Ep 39: The Daily Unpacking - Dylan Ray

We'll see. It'll be good to be here. Yeah. Cool.

I just saw a reporter. It doesn't have to be any formal or just a combo, you know. Me and Keyla started this podcast. We had like a daily thing.

We called it the daily unpacking. She came up with the name. It's pretty cool. And we were supposed to, you know, do like a five minute recap of what we experienced today.

And it just turned out to this idea. So, yeah. So it's a Travis podcast, meaning, you know, us just having conversations together. It's already a Travis conversation.

So, whenever we talk about it, it's going to end up being a Travis podcast. I do have some questions. First of all, I want to get to know you a little bit more. I want to get to know where you come from and how you found, because we met here in Pai.

How did you find Pai and what brought you here? Okay. So who's Dylan? Yeah.

And how did you do that in Pai? So Dylan was born in Canada. I was born in a place called Sam and I in British Columbia. And at about the age of three, my parents and I moved on to a house book four years.

Really great experience. I was pretty young. So I don't remember tons of it. But it got me very into the water.

Shortly after that, we moved to Vancouver Island. And started live by the ocean and mountains once in my life. Yeah, surf, longboard, wakeboard, skateboard, everything. Yeah, snowboard.

Yeah, snowboard. Lots. Where I live most of my life is about 20 minutes from the peak of the mountain. So I just go anywhere in the world and I get something to do.

Yeah, that's right. Vancouver Island is one of the special places where you can actually surf, longboard, and snowboard at the same day. So, yeah, very grateful for the having that. Yeah, so I grew up around a lot of nature and doing a lot of exploring and stuff because Canada has a lot of nature to explore, which is really cool.

Actually, the story about finding and coming out of Thailand is pretty unique. I think I was 18 years old. I just graduated. And I was on my way over to the mainland.

I've been really into street bikes and cars in my whole life. And at the time, I was on a street bike, excessively speeding on the highway to catch my ferry. And then I saw another bike that was also excessively speeding. So I started following him because I pulled him over.

So I followed him about 160, 170 on the highway. And we stopped at a red light. And he's like, hey, man, are you trying to catch the ferry? And I told him yes.

And he's like, it's not worth risking your life. Which I found ironic because this guy was also speeding. And he was also going to catch the ferry. So anyways, I decided, okay, no, this guy makes a lot of sense.

I called over, ate a sandwich, called my mom, but I know I was going to be late to come to Vancouver. Slowly made my way to the ferry. It was like three minutes late for the ferry. Just kind of pissed off at this guy.

I was like, I would have made it. But anyways, I ran into him in the ferry line up and he started talking. He pretty much said, so what are you doing with your life? And I told him, like, well, I might be moving to Alberta, which is province in Canada.

That's all, mostly about money. It's not very beautiful. There's just a lot of work there. I said, I might be moving there with my girlfriend at the time.

And he just straight up said, like, that's a horrible idea. And I was like, what do you mean? That's a bad idea. Like, this was my plan.

Like, that's what I was doing. And I didn't know where he said, well, I'm on the way to Thailand as you need. And at the time, I honestly thought Thailand was like in China. I had no idea.

Like, I have no reference point whatsoever. I was 18. Yeah. So he told me a little bit about Thailand.

I was pretty intrigued. And I remember thinking about it for two days straight. I brought up my mom and I ended up booking tickets to Thailand and breaking up my girlfriend. Really?

Within a couple days. Wow. Was it just resonated with me? Yeah.

It was very important. But what did he tell you about Thailand that stuck with you? I think he said it was pretty cheap. The people were friendly.

He was a dietitian. He said, like, there's a lot of fruit and good food there. I don't remember. Probably stuff about girls.

Probably about... I've been here. Yeah. I think he probably said stuff because I mean being 18.

Probably said things about like how foreigners, white foreigners get treated like their kings or pretty well. And that would probably appeal to me at the time. So yeah. So I came out here for my first time.

