I was literally asking myself yesterday whether or not Shiey was okay as I hadn't seen anything from him in a while! Good to see that you are and I can't wait to watch this video!
Hi Shiey! So what is all that stuff you're worrying about? Tell us about it; I'm sure we can help ya with that! Don't you now that everything on earth is going to radically change very soon?
in a few thousand comments, i think mine will likely be lost, but there is an inexplicable relaxing vibe to all of your videos that always helps take me away from day-to-day stress and problems, very often i kind of daydream about being anywhere else, and your videos really express the freedom that i want to feel sometimes, but can't in a sense, everyone who is watching is also travelling with you, feeling as free as a human being can be, and for giving us an opportunity to feel truly unbridled freedom, thank you
There's something so peaceful about Shiey's adventures. Sometimes on the brink of death and most time just exploring places where humans have abandoned, it's so beautiful and peaceful.
This is probably the most I've heard shiey talk in any video and express his inner feelings and thoughts. Also I hope you get better and stronger, my friend. Wishing you luck :)
I think he used to do it a lot more in his older videos. Haven't watched all of the myself but I think you can read about his thoughts on reddit for example
Hi Shiey! So what is all that stuff you're worrying about? Tell us about it; I'm sure we can help ya with that! Don't you now that everything on earth is going to radically change very soon?
He's willing to take these risks to experience moments of true aloneness. He's most definitely sane and damn if he isn't appreciated by those of us who are unwilling to take those risks.
Sorry you’re going through a hard time, know that we’re always supporting you from afar. and we definitely feel what you’re feeling in those moments, those moments are the best thing about watching you :)
@@crdude806 Seems you watch these videos for the illegality and adventure, but some of us are also here for Shiey. Perhaps if you pay attention to what he says in some of the videos, you'd look at the situation differently :)
I really hope reading our comments ease your mind. We don't know what you go through, but know that a lot a people all around the world really appreciate you, who you are and what you do.
I always feel like I’m an adventurous person who’s travelled loads of places. Then I see your videos and see what actual adventurous people do lol. Love your content man, so exciting to watch
@@fm2theo865 MAN I wish but ...... reasons. Responsibilities, dependants counting on me, you know the stuff. Word to the wise, take advantage of the freedom and energy of youth.
I also feel like an adventurous person who's done so much stuff and visited loads of places. But then I realize that I've just watched all of Shiey's videos and lived through them :D
This dude is so captivating, when he talks, actually the vocabulary he uses makes me wanna hear...exactly what he says...I hope that the moments of clarity are gonna get more and more for you Shiey....thank you for being so real
I'm glad you're in Italy, and I think you'll be delighted in what Palermo, my city, has to offer with abandoned buildings. There is an abandoned chemical plant right next to my house, an abandoned baseball field, illegally built villas on a mountain where people go to make graffiti, a Coca Cola bottling facility that was going to be a multiplex cinema but now is rotting in the middle of town. There are also a lot of other things in the surrounding towns, and the list of urbex sites is way too long to write here.
I swear, everytime i see shieys upload, it's like, i am having such a relief feeling, when i watch those uploads i disconnect myself from outter world and just enjoy 20-40min of relaxation. Thank you for doing what you do man!
What slightly pissess me off though is that Shiey, as farr as I know, is the only one who does Urbex and traveling on his own like he does, I love his original and unique content, wish that someone else was making it too so that I could have more to watch.
Bro, you’re not alone man. I also suffer from depression, insecurities, and a true lack of faith and self worth. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like I belong here in life. Watching your videos, help me out, ALOT. It feels like I’m on these adventures with you bro. Keep your head up man. And keep doing what you do. I’m positive I speak for alot of people when I say, you are truly inspirational. I hope you’re feeling better Shiey. Stay safe bro.
Seeing the island i live in and recognising the places where i've been while being in your channel makes me smile, also thanks for letting me see all this places from a different view than normal.
