video diaries
Oddly enough, it has been just under a year that I was exploring Japan - taking in the sights, sounds and atmosphere.
This 2:56 video summarises my experience of Japanese culture, its people, well preserved traditions and natural landscape this country has to offer.
I hope you enjoy!
A little snippet of Sydney where I spent it frolicking and feasting throughout what many people think is Australia's capital. Enjoy!
Japan has an incredible culinary landscape that is as diverse as the cities themselves. I hope you enjoy this compilation from my most recent trip to Osaka, Tokyo, Kobe, Hakone and Kyoto. Song credits: Shugo Tokumaru - Katachi.
Japan has an incredible culinary landscape that is as diverse as the cities themselves. As we travelled throughout the Kanto, Chubu and Kansai regions we were swept up in the glorious food that Japan has to offer. I hope you enjoy this compilation from my most recent trip to Osaka, Tokyo, Kobe, Hakone, Himeji and Kyoto.
Switzerland is magic. Music by BenSounds - Memories.
Switzerland is magical with its crystal clear waters that look as if they would all but vanish if you were to reach out to touch them, alps covered in ice, snow and other greeneries... and on some occasions, water that ebbs and flows.
You can't help but think of how the houses in Swiss towns resemble charming pictures from fairy tales. The air is crisp and fresh, with each gulp breathing new life into city lungs as the mind is awash with blues and greens. Granted, it's not quite Austria but believe me - the hills were worthy of a frolicking among.
Switzerland is magic in the Spring.
Finally after somewhat mastering my new video editing software, I have pulled together my footage from my week in Paris. It is certainly the city of lights, the city of love and the city of the pastries. Okay, perhaps the last one isn't its official title but it very well should be. You may need to change the setting quality to 720hd to really enjoy the scenery of Paris and its surrounds. More travel diaries will be rolling in soon.
I've been working my way slowly through the huge backlog of Japan videos and photos over the past few months. I'm now known in small circles as the "Worst Blogger of All Time". I do have to admit that I have been a bit sad to come to the end of my Japan video compilation and it's been one of the things that have delayed my posting of it. It's been such a pleasure to re-live some of it through all of the footage while I've been wrapped up in my bed sheets, light and music blaring from Premiere at night.
I found myself yearning for that excitement of stepping off the plane and onto new and curious soil. The first 24 hours of giddy pleasures, the pointing and marveling. Not to mention my clumsy conversation coupled with a terrible sense of direction, as well as the transition where you slowly but surely get fully acquainted with the city.
I hope you all enjoy my Japan compilation. It is my first travel video and after compiling it together I've realised there were so many other parts I wanted to include or should have recorded... (I'll keep those ideas in mind for when I travel to KL, Singapore, Dubai and Europe).
Unfortunately I had to limit my footage. Fortunately for you that means you aren't spending fifteen minutes watching me struggle with putting coins into a vending machine or of me accidentally leaving the GoPro Hero on record as I sat on a wall in Nara swinging my legs back and forth for a good seven minutes...
Do enjoy!
