Why Your 20s Are the Best Time for Life-Changing Adventures

This video is not for everyone. If you are between 20 and 30 years old, this video might interest you. The fact is,

even I have things today that, as much as I might want to, I couldn't do, or it would be very difficult to do.

Getting on a plane and deciding to pack your life into a suitcase and essentially move to another country is

not something you can do easily. As you get older, you have a partner, a cat, a pet, children; it keeps getting more

complicated. However, when you are 20 and many people say "I have nothing, I'm at my parents 'house, I have

nothing," that moment when you have nothing also means you have nothing to lose. Not everything is bad, and at the

moment you are starting out, you don't know it, but something that seems normal to you, like a job in another

city or taking a trip alone, might become a story that, in 10 years, won't be so easy to live. Let me explain. I

was lucky enough to try and move to the United States. This means packing your suitcase, getting on the plane, showing

up in the United States, and having to return because you couldn't manage to stay and live there for whatever reason

. I tried once, I came back empty-handed; I tried again, and the same thing happened. And I ended up

trying a third time, this time with Vegeta, and that was the one that worked for us. What happened? Looking

back at that whole time, right now, it seems crazy to me. I don't know how, by moving to the United States, to Los

Angeles, I ended up—instead of living in Los Angeles, which is where I wanted to live—on the other coast, 5 and a

half hours away by plane. Think about where you can get to in 5 and a half hours, okay? In Spain, in 5 and a half

hours, you can reach Dubai. In Argentina, in Mexico, in 5 and a half hours, you cross half a continent. Well

, I ended up living in Dallas, 5 and a half hours away, in a house in the middle of the woods with a guy I didn't

know at all, and his girlfriend of a week was an adult film actress. And I lived through this when I was 20. In a

way, you don't realize you're living through something, but what you are experiencing might be the best

adventure of your life. For better or for worse. I have a very optimistic way of looking at life, and every time

something bad happens to me, I take it as something good and say, "Okay, I'm going to remember this." There are many

things from an incredible trip you’ve taken with friends that you’ll remember, but then there's when they

lose your suitcase at the hotel, or you lost your hotel key, there was nobody there until 3 a.m., and you couldn't

get into your room. Those bad things, which obviously aren't a tragedy, are the things we see as bad in the moment

that you’re going to remember for the rest of your life and take as something positive. So, at that moment I didn't

know, it didn't even seem like something bad, but it’s something that the 20-year-old Willy was living

through, not knowing it would mark the 30-year-old Willy, and surely the 40- year-old one too. To set the scene for

you, before I ended up in Dallas with a porn actress, okay? Living in the same house, my friend, her, and me, okay?

There was no one else. Me at 20 years old, my face full of acne, spaced out, I didn't have a clue about anything.

That was my situation in a house in the middle of the woods. I was at a point in my life where things were going well

for me. I was making quite a bit of money, I didn't spend anything, I didn't even have a driver's license, I

had no luxuries, I wore my high school clothes. I was 20, I was in my room all day; I was just a kid who loved playing

on the computer and uploading videos. At that time, as you already know, I was having a really hard time. I'm

going to explain it to you briefly because I know there are people who can't watch these videos because they

aren't made for everyone. There are people who don't have the ability to go 20 minutes without scrolling. So if you

are here and watching this video, you've already surpassed many people who weren't able to handle it. What I

mean is that at that moment, I wasn't feeling well. I was a person who felt very watched, I was starting to become

known, and I was—and still am—a very introverted person, and I didn't know how to handle that part well,

which over time, through knocks and experience, you end up toughening up a bit. But at that moment, well, imagine

500,000 subscribers, 1 million, I don't remember exactly. I don't know how much I was making a month, 10,000, 15,000,

20,000 €, fine, but my standard of living hadn't changed; simply, if I had to travel, I traveled on a normal

flight, 12 hours in Economy like everyone else. I didn't have any luxuries, it’s just that my bank

account had numbers I didn't even look at, you know? Back then, at 20, I had traveled quite a bit since I was 18

with the esports team, with Pain Gaming , with Stacks and many other players we had on the team, traveling around

Europe; and there were nine of us in one room, triple bunks, horrible, the cheapest stuff, what many people have

experienced, you know? We lived there with, I don't know, cockroaches, it was very bad, you know? At one point in

