Hi everyone, I have some news for you!! | Hola amigos, tengo noticias para ustedes!! (Español abajo)

I am splitting my channel by languages into 3:
English: Ben encounters -> www.youtube.com/
Spanish: Benito encuentra -> www.youtube.com/
French: Benoît rencontre -> www.youtube.com/

The reason is I want to make the content easier for you to follow in your language, but not exclude anyone. Also, subtitles are a lot of work so I would like to avoid them.

So from now on, this channel will focus on traveling to places where the locals speak English. This also means there won't be Spanish anymore on this now English-focused channel. But the amazing counterpart is that I will continue traveling to Latin America on the "Benito encuentra" channel completely in Spanish!!

I will still translate some videos (with dubbing or subtitles) across the 3 channels so you can also continue discovering very different cultures.

(I will soon update the profile picture on this English channel too)

ESPAÑOL:

Estoy dividiendo mi canal por idiomas en 3:
Inglés: Ben encounters -> www.youtube.com/
Español: Benito encuentra -> www.youtube.com/
Francés: Benoît rencontre -> www.youtube.com/

La razón es que quiero que el contenido sea más fácil de seguir para usted en su idioma, pero tampoco excluir a nadie. Además, los subtítulos son mucho trabajo, así que me gustaría evitarlos.

Así que a partir de ahora, este canal se centrará en viajar a lugares donde los lugareños hablan inglés. Esto también significa que ya no habrá español en este canal ahora enfocado en inglés. Pero la contrapartida increíble es que seguiré viajando a Latinoamérica por el canal "Benito encuentra" completamente EN ESPAÑOL!! Enconces, ustedes pueden subscribir a www.youtube.com/ donde ya hay nuevo contenido!!
