I don't believe him. I think he'll be putting out videos for the next few years. The only thing that might slow him down is if he gets married again and has a child. He'll still travel, but not as often, and not in the rough and tumble way he does now to such remote and sometimes desolate and dangerous locations.

Bald - you've had such a huge impact on travel channels and vloggers, laying the foundations for a renaissance of simple, pure videos. Just how KZfaq was designed to be (Broadcast Yourself). Most KZfaqrs I know feel like a slave to "the algorithm" and you just seem not to care and focus on making good videos, which is simultaneously the simplest concept in the world and also the hardest to imagine for people who've been asking the internet to "smash like" every day for the past few years. Super glad I got that one Moldova video in my recommended in 2019 which led to me watching every single video of yours. I'm along for the ride til the last stop.

Then Romania, Moldova, The PMR (Transnistria) and Ukraïne. My best mate found a lovely girlfriend, from Dnipro. We still talk about the Adventures we had. And oh boi, we had a lot. We have this running joke that if we filmed it all Vice would hire us. From shooting guns in a semi legit gunrange in a former Atomic bunker in Moldova, being the longest (We are Dutch.) people on the beach of Odessa, to having to pull semi piramid schemes in Tiraspol to get cash in a country that doesn't exist...

I was definitely upset too, but part of me is happy because one of the main things about this channel is that it has always given me hope that no matter what your situation is you can always change and that you never have to stay in one place in life. And let's be honest, no one could do this forever. I would hate to see an old, tired and bored Benjamin wondering about because he feels like he can't do anything else. Change is the nature of life and this channel is proof that you should embrace it. How lucky we were to have it.

Each wanderer, although he has chosen his own fate and would never change his fate, but sometimes has a moment when, walking through the village at dusk and seeing through the window the room where the family sits at the table in the circle of the lamp, feels fear for the future, grief for the past and uncertainty whether he chose correctly......

If you guys think about it, there are probably only a handful of blessings that we can count on that feeds our soul and gives us purpose, energy and momentum to carry on and that's - Family, extra money, our health, our children, great food, music, a cool or warm breeze that rushes across our face suddenly, the warm glow of the sun, gentle rain hitting the windows and roof, the soft roar of waves coming in, barefoot on sand or grass, love, romance and intimate moments with that special someone, and many other things as well, but another blessing for many of us is being able to escape along with Mr. Bald. I am not sure if he realizes this, but we don't really care if it's Russia ( Russia and all of those other countries however are really beautiful, beautiful people ) however, we would follow him anywhere to be honest.
