One of the incredible things that comes out of adversity is the reflection in how it opens up different routes to your growth. Losing family, losing friends, losing a job...these things are not controllable. How you cope with them, however, is. You need to be able to step back and see what this unexpected negativity can do for your life and as cliched as it sounds, how can you turn the loss into a personal positive for your own development. I know as each parent passed away I went through the normal stages of grief but eventually I learned internally what they taught me and came better to appreciate them for those positives, forgetting about the day-to-day negativity that sometimes colors your perception of another person. The same is true for career growth. Sometimes it takes losing something to reevaluate what you are capable of doing and trying a new direction whereas in the past you were in a seeming contentment coasting along in comfort rather than growth. Keep producing messages of hope but don't forget the joy you bring others showing your happiness together on your travel adventures.
I’m so glad you’re both back. You’ve been very missed!!!!!
Thanks a million, Lori! We are so excited to be back to our normal selves!
One thing you should know, you got the love of thousands of your followers all over the world. We love you and wish you the best in your journey. Thank you for the genuine vlogs that entertained us during the lockdowns, thank you for your merry, good-natured self and the love coming through your cameras. You're still pretty young, both of you, so hold your head up high and enjoy life.
Hi Micha, well done on such a truly authentic and heartfelt message. I’m originally from Grantham (just up the road from P’boro) but now live permanently in Melbourne Australia. I work in mental health here. I send you both best wishes and am confident that you will come through this even stronger. Your insight will work in your favor and guide you yet again. Keep your memories close, and don’t be afraid to spend time with them. Make time for self compassion and reflect on your amazing resilience. If you ever get over here again, feel free to reach out and I’ll happily host you both. Take care xx
Thanks so much, really appreciate it! Can you send us a message on Instagram or Facebook so we don't lose you?
Micha, my son died unexpectedly at age 27 six years ago this August. He was born on my birthday and I raised him and his siblings as a single mother. His two sisters and brother and I have struggled since with many of the issues you mentioned…flare ups in preexisting mental health issues for two of his siblings and significant weight gain for all four of us. It’s a daily struggle wondering why him, why so young, no goodbye possible. My only hope is, since he was in the middle of playing a volleyball game surrounded by his good friends, he didn’t experience pain. I’ll never know but I do know that on the morning of his death he texted me a photo of a rainbow. Every time anyone sees a rainbow now they quickly message me a photo of it. He shows up still and people remember him. I’m sure your brother will come to you in a sign too. Sending you a big hug and please know I’m thinking of you and sending you strength to make it through those lows. ~Lori

#RIPChrisLewis 😇🌈💙
A strong women loves, forgives, walks away, let's go try again, and perseveres... no mater what life throws at her.... Best of luck for your bright future
Not many people can be so brave and authentic in front of a camera, actually the world. And you’ve just done that and you’ve given us the courage and strength to go on! Stay strong, Micha! Know that you’re not alone, in fact we all have issues and we’re all in this together! My heart is pounding for you and I truly believe the days ahead of us will be better and brighter, you’ll be proud thinking back this moment in 10 years. I’m sending lots of love to you, your family and Justina from Malaysia! We’ll be okay. 💕✌️🌈🌃
Thanks sooooo much, Calvin!!! ❤️
Malaysians miss you. Both of you. 😭✨
Wow...8 month without content...Malaysians miss both of you
Welcome to Malaysia..
I sincerely hope that by talking about your pain, you are taking that step to healing. My tightest hugs to you. I have missed Justina and you. I celebrate your positivity! Cheers to freedom!!!!!
You are right, Cecilia. I have done this video to have some sort of closure but also to inspire others to simply keep on going no matter how hard life can get ♥️
Nice seeing you again. I also have lost a brother but I just keep on being good as I could so that someday hoping that we may see each other again. You know life is like an airport one-way, our love one is leaving and and we stay and it's hard because we terribly miss them and you don't know when you will have each other again. We don't know our travel yet but we are all in line. Let's pray for God's mercy that we may have a safe landing when it's our time and see our love ones welcoming us with great joy.
I love your analogy. It’s sad but very true. I also pray that one day I will see my lost ones again. They are looking over us though. I honestly feel that. Condolences to your brother also. For now we have got to keep going 💕
Micha, welcome back. Please stay strong, courageous and positive. You are a beautiful person.
We look forward to seeing more vlogs from you and Justina in future when the situation permits.
Blessings from Borneo.
