Is it really possible for women to travel  and adventure in the same way we do? And well,   even though there are already lots of amazing  female creators proving that to be true,   capturing their perspectives going far and wide,  we wanted to put that to its ultimate test in a   Yes Theory classic. abandoned with zero dollars  for 24 hours in Europe's strictest country,   Germany. To attempt this challenge, we summoned  one of our favorite creators, Anna Kramling,   a chess genius and overall amazing human that  we thought might be crazy enough to say yes to   this. I'm going to stay in a stranger's house.   I'm terrified of this. So, here are the rules   of today's adventure. First, we will have a series  of challenges involving strangers we can complete   to earn some money for food and water. However,  at the end of the day, you will have to rely on   the kindness of a local by staying at a total  stranger's house for the night. Equipped with   a cheat coat, however, our sponsor for today's  adventure, Brooks Running Shoes, we were ready to   tackle the streets of Berlin in the search of some  friendly Germans to host us with one big question.    Is this a terrible idea we're pulling Anna into?   And where might Berlin's wild nightife take us? Here's the thing. Every time we've done anything  related to flipping a coin, you've been unlucky. I so hope that you're going to do it now. Germany  feels like it's going to be awful. I mean,   people consider it the strictest country  in Europe. We flip a coin. One of us is   going to be abandoned. The other one is  going to be game master. I'm ready to sit   back on this one. I really want to see you  on a good challenge. Q tense music. If it   lands on number two, then I do it. If it  lands on the head, then you do it. Damn. No, man. This is going to be an entertaining one. Welcome to a Yesterday classic in a way it's  never been done before. Anna and Thomas,   we are right now in Europe's strictest country. I met someone in Paris the other  day. They were Germans and I said,   "We're going to Germany. We're going to do this.   What do you think about this? " And they answered,   "Oh, that will be hard. " Going to jump off this  bridge right now. Thomas, come back. I'm going.    I'm going. The answers you're looking for within  is hiding from the people you're about to meet.    Bye-bye, Thomas. This is your first time, but you  got this. I'm so scared of it. You're going to   prove people in the comments wrong who say that,  "Oh, if this was a woman doing this, it wouldn't   be possible. " I'm representing the woman. Okay.   It's like sending off kids to school here. So,   bye. No clue how this is going to go. Hello.   How are you? Oh, she did not say hello. Oh,   that's a good start. Okay, we are off right now  and I'm walking alone in the streets of Berlin   with no money, no place to stay, no food. I'm  really hoping I meet some kind strangers today.    This is the first time we have ever had a woman  compete in this challenge. And I think that Anna   is the perfect person for this. She is uh not only  the best chess player I've ever met in my life,   but she's also incredibly charismatic. So, I feel  like she is going to have an easy time making   friends. We can start a timer for the sunset. This  is how much time I have left. And typically, you   don't really want to be looking for a place past  that time. The hack that we have on this episode   is that we're wearing the most comfortable shoes  we've ever had. And there's going to be a lot of   walking going on. We have the new Brooks Glycerin  Flex. And I know this is a sponsored video,   but I have to say these are the most comfortable  walking and running shoes I've ever worn in my   life. I feel like I'm gliding forward while I'm  walking with them. It's kind of strange,   but for an episode like this where we're going to  be walking all day, man, the shoes are important.    The real challenge is maintaining good energy  because if people feel that you're tired,   they are probably much less likely to host  you. Oh, wow. Look at this public bathrooms.    That's quite cool. I'm already seeing like  smiles and stuff. I think people are nice. I just started a challenge, so I'm kind of  terrified, but I'm trying to rely on the   kindness of strangers. Do you guys want to  see it with me? this letter. Okay. Hi. Just   made two new friends. Okay. I'm kind of scared  to open up this letter. Okay. Challenge list.    Oh. Beat a stranger at chess. Chessboard in  your back. Sure. Yeah. I'm about to play chess   with Bigle. He's my first chess opponent. I'm  fearing this. Do you want the beer? Sure. Yeah. Chuck. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. Give ### [5:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qrxj5N_eYE&t=300s) Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00) me your best dance video with that.   