for the first time in AGES, i genuinely had an out-of-body experience watching those....fantastic

i'm going to watch those every now and then to remind myself there's a world outside the window and i just have to get up and explore it...

thank you to everyone that can inspire people in this way, most especially thanks from me

Wow, I too am impressed, Im only on day 30 of my trip but it definately gets lonely sometimes! But watching stuff like that makes me appreciate what Im doing but also heavily inspires me to get out of the cities Im in and go explore the less explored, take the road less traveled.

But Im also wondering, what inspired everyone else in their travel trips? For me one huge inspiration to get out the door was my sister, she did a big trip before me, and her pictures were incredible, now here I am on the other side of the world!

I can't explain fully the emotions I felt while watching each of those videos/slideshows. I am in awe of the power of those pieces. I live out my days in a cubicle (aka a prison with no bars) and I hunger so greatly to get out and explore.

My wife and I plan on doing small burst trips, one monthers, and these vids give me tremendous inspiration to get out there and do it.

Thank you to the souls who made such inspiring work. And for that matter, thanks to all, who (as said above) I have the pleasure of living vicariously through you!!

Cheers!

Wow. Both are so...so...so...uh....wow.

I've had to take a brief break from the hostels and plane flights, as World travel does indeed become a little more complicated as one settles farther into their careers, professional life, home ownership (the current snag--a couple of home depot projects that just couldn't wait), etc....but I've kept it up,traveling farther now than when I was in college.

These videos are truly inspiring....I'll be watching them again...and again....

The movie is beautiful!

I have some inspirational photos of my own, in a more static form, not a movie - but hope you will like them as well...

Yep, I liked Dan's 'Never be Complete' video so much I met him when he came to New York and I liked the 'Would you?' video so much I started dating Erik Smile

The boat... well, that was the boat we hitched a ride on from Vanuatu to Australia. First on a different yacht from New Zealand to Vanuatu (13 days). Then on that boat heading towards Australia, after ten days of nothing but the ocean and the sky, just at the moment when Australian land showed up on the horizon, the beautiful rainbow came up... Smile

It's all part of our hitchhiking journey around the world.