@@v1n1c1u55anto5 it's a ball made of "leaves" of Poseidonia, it's a marine plant similar to algae, sea currents shape them like this and then they get washed up on beaches
I'm from Cagliari and the first building you have shown is what we call "Big Pencil" and it's a very famous hotel here. So happy you came here, hope you enjoyed!
@@yayo4nasal it was the "saint Elia" football stadium, where the cagliari calcio used to do all the training and also the matches, but over time it got worse, conditions speaking ,and the costs for the restructuration got so expensive that it was more economic to build a new one, so it's what they're doing.
@@elialai5082 Un compaesano che commenta sotto un commento di un cagliaritano sotto un video di shiey in Sardegna, questo si che è un crossover - quando nel 2022, dopo pandemie e guerre, credevi di averle viste tutte
@@marcmo7138 those fuzzy things are made up of fibers and other plant debris! Usually plants and other stuff that comes from the sea and get washed up and dry up on the shore, they're pretty common here in Sardinia.
It's great hearing you talk about yourself because I feel the same way about a lot of things. Much happier on my own and spending my time how I want. Growing up I moved around continuously and I've kind of learned to see friends and relationships as temporary. Haven't had a friend in 2 years at this point and I'm more relaxed about life than ever.
so true, i recently moved far away from where all my friends and connections were and ive learned that being alone is very freeing and almost magical sometimes
Friends have always just brought me drama, problems, and or get into a bad situation etc. Even if they're a goodie goodie. There is always baggage. They want something you have etc. You provide SOMETHING for them in some way, and if you stopped, they would too. People are also extremely rude and just not polite anymore. Someone always ends up saying something that makes me want to beat their a$$. Which I have done before, but nowadays, it's just not worth it anymore. Even my childhood best friend, we get annoyed with eachother if were together too much. So there's usually a large amount of time in between when we talk or actually ever hangout. Also, I'm a firm believer that if you want to achieve success and get your life the way you want it. Having a constant social life is a major distraction from all of that. To me it's just a distraction. Don't get me wrong, it's fun to go party with some people, mostly people you don't know, but when you do that with a crowd you are familiar with. It just isn't fun to me. People get sh*tty and want to act out etc. and your time can just be spent in much better ways. There are people who'd rather party or go clubbing instead of traveling and seeing history with your own eyes. Just seeing a new place. That's more exciting to me and you're going to learn a lot. They say bad things about being money focused but what else are you going to do? Live like a bum? Anyone who says they don't need money to be happy is a LIAR. Yeah, the money itself doesn't make you happy, but what you can do with it, will. Luckily I'm a pretty easily satisfied person so happiness isn't much of an issue for me as long as I have a roof over my head, food to eat, and maybe a little bit of weed to smoke. Yes I have my toys and material possessions but I don't NEED them, even though some do make me very happy. Also living on the water/beach. I couldn't live anywhere else. Has to be coastal.
@@tacticalmattress You have what sounds like a good life dude, and seems you appreciate it. Living on the coast must be nice, I’m currently kinda stuck in a grey city in the UK but like you have a roof, toys, car etc but life is monotonous. Need to spend more time out in nature!
Have been following him since the start, He’s not the type of dude to do that. He mainly does these trips for himself, I believed he’d have little interest in doing a podcast for people
Hey Shiey, just wanted to throw it out there that I think most of us do know how you feel in those moments where you're just looking over a view. We may only get 30 minutes or so of your trips but it's those quiet moments that I think a lot of us come for and we definitely appreciate you bringing us along with you.
That moment on the roof while he was cooking got to me. Hang on in there Shiey, you will work everything out. And remember all the people thay are here enjoy the thing you do and watch your videos with joy. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
I'm glad to see you checking out Sardinia as it seems that not many people get out there for a visit and it is cool to see your perspective on it... In my experience, the Italians are remarkably relaxed about people checking out abandoned places. I've never had any negative experiences while doing so myself. Your experience of hearing the sheep bells while at the abandoned mine made me laugh as several times when I have been checking out abandoned mines on Sardinia, I have had shepherds and their sheep around me.
