Why are you subtitling this? The man speaks incredibly clearly.

@j2das9684 4 года назад

I think they do that for everyone

@Letsgetjazzywithit Год назад

Hearing impaired individuals appreciate the subtitles.

Someone here wants to be off-ended.

I hear just fine but also like subtitles. Helps keep me engaged.

@lucasbiaggini 4 года назад

This is odd. I think you forgot the actual video and only uploaded the ad.

@dos-punks 4 года назад

This was great! Not sure why everyone’s being so negative :( It was short and sweet, helping give a sliver of insight into what a travel writer does in order to be more creative.

@daughterofgod4927 3 года назад

My thoughts exactly?🤨 I'm beginning to wonder of it's just me or is this world becoming so so cynical.

walk and observe = level 100 writer

@saaiesue5186 4 года назад

Further tips include: breathing, eating, drinking water and never wear socks in sandals. :P

@nerd_alert927 4 года назад

Then you've never been to the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. Wearing socks with sandals is a signature.

Every time I watch this video I get tears in my eyes. Obviously, those who are making negative comments still need some spiritual guidance. I wished to find out the musics they play on the background. They are really nice melodies.

@mauriciohuaman9688 2 года назад

The only thing bad about this video is that is too short. I get the idea so what's up with the negative comments?

@BMWS1000RRR 2 года назад

*I want to be free and travel* so I am researching on how to become a travel writer. I'm not the best when it comes to writing. but i want to express myself in some way and travel.

@yashraghav1485 4 года назад

@kiborakelly2192 4 года назад

The video was taken down yesterday evening (25.09), And reposted this morning Does somebody know what happened?

@desire-for-madness 4 года назад

I think it's because it recieved a lot of negative comments and because people were unhappy with the quality.

@tapestapes0 4 года назад

How about carry water and a light pouch with the country's currency in cash,comfortable shoes and a clear non planned path?

@user2144 4 года назад

*Meeting at Great Big News office:* Editor: Come in and take a seat. Right, I would like you to fly to the other side of the world, take a minute or two worth of footage of some guy who writes some stuff, and then fly right back. All clear? Journalist: Yes, understood. Editor: Great. Have it on my desk by Thursday.

Im from singapore and idk what to say man Whats wrong with our newly reopened raffles hotel just adverting themselves

@Lydus 4 года назад

This is just an ad for a super expensive hotel. You can do way better!

@sirmarisa 4 года назад

Tone the commercial down

@MrDvfdsv 4 года назад

communicate!

@mutaherazhar 4 года назад

Just like "snow is more snowier then before"

@josephbratcher2249 4 года назад

Huh, all the comments are so negative but I thought it was a good video. I like to make sure I do all those things when I travel. Walking instead of driving whenever possible, observing the natural lives of the locals rather than trying to force a certain experience, and reflecting or journaling later to better understand what new wisdom this different culture has to offer. Sure it was totally an ad for a hotel in Singapore but it was still a cool perspective from a seasoned traveler.

@kushkamble2027 4 года назад

tip no 1 be rich

@ambermore1 4 года назад

We are looking for real story, not an ad which affects our subconscious mind to be in Singapore. Let us decide that.

@GrumpyBombayite 4 года назад

A golden example of how NOT to do sponsored content.

@smsmsmsmsmsm9091 4 года назад

He filled 15 books with this shit?

@no_one_of_that_name_here 4 года назад

You should have left this video not available in my region, because now I watched the worst video ever on this channel. Not a Big Story but a Weak Ad.

@crtl5911 4 года назад

Don't walk, walk and walk in mexico or brazil or you will regret regret and regret...

Great Big Story I don’t remember subscribing to, their content is below average and it makes me mad now.

Bad

@mofire5674 4 года назад

This video was basically a whole lot of nothing. He has such a nice voice to actually give practical information on how to travel. Too bad instead we get romantic jargon.
