Sam, you have the best job in the world, no doubt. Whenever the weather in Manchester, UK is raining and depressing, I turn to your YT videos for an ‘uplift’. I applaud you on very subtle but appropriate background music. Most YTuber’s fail at this hurdle.
Please keep them coming.
Are you running out of places to fly to? I was on the ‘edge of my seat’, re: North Korea. Very brave. So many horror stories but that’s Western propaganda.
Best of wishes, Simon
