    • Ad • I was lucky enough to experience the all-new KONA Electric in Berlin recently with Marcus. It’s got a bunch of really impressive features which I’ve never seen on a car before.

    What a throwback seeing Alfie and Marcus back together again is ❤

    It’s so weird seeing y’all back together. It takes me back to my teen years. I moved 700 miles away from home and met the man of my dreams. Im currently married with a three year old and pregnant with my second. We have a small homestead and all my dreams are coming true. It’s so refreshing to see this and be reminded of how far I came from that depressed teen watching you as an escape.

    We’re building our forever home, children grown in their twenties. Heading into our 60’s loving life, healing our bodies, talking about travel. If I’m honest being a grandmother is something I’m so looking forward to. I’m probably your oldest viewer but I’ve watched you and Zoe off and on for a decade. Love the style and rhythm of your vlogs lately.

  • @agustinagarciabrandariz6885

    Made me quite emotional to see you guys together! Specially cause I was thinking about the next version of myself and then I was suddenly throw back to a younger version of me. I would spend hours watching all the Brit crew together and it's so crazy to think that we have accompany each other through so many "versions" of ourselves through the years even if we have never actually met.
    I'm going through a bariatric surgery in June after years of struggling with body image issues, obesity and just pretty much all the discrimination you can think of. I'm very excited for a new, more healthy chapter of my life but I'm also really scared. I've struggle with my body for so much of my life, and built my persona around self hatred, that the though of finally looking the way I want or the possibility of being happy sound so out of my comfort zone than it makes me scared. I'm confident I have done enough inner work to be able to receive the new me with open arms, but sometimes I get on my own way.
    Looking forward to my self love and empowerment era ✨✨✨✨✨

    this got me soo emotional, You two were the first youtubers I started watching back in 2013 or 2014 and thanks to you guys I started loving english as a language and now I couldnt picture my life without it. I love that you said that being back with Marcus felt like you were never apart and no joke my eyes got teary. It would be so nice if he could meet Ottie and reunite with Zoe too. So so lovely Alf ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

    This era of my life is transitioning to being uncomfortable and taking a leap into my dream career. Maintaining a safe space where I choose to avoid the possible outcome has come to an end because I realized I self doubt and self sabotage my full potential of something I love. Thank you Alfie for doing what you love and being such an amazing creator, know that you encourage, and inspire continue being you. We Love You.

    Motherhood 100%. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a while now and I am really hoping it happens soon. I love seeing you and Zoe with Ottie and how quickly she is growing up and learning. I am a little older than Zoe so trying for our first at this age is nerve wracking but also an exciting new chapter! ❤

    Loved seeing Marcus! Wish they spoke more in the video:( But my focus for the year is independence, self-discovery, and pleasure. I just moved from Canada to New Zealand for 2 years on my own, I’ve never been here and I don’t know anyone, so it’s really a huge step outside my comfort zone. I’m excited to be on my own and make a new life for myself here and just with all the possibilities!

    When I saw Marcus was going to be in this video, I was expecting to hear a big “Hellooooooooo.” 😢 I guess everyone moves on and everything changes. Still, it was obviously super nice to see Alfie and Marcus together.

  • @isabellaronjabenediktsdott8595

    So good to see you guys together again! I have always been inspired by you and how you manage to do fun and wild things in your life, start the day early and conquer each day. I live in Iceland and I just moved to the Westfjords this January for folk school. I'm taking outdoor activity courses, such as skiing, ice climbing and surfing and I finally feel like I'm starting to live my life to the fullest!

    The next part of life for me is sort of where you’ve arrived Alfie, my wife and I just recently laid out travel plans for 2023 (UK, NYC, Utah National Parks, Cabin trip, backpacking, and Cancun resort) then said in January 2024 we’ll think about trying for our first kid. I think the next stage will be adjusting to being a father, dog owner, home owner, husband, steady career, and appreciating the simple life of those roles. One thing that I’ve worked on this year is consistently exercising, it ebbs and flows.

  • @sezdesigns5986
    @sezdesigns5986 Před rokem +14

    I gotta say Alfie, I have been watching you and Zoe for my whole life basically... im about to be 26 now, and I am starting to get to where I am wanting to really get settled into my career so my finances are prepared for a family. The way y'all setup y'all's life for Ottie has been such an educational and motivational viewpoint that has definitely impacted how I approach building a family. I plan on getting back into the dating scene not as a "task" for myself but for opening up my life to "new". My career will allow me financially and work/life balance wise to be there for both my potential partner and future kids (hopefully)... I can't wait to hopefully one day introduce a child into the world that doesn't have to worry and have the full ability to pursue they truly want. thank you again for documenting every step even if just a little that shows us a little insight.

