  • Hey everyone! It's been a while since I posted since I have been traveling and filming around Europe. Hope you like the style of this video! More to come 🎉

  • My country Canada is a really nice place but there is a loneliness epidemic going on and I am starting to feel it.

  • Making friends is easy, at least for me. All these countries are the same, go out in the weekend and get acquainted with people AFTER they're lit. Most of these lot have the personality of a toad, indians who are super outgoing are not going to mesh with these toads. Learn to READ people!

  • I was raised in Austria and I can wholeheartedly support that guys statement in 7:30. People really don´t accept you if you slightly look different. It´s really weird if you think about that. If you open up some newspaper on a random day you will most probably read something about the "integration of migrants". All they do is demand integration, but embracing people with outside roots or getting out of their bubble to befriend people with another background is something many can´t get themselves to do. It´s really important that people start to put a little effort into that.

    • I spent a year and a half in Vienna and I found Austrians lovely and easy to make friends with. Extremely caring! My co-workers helped me with everything: doctor appointments, shopping, driving me to other places. This was 20 years ago and I still keep in touch with a few of them! They invited me to their homes. Best time of my existence honestly! LOVE Austrians in general!

  • I imagine that like all European countries, (Austrian) natives are overwhelmed with all the immigration. It is a feeling I have been seeing in many European countries. When I lived in Austria I never saw this many foreigners as in this video. And I lived in a college dorm!!!

  • Had the same experience in Switzerland when I moved out of the city area even though I was 100% fluent in German. I also realized that after 12 years there I (and my wife) had only been inside of three Swiss people's houses. We understood their need for stability and "Ordnung" overrode any type of spontaneity, but we also noticed that Swiss and Austrian families stayed very small and tight so perhaps the unfriendliness was very much cultural and not personal. But I seriously wonder if the friendliness aspects are taken into account when the city surveys ranked Vienna, Geneva and Zurich so high up on the list. Thanks for the video.