Really sad to hear of your life story of losing your mom and brother - those are very hard to go through. Know that you were destined for something far greater - always. Unfortunately, we all have to say good-bye to our loved ones and it's sad to see you go through it at such a young and tender age. But going through it at such a young age has only made you even more stronger! Challenges always come into our life - it's just our reaction to them that matters and you've always reacted the best!
You are really strong. And your story really touched my heart. Stay strong and never give up. We have problems too just like you, but we will stay with you guys. Take care! ❤️ From 🇲🇾
Thanks so much! You take care too! xx
@@BeerForBreakfast Cheers!
You keep climbing mountains and keep comming out on top----so glad your heart keeps chosing love----love of life. This world is better with you in it, so keep on climbing
Thanks Clyde! ♥️
Proud here for you. Love your mother today and always. I love my mother. Always and forever.
Proud of you for overcoming so many challenges! Glad to see you guys back!
Thanks a lot, Alina! Really appreciate your support xx

You are brave and tough, Keep your life positive !!! Dont give up.
Thank you for speaking up for all of us because some of your stories are also our stories. Stay safe

You are inspiring!
I am sorry for your loss,
Choose the positive always, lots of love.
Please stay safe.
Thanks so much! How did you come across this video if you don’t mind me asking?
@@BeerForBreakfast i have actually watched some of your videos in the past.
I think the very first one was when you guys were down in Borneo (Kota Kinabalu Sabah), I loved the energy and vibes you guys had.
I am from Malaysia btw and in Singapore now.
Recently I was thinking of traveling to Lithuania (its history is so interesting Polish Lithuania, its Soviet Past and all) so I searched for youtube videos on Vilnius, and your videos came up (great videos!!).
Then I came across this video.
Thanks for reaching out and replying, I just wanted you to know that you are inspiring :-)
Please take care and stay safe.
Blessings.
micha, life is never a bed of roses. everyone has their own cross to bear.
life has definitely dealt u a difficult hand; and yet you have made the best of things by not taking the easy way out and claiming victimhood. kudos to you!
the worth of an individual is built up by overcoming adversity; as it builds character, wisdom and empathy for others.
keep on striving and hoping; and remember that u r not alone as, in addition to justina, god is always with you 🙏
Thanks so much, Nicholas. Appreciate your support!
Saddening, beautiful, inspiring, I can't really find the words. But a truly wonderful video. You're a strong human. And it was also great to see you vlogging before you knew what vlogging was. You've always had it in you. Sending love!
Sending lots of Love from an 🇦🇺 in 🇸🇬! This pandemic has really screwed with many of us. Stay strong, and remember to try and not worry over things we cannot control! ❤️
So pity. Keep Strong. Build a new life. Always support ur channel. Love it . From Kuching Borneo SARAWAK, Malaysia. We always welcome u to our country.
I wish you all the great things in life, you deserve it
Stay Strong .. Much love ❤️
I can relate, you made me cry - cheers to the future x
Thanks a lot, Cora!
Dear Micha; These are not easy things to experience. I'm glad you chose to stand strong. My only wish is for these unpleasant events to end. You have a home in Istanbul, it's a pleasure to host you.
Thanks so much 😌
Tears and love. Congratulations for this beautiful and amazing video.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother. Continue to press forward as you’ve been doing. We are all very proud of you.
A very touching and brave story. Though we have never met, it makes you and Justina like family to me. Best wishes from Sarawak.
This is such an inspiring story. Just remember..you ARE stronger than what you perceive. You have proved that time and time again. Cheers to everlasting freedom!
Aww Micha.. 🥺 Sending tight hug 🫂 Be strong love.🍀🌷
Misha I am blown away by your honesty and transparency. Your so brave for sharing this and it will help so many others, my self included. Keep being positive and living life. I love following you and Justina in your adventures. Big hugs ❤
well done...this was so brave, u have had a very hard time growing up, not sure many would have ended up doing what you did, many would have gone the wrong route...
This was an incredible video! I was so happy to see you pop up again, even though it was under the worst of circumstances. I couldn't begin to imagine what you're going through right now, but I can tell just from this video how strong you are, and I can't wait to see you two trekking the globe again! Thanks for the video!
Ahhh, thanks so much!!! Your support means so much to us !!! ♥️
Hey Misha ,you are beautiful both inside and outside .I am so sorry about your losses .All the best .
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You two are an amazing couple. I started watching your videos since your Canada series, that's probably 3 years back. I'm surprised to realize that you make such lovely and lively videos yet you hid so much pain in you. Your story is very inspiring.
I am so sorry about your brother my father die this year too 🌱
So sorry to hear that!!
Everyone had own story.. lets it motivate us to keep strong today and success in future..
Absolutely!
