I hope you enjoyed my journey and my experience living in Bali, even tho it was cut much shorter than expected by my scooter accident and there was still so much more I wanted to discover. ( I crashed, not my brother, and no one died, whilst writing this video a year later I created the ending to feel as if that could have been the end for me given the nature of it, however looking back on it, It actually seemed very much as though someone did, so apologies for this ) To those wondering about my masterclass. Due to my accident and some downward energy afterwards, it has been very delayed and is currently still in the planning stages. However it's on the way and I'll be making it into an incredible course for those who want to learn my ways of creating. I'm also not living in Bali anymore, due to my accident and other things but even though Bali is a great place to meet other creators and feel apart of something more, I learn't my home, Melbourne is a much more viable and realistic place to work on my projects and ambitions, so for now I'll be here grinding! Also apologies for any adds in the video, I chose to use lots of non copy-write free music and that means automatic adds /:

bro, this felt like a holywood movie. masterpiece

No ! There is no way I can watch this video without saying your editing skills and story telling skills are amazing . You got a talent !

This is highest quality youtube video I have ever seen. Your cinematography skills are amazing and this video is truly inspirational!

the ammount of work put into this video is UNBELIEVABLE everything is modified with mind blowing precision, shout out to you buddy you deserve waaay more subscribers.

the storytelling, the cinematography, the edit, this is truly youtube premium!!!!

Ive been a full time digital nomad/expat for the last 18 years, at 20 years old back in 2004 i started my first ecommerce company in Europe, and realized i could run the business from anywhere in the world so i went travelling around the world for 2 years while growing my business which was the best feeling in the world because i was growing my savings WHILE travelling, i was probably one of the first humans to ever be able to do that. After 2 years of travel i settled down in boracay island Philippines and made it my home while still travelling about 50% of the time but having a base in the Philippines. If you're thinking of going travelling or getting into this life, DO IT, TODAY! start today. Its a whole different universe to the 9-5 in your home town.

How on earth you're under a million subscribers is beyond me. Always enjoy watching your stories and insights into life mate! Hopefully you didn't do too much damage. As someone who travels and works a lot I can relate to the challenge of finding the right place to focus and knuckle down on work.

Apart from your accident, this video is sick, Benn. Unreal transition, incredible effect, great 3D map, smooth story telling. You officially are my new favorite video creator.. ❤🎉

BENN! This video is SO WHOLESOME! Apart from all the amazing visuals and effects, it also inspired me afresh. Here in South Africa I sometimes feel completely isolated in the KZfaq Space but it's guys like you and Niklas who keep me motivated! I also stayed in Bali for extended periods and it's exactly how you describe it, well done bro you smashed it!!! So bummed about your crash, I had a few near misses myself and I'm always nervous when traveling far or going through the busy areas. Keen to see the next one!

I have watched A LOT of travel videos and I am telling you, this is the best edit and storytelling I have ever seen. Looking forward to Part II.

Beautiful bro! I can relate to this. It feels like living between two worlds. Time we all start collaborating in this KZfaq space and inspire a new generation🙌🏽 Beautiful video!

I can see how much effort you put in this video. Thanks for your hard work 🙏

The production of this video is incredible. Such a masterpiece

Benn, I don’t know why, there is something in your editing and story telling, that always touch my heart. Your passion reflects through your work. Why this kind of masterpiece can’t get the reach…!!!?? I want millions of people see your videos and appreciate your work, thanks for giving best 14:39mins. ❤ I live in Sydney, hopefully one day i will meet with you.

I first came across your video and I'm completely shocked by how well it was filmed, how well thought out the change of frames is, how everything looks aesthetically pleasing, graphics, transitions and effects are a separate respect, I have not seen anything like this. It can be safely called a movie or series that is above the level of Netflix. A very well presented story. It's a pity that under the video I can leave only one like, because I would leave a million of them here!

that was some amazing edits, Benn. I am so sorry that you and your group had to face such an unfortunate incident. I am waiting for the next video...

I am very glad to hear that no-one was killed in the scooter accident. It came across to me as if your brother was the one with the accident. On another note: this is by far the best-produced, funniest video with so many great ideas that I have ever seen on KZfaq, and I watch a lot. So greatest respect, also for your courage and I hope you fully recover and find the energy to carry on producing videos. All the best to you! Ralph from Germany

As a fellow Aussie who has been to Bali, this filmmaking is a piece of art and a great depiction of the beauty Bali has to offer

You've grown into one of the best KZfaqrs out there, you tell a story like no other, manage to make it truly touching, put in so much love into the project with great attention for detail and you have incredible shooting and editing skills, turning the video into a work of art. And you're only getting started! Wish you well Benn, stay safe!

