diving, also it is still recovering from lack of tourists during the last 2 years
Please never say that you feeling old, because its not true. You are so young and good looking man full with energy my friend 👍I'm 53 and I can't say that I feeling old because I don't...think positivity and everything will be okay. Love the video 👍well done and keep going 👏😁Thanks for sharing and take care 😁✌
You're actually playing with a bidet! Lol.. you are hilarious! I love your videos you're born to Entertain! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on life, positivity throughout a lot of the videos. Your body is a machine, You are Amazing William! Stay safe & have a wonderful time on your travels!!.✌️😀👍🎉🌻🌊🌺💞
I love your videos, your personality and your message to follow your dreams, but I understand that you also need a break from that. Spending some time with the people that you love will recharge you again....God bless you William :)
A little bit of Maria in your life A little bit of Maria by your side A little bit of Maria is all you need A little bit of Maria is what You see A little bit of Maria in the sun A little bit of Maria all night You need Maria in your life 😝 1 crazy 😜 and 1 calm 😆. We love your attitude 🥰 you are awesome! Hug 🤗. A hug also for Maria
Sometimes we need to vent and relax our brain William. You can't go all out 100% of the time trying to make people happy or wanting every video to do really well. I like that you are authentic and not trying to do the same thing as other people. You have your own style and you are trying to find a way to cope when you explain how you feel for these videos, which is brave. Thanks man, have a good day.
Great video man. Not only for the beautiful setting, but also for sharing your thoughts and philosophies. We’re the same age but I’ve settled into a more traditional family life, but I love seeing your adventures and hearing your perspective on life. I think you’re on the right path and you’ll know when and how to take the next step.
William I am always happy to hear your words of wisdom. It is ok to be tired. Just chill and make videos of your daily interaction with local people I lovely Thailand 🇹🇭 Enjoy 😘
👏 Hello William!👏😁 You're a TH-cam celebrity! It doesn't matter what your video content is...You always find a way to have fun even if you're stuck indoors, Thanks for what you do! We appreciate your videos.
Keep doing what you are doing. Enjoying life and being you. You’re far from boring whatever you do it’s exciting from bed bouncing pool tricks to keep fit 👀 it’s good. Love your videos William.
William, your vids are really sweet, like your attitude. I'm also a traveller but not vlogging, so, I know exactly what you are talking about ...traveller's life🙃😲...just stay uplifted, lots of people live with your vlogs❤️❤️❤️. Love from Greece🇬🇷😘
They are days I don’t feel like doing anything, just to relax in bed. It’s ok to have a day like that. I always enjoy your videos, you always find a way to make it interesting for all of us. 👍
I just came home from 3 weeks of Koh Tao. The island, the bars, the restaurants, the beaches etc. Is nice. But I also like to connect with people which makes it a completely different experience. Nuchy at metal sheet bar in Chalok, opposite Aukotan supermarket is one of my regular destinations. She has the biggest smile on the island. Best food from P.Yok from Treehouse. Neal and P.Yok are doing a fantastic job at the new Treehouse (resort). P.Noi at AWOL2 on the beach between Mae haad and sairee (3 minutes walk from the peer). She was the boss of the legendary WTF bar. Cappuccino at Koppee in Chalok and Big Bite at Chalok are nice places. Hang out with the locals with beach volleyball at Chill bar in Chalok every Tuesday afternoon.
Being a bit bored from time to time creates space for creativity. Even constant travel can become boring. No matter what path a person chooses there are trade offs in life. I hope that you keep a journal so you can look back on all the places that you have been and recall what is unique about each of those places. Just know you are on the right path. It’s called living. Peace to you William. Be happy.♥️
I have recently started following you. Love following you around on your travels. Do you have a video out on how you make money to afford all the travel?
Any William video is a good video. I travel fulltime too, so I always enjoy seeing what you're up too. Yes, definitely get going sharing your fitness secrets! I need it! Hello from Quepos, Costa Rica!
Your videos are far from being boring--they are amazing!!!----they have a relaxed way about them, they aren't all hyped up--love seeing the maps of where you are--those are really instructive and informative. You have some wonderful photography that you share and the accompanying music is beautiful. I haven't seen many other peoples' videos this well done. I like it that you share your thoughts, and concerns. I don't blame you that you want to travel--just be careful!!--but don't miss out on having a family and the more permanent things in life that can bring great joy!!
