Has YouTube Changed My Life? (250,000 Subscribers)
After over three and a half years on KZread I think it's time to sit down and reflect on this career change and how it has changed my life.
Thanks to @FloraandNote for helping me look back and discuss the more personal struggles of being a KZreadr.
Congrats to @FloraandNote for celebrating 4 years on the platform too!

Absolutely 😂
I remember watching you when you were house sharing and in Chiang Mai teaching kids. I respect what you do and know you have put in a lot of hard work to get where you are now. There is no way in the world I could do what you do and give up my anonymity. Once that’s gone it’s gone forever imo. I am very fortunate financially and have a nice work / life balance and do not want to be recording sitting up the front of plane and going to on holidays , showing my car etc. All of my friends are the same and don’t have Facebook / Instagram etc as we are all too busy living to document it, so hats off for allowing yourself to be so exposed. What I like about KZread in particular is that it has provided a platform to enable people to find their groove in the world and get financially rewarded…probably above what they would earn in any other job. The sky is the limit and untapped potential with this platform. You will only grow as your content is exceptional and well edited. Now buy that plot of land Paddy because you deserve it!
Wow! My favorite KZread People all in one place!! That view is beautiful. Paddy you suave dog you. The old Crashed my bike method eh? Miss P you are a real trooper. Thanks for making this vlog guys. So wonderful to see you all together.

I remember when you were on 20k (I think on Koh Samui) and worried about your channel growth. Amazing how perspective changes so quickly, well done Paddy.

I really enjoyed this vlog. Partly because I love seeing you and Note as friends instead of punching each other in the ring. I started watching their channel after that and saw what a nice person he really is. I also love that Miss P is no longer shy of showing her face on the vlogs and is actually speaking on them now. She is lovely! The Q & A was great. Love the background stories. I love your channel and happy to be a subscriber since the beginning (since I am a Budgeteers fan).

This was such an enjoyable watch! I smiled all the way through and you transported me from my life into a life I one day aspire to - maybe not on KZread but sitting with friends, in Thailand and reflecting about life before living our best lives. Thank you ♥️
Just keep going and don’t change. I like your style. And never forget, the freedom you have is most valuable. Wishing you continuing success.

Really like this one Paddy, it's refreshing to know that a lot of KZreadr's, especially travel channels, go through similar things and have similar problems to deal with and figure out. This helped us look at our own with a better perspective, thank you 🙏

You’re the man, Paddy. Thank you for this channel. You are easily my favorite creator on KZread, hands down. Whatever you end up doing, you’ll always be responsible for introducing me to Thailand in so many different ways (I even asked my wife to marry me on Phi Phi 🤘🏻) Thank you for sharing your awesome Ms. P with us and thank you for taking care of yourself, bro.

You deserve it for all the hard work you put in. And you make great videos.
Great to see the four of you together again. Ms P is a delight to look at and listen to. Ms P sounds British.
Your first date story. How polite you are when you first meet someone. When you saw how steep that road was, l'm sure Miss P would normally have said, no way, lets just take the truck 😂
Aw, I loved this one! Just to see all of your relaxed and chatting away is so good. Thank you for sharing this 'inside look' into KZread life!
Paddy good to know it has changed your life in many ways. You're enjoying life with Ms. P and everything else. VISUALIZING DOES REALLY HELP! Just give it a shot. I am still a teacher. I did the KZread thing for 4 years but it didn't work out for me. I still do it but on a minute scale now compared to what I used to do. That was one crazy and scary 1st date guys. Good y'all survived it with scratches and nitches. Keep growing as a couple Ms. P and you.

Hey Paddy, Honestly you inspired me to start my own channel 2 years ago. It has been a steep learning curve and going up and down with it. As I still work full time and can't find enough time to upload consistently. When did you decide to go fulltime with your new channel? How did you cover your running expenses?
Literally just home (Ireland) from Bangkok and a 4 nights in Koh Samui ❤️🇹🇭 unbelievable and amazing

Your girl went from not being in the channel much to a natural. 2 best channels especially when you’re in Thailand. Moving there soon.

Yes, whenever I feel down I head to Bangkok. The down side is it is a 17 hour plane ride for me. Lucky you. Good video.
This was a great episode! I loved hearing the story of the first date. That hill sure is steep! It was interesting when you said that you thought people might lose interest during the 13 months of the Thailand provinces series, followed with Vietnam. I found this channel while researching for Vietnam, and then watched all of the rest of your content, which is excellent. I really appreciate that you are real, and give your honest opinion about places. I look forward to my Saturday mornings, watching your newest episode! Thank you :)
I remember sitting with you at Lanna Hotel when this happened. We both lived through covid. I wish you much success.
You, and Flora and Note, and maybe Chris Parker too, were the creators who made me dream during Covid, and then had me decide to go and create my own KZread channel, and then a second one. I thank you a lot for that, Paddy!🙏🙏🙏

