Browser tab content: 3 and 1/2 months ago, my buddy Pim and I
set out on the craziest adventure of our
lives. Starting in the Netherlands, we
set out to travel to all seven
continents without a dime in our
pockets. In the first days, we
hitchhiked to
Switzerland and quickly discovered that
selling waffles on the streets of Zurich
can earn you ridiculous amounts of
money. A few days later, with 22,000 of
waffle money in our pockets, we flew to
Cairo. The next few weeks, we traveled
across the Middle East, saw world
wonders, and met some incredible
characters. As our budget was running
out, we hitchhiked 2 12,000 km across
the Saudi desert and made it to Dubai
with just €25 to our name.
In Dubai, we slept in one of the most
luxurious hotels in the world and sold
waffles to fly to
Singapore. In Singapore, we met someone
named Apple Juice, which isn't important
to the story at all, but I felt like I
had to mention that. Next, after selling
cookies, we flew to Australia and
officially crossed the halfway mark of
continents on this trip within just 1
and 1/2 months. We spent a month living
our best life in Australia, but realized
too late that the Antarctic season would
end quite soon. In an attempt to make it
to Antarctica in time, we had my sister
book us two flights to Los Angeles,
where we crashed at the house of our
favorite YouTubers, Yes Theory. Within 9
days, we raised
$4.3,000 to settle our debt and to fly
all the way to Ushua, the starting point
of 80% of all voyages to Antarctica.
After 3 months of traveling, we had
completed six
continents. And in the last episode, we
spent 2 weeks in Ushawa trying
absolutely anything and everything to
get on a ship to Antarctica for free.
But unfortunately, we quickly realized
that this was a ridiculous and
unrealistic pursuit. Neither the cruises
or the private sailing boats were able
to take two travelers on board for free.
It just wasn't a possibility for a
voyage which would usually cost you
€10,000 at
least. And that wasn't our only problem.
After 3 and 1/2 months of traveling, we
were getting tired and desperate. And
most crucially, our small leftover
budget from America was running out. And
with that, our time to make something
happen.
[Music]
Chapter 14, Full
Circle. During our two weeks in Ushua,
as we slowly saw our budget, energy
levels, and hopes decrease, a completely
different idea started to grow on us.
Another option we have, and this is a
ridiculous idea, but it's flying all the
way to Zurich in Switzerland and somehow
raising
€10,000 as quickly as we can. That's
just stupid. Okay, hear me out. Because
we don't even have the money to fly to
Zurich. Yeah, we just borrow it for my
sister again. Exactly. So, why don't we
borrow the money for the tour, then fly
back to Switzerland before going home
and Yeah, we could do that. But the
general idea is that we raise the money
in Switzerland either before or after.
Pay it back by selling cookies. Guys,
you're cool. Fear safe and healthy. No
way. Let's go.
[Music]
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you
so much. Have a good evening.
They kindly offered us 200 Swiss Franks.
We made like €780.
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Not my favorite option. No. But hey, if
it comes down to it, hey, if that's our
only option, we may have to do it. We
may have to do it. We had to face
reality. The chance that we would still
find an opportunity to go to Antarctica
for free within the few days that our
budget still allowed was 1 in a million.
And so we started exploring this new
idea which would basically mean that
someone would book us a trip to
Antarctica and then after Antarctica
flying back to Switzerland to sell
waffles to pay off our debt to that
person and then returning home. Mind
you, a trip to Antarctica on a cruise
would be absolutely insane and easily
the craziest experience of our lives.
Not only would we be on an incredibly
luxurious all-inclusive cruise ship, but
it would also allow us to see wildlife
up close, walk around the Antarctic
lands, and cross off a ridiculous amount
of bucket list items. And at this point,
it was either this new idea of selling
waffles in Switzerland to pay for it, or
don't make it to Antarctica at all.
We've gone to two companies and it looks
like the cheapest deal is $4,300
per person, which would mean we would
have to probably earn like $10,000 in
Switzerland by selling cookies. That's
so much better. I don't even want to
think about how the [ __ ] we're going to
do that. $10,000.
Last time we did $2,500 in 5 days, but
it was summer. We had a good story. We
were motivated. We had energy. Uh, and
now we don't have all of those things.
We'll be there like, "Hey, uh, we're
selling cookies because we're at $10,000
in depth."
Yeah, we're going to be there probably
like a month. I don't even want to think
about it.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have
some big news. After a lot of
consideration, we have decided to
execute Plan Switzerland. Guys, I'm 6 ft
tall.
We have like 7 ft of money. The thing
is, guys, it's nearly impossible to
actually set foot in Antarctica for
free. Now, we could take the risk of
staying here until the season ends, but
I genuinely think that the chance would
have been less than 1%. Probably much
less than that. And so, that's not a
risk we're willing to take, especially
considering the fact that we're both
pretty tired from this whole journey,
considering the fact we both really miss
our families and friends. And also, our
money has run out. Our money has run
out. We cannot spend much more time here
in Ushua. One of the rules we set for
ourself is that at the end of the trip,
our balance has to be net zero. And
we're staying true to that. So, all
right, we're getting someone to forward
us the money for the trip. Uh, we don't
want to say who it is because we don't
want the whole internet to know that
that person has that much money. Um, so
we're in the process of paying it now.
This is a very irresponsible risk we're
taking. This the dumbest thing I've ever
done in my life.
I've never made such a big expense, let
alone with money I don't even have. The
money you're going to make back by
selling cookies in Switzerland. Oh my
[ __ ] god. I'm sending the payment
link to that person.
