Bit Of An Emotional Update (Raw Moment) 

Brother I do not need to tell you that my house is your house, and you already have a place to be here with us and of course a place to eat and a family to belong to!

P.S. Little DISCLAIMER... This is not a cry for help nor a plea for financial assistance, it's purely just sharing gratitude I felt in the moment and appreciating it for what it is. I have a couple things in the pipeline that should help with the financial aspect of this journey. Thanks for the concern for all who have asked. Y'all are the best! -------- **UPDATE:** -------- Based on the overwhelming support and request for my Paypal and Patreon links, I've attached them below. I'm still figuring out the Patreon side of things to know what extra value I can offer my patrons, but I'm open to suggestions. It is truly my dream to be compensated for doing what I love, and I understand that you (the viewers) would like to help with it. I thank you deeply for the opportunity you are about to give me to do just that. I am humbled... Patreon: www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=40279427 Paypal: www.paypal.com/paypalme/paradisecinema

A simple camera in the hands of a master is opening a new and beautiful world to thousands. You’re an inspiration

I know you’re not asking but you should STILL start a patron account. Currently, I don’t see one. People will support you just because they enjoy your content and your vibration. Put up a cash app/PayPal or something. Allow the Universe to bring increase through kindred spirits and hearts that are truly filled with love and light. There are more beautiful souls on RU-vid than you can imagine. Many are on your page already. Allow people to bless you if they choose. Blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💜💜💜

I love to see how you just talked yourself into a better vibe. I'm trying to do the same as you but! I'm 67 and I can tell you it will get better. Plus! Lol I have 12 subscribers. You will look back on this someday as just a brief time in your life. Good luck! Your hair is fine.

You are a lovely soul. I an elder woman close to 80 and living alone on 7 acres in the Midwestern part of the US. Years ago I did film work - long before digital. I used my graduate degree in film to create pieces for social change in a South American country for 8 years, eventually teaching those skills to community activists. They learned how to edit in the camera and to edit beta to beta (vhs to vhs). Most important they learned how to use that tool to draw attention to the needs in their communities. Here and there I would have a bit of contract work and that would pay for my community work. I was in a country with much violence but I was so fortunate to grow personally and to know, as you are experiencing, the very best people I have ever known. You have a lovely spirit that communicates well in this medium. I have been in COVID quarantine because of my age for half a year now. I live in a country with much upheaval, sorrow, and growing violence. Though I have a small column in our local paper, I am searching for just what my calling is at this point in my life. My family lives very far from me. I am also thankful for just this moment - for this opportunity of reflection, for my vegetable garden, the stream, my donkeys, my dog. I stumbled on the Nomatic Movement, two such authentic young people, and that is how I stumbled on you. I have no counsel for you. You know just what to do and how to listen. I note your very good eye in some of the new angles of the Nomaticmovement. Your crossing with them in your journey was just right. Be well. I look forward to seeing how you grow in this time of so much change.

I'm not sure why you don't like your voice, we love it and God gave it to you for a reason...so keep entertaining us with content. Have a great weekend!

We're from the Nomadic Movement channel. Love your video. I am a new subscriber and look forward to future videos.

You absolutely never know why you are there until you do. I love that you are channeling your heartache into creativity. There’s something about Panama that needs you 🇹🇹 🇵🇦

Outstanding..!! You have discovered the secret to survival. We fail when we decide we will. You have never given up. At your lowest point you decided to hold on to what you loved and to share it with us and also what really moved me you expressed gratitude.

Thank you for sharing Rich, happy birthday fellow Leo! This is a tough time for filmmakers, and at the same time, as you are showing, a time for immense community and gratitude. Thank you for opening up and connecting.

Stay positive, safe and strong 💪

Life is a roller-coaster, you will always have ups and downs. Stay positive and life will always open a path forward. Best of luck!

You produce content for us to enjoy and watch. Don't be ashamed or afraid to accept help. It's a quid pro quo. You create and we consume.