Between the past and the future, the present translates into providing us with happy moments. You make our days and you hold countless talents! A fabulous sense of humour, exceptional bodywork and one day when you get married and have two or three children, you will surely be the idol of the family because our idol is already there! I've been to Thailand 11 times but never to Koh Tao... Greetings from Lisbon! 👍
William, I feel like you were happiest when you were with some new friends in the Maldives. Being around some like minded travelers is probably the answer as opposed to hanging out alone as you did in India and now Thailand. Ever considered joining the Peace Corps or some similar organization and working with kids and people that could use a helping hand in an interesting place like Africa? You could continue to document your daily adventures with a job like that!
Yes because the people I met there were my age and good people. You dont come across people like that a lot of times. It takes time to meet people you want to hang out with. And quite hard when you stay in a place just for a week
You are very wise to live the life that you always wanted to live. So many of us conform to the usual 9 to 5 job and get stuck and become complacent and comfortable and we don't step out of that comfort zone, as miserable as we may be, and before you know it, the years creep up on you and one thing about this life is that the most precious thing we posses is time and it goes by so quick!! In retrospect I wish i had done so many things differently. Eventually you will be with friends and even a girlfriend to enjoy your travels with. In the meantime continue making these great videos!
I've watched your video on and off for a few years now. I to am a traveler and we have been to a lot of the same places , when you were in Playa de Carmen we were in Cozumel spent best part of a year there. Now your in Koh Tao perhaps my favourite island. Traveling is not so easy now since covid you need a travel parter maybe? I'm still exploring trying to find the best place that ticks the most boxes. Presently doing Turkey.
Wow. I only had one real job in my life with the fire department which I just retired from. Maybe being stuck to one thing is the reason why I am so interested in new adventures. Sometimes those new adventures are bad choices but I think I kind of understand now.. Great videos. More than exploring the world. Lot of thinking. Keep em coming.
You don't need to work a regular job to settle down. You have your channel.. and the channel is like a job. The only thing is that you can't build things while traveling. You could have a house near the beach, a girlfriend, and people would still watch your channel. Too bad that you never tried to fix your US status because others did that too. Maria and you in the US, well, that would be so lovely. Or Mexico for example, you seemed to be more happy over there. But it's you life and I can tell you are thinking about all those things as well. I traveled the world too, grew up in Germany and became an US citizen at the age of 34. I am glad I found a place I love, a place in California, with beaches, palm trees, and everything I need. Now I don't need to travel that much anymore. All the best William.
William all of your videos are awesome ! No matter what the content is or even if you don’t do anything! You’re the content, your personal insight to life and your passion for life. I love that you’re an encourager! We truly appreciate you! 🙏🏻🙌👏✈️😇
Wonderful video, William, from beginning to end. I'm in my 60's & haven't been too many places in my lifetime. I enjoy all of your videos. I started watching you when you were in Acapulco, Mexico. ...You seemed really happy 😉 when you were with Maria...just sayin'... 😁🙄 (Hee hee)
We did it backwards. We had kids and grandkids first and then began our travels. We are younger grandparents. Any which way you do it is great. Your videos have inspired us to take the leap and just get out there and travel. Don’t fret! You need a partner to enjoy it with. We loved watching you and Maria! Best wishes😃
Hi William I love watching you. I hate traveling. I hate living out of a suitcase… I just STOPPED traveling and I couldn’t be happier. I live in Beautiful Rincon Puerto Rico where I relax and enjoy life.
A word or two about the butt sprayer: Usually, though not always, there is a small tap at the far end of the hose where it connects to the source pipe. Just turn that lever a bit, one way or the other, to adjust the pressure of the spray if it's not to your liking. But also, consider this: if, as almost all of us have experienced, you are unlucky enough to have a bird poop on your arm, have you been satisfied to simply wipe it "clean" with a tissue, or did you wash your arm with water and maybe even soap? The same thinking should apply to one's butt, I'd imagine. Using water is much, much cleaner than tissue alone. It's been years since I last used only toilet paper. (Too much information, I know.)
