Hi Mike, I would like you to make videos about the indigenous peoples of Canada, I am so concerned about them. Yakuta Russia is a place that also attracts my attention for findings that I consider captivating. I want to be the protagonist of your adventures, I hope and we will meet very soon since it is not the same to see them from a screen. I look forward to the next posts bro 🤙☕ with 50 cups of coffee ☕ in my possession

What a message Sam. Happy you've healed some, and my heart goes out to you. What mountains you've summited bro! I love hearing how my content helps people. It's why I do what I do. Any particular questions for me? Would love to tackle some of them in the next Q&A Video

Hi Mike,
I hope you are enjoying the filming of your second series of Uncharted Adventures!
It would be great to watch the first series but I don't live in the US, is there any way of viewing them at all?
And is it going to be the same for the second series?
I have some more questions for a next Q&A session:
- What does fear FEEL like for you?
- Do you have behaviours you use to mask your fear? Do you have any advice on how to not fall into those masking behaviours but instead stay real and authentic while moving through the fear?
- Do you have any new tatoos in the planning? Any life change/occasion to be marked?
- What does "Uncharted Adventure" personally mean for you? (Not the TV Show but in a literal sense)
What would be your dream uncharted adventure?
- What's your favourite thing about "exploring"/being an explorer?
- How do you find the locals you always have at the places you travel to? What do you do to figure out if they are trustworthy?
- Do you find it easy to ask for and accept help from others? When confronted with a situation, do you tend to try and resolve it yourself first or look straight for help or does it depend on the type of situation?
- Only considering your personal travels, not the TV Show, do you think your travel style is possible with children? Do you envisage continuing this kind of lifestyle with a family one day?
If not, what would speak against travelling in this way with children? What would need to change?
- Are you interested in/do you enjoy learning some of the local language of the places you visit?
- How do you prepare for a day of filming?
- Have there been times when filming the TV Show when you had to sacrifice your authenticity for something that would get more viewers? Maybe you have an example to share?
Ok, that turned out to be a few more than I thought, my curiosity got carried away a bit 😅
Thanks for reading and answering any/some of them.
Best wishes,
Nadja

Hello Mike! My name is Sam, I'm from Utah. I discovered your channel a while ago and I was mind blown. My perspective, my goals, and my values have changed from the eye-opening experience of watching your travels and seeing the real world, and I am happy to be a patron! You are taking an incredible path and setting an example for all of us to follow, showing us that the world is not a dark, scary, hopeless place to hide from, it's a beautiful, colorful spectrum of fascinating cultures and friendly people! Proud to support you, Mike. You have made a profound impact on me.
My story is quite a crazy one, and long, but I can summarize... I have been struggling for the last year and a half ever since I woke up on Christmas morning of 2020 paralyzed from the waist down. I broke 4 vertebrae in my back and broke my sacrum, somehow, in my sleep. Turned out I had really bad osteoporosis and my bones were like sponges, I literally broke in half and I was stuck in a bed in a nursing home for several months. I went through torturous nerve pain when my nerves were only partially healing and constantly sending pain signals for two months straight. When it finally went away with treatment I went from paralysis to a wheelchair to a cane, to short walks, and now after a long and painful process and daily injections to increase my bone density, I am able to jog and even play basketball again. And the reason I'm saying this is because you have been a huge and important inspiration to me, Mike! To endure what I did, I needed to have hope in a future, a reason to keep going, I needed to have my eyes opened. Your travels and your videos have made me realize that traveling and seeing the world is what I want more than anything in life, and that it's not crazy, it's possible! I have been recovering my strength and restoring my bones one day at a time, and thanks to you, I know what I am working towards. I want to travel the world, eat all the food, meet all the people, experience all the cultures, and to do things that are difficult and uncomfortable. Someday I will visit these remote tribes, someday I hope to traverse Siberia, someday I hope to meet Ekeko the Living Monument.
I don't know how to express how much you have inspired me, Mike! Thank you for doing what you do, for facing your fears, and showing us all what is possible!

Great to meet you too John, and hope you had a blast a WDS, I've always wanted to go myself! Happy to hear I've been able to pay my fear fighting forward. Happy you're here bro! 🐉

Hey Mike! I'm so excited for you and all of these things coming up. Still stoked that we got to meet and hang out a bit at TravelCon in Memphis. I just got back from the World Domination Summit in Portland, Oregon and feel that I have validation for my own travel-related pursuits. I'll be working on branding, messaging, and content creation as I try to figure out how I can monetize that but also trying to enjoy the journey.
I've been here for a few years, but I'll introduce myself again. I'm John McKenzie, and I recently quit my job to pursue my mission of encouraging, promoting, and cultivating curiosity through travel. I want more people to open their minds to other options when it comes to travel, and start using their explorer's mindset. My point is that you can have a great travel experience wherever you go, whether it's the wilds of Togo or rural Missouri. I live in the Washington, DC area but am originally from Kansas. My official brand name is GeODDgraphy and I have a basic travel blog called John The Traveler.
Mike, you have definitely been an influence encouraging me to work through fear by leaning into it instead of avoiding things that make me uncomfortable. My next "fear" challenge will be video! THANK YOU for continuing to push boundaries and pursue your dreams, thereby encouraging others to do so. Looking forward to seeing you continue to shine this year. Happy Belated Canada Day and Happy USA Independence Day to you! 🐉🐉🐉
