About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world making travel videos for www.overlander.tv

ABOUT ME

I make travel videos where ever I visit.

The philosophy of what I do is that I believe, wherever I go, I will find good people willing to show me their town. I hope to film the whole world.

I'm independent, self funded, make some pocket money off youtube adsense.

Yes it is a crazy dream but I want to try it.

Looking for passionate people to feature in a video tour of their town. See www.overlander.tv for more detailsI have been known to feature couchsurfers in my videos :)San Francisco - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqaa62NwDiYSingapore - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrG3c9v0NogManila - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7Y4LgheN60Brunei - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnvLNipT7JMBarcelona - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1_WgN-1ouIGranada - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMdeBviSO4IAuckland - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkGISDTLFF4Sevilla - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJfxywQGW0wHue - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwQpQvLSUeAHanoi - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfaCxsoRuGQWellington - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czualOcMr3MSuch a great way to get passionate locals to promote their home towns :)

PHILOSOPHY

The more I see
The less I know
About all the things I thought were wrong or right
& carved in stone
So, don't ask me about
War, Religion, or God
Love, Sex, or Death
Because....
Everybody knows what's going wrong with the world
But I don't even know what's going on in myself.
(Song - Slow Emotion Replay - The The)