And now we wait. We should have just
given up. Like, nah, you you can travel
to every continent except from
Antarctica instead of actually going to
Antarctica and paying it back instead of
cookies. It's so dumb. It's so dumb.
the payment of unfortunately I can't
share the exact amount for different
reasons but let's say our total debt of
the Antarctic trip may or may not have
been around
€10,000 just so you have an idea that
meant we now may or may not have had a 5
figure debt we'd have to pay back by
selling cookies dollar has been
completed
well there's no going back now that's
[Music]
dollar that we need to pay back.
Let's go, man. We're going to [ __ ]
Antarctica. At least we have unlimited
beverages.
[ __ ] off.
[Music]
Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to
embark on the most epic expedition
potentially of our entire lives. I can't
hold in my excitement. No, me neither.
Oh, man. Continent number seven. First,
we have to get on a smaller ship. There
it is, bro. All right, we're arriving at
the boat. Here we go, bro. I feel like I
don't belong here. That Dubai feeling
again. Yeah, it's already too fancy for
us. Oh my god, this reminds me of
Titanic.
Don't say that.
Oh, you look
[Applause]
Yeah. Champagne. Gracias.
This is going to be insane. We thought
we had the most luxurious experience in
Dubai, but I think this is going to top
it for sure. Salute. Cheers, bro. Okay,
it's time to go to our room.
We couldn't believe our eyes. Inside our
room was my future self telling you
about NordVPN, the sponsor of today's
video. NordVPN is a VPN, a virtual

scored a game-winning goal against
Mexico in the World Cup of 2022, for
example, while I was in Finland thanks
to NordVPN. And as a huge football fan,
I'm still so grateful that I got to see
that historic match live. NordVPN is
such a useful tool for me as someone who
travels a lot. And right now, you can
get it, too. With an exclusive four free

And thank you so much to NordVPN for
sponsoring this video and allowing me to
make videos after this series is done,
which it isn't yet. Back to our actual
room on the ship.
Oh my
god. Oh,
no way.
[Music]
Well, cheers. Cheers, buddy. No. Oh my
god, bro. Where did we end up?
Oh my [ __ ] god. For the next 10 days,
we're going to live like [ __ ] gigs.
These are going to be the 10 best
[ __ ] days of our life, brother. Look
at
this.
[ __ ] [ __ ]
I've never felt more like an impostor. I
have that Dubai feeling again, but this
time it's times 10. Like we do not
belong here. It feels like we've somehow
become part of the absolute elite of
this world. Like we're going to go to
[ __ ] Antarctica on the most luxurious
expedition of our lives and then after
that we have to sell cookies in the rain
for a month.
It's time to head to Switzerland to make
a lot of money. First, we're flying to
Buenosiris and then Kali is once again
helping us out with cheap flights. So,
we're flying through New York and then
we're going back to Europe thanks to
Cali who we met in episode 11. The
flights were very cheap and those two
were added to our total debt which still
may have been somewhere around €10,000.
Bamos. It's 28° and sunny every single
day here in Buenosidis. Tell me
something. And we're going to minus 4
New York.
New York. New York. We're brushing our
teeth here in Central
[Applause]
[Music]
Park. Landed in Frankfurt.
Couldn't be more excited to overnight
flights really do kill you.
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
We're back in Switzerland. I don't know
how much money we can make. It's much
colder. There's less daylight. Our story
is not as good as it was last time. But
this time we do have Twint, which is a
online way of paying here. So
altogether, I think we can make about
the same as last time. It's day one.
Let's see how much money we can make.
Let's do it.
[ __ ] Here we go again.
Before dreamers realize, the soul of the
world tests everything that was learned
along the way. Hello. Can I ask you guys
something? Me and my friend are
currently traveling to every continent
on Earth without any money. We made it
to all continents, but for Antarctica,
the last one, we had to pay. So right
now we're selling cookies to pay off our
debt. My question to you is, would you
like to help support our journey by
buying a cookie? It does this so that we
can, in addition to realizing our
dreams, master the lessons that we've
learned as we move towards the dream.
That's the point at which most people
give up.
Amazing. Amazing. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. No cooking. No. Okay.
We have a appointment to the doctor.
It's better. No cooking.
First sale. Let's go. All right. Now
this a thousand times and then we're
there.
Bamos. Bamos.
Oh, amazing. Thank you.
We already have 42 in like 10 minutes,
maybe. Bro, it's still the same
Switzerland, man. It's still Let's get
it. Yes. That was the worst. That was
the worst high five.
Never mind.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to
announce that Switzerland hasn't changed
a single bit. We are already on 600
Franks. 600 Franks. That's insane.
Honestly, Twins helps so much. Oneird of
all the payments are through twins.
Yeah. It's our first twin sale. Yeah.
So, this time we managed to get a twint
account from the guy we're staying with.
So, whenever people don't have cash, we
can take online payments, which is huge.
We don't have any cash, right?
But I have no cash on cash for using our
journey. I don't have cash. Yeah, you
don't have cash. You need you need to
create a Twitter. Most people don't
carry cash here. So, huge advantage.
the as we're getting closer to
Antarctica, for the first time, we're
starting to see
icebergs, starting to see more and more
signs that we're nearing Antarctica.
Amazing.
Thank you so much. All right, quick
evening update. We're on
785 Franks. She get it, boys. Scammers.
Sure. Thank you. That's all I have.
Thank you so much. 976
[Music]
Franks. [ __ ] Shoot.
Yeah. Thank you so much. Yeah. Thank
you. Have a good night.
Oh, bro. We made a€,000 today in the
first day. This is very promising, guys.
Let's freaking get it. If it stays like
this, we're home in one and a half
weeks.
So far, amazing. Fantastic. Thank you.
12 already. Things are good out here in
Switzerland. Just a quick note for those
wondering how on earth we're doing this.
We're just going up to people all day,
every freaking second of the day. We're
only taking quick breaks to get some
free food. But I freaking promise if you
go to Switzerland and try the same
thing, you will have similar results.
