## Transcript

I'm going to play parkour for kids.
How many of her friends live in here? I like that I can see how many kids live in here. Yeah, he's got it. It's busy in there. You're watching the master at work.
Hey! So we are at Stamson again. It's an open air museum with all these old Swedish buildings that were preserved in this
area. And then they combined it with animals for kids. I went here as a kid and I thought it was amazing. So it's fun to bring Bjorn back here. Did you say it's pretty, Bjorn? Yeah, it's very pretty.
I love you.
Where are we, then?
We're on the opposite side of something.
I think we need this. It's fake.
That's a fight for Guffingberg. Very proud Guffingberg in Stockholm. Anyway, we're in Sweden still. And in two days, we're going to Switzerland. But yeah, we've been here three weeks, and it's been really, really nice.
I have forgotten completely how cold the summers are. I packed one sweater. I need a sweater almost every day. I need a sweater.
How come they're all zero?
Oh, okay. Okay. Most bell tops, that's Swedish words. 99%. Where's the word, Evelyn?
It's an Evelyn boat. Oh, it's an Evelyn boat. They help each other. Yeah, it looks like Danny, Mama, Danny, Dada.
Yeah. Dad has to see us. Time in Los Alamos.
We are... I'm going to butcher all the names, but I think we're in Morges? Morges? Morges? Morges? We are planning to go to... I'm going to butcher all the names. Yeah, Lausanne? Even here. Beautiful. And peaceful.
It's very hazy today, you can't really see, but there's a lake and mountains and nice temperatures. But I think me and Margie are both, I mean, maybe me, but we've been traveling three weeks and I'm still working.
And we're handing a toddler, traveling. Took me onto the playground and worked out. Did a little bit of work as I can. Margie got the rank. So now we get to explore the city. It's funny, you were riding there.
at night, so you don't know what you're getting in your seven-season, but then you wake up and you're like, wow, this is beautiful.
20. Good job, yeah?
That was perfect. I have been challenged to answer some rapid-fire questions. that I am going to start with now. They're all up here so you can play along. How do you protect yourself from common PC building mistakes?
Did you watch my video? AHHHHH! NOOOOOO! That's from Ben. I dropped it. Clearly, I dropped it. How do you protect yourself from buying too many Steam games? When you have a thousand, you kind of don't need two thousand.
Or you become a dad and you just stop gaming. How do you protect yourself from earthquakes in Japan? I don't, I cry. How do you protect yourself from spoilers? Well, I'm not chronically online anymore as well. Become a guy.
How do you protect yourself from online hackers watching everything you click? Easy. NordVPN. I'm connected right now. Are you?
If you're not using something like NordVPN, then everything you do online is visible to someone else. But not just that, NordVPN blocks fake websites and phishing attempts even before they reach you.
They send your downloads for you. We know how sloppy you are, okay? NordVPN takes care of all of it. You can browse the internet without having to think about it. Otherwise, someone could be watching you right now.
I actually have friends that were compromised with these sort of attacks, and I know how detrimental that is. From losing accounts to whatever was on them and privacy concerns, all of that. Your privacy is valuable and you should take it seriously.
It's one of those things you don't realize unless you lose it. And NordVPN is your best stop for fixing this. I've been using them for years and years and years and years. I highly, highly recommend it. You turn it on, you don't even realize it's on.
It's that quick. So with NordVPN, you get an all-in-one security app. It's been really cool to see how much NordVPN has improved over the years. adding more and more features without ever increasing the price
or sacrificing quality. It's risk-free, so you can try it out for 30 days. Money-back guarantee. And I can hear it behind this curtain. Oh, no! How do I protect myself from a three-year-old bar?
I'm trying to shoot a promo. Oh, no! You're so silly. All right.
Take a NordVPN account and use code P5. Get informed on the topic. Risk-free NordVPN account. I thank you for being an amazing sponsor.
Can you take NordVPN? He must be fishing one time. My brain is so fried with all the languages. I keep going, ah, excuse me.
It's so dumb. That's so cool. So tomorrow is August 1st. It's a national day. National holiday.