This upload was difficult to find, seems like RU-vid doesn’t want us watching you but so worth it! Fantastic upload Shiey, and there’s a definite change in you. Hope you’re okay brother. Eager for part two.
Greetings from Finland Shiey, for a lot of us who feel ‘stuck’ in life your videos are so very much appreciated. Not many buildings here but sleeping out in the forest, up fells and hills is as good as it gets.
This trip feels the most personal one so far, so much of you just being happy and enjoying things, like I can just hear the happiness in your voice. Its really nice to see.
Yeah that part is chill, but maaan, when he was walking on the rim of the chimney I literally felt all my muscles tense up.. Find it amazing how he can do that without shitting bricks.
@@J-Kimble same. Ive seen all of his content and for some reason that shot is the one that made my palms feel weird and acidic. i watched it 3 times and felt the same palm sensation hahaha.
I feel like I really connect with you when you talk about being by yourself, having your problems but these trips alone help you figure stuff out. Solitude is incredible and so are you
I'm so glad you're okay. I know it's maybe a little silly to worry over someone I've never met, but I have been! I love your videos and the scenery, how peaceful and beautiful the sights are. I have mobility issues so your videos kind of allow me to travel in a way that I wish I could. Thanks for checking in, keep safe out there 💕.
These comments are really repetitive and pretty insulting. It’s basically telling him you don’t have faith in his abilities. I know you mean well by saying you were worried about him, but I doubt he appreciates it.
@@ventreal4292 there ain't no way u commented this he knows we are worried and he's okay mostly with the bullshit that's happening rnd the world rn pls chill he doesn't take it in this way at all
@@ventreal4292 how the fuck do you get that msg out of this? Stfu and let people care about him when people obviously care alot about him and want to make sure hes okay.
@@ventreal4292 just because we're worried don't mean we don't trust his abilities, we know he's capable, it's just a normal response to feel worried when you don't hear from someone in a few months. Why wouldn't he appreciate knowing that people all around the world cares about him? He even posts updates sometimes letting us know he's okay. Let people feel how they feel, you can't talk for Shiey cause you don't know how he feels about it. Just let people be.
You can hear how much you enjoyed yourself… especially when you said you know how to spot abandoned stuff… you hear the smile. Nice to see you are well, stay safe!
The anxiety i encountered when watching him climb up that tower! Wish i was this cool, calm & collected. Thanks for sharing your journey with us Shiey!
I’m from Sardinia just a heads up be careful where you tresspass in the countryside, there are a lot of angry farmers that will shoot at you, great video loved to see you in my homeland ❤️
Bullshit. This is not Mexico or the US, you can't legally carry a rifle if you're not in the police. People here only use guns to scare dogs or kill snakes, but i've never seen anyone killing random dudes.
@@TheAtomoh Citizens are allowed to own: up to three common firearms (usually handguns, but all firearms not using hunting calibers fall into this category, such as 10-gauge shotguns, or some .22 rimfire pistols and rifles); up to twelve weapons that have been classified as manufactured for shooting sports by the National Proof House; an unlimited number of hunting weapons (both rifles and shotguns); up to eight antique or historical weapons (manufactured before 1890); unlimited numbers of single shot muzzle loader replicas, for which no registration is needed; unlimited numbers of airguns under 7.5 Joules of muzzle energy, specifically approved by the Ministry of Interior, which require no registration as well. Ammunition is also regulated. While each licensed individual can keep 1500 rounds of hunting ammunition, only 200 rounds of handgun ammunition are allowed. A license to store additional 1500 rounds of pistol ammunition can be obtained, provided specific requirements are met. Ammunition purchases must also be registered.

@@chrisserfass8635 he travels around Europe and I am pretty sure he has been though Ukraine before, I think people just don’t want him to get stuck in the wrong place wrong time.