London, I got bitten by 200,000 bedbugs all over my arms. Terrible. Very bad neighborhoods. I don't know why, but I

saw it as normal. I was there with people and we had a good time. Things you can only do at 18 or 20, like going

on an Interrail trip or backpacking, because later, at 40, you become a little more refined and picky, and

you're no longer willing to sleep, perhaps, on a mattress on the floor or stay in a one-star hotel. But at 20,

it’s your time to live experiences. At that time, I had no responsibilities , I only had a commitment to my

subscribers that I had promised I would upload a video every day. I lived at my parents' house, in one room, like any

normal kid. I wasn't doing anything spectacular and I had no responsibilities. As I tell you, what

was I afraid of? I was afraid of staying. I was afraid of staying in Madrid, where I lived, in Spain, and

going out on the street. That scared me . Going to another country where people didn't know me was a liberation for me.

I needed it. So at that moment, I said, "Let's go there." I wrote to all my friends, as you know, from YouTube, to

Ángel, to Rubius, to Lbby, to everyone I knew, "Hey, are you coming to live in the United States with me?""No, what

are you talking about? I don't feel like it, I don't dare, I have a family, okay, perfect." I started writing to my

friends in the United States, uh, in England, "Hey, I want to move to Los Angeles." At that time, everything was

happening in Los Angeles. The biggest video game convention took place there. The big studios, especially Call of

Duty, which was the only content I uploaded, were also there in Los Angeles, so I said, "We have to live

here." I had been there before for some events and it was incredible; nobody knew me, and it was the American dream.

Well, it seems this isn't over yet, because we had just been waiting outside for about an hour for an

English friend, and suddenly he says, " There's a party in here." And there was a party inside the booths, as you can

see, that's the other building. So, in that moment when you don't have any commitments, you decide to talk to

everyone. And a kid from the United States, a YouTuber who doesn't post videos anymore, told me, "Sure, yeah, I

want to move to LA too, I live somewhere in the middle of the US, let's go live there." Okay, perfect.

There's an event that day, I pack my bags, it's a Call of Duty event. We go, we film the video, and we stay there to

live. Perfect. I'll take care of everything. I was 20 years old, imagine that. I didn't know how to do anything,

I didn't know much about life, I was clumsy and shy. The typical thing where you're at an airport and you're a

little scared, not very street-smart. You know how guys are at 18 or 20, you have no clue about life. Girls, really,

they seem like they're 5 years older, and I live it now that I have two daughters; compared to boys, it's a

different rhythm, okay? And they develop much faster than we do. I was clueless at 18, 20 years old, and at

that moment he tells me he'll take charge, and I say, "Okay, perfect." He doesn't say anything else. There was

one week left before the trip. I was recording a ton of videos to have, while I was adapting and so on, about a

week or two of buffer, to have 15 videos scheduled and ready to publish. Suddenly, it's time to travel. Wait,

the guy hasn't told me anything. Yeah, yeah. Well, he'll arrive a week later. I got on the plane to Los Angeles that

day. A week later. I said, "Well, I don't know, they put me in a hotel, I'll go down to the reception and say,

'Hey, book more for me.'" I had two nights paid for and I said, "Extend it, I don't know, three more nights." I'm

there so relaxed, and this guy hasn't written to me. Yeah, sorry, it’s just that Justin Bieber invited me, this is

real. Justin Bieber invited me, he’s a subscriber to my videos, and he invited me on a private jet. I was in

Miami, he invited me on a private jet to go to Las Vegas, where there’s an event, CES, the biggest tech event.

What on earth are they doing in Las Vegas for this event? He tells me, " I'll write to you in a week." Okay, a

week passed, I’m there in Los Angeles , I have no computer, I have nothing, what am I doing in Los Angeles? I

didn't feel like visiting anything. I was next to the beach, I went out a little. There isn't a custom of going

to the beach, lying down, swimming. People don't usually do that in the United States or specifically in Los

Angeles. At that moment I asked on Twitter, "Hey, can anyone give me a hand? I'm here, what do I do in Los

Angeles?" And Luzu writes to me, I didn't know who Luzu was, a guy writes to me, "I have a Mustang and I can show

you the city." I checked this guy out, well, let's see, he uploads videos, uploaded some blogs, he seemed like a

good kid from Bilbao, Spain. Alright, let's go, I replied and started hanging out with him, he showed me the city, we

became friends, we started making videos together and that's where I met Luzu. Just think, I go to live in Los

Angeles, I get stood up, and thanks to that I meet Luzu. Deciding to look at his photo and say, "He seems like a

good kid." Calling my parents, I remember it was night in Spain, and telling them, "Hey, this guy wrote to

me, what do you think?" And they told me, "Well, let's see, yeah, he seems like a good guy, looking at his videos,

uh, he has a girlfriend who is Brazilian, does he speak Portuguese?" Well, he seems like a good guy, yeah.

