him and Harald Baldr together are fucking hilarious in their adventures. seen most if not all their vids. wild and insightful at times. both men are very fortunate.
What's the backstory? Did he get divorced, lose his job etc and thought fuck it, midlife crisis time? Haha.
Lol. Actually not much is known about him or his life before he started doing those vlogs. Harald Baldr apparently convinced him 4-5 yrs ago to get into it and they've shared many travels together. He liked it and got hooked on it right away. Rumors though suggest he was some kind of agent for Russia because he extensive knowledge of Russian history and how well he speaks the language. Other rumors I'm certain you can look up but no proof of any of them being true.
I enjoy him a lot him and Harald they can walk down the shadiest streets..."most dangerous ones" and show no fear and just laughing it up and off. Learn a lot about India from him too if one were ever inclined to vacation there watch his advice/hates about it in some of his vids. Very insightful.
You don't need to speak the full language of an area where you're walking down bad streets to avoid harm.
It's all in your presentation or swagger.
Situational awareness will get you past a bad situation nearly every time. So many times I put on sunglasses at three in the morning while street gangs were walking towards me and at the last 5-10 seconds visibly clenched my fists.
It wasn't an easy target... and then went on searching for another one.
And when I was out of my element and realized a gang was zig zag tracing me and a girlfriend in a foreign nation to both of us, I made it a point to take out a lock back pocket knife, open it up, and put it in my sleeve while they watched me watching them, though I wasn't meant to know they were tailing us.
And even in her own country, we had zig zag gypsies trying to punish her for being with me or punishing me for shutting them down in the common square when they got hateful and woke...and my words made everybody laugh at them.
That dude had an eight inch hunting knife and he trailed us until we got behind some gates and he hid behind a van.. broad daylight!
The GF said don't provoke him, so I went out to the balcony and gave him a 20 second bird... he must have been high on something because he looked like he was getting hit by imaginary fists. He ran like a coward.
That was the same guy who called me a gringo and cursed me out in the public square, and who I responded with a very local turn of phrase that meant "Go fuck yourself/knock your shit off, idiot".
He got butthurt about it... and then he stalked us and ran...
I had to tell the GF we were changing positions aqui, aqui, aqui, and aqui... and she wanted to fight me as any any good latina does. But that angst disappeared after we got through the gate and up to the balcony and she saw that gypsy fuck holding a hunting knife and hiding behind a vehicle...