There's nothing else I can do to to
prove that this is real. But I swear on
everything that it's real. It's real. No
problem. No problem. We couldn't crash
in Ben's office this time around. So for
the first two nights, we stayed with
Jonathan, someone we befriended last
time. It's that time again. We have a
shitload of Franks right here. All
right. Pim knows the total amount we
just counted.
Tell me how much we made today.
€1,220 approximately. Holy [ __ ] dude.
Welcome back in Switzerland.
So, the reason we're making much more
this time is because we have Twint,
which is an online payment method. We're
also spending more hours selling
cookies. Today, we spend 12 hours
non-stop selling
cookies. Let's go. [ __ ] get it, man.
Welcome back to Switzerland, guys.
Fantastic first day. We're about a tenth
of the way there. Fantastic. Back to
Antarctica.
Let's get it, man. Let's go, man.
Ladies and gents, the first two days we
both felt pretty sick. I already threw
up twice. Uh, but today we're both
feeling better, so we're going to go and
explore the ship. Look at this one.
[Music]
Is there a jacuzzi? Oh, yeah. Let's do
it. Let's do it. Hey, the bartender
shows up here. Oh, that's great news.
There he is. Can I get a mama lemonade
for me? A hot chocolate with Bailey's,
please. Thank you very much.
Cheers, buddy. Cheers.
So, now we're selling cookies to pay off
our debt. Thank you. No.
Yeah. Hey guys, can I ask you something?
Can we ask you something?
to their site.
[Music]
So, every day lunch looks something like
this, which is insane. After just having
backpack for 3 and 1/2 months, every
single day we had no clue what we were
going to eat. It was always just
leftovers. And then you come to a place
and every single day you have three
meals that look like this.
Day two. We are already on 234 Franks,
but we're getting hungry. So, we saw
that there's like a very fancy business
event here and people eating. So, we're
just going to go inside, see if we can
get some
food. Are we just going to steal
croissant and walk away? Yeah, let's do
it. Or just take the croissant. Cheers.
Cheers. No. Okay, [ __ ] it.
We just have a croissant and walk away.
Cheers, guys. experience. And that's how
you get free food. That's how we're
eating these days. Yeah. Thank you.
Round one. Round two. Round three.
[Music]
That is insane. Cheers, guys. I'm going
to try the difference between some
cookies and dry bread and lobster and
caviar. We've had worse.
Tomorrow will be like around here.
Probably. Yeah. Probably tomorrow
morning we will wake up and see the
beautiful Antarctica. With that being
said, let's first sell some more
waffles. My best would like to help us
out by buying cooking. Actually, no
money
on sadly. You have tweets. I have
tweets.
This is our friend's Swiss uh account.
You're prepared. Yes, we are. Good luck.
Thank you. Thank you, man. Have a good
day. Oh, that's amazing. Thank you so
much. So, what is your name? Susan. I'm
Ruben. So, now we lend the money of
someone and we're paying it back by
selling cookies.
My question to you is, would you like
what's it called in Spanish? Unetta.
Ketta.
Una. Gracias. Yeah, I only have this
dragon. I cracked the egg in your
basket. I'm don't ask for your favorite
rapper. I
know. Amen. Amen. It's insane how much
money we're making here. It's insane. I
cannot stress that enough. Good morning.
Morning. You know where we are. Is it
Antarctica? We haven't looked outside
yet, but we're very sure that if we do
open our window, we're going to see
something very cool.
All right. Three, two,
one. Holy
[Music]
[ __ ] Oh my god.
That's that's the most beautiful view
I've
[Music]
ever so
still leaves you speechless.
[Music]
[ __ ] yeah, bro.
Welcome to Antarctica.
Now, now we're really close.
Can't believe we're here, man. Seventh
freaking continent.
Now that is a flex.
Yeah, right. That is a [ __ ] flex.
Look at that. Cheers to
Antarctica. I've never had a coffee with
a better view. It's not even close. It's
been a bit over 3 and 1/2
months of
grinding highs and lows and uh we
finally made it to the seventh
continent.
the hardest one to reach, the most
unique one, the one the least people by
far get to
visit. There's such peace here, man.
Such
[Music]
peace. The only thing missing are
penguins and
whales. All right, here we go.
I'm I'm kind of speechless. Like feels
like we're in in a geographic uh
documentary. Setting foot on a continent
was reserved for another day. And on
this first day, the plan was to sail by
the shore on this little Zodiac
[Music]
boat. This place genuinely didn't feel
like it was
real. On that boat ride, I was
constantly pinching myself to make sure
I wasn't dreaming.
It felt like we had entered a different
world. It really feels like a different
world. Like I've never been in a place
that feels like this.
It feels unreal to see the Yeah, right.
It's too early in the morning. It feels
like I'm still dreaming overall today.
Wake
[Music]
up. Heat. Heat.
[Music]
seeing this
one, bro. Yeah.
Thank you. How is it?
It's like an Antarctic snack.
and put it in your drink. Can I have a
bite? Of course you can.
Yeah. But yeah, this is all good. Go to
bed, right? Pretty good. Save some for
me.
[Laughter]
Does this countless touching? No.
Then I don't want it anymore. Look at
that.
Wow.
They're coming right for us.
[Music]
Oh my god,
[Music]
they're so close. They're under the boat
right now.
Holy [ __ ]
[Music]
So cute.
[Music]
That was amazing. You got it. Holy [ __ ]
What an introduction to Antarctica.
Let's go, bro. Let's go, man. That was
so cool. It was so cool when the wheel
went right underneath the boat. Holy
[ __ ] [ __ ] awesome.
Okay.
Thank you. Okay, Duncan. Cheers.
My German is horrible.