So it's going to be a big day. Thank you.
We're in Puli. The train track is closed today, but that's not stopping it.
It's a train. The train is coming tomorrow, but we're still waiting. We are desperately trying to escape the city but it a six holiday When I close down all the roads there no real direction so we just like guessing
The end is in the canyon. We're so far away from the river now. It took us forever to get here because of all the road tolls and the healthy language.
We are now at the German side of Kitziland.
It's funny to me because coming from French side to German side is very different people. The French are still French and the Germans are German, but it's lovely regardless. And this nature reserve area, yeah, this is very peaceful and pretty.
I think it's a good choice. Me and Maestro were like, have we stayed in Japan too long? Because we keep... there's so many behaviors that you've kind of closed your eyes towards your entire life.
Like we Europeans do. That is not the most pleasant. Even in Sweden I find myself telling people off. I'm like, why are you doing that? That would make weird sounds. Why are you cutting in line? It's just like people don't do these things in Japan.
Not to compare, every place I've been to in college, but you know what I mean. I wanna go say hello, monk. There, she's waving on the bus. Wow, doing it on your own?
I'm trying to fake it for the video. Doesn't work at all. So, here's mama, here's dada, on the playground. What's that?
Aren't you so silly? Why does she walk like that? Ah!
What did you get? Okay. Next destination, I am traveled out. I'm still sick of luggage. I spent four weeks there.
I got two more. But it's been nice too.
Oh look at this. Hey we're in the sun. It's very very pretty so far. Oh, perfect timing. Wow, I'm enjoying this a lot.
There's no people, too. This is great. I always prefer the German side architecture in Switzerland. It's just my preference, I guess. It looks so medieval, almost.
I love this architecture, it's so nice, this is reminding me of the first time I went to
This is amazing. This is amazing. Three, two, one.
I got the thing that says. Look at this. This one. This one. Ta-da. Thank you so much. Oh.
Is Vinicius in his own bed?
Like a big boy. Good night, Vinicius. Good night. I knew you were faking it.
Where is he coming from? There? From the clock, yeah. You're a little old man, aren't you?
Where's the comic book? Mama! Mama!
The lost little boy. Ganbare Mama! He thinks that mama didn't make it up the hill. But mama went back to the hotel to get ready.
We're at this beach club. It looks really really nice. Danny's having a good time. It's so hot. I'm too Swedish for other countries. This is so nice.
Like how beautiful is that?
Morning, Bjorn. That's a Swedish man. I'm not built for this climate. Everywhere you look, it's so pretty. It's crazy. No matter where you go, even on the ugliest roads, it's free.
Can you go bring that at home? Bring more at home. And then come back up.
This is mom gets four years old. I'm going to be a little bit tired. You can do it, man. We are on our way to get the car and then the airport.
Last taste of Switzerland. Such an awesome country. We had a great time. Now we're moving on to Italy so we can see the Grand Pines. And we're going to stay there for three weeks.
We have a lot of time there too. It's a big trip. And this is the last vlog as well. It's a little sad. Yeah, it's gonna be a big one.
Wow, yes! Hello! Hello! Wow, on your own? I have a figure-two diaper.
You have a figure-two diaper? Wow! A swimming one from your friend. Should we swim tomorrow? Let's swim tomorrow. Any beat going on?
I'm going to go get some tacos. Yeah? You're feeling like getting tacos? Yeah. You want to jump in the water? Yeah. Ah!
Hahaha. It's the Pufferfish. It's weird special. The universe is pitch black and the comet is red and it does have a tail behind it.
and the comet will come to the Earth on the 7th of August at 8.42 at night.
So now we are at the seaside, East End of Italy.
I camp here every year when she was little so she gets to show me around what it was like growing up here. And it's really really pretty. It's very hot right now in Italy so I'm very glad to be right here. It's like a paradise for kids on this island.
I never looked too busy until you looked this way and you like whoa That a lot of people
This is the muddy. Whoa, whoa, there's a crime inside. I love it.
