Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone. Big thanks to all your support in 2024 🙏 It was an incredible year and I have many more exciting plans for 2025! Watch the next video with my mom & dad and me here: th-cam.com/video/jkisQGDYwi4/w-d-xo.html
I'm so glad you've returned to your hometown, Ken. I think there was a poet from the Tang Dynasty, over 1,000 years ago in China, who wrote a poem that captures the feelings about returning home that are hard for you to express. “Letters from beyond the mountains have ceased, and many years have passed, through winters and springs. As I near my hometown, my feelings grow even more hesitant, for I fear asking the people from home about it, lest it has changed beyond recognition.” 岭外音书断，经冬复历春。 近乡情更怯，不敢问来人。
Hello Ken, thank you for being our eyes taking us around the world in 2024. we might be trapped inside our endless daily messes, but everytime your video showed us a corner of our beautiful world, we felt free and happy. Next year I wish everyone who read this comment could have travel and experience to the place you dreamed to be and with an open mind like Ken does. Thank you again, Ken. Happy New Year to you and your blessed loved ones. Your chinese fan
I love your mom, she's not shy to express her feelings of excitement when she sees you, I remember the same reaction in the last video. So beautiful, pure and natural.
This is so sweet, especially knowing how big Christmas is in Germany. It's so nice to see your mom (and now your dad!) on your channel, and brings back memories of your original videos in German!! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
18:53 Awwww your Mom running to you was so sweet 🥰 Enjoy the holidays with your family and friends back home! 🎅🎄☃ And danke schon for entertaining us for the past years! See you next year!
Welcome home, Ken! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. I miss Germany; especially Christmas in Germany. Germany is actually my place of birth even though I am American.
Hi Ken, I think the English word you were looking for about being back in Germany is "bittersweet" - 😉 But I had tears in my eyes seeing you with your family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your mom, dad and sister.
Best wishes for the festive season and thanks for introducing me /us to your family, So beautiful the welcome at the airport Mum and Dad and meeting your sister later on. Your Mum is so beautiful and full of life and interest.Go Mum.
Thank you for this vlogg. As a mother myself I can see how much love your mother has for you and yr sister. I can see how much she misses you. Happy New Year 🎉
Finally! You're back home, and I'm sure your bed (and your family) are thrilled to see you. Thanks for the amazing content, Ken. You've made us all travel vicariously through you
Glad to see your mom, sister & others in the family. Always reunion with the family is emotional. I have not seen your g/f until now. Merry Christmas & Happy new year to you all.
There's a Chinese saying: "Where my heart feels at peace, there is my homeland." I totally understand how you feel. When I moved from my hometown to a city I loved for work, I had a similar feeling. It’s hard to explain, but I get it.
Ken ❤ I just love to watch you, Your mom is very beautiful😍❤ kind and soft spoken just like you, i really hope you make your next video and upload it soon. ✌💯
Yes, it is sad to say goodbye especially to your parents! I feel how you feel! I left my parents and migrated to another country 60 years ago. It was difficult to see them often when I was struggling to raise my own family. I was on my way to see my dad when it seemed his final day was near. But I missed him by a few hours. 😢
ken, Marvellous to meet your mom & sister at your home & it is so beautiful to see you all together. Much needed break at home ! & May this Christmas be filled with warmth, happiness, and memories for your family.
Hi Ken, this was one of the best videos I have seen among the TH-camrs, I'm happy for you as u have reunited with your family. you are a good person and stay chill
Aww This Is The Best Vlog I Watched Today & I Loved it🤗 Such a Beautiful Sight To See😍 Family Filled With So Much Love & Joy☺️ Lots Of Love From Me to Mom and Dad 🫶 God bless Them🤗
The best part of the entire videos of your TH-cam channel is that you spent those unforgettable moments of time with your mother, Dad and sister. Namaste to all.
A belated Christmas greeting to you and your lovely mother and sister! It is always emotional and happy to see your loved one in the Festive season as Christmas!
Merry Chrismas Ken and your lovely family. 圣诞快乐! Wish you all the best. I am a Bhuddist from China, even we a lot of us don't celebrate Christmas but I could feel it's so important for ppl like you and your family to gather together, spend time with family, that's the most touching and important thing. Wish you all the best and welcome to visit China again, highly recommend some small ancient towns like Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, Fenghuang, Furong, Wangxiangu, Wuzhen, Xitang, I think these are more historically interesting than big cities. I would also like to know something about Germany, maybe when you are free you could also make some videos about Germany? Enjoy your stay at your sweet hometown.
As somebody who has lived in Vietnam for 18 years, the feelings you describe upon returning is completely understandable and spot on. It's like returning to a strange place, yet you recognize everything, but it kinda feels so detached and foreign.
Finally, at home for the holidays 2024... "Frohe Weihnachten" 🎄 🎁 Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year! Great memorable end of the year vlog > Ciao and Peace, Ken!
KEN your the best, your so kind, stay like that, I’m so excited to watch the Asia videos with your mom in the future!!! Have a great time Ken, Liebe Grüße Florian 😊
Ken, your village looks lovely and it’s so good of you to share your special family time with us. You look so happy. I have never seen the raklet before which is surprising, but it looks great. I look forward to seeing your mum with you in the new year. Hugs from Australia. 🇦🇺🌺🎁🌲
I love your videos when you go home and we get to see your family and learn things about your personal life , this is the first video I’ve seen you mention your girlfriend will we ever get to see her in future videos!? Much love Ken!
Lieber Ken, Dir und Deiner liebevollen Familie wünsche ich Alles Gute im neuen Jahr mit Glück; Gesundheit und Erfolge. Genieß Deine Zeit mit Familie und Freunden in Deutschland.
man i'm almost crying when i saw the scene that you are hugging your mom in the airport. I have same feeling and experience before. I used to be an internatinal student in from china. Because of the pandemic and quanrantine policy I haven't return home for almost 2 years. While I flew back to China I felt like a bit unfamiliar but also excited especially I meet my family. It is so complicated to explain my feelings during long time without backing home. bwt wish you have wonderful journery in this year!
Hi Ken from Australia. I have enjoyed watching your videos over the past few years. I have learned a lot about travelling to various destinations. Have a wonderful time visiting with your family and I look forward to following your adventures in 2025. Stay positive.
Loved ur vid Ke. Im also a solo traveller, just came back from Egypt and Athens and I know that feeling of coming back home. Thanks for sharing ur family time. Cuidate ( take care) Toby from Costa Rica. 🙂
Long awaited journey home but it's worth every moment of it.Deeply warms my heart to see the reunion with all your loved ones especially with your lovely mum at the airport.❤What a wonderful feeling for you Ken.Continue to enjoy your long stay in Germany and here's wishing you and family a Happy New Year 2025.Cheers!🥂🎉✨️💕🇲🇾
Have to comment how beautiful your mums new home is!!!! Cozy. Thank you for sharing I smiled through the entire video. Love from California. Happy New Year.
It’s nice to be with your relatives during christmas time and nice to hear your mom speaking english very well. Not a lot of older people can speak english that good. Seeing the weather in Germany it makes me depressed and I would plan to go back immediately😂😂😂
Ich freue mich, dass Sie nach so langer Zeit Weihnachten mit Ihrer Familie feiern können. Genau wie du werde auch ich nächstes Jahr, nach 4 Jahren, Holi mit meiner Familie feiern. Und herzlichen Glückwunsch zu 400.000 Abonnenten. Viel Glück 👍
Thank you for sharing your family with us. It was nice to see your father… it must be so nice to have Turkish heritage in addition to German. Perhaps being from two cultures contributes to your curiosity about the world and your love of travel.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone. Big thanks to all your support in 2024 🙏 It was an incredible year and I have many more exciting plans for 2025!
Watch the next video with my mom & dad and me here: th-cam.com/video/jkisQGDYwi4/w-d-xo.html
Hello, just take a direct flight to Frankfurt, Berlin or even Munich or Cologne from Singapore Changi airport.
Willkommen züruck!
Merry Christmas Ken...God bless you and your family.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Ken. May 2025 brings you lots of joy, laughter, prosperity and unforgettable memories. Cheers !!
I thought you’re based in Bangkok. Now live in Indonesia? Got Indonesian girlfriend?
Of the many travel TH-camrs this is the one I think I want to be friends with. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.
🙏
Same here
Yeah I agree
I'm so glad you've returned to your hometown, Ken. I think there was a poet from the Tang Dynasty, over 1,000 years ago in China, who wrote a poem that captures the feelings about returning home that are hard for you to express. “Letters from beyond the mountains have ceased, and many years have passed, through winters and springs.