I told my mom I was going with friends. I went by myself. I just knew she probably wouldn't have been okay with it. She actually purchased my flight from you because my grad president, which I'm super grateful.

Because that started my traveling adventures. So then I came out here for two months. It was really, really beautiful two months. I remember when I left.

I remember crying and being like, I can't wait to come back here. I'm coming back as soon as possible. I then got kind of acting into the system for about a five year period. Probably about 60 cars and motorbikes in that five year period.

I bought my first house when I was 21. Filled it up with stuff. Where? On Vancouver Island.

Yeah. So I had all these things and I still wasn't doing the happiness that I was driving for. So after a lot of dysfunctional relationships and only a lot of things, after about five years I finally realized what I had been stuck back into. And I got rid of everything and I came back.

So since then when I've been in Canada, I've been living in tiny homes and vans and converting vehicles and stuff. Which I have way more peaceful mindset when I'm in that state. And without the moral of a minimalistic mindset. And then you realize, you were self-aware enough to realize that what you were chasing was exactly what you wanted.

No, no. It was essentially like happiness fulfillment and others. Right? So without the minimalistic mindset, you downgraded what you owned.

Yeah. Yeah. And then you just now. So what was the reason for you to departure the very first time you left?

No. You probably touched on it already. But it's the core motivation. Other than like your mom buying you a ticket.

Yeah. So her gift was a ticket to anywhere. The joke was a one way ticket to anywhere. But that was the thing.

And then Thailand came to my awareness and I started that for where I wanted to go. And then you went to Python? I went up to Chiang Mai. I spent about six weeks in Chiang Mai.

And then my last two weeks I came up to Python. That time you were on the 18th. Yeah. That time you were on the 18th.

Wow. I'm getting memories on Facebook and stuff recently. That's so cool. Pi was completely different back then.

I was going to ask you. How was it back then? Do you know on this side of the bridge, on the right-hand side, there's a bamboo building? Yeah.

That was the place. That was called the bamboo bar. And when you walk around, it would like move around and stuff and sway in the wind. It was super sketchy.

But that was like the only really place to go at night. That's so cool. Now obviously you can see this. Yeah.

I had no awareness of paradise at all. It was a Pitera resort or something. I didn't come down here at all. That's so sick.

Yeah. I'm 25. You're really young then. Yeah.

So you're 25 and you bought your first home with 21. Yeah. How did you collect the funds to be able to do that? Yeah.

So I went and worked in Alberta in a place called Edson. I worked straight in the oil field. Worked in six in our days. I took Christmas off.

You wasn't on the school table today. No. No. Except anyone that has a lot of sense to do.

Yeah. So yes, I worked those eight months straight near the end because I was going to continue saving money. But it was a very depressing place to be. I wasn't being good to my body.

In camp, you can eat as much food as you want and stuff like that on healthy food. And I was really smoking two packs of cigarettes a day at the time. In Alberta, they sell 25 packs. That's 50 cigarettes every day.

It's really unhealthy. That's a lot. However, near the end of that, because, like I said, anyone who has a bit of sense to them, they would hire the job that I was specifically doing as a rigor, I'd be on the ground where I'd be like rigging up piles, which means like taking metal wire, wrapping around these massive metal pipes, and then a huge 60 ton crane pounds into the ground so they can build structures on it in the oil field. Okay.

And my operator two days in a row nearly killed me due to gambling on his phone while operating machinery. So he was more concerned about the game on his phone than my life. So the hammer dropped right next to me, he easily just wished me. So I was like, no, this definitely isn't worth my life.

Yeah. So I quit that day. Went back to the island, bought the house, couldn't afford to pay the mortgage while living there, because jobs don't pay much. So I had people move in and I went back to Alberta again to work.

Still on that property? No, so actually, I sold it after just over a year of owning it. I sold it to my mom, I'm her fiance. They gave me a fair value for it.