Just be careful, son. I let Luzu know, I start getting along really well with Luzu, we record a bunch of videos, uh,

Luzu in Hollywood, 1,000 different videos. And to top it all off, he writes to me and says, "Hey, look, I'm

sorry, a week has passed and I'm not going to Los Angeles. It's just that look, I met a girl and, well, she's my

partner now and I'm going to go live with my manager, he's going to find me a house and we're going to Dallas."

First, what do I do? I open my phone, Dallas, United States, and I look and it's on the other end, literally, from

Los Angeles. I said, "Man, look, this wasn't the initial plan, Los Angeles, Dallas." He tells me, "Don't worry,

we'll be here for a while and then we'll go to Los Angeles." And I said, " Well, whatever, as long as I want to

live here, where nobody knows me, I don't want to go back to Spain." Okay, I head over there, I take a plane, I

land, 5 hours and change, I land, they come to pick me up. I spoke practically no English, just, hello, how are you?

And I could half-defend myself, but not enough to have a conversation. I couldn't make a friend in English, okay

? They pick me up in a jeep, I get in the back and I'm sitting there, we're leaving the parking lot and I feel like

I had something there, like I had sat on something and I look and I pull out a metal thing and it was a bullet, okay

? A bullet like this and also the rest of the seats next to me were full of ammo boxes, some open and others closed

, large ammo, small ammo. And I say, " Friend, this is a bullet, what are we doing?" And he tells me, "Yeah, yeah,

this car isn't mine, it's my friend's, who is, uh, FPS Russia." And I, "Oh, okay, this was the number one guy, okay

?" He was the guy who had the most views on all of YouTube, practically. He uploaded videos of shooting weapons,

crazy weapons, whatever, I was in his car, on the way to his house, I didn't know this yet and suddenly we're there,

you tell me, "Yeah, it's just that my manager and his manager are the same." Oh, okay, okay, perfect. A 2-hour drive

, okay? It's not that I was in Dallas, it's that I was 2 hours from Dallas, middle of nowhere, very far, in the

middle of the woods. Right, also, Slenderman was in style and I lived in a house where Slenderman could

perfectly be in the woods with a lake it had, right? The typical lake. Idyllic, oh, it's coming, a house with

a dock and you have a lake. No, no. Do you have any images here from the video where I was? That was scary in January,

in February, freezing cold. Hey, hello everyone, Wres here, and you're seeing some kind of canoes and docks and such

over here. What's going on? At that time, I was happy and said, "Okay, we're living here in a house, a big

house, three, four floors, the rent was cheap, there was barely any internet, not enough to play or do anything." I

was saying, "Hey, without internet, we're struggling." My friend, practically the number one Call of Duty

YouTuber, had stopped uploading videos because he had lost his mind and went partying and so on, and hadn't uploaded

in like two months. In fact, he didn't come to the Call of Duty event, and I said, "Hey man, you stopped uploading

videos, but I'm still uploading, and I only have three or four days of videos left, I don't have any more." I had

left like 50, 60, I don't know how many videos, 70 videos in total or 80, and the days have passed, all the videos I

had prepared and so on. At that moment, I'm there in the house. I remember we would go shopping. We went about our

lives; I don't really know what we did. My mind has erased it. We got along well. I was learning a lot of English;

they were both very nice. And if anyone is wondering what the girl was like, she was very nice, you could say she

worked in anything else. What she explained was that she hadn't had an easy childhood, the absence of a family

member, and in the end, to make a living, she ended up doing that "let me try and do it just to earn some money,"

and she ended up going there for many years. And of course, they had met because it just so happens that CES,

this technology event, is held at the same time as the Oscars in Las Vegas, in the same place. So, they met there,

for whatever reason, started talking, and this guy said, "Well, don't worry, come with me, let's find a way for you

to, you know, get ahead and get another job and so on, come with me to my house ." And at that moment, I appeared in

the mix and was living there with them. But anyway, a very simple, normal girl, I'm not going to tell you her name, but

in short, a normal, nice girl who simply had a difficult childhood and that's about it. We didn't have many