Been watching you for a long time. Your cinematography has always been insane. And now your storytelling is getting there as well. This story was off the charts. And I loved how you ended the video. Good to hear your getting better ❤

incredible video Benn! wish more people knew how much work goes into making something like this!

Brother, you're an undiscovered gem when it comes to storytelling and video editing. Absolutely perfect, can't wait to see more! I have the same wish as you, maybe one day me and my life partner we'll be able to do this leap. We love Bali so much, we've been 3 times and it's really close to our heart!

I'm glad this appeared in the feed while I was searching for Bali. This video is pure magic 🎩 Thanks for being a gifted storyteller and mesmerising editor, Benn

Another masterpiece. Thanks for always being an inspiration.

Bro you just earned a sub👍A masterpiece, the narration, the shots, the transitions, everything was so well put. Looking more videos from you 🙌

This was one the greatest videos I’ve ever seen on KZfaq (and I watch a lot of filmmakers content!). Dude….wow wow wow! I’m so glad you’re doing better after the accident and that you’re still committed to launching that course. I’ll definitely be having a look at what you’re offering. Lastly, I had a very similar experience as you with moving to Nosara, Costa Rica during the pandemic and having it not work out. 5 days ago I decided to do KZfaq full-time and this video came into my feed at the perfect time to help inspire the journey. Much love, Benn. Happy Healing.

Wow. I can’t tell you how much I relate to this as a creator in a vacuum of “normal” life back home. I’m actually moving to Bali for a few months, for similar reasons, and hopeful that I experience and love it as much as you have. Hope the recovery is going well and looking forward to part two.

My Brother Ben, I must express how deeply I admire your unique style in presenting scenes...😌 The tranquility it brings to my soul is akin to having experienced a heartfelt cinematic masterpiece...🌟♥️

You put more into videos than most people by far. Incredible work Benn. Was curious about the Bali move myself, so this is good to hear!

Happy to see you again Ben! 👏❤🎉Don't stop creating! Your videos are inspiration!

This video is one of the best videos that I have ever seen, in terms of story telling, transitions and elements. Such a unique style, but amazing. Well well done 😆☺️

Brilliant work Benn, I’ve just left Melbourne after 6 years myself, currently in the Philippines and heading to Vietnam this weekend. Your video makes me realise how far behind I am , but I guess I can only get better 👍👍

This video and your story is so captivating. I have lived and worked in Melbourne for 10+ years. I’ve just come back from Bali and toying with the idea of living there and starting out as a content creator. As a tropical fruit and sun lover it ticks a lot of boxes. But the transport thing is the ONE thing that has had me hesitating. There really is no viable way to get around other than a scooter. So timely I stumbled across your video and story. This video is a job well done 👍 I’m hanging out for the sequel!

I dont know how to label this video but this is the best "travel/motivation/self-improvement" video I've ever seen. Seriously touched me man! The ammount of dedication and hard work you have put it, the story telling, the color grading and sound design are just on another level. I hope I see more videos in the future!

I've been watching your videos for 3 years now and I can see the progress you've made as a video maker. Hats off to you! Great story! Hope to meet you in Bali or around. Cheers👋

this video was amazing from the editing to the storytelling, really enjoyed watching, thank you Something also tragically happened to my health recently, so I can relate to the quote at the end about unpredictable events making an already short life even shorter 🙏

Thank you, the high quality production makes watching peacefully & extra enjoyable, Your an inspiration brother thank you

THIS IS DEFINITELY THE MOST WELL CONSTRUCTED VIDEO OF YOURS!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 I love it so bad🫡but I didn’t expect the way you end the movie… I’m glad that we knew you were fine now!

Having lived in phangan and Samui Thailand for six and a half years I've seen many videos bigging up tropical climates like Bali. I lived in ubud for one month and the traffic is a nightmare. These videos rarely mention the downsides... one of the biggest being it's like living in a 30 degrees steamroom sauna all year round which is insanely draining for energy levels and you become trapped inside Aircon spaces for most of the day until 5.30pm when it starts to get cooler then it gets dark at 6.30pm. Bali is a paradise but too hot to explore in the day except for one hour, which is the hour when the mosquitoes come out late afternoon 5.30 pm to 6.30pm. I'm going back to UK as Ive had enough of the insane heat and humidity, it causes work productivity to go right down

Ben, amazing video it hit so many levels. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

This is indeed different. Thanks for this, Ben! Can't wait for part 2

Making music for a living since 2015 in a smalltown in rural Sweden. I also feel very alone in this creative journey. But I have tried living abroad and I felt even more isolated and far from family. A place like Bali which is full of creatives is something I wish to try sometime! Amazing video!