After 2 days in Switzerland, we settled
into a routine. First, wake up at the
place of whoever was hosting us. Then,
buy the cheapest pieces of bread at a
supermarket with our small coins. Oh,
yeah. Scout out the entire city for a
co-op that still had waffles to sell.
So, luckily, they sell stroop waffles
here in Switzerland, which is amazing.
18 packs. Okay, let's ask if they have
more. Yeah, let's go.
We cannot exchange our small coins. So,
we're paying for the shrew waffles with
all of our small
coins. Then spend the hours of daylight
at CBD, the central business district,
full of rich folk who didn't hesitate a
second to pull out 10 or 20 francs.
money. Stay on my craft and stick around
for those pounds. But I do that to pass
the tortion. But I'm from my town. Trust
me on my N E P N D E N [ __ ] Hustling
chasing dreams since I was 14 with the
for busting halfway.
[Music]
During the day, we would keep count of
our approximate amount, counting both
euros and franks as one. And it's going
pretty well. We're at 270 Franks.
A bit of a weird question. We're
wondering if you would like to buy a
delicious cookie. Yeah, sure. Sure. Um,
are you sure? Yes.
Thank you so much.
Wow. No way.
Amazing, bro. Thank you so much. What's
your name, by the way? Chris. Chris.
Thank you so much, bro. Appreciate it.
They can wish you nice trip. Be safe and
have fun. Thank you, bro. Thank you so
much. Have a good day. See you. Let's
[ __ ] go. Yes. Yes. If you ever need
money, guys, just go to Switzerland. If
you didn't know by now, now you know.
What an amazing guy, man. Let's keep it
pushing. Still got a lot more sales to
make. You're looking for money.
Honestly,
honestly, we are broke as [ __ ] But
thank you, bro. Thank you so much. Thank
you, man. Made it without money. Yes.
Yes. How? by hitchhiking, asking for
leftovers, and sending cookies for
flights.
[Music]
No, it's that's life, bro. No, guys, do
that. That's the journey for life. Nice
to meet you, bro. Nice to meet you. It
was nice to meet you. Yeah, you have
good energy, guys.
380 Franks and we're going to go to our
mystery meeting.
Yeah, we're ready. We met this guy on
the street and it turned out that he
wanted to pay us in exchange for
performing a CPR procedure for his
startup. Is our heart's been on Broadway
and we did it
all my skin and put my bones into
everything I
Thank you, man. We made 88 friends by
saving someone's life. I think 100.
Yeah,
I fantastic. Thank you so much, man.
Appreciate it. Really cool. Right, we're
about halfway. We're at 480, I believe.
Yeah. So, let's try to get up to 1,000.
Once again, our daily goal is 1,000,
which is [ __ ] insane. Hello. Can I
ask you something? Big question. Thank
you. Thank you guys. It's another 20.
So, we're on 505 now. 505, baby. Then
when it turns dark and as the business
district dies out, we'd move to the main
street in the center where most bars and
restaurants were, aka the evening crowd.
[Applause]
[Music]
Hello. We came here to live like nobody
was watching. I got my city right behind
me.
And then we keep marching. We just met
Hamel and he kindly gave us €50.
Thank you so much, brother. Keep going
on your journey, guys. Thank you. Well
done,
bro. At some point, we'd pause our hunt
for money and we'd look for food. We had
befriended staff of different
restaurants on the main street, and
sometimes they would give us leftovers,
then continue the grind.
Day three. We are being hosted by two
very kind Italians, Julio and Lorenzo.
Yeah. And we found these guys through
couch surfing. I would say we're still
about at 3/10 of the way there of the
total amount we need to make. So, seven
more days, guys. Seven or eight more
days. We'll be finished. We're getting
there. That's pretty much it. That's
pretty much it. Yeah. What What can you
say? We're We're just selling cookies,
guys. That's literally it.
Cheers.
[Music]
Ladies and gentlemen, it is finally time
to set foot on Antarctica. You excited,
boy?
You know I am.
There it is, ladies and gents. Come
[Music]
on, bro. Here we go. Here we go again.
It's time, my guy. So, this will
actually be the expedition we set foot
on Antarctica. On the continent itself,
not on the island, on the continent
itself. Let's go. The last four months
has been building up to this one.
Let's go.
Ready. Lights go out and I can't be
saved. tids that I tried to swim
against. Poke me down on my knees. Yeah,
buddy. Oh, I beg I beg and please sing
and comb out of things on the sand.
Shoot an apple off my head
[Music]
and here we go, bro. Hello. This is
Antarctica. So, it's a real Antarctica
continent. Finally. This is going to be
the moment. This is going to be the
moment. 4 months in waiting led up to
this moment.
[Music]
We did it.
Yeah,
buddy. We're actually standing on the
seventh floor. Let's go, bro.
Everyone feels so weird. It doesn't feel
like we're actually on Antarctica, but
we are. We are on the seventh
conference,
bro. We are one of the 1 million people
or less than 1 million people that have
ever said, man, in less than 4 months.
In less than 4 months, no money. We made
it. I'm going to kiss it. I'm going to
kiss the concert. I'm going to drink the
water. I going to drinking from the
ocean of Antarct
Antarctica. It's very salt like
urination.
Yeah, let's drink it. Oh, that's really
nice.
That's the best water I've drank in a
long while. Maybe you should not drink
that. Not drink that. We have made a lot
of test of the ice and the snow and it's
full of always positive of choline.
Yeah. For their stomach. So for tea.
Oh, well, have a nice evening. But this
is just the start. I think uh after this
we'll do longer landings. But this might
be the only landing where we're actually
on the Antarctic mainland. Is it? Yeah.
Oh, wow. For the rest of the trip, we'll
only be on islands. So, it's a special
moment right here.
[Applause]
We're almost there.
[Music]
Yeah. That was a very quick landing. We
only had like six minutes there. Yeah.