days to talk either, but my impression is that she was a nice girl. We would go from time to time to this guy's

house who had a bunch of weapons, and I remember one of those times, for whatever reason, he had a problem

because the other one of his managers had been killed in a settling of scores . I'm going to tell it poorly, but in a

nutshell, his other manager was promising that this guy was going to make a video for $ 50,000 or $ 100,000

and wasn't telling the YouTuber. Just imagine you have a manager and he tells you, "Yeah, yeah, Willy is going to

make this video. Look, give me € 50,000. Perfect. Willy will do it for you, uh, tomorrow." Yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah. Perfect. To another, bang, bang, bang, scamming people, and I don't know , me not knowing anything. So, what

happens? People come and I say, "But what are you talking about? My manager hasn't told me anything." Well, it was

a settling of scores. That man had been killed. They don't mess around there. I remember being at his house, a tiny

house in the middle of the woods, and he tells me, "Yeah, yeah, look, look." And he shows me a sniper rifle that was

inside a briefcase. Okay, imagine a work briefcase, you'd open it and there was a folded sniper rifle. Well, it

looks like a sniper rifle. I think it was a SCAR-L or some other thing with a scope. I have some photo, uh, I think

wearing a black hoodie and so on from Jack&Jones. How could I not? I remember taking that photo, but he took me to

the basement and there was no light in the basement. There was no light and there weren't any tiles, not even on

the stairs. You were walking and it was concrete, it was unfinished flooring. So you were walking, getting poked, uh,

we were using the phone's flashlight and little by little, in the middle of the darkness, it was exactly the same

house, but without walls and everything downstairs, no windows, nothing, all dark. And walking by the flashlight, at

the back of the room you can see there's a huge safe, bigger than me. At the time I start walking over there, he

tells me, "Yeah, yeah, look, I have more weapons here." He opens that massive door, which weighed a ton, and

starts taking weapons out of there. An AK-47, some other thing, a Desert Eagle . I remember holding a gold Desert

Eagle in my hand, just like in Call of Duty 4, a gold Desert Eagle in my hands , and saying, "Wow, yeah, yeah, so cool

, take that, take that." I had never touched a weapon in my life. I had just been handed a sniper rifle upstairs and

down here I had enough weapons to, I don't know, take down three zombie armies. Perfect. On the way home, which

was about 20 minutes away. I remember thinking, "Okay, I'm leaving, and I’m leaving fast." And literally the next

day I booked a plane ticket. That said, with the intention of saying, "Look, there's no internet here." I kept

telling this guy, "Hey, take me to buy a computer." He wouldn't take me for some reason or another, because he was

with this girl he just met all day, they were in love, and I was like the third wheel, I didn't have a driver's

license, everything was wrong. And I said, "Look, I'm having a great time, eh, I'll keep paying the rent, I'm

going to Spain, I'll go for 10 days, record a ton of videos, and come back here because this experience has been

incredible, honestly." I was happy, these were very strange and peculiar situations like these. I've had a few

similar ones over the years, especially when I was 20 in the United States, but I wasn't uncomfortable, it wasn't that

I felt afraid for myself, I was living it as something normal. When you experience so many strange things and

your life is no longer normal, at that point you start to normalize things. I went home and talking there with my

parents, they didn't know anything about this. Maybe they're finding out today, okay? 15 years later. I was in

that moment and I said to myself, well, I'm very comfortable at home. And I don't know if you have this feeling,

those of you who have traveled will understand me. When you go away from home, everything changes, you're very

hungry for life, you have many new sensations, you want to grow, you've improved, and then when you return home

, some people miss it and say, "How nice, I'm back home." And there are people who see home like, "Wow, nothing

has changed." Everything is just as it was. I have evolved, I am someone else, but the neighborhood, my friends, the

jokes, everyone is still the same. But the thing is, I am no longer the same. These experiences, I know I could no

longer live them. I can't take risks anymore—or maybe not risks, but I can't just pick up and move somewhere

else without knowing how long I'll be there. I have two dogs, and just moving with two dogs is a huge ordeal. What's

more, moving with a partner, whether they'll find work, if they want to, or their attachment to family. There are

always a thousand more factors that somehow make it harder to have these experiences. For me, the best

experience a human being can have is traveling or moving to live somewhere else. You don't have to go to another

country or the other side of the planet . You can move to another city within your own country and everything changes

