I met a girl in Sweden 

Quick announcement: this will be the second to last video from my gap year that I post on the channel! I'm headed to college quite soon and will begin to transition back to content primarily focused on my life at school (wohoo). I have one more video up my sleeve that I'll be posting later this month, but it's a bittersweet feeling to be closing this chapter and starting the next. So many incredible things are on the horizon! I hope you're all doing well (: Much love, Talk soon, Max

This message hits so hard Max. No matter where you are or your situation if you can find and surround yourself with the right people and create a positive environment you'll find happiness anywhere, it's not just dependent on what place is statistically "better". I'm really beginning to learn in my own life that it's possible to build the world you want to live in by surrounding yourself with likeminded people that share the same goal. Incredible work as always.

I totally agree. The more you travel, the more you realize that we are all the same. We do struggle and suffer for different things, human basic things. There might be some aspects of our country that we would like to change, but we still love it, we love where we come from and is up to us to make that change possible. P.S. Max, in the last shot, everyone can see the name and number of the girl. Let's hope no one pranks her.

Something that I’ve been struggling with for a long time is just accepting the fact that those mundane experiences won’t happen again. To often I find myself wishing I could be back at certain places, at certain times, with certain people. Like, I wish I could just travel back and time and be in those moments once again. And Im coming to the realization that that’s why I need to be so present in these moments. Cause those moments can never be recreated in the exact same way, And i think there really is something beautiful about that.

Seeing Max grow up with us is truly a one of a kind experiences I've had. Being his age and growing up with him, patiently waiting for his videos is a, let's be honest here, one of the smallest parts of my life, but it's there! Max, I don't want to be cheesy, but you truly are an inspiration to a big part of people and I think some of us can't thank you enough for what you've already done, what you're doing and what you will hopefully continue doing in the future. These small experiences are exactly what we love you for. And here I am, saying that you truly are representing the greater and better part of humanity and simply thank you for that!

The vibe, the reality, the message what else is in this amazing video, the editing, and so on, however, I love how max shows us something that most young people are finding and even learning. So thank you so much for sharing it. The great feelings from Colombia.

Followed you for the Stanford application and stayed because it really looks like you know how to live. I love your reflection and you really are being great ideas and values to the table. Keep it up!

Your vids are always so soothing and inspiring! Keep going max!

Hey Max, I really resonated with your thoughts about the uniqueness of the moments we go through and that we should always live them to their fullest extent because they only happen once. I’ve been watching your videos for years and I just want to congratulate you on your content but mostly on your ability to enjoy time and experiences by yourself. I hope you continue to grow, but never forget your essence. I look forward to meeting you one day. Um abraço de Portugal. Francisco

Honestly your videos Max are always on point and as a teenager myself i had a lot of problems after finishing high school and i decided to take a gap year too and it happened to be on the same time as you, so since then your videos really reaally helped me 💖, knowing that am not alone and that's okay cuz it's just the process of growing up . also this video especially coming from a country which's not much developed , we tend to compare ourselves with other countries a lot which leads mentally to a lot of self doubt , unhappiness and a lot of toxic comparision , but it's very true that happiness comes from ourselves first and from happy and kind people surrounding us to create our own little bubble so that we can live and get going . Thank you Max for sharing your life adventures with us , we support you and love you always ❤❤

you making so many questions about society and your relation with that because you're smart person. Glad you're reaching sort of balancing because we all have to live all this without the worry of missing something and just enjoing it as best as possible. Thanks for your videos, you together of all us are grewing up so much, as person. I'm watching this in a warm afternoon of this late august and everything could be really nice if only we want to make it or watch it better. Love your videos, keep sharing with us anything you feel. ciao Max.

