I've got something special and long-awaited for you guys today.
I am going to tell you my story, and
I feel like telling you my story here in Uttarakhand because to me
this place feels like the New Zealand of India. I feel at home here.
This is my cabin in the woods here in Uttarakhand. So let's go in here and
I'll tell you my story.
The question everybody's is tying is "Why India?"
And it all began when I was 18 and I tried
Indian food for the very first time. I was just mind blown
when I put that terrible, what was it... Butter Chicken in my mouth and it was
it was water down from a can and it just tasted terrible but
I loved it, I fell in love and,
you know that's when my passion for India began.
And since then I just started making Indian friends
and just started learning everything I could
about Indian culture. I started learning a few words of Hindi at
that time too and at the beginning it was just for fun so
I could use a few words with my friends and my girlfriend. Now, its
more about so I can integrate into society here
in India and so I can talk to every single one of my
North Indian brothers. So for 10 years I soaked it all up,
I soaked up everything I could about India and then I
finally went there in 2013, and before
I even got there, I knew I was going to love India because I had this
crazy obsession for it and then when I did get there, you know
it was, of course, love at first sight.
You know, there are so many things I love about India.
Whether it's the food, the people, the landscapes, the cities, the...
There's too much, there's too much.
I love the diversity here. Every single state is different.
India has everything, it got the mountains,
lush tropical forests, its got the forests here like in Uttarakhand,
its got mountains, its got a tropical islands,
beaches. It's just got everything.
And you can never get bored here because of that and when I compare
India to New Zealand
its not really a fair comparison because
you know New Zealand is so so small and you just
can't find the vast amount of experiences in New Zealand that you can here
in a massive country like India.
Then the second question everybody asks me is "Why the hell
did you move to India?" People from India, they move to the west
people from the west don't move back to India you know it
doesn't make sense to many people. But since the very first time that I
visited India I knew India is somewhere I wanted
to be and that I wanted to spend a long time. At that time,
I didn't know exactly how I was gonna be here long-term
but I knew one day it would happen. Then one Friday afternoon
in 2016, my boss
at the IT company that I was working for she called me into her office.
And when your boss is calling you into her office
on a Friday at 4:30 PM it's usually not a good thing.
I have been through this before actually, so I sat down
opposite her, and she told me there's no work for me there anymore
and that I'm being made redundant. And, as soon as she said
those words made redundant, I just remember going into like a trance in my head
and I just remember thinking to myself, you know, this
is the push that I need to get out of here
and to go to India, and to do what I want in life.
Not be slaving for someone else. Straight after
that meeting I just got on my motorbike and I just rode home and I remember this
feeling of like amazing freedom as I was riding home
I knew it was time for me to become a self-made
and a free man and I knew that I was gonna go to India
and do it there. So I said goodbye to my career
and my friends and I decided to come to India and
travel to every single state and Union Territory and
India before partition and I didn't know where this goal
was going to take me but I was willing to take this risk and
see what happens. A lot of people ask me
what I do for work in India and I don't work here and I never will.
I will never work for anybody else ever again.
Now that I'm a free-man, I can do everything I can to keep it that way.
Money or a comfortable life aren't my goals.
My goals are to contribute to your happiness and just
to help people in life, to help others. Those are the
two things I wanted to do in my life. What I believe is that
when you follow your passion the money will come to you
and more importantly good people will come into your life. So,
I don't worry about the money, I just follow my passion.
When I got to India I wrote a quick start safety guide to help
foreigners to travel safely and confidently so
they can enjoy India and love India as much as I do.
And so I made a few YouTube videos to promote that book.
And those videos did so well that
I decided to keep on going with YouTube. So I still do this.
I still help foreigners travel safely and confidently here, but I am also gonna be sharing
my life in India. I am gonna be showing India through my eyes. I am not interested in creating mindless entertainment.
With my videos, I want to teach you something about India.
I want to expand your mind. I wanna...
