Ken has always partner in every countries

I’m an Asia Slow Traveler. I fly solo as well. It’s the best. I meet many new friends everywhere I go that I wouldn’t meet with someone. I get the best of all worlds. I like flying solo because I can travel on my own tempo. I’ve traveled with partners before and that was good. To thine own self be true. Eventually I’ll travel with a great partner. I’m so contented and happy

Thumbs up 👍 Fishermin

Your channel is growing fast. I say stay a few more weeks to get the momentum going and channel growth.

Staying alone is Freedom! It’s refreshing to listen to your views about Malaysia in particular. Try to get yourself a sip of Teh Tarik, a favorite Malaysian tea that you could get at most local coffee shops. Keep up the good work.

He cannot take sugar... For sure he will avoid it...

Follow your heart when it comes to a matter of where you want to reside permanently. If Malaysia makes you feel good, then build on that motivation!

We Malaysians will be very proud if you settle here forever, as a permanent Malaysian resident. Take care Ben. Hopefully you will be happier with the people in Malaysia.

...be careful what you wish for. you just might get it. you cannot afford to get stupid about Americans. perhaps you might lose another jet airliner or your next prime minister will be appointed by Washington. and if you think about the billions of ringgits flowing from KL to the US every year by companies like starbucks, McDonalds or KFC you might wake up to the fact one day that they own you. be very careful. America is closer to than your jugular vein.

Wish you all the best in Malaysia 😊

Nice video, Ben! I can definitely relate to what you said. I am also visiting Malaysia right now. Best of luck with your travels and channel!

Hey Ben, yeah, me too same, introvert and love solo travel. Last was Vietnam a month before lockdown, cant wait to get to Thailand and other places. 62 in march, really love your style Ben, we are very similiar.

As a fellow alone American traveler,we could meet for lunch in KL . I’ll be there there 13th thru 30th

Ben, there is more to life than travelling solo. Anyway, you are the best man to judge yourself. Happy travelling.

😂..ohhhhh ok...your wisdom is amazing 😂

Love this post... i'm also a 'Solo Lone Ranger' traveller... also a part time introvert. So resonate with what your saying and it's all Okay...Vietnam with my family coming soon can't bloody wait

@benfishermin...have you visited Melaka/Malacca? Malaysia's historical state. It's only a 2-hour drive from KL (usually less) so you can even make a day (or two) trip there. Would be glad to show you around if you plan to go there. Cheers!

Hope that you enjoy your solo traveling in KL, Malaysia.

Ben, there are many solo youtubers who have visited Malaysia and like Malaysia very much. Some of them are making KL as their base.

It's easier to focus on yourself and your goals when you aren't burdened with other peoples problems and wants. Never be afraid or ashamed to be solo. Once you become successful you will have the time for others if you want. Sadly there are a lot of people who will bring you down for various reasons like envy, jealously, hate, etc. I dealt with a lot of that with people in my 30's. Do what's best for you with no regrets.

Ben, you make great videos. I am very interested in re-locating to Malaysia with Thailand as a second choice from USA & came across your channel. I've watched probably 10 videos now in full... First time commenting mainly to show some love. I also have digestive issues, at least celiac, but who knows what more & have gotten to the point where I don't bother eating out in USA (midwest) at all anymore. I'd definitely give it a shot in Asia, but would have to be super careful. I have a tip for you since you talk about being hot & sweaty all the time... I do adventure float trips at least once a year for long weekends & whenever it's hot, I jump in the water with a shirt on & when I get out even in 100F temps with sun beating down, it's like AC for up to like 30 minutes... Maybe try it out. The best shirt for this is made of bamboo, a super lightweight hoodie with long sleeves. The one I have is Free Fly brand but I recently saw Eddie Bauer makes a similar looking one called Solarfoil. I bet you could find something similar in Asia but also I'm sure it would work fine even in a tshirt (a wet hood is nice, but you can also get your hat wet too), hell it probably dries way slower & that's a good thing in this case... Just get drenched on purpose before going out, you'll love it.

Yes i was in Sabah last year for first time i actually fell in love with Sabah.i wishes i had more time i would.So many activities i would loves to complete ❤️.Ben is a tattooed artist it might pay to learn some local tattoos i seen a lot in Sabah.A few beautiful tattoos on theirs neck 🎉❤🎉

Solo is the way to go .take care

In fishing, I would prefer to go alone because I don't like when going with friend and he kept saying., let's go home ..but I'm not ready.

The best way you can learn about yourself is to travel solo. I've traveled with a partner and that's fun too. I think it depends where you are in life.

Like Mike Tyson once said, "F motivation, all you need is discipline" Haha makes sense in a lot of aspects. 2:15

👍🏻 chillax vibe in Dang Wangi area while listening to reason for being solo traveller.

Your topics are very pertinent and insightful!! Love your channel dude!! Thanks

Travel alone can be fun and lonely as well. But.. if you are fun person. You can make friend no matter where you go.

Yes correct stay focused is da way forward. Enjoy presence moments ✨️

Love how u tell ur personnel experience. I will follow u from time to time. I think its better than showing tourist spot in malaysia.

Ben Solo would be a cool name for this channel. Just don't turn to the dark side.

So, you want the nomadic life caused by your travel experience in Europe? I think with what you’re doing is awesome and one I can only dream of. Keep it up!

Hello,I'm driver.I'll follow your videos.

As long you have steady income, slow travel is good.

