and give the family A little bit of a surprise CU they said they you can see they're not living in the best conditions oh my God happy happy happy so I only meant to like go for a little bit of a walk from the train station and I've ended up here this is like what this is for me exactly what travel is about it's about just getting stuck in and going off with no plan like not going to a temple and paying money and getting scammed not having a tour guide not going to a fstar hotel it's about getting in with the locals who happy oh my God yeah that's insane thank you so much you hooked us up this is such a cool spot yeah all right we're going to go for a little dip in there but this has got to be one of the coolest waterfalls I've seen you can see like the green and the way it falls down and no one here no tourists tourist yeah no but like good private happy happy happy fresh water so cold oh don't know where I'm [Music] standing wow oh my God so basically if I haven't explained properly this is where they live at the moment you can see it's just like temporary and they're trying to build this new house but I think they said they run out of money and he's just a farmer so we're going

bye-bye thank you brother nice to meet you byebye by bye all right yeah so also you guys are probably thinking like har you're just giving money away like nobody's business but it's not my money I obviously have sponsors and I kind of told myself at the start of the year that I'll try and give all the money I earn from sponsors back to people who need it more than me cuz I don't need to take sponsors I take them as an extra Revenue Source but I don't actually need to take them for me like I get just as much happiness from seeing places like this being built up and helping families who need it other than just buying stupid like clothes and material items that I don't need anyway now we got to get on with the journey again now we're on the final leg of the journey I was going to get a bus but I think it's actually a lot quicker and better if I get a private car luckily the family was able to arrange it for me so here he is the Toyota Prius how you doing nice to see you I thought