The property value went up 220% in one year, so it's getting back to me. Yeah, it's huge. It's a modular home, so the home stayed about the same. And I actually just went back to Canada.

I just got back, while six weeks ago from Canada, helping them sell the same house. The entire value went up more than double in the last two years. So they had a massively good investment. I went back, I convinced them to sell it, but also went back to help them sell it.

Just because they have a boat and they spend a lot of time in the water and they're never there. But it's kind of like this safety retirement thing where they're like, yeah, we'll retire one day, but they're just always moving and doing things. There's no way they're ever going to do that. So I have to kind of be like, you guys, you think this is just kind of like a comfort thing?

And they finally realized that and decided to sell. So I was really cool. That is so cool. So you helped them with that.

I feel like you've done so much already. I feel like you've done so much already. You have such baggage of experience. I feel like the way you speak, the way you talk, and I feel like you've been through a lot.

I'd say the biggest factor is I've been addicted to change. I've always thought from a young age that I had a large purpose. If I was going to be, I mean probably all do. I mean at some degree, but I don't spend a lot of time going to doctors and finding out my problems.

But however, yeah, so basically I've had like 30 different jobs. I've never been fired from a job and I'm pretty much friends with all my own bosses. However, as soon as I got to the point where I stopped learning and three or four days went by where I did the same thing over, I'd be like, guys, I can't do this without my life. It felt like this was either the rest of my life or I have to change now.

So because of that, I've learned skills in a lot of different areas. And as life situations come up, I realized, wow, at that time it was just for money. But now I have the skills to do the things I mean now. It's really amazing.

So what do you want to do like moving forward? If you look like 10 to 15 years ahead of time, what do you see going on? Wow, this is something I haven't thought about a lot lately because I spend a lot of time living really in the moment. It's as much as I possibly can.

Yeah. If you were continuing up in the next 15 years, where would you get enough? Okay. In a position where I'm able to influence others out of the system that I find so corrupt myself, it's the reason why I've been spending so much time in Thailand because I feel like even though Canada seems like a great country, when I'm there I'm owned by the government and they make people think that they're not.

And I just disagree with so many parts of the system. So by being in another country I feel like I'm able to step away. It's similar to I think homeless people. They make this societal meme about homeless people where they're lazy or they're drug addicts and stuff like that.

When in reality a lot of them have seen the system for what it is because they've been able to step out of it and they would never want to join back to sign up for a prison, right? While the people that are inside the prison are like, oh, let's type them out and get them back in here. Like it's so good over here, you know? Like it's a delusion.

Yeah. So that I guess that desire comes from what you personally experience. Like you probably had, you know, emotional ways. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Yeah.

So you're trying to connect the dots. I kept attracting those kind of people. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. That's right. One of which was a relationship where I'm trying to shorten it so obviously it's quite long.

Oh, we have the time that you have to. Yeah. Yeah. So basically at the time I applied for Job Selling Telus door to door home services.

Telus. Telus. So in Canada that's a service provider for cell phones and internet and stuff like that. So I started doing that shortly after starting I started seeing the top sales person in, I don't know if I did this kind of like, being like, I want to get better so I started.

But I was attracted to this girl. She just happened to be like the top sales rep in Canada for Telus. So she taught me everything. Within a couple months, I was the fourth highest salesperson in Talis, Joridor.

So that was really cool. However, it was one of those relationships where she had a rough upbringing and a lot of trauma. And my story line was that I was helping her. Unaware at the time that through what I thought was helping, and you know, she cheated on me, things like that.

I'd be like, you know what, it's because of her past. It's not, and I would forgive her for these things, right? Or be manipulative, it's because she's healing. It's like a pushover kind of thing.

Yeah, that's right. That's right. At the time I just felt like a noble thing to do. However, at this point in my life, I realized now that I was actually just in a way enabling but also postponing her growth because by not allowing her to hit like maybe a rock bottom or something, I was stopping her from dealing with those things and actually healing.

