WHO AM I:
I'm Dean, a filmmaker, photographer, creative, and nature lover from Cape Town, South Africa. I now live in the US creating and exploring. I create videos that help poeple break the system and find creative, financial, spiritual, and geographic freedom. Because who wants to be trapped under someone else rules! I care about the planet, protecting our environment, the importance of travel, and being able to work for yourself and from anywhere.

In between, I'll share my travels, experiences, thoughts on life, short films, and how I made them. This channel will be everything and anything ME. I'm interested in so many different things and this channel will reflect that:) I hope you enjoy it!

The “free” advertisement was one of the highlights of the video for me. Very entertaining 😂

I've used notebooks since February 2023 and it have helped me getting away from the phone cutting screen time by around 50%! I've recently looked into the idea having 2 in different sizes (one for pocket carry and the other one for a bag) as a dual system.

Woww! Highly appreciate your work behind this..

I absolutely adore the content and the message :] I turned to a pocket notebook just yesterday (I did bujo for quite some time before trying Traveler's Notebook for the last few months) and am really liking the simplicity of it.

I just have one note on the video: at times, expecially in the beginning, it felt distractingly fast-paced. I think it could use a little more calm (like doing half as many cuts for example), would really make a great difference.

But, still, I liked the video :]

i'm inspired to use a notebook again ✨(also the advertisement section - pure gold 🙂)

Using my iPad with Goodnotes and custom templates for this since 4 years but on paper could also be nice.

After watching this, you have inspired me to do the same and I will put my phone away now, and find a notebook!

[matthewhendricks]

I can’t get my grocery list to sync with my wife’s notebook.

[nnotperfect]

same like me. i still use notebooks until now

[davefink]

I wish there was a small mechanical pencil, no longer than the spine of the notebook, to keep in that same pocket. Have you come across anything like that?

[callmemikeferrari]

i'm ditching my phone for the next 30 days! i'll see you guys again in 30 days.

[gmailxoxo]

Ah, you can try turn off the internet, just reopen it when you need it. The phone will be a "REAL PHONE" 😂

[Fanfanwatermelons]

Thanks any way