It's nice to see you visit and explore my island, see places I know (like Sant'Elia's stadium) and others visible to the eyes of a few. I just wanted to give you a warning that you risked a lot in the countryside. When you hear some sheep-bells it is better to stay as far away as possible, the shepherds here do not take well the strangers of any kind on their land, they can safely think that you are a cattle thief and some may even shoot or unleash their sheepdogs, and if you don't find the shepherds you may find their dogs and I don't know at this point which one is best to find. Probably none of them. You've been lucky the shepherd wasn't around at that time, but if he was you would've risked quite a bit. However, I'm glad you enjoyed what you saw, and I'm glad to be able to see it from your perspective too. There are a lot of ghost towns and abandoned buildings to visit even in my area (in the province of Nuoro), when you happen to come back here I hope you will visit them and enjoy the view :)
As an italian, can't wait to see what Cagliari's new ground will look like! The old one was pretty impressive but very weak to salty water, corrosion was mainly the cause of it's planned demolition
@@sparkidee me neither lol, i just noticed today after watching the vid that Cagliari are now playing in a totally different stadium and they haven't renamed the old one
When I visited Sardina two years ago, we went to a ghost town called "Gairo Vecchio" - Floods basically destroyed the city. But it so worth checking it out. It's in the mountains of sardina, and the scenery is just beautiful. I whish you could check it out. You'd definately love this place.
I watched 9 minutes of this so far and I just felt that I needed to pause real quick. I really can't really explain the feelings I go through while watching your vids shiey. I live it with you, I climb with you, I explore it with you. You're literally life changing. It's actually like if your content was my home, my safe spot. I can only thank you deeply for the stuff you put out here. The most sincere thank you!
@@xBINARYGODx He was in a now literal war zone 2 years ago. If he decided to visit Prypiat again like a month ago, he could've gotten himself in some real trouble just like that.
@@TheBasti05 Russia was surrounding Ukraine long enough for any foreigner to know to GTFO of there. I like to hope that Shiey is streetwise enough to recognise risks like that and avoid them.
Shiey I hope you know how many people, including me, you inspire. I'm sorry you are feeling down, I truly hope it gets better very soon. Amazing video as always, i feel very inspired to go explore some places I have had on my mind for a while. I started doing urbex thanks to you, which is something I wanted to do since I was in middle school, but never found the courage. And I also plan on doing urban climbing, but I need to gain some strenght first, haha. So thank you so so much, you deserve all the best in this world.
i actually liked that he was able to share with us that he’s going through something, it’s a weird feeling and that sounds obscure but it takes something to actually tell someone how you’re feeling
You're a legend for visiting Sardinia. It's the island where I descend from and it's stunningly beautiful. Also, I'm glad you're alright, I was asking myself when you'd upload.
Thoroughly enjoyed. For someone working 9-5, 5 days, 52 weeks of the year, these videos are my escape. I feel the same calm when you're sat high up, showing us the scenery. Its good to hear your thoughts but also not necessary - could just watch in silence and be happy.
I deal with a lot of mental issues myself, and doing urbex / traveling helps me significantly think about things. I've been trapped at home for a few years now, though, so I enjoy watching you go through these adventures. Gives me a chance to experience it without too much anxiety
I'm sardinian! I lived 5 years in Cagliari and loved this! Btw it's almost two years I follow you, You've been such an inspiration for me! I discovered your channel during 2020 quarantine, and I felt free while watching you!
When Shiey said at 21:10 "Through mannerisms[...]I don't always have to express verbally" I understood what he meant and said to myself "Yes, it really is like that" Then he replied "Yeah, exactly" That was so meta
The sound of the birds is so soothing at the beginning, versus the terrifying view of how high up you are and thin the space for your footing as you circled that thing.