Oh, church hours. We're going to On a Boat today, which will be really nice. We're going to the same place we were in last year, which is kind of like Mini Venice.
The
I will play only my interpretation, and not the particularity of the music that I have played.
That's what we're saying.
Actually, no, we're closing. So we're there. I am melting in this Italian summer. I'm not built for this weather. But it's really, really nice. We've been here five days.
It's nice to see where Marcia sort of had her childhood and it's really really pretty. I'm not meant to be. It's too hot. I'm the whitest person on this beach.
Well done! I found a tiny crab! You found a tiny crab? Yeah! I'm looking at you and I'm amazed
We are back from the beach side.
We're here for a couple more days until we head back to Japan. It's been a long, long trip. I've borrowed things. Yeah, about six weeks. But enjoying the last couple of days.
It's still very, very nice. We're going on a little back ride. He's flexing. One hand. Can you do no hands? Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Thank you.
Thank you.
Today is a very special day because it's being my 15 year anniversary.
We're in Lake Garda, which we've been to many times before.
I always really like it here. I've never been to this city, though. It's very, very pretty. So, we're going to explore tonight with our last energy. Probably have like an hour left, probably.
Wow, you picked a really fancy place. Thank you.
Damn, Mama. Look at that. This place is like the Italy that everyone imagines. We never go to the lake, so I never get to see it.
What's your name? My name is Munchak.
I walk and enter. And there's a big splash of hot water. It's very... I want to eat you. I want to eat you. I want to eat you.
I can't believe how pretty this part of Italy is. It feels like a vacation. I keep saying it feels like Cape Italy. I keep saying it feels like Cape Italy. That's another thing that not really Italy is. It's not really Italy.
It's almost like a caricature of what I just said. It says that pretty is that Sweden flag amazing We're just staying here a couple more hours and then heading back and then we just have a couple more days until we're back
In Japan and that will be the end of the vlog Which is crazy to think about. I also had an amazing anniversary yesterday And I'm just so lucky to have such an amazing wife and mother and my child
I'm so so so so lucky and just feeling very happy. We're climbing this giant wall. That's so fun.
So how is life so far, dear? Are you looking forward to go back to Japan? No.
No? No. No? So we went to Sweden and Switzerland and Italy, and now we're going back to Japan. We're in Italy right now. That's right. We're in Italy right now.
I'm so excited. Today is the day.
Our six-week journey has finally come to an end. I can't believe it. It's hard to explain in a way for so long, at least for me, like I'm just not used to it.
But it's been a very very special trip and today is a beautiful day in Italy. It's a shame to leave us today, honestly.
Quick stop in Frankfort and then we going to Arnold Line
Now we end up at the end.
Are you ready? Hey!
Hey, Momo, I miss you! Hey, Momo! Hey, Momo! You're still alive!
I'll never leave you again. I'll never leave you again. We missed the dog's birthday when we were away, so we're celebrating today.
Happy birthday, Momo and Mochi. Decent thoughts. Bye-bye.
Yeah. Yeah. Woohoo!
I love the feel of it. You are a piece of art. This is so beautiful. So, I'm going to put you down to pre-order, and I'm going to attempt one of your recipes. I'm doing the chiffon cake because it's delicious,
but I know it's like super, super difficult. I think it's kind of cursed. I'm not going to lie. My first sense, if you turn it upside down and it holds, that's how you know.
I don't want to do that. Yeah. That was like a pro. My arm is tired. What does a rib mean?
Why do I do nothing? It smells amazing. It looks good. It looks really good. Maybe I'm a secret professional chef. This is from my cookbook. It's added in the description to pre-order. She works so hard on it and it's a piece of art. Like even if you don't cook it, it looks amazing. And I can attest to it that I can make it, but all of them are delicious. All of them. They do like Swedish recipes and Italian recipes and seasonal.
Yeah, it's amazing. I'm super proud of my cookbook. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. that I can make them, but all of them are delicious.
All of them. They do, like, Swedish recipes and Italian recipes and seasonal. Yeah, it's amazing. I'm super proud of myself. Thank you. All right.
It's dinner time. You guys so strong yeah huh?
