Good morning, sleepyheads.

It is day seven of trying to make it back home to America,

starting from one penny in Europe.

I started six days ago in Paris,

bused to Amsterdam, flew to London,

rode a ferry to Dublin, and now I'm here.

In a cute house, waking up to dear and the craziest view of my life,

thanks to my new best friend, Fionn.

I have just 11 euros and 60 cents left,

which should be just enough to do this.

It is early, it is really early,

but I have a flight to catch.

I bought my ticket back to America while I was in London,

And it cost a BAG.

Phyeon's gonna take me to the airport, bless his soul.

For the record, I paid him 10 euro yesterday.

Technically, I paid him back,

but I feel like he's over delivered.

Yeah, maybe just a little bit.

Yeah, that's a possibility.

Mm-hmm, for sure.

So I'm gonna get going, but first, morning routine.

I made my bed, got a good brushing,

a good brush, a little bit of deodorant,

and we're ready to go, baby.

Morning!

How are we?

Good.

You ready?

Let's go.

I made a rumble.

Ireland.

That was sick.

Where are we going?

Circle K.

For what?

A breakfast roll.

I've got Irish delicacy.

Come on.

I'm getting the full Irish experience.

Circle K.

Nice.

Please get a breakfast roll.

I'm from America.

I can kinda hear it, yeah.

I'm gonna try to get a petition going in America to get these.

Cheers, Maria.

Thank you.

Thank you, Pion.

Pion is spoiling me left and right.

Sorry.

He said you're spoiling me.

Spoiling you, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's called a what?

Breakfast roll.

Watch this.

Dude, this is insane.

That is Ireland mmm that's good to the airport to the airport life is good it's too good airport

thank you bro thank you for having me too

love you i'm going to america i'm going to put you through the security scanner don't be scared

what are you doing running away That was actually really fast.

Hey guys, I'm in the Ireland airport.

Honestly guys, I'm going to soak up this last game plan.

Because this is my last one.

Possibly ever.

Hi.

So here's how we're going to complete this challenge.

Step one, buy a little coffee.

I'm not going to be able to do this unless I'm caffeinated.

Step two, board this plane.

It's an international flight with complimentary food and beverages.

That's what I call...

Sorry.

Hashtag cost efficient.

And I'm so socially uncomfortable right now.

And step three, as long as I get through US customs,

I will successfully complete this challenge.

So I just gotta act natural.

I am literally a US citizen.

That's pretty much it.

That's, I mean, honestly, I pretty much only did this game plan for fun because it's pretty straightforward.

Just wanted to do one more, so...

Guess I'll go get started.

Can we just play the music one more time, just real quick?

Game plan.

Sick.

I'm getting emotional, I'm getting emotional.

No, it's fine.

I'm fine.

I need a taste of Ireland.

That's what I need.

Can I get a latte with Irish cream?

You don't have any Irish cream?

What is that?

100

Is Irish cream like just creamer?

101

Or is that alcohol?

102

Oh no, no, I don't want to eat alcohol.

103

Just like cream.

104

Awesome, I got a tin.

105

Cheers.

106

Thank you.

107

Cheers, brother.

108

Thank you.

109

Have a good one.

110

Dude, I asked for Irish cream and that boy tried putting alcohol in my coffee.

111

I'm talking about that stuff that tastes like the inside of an Oreo.

112

That's what it is in America.

113

Hey, technically I'm going to Canada too during this series.

114

Add it to the flag list.

115

Oh yeah.

116

Ayo, window seat check.

117

Guys, I've never seen this before.

118

Look at this.

119

This is a digital window shade.

120

Your mind's gonna be blown.

121

Look at this.

122

Isn't that crazy?

123

So this is flight number one of two.

124

I guess all that's left to do is enjoy my coffee with Irish cream.

125

I'm just kidding.

126

He didn't put alcohol in it.

127

Oh, so good.

128

Can I get pasta?

129

Thank you.

130

International flights are so cool.

131

This is like a massive meal just included.

132

I mean it was very expensive to fly on this plane But how about a little meal tour?

133

Yes, we've got a nice roll vegetables.

134

We're not gonna address that brownie Can I get a sprite?

135

Yummy, thank you.

136

Sprite?

137

This is just awesome.

138

Cheers guys Little palate cleanser.

139

Bon Appetit There's something so sentimental about looking outside of an airplane window.

140

The past week has been a whirlwind.

141

It's been a blur.

142

I can't believe I went to Paris, Amsterdam, London, and Dublin.

143

I had so much fun in every city.

144

It was crazy.

145

Paris feels like a lifetime ago, but also yesterday.

146

I should write a book.

147

That was beautiful.