It's a shame that we didn't have the
chance to take it all in, but looking
back, it's still very cool that we
actually got to set foot on Antarctica.
It's an achievement, man. We worked hard
for this [ __ ] Only at 22. Yep. At 22,
we've set foot on every continent on
Earth. It's crazy. The moon's next.
It's almost like it's September again.
Look at this. I
mean, let's not waste any more
time. Sure. Yeah.
Thank you so much. Thank you so
much. Thank you so much.
[Music]
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much. So, we back selling
cookies to go to Edarn again. Well,
unfortunately, I don't have my pork
monet with me. This time we have twins.
Yeah. No way. Yeah, we do. So, give me a
cookie. Yeah. Thank you. So, we met this
guy last time and we sold him a cookie 4
months ago and now we're back. What's
your name, bro? Money. Mun. I will say
the same like last time. Five pranks.
Amazing. Thank you. Yeah. I also seen um
a video in Saudi Arabia. Someone invited
you to to have some True. Yeah. This
meant a lot to me. Four months ago, I
set out on this crazy journey with just
5,000 subscribers and this dream of
telling travel stories to a large
audience. And here we were, four months
later, and this complete stranger along
with 4 million others had seen my small
video in Saudi Arabia. Another full
circle moment. And that was way before
the long- form series you're watching
right now took off. And so now that
we're here celebrating this last chapter
of the series, I want to take a moment
to remind you that the new Take the Leap
drop is now live.
[Music]
As you know, it's our biggest dream to
keep sharing these adventure stories
with you full time. And the best way to
support future travel stories on this
channel is to buy a shirt or a hoodie.
So, for anyone who wants to support the
mission and for anyone who feels
inspired to take the leap in their own
lives, I'll leave a link to the shirts
and hoodies in the description. And
thank you guys so much for your support
on this series.
All right. Thank you so much, man. Take
care. Bye-bye. Enjoy your trip. Thank
you guys. Thank you. Hello. Can I ask
you something?
All
right. Amazing, man. Would you like to
sponsor our journey by buying a cookie?
Sure. How much is a cookie? You can pay
whatever you want. All right. Give me
two cookies. I'll pay you whatever's in
my wallet. All right. issue is uh we
have twins. All right.
Exactly. Thank you. That's amazing that
you made it to so many continents so far
and stuff. Yeah. Damn.
Only four months. Damn.
Cheers, guys. Have a good night.
stay here tonight, baby.
Part of me wishes that we would have
hitchhiked the ship for free. But then
again, part of me realizes that there's
beauty in this solution, too. Ending the
challenge full circle in a place where
it all started 4 months ago by doing the
very thing we've been doing all along
during this trip, selling waffles. And I
like to think that this is how it was
supposed to be. It also kind of feels
like we started here and it's like two
weeks ago that we started this journey.
It's kind of poetic that we're ending it
here, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. On top of
that, had we not taken that initial leap
4 months ago, we wouldn't even have
known that going to Switzerland and
doing it this way was an option. This
confirmed the faith we had at the
beginning of the trip in testing your
luck and starting before you know how.
Along the way, the answer will reveal
itself. But first, you have to lose
sight of the shore.
[Music]
All right, we have landed. Our second
landing. We're on Antarctica again.
Yeah. Every day we do landings on
different Antarctic islands which
offered the opportunity to see the
wildlife up close and to smell it. Damn,
it smells here, bro. This penguin stink.
Penguin [ __ ] You smell
the top of that mountain is our goal for
today. Oh, wow. There's a penguin on the
path.
walks a bit like you. I don't walk like
that.
Oh, no. You're right. You don't.
[Music]
The only people living in Antarctica are
around 5,000 scientists and support
staff during the Antarctic summer. And
in the winter that decreases to only
around a thousand people. More than 30
countries operate yearround scientific
research stations in Antarctica. And all
those countries signed the Antarctic
Treaty which states that Antarctica will
only be used for peaceful purposes and
scientific research and not for military
or territorial
conquest. With scientists from our
expedition there to answer any questions
we might have. Landings offer the
opportunity to learn more about the
environment and the opportunity to start
the first ever war in
Antarctica. Ah, are we really going to
have a snowball fight on Antarctica?
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the
most epic snowball fight of our lives.
Sure, you've had epic snowball fights in
your life, I hear you say. But ow. Have
you ever done a snowball fight on
Antarctica? I don't think you have.
Oh, the snow here is
great, bro. That's a chunk of
ice. Go here. You wanker.
Go
on. You touch the face.
It's been a good fight. Truce. Truce.
We're on Antarctica after all. This is
the land of
peace. Pim has a little mission of
himself. Pim wants to be the first
person to do a backflip on every
continent on Earth. We did some research
and we didn't discover anyone who has
previously done that. So, he's about to
do the back flip in Antarctica. But
first, let me show you the six other
places where he did a back flip.
[Music]
Okay.
Again. Again. Again.
[Music]
[ __ ] yeah.
I just
I'm the first person to ever do a
backflip on every continent. How crazy
is that?
[Music]
In the winter, the waters around
Antarctica freeze and the size of
Antarctica doubles, which is why we
could only go in the Antarctic summer.
It was around 0° C every day. This is
summer for them.
That's crazy.
summer.
Now, let's hike to the top of this
mountain.
Pim and I met just 2 and 1/2 years ago.
Just a couple weeks after meeting, we
spent a week in Iceland without money.
And that trip was basically a mini
version of this one. It had all the
ingredients a no money trip has. a crazy
amount of experiences and lessons,
countless kind strangers, waffles, and
at the end, the inevitable realization
that traveling without money made us
feel happier than
ever. As we explored Antarctica, I
couldn't help but think about how far we
had come together,
[Music]
about the similarities of both
trips, and how this chapter of our lives
was slowly coming to a beautiful full
circle ending in so many different ways.