They have two challenges completed. Oh my god. Yeah. He's a dancer. Is he? No. I just €10. You can get pretty far for €10. We  can say you should go 1 km in that direction.    km. I think you should  go 1 km in that direction. Okay. Well,   I will go that direction. You guys are the best.   Thank you. Bye-bye. I just made my first friends.    This is so fun. Like, this has got so much better  than I thought it would. I am a little bit afraid   of Germans maybe lack of spontaneity. Nothing  against you Germans. I know many people from   Germany watches us here. But on average, just  like sweets, we're not the most spontaneous,   you know, but I feel like Berlin is the  perfect German city to do this. Okay,   this will do. Stafan has put together a list of  challenges that we can complete to earn money for   our day. Compliment 10 strangers. Oh, that's  easy. €5. Everything involves meeting people.    We'll see how this goes. I'm going to start with  complimenting strangers and then I'm going to look   for someone on a run and see if I can join them.   That feels like that would get me a coffee and   maybe a small sandwich. But I'm feeling good  in my glycerin flex. Let's go. How you doing,   sir? I love your pants. Yeah, they look amazing.   You're looking good today, man. Yeah. Cheers. You   guys look amazing. Very fashionable. I'm inspired.   Six more. How you doing, man? Love your style.    Five people. We're doing good. This is going to  be easy. Hello. You have a very cute dog. Come   on. Let's do this. We got this. Everything  is mind over matter. What's up, man? Oh. I know that my love. Your attention span is  great, man. You got it. That's seven.    I don't know if he accepted the compliment,  but it was a compliment. Love your jacket,   man. You guys have some amazing bikes.   Have a good day. Yeah. Have a good one.    Like the color of your jacket, man. That's 10.   That's cool. Excuse me, guys. How you doing?    Um, I'm doing a challenge today and I'm supposed  to do a public service announcement. I'll just   wish you all a lovely day. Have an amazing  stroll. Send you guys all the best energy.    That's my public announcement. So, you guys  are awesome. I can feel the vibes. Just have   an amazing day. You Yeah. Cheers, guys. Cheers.   Yes. Got it done. Gosh, that feels good. Gosh,   that feels good. I have €10. Easy peasy. I'm going  to waste it on a really expensive espresso. 3:30. I wonder what it says about me that I  ordered a coffee before I bought water. Wow,   look at that. Let's go. Priorities right here.   I wonder what Anna is doing right now. I wonder   if she's completed any challenges already. Are  you guys from Berlin? No. Okay. Are you guys   from Berlin? I don't know what to say. Oh, okay.   Sorry. I know. Also, one of the tips I've gotten   is that I should find a place to stay pretty soon  because it's going to get harder and harder with   time. I need you to also compliment 10 people.   I like your jacket. Very cute dog. I love your   jackets. Hey guys, where are you from? Are you  the Swedish tour that we're doing? Are you here   for a street on graffiti tour? Um, is there a  street and graffiti tour? Uh, it's a private   tour. It's not a public. What are you looking  for? What can I help you with? Well, my friends,   it's one of these things. A crazy challenge.   They've given me no money. Well, they've taken   my wallet and I'm basically in Berlin for 24  hours alone and I'm trying to make friends.    Are you sure you haven't just been creatively  robbed? I think I've been creatively rob I   actually saw the guest theory did something really  similar to this like a few months ago. Yeah. So,   it's very similar to that. Well, the thing  is that we're waiting for a uh a tour to start   where unfortunately it's like a private tour from  Sweden. I am from Sweden. Well, that helps. Maybe   you can talk to them in Swedish and they'll let  you Who's the group Swedish? I'm Swedish. Yeah. Okay, we're I'm joining the tour. Yay. Thank  you. Do you want to say hi? Hello everybody. wisdom. You're supposed to be kind to one  another and um take care of uh the creation.    That's today's wisdom. That's amazing wisdom.   Thank you. This is the best thing ever, honestly. ### [10:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qrxj5N_eYE&t=600s) Segment 3 (10:00 - 15:00) So, welcome to Berlin. Welcome to the tour. We  have also a special guest. What's her name? Sorry.    Anna. We were talking our tour here. All  this trashy area is one of the coolest in Bali. So, who know what sisterhood means? Treating each  other like sisters, being really good friends, and   taking care of each other. Exactly. Loving each  other, German runners,   where are you hiding? Come on. Maybe people are  afraid of racing me. That's the problem. I don't   know how good this neighborhood is. Feels a little  bit rough around the edges. I'm not going to lie.    