Hope you're all exciting for what's in store for this year!! Let me know what shorter videos you'd like to see later on in the year when I start expanding the video - any documentary ideas welcome as well, cos why not :) Right I've gotta finish packing for tomorrow...

Hi, Karl Watson. Big fan of your channel. Quick question, on my favorite video, The Quest for Everest: Ep 1 - China: Beijing & Tibet, what is the name of the singing bell background music? Here's the timestamp (27:29) Please I must know it is my favorite songs I ever here. Hope for the best of your vids. :)

Exciting year you’ve got ahead of you! My husband and I have been following your journey for a couple years now, and we really appreciate the quality you put into your documentaries. It made us want to travel to places we never really thought about before. I think it’s a great idea about the shorter informative videos with ads/sponsorships. In terms of topics ideas, can I suggest you talk about practical ways to film/edit travel videos? Eg. best gear, choosing a shot, etc. TBH if you put an online class about that, I’d totally subscribe!

The Idea of the shorter videos with more info material around the trip is great 👍. Keep up doing your great work. It's authentic and great fun to watch and I think that's what you are trying to achieve with it. Thank you so much for it.