Hi Micha, Yes it does seem strange that some people go through life with no problems
and other, (like you), have everything to cope with. It is so nice to see you vlogging
again, I have missed you both. You are now through this dark period and can look forward
to better things and remember your mother and brother will always be with you and watch
over you. Remember also that we all love you too. Keep safe & cannot wait to see both you
and Justina vlogging again. Ashley xxx

Hi Micha! You're so brave to shared your life journey with us. Everyone has their own life stories whether it was happy or sad. I believe you will always choose positive way to live your life. I'm very proud of you to come this far 👏❤. Because of this pandemic, everyone around the world, life change drastically. Missing both of you so much. Happy to see both of you come back to new video. Thanks for such inspiring video 😘. Looking forward to new videos from you, Micha & Justina ♥️.
Thanks a million, Jenny! We hope that you are doing as ok as you can be ! ♥️
Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry for your traumas but thankful for your courage and I'm praying for you ...truly.
Thanks so much, Beth ♥️
These videos resumed In July after 10 months and I am now watching ....however hearing these tragic things that took place was the last thing I expected. May the grace of the Lord be with you Micha, and all thats left of your humble life. I am absolutely proud of you,
Peace, Peace, Peace be unto you
Hi Micha, welcome back! We missed you both. Stay strong ya
I have nothing to say but Respect to you!
Micha, kudos on your honesty and courage... not just on the decisions you have made but also in sharing them with us. Yeah, in 2019 I discovered I had been suffering from depression for about 10 years. It explained a lot... but more importantly, actually knowing what it was helped me start to deal with it. Yep, 2020 certainly did a number on all of us... but I also believe it presented the opportunity for all of us to rethink and recalibrate what we do and how we do it. This time has forced us to focus on what is truly important. Cheers and here's to forging ahead!
I couldn’t agree more. I feel like everything was bottled inside for all this time. So if I could thank these last 2 years for anything it would be that time for reflection. I don’t even feel like the same person. I will thank myself in the future for that. Maybe at the moment it is still too soon to tell. All the best Marcel. You always write such lovely comments.
So good to see you back here!
Greetings from Sarawak Borneo !! Glad to see you Back on again!
I'm really sorry to hear about your brother. It's definitely been a brutal year and a half. It's certainly understandable that you guys needed a break. Glad to see you back. Just take all the time you need for your mental health. When life gets back to normal, and it's finally time to travel again, I think that passion you have for filming and traveling will reignite.
For now, take time to heal. Wish you the best!
Aww, you are seriously one of the most understanding peoppe! Thanks a lot ♥️
"Reunited and it feels so good!!".. I was just recently enjoying BFB travel vlogs in Toronto Canada. No other travel channel will do for me especially during lockdown. Didn't not expect you guys to come back in real time but you did! I'm so glad!..Stay safe all :D
Awww, thanks a lot! Really appreciate your support ♥️
Please stay safe and strong.
Girl, so proud of you. I think everyone can relate to your feelings and experiences. You are a very strong soul.
Wow, what an amazing person you are , sending love from Spain.
Aww thanks a lot, David ❤️
The exact reminder I needed today. ❤️ Welcome back ladies!
Since first seeing your video on a ferry in the Philippines, while I was living in PH, going through a lot of reflection and soul searching, I knew there was something special about you two. Now I know more why, and deeply feel so much of your story too. One of the best things a therapist ever told me while I was grieving so much change and loss of traditions and family, was that I would get to build my own traditions and family. It’s not all lost, but all new. It’s not only what I was born into but what I now choose to create for myself. It took years but has brought me so much joy. I’m so thrilled to see you’re doing just that; shaping your future by choice and with what makes you happy! Power on and know you’re never alone, and that you inspire! 👏❤️🌏
Absolutely!!! I couldn’t agree with you any more 😌
Hi Micha, I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you are feeling better. I know what it feels like to suffer deeply, and your story is very inspiring. I also went travelling around the World and had so much positivity coming my way ever since. :) I love your channel, love to revisit some of the places I've been to. Cheers to freedom!