Based on the smells I'm feeling on the streets  and based on people on street corners asking if   I need any help and not the kind of help that I'm  looking for today, unfortunately. Okay, this park,   I do not know if I should have come here. What you  want, man? Okay, I just wandered into the wrong   neighborhood and had a couple of guys that were  not doing such legal things come up and yell at me   for holding a camera. So, I'm going to go in the  other way. I am starting to get pretty hungry. Oh,   €20 for a meal. Are you kidding me, man? I can't  afford any of this. The world is changing. €6 used   to get you far. Now, it doesn't even get you a  kebab. Okay, here's another place. Let's see.    Is there anything here for €6? Oh, hamburger is  €6. 10. I'm going to do that. Thank you. Really   thought I would have spotted a runner by now, but  have not had any luck on that front, which is Ah,   there's a guy running right there. Boom. Let's  go. For being abandoned in Berlin, this is pretty   great. It is nice to know that complimenting  strangers was what got me this burger. Maybe   this day ain't so bad after all. How are you? Can  I join you for one? Oh, no. Okay. All right. Do   you speak English? Uh, no. Not really. Okay.   Okay. Thank you. How you doing, man? Can I ask   you a question? I'm asking people if to teach me  something they wish more people knew. Mindfulness   and empathy. Oh wow. Or self-compassion. That's  the better phrasing. Did you feel not enough   people do that? Yeah. That's beautiful. What was  your name? Daniel. Thomas. Nice to   meet you. Tonight I have to stay at a stranger's  house. But I tr I trust in the kindness of someone   crazy enough to do it. Yeah. Please make sure  you're safe to safe too doing this. Yeah. Yeah.    or if you think I'm 100% sure no one would do  it. Not because of you obviously as a person,   but in general. Yeah, that's I hear you. Nice to  meet you. Good luck. Okay. Well, he was nice. Did   not get a yes on staying at his house and he  thinks it's going to be extremely difficult,   he said. But I believe that gets me 5. Not too  bad. But damn, if a guy as friendly as him is   not open to hosting a stranger, who is going to  be? I have a feeling this could be a little bit   more nerve-wracking for Anna. I hope that she's  not stressing out too much. I love the dog. We're doing a ticket. Okay. We're going to go in a mini disco. Which song are we doing? Yes. Teenage  survive. Wait, this is so cool.    cuz I'm just a teenage guy, baby. Rate the disco from 1 to 10. Oh, 100. It was  so funny. That was so fun. Feels like there   might be a few people running here. Ah, here's  a guy running. Excuse me, man. Do you mind if   I join you for like 1 kilometer? I'm doing like  a challenge. Ah, you can't film it. I don't like   Okay, thank you. Cheers. Damn it. He didn't  want to be filmed. I'm on 14,000 steps and I   feel nothing in my feet. That's pretty wild.   Usually when I cross the 10,000 step mark,   I feel it right now. Feel nothing. The Glycerin  Flex, I have to say, are the most comfortable   running and walking shoes I've ever worn in my  life. And they have this super interesting thing   about them. They're literally completely foldable.   It's kind of crazy. The range of motion you get   inside your foot is unbelievable. I think that's  what makes it so comfortable right off the bat.    It's been a massive upgrade to our previous times  we've done this because walking all day endlessly   not knowing where you're going is the hardest part  about these challenges. I feel like I can walk all   day right now. Very grateful that Brooks agreed  to sponsor this wild adventure. What's up, man? ### [15:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qrxj5N_eYE&t=900s) Segment 4 (15:00 - 20:00) How you doing? What's up? Pretty good. You got a  cool jacket. Thank you. I have a question for you.    I'm basically in Berlin relying on the kindness of  strangers. Okay. So, I'm looking for a stranger to   host me. Yeah. Which is a wild quest. Wild quest.   The thing is I'm moving until tomorrow. Like I'm   moving houses. Berlin housing markets. Otherwise,  I'll be down. I couch surfed uh before and what   was your name? Leon. Nice to meet you, man.   Good vibes. You have good vibes. Yeah. Cool. Have   a good day. Cheers, man. At least I'm getting  the asks. He's making coffee and I have €5. I   probably shouldn't waste it on another coffee. Let  me check how much it cost. How you doing, man? You   making that drip coffee or? Yes. Wow. Nice. Where  where are you from? Indonesia. The coffee is also   from Indonesia. Amazing. Is this your father? Yes.   Amazing. How are you? How you doing? I'm fine. Is   it okay if I ask your father a question? He seems  so friendly and nice. Hi, I'm Thomas. What   was your name? Uh, Masi. Masi 83. You're 83? Yeah.   Yes. You seem much younger.    