I almost cried with relief when you finally said it was not the videos, but the the guesthouse that was being discontinued. Running a B&B sounds like such fun, but I have friends who've done it & it's a ton of work. Glad the videos are continuing, it would be a shame to waste Phillipp's great talent as one of the premier influencers of the decade.

This episode’s is when he says he tries to leave the girls in the forest but they always find their way home. Too funny. Can’t wait for next week!

Glad to hear that you will still be vlogging, I would miss my weekly dose of sarcastic humor. 😂 Suggestion… since you have the guest rooms, would it be practical to use them for occasional volunteers? If you had one or two per month they could potentially help you speed along your renovations, and would make use of the spaces you already have available. Most of your followers would probably happily put in a week of work at the chateau in exchange for staying in such a lovely place (and maybe a day free to explore the area).
