He has such a beautiful personality, it is almost impossible for people not to like him unless they suffer from a psychological disorder. I'm a complete introvert but I enjoy studying other people's personalities, that's why I find Ben's videos absolutely fascinating and refreshing. He is so genuine, he's never afraid to express his true feelings and thoughts, and, at the same time, he is so polite and considerate not to hurt other people's feelings. It is so nice to tag along in his journeys and visit places and people which and whom otherwise we would never be able to visit anyway. He is the pal everyone would like to have.

@Cjc 206 The problem with going mainstream in music or in film industry is that when you are have a contract with these big corporations, of course it will pay much much more, but they will expect much more from you too. Being under constant pressure will affect the quality of the content. I wouldn't mind B&B doing a documentary or a short series on netflix or youtube premium, but moving all of his work on some site like netflix would most likely drive away most of his fanbase. That's why I would much more prefer if he just created a patreon and people could support him directly.

That song and seeing all the old shots in the end makes me feel kinda nostalgic.

I thought it was a brilliant interview! What an interesting life you lead and it's nice having your story sort of consolidated here like this for those who may not know your background and what you're all about.

Seeing all those clips remind me of the times I watched each of those videos and made me feel like, in a way, we shared all those adventures together as a community. Keep up the amazing content!

You killed that interview brother. I’ve been binging almost all your videos over the past several months and couldn’t be more of a fan of you, your passion and your message. I’ve always had a passion for exploring new places, but you’ve singlehandedly ignited an even bigger flame inside of me to continue learning new languages and experience ALL our world has to offer. Cheers brother..hope to run into you someday on a wild adventure and have a couple beers or a shot of vodka

Its very cool to see you going near where I live in Prague, I actually walk next to the Czech radio building quite frequently so keep up the good work!

You handled that radio interview like a champ! Well done.

"Pater Noster" is what the Lord's Prayer is called in Latin, and that type of lift is also called a Paternoster in German. I guess whoever named it thought it best to pray before getting on.

Man, kudos for being so honest and not answering politically correct. Czech generally think they are closer to Westerners than Slavic people in many ways so they can appear much colder. Go to Serbia or Bulgaria.

@Mikhail Linyski Buddy. You don't have to "feel in danger" to be in danger. Do you have any idea the sheer number of Mutilation videos that are exported from South America? Let me give you an idea, they usually take place inside of a Shallow Grave and are followed by a large series of gunshots. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the cartels are good 97% of them.

He was also in downtown ATLANTA. Lol. There are some very dangerous places in America, just like in Russia and the places that Bald has visited. He may not have felt like he was in danger in say, the Middle East, but its likely because he's a white man with a camera. They take him as a journalist.

It depends where you are. America is very safe, relatively speaking. There are dangers everywhere but of you've got some street smarts and are even remotely prepared, those dangers hardly exist, unless you go looking for them.

It really depends where you are and who you are. I've lived abroad, been to the USA etc. When I was in Florida I went past that big strip with all the hotels, plenty of ferraris around.. Two blocks away my "guide" told me, never stop at a traffic light here at night... If you are in the wrong neighbourhood in any country it's not safe at all, but at the same time most of it might be extremely safe. There is just a difference between the amount of safe and unsafe areas between countries...

He's what's called omnivert, an extroverted introvert. While you can have the social skills of an extrovert, his true nature is to be calm, passive, reserved, etc.

@ClayMann

introvert doesn't state what you can and cannot do. It just labels you as someone that prefers to be one way. To do what he wants to do he's had to overcome his natural introvertedness and gotten better at it the more out there he is I would guess but I don't know. I wouldn't call the guy out though based on a hunch you have. He said it. We have no reason to doubt him.

Being introverted doesn't mean you lack social skills, or you have no need of company. Mainly it means you dislike being the center of attention, and you tend to loose some energy in most social situations.

Wow. This video hit me right in the nostalgia. I realise that I've followed you through some places I'll never get to visit in my lifetime, judging from the way the planet is going. Thank you, Ben. You've given us more than you realise. 🙏