Even though my story was that I was healing her, right? So through that, after being cheated on multiple times, being manipulated, believing rallies that weren't true at all, all these things, I eventually broke up with her. And when I did, unfortunately I actually tried to kill herself, but that was part of her, you know, going down. Luckily, she wasn't successful in that.

You actually tried because there's a difference between that and I thought that. Yeah, so what happened is she did, she did attempt too. She was on the phone with her grandma prior to that and her grandma felt something was up. Her grandma called the cops and brought them to the house and caught her in the act of like an attempt.

So they found her and I sent her to some kind of place. I haven't been in contact with her since then. Anyways. You probably were emotionally affected by that.

Yeah, yeah, definitely. How was that for you? Because you probably had to pick yourself up a night. I did, yeah.

So what I did is I converted a Nissan Pathfinder into a home, a sort of roof fence, a roof fence, stove, sink, solar, I had to run power tools in the bush, et cetera. And I went and lived in Crown Line for almost three months with my dog, which is just like No Man's Land Canada. There's thousands of acres where you can just go there and camp and stuff, camp with houses. So I went and lived out there and did a lot of reflecting and just spending time in nature.

And I think that was, for whatever reason, I knew that's what I needed to do. A long way to say it's like you're a rock bottom and so I feel like now you've come past that. Yeah. And now you've healed and now you've learned and now you're living what you learned.

I don't know. I don't think I can put it on exact time. Yeah, I'm sorry. I can imagine that.

It's a hard question. But the reason I asked is because I've heard so many times that time it takes you to break. At least twice amount of time to heal from it. I'd say that probably.

Yeah. Because that's what it's for me. It took me about eight years from my worst emotional crash. I was fully in my opinion.

Okay. Yeah. So I felt that even though these relationships went to really crazy dark places where I didn't like who I was at all because I was being dragged into this energy pattern and stuff like that. I thought patterns.

Thankfully though, these relationships were still only like a year, a year and a half. None of them, I didn't let them go on for so long that the story became so strong and I wasn't able to leave because I seemed to be in that situation. So I was still able to get out of them and learn from them. So shuffle up was probably a big subject at that time.

Yeah. What do you know about that? How did that help you in the way? So back then I don't think I knew a lot about it at all because I was looking.

It was probably why I was looking for things outside of myself. This is why I thought the next car, the next bike, the next house was going to make me happy. That's right. Obviously didn't or the next promotion, the next race, all these different factors.

Yeah. And because of that I think it takes your attention a lot away from self love and I wasn't really really expressing those things myself. I was smoking a lot. Yeah.

Eating unhealthy. I mean that also comes from a lack of information in the overall society of things. We just don't know that we're doing this work before us because everyone else is doing it as well. And we're told that's what we should be doing.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I believe it.

Like most people. And still probably. Yeah. Yeah.

So it's not only about who you are. I love yourself because you're such a way to spread yourself. And I love that. So we're going to go a little bit over to more like a travellers.

Yeah. Recording. Recording a hyper. No problem.

It's okay. It's part of it. Yeah. Yeah.

This is cool everybody. Yeah. You can say hello. Hello.

We're going to move more into like a travellers like questions meaning. Yeah. Because there's so many people that want to travel. You know, we're talking about, you know, people that go to school and believe the lies that we're told.

You know, and most of these people are like in school and trying to get this title so they can get this diploma so they can get this job so they can get this month. Right. And then maybe they can travel. Right.

So many people think that they need that before and they have to save a lot of money and you've got to be rich to be able to travel six months. That's not true. Right. Right.

So that's one of the things that I want to accomplish with this podcast is like to get people to understand that if you want to travel, you can leave next month. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

It doesn't matter how much money you have. Take into consideration when it comes to like loans and payments and if you have more good distance like that, that's good also kind of hinder your experience traveling. If you did, I would have debt. Exactly.