Really enjoyed the video. It captured a true sense of the maturity you have gained. Your self-awareness and your willingness to clearly articulate it is a testimony to your growth. Keep going brother and always seek your best. P.S. I was distracted by the blue nail polish on your pinky finger..... Much love back at you. Bill

I wanted to say all your gap year videos are so amazing! The experiences you have are so inspiring and I guess it feels so human, raw and real which is something that the world needs and appreciates. Tbh I feel like all your videos are great, I guess what I mean is it conveys your own human experience and the fact you have the courage to film yourself, self reflect and revealing them on YT is something you should be proud of, don't understimate your courage! Also congrats on going to college, from my experience as a current college/uni student, my advice is try and meet new people and study hard, ur gonna be great.😀 I'm glad you are enjoying these gap yeat experiences because these memories are once in a lifetime.

Amazing Movie Max!! Thanks for instilling value in your videos! I always have so much to take away with me! Hope you're having a great day!

Gorgeous video, you'reso inspiring. I leave to live in Scotland for 4 months in 2 days. I'm planning to travel a lot of the UK and Scandinavia in that time. You make to so excited, and I can't wait to vlog my experience for my channel 💜

Another quality piece of work Max. Always look forward to your videos. I think you nailed it when you said happiness equates to less suffrage. There’s more than enough wealth in the world. I just wish people could spread it around so less fortunate people could feel more secure in life

The message you tried conveying hits hard. Happiness is just a state of one's mind and not merely dependent on the place where you live or what your current situation is. These measurements they use to compare people’s lives in different nations don’t portray an actual image of how each individual’s life is. Being humans, we all face struggles and have our problems. Everyone should create their happiness and not rely on anyone to do so. Don't forget to make people smile as you never know what they're going through :)

Really appreciate the effort has taken....Keep doing, keep growing.i love it💙💙💙💙

Max you are the best. Your videos always inspire me to be better and explore my true self and bring it out in the open.

Max im a big fan of yours your style of editing is really great man and your really cool 😎 hope youre doing well!!

9:50 is a really interesting concept. the saying “you create your own luck” could be applied here in the sense that if you were to go to Denmark, the odds of you finding happy people may increase depending on your situation. It’s so easy to get caught in the cycle of what’s “the most” or “the best” but really, you personally have the single biggest impact on what people you end up around, however I think the environment you place yourself in is also a significant factor.

I really admire your editing skills ❣️

Beautiful work as always Max!

The beauty of doing ANYTHING that is special, or a one time event, is that you MUST live in the moment because after it happens, it’s over, and you can’t get that same sense of wonderment as in that very spot, that very instance. While everything we do is brief,if we take the time to explore, do, try, without hesitation, we build up memories that we will treasure all the rest of our days. Create experiences that no school can give us. And in the case of you traveling to so many places, you get to see how parts of the of world live, and appreciate their lifestyle, from what you have. I wish I could make that journey again. So much more out there to see! ❤️❤️

Wow! Amazing video! I also loved the song track!! 😎💯💯

Such a beautiful video! Well done Max!

I always thougt while watching Elliot Choy college vlogs, how awesome would it be to have Max Reisinger college vlogs... Great video by the way!

you're the best Max! i can't explain this any further ❤❤

Lol, the "I'm very sleep deprived" after that weekend we had made me crack up, really nice video & great tunes

talking about that fear of missing out or always searching for something greater… wow

Young Fella you are truly inspirational, I love you passion on mental health.

Second to last video on your Gap Year Journey!?!! That’s crazy Max, it’s been such a beautiful ride. I’ve really enjoyed how well you’ve documented your traveling experiences but I can’t wait to see your back to school videos👌

Think you might have a gift for personal story telling through slow video and epic scoring, Max 👍

Max u are so inspiring💪 I really enjoy watching👀 u.

Just as I was kinda thinking about other cultures and stuff, I really felt what you said. Maybe we are overwhelming ourselves with the thought of missing out and there is more to see, but maybe there isn't. Or even you may be missing out many things that happen in your surrounding bubbles (as you mentioned) while pondering over what happens there and this place... Love your narratives, good luck with the new chapter you are about to begin

Bruv's having the best life living in Europe Enjoy it mate,you deserve it

Good to see you Max . For what its worth I live the poorest metro area in America and we stay fairly happy . I think it depends on the person .

