Nothing gets our travel toes tingling quite like watching some dreamy travel porn videos.
From jaw-dropping content to awesome editing skills, these are just a few of the new kids on the block inspiring us to turn our travel fantasies into absolute must realities…
Mike Zwijgers
Mike bought his first backpack two years ago and travelled to Thailand where a whole new world of opportunities were realised. The feeling of complete freedom and liberation that consumed him was unexplainable, and the memories and experiences from that trip were so rich.
However, he was unable to convey this to his family and friends on return, so last year when Thailand round 2 arose; Mike decided to try his luck behind the camera. Accompanied by a camera, drone and all the relevant camera accessories, Mike began to get to grips with the creative process before he set off on his travels to Thailand. Helping to curve his creativity and portray his travels, Mike’s content has the ability to capture the essence and ambience of a country in a raw way which is truly mesmerising. In under a year he’s managed to learn, capture, create, edit and inspire. Check out his work here.
Hardik Sadhwani
A writer, poet, photographer, editor and videographer, Hardik channels creativity in many different ways, namely through his cool and quirky travel montages. “I love traveling and I absolutely love shooting. I travel to make video montages for the poems I write. But travel montages stimulate me on a greater level”, he says when speaking about his recent documentation from Australia. Hardik ‘s work shows a unique stylistic take on travel videography.
Jayden Cubit
Another Asia advocate, Jayden documents his travels around the likes of Thailand and Japan as well as creating content in New Zealand and his home country, Australia. Filmmaking all began for Jayden when he started to create personal videos of himself ziplining (his primary job), which then enabled him to start playing around with editing programmes, GoPro footage etc, creating content for his ziplining company. It wasn’t long before Jayden was using the camera to convey all his travel destinations had to offer whilst expressing his creative freedom and passions through some beautiful footage.