You would like shorten down your time. You would be out and all that stuff. Yeah. So what does it mean for somebody that is on like the edge of wanting to travel, but it's like insecure and not sure if they want to do it.

Not sure, like what would you say to somebody that wants to go? And it's has been waiting for a while? And then, they're trying to find the reason of, like, what would you tell? Um, I'd tell them that the reason they're experiencing so much resistance in making the is because anything that's really worthwhile in life, you're going to experience resistance, it's going to be hard.

And the hardest step that they will take is booking the flight and getting on the plane. And once that's done, the rest will unfold and never look back. And I think, because I have a lot of friends that I've, some of my family and friends I've convinced come travel, they've all been blown away and loved it. Like my cousin is 37 years old and never left Alberta, Canada.

And he came out to Pi to visit me for a month. And he just completely changed the life. Of course. So for those people as well, I mean, I also have other friends who said like, man, it must be nice and I wish I could, but then I'm looking at their situation and they have payments on a brand new car.

And I don't even spend that much on a monthly basis. They're car payments more than I spend to live in Thailand, you know? So maybe reflecting on those things, but until they see it for themselves, they don't really know that. And they might still find a lot of people.

That's a horrible fact. It's perspective, right? Because when you step into a different country and there's like, there's a wave of you perspective. I think that is what keeps me wanting to continue to travel.

It's like, you know, I've been in somebody's place already, but I know that I will get you perspective when I go somewhere, I haven't been before. Or even go back to a place that I have been before when you eyes, because I've been somewhere else in between. Right? So that is definitely, it's a great piece of advice.

Take that really difficult step. And the reason it's difficult is because it's so fucking with it. Yeah. I love that.

So now that we're like on the road, in the conversation, what is the most important lesson you have learned while being on the road? Most important lesson is while being on the road. Okay. Well, something as recent comes up first, and I have to go to the judgment.

By dropping judgment, we are able to have a more full experience by holding onto judgments, which in most cases, didn't originate from us in the first place. They originated from our parents or our teachers or the people that we've been around. By dropping these judgments, we now enter into a world that has so much more potential. You know what I mean?

You actually get to understand people instead of pushing them aside. You actually get to understand situations, why people do things. So I mean, yeah. Dropping judgment.

Massive. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. For sure. How would you say? It's like in a country that they've never lost.

They're 25. The United States are candidate. And they are somebody that grew up with judging parents. I struggle a lot to get out of the county.

What was your first tip? How do you do that? I think I had some materials and maybe videos and things that came in my direction through whatever the universe, myself, whatever, that really opened my eyes to it. Unfortunately, like anything, this goes for anything in life.

Until you step outside of something, it's very hard to be aware of it. It's almost impossible. It's almost impossible. That's why the travel is so important.

Because you won't see your life for what it really is, what really matters, what's really important, and what you actually enjoy until you step away from it. When you're inside of it, it's just so hard to see. It's such a illusion. What about it?

Yeah. What other things have you got? Yeah, for sure. Hmm.

So previous trips, I had priorities such as like a fast motorbike. And I didn't care where I stayed. It was actually harder. But that was one of my priorities.

And I realized now that that was actually something that I was holding onto myself. But it was also something that fed my ego. So even though I love riding, et cetera, the reason when I'd be riding on that bike, your mind starts to go and you're like, oh, that person sees me and that. What do they think?

And all this stuff. And that's not actually fun. It does feed your ego, but it's really not fun. Now when I ride or do something, it's about the experience.

If I buy a car that's fun, it's because it's the experience. And that took that out of it. So I think that's another disconnect there as well. Because now I live extremely inexpensively while traveling.

And because of that, I have more freedom. I'm able to travel for longer. And I'm not missing out at all. If not even more great experiences.

