It wasn't necessarily the Life in Germany videos that got me interested to subscribe, it was more of how articulate and insightful your thoughts are about life in Germany, just as your insights about life in general is like in this video. I'm impressed with how level headed you seem to be, and you've got a distinct and strong voice when you speak, it was never condescending but always with the intent of clarifying things. I enjoy your vlogs and I'm glad you're back.
I am sad for ending the life in germany series. I moved to Stuttgart 3 years ago, and somehow found your chanel and started to watch and learn more about Stuttgart. You helped me in my first months here, and I am very sad that its coming to an end. But I do understand you, and wishing you all the best ☺️
Great video, really well said :) Watched it together with Stefan, and we're excited to see where you take this channel!! Looking forward to more videos...whatever you decide to do :D
Hi Sam Walton, Just wanted to let you know that I just discovered your videos of Life in Germany on TH-cam. 60 years ago, at the age of 13, my parents, 2 older brothers and I moved to the USA from Stuttgart, Feuerbach Germany to Baltimore, Maryland. I never got to go back to visit Stuttgart Germany in all these years. However, thanks to your videos of the trips you and your family made in and around the areas of Stuttgart, I got to see and tour my old city of Stuttgart, Germany. It was nice to ses that Stuttgart is as charming as ever. Sam Walton, thank you and keep up the good work. Rudi Bierwirth from Melbourne, Florida
Dude, best of luck to you, i will go to uni in Germany next year and your videos have been a great view of the country, anything you upload it will be fine, thank you for your videos and those sacrifices you have made to do those videos
I need this so badly. Last night I filmed a video...started editing it and HATED it. I don't want to HATE making TH-cam videos. It's always been FUN and CREATIVE. Excited to see where your channel goes.
I started watching your videos on Germany about a year ago, while preparing to move to Frankfurt (been here 6 months now). They were very helpful, and we even visited Mainau Island because of your video on it! We also did a Barfußpfad. :) Anyway, I love your personality and sense of humor...I will keep watching no matter the topic! :)
Pictures and video are great reminders of places and experiences. I thumb through an album and remember places I had forgotten going to. But, those who are always looking through the lens of a camera miss the moment. I feel the same way about people who go to a show & aren't really enjoying it because they are just recording it (and probably never watch the recording). I have always thought you were way more intelligent and life savvy than your age suggests. You have proven it once again with your well thought and well spoken comments. I salute you, Sir! Keep up the good work.
+Bob Hepburn Thank you! :D I feel the same way about people recording street performers... Like two dozen people standing around all with their phones out instead of just enjoying it in the moment. Oh whale. :)
We watched you embrace a new adventure of your life when your family decided to move to Germany. Now, we look forward to the new adventures that life has in store for you. Unlike many others who go kicking and screaming into the night, you venture forth boldly. Who can fault you for that? It is knowledgeable to know when something has come to an end; it is wise when you know when something should end. You have broken a path through your vlogs of how others can take a circumstance of life and embrace it positively and productively. We have had the privilege to see you grow up and mature through your videos and photography. I am sure that your parents must feel a distinct pride in the young man who you have become. Good luck in your new adventures, we look forward to garnering a glimpse for all that you have in store.
Commenting as I watch at work. And I love that. I live in Los Angeles and keep saying I want to share in my vlogs this side of the world...there is SO much to see in ALL parts of the world. I recently went to Germany and I loveddd it (which is how I found your channel.)
I first saw your life in germany series and found your view on life in germany so interesting as a german myself ;) we are the same age and i can really relate to everything changing around us and seing you do so makes me feel that everyone our age is going through very similar experiences, i enjoy watching your point of view and experiences with that 😆 keep on doing what you enjoy and others will enjoy it too and then you will gain followers for the things you NOW are, do and make you happy☺
What about doing a series of touring cities in the South? Give people who follow you from all different countries a view of what life and cities are like in the southern parts of the US. Might be tough on a student budget, but it may be interesting. The South is a polarizing and diverse part of our nation that many people may be interested in learning about.
All you said right before „enough wishy-washy talk“ was some of the least wishy-washy thoughts I ever heard. Thank you for sharing these! Would be happy to see/hear more from you and do sincerely hope you‘re doing well.
In the same boat. From vlogging San Francisco bay area but now back in Houston. What the hell is interesting with Houston? Shitty weather, ugly scenes, lol. You still have a great outlook and communicate well.
I enjoyed your videos about LiG, listening to your thoughts and experiences and I'm curious about your future projects. Have fun with them, then your viewers will have fun, too! BTW: Really nice quilt behind you :)
