"Just seen you on Sunrise and I think well done. I wish I had the time and guts to do something like this. But watching you has inspired me to create my own bucketlist.

"Well done Sebastian..!
After major spinal surgery and learning to walk again, I too have changed my outlook on life. I am now walking marathons and raising money for big-hearted charities.
Well done and good luck..!"
"Hey Seb,
I just saw your interview on Sunrise and was immediately shaken out of my hum drum mood that has been hanging around for a few days now.
My question is this;
Can I come with you on one of your adventures?????
I love adventure, living life and making the most of every day, I just saw this as an opportunity to shake myself up a bit and live today at its best.
Anyway, blessings to you for what you are doing and making the rest of the population think about what they are achieving. Your life would be a very exciting one, but the best bit is you created that excitement yourself.
But not too sure about Mongolia, but hey, you only live once!!!!
If surfing is on your list I can help with that.
Cheers"

"Hey Seb, you have a surf safari on your list. I live in Denmark WA and surfing is my passion - I travel the world every year doing just that for 1 whole month. Do you need help with one? I can take you on a safari in WA. or I am in indo this august to do the same if you want to join me I'll take you to all the good out of the way spots.

"Seb reading about your long awaited adventure
Meeting with James left me very moved. He must have felt a glimmer of hope in His darkened world .
if only talking to someone from the outside world .and expressed His feelings and hopes someone to talk to on equal terms hopefully left Him feeling unabandoned and worthy, and it was great of you to do what you did. Im proud of you Seb. Keep up the good work and keep us updated. Save travel and have fun on the way.
Love you always. Mummsie"

"Yo Seb
Bro it all looks good dude. looks like your having a great time, fair play with the week silence, man that must be tricky,. After reading you blogs it inspired me to try something different, so i tried rolling a smoke with my head on the table and one handed, i'll add that i was actully sober at this point. Gotta say it was very tough and near on impossible, so i cheated and used two hands, but with my head still on the table!!! not quite in the same league as your one week silence whilst trying to work and chat up women, so i can imagine your task is a super tough one., apparently there is a site regarding boar (river waves) surfing, there is one on the river seven in somerset/bristol if your keen when you hit the UK.
Good luck with your list dude, keep the good stuff coming

"Dear Seb
Thanks for your fantastic story about your visit to James and for the right description of his character! I recognized him exactly as he is in his letters to me! I am Tess (J-Loc calls me Sunshine!) I write him each week, send him money sometimes and send stamps for him to his mom. By the way, I don't live in Italy (as you wrote in your report), but in The Netherlands!
I am (as I understand now one of many!!) J-Locs pen pal since a couple of years. My drive to write is that I oppose the Death Penalty. It is murder organized by the Government. My compassion is with persons on DR, who except perhaps criminals, are also human beings. They are not threatened like that!
In J-Locs case I believe justice is NOT done! I am glad you came to the same conclusion.
By the way, I read your hundred-things-list! You will be very busy the coming years and I look forwards to your book!!
I wish you all the best!"

"Hi Seb,
I hope this e-mail finds you well! My name is Nadine. I'm the girl who lived in Elisabeth's NYC room before her. My old roommate, Ashley, had briefly mentioned you when I spoke with her a couple weeks ago. She said "Elisabeth's friend is staying with us. You'd love him. He has a blog- 100 Things that he wants to do before he's 30. (Although I think it's just 100 Things you want to do... no set time-line..correct?) Anyways, she sent me your blog and I just had the opportunity to look at it. Very cool! And Ashley was right, I think you're fabulous already!
I don't usually e-mail strangers (although talking to strangers is a daily activity of mine), but I figured you have the type of personality who would welcome a random e-mail. And guess what? You've inspired me to create my own list! (Just like the fortune teller told you. I just read that entry... how fun!) Except I think I'm going to tweak my list to 50 Things to do Before I'm 30. (I turn 25 next month... do you think that's too ambitious?) So far I have Volunteer in an orphanage in Africa, Visit Thailand (or should I be more specific - perhaps visit a Buddhist Temple in Thailand), Become Fluent in Arabic, Public a Book... That's what I've come up with in the past 2 minutes. Only 46 more to go...Hmm.
Anyways, where have your travels taken you right now?
Lots of stranger love & good vibes,
Nadine"
"Hi Sebastian,
You definately caught my interest yesturday. I'm the girl from the 6
train that got off at 23rd street.
I hope you don't mind my being nosy and reading your Board but I
figured that's what it was there for.
I've taken a look at your website, very interesting stuff. Very good
inspiration to a lot of people. Or at least a good way to pass time in
class.
It was great "talking/writing" with you yesturday for 5 minutes. Hehe
Good luck with completing your list!!
Anita :)"
"Hi Sebastion,
You mean with all the stuff you have done, learning to be telepathic was not
on the list? It is beyond me how I keep sending blank emails. If you do get
this, I was just writing to send much admiration for your 'lifestyle without boundaries.'
My friend Shelby stumbled upon you via the social beast facebook and showed me
your 100 things site. So few people out there actually have the balls to live out loud
and with a fierce passion for life, it was nice to see your out there doing it.
Anyhow, I saw that one of your goals was to raise money for Camp Quality. I can
donate money, but I would also like to donate my time if ever needed. I am a
graphic designer in the states, nashville to be exact, and would gladly do some
pro bono work for the cause.
Continue to kick ass and take names,

P.S. Im visiting my 85 yr old gram in FL in Oct. and convinced her and my mother to get
a tattoo with me. I don't have a list yet, but I think this is a good start :)"
"Hi Sebastian,
I am a (male) friend of James from The Netherlands. I want to say thanks
for your story on him. I've been corresponding with James for years now
(since January 2005), but I never had a chance to meet him. Your story
gave me a vivid impression of how it is to meet him face to face. And
your thoughts on him and his life-story are well balanced and caring.

I just hope my daughter and I have as much fun as you with out teaching her bad habits. lol"
