I know I’m 9 months late but this is one of the best comments ever! No animosity or passive aggressive bullshit trying to be the most clever person on the net. just great humour
TOM! No way! I met Tom in pushkar, in India, and he's just so cool, genuine and selfless. I hope I'll meet him again somewhere, at some point. Good travels Tom!
It's true and it's not a coincidence. We homo sapiens gradually edited the genome and DNA of their species by domesticating them and breeding them as we wanted, eventually creating incredibly human-compatible creatures that just "designed" by us to be very human friendly. Also i think intelligence plays an important part, since many intelligent creatures are very friendly. Think about it. Whales, Dolphins, Monkeys, Gorillaz, Chimps, Octopuses, and Dogs and Pigs and Cows and Birds especially Parrots etc. and then you have Crows and also Ravens. These are all very intelligent species and they are mostly friendly (if not threatened). Now you may say but what about Tigers and Lions and other Predators. Most of them are also very intelligent species. Yes. I'm not saying intelligence guarantees friendliness in a species but it allows it. Some species that are intelligent are carnivores and so they hunt and kill other species. That's the way the world works.
"All everyone wants to do is make a little money and spend time with their family. That's Universal!!" This last sentence of the video was awesome!!❤️❤️❤️
Great story, Thank you. My situation is similar. I bought an RV and have been traveling around America Canada and Mexico. I am looking for my forever rescue dog. . Life is short. Everything can change in an instant. Mine did the day after I graduated high school. 18 years old I broke my neck C6-7 and was a Quad, in a wheelchair. Told I would never walk again. After a lot of hard work, I was Up and walking unassisted. Now I am out living the nomadic life.
You need to give us more of the difficulties. This sounds and looks so easy. Like how can one go walking pass countries? And the money and water and shower? We need to see these more.
I put my best friend to sleep a few days ago, this was hard to watch because we would go everywhere. but this gives me hope to find another dog to call my best friend to be able to experience and explore the world, thanks.
My dog bites and growls at me and I feel like I mean nothing to him because my sister is his favorite and she barely pays attention but I also never forget that he is the one that is proud to see me get up. Just thinking about him gone feels like their will be no hope. Its good to move on though and my mom lost her dog in mexico when she left and came to the north for her children his name was Oso, bear in english he was a big companion until she gave him away she still has another dog a golden retriever 16 or 15 yrs old he lives next door from my grandma's house because my grandma does not like dogs but she had to leave her dog. I can't imagine me without Toby my dog.
Somehow, no matter how tired you are, when you see this all country beautiful and uniqueness its just always raging up your energy again, almost makes you're tires suddenly gone, cause everytime we see the beauty of all of this country between its nature and the people its always makes you curious and always want to see. I really want to do this trip around the world things too, maybe also like him to see what this world has give and display to us.
This was really lovely! I'm very happy for Tom that he is learning so much about the world and himself. I'm older than dirt and the idea of even walking to the nearest border of my state with my 11 year old dog who would enjoy it, made me feel exhausted just contemplating the idea.
Actually, when you serach carefully among millenials you find more people like him. I run courses for adults who often talk about themselves and all I hear is: "Kids? No thanks. I'd rather hike in the Himalayas or dive in caves". And they have pictures to show it. Mind you those aren't college kids but people in their late twenties and early thirties. Frankly, it's getting more and more difficult to find someone living the traditional way: husband/wife, kids and a dog, especially among people who have higher education and money to treat themselves to life's many pleasures. So either we have a TON of life quitters or we should expand our definition of what a happy life could entail. Heck, even when I talk to parents they are often divorced single parents so ye olde Disney formula crashed and burned for them as well. Makes one think.
Its not an if, its an when, its inevitable, death comes to all of us, instead of being sad, we should be happy we had the privilege and the pleasure to share our lives with these four legged friends. thats part of the reason I create videos on my channel, to capture all the beautiful memories
What a wonderful story about a man and his dog seeing the world and having adventures together. A dog is truly a Man's and Woman's best friend. Even more impressive that he chose to leave his comfortable New Jersey neighbourhood going out there doing it tough showing bravery seeing the world with all its wonders and dangers. That's what I call really living and experiencing life to the full. Kudos to the guy and his wonderful dog.
If you don't care about whether about your pains , just enjoying the path and watching around you and people ..... I'm damn sure you are the happiest person in this world ,,good job 👍❤️
I dream to do this in my country.. Ivev been depressed for years now. I haven't step foot outside.. And feeling so lonely, but grateful to have to lovely dogs with me. I wanted to do that too..
@@meganp8766 Probably not your gender as much as your financial status. To travel for multiple years across tens of countries, you need to have A LOT of money saved up
@@fruit5003 Oh, I agree if we are simply talking about traveling the world, but I was specifically talking about traveling the world mainly by foot as the man in the video did. It reminds me of the shows "ALONE" by the History Channel and "Survivor". I imagine that it's harder to participate in those shows as a female.
The kindness of strangers is amazing. Just experienced this walking across europe. Not all people are helpful, but it is amazing when it happens. Great video. Inspiring.
At the beginning of the video they said he left his home, so I assume he is renting his place out whilst on this trip and also funding this through years of savings. He also has his own RU-vid channel "The World Walk"
True. There are loads of logistical details not discussed probably because it takes away from the magic. How to afford the shoes water and food, how to stay somewhat clean, how to not get totally blocked by weather, how to avoid robbery, how to pack out all trash when away from towns. Similar to videos about through hiking the PCT. Some are about the majestic experience, less viewed videos are about the how
@@samrusoff #1 he has sponsors, #2 he washes in river or hotel #3 he waits out bad weather or times his trips right so he doesn't get too much bad weather #4 he doesn't really own that much of value to rob #5 keeps it in bag and puts it in a bin when he reaches a town
Like literal German journeymen - Mostly people who just finished their apprenticeship and then leave their homes and loved ones to travel the country/continent/world for three years and one day. They walk by foot or hitchhike. If they need money they have to find work. Sometimes they are also helped by locals or official places with a place to sleep for a night or a meal.
God... i rode trains and hitch hiked for like 8 years all across America, but this dude took it to a whole different level, so much respect for him and his dog
One thing I'v always wondered with stories like these is how people get past the language barrier. How can he ask for things, directions, etc without knowing their language? Seems like a major challenge.
having travelled and walked through some really remote parts of Asia over many years its amazing how much you can communicate just by mime and gestures lol. But I always try to learn at least a few words in any local language too. hello and thankyou always go a long way. This guy is a legend. Always wanted to do something like this myself. Best of luck to him...
WOE! it's bigger than even that! You my friend are a "healer"...you are touching peoples hearts like nothing else can. When hearts are open you realize the heart is the portal! much love and respect on your journey...you need to look into more of that healing thing.
You don't need a lot of money to travel. And you don't have to do it all at once. Weekend or week long trips are quite lovely too. Explore your surroundings and within your local state/region/area. You can check out nomadic Matt for ideas or Google travel blogs and there a a bunch of good ones. Good luck :)
I wonder how the process was taking his dog from boarder to boarder cause everywhere requires a long quarantine time for the animal? Someone please enlighten me
@@mommykirogi Nope, not talking about corona... most if not all countries have had a quarantine time for any pets or other animals brought over from another country, some places will have them in quarantine for a few months, I've even heard of there being quarantine for a year or more.