hey william i am an old guy that has had the good fortune to travel to many of the same destinations as u have been doing, just wanted to tell u that i enjoy watching u live it up as u do, u are inspirational and entertaining and quite obviously a super young fellow, thank u and will continue following your escapades as long as u are doing your travels, and beyond if u decide to settle and share, all the best
I'm in Turkey talking to this guy from Holland who's travelled the world, he said he works his ass off to save then travels all over the world and occasionally does some part time work in some countries. He said he's loved every minute of it and would never do the digital nomad shit, He said its all stress and not living and most of the time earning no money. It made me think, he has a bloody good point. He's 33 and about to go back to Holland after 2 years of being away
hey bro, I was in Koh tao like a week ago and like you I was there 4 years ago and 10 years ago. Yes its a lot quieter but the main bars are empty now.... everyone goes to fish bowl which isa bit of a walk away. We needed up spending 2 weeks in Koh tao because we just loved it there and did loads of diving, its also where you meet a lot of people.
William! I've had at least 90 jobs at 65 years. I quit them all, to find another, to find newness in this only life I get to have. Your funny ways of jumping into pools, the way you eat, you and I are kindred spirits! I love any video you do. And your personality makes me feel alright about my own, as I resemble your free living attitude, and the way you treat people, with respect from moment one! This is rare, and beautiful. I moved to Mexico three years ago, and will never go back to USA, now a pit. Mexico is so lovely, and so are your videos! Keep on trucking, dude!!! I'll be watching! Come visit us in Jocotepec!
Oh wow many jobs you must know a lot about everything! I did learn a lot from all the jobs but I wasn't truly satisfied. Glad to read your comment and that you moved to Mexico and tried a lot of things! Mexico is great I think I will return soon. Enjoy!
Jenn, I was just in Joco! I spent a month in Ajijic and a day in Joco. Great area. I am in Vallarta now after a few months in Playa del Carmen. I love Mexico so much!
@@TammyTravelsTheWorld wow, how is weather in Vallarta? We never go anywhere but live vicariously thru travel people like you and William. We lived in Ajijic for 7 months, but wanted a local feel. Mexican people here are sweet, kind, religious and so utterly friendly and welcoming. Travel on, amiga!
After sitting in lockdown for 2 years watching your and other TH-camrs videos I decided why don't we do the same and get out of this expensive country. In September 2021 we started vlogging full time and traveling in Mexico and Belize. Still at it now and love life on the road. Hopefully, my channel will grow enough to keep this up until I drop and we can visit a lot of other countries.
Last videos turned out to be so insightful and deep, way better than a ordinary travel vlog where you simply share informations about the places. Keep doing it, please be true, internet is plenty of shallow tourist videos, we don’t need more other. Sure you’ll find your answers 👍🏼 (or maybe not 🤷🏻😁).
thanks. Nobody finds the answers in this life. We dont know why we are on a planet in space and what happens after we die. Maybe after we will find the answers :P
I'm tired of travelling and vlogging as well. Though, my channel is growing so slowly and it's a bit of a drag sometimes. Though, I'm addicted to just going to the next place, to find out if it's better or not. Then you get bored, and go to the next place!
I really enjoy watching your adventures, I especially like how you are "Real" when talking about life as a traveler. Keep recording your future adventures as it will be a great journal for your future kids to watch.
William, I enjoy all of your videos. Be yourself. I also wanted to say that I love your message about chasing your dreams, quitting that shitty job, and trying new things. I'm 51 and I travel full time too. I've been living my dream for eight years now, but it took me until I was in my 40's to break away from societal norms and expectations, say FTW and what everybody might think, and just do what I wanted to do. Eight years ago, I sold everything after a horrific weekend of betrayal and death. It took tragedy to motivate me. I'm glad to see that it doesn't have to be that way for others. That being said, I have no regrets and I have never felt more free and been as happy as I am right now --typing this comment in a little Airbnb in the hills of Puerto Vallarta. Keep doing what you love and if you need a break or feel burnout, take care of yourself. I periodically visit my brother in the US for a month or so about once a year, sometimes twice a year, and I decompress, eat my favorite foods, and just chill out with no flights to catch, no hotels to book, no languages to learn. Side note, I'd love to hear about all your shitty jobs and the not so shitty ones too. Maybe do an "About Me" video? Have a great day my friend!