Hi Benn, i am so touched by this video, not only a mentioning, but you literally made me feel special, not every big creator could do this. So grateful to be a part of this Benn, i miss you and hope to see you again in the future! Youre famous as a transition king, but your story telling is so inspiring bro. Keep it coming Benn🔥

So much appreciated when someone is sharing a lot of personal things from his life. And a big surplus that you do it with an EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY!! Thank you for Being You!!!!!!

In love with this video. The love you put in the editing and cinematography. Thankyou

Hey, that video was on a whole other level. I can't even begin to imagine the hours and effort you put into this one. Crazy... From storytelling to shooting to editing... And my gosh that SOUND DESIGN. WTF. All the best dude!

This videos finds me in the right moment. Last couple of weeks were so stressful - insecurity, self-doubt, feeling alone, feeling not good enough. A inner battle that seems endless. The only way to live your life as a winner is to "chase what excites and live it widly" just like you said at the end. Thank you for this video, for the inspiration and the motivation! Get well very soon. ❤

🏠🌅 Following your Bali journey was inspiring! Real talk about dreams vs. reality. Thanks for sharing your honest experience! 👏🏼💭

I am so inspired by you in general that I also started with filmmaking and content creation. You are a role model to me and after this video I truly appreciate your work even more and the impact you have on the whole creator niche even more. Your biggest fan, Tobias!

You've gone from a great Content Creator/Filmmaker to a compelling storyteller. You have become a reference for a lot of people.

Dude your editing, filming and acting skills are insane!!!!! I’m soooo inspired! Keep doing what you are doing you are awesome! I want to be you when I grow up oh wait I’m a million years old…🤭😅😂😂😂

Your stories so inspiring me, thank you ben!

This is awesome story of yours benn..Always take good care when travelling and pray for your safety.. Life is too short so we need to enjoy life but we need to take care of ourself..God bless and more vlogs! 😊👊🏻

I'm Javanese, Indonesian, but I've never been to Bali.....with this video story, I hope to go on vacation to Bali another time 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Amazing filmmaker 👍👍👍

Wait!! But did you survive the crash?! 😨 also loving this series bro 👏🏼

Ooooh you are a talented boy!!! Exceptional work. What a great find this video is.

Love your all videos , Benn You 're excellent.

Who else cant wait until next BenTK video ❤

You’re getting a pass because you have genuine talent, but I have to reiterate what I said under the last video I’m tired of the “I’m going to Bali to find myself” stuff and Bali in general. It’s soooo over-saturated at this point I can’t even bring myself to talk about it Having lived there for 2 years I never want anything to do with it again Canggu influencer circle jerk is the most annoying place on earth. It’s full of wannabe travel bloggers, cardboard personality girls hunting for an influencer bloggers and two occasional KZfaqrs filming a new DJI commercial People love the “paradise” because it’s cheap and warm, and if you’re a creator - as a bonus, the nature does most of the work for you Anyone I’ve ever met who says “this is my home, I finally found a place where I belong” says the *exact same thing* about Ibiza or the gulf states as soon as they’re able to afford those Go to Sri Lanka, go to Maldives, go to Kenya, go to Reunion Island or Madeira for god’s sake. Bali is dramatically overrated and I can’t stand watching it regurgitated again and again anymore This video is excellent, like I said, you’re certainly very talented, butt it hits every single Bali cliche in the book 🫠

Amazing bro, I miss Bali even more after seeing this piece of art! I'm sorry about your crash! Hope you're doing allright ❤

Your videography and story telling abilities are top class, love watching your videos and hope your recovery is fast!

Your community is here, Benn, not Bali. I have followed you since the early days before this channel blew up (initially as a lurker, then as a subscriber) and I used to love the short form videos that really showcased your editing skills. I think new viewers will find it difficult to become invested in you if you keep up the long form stuff, especially with oversaturated content like Bali. As a photographer and videographer myself, I know how much work goes into these videos and so I'm sure hearing this type of feedback can be painful, but it comes from a place of love. I have shared your work with all my friends over the years because what you are able to produce at times just boggles the mind. Sam Kolder sort of popularised this kind of content, but there is no doubt in my mind you took that kind of work to the next level. It seems to me that in recent videos you are trying to find this middle ground between travel videos and filmmaking/telling a story, but in the end it feels like both are found wanting, because one takes away from the other. It doesn't help that you are trying to tell a story in the context of travelling and visiting oversaturated places like Bali. I think at some point there will be a split in the road where you actually need to decide whether you make films with plots and stories beyond the whole "travelling to find myself and explore" concept, or whether you go back to doing what you do best: the short, relentless videos with next level editing (but in places that are not oversaturated), and you pitch them to brands, or local travel companies and agencies. I work for one in Cyprus, and would love to collaborate with you - no one has done anything like this yet here. Alternatively, maybe go down a different path where you actually make short films and pitch them at festivals. I realise this might be an unpopular opinion, but I also think it has to be said. I will continue to follow you and support you on your journey.

