I don't know if you guys are still checking your comments, but i come back to this channel a lot of time, the cinematography and everything made me fall in love with this channel, the journey has been amazing and right now I'm freaking more excited for your journey than my own exams, i wish to meet you people someday. Thank you for making me want to travel.

You guys taught me how to pack for my first trip as a teenager before I even told my parents I was leaving. How to prepare and what not to forget. And to have fun. I remember feeling so anxious because I had no idea how to tell my parents (they're very controlling: I was a fresh adult and I basically had to order myself to say that I was TELLING them that I was definitely going, not ask for permission. It was very messy.) that I was leaving, and I was very nervous because I had never gone anywhere that far on my own before - even though it was still in my own country - but simply looking up how to pack for a trip and travel tips really eased my mind about it whenever I started to overthink. And watching your travel videos inspired me so much and was such a good escape from everything.

I had no idea how to do anything; how to book tickets, make an itinerary, plan for the days. It all seemed so huge and scary and impossible. Hell, I secretly created my own bank account alone just because of that trip, which was only a 4 hour train ride away!!! I decided to maybe start with what I would take with me. So I went off and bought a simple 15€ 40L backpack from Decathlon and it has been my faithful travel companion ever since, I've never gone on a trip without it EVER and the 10 year guarantee is nearly halfway through! Backpacking only!

Obviously I overpacked like CRAZY for that trip, but this girl would 100% carry that absolute unit of a backpack all over again if she had to repeat that first taste of independence. Your channel truly helped me figure out the most important steps that I could take towards freedom (financial control - responsibility - preparation - a whole shitload of guts), so I am incredibly grateful and beyond thankful for your dedication to it. I'm proud to say that I have now been to two other different countries (money is still tight - but I always budget!) several times over the years, and my backpack still looks and feels brand new! I know it's not much, but it sure makes a hell of a difference to me and that is what matters the most. I really like taking good care of my travelling gear.

Nowadays I already know what to take with me, and my personal rule is to whenever I finish packing, ALWAYS remove 50% of it. A half-full backpack gives me the joy of being able to bring home another half backpack of memories (even if that's just a whole bunch of foreign candy!). Travel makes me so, so happy! And if it wasn't for YOUR easy-going nature and smart planning, I might've never stuck around, gotten hooked and discovered that.

Good luck you two, thank you for everything and stay healthy! To better days and safer travels in the future!

In these times of uncertainty, its crucial that we don't let negativity take over. Do an act of kindness, read a book, meditate. Maintain an inner peace. Watch the blessings come your way.

[austinrider]

It’s been two years and we all miss you. Hope all is well, you feel happy, healthy, safe and fulfilled in life.

[larvesquareandfriends]

Just to inform people who don’t know and want to see more from these dudes, in the description both of their individual channels are listed. Alex is still posting regularly and Marko not so much but he uploaded something in the last year at least. So yeah, I hope this helped.

[rakeshmohanty]

Need the brothers back. Show us some not so known parts of your home city.

[KornKrlz]

Y’all helped my wife and I on our honeymoon in India (just before lockdown). We went from Old Delhi, took a train to Siliguri and Darjeeling, then to Gangtok and back to Agra. Thanks for everything and hope to see some more videos soon!

[Travelwithchris]

Yes! Its been tough, after having to leave South America because of the pandemic my mind has been so uncertain! I have no idea what travel will look like for us in the future, but I do believe that we will overcome this and become more smarter and safer travelers than we were before! Good seeing you again!

[brigadello]

Ok shedding a few tears... wasn’t expecting that, must’ve been the dust in my eyes. What a beautiful, heartfelt video. Thank you so much for reminding us that there is so much to live for and work toward for a better world.

[oj]

yeah, its been pretty crazy... was saving in 2019 so 2020 could be my "travel year" but covid was like NAH, you can take another year off! And as someone who works in healthcare, its CRAZINESS going on... hopefully we can see change from healthcare to social justice moving forward!

While I miss traveling myself I know that I won’t feel comfortable getting on a plane for the next couple of years. I was living in Brazil and came back to my home the US because of this. There is so much heartache right now but also so many moves for positive change stay safe out there everyone! Sending nothing but love ❤️

I'm Pedro. I discovered this channel while living in Los Angeles. Last year I got the chance to move to the north of Spain and the first time I saw the beauty of the Basque Country, where I am now, was through this channel. Thank you for showing me this amazing place. All the best on your future projects Alex and Marko! Eskerrik asko Vagabrothers!

You guys have really inspired me throughout the years. When I felt upset and alone, all I wanted to do was travel and go out on my own. you guys showed me the amazing experiences of travel and how it can form you as a person. it's truly an unexplainable experience and I felt like I could leave where ever I was while watching your videos. Thanks!
