I Quit YouTube for 3 Years. Here's What Happened.

After 3 years away from YouTube, I’m back. And I’m starting over. Again!

I built a 600K subscriber travel channel, won a Shorty Award, worked with brands like Google and Netflix, traveled to 70+ countries. Then I burned out and disappeared.

This is the video I wish I’d made years ago – the story behind “living your dream,” what freedom actually costs, and why I’m choosing to start over in public instead of waiting until I have it all figured out.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the “what am I doing with my life” loop, this one’s for you.

I’m uploading every week – sharing the messy reality of building a business, lessons from 10 years as a creator, and what I’m learning as I figure this out in real time.

Subscribe if you’re on your own unconventional path. Let’s do this together.