Thanks for that I appreciate your comment. Glad to hear you went for it and set out on a journey! It has been really great for me also but sometimes it has been hard to be alone I think. Traveling with somebody is a bit easier. Puerto vallarta is great! Enjoy your time there :)
Okay, the green chair pool trick @ 14:52 almost made me dial 911…William, you’re a Swedish dare devil! 😂
Overall, you seem to have a good balance in life…thanks for keeping it real and for making us laugh. No matter the contemplation, you’re helping people to ease their pain (in your own unique way).
Just keep “being you.”
Btw, Veggie Pad Thai and Fried Rice is two of my favorite dishes in the world…So good! 🍲
And Coca-Cola should sponsor you… 🥤
Enjoy Thailand, my friend! 🇹🇭

You're almost at 80k subs William! Been watching since 33K. Good job! This is your calling and I believe you're greatly inspiring many young people, and some our age too. We're in our early 60's, have sold everything and moved to Mexico. Currently traveling the entire country. You're right, time does go a lot more slowly. We feel we should be 70, HAHA! Keep living your passion, stay silly, (and avoid that bad-ass, Sven)...😜❤
Take a rest and recharge your batteries the rest of the world is going through shit....greetings from Toronto
@@nickn146 Hi! We're from Vancouver but Toronto is our favorite Canadian City. College Street, so cool...👍🥰
Maria is the girl for you, go get her and be happy :)....Everything in balance, not too much of the good or bad stuff :)
“Don’t chase the content but be the content.” ...Roman Atwood. You just being you and sharing your view of life is the compelling content of your videos. You are an amazing person with a unique view of the world and are willing to share it. Thanks! Keep creating!
Whenever I need a good laugh I search out your lastest video ...you crack me up...thanks for being you and keeping it real..stay safe blessings
One of the most interesting things for us northerners when we're in the tropics is to go walking in the rain (shirtless as wet shirts are uncomfortable and binding) and NOT feeling chilled. It gives you a freedom we have never experienced before and is quite mind blowing. Also swimming in the rain is interesting as well.
I've been traveling and living abroad since 2013 and can totally relate what you're talking about. As somebody who loves to travel and is not very good at settling down, but realizes the importance of community and relationships, I've grown to realize that having several hubs around the world where you can spend a bit more time developing a community is key. With this setup, I'm able to continue traveling as actively as I'd like, but then when I feel the need to be settled in a location, I can always go back to a "hub". It does take a bit more time in one location to create these hubs, but longer term it's the way to go and you can have the best of both worlds. Just my two cents.
Love your videos William, keep up the good work brother! Cheers!
Yes, you're absolutely right, creating hubs is the key. We need to be able to connect with familiar people and places every once in a while.
That makes perfect sense to me
Yeah you're right about that. I have all my friends in the United states but I can't go there anymore. Maybe time to set up another hub as you say.
@@williamtaudien I've got hubs in Bali Indonesia, Rio de Janeiro, and Texas. By the way, always good to see a fellow Texas State University graduate traveling the world. :). Always looking to try and set up more hubs that become a place of familiarity with familiar faces. I've spent a lot of time in Thailand as well, and although I don't have much of a community there, I know Chaing Mai fairly well and it's easy to just plug into whenever I go back there.
Keep up the adventure brother!
You may be inspiring so many people watching. Stay true to yourself. You are loved 😍
⭐⭐⭐⭐ William, it may come as a surprise to you but you're a nice guy and that's the reason people like to watch your videos, even if you don't show something of interest. William, you won't believe this but there are many people that don't have the creativity or the "Je Ne Sais Quoi" personality like yours, that is entertaining to us. Looking forward to your next video, stay safe & healthy... Abrazos
I publicly quit the UK BBC The Apprentice program in front of 8million viewers in week 4, 2016 - because I realised it wasn’t for me. We have one life - with an “end date” that could come anytime - so time is the most precious thing we have and it’s ticking away regardless... might as well be true to ourselves during those previous seconds. I like your content - very relaxing, authentic and a bit mad & funny. Thank you
Thanks I appreciate that. Oh really that is Big show! Really cool you were part of that
Nothing wrong with this video. You are good at it. Look forward to the next one. Nice to see your subscribers moving up.
Thanks Robert I posted it now
Thanks William! And nice pool tricks in the shallow pool! Reflection is normal and necessary at times. Your videos are so well edited and produced. Your skills are continuing to improve. It will come if you continue and enjoy what you’re doing
With you thru the highs and lows. Love to you friend.