19:20 "I swear this trip isn't sponsored by Fiat" hahahah good cause i was starting to wonder. Glad you're doing okay! I love your videos! They really are an escape for so many of us that can't get out. Some of us are trapped and your videos provide so much exposure to roads less traveled and sights rarely seen!
shiey, i think i know how you feel. Im at that confusing point in my life too. Exploring has helped me sort some things out within my self a bit. And watching your videos makes me feel less alone.
a few info about the stadium: you saw that 2017 calendar because the pitch itself was used up until that year and people used to seat in provisional stands built over the athletics track in 2002. Therefore, offices, the jail and dressing rooms of the old stadium were still in use in 2017 but not the old cement standigs, last used in 2002
Keep on keeping on man. Respect for sharing your recent feelings. At times we're alone, but we're all in this weird experience of life together. You got this.
wow, this is the first video of yours I've seen. never heard of you or this place. the way you talk and express yourself is so intriguing and even moving. makes me want to conquer my anxieties, say fuck it, and explore places alone. keep doing what you do man, it's inspiring
Can’t wait to watch this one, only a few minutes in and I’m already loving it like usual. My mum and I were wondering if you were okay as it’s been a little bit since you’ve posted, great to know you are safe! And yes, my mum watches these with me as I introduced her sometime last year and she loves watching.
I will be 56 years old in 3 weeks. A lot of us older people watch Shiey do things we used to do and don't anymore. And some of us actually pray for his safety.
honestly seeing you drive makes me feel so strange - im so use to you standing on moving freight trains and busses, that seeing you do a normal everyday thing seems almost spooky i love your videos, for people like me who cant get out due to medical reasons, your videos bring me a lot of peace. It really does feel like im experiencing things ill never get to see, thank you.
@@daddybilly001 their is the possibility, but its no garuntee, i always seem to have one problem wrong with me hindering my process The last three years, ive had severe joint pains in my knees and ankles, to where ive been unable to walk even short distances without some significant pain- and while they have temporarily subsided, they always tend to come back- That and due to my hypersomnia, i cant really entrust myself to go out by myself, even if i could- so its been a bit difficult to experience things, but i have been trying to, and hopefully when i overcome a certain global illness i recently got, then maybe i might be able to start exploring at very least, my own country
Shiey is often just one misstep from catastrophe; sometimes I have to look a way a moment when he does things. But he's sure-footed and calm in ways many of us could only imagine being.
Just found your channel. Love your thirst for life and adventure. Sorry to hear you struggle with mental issues. I have complicated grief from the death of my husband. My existence is pretty dark and isolating. But, this video gave me a distraction. Will consider supporting you on Patreon, when I get my finances figured out. Much love from 🇺🇸. 💚
I like it when shiey starts talking and describing his adventure to us that solidifies the story even more. I'm an introvert myself as you said that you don't talk to people too much and see it as a positive thing. but dude you're talking to almost millions of viewers and subs. continue inspiring us to explore and breathe in nature! Started doing videos in my channel on urban explorations.
man i've watched this guy since 2017 and shit hes really grown. from only exploring his country, Lithuania, to traveling the world like this! i hope all is good for him
Whatever you’re going through, I hope knowing that you give so many people an amazing escape from their everyday depressing lives gives you some solace. I wish at the end of my work day I felt like I was actually doing some good for this world like you.
one of THE bravest creators. I love this content. It is inspiring in a strange way. Im glad youre doing ok. I was worried with all the crap going on in Europe
I can see the pain in your eyes and can tell what you are going through. All I can say is humans are meant to be surrounded by people they love. Without that. You will feel they way you do. But I guess I can’t speak for everyone. You never know what someone has been through just by looking at them. But I sure hope you find your peace and calm. I love the videos. I’ll always be watching. Till the end
I would argue that some people want the exact opposite, and some people get happiness by just having time to themselves and being left alone by society because they don't want to live by society's rules and that's completely okay. He says it himself; he does this to get away from people but sometimes unironically it brings more attention to him.