Hey Brigita, thank you so much for your comment. Travelling is good for the soul 😌 haven’t seen your name pop up before, how did you find out about our channel? ☺️
@@BeerForBreakfast I searched TH-cam for travel blogs ;) Don't know if it was for a specific country, but yours popped up one of the first. I've watched many of your adventures, it cheers me up a lot. Thank you :) By the way, I'm Lithuanian, like Justina! ;)
@@brigitapupelyte6867 That's so sweet. Thanks for following our channel :) Yes, I can tell by the name hehe. Labas! Do you live in Lithuania? :)
@@BeerForBreakfast Labas! Thanks for producing great videos :) I do, I'm based in Vilnius. :)
My heart breaks for the losses you have endured. I’m so sorry 😢 I’m sending you big hugs and love from Vancouver. You are such a beautiful soul and yours and Justyna’s video always encourage and distract me during hard times. I think your home is with her - as they say “home is a feeling, not a place.” Lots of love to you both and so glad yo see your videos again, and to escape with you ❤️
Ahhh, thanks so much!!!! 🙏
The night is long that never finds the day. Love from Japan💕
Blessings ❤️✌️🙏❤️

Even though so much has happened in your life, you are handling it in the best way... Even though there is bad days, if you went on the other route, it would have been so much worse.. And Justina is great so I’m sure she is looking after you!
Thanks, Victoria 😌
Amazing live journey.... Its about choices
Congratulations survivor you are a beautiful balladeer of verbal life and story teller.
Damn girl. What a life you have lived. Cheers to both of your futures. I know they’re bright. ❤️
Your story make me in tears. I'm following you guys when you are in Srilanka. My situation prity much in the same side. Lost my dad when I'm 16 and my mom when I'm 18. 2 years a part. A child shouldn't go through what I went through. Even try to take my own life away few times. But didn't happened. God have plan for everyone. It's not in our hand. Anyways don't want to bored with my life story. Be strong and we all will go through this together. 🙏
Ahhh, I am soooo sorry to hear that mate 🥺 you are right - no child deserves to lose their parents like that … 😔 let’s try to be strong for our future ♥️
Welcome back guys! We miss you!
So glad to see you again Micha! Yes, things has been going very badly lately and I'm so glad you've found the strength to stand up again. Thanks for sharing your story, I've found it very awe inspiring. Hope to see you and Justina again soon in your next video! HUGS!
Micha such a wonderful story of your life...
Thank you 😌
Keep going Micha! you are a very strong and independent lady. God Bless You!
Thanks so much!🙃
Interesting, educational and sometimes a little sad . Life can be hard . You are a good person.
Thank you for doing this video. very powerful, moving and inspiring. Your strength is a gift. God bless.
Be very brave Micha.. You both can overcome anything together! Glad you two are back! Hugzz
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sure making this video was not easy and I hope it was therapeutic for you. You are a beautiful and courageous woman. My condolences on the loss of your brother. I discovered your channel during the pandemic and have enjoyed watching your travel vlogs in mini binges. The two of you are so much fun to watch. I'm glad that you are posting again and look forward to watching your future adventures.
Good to see you Micha. Thank u for sharing your story. So proud of, and impressed with, your determination. Stay strong and be safe always.
Stay strong Micha and god bless you
Stay strong... Also lost my wife wth a breast cancer...
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved brother. Your story is inspiring to me cos I am currently at a age where I dread of losing people that I love as I see them aging day by day. I hope that day will never come and I am not sure I am mentally and emotionally ready for that. But i realize one thing for sure, cherish people that we love while they are still around. When borders are open, welcome back to Malaysia. Wanna give you a big HUG❤
Yes squeeze everyone that little bit tighter next time!! Cherish every moment. Thanks for watching
my condolences to you micha and your family for your loss. i hope with you sharing this video you can help others out there processing their grieves and help yours too. and i'm so glad to see you guys started to post again.

Wow, so sorry to hear that you had to go through so much! And sorry for the loss of your brother! Thank you for not letting the negative experiences in the past define your life and always choosing the positive side, which enabled you to share your life story with us. I think you helped, inspired and motivated a lot of us out there with your story. Hope you get well soon and be able to travel and share your passion for it soon as well.
Thanks so much!
This was a sad, but beautiful video. So sorry to hear you have been so unwell. I hope you continue to get better and your life improves. xx
Thanks a lot, Pauline! I am on the journey to see a stronger self..
You are a very strong person, Micha. Glad you shared this story with your followers. In fact, a very difficult one to tell and to listen to. But it has provided a glimpse of your life, where you come from and what you had to overcome in your journey. More importantly, it will help other people to overcome difficult times and perhaps appreciate things in life differently. A very sensitive, yet inspiring and eye-opening video. Glad to see you back girls and can't wait for your travels to continue. And I wish you both all the very best in your future. Much better times are ahead of you! Sending you and Justina a big hug and loads of love! ❤️
Thanks for your kind words. I really hope this video helps others. It would give my pain meaning and I could draw strength from that.
Thank you, Micha. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Thanks for the inspirng story.
I miss u girls 🖤