Did you ask him? I'm 32 years old. What  What would be his piece of advice for   me at my age? Good question. I never asked  him this before. Yeah, he's here in our good. Thank you, Sh. Nice to meet you, Mi. Yeah, it's an  honor. Lou and your coffee business is Lo. Thank   you, brother. Thank you. See you. I did not expect  to befriend an elderly person and ask them for   wisdom right now, but looks like I just completed  another challenge. So, I have €9. I should   probably save money, though. Probably not buy  another coffee, right? I have €9 and it's 300 p. m. Realized I left without a coffee. I would love  to get a pourover. Woohoo. Lou, thank you. Okay.    How much do I owe you? It's okay. I saw me. What?   Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure. You're   too kind, man. Thank you so much. Thank you. Wow.   If anyone comes to Berlin, come get a coffee at   Luc. You made my day. Thank you so much, man.   Cheers. Wow. Thank you. Good luck with the flat.    Ah, thank you. Please go support  this man. I just thought I was about to spend   half my budget on a coffee. Kindness of strangers.   There you go. First sip of this Indonesian coffee.    Oh wow, that is really good. Super  delicious. Not too bad. Are you enjoying a tour? I am. It's like  the most random thing I have ever done   in my life to join something like this. I  think it's the most random thing that also   happened to me as like random. Okay, good.   Do you make this? This is so cool. What?    I see a runner in the distance. He's coming  this way. He's running really fast, though. Chickened out. It's tough. It's tough that one. I don't know. I have no  excuse. He looked at me. I looked at him. I hope you don't have a failure tally on  this video. It is 3:30. I still do   not have a place to sleep tonight. Excuse me. Can  anybody host me? I promise I'm not crazy. Sorry,   man. I'm doing a bit of a challenge. Can I join  you for a kilometer? Yeah, of course. Let's go.    Do I need to talk to you? No, you don't need to  talk to me. All right. Okay, let's go, man. I've   been looking for someone. Why though? Why? That's  a good question. I thought you didn't want to talk   to me. No, I'm just kidding. As long as you talk,  it's fine. Yeah, my friends handed me challenges   that if I complete them, I get some small amounts  of money. One of the challenges was to join a   stranger on a 1 km run, but you're helping me  a lot by saying yes to this. So, that's Thomas. That is hilarious. I have these new running shoes.   Oh, nice. Oh, they're the exactly Brooks running   the glycerin. What's your name, by the way?   Vincent. What's your name? Thomas.    Thomas. You're amazing, man. Thank you so much  for No worries. Think we made it? Yeah. Hell yeah,   man. Is there any chance you would host me  tonight? Uh, probably not. My girlfriend is   not into Ah, your girlfriend. Yeah, I hear  you. You saved me anyways here on the run. So,   appreciate you. I hope you find something.   Thank you. Cheers. Have a good day. Bye. Cheers,   brother. Cheers. Wow, that was the smoothest  run I've had in a long time. And uh Vincent, ### [20:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qrxj5N_eYE&t=1200s) Segment 5 (20:00 - 25:00) what a legend. That gives me €7.   Not bad. I could get some stuff for   €7. I'm a bit dedicated to not spending money  on water, though. It feels kind of silly. I   feel like if Germany has public bathrooms,  there should be places to fill up water. going to be my lunch. As Anna's  spontaneous tour was coming to an end,   she had realized that her tour guide had  seemed like a really nice woman that she   felt she could trust to host her for the night.   But not wanting the guide to feel pressured,   Anna decided to keep the camera pointed away as  she went in for the ask. I'm going to leave you   here. Have a nice day. Enjoy. What are you going  to do? I'm going to the train station. Okay. Well,   so I need to I hope this and I know it's really  really really crazy. You want to be to   go to my place? Maybe not now, but I feel pretty  safe with you. So if I know it's like super crazy,   but I was wondering if there was any chance that  you have a spare couch or anything. Like I don't   want to disturb you. Well, you look nice. I'm  just wondering if he's clever enough to have a   stranger in my house. I know. I have never stayed  at a stranger's house. Like also dangerous for   you. Yeah. So, this is super weird for both of  us, but uh you seem like someone that's going   to be safe. Uh let me see. Yeah, I will give  them my contact. Don't sleep on the street.    You are the up. We're going to go and check  in Anna now. Hope she's doing good. Okay,   so she is literally like down here. She's coming  now. Should we surprise her? Should we? Susan, the   tour guide. She told me that I could stay at her  place tonight, maybe. So, she gave me her contact   info. phone number. It looks like  I might have a place to stay. I cannot believe how   well this day is going. Huh? What is happening?   What? Stop. I just want to say hello. Hello,   stop. This is the scariest thing ever. I cannot  believe it. Things are going great. No, here and I might be staying at her place.   