Thanks I really appreciate that. Thank you!
No matter what the future is~~~~ You have left a lot of good memories for yourself and us~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Thank you for your hard work
Thanks
Always a great video William. Get Maria to travel more with you !! Enjoy
OMG same lol. After partying pretty hard for most of my life, at 39 I was burnt out and enjoy good food and company and friends instead. My best friend is travelling around South America solo right now and she said she feels too old for the hostels as they are partying and noisy and she feels grumpy and old lol
Hahaha yes same
I love ALL your videos! Your photography is beautiful. I can live vicariously thru you until I can achieve more freedom to explore the globe. Nice seeing your channel grow and anything William works for me
Love your videos. Thank you for taking me with you my friend 💕. Everything you do becomes hum- drum.
Work. Travel...playing. I do encourage you too keep encouraging us to travel..prices too! And how to work fitness into of your...our life.
I would love to have coffee on the balcony with you!!!
I also have lived...my life. And nothing has been dull...if you love your job , you never work a day in your life!
Change is coming....thats life..please dont stop!💓💝
Thanks yes I enjoy making videos but I went to all places I wanted to see in the world so I'm a bit lost now and if I stop traveling I wouldn't know what to do
Hey, Hey, Hey William. Great video ‘interlude’, I’m here for you my friend. Doesn’t matter if you think your videos are ‘good or bad’, you your personality and your world view are what really matters. Chill and Take it easy for a while! I’m 60 btw!
It’s great you share how your feeling. Thank you for outstanding videos.
To me traveling is constant stimulation and excitement. It basically increases my 'baseline' for what happiness is. After every long trip I take, I come home and feel quite depressed for a while unless I really pace myself and make time and find ways for feeling productive
Nice video, as always. You're getting close to 100k
William ,thanks for your most interesting videos . Every time I pick up my iPad I always check yours first , simply they are fun and true to life.
William, although this video may not have been the one you planned, I will say this is my favorite video you've done! I also love to travel, but feel stuck in a shitty job, and hearing your words of encouragement helps me! Keep doing what makes you happy, whatever that may be ❤️
thanks a lot I appreciate that!
Awesome Pooool Tricks ! Hey just chilling is perfect. You don’t have to go to the bars. I enjoy watching your videos for just everyday things. Walking down the street and what everything looks like. People, Scenery and beaches ! Ha ha ! I also like your outlook on life most of all. You have a great deal of wisdom for someone so young.
the island ia always a bit quiet during the day as most peopel are out diving, also it is still recovering from lack of tourists during the last 2 years
Please never say that you feeling old, because its not true. You are so young and good looking man full with energy my friend 👍I'm 53 and I can't say that I feeling old because I don't...think positivity and everything will be okay. Love the video 👍well done and keep going 👏😁Thanks for sharing and take care 😁✌
You need rest too. You can be alert, happy, present and rest too. Peace . We all value your uniqueness. No expectations.....Peace.
You're actually playing with a bidet! Lol.. you are hilarious! I love your videos you're born to Entertain! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on life, positivity throughout a lot of the videos. Your body is a machine, You are Amazing William! Stay safe & have a wonderful time on your travels!!.✌️😀👍🎉🌻🌊🌺💞
You crack me up mate. Love the videos
thanks!
You should consider going back to Puerto Vallarta. You have so much more to discover there.
I love your videos, your personality and your message to follow your dreams, but I understand that you also need a break from that. Spending some time with the people that you love will recharge you again....God bless you William :)
A little bit of Maria in your life
A little bit of Maria by your side
A little bit of Maria is all you need
A little bit of Maria is what You see
A little bit of Maria in the sun
A little bit of Maria all night
You need Maria in your life 😝 1 crazy 😜 and 1 calm 😆. We love your attitude 🥰 you are awesome! Hug 🤗. A hug also for Maria
Cheer up buddy...your videos are entertaining...wishing you all the best. Hope you find a fun new adventure. ❤
Thank you, I will!
Sometimes we need to vent and relax our brain William. You can't go all out 100% of the time trying to make people happy or wanting every video to do really well. I like that you are authentic and not trying to do the same thing as other people. You have your own style and you are trying to find a way to cope when you explain how you feel for these videos, which is brave. Thanks man, have a good day.