. It’s simply learning to find a new restaurant, how things work, doing laundry somewhere else, learning your

way around the grocery store. Wow, they don't have the things you always used to buy here. My neighbors, what are

they like? These kinds of new situations help you evolve, and that’s what helped me a lot and what

I’ve noticed the most. In fact, after being here in Andorra, when I arrived and met my partner, my goal was to be

here for a year or two and then move to another country. I used to say, "Wow, Vegeta, what I notice most is that

every time I go on a trip, I grow, and I really notice it in my daughters every time we go on a trip, even if

it's just for three days, I don't know, to Galicia." It doesn't have to be a trip where you have to go to Disneyland

, Paris, or Japan. Any trip, however simple, helps children and adults evolve in some way because you’re

exposed to different situations, and that’s where you grow. The bottom line is that the sooner you can make

these decisions, the better. And the best age is 16, 17, 18. If you can go study abroad, it's a gift. If your

family can afford it or you've gotten good enough grades and you can do it, do it. The worst that can happen is you

go there, you don't like the house you're living in or the room, the teachers are horrible, they treat you

badly—you come back, that's it, it's no big deal. Okay, good experience, bye , I'm leaving. I didn't last a week,

and that's it. But you lived the experience of what it's like. Certainly , if you stay at home your whole life

living with your parents without taking any risks, what will happen is you'll be doing exactly the same thing. In a

year you'll be the same, in two years you'll be the same. So, the sooner you can live those experiences, the better.

And for example, one thing that helped me a lot, I already had my partner, I was here in Andorra, we went to live in

New York for 6 months, we had known each other for less than a year and we decided to go there to live the

experience. Hey, hello everyone, Wully Redes here reporting. How are you doing , guys? I'm here with a pretty special

video, honestly, because I think I was just thinking about it now when I picked up the camera, I think I've

never made a video of my house, honestly. And I've lived in many different places. You know that in New

York I'm practically in the center, I mean, I have Times Square, which I actually see from the window. What is

the worst that can happen? That I go back to Andorra or I go back to Spain without any problem? And the best is

that we spend six months here studying English, learning, you're seeing a different culture, the opposite of what

is in Los Angeles and we live together. If it doesn't work out and we get angry and separate, well, each one goes home

and that's it. And that has been something we will remember for the rest of our lives, because it is very

unlikely that I will move again, my daughters have their school, their friends and I can't even decide myself

anymore. There are so many things that make you put down roots in the city you are in that make it increasingly

difficult to move. And really, if anyone is between, ugh, I don't know if I should study abroad or stay next year

, if you can afford it, live an experience like that before you are with your partner and adopt a cat. Do

you want to go to Bali and because you work online you can live for a month, please do it. I encourage everyone to,

if they can afford it, live an experience like that, because it is what enriches you the most and, above

all, traveling and seeing how things happen in other countries, living experiences and, in some way, if you

realize, it is what most elders say: your parents, your grandparents, they tell you about when they went to the

military service, which might be the only time they traveled and went somewhere else. Eh, suddenly they were

sent away for a year to work. In the end, that's something you don't realize when you're 20, but afterwards it's

much harder to do. So, the moment you say, "No, it's just that I have nothing , I have no money, I don't have

anything." There are jobs where if you look and say, hey, I don't have money, where can they provide housing and I

can work for good pay, without any kind of training? There are jobs in Australia, they're called FIFO, uh,

they are hard jobs, but you get there, you get paid well, they give you housing and you live the experience, if

you don't like it, hey, I don't like drilling in the mine, working 12 hours a day. Fine, well I'll just go back and

that's it. I want to start studying because now I've seen how hard it is. I want to start studying and work in an

office. Perfect. But there are possibilities and if you have the option to travel, from here I'd say

live the experiences because at 20 you don't realize it. If someone older or not who has lived through an experience

, I would like you to put it in the comments and thus encourage those people or not, perhaps to, uh, make

this decision, because one thing may be , let's say my opinion and another very different one, that of hundreds of

people. So this can be your video to leave a, uh, comment telling your experience. So yes, I'm sorry, I know

these videos don't perform well. I pay a lot of money to someone to help me choose which videos to upload to the

channel and which ones perform well and which ones perform poorly. They tell me these videos take a lot of effort, that

they don't get many views, but honestly if I can help one person to make a better decision or get encouraged to do

something that maybe they were scared of before or weren't convinced about, then maybe it's worth it. So that's it,

I'll sign off, I won't ramble anymore and see you in the next video.