Cuz
everything will start again a new cuz
everything just goes there with my
friend and every
king who knows it to be true that every
kingdom must one day come to Hey ne
[Music]
hey at At the end of day five in Zurich,
we ran into a problem. Ain't no way
we're out already. We're out.
Seriously.
[ __ ] We're out of cookies. [ __ ] So, we
bought all the waffles in every store
where they're available. Yep. Within 5
days, we had bought and resold every
single waffle in Zurich.
All right. What do we do after? We just
buy some chocolate chip cookies. Buy
some chocolate chip. It's our only
option.
Oh, that's empty.
And now it's on full
display. Amazing. Thank you, bro.
Oh, awesome, bro. Thank you. There you
go. Enjoy.
Amazing. Awesome, bro. Thank you.
Thanks, guys. Have a good evening. See
you. So, right now we're €10,000 in debt
and we're selling cookies to pay off our
debt. You'll be surprised I heard about
you. You're staying one of my friends
house. Julio.
Oh, awesome.
We love Julio. You guys have twins or
Yeah, we do. Perfect. Welcome.
Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. See you. We
know everyone in Zurich, but everyone in
Zurich knows us. End of day five. We
have some amazing news. We are
officially halfway, which is amazing.
Shout out to all of the people living
here in Zurich. Thank you so much. You
guys are the [ __ ] best. Without you
guys, we would have been suffering.
We're acting like we're doing this. No,
you guys. All of you that helped us out,
you did this. Yes. So, we have some nice
food. We got some chips and a banana.
We're not eating a lot these days, but
uh it's something. Pim later told me
that he lost 7 kilos on this trip. After
4 and 1/2 months of non-stop travel, we
were at our end. We were hungry, tired,
and empty. But we couldn't relax.
Rather, these days in Switzerland were
the most intense of the entire trip.
[Music]
We have some interesting news. Pim broke
his foot and he's been walking on a
broken foot or whatever it is for the
past 6 days. And so we finally came to
the realization that we can get crutches
for him. So he paid seven franks from
our budget for the crutches. So we hope
it'll win us some brownie points. People
will be a little bit more sympathetic to
the cause. Despite the struggle though,
we were getting ever closer to our
target. Why are you hurt? Uh I probably
broke my foot. No way. Yes. Thank you
very much. Serian money. But you have
twins. Yes, we do. Are you actually?
Yeah, we have a friend. Oh, fair. End of
day six. We're pretty much at 60% of
what we needed to. This is all the bills
we made. [ __ ] look at this. Holy
[ __ ] I've never held so much money in
my life. Look at this. That's a nice
gift. Yeah, no worries for
me. We appreciate you,
bro. Thanks. I'm going to use this as my
pillow.
Good night, guys.
My favorite thing about Antarctica is
how pure it is. It feels like the last
truly wild place on the
planet. There's really no place like it.
It's so silent, so peaceful. There's no
pollution in any way. The air is
perfectly clean. No loud noises, no
plastic. At the same time, it's so grand
and overwhelming that it instantly
humbles you and forces you to be still
and to just observe.
[Music]
[Music]
Meet me
there. Bundles of flowers away through
the hours of cold.
[Music]
Winter shall howl at the walls, tearing
down doors of
time.
Shelter as we go.
[Music]
[Music]
I can literally see a humpback whale
from the
window of my freaking room. I can't talk
too loudly cuz Pim is sleeping. You see
my humb? Yeah. Yeah, dude. Look. Look.
Why didn't you just say it? Cuz you were
sleeping, bro. It's a [ __ ] whale.
Look at
that from our room. How crazy is that?
There it is. Oh
[ __ ] That's insane.
All right, ladies and gents. We are
going to swim in the freezing Antarctic
waters. I thought we're going to the
jacuzzi. Two, one, go.
Come on. Yeah.
Wow. Let's go.
Two, one, go.
Woo. Woo. That is cold.
Now we can say we swam in freaking
Antarctica. And there's only one thing
to do after a cold polar punch. Oh yeah.
We need to enjoy every second of this
because for every day that we're living
our best life here, we're going to have
to sell cookies for at least a couple of
days. [ __ ] off. Why do you have to
mention that every single
[Music]
Thank you very
much. Thank you very
much. End of day seven. We made about a
tenth of the budget. Once again, one
step closer to paying off our debt.
I'll be running around.
Some guy handed us 100 bills.
It's not a fake. Okay. Thank you so
much. Thank you, man. Great. Thank you.
That's the guy. The guy. Holy [ __ ] Now,
we met these lovely ladies. They came in
and gave us $200.
You
two guys, that will be it for day eight.
No problem.
[Applause]
What a stupid plan.
What an idiotic stupid plan.
We're going to sell cookies on the ship
where everything is free.
Hey, but at least everyone here is rich.
So, uh maybe we can make the first
dollars back. We also decided to sell
cookies on the boat. This would help us
pay for a few things on our way back to
Switzerland, like a meal in Buenosidis
and the bus from Frankfurt to Zurich,
for example. They're back. Yeah. Here
you go. No way. Yeah. Do you want or do
you want zel? No way. That's amazing.
Thank you so much. Wow. Oh, that's
amazing. If my son was doing what you
would do, I would want somebody to tell
you. So glad we had the opportunity to
meet you guys and totally support you
and can't wait to see what you do with
your futures. Thank you so much. That
that means the world to us. Yeah.
In a world where nowadays it seems like
you can't trust strangers and where we
are being convinced to be scared of
people who don't look like us, we didn't
know what to expect when we took off 4
months ago. We were scared of visiting
some places, especially in the
adventurous style we had in mind. But
country by country, continent by
continent, we were pleasantly surprised
by the kindness of strangers.