So strong. Come on then. Okay can you unmute me for one second.
It's the end of the vlog. I thought this would be appropriate to record outside. Yeah, this is my last thing I'm going to film, which feels really weird.
I actually thought about it. I was like, how am I not going to film? We're probably going to keep filming because, you know, Martha has actually been making, like, a private version of the vlog every single month as well, just for beer, for the more, like, private moments and stuff like that.
These vlogs have been like just home videos anyway, so it kind of makes sense. But yeah, it's been four and a half years, if you can believe it. It's been really fun. I said this before, but we started thinking we'll do one or two videos,
and now we've done like, what, I don't know, a hundred? And the reason why we kept going is literally because of you guys. All the comments, all the support. There's no way we would have done it otherwise.
We really, really enjoyed sharing this journey with you. Moving abroad was such a difficult decision for us because we were leaving friends and we moved further away from family. And just having so many people feeling like they rooted for us, it honestly meant the world to us.
So we are so, so thankful, me and Marzia, for that. And it's just been so fun to share all this with you, all the excitement of coming here and all the discoveries. We love sharing all of it. Obviously then Marcia got pregnant and it was fun to document that experience and Bjorn
being born and seeing him grow up as well, just sharing those precious moments I think has been really, really special. Marcia's worked so hard on these videos. She's edited every single one of them and I think she really made them so special as
well and I'm so thankful to her and I'm so proud of her for everything that she does from being a mom to hardworking and creative. She really really inspires me and I'm so so grateful to have her and I feel like usually there's one or two bad comments
But we literally just got outpouring support with these videos and that's just been so incredible Maybe YouTube's filtering system got better. I don't know The reason we're stopping is because we didn't want to go on forever, but I also felt like with Garen growing up
It's a good time to stop. I love making videos and I'm gonna keep making videos obviously and I love sharing videos and I love the community aspect of the back and forth, but I do not love being famous.
I actually kind of hate it. I hate that I can't go to certain places, and I always kind of have to be mindful of other people, and staring, taking photos, following you around, and I feel like in Japan, I love it so much,
because I can just do whatever here. And I think for Bjorn, I want him to make his own choices. He deserves his own privacy, and I think that's why we did, but like now it's a good time to stop.
Even though he's so wonderful and we love sharing him with you guys, so it's been such a joy seeing him grow up and I'm so proud of him. We'll still share moments here and there, but we just felt like the vlogs are too centric a place for it.
So if you see Darren, don't freak out. We are intentionally sharing bits and pieces. We decided to keep the newsletter. It's a blog that we write every month. It's sort of like a written version of the vlog, so if you want to check that out, we're going to keep that up.
So the link is in the description if you want to support us and do that. We really appreciate it. I keep saying how thankful I am, but I really, really cannot say it enough. I think it means so, so much to have such an amazing audience that I'm genuinely proud of.
Thank you all for all the amazing people and I love to be able to have shared all this journey with you guys. Thank you from all the Shellbirds.
Let's get real for a second. The internet is worse than ever. Everything is free. Free apps, free services. But remember, if it's free, you're the product.
And companies have taken full advantage of this. Your name, your phone number, your address, your relatives, your shopping habits. They trade this and sell this. And you might be like, I don't really care.
Whatever. They make money off your data. And it's not just like a little bit either. You're worth a lot more than you think. An estimate was $250 billion every year. And per person in the U.S. is around $700.
That's crazy. The good news is that you can clear yourself from these companies. You have the legal right to do it. Yes. Problem. It will take you forever and you won't have other problems in your life. I understand.
That's where Incogni comes in. They do all the work for you. You just sign up, give them the authority, and then you sit back and relax and you watch the updates come through. Oh, another one new.
I think it's so cool because it used to be a thing where you were just helpless too and you just had to accept. but now you can actually regain control. Take control of your privacy because otherwise someone else is going to do it for you.
They also have this custom removal for their unlimited and family unlimited plan where basically if you find something about yourself that you won't remove online, you can direct them to do it for you, which is an amazing service. Another thing that I thought was completely impossible before.