Loved this. Flora and Note are so fun and I love that you got together. Some of those roads on Samui are sketchy!!
Watching this from a beach on Koh Tao. I have been watching you since the Sri Lanka trip with the budgeteers. It is awesome to finally see the places I have seen in your videos in real life now
Your videos helped me plan my recent trip to Thailand. So thank you 🙂 I am going back again soon (I am now a Thailand addict)
First off, thanks for the video. I really enjoyed seeing you chat together. Both of your channels inspired me to start KZread myself although I feel my results have been mixed. One thing I don't understand though is personified in this video. The views are less than what you both usually get in your own channels. I just don't understand it. I tune in to watch channels mainly because I like the people. In other words, I may like pickleball, but I'm not going to watch someone I don't enjoy talking about it. But for people I enjoy on camera, I'd watch you do about anything. So watching you all share stories around the table is very enjoyable. So why does the world not seem to feel the same and a simple nice friendly video like this match the views of your other ones... Anyway, it is a question my simple mind can't answer. I was really happy to hear you talk about not worrying about the algorithm - at least not 100% - and just doing the videos you want. I finally got to that point. Since I can't seem to predict what will do well and what will flop, over the last few months I am finally at the point where I just film what I feel like, and if it does well, it's a bonus, and if it did not, then I had fun talking about something I wanted to share. Thanks again for such a pleasant 30 minutes with you guys and continued best wishes in your lives and channels.
Love the video Paddy! Cannot believe that we’ve been watching you for 3 years now! Please don’t stop posting videos 😉

omg! 3 of my favourite Travel vloggers!!! I am a big fan of Flora & Note and yours too!!
Well done Paddy! That was a very insightful and interesting video. It's great to see miss P' in a video too. I started watching you during covid before I moved to Thailand, and you helped to keep my sanity, for that I thank you. You have been one of my favorite KZreadrs for a long time. I first discovered your channel when you did your first colab video with Ryan from Life in Bamboo or was it Naked Guru back then? Dunno. Paddy you have inspired me to start my own channel, I did your KZread course and learned some fantastic information from that course. I have recently just clocked up 1k subs on my channel. And I think it's fair to say that you have been one of the reasons for my milestone, all be it a small one, but a milestone non the less. Thanks Paddy! I wish you nothing but success on KZread for many more years to come.

so nice 2 of my favorite vloggers in one video. Incidentally I just finished Flora's Koh Kood video before this 😁
Hello Paddy, 😎👋🏻 I’ve been watching episode after episode of your videos, Thailand in particular - what a beautiful country! Your creative filming style and relatable presence on camera makes your content interesting and a pleasure to watch. Very well done….keep it up, mate‼️😊👍🏻 I’m a Canadian 🇨🇦, married to a Mexican and living here in Mexico🇲🇽. Thailand 🇹🇭, and Southeast Asia, look magnificent. Definitely on my radar for this year. Thanks for the inspiration…. Cheers Paddy‼️🍻
Totally enjoyed that! Thanks for sharing.
I just want to say love the video, and I had no idea you were in a relationship for the last 3 1/2 years!! That came as a total shock. Not that I thought you wasn’t capable of having a relationship you just hid it well from the camera.
Excited to see more about the land you are looking to buy Paddy! Great video as always ☺
I recall when Flora & Note did the you want to move to Samui episode and Paddy escaped to Samui before the Covid shut down. You three have produced some lovely content. Huge skill improvement very quickly. Paddy became a good Drone operator, Note also, A thought … HBO filmed “white lotus” in Samui if I had to guess (and I am guessing) it will increase interest in Ko Samui and drive property prices up after it airs. Hope to see you guys on the Island at some point.
Really enjoyed thst video. I understand that Miss P doesn't want a couple channel but you should try to include her when possible...she is so good!
Great to see you two together! I watch and subscribe to both yours and Flora & Note's channel.. i go to Thailand often. Every year actually... Mostly up North Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai... Hope to meet either one of you some day :) keep it up!
I'm not going to watch right now. Tammy and I have been with you from the start and even met you in Chang Mai. 🇨🇦 So looking forward to here observations.

Paddy, you really make Ms. P falling for you. Lol.
Paddy you are amazing bro keep going!
You should try The Jungle Club, just along the hill from The Roof. In my opinion, it is a nicer place to visit.
Holy... 3.5 years for next level... and I remember the first Miss P date. Ha ha. She stuck around after that, so you knew she was a keeper.
So this Land, build? Is this my old folks home? 😅❤🎉
Hi Paddy. Can I ask about one of your precious videos? What month did you cruise the Ha Giang Loop in Vietnam? Thanks mate.
Enjoy you work - very entertaining and informative. Give it another 4 years hopefully a Million Sub's then Wedding Bells.
Very nice. It was cool to see where 'the bike incident' happened...and hard to believe it's been three years. And the Q & A with Flora and Note was fascinating. p.s. LOVE the Pinky and the Brain reference! Yeah @Paddy, you can sometimes be an idiot! haha
