Good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgement. Lessons learned and passed on might save someone else from a bad experience. Excellent video! So wise for your short years on earth! Only thing missing is faith but that might come in the next video of life lessons at 40. At 64 that's what gets me through the day now.

Look how serious he is while talking about all those things, i loved it; you can tell how much he really mean it. This is probably one of the best videos from these kind of "solo videos" you guys do from time to time. I love you guys work, thank you so much Alex for sharing a piece of you and also this great amount of wisdom and inspiration. ♥

even though I'm 18 i needed this....
Thank you so much...

I just turned 30 and I'm honestly going through the worst. Thanks for the tips. I have made it a priority to dig myself out this hole and be the best that I can be.

You two have inspired me to start vlogging and showing people the world as well! Thank you so much!

“Introspection is something we really don’t celebrate in this day and age and it’s so vital to being a well-rounded person”.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I could not agree more.

Alex! Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I just turned 29 and have been thinking about how I want to spend the last year in my 20's. I think a lot of what you discussed here, really hit home with how I want to live year 29. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Appreciate all the content the Vaga Brothers put out! Keep it up and keep inspiring!

I just found this video. I am 45. I closed my business after 14 years just because I had enough. Got myself a part-time job, and start travel four times a year. I even start my travel blog, and everybody sad that I am too old for that. The blog is for young and cool. Who cares, I love it, and I do it for myself. Life starts the day you decide to live. I know it's sound strange, but it's true. You are never too young or too old. Enjoy, it's only will get better.

Hi ! ♡ i'm from Algeria ! and i will be traveling the world soon ! As solo, ,even its hard for muslim girl, , but i will do it ☆ i love u, your videos give me Courage !

[gsoffice]

Now this is what's helpful about YouTube social media - really great lessons and advice - thank you! Many of y'alls videos contain bits and pieces of these - be it traveling Spain, Ireland, Wales, Canada, Asia, US. The California by Motorcycle series and East of Eden film were so inspiring to us. Even your life lesson in Quebec travel vlogs was inspiring (bloopers) "I've got snow in my trousers. My willie's getting cold." You and your 'old' bro are the best!

I loved that you touched on the impact of solo journeys on our growth. Riding your bike for that huge distance, walking the Camino, etc. There is something about that physical and mental discomfort that pushes you down into your darkest places; but, that's also how you get the light.

[abhirupd]

There is lot of stigma against doing things solo. Your videos gave me courage to travel solo and be proud of it. More importantly, I've learned to say both yes and no. And do things my way and not always depend on others. Thank you so much.

I'm turning 21 in a few days and found myself nodding to every single point you made. These are the things that are always at the back of my head but I never really make a conscious effort to make them happen. This definitely gave me a proper nudge and I will try to keep these in mind when making decisions in the next ten years.

[xmbrly]

love this, I can so feel the overwhelming love and authenticity behind all these advices! Thanks for this video 💖

[TravelingTice]

Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge. I'm blessed to be 19 years old and already acquired so much good knowledge and life lessons and so many good experiences while traveling by bike over the last year. I want to be the best version of myself, keep learning, growing as a human being to be able to help others to get on their path of their dreams. Thank you

[horalocal]

I would only add: be independent emotionally and be practical. Friends don’t want to do that trip? Go on your own! Partner doesn’t want to go off for a weekend, it’s OK to go on your own... being emotionally independent doesn’t mean don’t love others or appreciate them, just means that you respect yourself more which will allow healthier relationships (love, work, family, friends...)

[alanafcb]

Really, really, really, really, really needed this. Thank you 💛

[jamesling]

Thank you so much! It's very encouraging and it makes me re-think about my life. I took down everything you said and hopefully I will always be able to remind myself of these great advice. Soon I'll embark on my solo backpacking trip through southeast Asia and Australia, this is a soul-searching trip that's been put off for various reasons but I finally worked my way to make it happen. You guys are the motivation!

[MusicLeanne]

One of the best video’s I’ve seen in while. I loved the idea and even though it can be obvious, it helps when someone tells it in your face to remind you :)