Great video man. Not only for the beautiful setting, but also for sharing your thoughts and philosophies. We’re the same age but I’ve settled into a more traditional family life, but I love seeing your adventures and hearing your perspective on life. I think you’re on the right path and you’ll know when and how to take the next step.
Thanks yes maybe that is what I should do next. Family life :P
I love your videos! I love you!!💕❤️ 😘
William I am always happy to hear your words of wisdom.
It is ok to be tired.
Just chill and make videos of your daily interaction with local people I lovely Thailand 🇹🇭 Enjoy 😘
👏 Hello William!👏😁
You're a TH-cam celebrity! It doesn't matter what your video content is...You always find a way to have fun even if you're stuck indoors, Thanks for what you do! We appreciate your videos.
Keep doing what you are doing. Enjoying life and being you. You’re far from boring whatever you do it’s exciting from bed bouncing pool tricks to keep fit 👀 it’s good. Love your videos William.
I enjoy watching your videos, you always make me laugh, can’t wait to visit Thailand and Laos .
William, your vids are really sweet, like your attitude. I'm also a traveller but not vlogging, so, I know exactly what you are talking about ...traveller's life🙃😲...just stay uplifted, lots of people live with your vlogs❤️❤️❤️. Love from Greece🇬🇷😘
They are days I don’t feel like doing anything, just to relax in bed. It’s ok to have a day like that. I always enjoy your videos, you always find a way to make it interesting for all of us. 👍
I just came home from 3 weeks of Koh Tao. The island, the bars, the restaurants, the beaches etc. Is nice. But I also like to connect with people which makes it a completely different experience. Nuchy at metal sheet bar in Chalok, opposite Aukotan supermarket is one of my regular destinations. She has the biggest smile on the island. Best food from P.Yok from Treehouse. Neal and P.Yok are doing a fantastic job at the new Treehouse (resort). P.Noi at AWOL2 on the beach between Mae haad and sairee (3 minutes walk from the peer). She was the boss of the legendary WTF bar. Cappuccino at Koppee in Chalok and Big Bite at Chalok are nice places. Hang out with the locals with beach volleyball at Chill bar in Chalok every Tuesday afternoon.
Yes I agree it is nice to meet some cool people!
Any William video is a goodvideo ! Get yourself on an your next adventure ! ❤
I love the messages you share I totally agree with you, we always have options and we can change our life at any moment really!!
Being a bit bored from time to time creates space for creativity. Even constant travel can become boring. No matter what path a person chooses there are trade offs in life. I hope that you keep a journal so you can look back on all the places that you have been and recall what is unique about each of those places. Just know you are on the right path. It’s called living. Peace to you William. Be happy.♥️
love your vidoes i know your going yo hit that 100k im planning to start my travels my self before the end of this year :P keep up the great content
Nice to see u slowing down a little to get back to yourself. Take care and have fun!
Thanks 👍
I have recently started following you. Love following you around on your travels. Do you have a video out on how you make money to afford all the travel?
TH-cam ad revenue and investments
Just left Koh Tao myself and it was sad to see so many businesses had closed since the pandemic 🥹
Yeah only the bar fish bowl was doing well lol
No William. I'm 60 years old. I watch because you are you.
Any William video is a good video. I travel fulltime too, so I always enjoy seeing what you're up too. Yes, definitely get going sharing your fitness secrets! I need it! Hello from Quepos, Costa Rica!
Thanks Steve I posted it now. I appreciate your support!
Steve, do you vlog your travels? Would love to see...❤
Oh of course another gringo in Costa Rica exploiting Pura Vida. Go back to America.
Your videos are far from being boring--they are amazing!!!----they have a relaxed way about them, they aren't all hyped up--love seeing the maps of where you are--those are really instructive and informative. You have some wonderful photography that you share and the accompanying music is beautiful. I haven't seen many other peoples' videos this well done. I like it that you share your thoughts, and concerns. I don't blame you that you want to travel--just be careful!!--but don't miss out on having a family and the more permanent things in life that can bring great joy!!
you are a trip William,love your adventures,thanks Bro
81k subscribers! 100k soon! Congrats, another great video.
Hi dude, Your vids are refreshing man. One of a kind personality. Very unique brother. You and Kurt Kaz my favorites youtubers bru.