    Loved seeing Marcus and Alfie together again. Im about to be 49, so last years of my 40s. Will be working on being the healthiest I've ever been when I hit 50. Mentally and physically. Working hard for big changes. 2020 gave me social anxiety, so I am working on that bit as well.

    Having a bit of an emotional moment Alf realizing you're a father. Like I've watched both you and Zoe for ten years, so yes I'm aware lol. But seeing the aquarium footage, some moments it just hits different like you created a human being with the love of your life and that little girl loves you so much. How surreal. Thank you for sharing your family and your moments. I encourage you to keep pushing for your goal of taking life easy and enjoying these moments. Have a wonderful weekend!

    ---------
    what i’m going into; being at total peace with everything that is currently in my life and what i choose to bring into it. no longer living life through a hurricane (metaphorically), the winds have settled, and whatever is true will be. i definitely feel like I’ve started this step, i did a few months ago and every day is a new day of learning what brings me to peace and what doesn’t. much love 🕊️ 🤍

    @TheBeatlesToday Před rokem +11

    Great question, Alfie! I definitely feel like I'm in a new era of my life, and this is the era of ME - focusing on MY needs, MY health and wellbeing, MY happiness. I have gotten so burnt out in recent years, so I recently quit my job to make sure I can actually slow down and relax. I'm trying to live day-to-day and do things I love, like spending more time with my husband, going on long walks, reading, and cooking. At some point I'll have to sit down and think carefully about what I actually want to do in my career (gotta pay the bills lol), but for now, it's all about making sure that my mental and physical health are rock solid.

Today I"m 24 going on 25, working and living abroad, communicating in english every single day (so much that i'm slowly losing my mother tongue haha) Life is such a funny thing right?

    Seeing you and Marcus hanging out was such a throwback!! My next era is a little all over the place, if I'm being honest with myself. I was finally diagnosed with depression, anxiety, & inattentive ADHD last summer and I made it a goal for this year to really work on my mental health. My physical health is not 100%, more like 70%. I also want to become a mom so badly. Plus I want to switch to a "work from home" job, but unsure what that will entail. Love these chats! Ottie is so adorable! Seeing the world through a little ones eyes is so fascinating :)

  • @AprilsitaaLOVE

    This era is a time of enjoying my little ones while also remaining aware of myself-body and mind. Forgiving myself when I feel like I haven’t done enough and telling myself that I am enough. Kindness to myself I feel will manifest into kindness to others.

    @kristinaslovikova8729 Před rokem +1

    When I was younger and was watching your videos, I often wanted to be goal driven as you and ambitious. I never ever thought that could be my life one day, because I was always thinking of myself as a future wife and mother, building a home etc. but my goals have changed over the years. Currently I'm working on my future career as a psychologist. I've been enjoying research SO much these past 2 years that I've decided I'm going to do PhD. after my Masters. One big research I've done was a great success and now I'm working on the second one and it looks great so far. I never ever thought I would be so career driven as I am now. In the past, I thought I would have a family by now BUT life is SO good right now and I wouldn't change it for any other life. I'm completely focused on my studies, work and achieving goals. I love this season and I'm so grateful for all the opportunities. ❤ So nice to see you enjoying your family season right now, while I am in achieving goals kind of season! 🙂 Both are equally as important and I'm wishing you all the best. It's been magical coming back to your vlogs after so many years and seeing you grow. Thank you Alfie.☺

    My era is to be more grateful for the life that’s infront of me- not worrying too much about where this life will take me and living in the moment for me and me only. I feel like I am trying to get there slowly, I’ve had a lot of big changes in my life and well that did set me back but it also made me take a step back and look at life a little differently. I now know myself better than ever and know the root of my struggles. I still haven’t conquered that root so I feel like I cant be as grateful as I want to be just yet but we still have the rest of the year to go!

    So nice to see you and Mark together again, just like you had never been apart. I’ll be 60 in June and my husband 62 this year so we are looking forward to his retirement and hopefully more travel and time with family. Now the rolls are reversed and are kids are busy with work when we have time to go do things with them, so we do our thing and wait for when they have time to make it work. I also spend a lot of time with my parents, they are in their 80’s and I know every time I see them it’s a blessing, so I do it as often as I can.

    My era of life is learning about myself and taking time to understand my brain and the way that it functions. I've just started in therapy again with a goal to break the patterns i always fall into and understand why i react the way i do in certain situations. Also how i can go about my daily life and study at university with out breaking myself down completely mentally like i did in the fall semester. This is the time to finally understand myself and accept the way my brain works and find ways to work with my brain and my habits instead of against them as i have done until know. As a watcher for almost 10 years know i loved seeing you and Marcus together again!!