By travelling to Guatemala, I realized that even people who live in shacks and who don’t have a lot are some of the happiest, most content, and culturally rich people. I think the biggest thing that creates happiness here is community, and this really shows that money and physical items aren’t the most important in life.

I know that Max said "it's nice knowing that i'll never get back to those moments" but it made me sad

Your cinematography is getting very good.

Max dripped out in the A24 Everything Everywhere All At Once shirt haha okay anyways I really liked the message in this one and I always asked myself if I lived (insert any beautiful place) would I be happy or would I just get used to it. Not sure if I’ll have the answer to that anytime soon but appreciating where you live now and surrounding yourself with the right people is the way to go. That can make any place great if you ask me. Also I’m curious about your college follow up bc I’m just on my indefinite gap year at this point haha and another point of view sounds nice.

Next time could you come to Southamerica and visit Peru and Paraguay? I'd be more than happy to show you around. I think that this places are one of the most beautiful but have lots of misconceptions.

5:18 i used to have this idea sometimes when i travel and see nice people or couples and you just reminiscing what is their life right now

ur editing style is just phenomenal.

You look glamorous with eye shadow makeup and nail polish 💅

Amazing video as always!

My name is Zakaria, I'm from Morocco🇲🇦, I don't understand English very well, but this video I love because it touched something from my heart. I listened to it from start to finish. I didn't feel the time, but I got the message that you wanted to give us and I hope you find happiness wherever you are

I'm a college student in Vietnam. I love your videos which help me a lot get through my teenage years. Enjoying my times, facing to metal problems, feeling empty inside sometimes, learning, crying, accepting, failing, reaching hard to find myself. The most interesting thing of life is always moving, moving and moving around, forgeting about our pasts for a moment, stop having more future expectations, just being alive and grateful for our bodies, our lives but also moving forward. I hope u all the best, Max!!!! - from Viet Nam.

This might be quite a bit weird.. But on the last monologue I kinda thought you'd be the perfect friendship match with someone I know haha. I have a friend who's Pennsylvania born and raised but half German and living here since 2015. And the thing is your way of thinking, the creative interest in videos, the topics and also your upbringing and the type of person your mom seems to be for you literally matches him and his way of life by like 95%. Like the little insecurity about things mixed with great consciousness about everything you come across, seemingly having great interest in people and cultures and sociology and also your own mental health and enjoying in-depths conversations... It feels like you're his little brother or best friend hahahah. I know it's weird, but it just struck me xD

Good luck Max!!!!!

Thanks for this!

Love that last song!

Great job max! Starting to take my RU-vid channel serious in September. Any tips regarding scheduling content?

The music work is superb

I loved your chanel, Max.

most aesthetic vlog I"ve ever seen ! 😍

how am I this early! like what?? already know that this video is about to be amazing Max! :)

Ahhh you used the song at the end of the video 💞

YOUR'E JUST AMAZING😍

You mentioned that every people can be happy and its not realated to only European countries. Im asian and i live in iran. Its really good that i understand that you have this kind of thinks❤️

I find myself very close to the thoughts and refelctions you share, I have a question for you: you talked about knowing you'll never gonna go back there realistically but it feels nice knowing that you were so present there and in that moment. How do you manage to actually be present in those moments? I find it super hard to enjoy every moment i live, it's something that pervades me constantly, this feeling of not having been 100% present in the things i've done. It would be amazing to know your point of view about this. Also the travel anxiety you talk about, I always feel this urge to comeback at every place or good experience I have, it's like I can never get enough of them, how did you solve this?

I agree that happiness is what you surround yourself with and the attitude you choose. I also agree that European countries that do not have to worry about the cost of Healthcare bankrupting them or not being able to afford basic needs like housing and food do make people happier.

very beautiful sunset, I also like cycling in the evening

love your videos bro