Good place to relax for sure. Take it easy and relax
Between the past and the future, the present translates into providing us with happy moments. You make our days and you hold countless talents! A fabulous sense of humour, exceptional bodywork and one day when you get married and have two or three children, you will surely be the idol of the family because our idol is already there! I've been to Thailand 11 times but never to Koh Tao... Greetings from Lisbon! 👍
Great vid William ,not boring for me,as I have never been there……..yet
I can really relate to your state of mind. Keep doing what makes you happy!
I find you great I love your humour keep it up👍👏👏👏
Thank you so much 😁
I enjoy your videos because of away from you live dialogue, you are also a gifted narrator.
William, I feel like you were happiest when you were with some new friends in the Maldives. Being around some like minded travelers is probably the answer as opposed to hanging out alone as you did in India and now Thailand. Ever considered joining the Peace Corps or some similar organization and working with kids and people that could use a helping hand in an interesting place like Africa? You could continue to document your daily adventures with a job like that!
Yes that is a great idea for you William I think!
Yes because the people I met there were my age and good people. You dont come across people like that a lot of times. It takes time to meet people you want to hang out with. And quite hard when you stay in a place just for a week
You are very wise to live the life that you always wanted to live. So many of us conform to the usual 9 to 5 job and get stuck and become complacent and comfortable and we don't step out of that comfort zone, as miserable as we may be, and before you know it, the years creep up on you and one thing about this life is that the most precious thing we posses is time and it goes by so quick!! In retrospect I wish i had done so many things differently. Eventually you will be with friends and even a girlfriend to enjoy your travels with. In the meantime continue making these great videos!
I've watched your video on and off for a few years now. I to am a traveler and we have been to a lot of the same places , when you were in Playa de Carmen we were in Cozumel spent best part of a year there. Now your in Koh Tao perhaps my favourite island. Traveling is not so easy now since covid you need a travel parter maybe? I'm still exploring trying to find the best place that ticks the most boxes.
Presently doing Turkey.
Face it you’re in love with Maria! She is amazing, go win her heart back
Wow. I only had one real job in my life with the fire department which I just retired from. Maybe being stuck to one thing is the reason why I am so interested in new adventures. Sometimes those new adventures are bad choices but I think I kind of understand now.. Great videos. More than exploring the world. Lot of thinking. Keep em coming.
You don't need to work a regular job to settle down. You have your channel.. and the channel is like a job. The only thing is that you can't build things while traveling. You could have a house near the beach, a girlfriend, and people would still watch your channel. Too bad that you never tried to fix your US status because others did that too. Maria and you in the US, well, that would be so lovely. Or Mexico for example, you seemed to be more happy over there. But it's you life and I can tell you are thinking about all those things as well. I traveled the world too, grew up in Germany and became an US citizen at the age of 34. I am glad I found a place I love, a place in California, with beaches, palm trees, and everything I need. Now I don't need to travel that much anymore. All the best William.
William all of your videos are awesome ! No matter what the content is or even if you don’t do anything! You’re the content, your personal insight to life and your passion for life. I love that you’re an encourager! We truly appreciate you! 🙏🏻🙌👏✈️😇
thank you!
Wonderful video, William, from beginning to end. I'm in my 60's & haven't been too many places in my lifetime. I enjoy all of your videos. I started watching you when you were in Acapulco, Mexico. ...You seemed really happy 😉 when you were with Maria...just sayin'... 😁🙄 (Hee hee)
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks Yes that was at the beginning of when I started having freedom to do whatever I wanted
You need Maria, I think she will make you happy.
Your videos inspire me to use my senior years wisely - travel,travel, travel !!!!!
We did it backwards. We had kids and grandkids first and then began our travels. We are younger grandparents. Any which way you do it is great. Your videos have inspired us to take the leap and just get out there and travel. Don’t fret! You need a partner to enjoy it with. We loved watching you and Maria! Best wishes😃
Hi William I love watching you. I hate traveling. I hate living out of a suitcase… I just STOPPED traveling and I couldn’t be happier. I live in Beautiful Rincon Puerto Rico where I relax and enjoy life.
A word or two about the butt sprayer: Usually, though not always, there is a small tap at the far end of the hose where it connects to the source pipe. Just turn that lever a bit, one way or the other, to adjust the pressure of the spray if it's not to your liking.