Just love this, is like watching a short but great film, stay safe my friend ❤

It's crazy how talented you are and how many people you have inspired!

Once again a great video. I like the transitions and effects so much. I'm looking forward to what I'll report about Bali.

Amazing work with this video, this is like movie! Great job!!

😍😍😍😍 this video is a masterpiece, thank you for this!!

Can’t wait for part 2, thanks for sharing your story. Had very similar experience in the Philippines with my friends and it was quite terrifying how exposed you feel when something bad happens so far away from home.

Amazing editing and storytelling, keep up the good work !

Always love your videos and content Benn!

This video is amazing! I hope to see you in Bali soon!

This is inspiring man, i resonate completely.. 26 y/o coming from Melbourne, i know how isolated you can feel going for this path while everyone around you is lost in a daily loop. You're a risk taker and bet on yourself. Melbourne is a beautiful place with an amazing vibe, the people are also great, but there's more out there to be experienced, so many places. Probably walked right past each other in the city without even knowing it haha. This is awesome and shows the potential thats out there for anyone.

Gosh hope you feel better 🍀🤞 video looks incredible 👍 congratulations and always keep it up, never give up! Sometimes life needs to get on right tracks 😃 all the best!

Really enjoyed watching your film. You have an awesome life ben! Keep creating awesome films

Incredible story telling, we felt like we where there for the whole journey. Bali truly is a beautiful place. We had a similar scooter experience on our bali journey which lead to 5 stiches in the knee and eventually requiring intravenous anti biotics. Bali hospitals are scary. Those pot holes and dodgy roads up the the north of the island are so rough, could have been the exact same road as well. Took us a month to recover while we had some touch and go moments, im sure yours was even worse. Looking forward to the next episode and im glad you are ok, keep up the epic work legend.

Benn I can't describe this in words the efforts the skills you put in every video is outstanding you doing an amazing job I saw almost every video and the editing the shots everything is so detailed.

Easily one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Such inspirational moments in this video!

Absolutely incredible video, very nice! Loved it, you are incredibly talented, I hope you will find your dream.

Thank you Benn, I enjoyed every content from your channel!

Benn my bro! I definitely related hard with this video and the alienation that comes with our career choice. Mad kudos to your insane VFX and storytelling skills... this truly was a different Bali video. Keep on inspiring the world man. Hope to travel together soon!!

Ben, I love the way you present things, lots of love to your work 🤍

This is so far the best video I've watched in my life. Everything about is a masterpiece. I still have goosebumps and actually this is the sign I needed to go on a different path.

Mate, amazing work! Love how you’re always pushing the boundaries of visuals and story. Well done! Looking forward to the next part! 👊🏻🔥

It’s great seeing your growth and journey! I remember your days of making videos whilst being a cabinet maker !

This is brilliant Benn. The visuals, the pace, the storytelling! One of the best videos I have seen this year. 👏🏾

definitely my most fav videographer. after so many years, you're still the only content creator that put lots of efforts in every single video. never regret being your subs since under 100k subs. keep on going and stay strong.

i totally love what you do and i admire the skills and vision you have to see things differently i love how you do the transition and i love to see your videos more frequently and ( small cuts maybe so that we keep looking at you and interacting with you

This is how an impressive content is created; many out there are just dumping the content; Kudos to you!!

Absolutely amazing video!!! And so inspiring!!!

Wow! No words for this video! It’s amazing 🤩 This is better than any documentary or movie! Loved it so much!! Wow! ❤

I always love how you make videos. My favourite were the ones about Vietnam. Your videos always inspires me to travel more and get excited in exploring. I’m so glad to see you’ve uploaded new videos. Finally, more quality content to watch on youtube.🙂

Life is like a bird song, it's all about the journey. Amazing work like always, good luck Ben.

Thanks for your incredible work ❤

beautiful video, great cinematography. Good luck on your journey! subbed!!

Best vlog ive seen on YT, your editing skills are incredible. Hope whatever happened, you're recovering well.

Bro this is Brilliant. Awesome , Impressive masterpiece !! Luv your work

I am always amazed by your craft. Hopefully I can create mine in the future. Keep posting amazing short story videos.

Wow!!! Your journey, storytelling and unique skill sets are remarkably epic! I was captivated and I love your beautiful artistic vision. I am super curious to see what happens with your story! 🎉

This is next level content creation.. BRAVO!!!!