I'm missing out on anything about this other thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And I definitely don't feel that like I'm missing out. It's really fun. Yeah. I already answered this.

So what's your favorite place outside of your home country? And why? Well, we're in it. I think you expected that.

So pie in Northern Thailand has been my favorite place by far. For whatever reason. I know of a few actually regarding like equator lines, crystal quartz in the mountains, maybe all the green or anything like that. But for whatever reason it holds an energy that attracts just all the right people.

It attracts open-minded backpackers. Yeah. And they're the best reflecting to hang around. They show me a lot of the things that I love about myself.

And yeah, they're just very easy to connect with. Because we're all here for a similar purpose. We're here to learn, understand. Yeah.

It's really neat being able to come to one specific place. And learn about every country and every culture. It's like some people might travel to every country to do that. But I feel like you can just travel to pie and the whole world will come to you.

And so people from all over the world, that's a good answer. I'm sure there's other places where there's people from all around the world as well. But if they're on vacation or something, like Southern Thailand, vacation tourists, they're there for two weeks. They've already got work in their minds still.

They're going back in two weeks. They just want to make the best of their time. But that's also based on fear. So they're out drinking.

They're not really connecting. Yeah. Yeah. So this is totally different.

When I was 18, I drank a lot of time. But since then, no. Yeah. I haven't been out once walking through the whole street.

Oh, I can't. Yeah. I've been out drinking one. Oh, I've been out drinking one.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. This is one of the goals that I wanted. I didn't want to spend money on it.

I don't like the hungovers. I don't like the hungovers. Yeah. I mean, there's spirits, right?

What you do is you open yourself up. Like when you're black out, your consciousness goes away, and you allow this other energy to come in, and you don't know what you do, but you get horrible things. And it's like, yeah, to me, it seems obvious, but when you're inside of it, heck no. That does it.

I just want to have fun. Social media criminal has other ways to get out. What destination have you not been to yet on your planet at Gugman? So in seven days from now, I'll be on my way to Ireland.

Never been to Ireland. Never been to Ireland. A friend of mine, Michael, who's from Ireland. He's a magical human, makes me think of the place not to be magical.

However, we're going for a specific reason. Here's a camper van. We're going to hop in this camper van, drive to the boat, pick a boat across England, and we're attending ceremony without getting too much information into ceremony. It's just about reconnecting the disconnected circuitry that we're experiencing right now, the paradigm that we're living in right now.

We have a lot of disconnected circuitry. I mean, it seems obvious now, but maybe to a lot of people wouldn't, because when I was inside of it, it's just the experience. This is a human experience. But if you look at human design and stuff like that, you'll see, wow, this is a strength, and this is a strength, but there's a lot of empty space.

Do you know what I mean? So maybe connecting that empty space back to experience fully. So he's a camper van, and you're going to travel by boat. Yeah.

At least a month. That's sick. Wow. I would say pie, but I think if everyone on Earth came here, it would lose it to magic.

If you've got good intentions, a backpack that doesn't have too much stuff in it, an open heart, an open mind, then sure come with pie. Yeah, we're going to track the right people. Okay, so there'll be more of a travel, like commodities and stuff like that. So name one object or tool that has come in very handy while traveling.

Object or tool? For sure. Full choice is a viable option. Okay, for sure.

Yeah, wow. I think that's another thing. It's like pie is a magical place for connecting and things. However, it seems like this flow community that I find myself in is even next level.

It's like you meet someone and it's a new family member. It's not just a new friend. It's like they're so much there for you. We have so much in common right off the bat.

And I think that's huge. So maybe a really helpful tool while traveling is to have a artistic outlet that you choose. You want to explore further. And therefore, when you're traveling, you'll attract those kind of people and you're just going to further yourself so much bigger.

Yeah. I feel like especially fine and I resonate so much with you saying this is my favorite face on Earth. So far, right? It's been fire.