Like your approach to blogging :-) Always enjoy time with your loved ones. Time is limited nonetheless. Joint your crew a few years back and plan to stay. Keep on going!!! It's great to hear that you make more videos!!!
I figured you would be ending this series when you moved back to the States. It's hard to vlog about life in Germany when you're in the Carolinas. Lol I'm awaiting your next adventure. 👍🏻👍🏻
Don’t believe in yourself. Believe in the me that believes in you! You really are a media genius, Sam. I’m sure whatever you think to upload will get me to click and watch it.
Sam, I found your channel in my recommendation, I got hooked by LIG but I stayed for your personality. So whatever you will upload whenever, I'll watch.
Back in 2013, I used to watch your life in Germany realtalk videos and vlogs. To be fair, being German myself, I was entertained by them but couldn't really get were you are coming from sometimes, like when you talked about what things that you find foreign about Germany. Even in small Europe, you can get ignorant towards the differences of other countries/cultures. In 2015, I moved to Ireland, and I remembered you vids (kinda lost touch to your channel, and just found it again today) and for the first time I saw how astonished one can be about differences in daily life in other countries, that even seemingly similar cultures can be totally different in detail. There's things one got to experience himself to feel them!
It's the same for photography enthusiasts. If you try to hard to document every nice moment of your life, you'll miss out on quite a few precious moments because of that. And other people will get tired of it sooner or later. I'm curious what you will come up with. ;-)
I loved your life in germany series :D But in all honestly, Im sticking around because you're such an awesome guy and I know future content will be worth the wait! :)
SamWaltonMan is so catchy though!!! :( Heavens to Betsy! I dont even know what to do with this news. Ima stick around, I may have came for the Germany but I stay for the Samany.
Every Sam Walton can be a 'Sam Walton', but only YOU can be the one and only 'SamWaltonMan'!!! Don't become 'Twix', stay 'Raider', stay true to your brand! You live(d) in germany, i know you get the reference ;P
I loved your channel as it was, but it wouldn't make any sense to continue this series (although it was and is awesome). I'm on board because I like the way you make your videos and I think the subject is not so important. Glad to hear that more videos will come the next two years. :)
You don't have to formally end/retire the Life in Germany videos. You can still upload whatever you like and leave that as an option for the future if you have some content that fits it. Never say never.
Damn Sam, not being a Vloger or TH-camr for myself I can tell I really enjoyed following your account. It was AND IS nice to get an outside view of the life in the country I am living in. I always enjoyed that and I don't see any reason to unfollow that. It is just an quite interesting subject following you through your ages you know. I'm quite a bit older than you, but I'll stil say you're a guy I wanna have a beer (or a water, I don't care) with. I enjoyed your channel that much, I wouldn't wanna lose contact. Delivering the best wishes from Bonn, Germany - Yours Frederik '(Give me a call when you'd happen to be in Bonn, would love to show you around!)
Sam, I've been watching your videos about adapting to germany and stuttgart in particular. My daughter just got to Stuttgart. She's moved into a dorm, and is freaking out. It's filthy, and has bugs. She needs to get out of there. Do you know of anyone who you might be able to reach out to, that might be willing to act as a host family for her. She's a good kid, who would help around the house and would be no trouble. She needs a place until 12/23. I hope you can help. Let me know. Thank you.
see, i watched all your "Life in germany"- vids in about 14 days 3 years ago. i really liked 'em. they where something different to all the other germanyvids here on youtube! 'cause they sparkled a bit of authenticity that the most other really lack... Since then i check your channel every now and then and i was allways happy, if u did upload something, watched it right away. But now u are in college (or on?) and u grew up, despite what many people say, thats totally fine! Channels change... I know i willl sound like one of this enlightmentgurus, but please, just do your thing as you did before! And after three years of (more or less) constant entertainment, I will leave a sub! Keep it on, and if you wanna visit Hamburg, let me Know!
Very sad, LIG was a cool series, SamTheMan was cool, ordinary sucks. PS: I'm 59 and your videos really nailed Germany. WE KNOW BETTER! LIG is history! AAGGHHHHH!!!
Well I guess that's it then huh... *gets rope and chair *ties a noose #byecruelworld Jk XD I'm totally fine with everything you said. It's totally rational that you ended LIG, cuz as you said you don't live there anymore. My oppinion about the vlogging stuff and things is: I don't care if you only upload only once a year, I'll watch it because I find your personality amazing and hilarious soooo..... Keep doin what you doin
hey i really need you advice on something, when you applied for the resident permit to go to college in Germany did you actually need the 8640 euro to get the permit or was it like just a recommendation from the German gov't? sorry i know this comment has nothing to do with this video just really need help.
Since there won't be any life in Germany videos anymore, could uaybe do a video in which ur only talking german? Weil es mich interessieren würde wie dein deutsch nach 5 Jahren in Deutschland ist.

