5000 watch time hours, another milestone with my channel.


Hit this today, and in case you are wondering this is lifetime watch time hours. I'm still short of those 4000 that are needed from the last 365 days.

My top 5 videos by watch time hours.

Only 2 videos since the last year made it to the top 5. The rest is older videos.

My channel celebrates 17th Birthday today!


It's been 17 years since I created my youtube channel on this day in 2007. I have been thinking for long time to start making videos but never actually decided to do it until last year.

1 Day in Bratislava: Tourist in My Hometown! 🏰 - Debrief.


This was quite a difficult video to edit.. It was shot over 2 days as after the first day I was not happy with the footage I got so decided to do a reshoot and basically repeated my tour again and tried to get better footage or the locations that I missed on my first day.. overall, the footage was not great, especially the part when I talk (the important part). That's why there is so much voiceover in the video and that is also what takes so much time when editing.. as well as try to put the semi-random footage from those 2 days together to some kind of coherent content that would have the beggining and the end.. In the end tho, I must say I'm quite happy how it turned out, just not how long it took me to get there.. especially the music choices in this one turned out quite nicely.

I still have quite a leftover footage and there were some drone shots used from a year ago, so maybe I will do a quick short and try to use some of that footage before moving on to the next video. I really need to work on the way how I shoot the videos as it really can be a difference between an easy edit in a day or 2 and one that can take 2 weeks to "save" it 😅


The video is doing quite good. It jumped to the top spot in the first 20 hours.. which is nice, but I don't think it will stay there for long as those car videos are way more popular.