It might be figured out. I was given a beer by   these by this couple of people. Have you been  out drinking beer in Berlin? Yes. Let's go. No,   honestly inspiring. So, keep sending it.   I have fulfilled my purpose here with   you. Thank you, Saf. Thank you. Bye. Bye.   She's crushing it. I'm so relieved. But with   still many hours left to go. Like the thing  is we have had experiences where someone you   know says yes but then are like am I going  to host a stranger? And they pull back. So   hopefully Anna got this. We believe in her. How  are you? Yeah. Good. Yeah. What's up? Let's go   take a picture. Wow. It would be so easy if I  could just ask someone who recognized me. How   you doing? Can I ask you guys a question? Yeah.   Is this a good area to explore in Berlin? Yeah,   he lives here. Okay, nice. And  what are you guys doing today? Just vibing.    Yeah. Walking around. Going to have a beer.   How do you guys know each other? We're playing   a band together. No way. Yeah. So, you guys  are rock stars, basically. Working   on it. Working on it. What's the name of the  band? Iguana Death Cults. That is a sick name. I'm in need of liberation. Do you have a couch I could stay on? I'm staying  on my couch is sleeping in my bed today. Ah,   you're stay Okay, you're good. You're good.   I have I'm already hosting today. You're already   hosting? Yeah. But you'll find you'll find, man.   You think so? Yeah. Especially weekend bars. Yeah.    Are you allowed to online? You know, that's a  good question. I guess I could look online cuz   it's still a stranger. Yeah, I think there's like  many websites of like proper couch surfing and   people offering Yeah, maybe that's a good idea.   Yeah, I see Thomas having a conversation. He's   talking to people. Are you guys from Germany?   Are you from here? Yes. Do you know any good   food place nearby? Down the street. There's a  lot of food plates. Thank you so much. Love you   guys's outfit and everything. Bye. I love your  outfit. I also feel like I've given now a lot of   compliments. I think I'm at the 10 compliments.   I don't even know how much money I made. I think   I made like €20. So, I think we're having a  feast. a lot of food now. I want to try a very classic don.   What's your most classic? Classic. Yeah,   classic dun.   Thank you so much. Thank you.    This is my very first time trying  a donut and I'm doing it in Berlin.

Nice ### [25:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qrxj5N_eYE&t=1500s) Segment 6 (25:00 - 30:00) to meet you guys. Enjoy the beer and good luck on  the tour. You want to get a beer or maybe you meet   someone? Let me buy you a beer. Oh my god. Really?   Let's go. It's like sending your kid to school,   you know? He got friends.

I'm bar meeting some friends and stuff.    Okay. Yeah. Do you do you want to join us then?   Is it is this what you like waiting for? Uh if   you would invite me. Yes. This would be my dream.   So yeah, of course. Yes. Okay. I am very happy.    It's like completely random. But but the group  is actually completely random anyways. And this   Yeah. It's like a German traditional bar. Okay.   Thank you. Hello. Do you want a viewer as well?    I will get a beer. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet  you guys. See you guys later. And just like that,   the challenge continues. I might have to put my  sweater back on. It is getting cold. Things are   starting to close up. It does feel like  people are not out as much as they were   before. It's getting cold. does feel like this  last hour is my last chance to finding someone.    How about hosting a stranger? How about  you do something crazy? They did ask me,   "Why don't you use the couch surfing app? " We've  never done that before. The problem is I don't   know if it's cheating or not. Feels less exciting.   But you know what also feels less exciting? Being   on the street. What's up, man? Hi. What's up? How  you doing? Mind if we grab a photo with you? Yeah,   of course. Thank you so much. Thank you so  much, man. Can't wait to watch the video.    Thank you guys. Have a good trip. Man, that  guy would have hosted me for sure. What's up,   man? How you doing? That guy completely ignored  me. Well, this is not how I thought this day   would go. Cheers. Do you also say cheers in  Swedish or people are so open here? Yeah,   I would also say so. Yeah, like I cannot  believe I learned to just ask you what way   I should go and now I'm here. Like, this  is crazy. Yeah, but it's fun. Yeah, it is. I have some bad news, which is that I  just felt my few first drops of rain.    How you doing, man? Good. I'm in uh Berlin just  exploring, meeting people. Met a lot of cool,   nice people in the city. What was your name?   Em. My challenge for today is   to find a stranger to host me tonight. I see.   I mean, I would, but I live with my parents.    