You’re probably projecting, Alex. People like Shiey who can happily spend hours on end alone and sober are usually pretty happy. They tend to like themselves and that’s why they enjoy their own company.
Yea I understand that thats why I said I can’t speak for everyone. Cause at the same time you could be surrounded by loved ones and still feel so alone at times. But I just couldn’t imagine traveling alone all the time for weeks on end like Shiey. I feel like that could really get to someone mentally. But we are all so different. So maybe I am just projecting
Oh man! I've been waiting so long for something new to drop! It's like you heard my deathbed wishes. I'm not long for this world that's okay I'm not sad I'm ready. It was about a week ago that I was literally thinking it would be nice if Shiey would upload some new stuff soon. As always thank you for letting me live vicariously through your adventures.
Finally 🙏🏻 Seeing Shiey is alright and taking us with him on new adventures, makes these worrying days less insane. Thank you for sharing, and letting us think about something else then war and chaos for a little bit 🙏🏻
Honestly Shiey is my favourite youtubers. unlike other youtuber's who's just express their feelings with some sitting and boring place, shiey was talking whatever he wants to said.
I was looking forward to the sunrise. Thank you so much for sharing. It reminds me of when I lived on the streets and I would break into abandoned places every step you take takes me back to when I used to get lost in every moment. Every nook every cranny, it's so therapeutic. I've been trapped indoors as a single mother the last few years, watching you is one of the only things that keeps me from going insane. The days I can't get out of my house are the days that I watch you and it feels like I've left for a little bit.
When it seems like there can be no peace, just breathe brother. We can’t control everything, but we can control how we react and deal with things in the moment. All we have guaranteed is the beautiful sunset and the hope that the sun will rise in the morning. Love your adventures always!
So glad to see you safe. Thank you for sharing... everything. Stay strong! Your video biking through the snow was one of the most physical and mental exhibitions of strength I have seen in a very long while. Take care of yourself. Your ability to overcome can do just that. Thanks again.
It does Shiey. Your emotions do convey to us without words when your camera is on you. When you take in a moment, we do too. I feel peace in the moments that you share, and I rarely if ever get to enjoy these types of moments on my own. Thank you for experiencing these moments not just for yourself but for us as well.
It was around yesterday I was wondering when the next vid would be out or if you had been arrested or something. So happy you're okay and we still get some awesome content. Keep it up shiey. I aspire to be like you when I'm older, I want to travel Europe in a similar way and maybe even the world.
love him. Lives life on his own terms. So refreshing to see this than some douchebag showing off his wealth and possessions and bragging about his achievements and conquests. Shiey I hope you keep us engaged for life
Been watching your videos for a while and I didn't think you'd end up doing a trip in Sardinia! All this time I've been wondering if you're alive and you were so close to me!!!! I live in Sulcis, the area you are exploring in the video at the end. I've lived in Cagliari for quite a few years so it was so fun seeing you explore the city for a bit, also very surprised no one caught you in that hotel for rich people lol I can't describe how happy I am that you were here. My instict is like "damn I wanted to meet him" but then I know you wouldn't like to interact with people much anyway so it's okay. I'm looking forward to see the next chapters of this journey. I hope Sardinia stays in your heart as much as it does for the people who come here or for the people who were born here, like me. Also, fun fact: those "pretty flowers" you mentioned at the abandoned stadium, in my area we call them "binu forti" in Sardinian which means "strong wine". Because you can actually eat the stem and it will release a very sour juice (it's not actually wine lol). I used to do it when I was a kid, gotta say they're quite tasty hehe
it's all about that peaceful feeling you get whenever shiey is posting; it always feels like some sort of a safe-space - just letting the video play to keep the world shut for half an hour. this feeling is worth the world.
Know that we love you brother. You are a rare breed of human but whether you are on top of a sky scraper or trying to fall asleep in your bed at night we all have a feeling of somehow wanting to say what we wish we could but can't. Thank you for doing what you do.