So happy to see yet another vlog from you. Its ok sharing your dark moments. That takes alot of courage but at the end result its about growth. Just want to let you know through every tough challenges comes another experience of growth and sucess. Congratulations for already reaching over 7,000 subscribers that alone speaks for itself. Continue this path and im here to support this journey for you great and talented.

Gratefulness brings peacefulness. Everything will work out for you my friend.

Just shared your channel in Facebook, I hope you find a few subscribers from that, and I'm with the other person that said that you'll be my first Patreon account that I'll support. I really enjoy your content about my home country. Keep up the good work. You have a beautiful and peaceful spirit.

Thank you Rich for putting your authentic self out there. God is guiding your footsteps, hang on my friend!

2020 seems like it's a horror movie for most of us, however, life is happening around us and will continue to happen because we are here for a reason & purpose. I believe your talent will open the right doors to walk in. All your heart's desire will come to fruition. CLAIM IT & BELIEVE IT. THROW IT OUT INTO THE UNIVERSE

Thank you very good video.

Happy Birthday. I so understand what you are going through. I was at my lowest for the first couple of years in Panama, not due to Panama and not just financial. Panama healed me. It is magical. Sent you a gift for your birthday to pass on some of the blessings I gained while there. The people there are generous and loving. Reach out to them. Accept with love and gratitude and you will be amazed at what flows your way. I was. Blessings to you.

Most of us are in need of hair care. When this is over, the barbers will be busier than the bars!

The universe always strips us of the things we believe we need and opens the doors for us to experience and grow in the things our authentic selves truly do need. I understand gratitude in a time of physical angst....but focus on your path and things do work out. You are an amazing talent and you have much to say and share that the world wants to hear. Stay on your path...we are walking it right beside you 💕

Well let's just say that the fact that RU-vid recommended your video to me for no apparent reason, I don't watch travel videos at all unless I'm going to a place and want to research, means that the RU-vid Gods have picked you and you're probably about to get a LOT of views. Your title (and quite frankly your dapper looks lol) drew me in. Your video is being recommended. Lots of luck to you!! I think you'll be just fine.

Bro this was very raw and know you are as strong as your support system and know you have a lot of ppl in your corner supporting you, praying for you and sending you positive energy always!!!

You're awesome!

Your passion and sheer wonder at making these videos is really contagious firstly I really love watching you and the videos you produce your voice you've got to get over that because it's amazing on its own I expect you could do voice overs with that crooner lol Secondly this channel just keeps getting better you're amazing shots in Panama of the drone footage wow is all I can say because it is just wonderous all of it I have a question for you ...are you staying in Panama or is your base near the nomadic movement with Kaylee and Jordan ? Finally much loved you you have a big heart and an absolutely massive Talent that we are very blessed honestly to be able to look upon because you are so wonderful sharing it with us thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you from Genevieve in the UK

Bro, we all have moments that we are down. You gonna get through this roller-coaster and be stronger at the end of it and we will be here to support you through it. I'm sure your RU-vid channel is gonna snowball in something big. And let me tell you this, you're gonna be the first RU-vidr I'm gonna support on patreon. You deserve it and great things will come to you. Love from the netherlands and happy birthday in advance✌️🎉🌴

I'm glad you decided to upload. I am loving getting to know the you that is real❤ I pray for your success and mostly happy journeys🙏

We're here for you, Rich. These are seriously challenging times but continue to have faith in your talents and keep counting your blessings, even at your lowest points. We got you.

Its my birth month to bro... I've been really busy back here at home. Don't worry take your deep breaths everything will be fine. Wishing you all the best

Your videos showing Panama are beautiful. I think you should make prints (metal prints are beautiful). You could use a web site already established, eventually having your own site. You could also offer them for sale on this blog. You have a gift to show the beauty around you. Happy Birthday! Keep up with your videos, they are wonderful!

Transparency and bravery at its best. Thank you for showcasing parts of the human spirit and your resiliency and gratitude. #trinistrong

The fact that you’ve been able to attract so much attention in such a short time speaks volumes of your work. Keep going, don’t stop and don’t give up. Your attitude determines your altitude! It will all fall into place.

Thanks for sharing, I'm glad your keeping your head up and taking life one day at a time. I'm not sure I could do it. Stay positive you'll look back later in life and think ... Dam that was so cool.