There's people here all day long that want to connect with you. And it just allows you to open up to who you are. There's no, you know, obviously, there's probably some subconscious in the judgment going on here as well. But it's not as powerful, significant as the word.

Yeah. I think as a place of healing as well. Like, I'm not saying in any way that judgment is bad. I'm saying that it's good to be in a place with less judgment so you can be aware of your judgments and you can heal and move past them.

Because I still, I still have judgments and I go through on a daily basis. I'm getting the point now where I catch them quite quickly. But I wasn't always there. And I think if I wasn't allowed to come to paradise when I still be in that.

But you know what I mean? So it's like, I don't think it's like necessary to not have them. However, do you move the other step away enough? Yeah, be aware and hear it.

Yeah, love that. So, um, you have, as I said earlier, you sound like you've done so many things and then you have a bucket list. And, uh, what, and I'm just curious to what your next list is. Probably a lot of, a lot of things you have on your bucket list that you want to complete.

Definitely. What do you think is the next thing that your class off? Um, yeah. So I want to, I want to be traveling to New Country, because I do have a lot of countries still on my bucket list.

I've been to India, I've been to Vietnam, I've been to Cambodia, I'm in Australia, which I plan to go in March. So I think what I'm going to do, or what I'm attracting to be right now, is creating, creating an image for myself, actually being part of the Medicine Circus is really helping as well. This, this, this thing, because I think what we're moving towards is not being confined to the space for now, which is a beautiful, amazing space paradise. But the, where we become more known around the world to the point where people are, it's already happening for a few members, where I'm able to have the cost covered, to go to these places and countries I want to experience, and perform for people, and connect with people there, and share everything I've learned from other places, but not having the financial burden of having to make money from somewhere else.

Just doing what I love, and it being covered. I don't need to make extra extra money off anything, but if I can have these experiences, I'm experiencing, there's nothing else I need, you know, so I think that's huge amount of stuff. It is. So we're going to move on to some different types of questions.

Um, the first one is, who is the person you missed? Um, I would say my mom, my mom has been my biggest role model in my whole life. She, I've watched her constantly be like, it's crazy now, because now that the time's passed and the memories, the distance in between is kind of irrelevant. So it's like, for instance, um, when she decided, Hey, I want to, I want to live on a boat.

Next, you know, she's got the sailboat, et cetera. And then she's like, I want to be a chef. Four years go by boom, red steel chef. And then she's like, I want to own this 76 foot north having, it's like a 10 million dollar yacht, right?

And, um, so next thing, I think it would be like a few months in, she gets offered to be a chef on this exact specific yacht. So she didn't manifest owning it, but then through this experience, she got to see that she doesn't want to own this. They amount to financial stress and the burden that this boat is huge. She's really grateful to be cooking on it.

Do you know what I mean? Um, and she actually attracted her partner who's a captain. So they're captain the chef team charting boats around the world doing what they love. Yeah.

So being able to see her doing all that and creating her reality, um, it gave me the ability to see that I have that same potential. So I can manifest things like that in my life. Yeah. Yeah, she's awesome.

She came, she came out, she came out to pied of us at me for, uh, about three weeks last year as well. Uh, she came to say to my house and yeah. I got to see his band and all that stuff. Yeah.

Yeah. She's very supportive. That's awesome. What home comfort do you miss the most?

I don't like comfort. I love that answer. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I really don't. Um, because comfortable, this is what I've just said about comfort zones. Yeah.

That's in my nightmares. Um, because you don't grow there necessarily. Yeah, it just slows down your experience. Yeah.

That's what I've. If you have to think one thing. One thing. Uh, yeah.

So where I live specifically, I'll make a round. I don't know of any other place in the world yet that has as great of like river, waterfall, cliff jumping type spots. Literally within anything. Yeah, yeah.

