I have been an expat since 2009 in multiple countries. Reverse culture shock is very real and gets worse the longer you have been away.

I’d be happy if you kept making videos even when you’re an old man. Even if they’re not travel videos, I’d still enjoy watching them. I’d love to see you relaxing alone in a park, filming a video during a break at work, or just sharing little glimpses of your everyday life✨

Hope you're doing well Zane. I just came back from Japan for the second time and I hit a few spots you recommended. Can't wait to go back.

" looks like empty town, lonely place, nobody outside, and a cold winter weather adds the grey color of the surroundings' it's very different from the Philippines , very lively, many people, and its really more fun any hour of the day"

Good to see you back again Zane. I'll be visiting the Philippines for the first time in March to see my girlfriend. I can't wait! Your content has gotten me even more excited and inspired for the trip!

I experienced this more than 20 years ago. I moved to Japan, and when I went back to the US after two years..well, let´s just say that the customer service needs to improve back home.

Was concerned with the 2 month silence. Glad to see you doing well and could rest. I bet the wonderful Bambi really missed you during the holidays. Great discussion video. Would love to see you and Bambi visit a place like Switzerland together and ride the famous train. Enjoy Boracay!

Great to hear from you again Zane! I think expanding on your content by visiting places you've never been before outside of Asia like you did with Australia and NZ would be the next step for channel and community growth as it expands your audience even more. I'm thinking places like Europe, Africa, and South America. Whatever you do man, we'll be here watching!

I’m in the same boat, been back in the US 2 months after being gone for almost a year. The biggest reverse culture shock is the prices of everything. Getting used to how expensive things are in the US again is crazy. Also how bad the walkability is here. I will be heading out soon.
