Matzi Goes Wild
Hiking, Camping, Traveling, Time-lapses, Photography... 😎
This channel started in 2014 as "Flying Sucks" because I wanted to show videos from my 2010 trip: overland from Germany to Australia "without flying."
In 2019, I renamed it to "Matthias Grallert," my real name, I wanted to sound more "serious".
In 2024, I added "(I am speed)" to the name, a first attempt to make it easier to remember. Because I had a problem: Whenever people asked me, "what's your channel called?", I always had to write it down because my real name isn't that easy to pronounce or remember.
Now, in 2025, I'm changing the name to what it should have always been: something catchy with "Matzi".
"Matzi" has been my nickname since I was seven, and everyone calls me that, even my boss. So it's not a pseudonym.
"Matzi Goes Wild" fits all my content: I "literally" go wild when I go on a hike with wild camping. "Goes wild" can also be a trip to another country, a new experience, anything that feels "wild" to me.