Within a 20 minute radius of where I was living, I have like 30 favorite spots from rope swings to cliff dive, you know, crystal clear water. I dive into the water and drink while I'm underneath it. Like it's a weird experience because you think you'd be drowning, but actually do I dive under to where it's nice and clean and I drink while I'm under water and it's really amazing. Because it's all glacial fed as well, which is like something to know.

A cover island. I didn't know it was an island. You know what's interesting is actually nobody that I've ever met traveling knows that. I say Vancouver Island.

They say, Oh Vancouver, which is on the mainland. Yeah. And believe it or not, to drive across Vancouver Island takes about nine hours. So it's bigger than England, but nobody knows it exists.

You could have something to do with our massive military base up there. Yeah. We have from what I've noticed the most chemtrails in the entire world. Um, like every single day I've had friends calling me conspiracy theorists all growing up, but they never look at the sky.

I watch the sky and I watch these planes go back and forth across the sun and then turn into these fake looking clouds that everyone else thinks are normal in normal clouds. They're not at all. It seems very obvious. Um, but I don't know if that's A to prevent the glacial from melting or B to hide her military base or C just to pollute her shit.

I don't really know, but I definitely see it happening. Yeah. So that could be maybe why people aren't don't know exists. I don't know.

I've never been a fan of any sports. Yeah. I think that's another program that people are as passionate about important things as they were about sports. I have a lot of family members who are so into hockey that if their, their team loses, they have a shitty day and I see that as just so toxic.

Um, so yeah. So I think for that reason I played all sports my whole life, but um, not necessarily specifically. I've never been a fan of watching someone else's place words. Yeah.

Name something that you've brought, but you've not used for your fans. I would have liked to use my hammock, but it seems I lost it on my travels. That's the one thing that we brought to that we didn't use. Yeah.

Interesting. They are hammocks everywhere. Yeah. It's very true.

I'm sure there's something else though. Um, yeah. I can't think of being my fourth time in time and I talk extremely essentials like, uh, I get experienced now. You know, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whereas like obviously the first time most people travel they over pack and end up having to first it out.

So what's the most useful item? Oh, uh, besides my crops, because I use those primarily anything else. Um, most useful item. Maybe my clothes because I walked around naked.

Yeah. I wouldn't be accepted. Yeah. I don't really have like this time I prepared and saved up and bought a lot of electronic things to help out my trade, like the GoPro, editing software and iPad, that kind of stuff.

Um, and that's extremely useful. Yeah. Um, so actually for the GoPro editing, I started using just quick, which is an app made by GoPro and it's completely free, but it takes away all the very time consuming mundane parts of it and does that for you while still allowing you as much creativity as you want. So that's it on the phone.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Just keep, uh, cue you. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's really good.

Nice. There's a couple questions here that I also would, but I imagine that, um, these are things that you can, you know, put yourself. So it's like, what's the best thing to travel advice and receive? That's part of something you've experienced to put yourself and then, you know, that's a bit of travel advice.

Drop your expectations. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

For sure. Um, a lot of times when I would bring up travel or certain countries of people back home, they immediately command me with like 10 things of fear. Yeah. Aren't you, I heard there's a lot of dogs that aren't really looking good.

Aren't you worried about getting this from the mosquitoes? Aren't you worried about all these things? And they create this reality that doesn't exist here at all. Um, I personally don't get any immunizations, any shots, nothing like that.

I'm totally against it. Um, and here I am totally fine. Um, because I really don't believe in any of those things. They're all part of the fear-based paradigm.

Um, they just want you living in that fear, right? And then they have more control over you. I'm so outside of it. I'm not, you know, so, um, that's why I say drop expectations.

Um, drop judgments that goes back to the judgments as well, because generally speaking, if you find out some information online about another country you've never been to, it's just polluting your thoughts about it. It's subjective. That's right. That's right.

And a lot of people, you think we're like this, 100,000 people can come to Thailand have a great experience. They're probably not gonna take a whole bunch of time to write about it on the internet. One person has a horrible experience. They share it.