Loved yr videos and am subscribed to yr channel Hope you don’t get stress or pressure to do video everyday Take time off ok

I'm so introvert to even not have like more than 5 friends on my social media circle, especially my phone. Notification...mute. But when socializing, i'm the icebreaker and then, it tooks me more than a week to recharge...😅 Go fishing here, starting with a few local friends then once you get to know our nature here...solo fishing will be your paradise. Maybe create a fishing content too, while you're in Malaysia. Trust me, you will be the first travel vloggers that doing the mingling with our nature by fishing. 😊

Hi Ben. More on your Berlin travels, the city with everything! How was your apt, music, more organic food stores/restaurants than any other place in Europe, best & worst, can u speak German? Really enjoying your Malaysian travels! Easy 2 travel as solo traveler in Southeast Asia, esp Malaysia & Japan. U don't have the crime & much safer & cleaner than US. Public transportation is a dream! Keep going!

Why only 16 minutes? My commute is 30 😅😅

For the longest time, I've been travelling with friends. Recently, I've been thinking about solo traveling, because there are places I want to go, and none of my friends seemed interested. They are more the party type, while I like visiting ancient and historical sites, nature, museums, galleries etc... I'm still a little afraid of doing solo travels, because I have lingering questions in my head like, what if something bad happens to me and nobody knew who/where I was, or I get into some problems or weird situations, who do I turn to etc... Eventually I'll travel alone, but I don't think I'm ready...😅😅

You can only rely on yourself. It's hard at first but it makes you stronger.

Do you ever get bored or think to yourself "what am i doing" ? I am a very deep thinker haha, and enjoy things for a certain while and then get bored, always needing something new

Hello I'm from east coast Malaysia just wanna say hello😊have a nice day(not from sabah or sarawak)

I understand complete!y. I prefer travelling solo, !ess complicated.

It's great to travel alone, cuz, you're the boss to decide when and where to go everyday. Having said that, probably smart Chinese Malaysian girlfriend will suit you who doesn't intervene your work

Ive always travel solo.. and love it.. been to Tokyo solo without even a simcard only offline map and survived.. then i went to Europe with a group of 12.. and i missed a plane home.. never ever again go in group for me..

It's funny how strangers can be so nosy as to ask why you are alone. It's so nice of you to explain. What's wrong with being alone? Introverts need a lot of solitude to recharge. I know because I am an introvert. An extroverted introvert. I have friends but I fiercely guard my alone time. So, while it's understandable that you want to be nice to people online but yes, don't worry too much about strangers' comments.

Yeah, I would get that question often but after awhile I can answer in a standard way, and getting beyond the initial impression and formalities it can be worth it. I also get other direct questions in Asian culture in regards to my weight for example because I guess my appearance is slightly underweight. I think comments on appearance and if you’re alone could be normal in Asian culture but in a way I can feel it’s invasive but I find I’m curious and entertained by this aspect and how being alone strikes a nerve with some. I used to be quite direct in my inquiries but then realized I was a little too serious, inquiring into nuanced things that are normally avoided in such situations and have become less serious. Making small talk in general can be a challenge and sometimes people look at me like I’m a weirdo asking about the weather.

Ok my bro my bro your boy from Philly !! I currently live in Ventnor The Jersey Shore !! Phillies and Yankees share the best record in baseball 🤣😂 Have supported you and the channel since subscriber ONE …love hangin with my boy keeper coming

Go to english speaking countries to keep up the momentum. Example india and philippines. They also have large population too.

Ben, watch Out for those birds shit when you're walking under the trees 😂

"Why do I travel alone?" I can think of a few funny lines... you left it wide open.😂 I've walked that path. I'm talking to the screen. Sogo 7th fl has Khee Nguyen, great viet ice coffee. Has sweetened condensed milk, so you probably can't have it. Look left and up for a Sheraton (I stayed there once). You'll pass the police station. On the wall to your left is a mural of 3 guys. A restaurant with multiple locations. I forget their names. 😂

KL folks, at 10:57 on his right, is that Wisma Campbell? I think there’s small military surplus store at the first floor. Wonder is it’s still around.

I have noticed, & met recently a lot of people who are all travelling on their own, it seems to be the in thing, i think it's brilliant, brave, & must be fun ! much more interesting. Then you can go your own way again ! Why not! Great life. Keep safe. 🙂

Best way to travel is by yourself I think. When you are with someone else you tend to stick to your group and not meet anyone new or experience new things cause you’re with someone else. Wake up, leave the hotel, walk and get lost for the day. Best feeling ever is to be completely lost knowing you are right where you want to be

When I watched my first videos of yours, I thought this is an extrovert person. But just a couple of more videos and I realized that no, he is an introvert. But that's how it goes in real life too, first impression often fails. One way to understand this is to look more deeply at personality types and especially cognitive functions behind them. Are you aware Ben which type you are for example in MBTI? I am an INFJ (the type who often seems to be interested in personality typing stuff 🤭...) and would guess that you are an ISFP or ISTP. -- Ok, ISTJ is also possible 😄what do I know...

“Ben Solo Travels” lol

Ask your parents retired in malaysia…IT is affordable and decent life style

you've been eating nasi kandar every day but you never realized that they put sugar in all their curries. lmao. "allergy" konon.

It's hard when you love travelling. Not every partner can drop everything to keep traveling with you

You should at least travel to East Malaysia, to Wilayah Sabah and Wilayah Sarawak. Make a video what is your honest opinion on both Wilayah of Malaysia

I always wondered what it's like for an american to go somewhere where you know your government has been, as well as you CIA, military , IMF and world bank and they just fucked up the place and ruined the lives of those people there politically, militarily, economically, environmentally, culturally, etc. There are many such places like Vietnam, Korea, Latin America, Africa. I want to see Americans confront their legacy of death and destruction in the most brutally honest way. I believe these matters should be reconciled even before any american tourism is allowed into any such country. You don't just sweep it under the rug like it never happened. This is nothing personal. But I believe that debts should be paid, even with tears or apologies if necessary. You can desensitize yourself back home but if you're gonna revisit the scene of the crime like a tourist you should have some decency about it.
