Peter Santenello started over his life at 40 while traveling in Ukraine. He had some money saved up, a failed startup, and no direction on his content whatsoever. But regardless he started telling stories by himself in a foreign land.

He kept making videos in different countries and eventually decided to return to America in 2020.

Since then he has made videos on communities all over the country by traveling to their neighborhoods and has gained over a million subscribers on YouTube. Some of his most exceptional work are his stories covering Hasidic Jews, the Amish community, and the Projects in New York.