岭外音书断，经冬复历春。
近乡情更怯，不敢问来人。
Thanks a lot for sharing that poem 🙏
Well, It takes a high level Chinese intellectual to come up with this 700 AD Chinese poem and translated.
❤❤
Sir I am your big fan from Pakistan please reply @@KenAbroad
@@KenAbroad Please take your parents to china if you can , that would make for a great video.
They can also enjoy china.
Hello Ken, thank you for being our eyes taking us around the world in 2024. we might be trapped inside our endless daily messes, but everytime your video showed us a corner of our beautiful world, we felt free and happy.

I love your mom, she's not shy to express her feelings of excitement when she sees you, I remember the same reaction in the last video. So beautiful, pure and natural.
I know that's right mom 23:17 '...but my home is your home' 🥰🥰
Get your Mum on more often. She's a natural star. And reminds me of my Mum.
This is so sweet, especially knowing how big Christmas is in Germany. It's so nice to see your mom (and now your dad!) on your channel, and brings back memories of your original videos in German!! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Happy holidays to you too 🙏
Ken you are a great man. Father wants your time, so give it to him and mother too. Actually both of them
THANKYOU MR. KEN. IAM FROM INDONESIA..I LOVE GERMANY..
You love everyone .
After years away from home， once back, the closer to home, the more restless the heart becomes.
This is a Chinese expression: "近乡情更怯."
Your videos are very entertaining . I never get bored watching your videos
Glad to hear that😊
Your mom speaks VERY good english!
18:53 Awwww your Mom running to you was so sweet 🥰 Enjoy the holidays with your family and friends back home! 🎅🎄☃ And danke schon for entertaining us for the past years! See you next year!

It's really touching the moment you met your parents and your mom came over to hug you. Nothing more to describe it, reunification in the new year
Glad to see your mom, sister & others in the family. Always reunion with the family is emotional. I have not seen your g/f until now. Merry Christmas & Happy new year to you all.
Willkommen zurück in Deutschland 🇩🇪,ich wünsche Dir eine schöne Zeit mit der Familie, Ken🙏

Merry Chrismas Ken and your lovely family. 圣诞快乐! Wish you all the best. I am a Bhuddist from China, even we a lot of us don't celebrate Christmas but I could feel it's so important for ppl like you and your family to gather together, spend time with family, that's the most touching and important thing.

Welcome back in Europe Ken! Enjoy your days here with your family👌🏻
As somebody who has lived in Vietnam for 18 years, the feelings you describe upon returning is completely understandable and spot on. It's like returning to a strange place, yet you recognize everything, but it kinda feels so detached and foreign.