We just became witness of you becoming an adult, Sir!
Great video, really well said :) Watched it together with Stefan, and we're excited to see where you take this channel!! Looking forward to more videos...whatever you decide to do :D
+Wanted Adventure thank you!!! Hopefully our paths will cross again. :)
Awww, that's so sweet of you! I hope your paths cross again.

It wasn't all about life in Germany, it was about Sam Walton doing fun things, exploring.

Take your privacy, people who do not understand, forget them. thanks for sharing, means a lot to me! Enjoy!!!!!!

Do what you want on TH-cam, have fun! I actually really enjoyed your car video!
I'm really excited to see the new things you want to do :)

You're way too smart for your age. And that's a compliment. I wish I had been that smart back then.
+Secret crush on glam :3 thank you! I don't feel very smart most of the time. ;)
You do you Sam. I will look forward patiently for more content. Oh, and good luck with the upcoming semester!
+MrW8898 thank you! A wee bit scared. But I will live. 🙌🙏
I enjoyed your videos about LiG, listening to your thoughts and experiences and I'm curious about your future projects. Have fun with them, then your viewers will have fun, too!

I figured you would be ending this series when you moved back to the States. It's hard to vlog about life in Germany when you're in the Carolinas. Lol I'm awaiting your next adventure. 👍🏻👍🏻
+estherdestiny you right. Life in Germany is hard to do when you're 4500 miles away. 😂
Of course I'm gonna stick around! :D
Don’t believe in yourself. Believe in the me that believes in you! You really are a media genius, Sam. I’m sure whatever you think to upload will get me to click and watch it.
Sam, I found your channel in my recommendation, I got hooked by LIG but I stayed for your personality. So whatever you will upload whenever, I'll watch.
I am very good at speaking German, even though I’ve never been to Germany. I would love to visit Germany.
Speakin' of!!!!! Wrapping up the life in DEU? AHHHHH.....
Farewell Sam Walton, man. Good luck for your next experiences.
And of course, the unavoidable greetings from Germany.
freaking awesome advice

+fsmasterjohn Thank you so much! :D
I subscribed because of Life in Germany but i will stay even if the series is ending.
Just keep doing what you are doing.
+Amon Tognetti thank you! :D
such a mature video. have a great time with whatever you do!
Well, before i leave, i gotta wait what's going to come. Could be good.
SamWaltonMan is so catchy though!!! :(
Heavens to Betsy! I dont even know what to do with this news.
Ima stick around, I may have came for the Germany but I stay for the Samany.
Every Sam Walton can be a 'Sam Walton', but only YOU can be the one and only 'SamWaltonMan'!!!
Don't become 'Twix', stay 'Raider', stay true to your brand!
You live(d) in germany, i know you get the reference ;P
+mrnice81 I'm giving it a hard thought. ;)
Im sad you're ending your LIG series. 😓😭 Gonna miss those! Always looked forward to a new LIG.
+Sarah Peña I'm a little sad too. Hopefully what's to come will be equally exciting. :)
i'm stickin around!!! haha

Wait what?! Shooting stars cannot be outdated it cant be😢
But i have never seen a hand flying through space good one
You don't have to formally end/retire the Life in Germany videos. You can still upload whatever you like and leave that as an option for the future if you have some content that fits it. Never say never.
No hard feelings at all and still subscribed.

Any plans for coming back to Germany after college for work?
Very sad, LIG was a cool series, SamTheMan was cool, ordinary sucks. PS: I'm 59 and your videos really nailed Germany. WE KNOW BETTER! LIG is history! AAGGHHHHH!!!
