Who's happy to see strangers in the videos again?

[ranjinirajainfilm]

Also the fact that you both managed to convince a set of Asian parents to allow their kids to go on this trip, just speaks volumes of your energy that you two give off :) so happy for the two girls :)

[bdmammoth]

The fact that steffan was the first person you asked for the life swap, and Trish was the first person he asked for his first adventure as a member seems so fitting!

[johnserra]

Trish's parents were so supportive. so happy they allowed her to travel

[mchase]

Stefan is like a breath of fresh air. Such a pure, wonderful human. His excitement for life is so refreshing.

[Triddzz]

Her parents and her family in general seemed like the most wholesome loving family and proud of everything they’ve worked hard for, love it!

[Omar-uhcw]

Honestly, the content on this channel rlly makes me re-evaluate life, there is so much to explore, we aren’t built to work all our lives and die

[MICVHmusic]

These videos never fail to strip my mindset out of a bad mood

[jberr]

We must protect Staffan at all cost. This man’s soul is so pure and the energy he brings is contagious. He also always has the best motivational one liners 😅

I was still a 15 year old kid when I start watching your channel. I even sent you a tweet the day I found out about your channel just because I was so amazed with the quality of your content. I thought that I wanted you guys to know how much I appreciate your videos. I'm 21 years old now and I still get emotional whenever I watch one of your videos, it's been five years now but it feels the same way when I first started watching you guys.

To this day, I still haven't left the country. Not even once have I been on a plane or a boat. Given that both of my parents lived in the same place, I didn't really have any place to go. Even though I don't have a passport, I'd love to visit Batanes, a province in my country, which is the Philippines.

Batanes is the northernmost, smallest, most isolated and literally the most peaceful province in our country. It has a ZERO crime rate. People living their are known for their honesty.

Given the chance, I've always wanted to visit Batanes with my mom. She's the only one I have. She's a single mom earning $54 per month. I am well aware that the two of us will never be able to travel in our own given our situation.

I hope that you guys can give us this once-in-a-lifetime chance and let this be me and my mother's life’s greatest moment. Thank you so much! I just signed up to headspace looking forward to this app!

I just love how Steffan is so authentic and vulnerable. He shows us where we all start and inspires me to just be me. What a beautiful soul.

[ronnavarro]

Stefan is a great addition to the team! I love his energy!

Hey guys! Almost two years to date, I decided to seek discomfort by getting my pilot's license. I have always had a massive fear of heights, as well as flying in general. After discovering what you do and how you live life, I was overwhelmingly inspired. Not only did I become a Pilot, but I became commercial pilot with THREE instructor ratings, all within a SEVEN MONTH PERIOD! It was the most difficult time of my life, but now I get to look back and see how far I've come.
The reason I would love a ticket to anywhere is because my wife has a promise with an elephant in Thailand. she visited an elephant sanctuary there around ten years ago, backpacking for several months and made a promise to come back and greet her elephant friend. We haven't been able to travel because of student debt, and it would make my dream come true to reunite her with one of her best friends.
Thanks for all the inspiration you give to not only me and my family, but the whole world.
*edit* just want to throw it out there that I my wife and I up and we love it!

Staffan is a perfect example that a stranger is a friend you’ve never met. I’ve been watching the channel long before Staffan’s first appearance and I remember watching that video and I never would have thought that he would become an official Yes Theory member but so much has happened since then and here we are. I can’t imagine how Staffan feels with the new title as he literally met these guys because they walked up to him on the street randomly several years ago. Congrats and welcome Staffan, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you.

I always appreciate when these types of shows let people that do not speak English just speak their native language without some voice over, just subtitles. I feel like more and more channels are doing that, and it is amazing.

[marisabonilla]

These people are like my dream friend group, just open minded and good energy people

[alexrice]

I am so happy for Steffan! He deserves the world. Such a beautifully empathetic man.

[jetjudson]

As a 53 year old with so many health issues suddenly the last few years (Never smoke) and over 37 years of mental health issues, (finally seeking help!) and so many missed dreams and wishes which are too late to attempt now, you guys genuinely make me smile so much and give my soul warmth when I watch your videos. Never leave things too late guys, do what you can for as long as you can and experience life to its fullest! Massive Hugs to you all :)

[RYMY]

Staffan was so nervous but he still managed to pull through it, he is the positivity that the world needs, WELCOME TO YES THEORY

[adrianpitt]

As a man in his 40s, it's so stimulating to see people opening their eyes to the world outside of their phones. Your story-telling is captivating it draws you in and holds your soul with the respect that you show each and everyone you meet along the way. Thank you