    What a good question Ive just turned 21 and I'm going on my first solo trip overseas for a couple of months. I've never done anything like this before completely out of my comfort zone but something's telling me that now is the time to see what is out there. Coming from a small country known as New Zealand you become comfortable with familiarity so I guess to answer your question "Courage" would be my word for my future self.

    My husband and I have decided that 2023 is “our year.” We’re both aiming to be the healthiest & happiest we’ve ever been by remembering to take care of ourselves, and to not let our current happiness be outweighed by our goals that lead to our future happiness (overworking to afford a house, cleaning up instead of spending a night with friends, etc) It’s definitely helped our relationship get stronger because we’re both helping each other be happier individuals too 🥰

    Answering these questions every vlog and reading everyone else’s replies is really introspective and wholesome so you for that! The version of myself I’m aspiring to become recently has to be one where I take things slow. Steps that I’m taking to make this work is switching to yoga & jump rope instead of gymming ..also basically taking a break from working out whenever my body needs it cos it helps me feel less burnt out and happier on most days.

    I genuinely think I'm in the life that I am happy in right now. I came from not the greatest upbringing, brought up my siblings and both parents are sadly not here anymore.
    The odds were against me, the area I grew up was against me and most probably thought I'd amount to nothing.
    That was until I met my husband at 18, we are still together now as 33 year old, have a 7yo and 12yo, house, job as a mental health practitioner (always my drean job) and im happy. I'm content and can't wait to explore the world with my own family

    It's so nostalgic seeing you and Marcus together!😊
    This year I’m focusing on reading more. I’m currently studying at University, and I read a lot of course material. I enjoyed reading growing up, so I'm finding my happy place in reading again! I'm currently on book number 16 on my to-read list. 🤓📚

    I’m in a motherhood era at the moment 🥰 I have a 15 month old and all my focus is on him and enjoying family time while he is little. But also I’m thinking about the future, I’m currently a stay at home mum and trying to figure out what I want to do for work once this chapter is over 😊

    Clarity, clear vision in my career and setting professional boundaries.
    I think I’m trying my best, currently being made redundant and trying to find a new job, it’s so difficult where I’m from in the UK so it’s important for me to reflect on my achievements and remain positive

    I couldn’t stop smiling while watching the Video.
    When I saw videos of britisch CZcamsrs a lot, I was a teenager. Then went abroad to study abroad, met my first love, with whom I was for 8 years, broke up and now am in a new relationship.
    It’s so nice to watch “all” of you, who I have loved watching on CZcams is in a new chapter! I felt, that I am the only one, who is still not having a family and so on, comparing with “you guys” and my real friends.
    But everything happens for a reason, so I love to have my own family, but will not rush because it happens when it can be 😄

    Can't believe that you've been again in the city I live and it's so warm to watch, same as Marcus and Alfie are back together again! Next version of myself - is more decisive and to reach so many goals in my career 🙏

    I’ve been waiting for this for a whilst and my answer to your question is to live in the moment more often, take myself outside, get more healthier and to smile more everyday.

  • @noweverybodyslissa
    @noweverybodyslissa Před rokem +3

    Great question and it is something I'm currently really thinking about! I'm really excited for my next/current era. Just to give you a little backstory, at the end of 2019 I had a burn-out and I started getting really bad anxiety. The pandemic was kind of my saviour, because I wouldn't have to leave the house as much and no one else was. So I didn’t really miss out on things. But now the world has opened up again (thankfully!) and I’m now 20 years old, my anxiety is starting to get better again and I have this real feeling of wanting to do stuff and going out of my comfort zone! It makes me really happy and I never felt more alive! What I do find difficult is being more authentic, being real and open to people, talking about my feelings. And also, people know me as introverted and a homebird, which I still am, but I wanna explore and try stuff out now. And sometimes I find it difficult when people don't get where it comes from or want to protect me from things. I totally get where they are coming from, I get a little scared sometimes too, but I don't want fear to control me and me regretting not doing it later…
    So what am I doing to achieve this and live fully in this era: I have a concert planned for June (Harry Styles), never been to a concert before and I'm nervous but also so freaking excited! Also I have a festival day planned for June as well, seeing The 1975 which I'm so so so excited about, takes 3 hours to drive there, but I'm going with a friend and staying there for a night, really nervous about it, but I just know it's gonna be great! I also bought a passport (I'm from the Netherlands by the way :)) because I would love to visit the UK soon. I hope I can make that work in 2023! I also would love to get back to being more creative. I love being creative and it makes me so happy, but I make myself believe that my education is more important. To a certain extent it may be, but being happy and enjoying life is so much more important. So I wanna do more things that make me truly happy and make me feel alive!
    This was a very long story, but really nice to have a good think about. Thanks for reading this! Love your content at the moment (and have always) and you really inspire me to live the life that I want and that makes me happy, no matter what! And watching you since like 2012/13, this makes me truly happy!