And I see they wouldn't be so happy about  that. I see. One of the challenges   I have for today is to do a small race with a  stranger. Small race. You're going back to   the grocery store. Yeah. Oh, it's all right,  man. We got it. Come on. All right. Nice. You did it. The shoes. Look at my shoes. I  know. I have my new running kicks. Do they make   a difference? Yeah. I can feel it. You're  a legend. Thank you very much. Nice to meet you,   man. I'll give you a hug. I got you. I'll let you  know if I find someone. You're the best. See you,   man. See you. I think I won that race cuz  I got the better shoes. That was amazing.    I have now completed the two running challenges  for the day. And that's another €6. Feel like I'm   rich right now. I have €28. The whole point  of these small challenges is to push you to   go towards meeting new people. Is to encourage  you to do things that are a bit unusual. Truly, ### [30:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qrxj5N_eYE&t=1800s) Segment 7 (30:00 - 35:00) I think if you recount all the people that I've  met today, I would never have met them had I not   been doing what I'm doing today. So, even if  mentally it can be a struggle to think about,   man, I don't know where I'm sleeping tonight, it  is also a blessing to get to be out in the world,   meeting new people, doing all these mad things.   It is raining. The time flew by.    Sun sets in 10 minutes and I don't have a place  to stay. I have hosted a stranger before and his   name was Amar. And I ended up starting yesterday  with him. He was a stranger when I hosted him. So,   I have hosted someone that I didn't really know  before and it did lead to a wonderful friendship.    However, I don't know how open people are to  these things. There's nobody left here. There's   a lot of people here just a little while ago. Me,  this place was full a while ago. I need to like   find shelter somewhere. So, I am getting wet and  cold. Well, little recap here. This is starting to   feel challenging. I've asked Stefan what he thinks  about me downloading the couch surfing app. In the   meantime, I've downloaded it and the rain has just  like deleted everyone from being outside. Teach me   one thing you wish more people knew. Okay. Uh  I wish that more people know about the dangers   of social media. Um people get influenced  by like the short videos, no fact checked   um videos like just like headlines, younger  people and older people as well. That was that   was really good. That was really profound. Okay,  wait. I'm going to think about something I wish   more people knew. But I feel like after today,  I have always been really afraid of going up to   strangers. But just the feeling I had now when  I was able to go up to you guys and be like,   "Where should I go? " and then walk after you and  you guys invited me. Like that was such an amazing   feeling. Like I feel like more people should not  be afraid of speaking to strangers and trying to   make friends. I think it's the same for  like going out of your comfort zone, right?    So just as said like uh you just make friends  and uh have a great time. That's amazing. Okay,   we got some wise words. Yeah, that's that might  deep deep. So, I was I'm hanging out with these   two guys and now two girls and another guy joined  and they were like, "Do you want to go party? " So,   I think we're going to party. So, this is going  amazingly. Like, I've met so many people today   and they're so nice and it feels like I've  known them forever. It's so cool. Okay,   the team is voting against couch surfing. So, I'm  going to have to find someone outside. This blows.    There's like nobody left now. It's a ghost town.   It's pretty crazy. Well, I'm going to start with   getting a kebab. I have €27, I think. So, that  should be plenty of money for a kebab. How you   doing, sir? Hey, what are you filming there?   Uh, just exploring Berlin. Filming yourself,   so to say. Yeah. What about you? What are you up  to? I just finished sports. Hell yeah, man. Hey,   good man. And what are you What is your plan  now? Actually, there's no yet evening plans.    No evening plans. Okay, cool. Nice. You don't  mind the rain? You're just sitting here. It's   just a little bit. Come on. Yeah, that's true.   That's true. It's not so bad. You're committed to   sitting outside on a Saturday afternoon. Enjoy the  moment. Yeah, I agree. Before it's too dark. Yeah,   I agree. Yeah. I'm just basically I'm doing  a video where I'm relying on the kindness of   strangers here in Berlin. Yeah. So, I've just  been meeting people. Mhm. And uh I'm looking for   a stranger to host me tonight, which is a crazy  ask, but that's what I'm doing. So going around,   I could I could horse you, but you need to  have your own mattress, so to say. So Okay. Yeah,   because u I rented out my place and I'm crushing  at uh friend of mine's empty apartment, so to say.    So Oh, no way. Okay. So you just have a mattress  and then you just have mattress. Okay. I have a   shelter. I have a roof. Exactly. Yeah.   