so last week I did something that I've
always wanted to do I flew to a brand
new city completely by myself and filmed
the whole entire experience on this this
is a samsung galaxy note 9 and with this
long-lasting battery insane screen and
display and expandable storage the note
9 is the most powerful camera available
in the premium smartphone category so my
little message to you guys go out and
creates with the tools in your hand this
is my trip to Hong Kong enjoy thank you
to Samsung for partnering with me to
create this video good morning today is
the day that I fly to Hong Kong all by
myself without anybody well this is it
this is my bag my entire life is shared
with other people I am always with
somebody I'm always doing things with
somebody there's honestly not too much
time in my life that I spend alone other
than going to bed and you know showering
and you know the necessities go to the
airport or doing it the idea of flying
to a foreign country and staying all by
myself is a very intimidating idea you
know I think I'm ready for it
I think I'm honestly ready to be a
challenge it's gonna be uncomfortable at
times but I think I'm honestly ready for
this so I'm in Hong Kong
I'm really tired I'm intensely tired
needless to say I'm headed to bed oh
good night I am intensely jet-lagged I
have no idea what time it is I don't
know what time I think it is I'm
jet-lagged man and let me be perfectly
honest I have no idea what I'm going to
do today I'm never really the one that
makes the plans usually there's somebody
on my side that plans for me but I'm
excited optimistic and ready to tackle a
city by myself it's a big scary City I'm
all by myself this is going to be
interesting so I'm trying to find the
train station not sure where it is
feeling if I keep walking maybe I'll run
into it at first I was confused this was
my first time being alone in such a big
city well I found the transition not
quite sure what to do where to go oh my
here no no from here maybe I'm here
there were so many options for the Train
and I didn't even know where I wanted to
go initially confused lost tired
and I don't know what I'm doing why
eventually I figured out how to get onto
the train and I was proud of myself I
did it all by myself and then without
any set plan I got to see the first
glimpses of this incredible city
[Music]
and there I was solo I was doing it I
don't even know what it was that I was
doing exactly but I was experiencing
Hong Kong and it was incredible I had a
mission to capture the beauty of the
city and for the first time I wasn't
carrying around my huge camera I could
go wherever I wanted and see whatever I
wanted to see all by myself I then
stumbled upon a path that led up I had
no real idea where it led but I kept on
it I've no idea what I'm doing but the
direction is up it went up and up and up
which of course made me incredibly tired
once I finally got to the top I still
didn't know where I was I have no idea
where I am
but elite is pretty so I just kept on
walking until I came across a view that
overlooked the entire city check this
out and since I had my phone with me and
I was able to capture these beautiful
shots yes it's true the note 9 can sure
shoot in low lights today it was kind of
a surreal day for me at first I felt a
little bit weird just being so alone and
just being by myself that as a day went
on it felt so normal it was almost as if
I could physically feel myself becoming
more comfortable with my own self look
at the shot wow that's such a beautiful
shot
today I really want to try to make a
friend it's going to be hard because I
don't know anybody in the city the city
of 12 million people odds are one of
them could be my friend we'll see
fingers crossed how to make it friends
in a new city and wish I could tell you
I had absolutely no strategy on making a
friend and I had no idea how it was
going to happen City Mexico ii strangers
see I thought she was gonna be the one
but I got too scared to talk no but it's
crazy other could be so many people but
at the same time no one at all I was in
a city of 12 million people but couldn't
get the nerve to talk to a single one no
idea where I am
but what else is new anyone want to be
my friend so many people yet nobody at
all I'm on a boat
Wow but when you expect at least
sometimes it just kind of happens it's
very fun it's cool it was an incredible
feeling finally talking to somebody this
was the longest period of solitude I had
ever experienced and to finally sit down
and actually talk to real-life people it
felt great goodbye
I think I'm just now realizing how
important this trip has been for me I'm
sorry liens on others and I'm never
going to devalue the necessity of
friends but it's crucial that I'm
comfortable with myself and and being by
myself and these last two days have been
very liberating for me
needless to say I'm headed to bed good
night so it's already my final day here
in Hong Kong and I don't know the only
goal that I really have for today is to
find the most beautiful view of the city
possible and just kind of look out and
ponder so everybody I talked to in Hong
Kong recommended that I visit Victoria
speak which is the city's best lookout
and one of the best in the world this
would be the perfect drop up to my trip
so that's where I had I am walking to
what is supposedly the best view of Hong
Kong and now I'm on this trail that will
take me to the view really excited
because I love good views and closer I
can feel it been walking for a while and
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
it's too foggy to see anything all the
buildings over there the entire meet of
the skyline is not visible but you know
what it's okay it's all good so what did
I gain from all this and I'm not quite
sure I think I see this more as an
accomplishment that I flew to a place
I'd never been to with only myself to
guide the way I was honestly super
skeptical that I would actually enjoy
this experience but I did and of course
I did because I've spent it with me and
I am someone that I'm finally starting
to enjoy it's a beautiful night thank
you again to Samsung for partnering up
with me on this project and for helping
me travel the world and document it all
without being held back by my gear thank
you and goodbye