It seemed that in every single
continent, people were willing to help
two strangers. No matter what language
they spoke, no matter what country they
lived in, no matter their financial
situation, no matter their religion,
4 months ago, it seemed questionable
that we could even make it more than a
few countries south of the Netherlands
without ending up stranded without help.
Yet here we are seven continents later,
thanks to over a thousand people from
all over the world.
[Music]
The thought that you can travel a full
circle around the world purely supported
by the kindness of strangers to me is a
very hopeful thought.
[Music]
[Applause]
Heat. Heat.
[Music]
[Music]
This series is a celebration of what can
happen if we do decide to talk to
strangers.
[Music]
3 toes and sleep. I come to know the
memories were the best you ever had.
Another landing, another hike.
[Music]
Weird thing about today is that it's 6°.
Sun is out. It's really strange that
it's 6° in Antarctica. I expected to be
freezing my balls off, but instead I'm
taking off my coat and just doing the
hike in my sweater cuz it's so hot.
You'll see us later selling cookies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I buy your cookies.
Amazing, man. We just made the first
sale of a cookie on Antarctica.
You are the only person in the world
that bought a cookie in Antarctica or on
Antarctica.
Yeah. Yeah.
[Music]
Welcome to Antarctica. Thank you. What
brings you here? I took a wrong turn.
[ __ ] Wanted to go to the North Pole,
but no way, dude. That's crazy. And end
up on the other side of the world. Hey,
but at least you're here with me through
that, buddy. Let's explore that.
[Music]
A rom.
The wildlife we spotted mainly consisted
of various birds.
[Music]
Other than that, wheels, penguins of
course, and occasionally seals. Alive or
dead? Oh yeah, that's my favorite part.
Yeah. Oh wow, that's crazy. Good lord.
Poor thing. No way. Oh, look at look at
the spines all exposed. It looks like my
neighbor.
Oh.
Oh, you should get his haircut. It's
fire, dude.
Just flat on the top. Yeah. Not Not even
that. Just get rid of the skin.
See your skull? Yeah.
[Music]
Morning, guys. It's day nine here in
Zurich and uh we just counted all our
money and we're rich as [ __ ] Almost.
This right here is almost two trips to
Antarctica. For legal reasons, I don't
want to tell you how much we made
exactly, but it's a lot. You smart.
We're also, by the way, we're sleeping
in a hostel. We couldn't find a host
anymore. Okay, let's quickly hide this
before someone new checks into our room
and sees all of this. He's like, "Okay,
I know who I'm robbing today." Two more
days, bro. Woo. And now we're going
home, man. Thank you so much, man. Thank
you. Good luck and uh enjoy it. Thank
you. You can pay whatever you like. Oh,
are you sure? Thank you so much, man.
Awesome. I support the movement and
that's what you guys are doing. Thanks
so much, man. It's actually cool. I sent
you €30. Oh, man. Thank you so much.
This is cool as [ __ ] We love this. All
right, I'll take three. Thanks, guys.
Much appreciated. Have a good one.
[Music]
Ladies and gentlemen, we are getting
ready for our last landing of the trip,
our last adventure. I don't want to make
$10,000 after this. I just want to
go. So,
we're almost there. We're almost there.
Hello. Today is day 10. Today is
probably our last day of selling cookies
here in Switzerland, which is amazing.
By insanely fast, only on day 10. Last
day, ladies and gentlemen, of this wild
4 month plus adventure across the world.
Hello. Can I ask you something?
It's [ __ ] crazy that it's almost
over. May this be the last time we do
this. Hopefully.
Come on.
[Music]
Thank you so much. Yeah, we have a
friend who lives here, so we're
borrowing his Twitter account while
we're here. Thank you so much, man.
Awesome, man. Enjoy the cookie. Thank
you. Thank you, man. Thank you. Have a
good one. Thanks, man. Here we see two
sails. Must have been in the midst. Oh,
wow. of battle.
Wow. It's crazy. We are currently on the
last landing. This is the last time we
set foot on this continent potentially
for the rest of our lives. So, taking it
all in for the last
time. And
maybe, just
maybe, I'll come home.
[Music]
All right. Our last footsteps in
Antarctica. This might be the last
freaking time on Antarctic soil. [ __ ]
crazy, man. See you seals. See you
penguins. See you later.
Bye-bye, Antarctica.
Going to miss you. Bye-bye, Antarctica.
I will be back. We'll be back.
I give you five. Awesome. Thank you so
much, man. Thank you, man. Thank you.
Oh, amazing. Thank you so much. Have as
many cookies as you like.
You know, thank you so much, man. Thank
you so much. Appreciate you. Have a good
day, man. We just saw these guys some
cookies. Hopefully, funny cookies, huh?
Yes, of course.
Thank you, bro. Awesome. Amazing. Thank
you so much. Enjoy your delicious
chocolate chip.
We almost earned the entire budget. We
don't know exactly if we are there.
Let's just keep on selling for the rest
of the night so we know we have enough.
Exactly. Exactly. Let's do it. All
right. Hey guys, can I ask? Everyone has
their own dreams and a lot of us don't
even know what most of them are. But
once you take that first leap towards
the things that excite you, you'll find
that the dreams reveal themselves along
the way. Not only that, but taking that
first step towards your dreams will
leave a ripple effect on the entire
world. In 2006, this guy named Aaron
from America decided to start a clothing
company. Him taking that leap was the
reason for a group of friends to start a
show called The Buried Life, where they
chased 100 bucket list items they wanted
to do before they die. This show in turn
inspired a group of friends in 2015 to
start making videos around getting out
of their comfort zone and talking to
strangers, which would later be known as
Yes Theory. And if not for Yes Theory,
the story that you're about to
experience would not exist.