But also, consider this: if, as almost all of us have experienced, you are unlucky enough to have a bird poop on your arm, have you been satisfied to simply wipe it "clean" with a tissue, or did you wash your arm with water and maybe even soap? The same thinking should apply to one's butt, I'd imagine. Using water is much, much cleaner than tissue alone. It's been years since I last used only toilet paper. (Too much information, I know.)
hey william i am an old guy that has had the good fortune to travel to many of the same destinations as u have been doing, just wanted to tell u that i enjoy watching u live it up as u do, u are inspirational and entertaining and quite obviously a super young fellow, thank u and will continue following your escapades as long as u are doing your travels, and beyond if u decide to settle and share, all the best
Love the rain footage!
I'm in Turkey talking to this guy from Holland who's travelled the world, he said he works his ass off to save then travels all over the world and occasionally does some part time work in some countries.
He said he's loved every minute of it and would never do the digital nomad shit,
He said its all stress and not living and most of the time earning no money.
It made me think, he has a bloody good point. He's 33 and about to go back to Holland after 2 years of being away
hey bro, I was in Koh tao like a week ago and like you I was there 4 years ago and 10 years ago. Yes its a lot quieter but the main bars are empty now.... everyone goes to fish bowl which isa bit of a walk away. We needed up spending 2 weeks in Koh tao because we just loved it there and did loads of diving, its also where you meet a lot of people.
William! I've had at least 90 jobs at 65 years. I quit them all, to find another, to find newness in this only life I get to have. Your funny ways of jumping into pools, the way you eat, you and I are kindred spirits! I love any video you do. And your personality makes me feel alright about my own, as I resemble your free living attitude, and the way you treat people, with respect from moment one! This is rare, and beautiful. I moved to Mexico three years ago, and will never go back to USA, now a pit. Mexico is so lovely, and so are your videos! Keep on trucking, dude!!! I'll be watching! Come visit us in Jocotepec!
Oh wow many jobs you must know a lot about everything! I did learn a lot from all the jobs but I wasn't truly satisfied. Glad to read your comment and that you moved to Mexico and tried a lot of things! Mexico is great I think I will return soon. Enjoy!
Good for you, Jenn... we moved to Mexico from Vancouver, Canada in April on a 4 year Temp Residency and love it here!
Jenn, I was just in Joco! I spent a month in Ajijic and a day in Joco. Great area. I am in Vallarta now after a few months in Playa del Carmen. I love Mexico so much!
@@TammyTravelsTheWorld wow, how is weather in Vallarta? We never go anywhere but live vicariously thru travel people like you and William. We lived in Ajijic for 7 months, but wanted a local feel. Mexican people here are sweet, kind, religious and so utterly friendly and welcoming. Travel on, amiga!
@@wl5609 where in mexico?
After sitting in lockdown for 2 years watching your and other TH-camrs videos I decided why don't we do the same and get out of this expensive country. In September 2021 we started vlogging full time and traveling in Mexico and Belize. Still at it now and love life on the road. Hopefully, my channel will grow enough to keep this up until I drop and we can visit a lot of other countries.
Thanks! Keep uploading :)
@@williamtaudien That's what I am doing 2 to 3 uploads a week. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully, my channel will take off.
Best Vlogger, Keep it up pls.
I really appreciate that thank you
I wish I was in your spot to be able to travel
Keep it up we love you
Hi William we enjoy your vidio's, please do more!
Love the pool tricks!
Last videos turned out to be so insightful and deep, way better than a ordinary travel vlog where you simply share informations about the places. Keep doing it, please be true, internet is plenty of shallow tourist videos, we don’t need more other. Sure you’ll find your answers 👍🏼 (or maybe not 🤷🏻😁).
thanks. Nobody finds the answers in this life. We dont know why we are on a planet in space and what happens after we die. Maybe after we will find the answers :P
I'm tired of travelling and vlogging as well. Though, my channel is growing so slowly and it's a bit of a drag sometimes. Though, I'm addicted to just going to the next place, to find out if it's better or not. Then you get bored, and go to the next place!
I really enjoy watching your adventures, I especially like how you are "Real" when talking about life as a traveler. Keep recording your future adventures as it will be a great journal for your future kids to watch.
All of your videos are awesome