  • @DaveTriesToPlayGuitar

    Ive been watching since 2015 and stopped when the pandemic happened. Good to see you guys together again and it doesn't look like you guys have aged one bit.

  • @minoeschrasterhoff-vangoet3257

    I never really comment.. But I've been watching you and Zoë for at least ten years and had the pleasure of meeting you guys at the london pop up collab in Covent Garden years ago (love to see Marcus in the vid). I feel like we grew up together migrating from teens, to adults and having families of our own.
    I totally agree with you on what I want my life to be like. I want to have a slow placed family life (learning and teaching), practicing simplicity, minimalism and being mindful. I feel my priorities shifting quite a bit since being pregnant and giving birth to my daughter (4,5 months). I also want to give her a good life. So making good decisions career-wise and money-wise is also important at the minute. I do need a reset and set my goals, because I'm still getting into the rhythm of being a working mum.

  • @annejetvdam
    @annejetvdam Před rokem +1

    Such a great question! It actually made me write I think my first comment ever on your vlog, although I've been watching for almost 10 years now haha. The future version of myself would be the working phase, as I'm rounding up my masters this year. I'm actually a bit scared of going in this phase, as I'm only 21 and everyone is saying to me to enjoy the studentlife more. But I'm excited to (hopefully) have a less stressful life and just spend the weekends chilling and doing fun things with family and friends (instead of working on assignments for uni) :)

    The Era of life that I'm walking into is...clarity. I've come to see through a lot of illusions in my life (many created by my idea of how things should be based on old outdated ways of thinking/being/interacting)...but this all has me craving more clarity in my life. Clarity and confidence in my own abilities to make my own choices and live in my own way that feels good to ME. The Era of trusting myself first and foremost and BEING what I want to see out in the world.

    I think I’m heading into being focused, more organised, taking my time with things. I’m a year 1 uni student so want to make better changes to help my studies. I steered the year with organising my diary and it’s helping 😊

    As I’m in my mid-twenties, I’m moving towards travelling some more before I turn 30! I’m happy to say that my best friend and I are currently planning a trip to Costa Rica this summer 🤗 I’m hoping this trip will be the first of many over the next couple of years! Thanks for the question x

    Absolutely loved that question. My answer is: my version of myself is a confident and mindful person. I think if I’m
    Not either of these I cannot achieve anything. I have a lot of pressure this year and I really need to learn to believe in myself…
    Second thing: I did put systems in place to increase this (mostly meditation and slowing down, also wanted to go therapy) but when life gets busy they slip to the way side. I guess in future, thanks to your video, makes me realize I need to prioritize these!!

    @summoski Před rokem

    It was great to see you catch up with Marcus. An era of myself I'm working towards is a more disciplined person. Realistically haven't been much of a disciplined person but knowing that I'm not there yet is helping motivate me on getting on that journey.

  • @billieharris5332
    @billieharris5332 Před rokem +2

    The version of me that I am heading into is someone who fully embraces my independence, taking the solo travel trip, saving up for my first deposit on my own house, focusing on achieving things in my first full time job since finishing uni, taking pride in my own authentic self!

    Comfort, happiness, progression. I'm working towards my goals well. I am starting my level 3 qualification in childcare tomorrow. I feel my happiest in years after struggling with anxiety and depression. My home is becoming what we want it to be but needs more work. We have work booked in but got to get those paint brushes out!

    The next version of myself is focusing on my health before my wedding. I want to be my best self before I jump into this new chapter. It’s going to take lots of effort. I definitely feel like I lack the self motivation. I need to set a new mindset to get into the next version of myself. I love the motivational talks you give us all they help more than you know.

    so wholesome seeing you and marcus back together, I’d sell my leg for the Brit CZcams squad to all be reunited again. I’m trying to get into my fitness era. My dad has ran almost 30 half marathons and is retiring from it either this year or next and I want to be able to carry on the tradition when he gives it up. I’m not very quick and the furthest I’ve ran so far is 7k but I’m proud of my progress in the last month 🙌🏼

    I can not wait to watch this I miss this duo being together and filming. 🥰💕
    Coming back to answer your question, I think this year I’m in a focus on me, protect my peace, keep my head down and work hard era. I want so bad to own my own home and stop renting. And I’m also starting a business very soon so hopefully all goes well with that and I can save up for my dream home. That’s my only goal this year, to own a home