The boy thought about his treasure. He
decided to take a
chance. His heart leapt.
How am I going to get to
Egypt? Every search begins with
beginner's luck.
When a person really desires something,
all the universe conspires to help that
person to realize his dream.
There, illuminated by the light of the
moon and the brightness of the desert,
stood the solemn and majestic pyramids
of
Egypt. To realize one's destiny is a
person's only real obligation.
Once you get into the desert, there's no
going back. And when you can't go back,
you have to worry about only the best
way of moving forward. The rest is up to
Allah, including the danger. Come on.
Let's go. One minute.
He was a devout man and he wanted to
live his life in accordance with Muslim
[Music]
law. He dressed in his Arabian clothing
of white linen bought especially for
this
day. He put his headcloth in place and
secured it with a ring. He said, "The
Quran requires me to feed a hungry
[Music]
person." On your journey to your dream,
be ready to face oasis and
deserts. In both cases, don't stop.
[Music]
Maybe God created the desert so that men
could appreciate the date trees. He
thought, "You're in luck, you two," the
Arab said. If I could, I'd write a huge
encyclopedia just about the words luck
and coincidence. It's with those words
that the universal language is written.
It was no longer a strange city and he
felt that just as he had conquered this
place, he could conquer the world. I
used
to see rise when I gave the world.
People are capable at any time in their
lives of doing what they dream
[Music]
of. And then there were the others who
were only interested in gold. They never
found the secret.
What good is money to you if you're
going to die?
He had not a scent in his pocket, but he
had
faith. There are a lot of different
people here, and each has his own
god. Most see the world as a threatening
place, and because they do, the world
turns out to be indeed a threatening
place.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. The
war we live in will either be better or
worse depending on if we become better
or worse. And that's where the power of
love comes
[Music]
in. Everyone when they're young knows
what their destiny
is. Meanwhile, the boy thought about his
treasure. The closer he got to the
realization of his dream, the more
difficult things became. It seemed as if
what the old king had called beginner's
luck were no longer functioning. Now the
old
[Music]
king in his pursuit of the dream he was
being constantly subjected to tests of
his persistence and courage.
That button right there is what we're
working for every day. So one day he
shall be there
in not until the moon was high did the
alchemist ride into view.
The boy was shaking with fear, but the
alchemist helped.
[Music]
Don't give into your fears, said the
alchemist. This is for you.
[Music]
You are almost at the end of your
journey. I congratulate you for having
pursued your destiny.
Such a full circle moment. Right. What
you still need to know is this. Every
search begins with beginner's luck. And
every search ends with the victors being
severely
tested. The boy left but away from the
alchemist.
When someone makes a decision, he is
really diving into a strong current that
will carry him to places he had never
dreamed of. We'd like to be painters.
We'd like to be poets. We like to be
writers. But as everybody knows, you
can't earn any money that way. Before a
dream is realized, the soul of the world
tests everything that was learned along
the way. I will say to you, you do that
and uh forget them.
It does this so that we can, in addition
to realizing our dreams, master the
lessons we've learned as we've moved
toward that
dream. He had faith with its blade, he
drew a circle in the sand, and then he
placed the snake within it. The boy told
himself that on the way towards
realizing his own destiny, he had
learned all he needed to know and had
experienced everything that he might
have dreamed
of.
[Music]
Here he was at the point of finding his
[Music]
treasure. And he reminded himself that
no project is completed until the
objective has been achieved.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to
make our last sale of the entire
freaking journey. Hello. Can I ask you
something? Quick question. Me and my
friend are traveling to every continent
on Earth without any money and we made
it. We And you want some? Yes. So, we
are now €10,000 on that. And that's why
we came to Switzerland to sell cookies
to pay off our debt.
Sorry, but is that is any of that true?
Yes, you can check our YouTube channel
to fact check it.
You guys are actually the very last
sale. We just made €10,000. No, you
know, that's a joke. Yes. Then you have
10. Perfect. Do we get all the biscuits?
Yes, you do. Open your hands. Okay.
Let's go. We're done selling cookies.
I'm so cynical about this. I understand.
It's a very weird story. It's probably
one of the craziest stories you'll ever
hear, but it's 100% true. This was it,
buddy. That's it, buddy. We did it
and way faster than we expected. That's
it.
4 months. So, uh, tomorrow we take a
train home to the Netherlands. That's
about it. Hello. Can I ask? No, we don't
have cookies anymore. Sorry. It was just
insane. I'm
[Music]
sorry. And after 4 and 1/2 months of
traveling, the journey was finally
complete.
[Music]
And after 4 and 1/2 years of making
videos, the biggest dream had finally
come true as
[Music]
well.
Heat.
Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.
[Applause]
I know St. Peter won't call my name ever
on his word. But that was when I ruled
the world.
[Music]
[Music]
It's True. Life really is generous to
those who pursue their destiny. The boy
thought
[Music]
Does Aaron is Aaron aware of what's
happening right now? Does he have any
idea that this is going down? He doesn't
know that. No, no, no, no. He doesn't.
Byebye.
This is so weird.
We've come a long, long way
together through the hard times in
the I have to cate.
[Music]
And so a 100 bucket list items crossed
off.
Hundreds of new friends around the
world. So many new lessons
learned. A YouTube channel that's
finally growing
fast.
€50,000 saved. All thanks to some
freaking
waffles. 134 days, 60,000 km, 15
countries, seven
continents.
[Music]
of and now only one question
remains. Will you take the
leap? Chapter one, the leap.
[Music]
The boy thought about his treasure.
I've been trying to
become creator for like three or four
years now and it's been much harder.
He decided to take a chance.
I'm hoping
that creator that's a dream
his heart leapt.
Make it sound.

read the trancription of the video a tell me who gave them money for travel to antarctica, cuz i dont get it