Just went you some funds . Will send more once able. Blessings my bro!!

I think we are all about going through some kind of low point right now in some kind of way because of this Covid-19 situation. It's been about 6 months already and unfortunately some places have deal with it harsher than others...but I heard that Panama will start opening flights to more countries and tourism by next month. I hope that you stay positive and healthy. This 💩 has been rough on everybody one way or another. Don't let it get you!!!! And remember you're not all alone. Kake, Jordan, kaleigh, and Rodrigo...they are good people and will never want to see you down and under. And most of all....God loves you!!!!❤

Rich, you have such great talent! Your videos have been such a wonderful blessing during this pandemic. You have given me such beautiful pictures that give me great joy during this pandemic. I live in the U.S.A. and I have been to Panama once. You are showing me so much that I did not have an opportunity to see. Don’t sell yourself short on your talent. I would love to purchase some of your work in photographs. Thank you for sharing your gratitude that you are feeling. We all need to remember that we don’t need much in life to be happy.

Thanks for sharing! I ❤ I believe gratitude is the way we can successfully navigate difficult times in our lives. We all struggle at times and it can be hard to see through the darkness but being grateful for the people and things we do have shines a light to guide us through. Much love. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Wow - so many messages of support. I have moments like you're having. At 65, I look back and see I grew more during times of struggle than times of ease. You likely know this already but I wanted remind you. Life is like a roller coaster, times of up and times of down - just keep on truckin' dude - that's what evens it out. Looks like you have a good number of people who support you here, don't forget about us and give us the opportunity to help you.

You have the gift of sharing and you are insperation to many. I have been away from home for 24 years this month...... you will get through it 😊

Love that raw humility and have been following your work too. Stay strong Rich. From Tanzania

Stop and smell the roses. Enjoy life. Not just patreon but Also find out what you must do to get people to join your channel. It's another option. You make me want to hug you and take a shot at doing your hair. You still look great. Try to relax. It feels like you were pretty worried for a while. Take care of your health. Panama must have a way for you to get your teeth worked on. Investigate it. Don't let it go too long or it could affect your health. Breath and now you have a plan just focus. 🤗

I just wanted you to know: My husband and I live in Scotland, but were supposed to be shopping for a home in CR, but, you know, Covid. We are deeply grateful for our home here, its beauty, its wonder. But when we have low times, like now, we love turning to see your videos. We're always checking - 'hey, has Rich uploaded anything?' My husband is currently in the hospital and, I know, will be happy to see this upload, and inspired to see you finding the gratitude, even through the struggles. Thank you for sharing. Peace & love to you...and, ya, set up that Patreon. Let us give back a little of what you give us.

You are so very talented. BE strong Gratitude is good. I wish I could give. But I am an elderly rubber tramp on social security and occasional payment for my art.

I'm so glad that you enjoy making these videos because I love watching them. You are a gifted videographer.

Hey you got this God put you in Panama for a reason... Don't give up the light at the end of the tunnel soon come! This too shall pass... You are amazingly talented things will work out... The storm comes before the calm! The dream will come thru it's even bigger than Paragrant it's the real deal! Give it time!

Just keep smiling, and you'll come out of your funk OK. I've been up and down many times in my life, made and lost fortunes - and I do mean fortunes. I supported 40 families when I was in business, when I should have just thrown in the towel. I didn't take a salary for ten years. It was tough, but somehow I survived. You will too. Good luck!!

We all have moments like you are going through. Moments that we go through seem to work towards making life decisions.

Happy birthday!

Life is what you make of it and its evident you are doing exactly that! Good for you! Keep up the good work!

Donated! Trust the process... You've got this! 🖤

I actually literally looked at your birthday on a calendar today and wondered if you'd be able to get back home by then and how you were doing. Stay strong, stay safe and you're in my thoughts and prayers cuz.

You have a beautiful voice! It pulls people in to the story or adventures you share.

Bless my brother. You will pull through. The Most High will guide you and blessings will flow.