Okay. Cool. What was your name? Chris. I'm   Thomas. Nice to meet you. Yeah. Can I give you my  number and then can let me know. Nice. You're a   spontaneous person it seems. H I've been traveling  more than enough. So where have you traveled since   age of 20 so to say? I left for Sydney and then  Asia here and then Amsterdam another three or   four years. 4 years. Wow. You've been all over  the world. So we've got a deal. Amazing. Chris,   you're a freaking legend. What made you so open in  life? You seem like a very open person. When you   been on the road, you see all different. Yeah. You  just put yourself in the different shoes   and uh you rely on generosity of the humanity  sometimes. That's a beautiful message. 99% ### [35:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qrxj5N_eYE&t=2100s) Segment 8 (35:00 - 40:00) of time it works. Yeah. Amazing. See you  8:30 there. 8:30. Beautiful. Freaking legendary,   man. Let's go. Yeah. I was starting to lose hope  with the the sun setting. Yeah. Never losing   hope. Shoot me a text then if there's any issues.   No, no problem. Yes. I was about to give up. So,   here's the thing. Chris is renting out his  apartment. He said he's got a lovely apartment   and he would have hosted me for sure, but now  he's staying at a friend's empty apartment. Like,   the idea of basically going to sleep on the floor,  not only a stranger's house, a stranger's friend's   house feels like a bit of a stretch, but at the  same time, he did seem very genuine. So, for that   reason, I trust him. I hope that Anna has found  somewhere to stay. I am experienced. I've done   this in seven places and I'm still struggling. If  it's like done working out, you can text me. I now   have two places I can stay at. I can either stay  with Susana, my initial option, or I can stay at   his place. He's the football coach of this whole  team. Hi. Uh, challenge a stranger to 100 meter   race. Ah, I thought 1 kilometer. Yeah,  we're going to do it. Oh my god, this is going   to be so cool. Me and Janice, we're doing it. 100  meter race. He's a professional football player,   so he might destroy me, but I don't care. I'm  going to win. I try my best. Three, two, one, go. Congrats. Thank you. She's a real winner.   I don't know what to say. Maybe it was the   shoes. It might have been the shoes. We  got more friends here now. Okay, Anna,   nice to meet you. I'm doing a challenge with  some other people. It's like surviving alone.    No money, no food. So, I've seen stuff like  this from Yes. Fury. You know that? Yeah. Yeah,   I do. Yeah. How are you? That's the  best one. I'll do this. That is delicious.    Okay. Chris just texted me. He said, "Let's  make it earlier. Just head straight to my   place. Just had an evening plans idea. " Dot dot  dot in Berlin. God knows where that could take   us. I feel a little bit nervous because I feel  that Chris is wilder than I am. Chris works at   a nightclub called For those people who know what  is, you know, it's a pretty wild place and to work   there means you're probably a wild person. Am I  embarking on a freaking insane excursion tonight   that I'm not really ready for. It's just pitched  me that we should go to a very cool sauna tonight. That sounds suspicious and sketchy. I met a  guy drinking a beer on a bench who's inviting   me to a very special sauna. Should I go  with him right now? It is 8:00 p. m. It is   cold and raining outside. I have nowhere  else to go. Feel like I'm struggling   like this. Anna's probably struggling as  well. Cheers, guys. Cheers. We're getting   some food. I really want to get a curry  word cuz I've never had it before. Vamos,   I have to say that I was really scared of walking  in the dark alone. It feels amazing to have like   six people around me. I'm going to do more solo  traveling. I want to go like everywhere. I'm so   excited to be in Germany and have a curry.   Look at this. We got some amazing curry. Welcome. Oh, go inside. Cheers. You like German beer? I mean,  it's weird. Okay. Sorry. I've been spending the last hour and a half  assessing this situation. Chris does seem   like a legend, an old school backpacker who's  been all around the world and understands the   struggle of looking for a place to stay.   He also seemed like a bit of a wild man.    The second text he ever sent me was, "Should  we go sauna? " Now, if you're watching this,   you probably shouldn't do that. Somebody texts you  that. However, I asked some friends from Berlin,   "What kind of sauna are we like could I  expect here? " And they texted me one sauna,   and they were like, "This is the one sauna that  is like super local, but it's not anything weird.    It's just a sauna. " They sent me that link and  said, "If this is the sauna, then it's okay. " And   then he texted me like 4 seconds later and said,  "This is the sauna. " And it was the same one. So,   that was a good sign, as you might imagine. This  is the direction that I'm currently walking. I'm   walking towards the sauna right now. It is really  cold. So, a sauna actually sounds amazing. Okay,   this down like this dark alleyway that it's just  like dark here. Is there a sauna place down here?    