148

Something that really blows my mind pretty much every year that we do this.

149

Number one, it really feels like everywhere I go.

150

I find nice people.

151

I find kind people.

152

And I feel like generally the sentiment is that most humans aren't very nice.

153

And I even hear people say that certain places,

154

certain cities, certain countries are much more rude.

155

And I just don't think I believe it.

156

After crossing America, and now after going to this many European countries,

157

I'm actually very encouraged because there really is so much positivity everywhere.

158

And then on top of that,

159

these videos that we're posting,

160

I'm reading the comments, and you guys are so positive.

161

You guys have to be like the most positive subscribers in the world.

162

The comment section is literally the most wholesome thing I've ever read.

163

Whenever I started YouTube, I didn't necessarily think I had a choice in just making wholesome, positive content.

164

Because that's not really what you think people want.

165

It feels like the highest performing videos online most of the time are negative and toxic.

166

And I think this series just proves that that's not true, you know?

167

So I'm just so grateful to be a part of this.

168

I'm so grateful you guys are watching.

169

And the fact that we're all doing this for a good cause.

170

We've raised almost $300,000 for water.org in a week.

171

I mean...

172

That's silly.

173

That's just goofy.

174

Nothing gets you sappy like an airplane wing and a blue sky.

175

I'm pretty sure we're just over the middle of the ocean right now.

176

That's a little panic inducing.

177

I might panic if I think about that too hard.

178

Well, let's keep flying.

179

Crazy landing.

180

There it is.

181

The American flag.

182

I'm going home.

183

Do it!

184

Good dude.

185

You done this penny series?

186

Yeah, I've heard about the penny series.

187

I've got this penny, and the first step of this,

188

if it lands on heads,

189

you will be getting the great reset.

190

A $50,000 donation.

191

Are you gonna do it right now?

192

Like, you're gonna reset me if this lands on heads?

193

Yeah, if this lands on heads.

194

I mean, I've got the credit card already punched in in my laptop,

195

I'm gonna be- Here we go.

196

Hello?

197

Hello?

198

Ready?

199

Ready?

200

No!

201

No, dude you're not.

202

Break reset.

203

That's phenomenal!

204

Oh, you're done.

205

Break reset.

206

I can't believe this.

207

I just got reset.

208

PrestonPlays just reset me.

209

Well, this is a great time to thank all the donors that donated after the series ended.

210

Kian Lawley donated $5,555.

211

Kian, I love you.

212

ComicLink.com donated $5,100.

213

You guys are the best.

214

All I have left is a penny.

215

How poetic.

216

I have to get a third person shot with some epic music.

217

I just have to.

218

Three, two, one.

219

3 We made it.

220

Well, we made it to America.

221

But it wouldn't be a Penny Series without a finish line.

222

It just doesn't make sense without a finish line.

223

I have- Oh, I need that.

224

Yes, my New York friends made me a finish line.

225

That's all I know.

226

Let's go!

227

These guys are taking me to an undisclosed location in a Ford Bronco.

228

That is so American.

229

This is my dad's car.

230

Okay, just for the record.

231

We put on Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus.

232

I felt on top of the world on my way to this artificial finish line.

233

Seven days ago, I found myself in Paris,

234

France with one penny and a crazy idea to try to make it back home starting with one cent.

235

One thing the Penny series always teaches me is that true joy is not found in things like money or stuff.

236

True joy is found in love.

237

And croissants.

238

I am fully convinced that humans are just adorable.

239

And animals.

240

But come on, look at Coco, dude.

241

During this adventure, we raised over $400,000 to help provide people access to safe water.

242

And after traveling over 4,000 miles to make it home,

243

our journey is almost over.

244

They just dropped me off here.

245

They're walking that way.

246

Preston then approached me and told me to run.

247

Just run.

248

This is so fun.

249

I love finish lines.

250

Sorry, excuse us.

251

Got a penny.

252

I don't see it.

253

Oh, I see it!

254

No way.

255

It's so artificial, but it feels so real.

256

Here we go!

257

This is so cool!

258

I wouldn't trade this past week for the world.

259

But one thing is for sure.

260

Yes!

261

It feels good to be home.

262

One, two, three.

263

One cent travel club!

264

That's right baby.

265

Get a close up.

266

Well guys, that's it.

267

Thanks so much for coming on this adventure with me.

268

This was so fun, so crazy.

269

I've got some limited edition Penny Series merch.

270

First time ever?

271

Once in Travel Club, baby.

272

Who is that guy?

273

Penny Man.

274

275

276

Some say on a clear night,

277

278

you might see this guy.

279

You guys see him?

280

If you guys wanted to support me personally,

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