You are such an amazing human ❤ 💖 everything happens for a reason 💜

Being grateful is key. Stay strong my friend and pray on whatever is on your mind. Just FYI, I wouldn’t mind buying you a coffee. I follow several RU-vidrs who link their PayPal or Venmo. That way we can show you gratitude for your incredible vids and hence, buy you a cup of coffee. Everyone needs a hand every once in awhile. 😊

Birthday's aren't always easy...stay positive and trust in the Lord and he will give you many presents, XOXO

We wouldn't be here and watching your Video's if we didn't love you !! You're SO SO talented,and I have a feeling you have many more close, caring friend's than you'll ever know :) I'll pray for you to have strength to over come these hard times

Wishing you all the best. Love seeing Panama through your videos.

You are talented, handsome, and you have a fabulous voice! I especially loved the drone footage of Panama City! My husband and I have dreamed if retiring there. So trust in God, use your talent and tell us all about what you learn and experience in Panama. God has lead you there for a purpose. And I hope you have a happy birthday. Go spend some time with Jordon and Kaylee. They are great people and will lift your spirits.

We are here for you always. Give us options to help you. I want to help! You are doing great your work is outstanding and speaks for itself. There is no doubt you are worth investing in. If I could send you money through this video I would! Hahaha I Enjoy watching you and hearing you. Keep your head up. You got this!

Keep your head up, it's amazing that you have so many subscribers after such a short time. A testament to your talents.

It is a different year for all of us. It is good you have a positive feeling at a low time. Good luck and good fortune to you. Keep making videos.

When it comes to things that you were used to having in Trinidad, such as products for your hair; you make due with what's available. Sure there are things that will take some getting used to, but that's part of taking on a new journey for your life. Don't be discouraged, just look around you and see other people making life with much less than what you have. I'm a Panamanian that left here in 1984 and came back in 2015 with 3 suitcases. This was decision based purely on Faith and Trust in God. And I'm here now with a great job, my family and a whole heap of wonderful friends that God has placed in my life and have helped me get this far. You will rise again my brother, just look up. Much love.

Just sent you a little something on PayPal. Not the richest person in the world, but hey, I couldn't imagine going through it. It just means I have to not be materialistic about things for a week ya know. Stay strong my friend.

We're here for you Rich 💕 So glad that you've come onto this platform so that we could see you (miss you loads obvsss) but I know that you're gonna get through this. Thanks for sharing all the same. Also, thanks for being a guy AND sharing this vulnerability.

Pls don't stop doing what your'e doing, God's got your back, keep pressing on, this is just a tiny piece of an amazing adventure for you, I believe the finances will turn around, keeping you in my prayer bro. 😙

Just know that , you are no different to anyone who goes thru ups and downs and its ok to share your story if you choose too, sometimes getting it out can be the best for of self help , there is no shame in asking for help cuz you clearly deserve it from the videos you produce and is the reason why we come back to watch it......Can you do a video showing the difference in using the sony a7sii , the gopro hero 4 and your google phone pixel 3 xl and what is your reasons for using them .... thanks , One love.

Also Happy birthday! Mine is in a few days as well gl

Life is always a journey!!!! You will find your way through!!! 💜🙏🏻

Keep your head up high bro. You are going to make it in Jesus name. Keep up the good content. I believe in you bro. Love from home. 🇹🇹

Watched the ads, everyone can watch the ads...it is a way to help right now.

Howdy from San Antonio, Texas. Great to hear from you again. Work on the spanish so you can talk to the locals on your vlogs. Would be fun to see a video of a walk around the town and some of the local shops.

Surround yourself with amazing people. People who bring you up and dump those who bring you down. If friends and family are pulling you down, move on! Its so hard to dump those who you love but its what people need to do to grow! Stay Strong!

Yo had no idea you weren't in trinidad. Sending my prayers. I'm not worried you will thrive.

You have surrounded yourself with good people, friends are very important especially in time of pandemic. Working hard humbles people, keep the faith, i see a beautiful future for you!

I just found you. I'm a 57 year old nana..that lives in tennessee in the us.. Omg where have you been hiding? Thank you for letting me see the world thru your eyes. Wow...you hold your head up high. You will be going places.. You have found your calling. Cant wait to watch the rest of your videos. God bless you sir. Your what utube needs..