It feels crazy. This is my final video. It's been  a good ride, guys. Oh, okay. I think it's in here. ### [40:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qrxj5N_eYE&t=2400s) Segment 9 (40:00 - 45:00) Is this place even open right now? Like nobody  here. Oh, I think this is it. I just don't don't   know. Like, do I just go inside? Like, what am I  doing? What am I doing? This is insane. The level   of trust in a stranger this is taking right  now is outside of my comfort zone. And see,   discomfort is like my thing, you know? That's like  what I do. Maybe I just go in, but I just don't   want to go in and film when I'm not supposed to.   I'll see you on the other side. Hello. Is this the   sauna place? Okay. I was trying to figure out how  to get in. Yeah. Thank you. Surviving here. Can I   say bye? I'm going to leave. So nice meeting you.   Thank you for today. Take care. Stay safe. I have   been now in this bar for several hours. The whole  evening has passed by so quickly, but I'm so happy   because Susanna texted me back and she said that  I could stay at her place. So, I'm going to use   my last like €8 on a taxi to her place. I feel  so weird going to a stranger's place, but it's   happening and I'm so happy I get to stay at a  girl's place. It's been so much fun.    I've had like such an incredible day and the day  is not over. We're still going to Susanna's place. I got it. I got it here. This is going to be my bed for  the night. Susanna is the best. Laughing at this experience. Chris, you  did not disappoint. That was wild but also   amazing. Nothing captured but only good  memories. It's the most important part.    Nice. Got a little 30inut line pass. This is  turning out way better than I thought. That   sauna experience was incredible. There was not  a whole lot of clothing inside, but it was still   great. It was still fun. Now we are biking was  Chris's friend's place that he's crashing at. Chris is actually super friendly. He's actually  one of those just old school backpackers who's   just hitchhiked his way through so many different  countries and got so many good stories. This is   turning out to be a really great evening and  I got to experience a side of Berlin that I   would have never found otherwise. So, I  guess I'm grateful to be doing this 11   years in. Such a nice evening. Thank you,  Chris. Well, I was already thinking like,   shall I push the limits and say go to the  little devil on my shoulder was already like, okay. Wow. Hell yeah. This is  perfect. This is the moon we   picked up at the house. Exactly. I got  my sleeping bag here. He has a sleeping   mattress there. This is quite lovely.   Perfect. Okay. Good night. Good morning. Good morning.   I slept good after sauna. The sleep is just   incredible. Yeah. Great success. Crazy.   This is such a big area. West Berlin's I   guess abandoned airport. If he's abandoned,  it looks pretty abandoned. The purpose of   doing any challenges like this is not  to torture ourselves unnecessarily,   but because sparks of new friendships await  around every corner. Yeah, see one of the last   wild ones. It is strange sometimes to think that  it is more normal to walk past strangers without   ever talking to them than it is to actually  say hello. And these abandoned in challenges   we've been doing now for almost 10 years around  the world always prove this to us. A day that   starts in great uncertainty has every single  time, no matter where we are, ended in a new   connection that would likely never have happened  otherwise. Here we are where it started. Let's go. You're alive. You did it. I survived. You  survived, too. And Anna proved that with wits,   following your intuition, and keeping  up good energy, this store exists.    of course done mindfully for everyone that's flood  her with love as a community for embracing this   challenge not only with courage but with a full  openness of a yes theory adventure in a world that ### [45:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qrxj5N_eYE&t=2700s) Segment 10 (45:00 - 45:00) tries to scare us of one another experiences  like this remind us truly of how many amazing   humans there are out there in the world and as  our yes theory saying goes a stranger is just a   friend you haven't met yet thank you once again  for the amazing team from Brooks Running from   trusting us and enabling this experience their  new line of running shoes are truly the best   running and walking shoes we have ever used. If  you are out there seeking adventure like we are,   the glycerin flex and Max 2 await you. But can  we say that Germans are nice, very nice,   very friendly, very open. Wild ones, but good,  good, good. Thomas, what did you experience? --- *Источник: https://ekstraktznaniy.ru/video/52046*
