Travel Short Films
I have been fortunate enough to travel different parts of the world, exploring the people, the food, and the variety of cultures. Out of the thousands of photos and videos I have taken, I'm trimming them down to mini docu-films. When you watch, I hope you feel like you are right there with me, experiencing what each special journey has to offer for me.
The short videos will document my time in India, Bhutan, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and more outside of SE Asia as I continue traveling. Instead of showing a ton of selfies and foods, or explaining with words how my experience was, I want to simply provide video and photos with a simple background track for viewers to enjoy and experience with me. Periodically I'll try and upload a video with just images and clips of myself with the friends I met along the way to show the social aspects of my experinces. Let me know what you think!
01
Indian and bhutan
The goal with thi 6 week backpacking trip in SE Asia was to find and meditate in a temple in the mountains. With a few day layover in Kolkata India, I flew out to Bhutan where I visited Tiger's Nest, the temple in the mountains I was seeking out.
02
Thailand
From the inexpensive yet delectable street pad thai, to the extravagant buddhist temples, the monsoon season sweaty walks, and the elephant sponge baths, Thailand is a country which offers a variety of unreal life experiences.
03
Cambodia
With the Khmer sandstone temples reigning from the 12 century CE, Siem Reap has 'Indiana Jones' written all over it. The heat, the fruit juices, the biking, and the serenity. Lost to explore with over 50 temples to chose from.
04
Vietnam Part I
Saigon or Ho Chi Minh, with my first bowl of pho I knew I was in a new home of mine. So glad that what I have considered to be my last meal, had the potential to be my every meal for the next 2 weeks. From the canonying in Dalat and the nature trekking in Nin Bình, the first leg of this trip was a great tease for the rest.
05
Vietnam Part II
Sa Pa Vietnam is a destination to spend years in and of itself, therefore deserves it's own space and time in this video series. Sa Pa is full of rice terraces and I was fortunate enough to experience a homestay with a family of the community who provided drink, food, and a night's rest. It was much needed after the great hiking session provided by our local tour guides through the biodiverse vegitation of the area.
06
Vietnam Part III
Rouding out Vietnam with a trip to the celebrated Hạlong Bay of the North. Our group had the pleasure of being led by our tour guide Duc. After landiong back on solid group I was able to have endless bowls of Northern Vietnam's style of pho, less ingredients but phenomenal broth. Truly can't go wrong with any versions of this succulent soup...any time of day.