Only 10 videos In Already headed for 10k subs ppl enjoy your content an they’ll support hold yah head bro no it’s easier said than done but things are headed on the upward side for u this video is so much Inspiration for someone like myself to hang in there an never give up in what u believe even if things not in your favor atm thanks 😊👊 #cheers

Things will get better my friend. You’ll look back on this season of you life and laugh one day

A blessed day to you, also a very Happy Birthday. Thank you for your honesty. It is refreshing. You are going through a Joseph process. This has to happen for you to fit the mould THE LORD has prepared for you. All will be well. You are on my prayer list. Do NOT fear. So many things to say but next time. You are being prepared. Blessings. All is WELL.

Hey bro I really know exactly what you going Tru ... I have gone through this exact experience about 4 yrs ago ... For this I always come here to the Dominican republic ... I under some stress here as well .. good things to come .. don't worry keep trusting yourself

Happy to Paypal you a small gesture, Rich, but also hope better moments are on their way.

Also I think Albert Camus referred to what you're feeling "the invincible summer within that burns through the harshest winter". Also, love youuuuu Rich * I'm literally crying but so happy that at least I can see you on here & that 1000s of people are going to support you! Love ya!

I appreciate how genuine you are. The more honest you are, the more you will be tested. I am constantly tested. I have been homeless twice as I had every thing taken from me and I have been blessed with abundance for not giving up. I work with my spirit team from the spirit realm who protect me, who love me without fail. My guide dedicated a song to me about 8 months ago..."When you love somebody" by the Bee Gees, to lift me up and show me a deep compassion.....it makes me cry every time I hear it. I am humbled. Call to your guide and the angels that will help you...and they will! I always have my guide with me and I get regular love and support by 3 arch types. We all have them around us. Because of free will, you have to let them know you want their help.

And it's at our lowest is when we can see growth because we now have no choice but to look up. I lost my mum in October 2019 and my Grandmother in February 2020 then into lockdown, got laid off.... but its all about starting up a brand new day! Thanks for sharing, would definitely subscribe to the Patreon if it helps given the circumstance. Trini vs Panama brought me here....my two fave places on this earth

Thanks for sharing. Takes guts to leave your home country for an adventure like you are living. You are at the perfect age to do this... hang in there... gratitude will uplift you! Best!

The world through your eyes and lens is fresh, exciting, vivid, and wonderful to behold. You have a gift and thank you for sharing. Sending you support in a tough time. Happy birthday away from home, friends, and family.

headstrong, Rich. I know things will look up now that the quarantine is opening up, opportunities will come and go, my friend. you ARE on top of Barú!! don't doubt it.

You are such a beautiful person and you have such a kind soul. I know it was difficult for you to share this with all of us but we truly appreciate it. Never give up trust me it will all work it's way out some how. We will always be here for you any time you need to let it out please don't be afraid to let us know how you are feeling. It matters a lot to us and we will always be here for you always

Digga can do... Cause Digga is a survivor.... This is what I call the becoming because through all this... you are going to become the best version of yourself.

and yet you did! May God be with you as walk him on your new journey. Keep your faith uplifting your continuity and those you love you most.Keep going m keep shinging dint give up! Let God take control for you , ask him he will answer you , belie me I know. Walk in you light of your happiness ,do what you love to do best..May God be with you and bless you always!. Stay safe , stay well you can always count on us!

Rich keep your faith and keep a positive attitude. I have had many ups and downs in my life and somewhere out of nowhere things do work out. You have many good friends that will help you along. You have so much talent. Your adventure videos are really well done. Keep up the good work and keep the faith that everything will work out.

Health is more important than anything, my friend. Chadwick Boseman was a rich man. "Money can't buy life." Bob Marley on his death bed.

This too shall pass! My mother always said to "give it 3 days" whenever I had a problem. Seems the ole gal knew something, because each time I took her advice, it was amazing what 3 days could do! Hang in there and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

You have an amazing voice. Happy birthday
