All of you know my love for travel. Seeing new places. Trying new foods. Meeting different people. Embracing cultures I've never encountered. To be honest, there really is no downside to it. Unless of course you consider cost and time.
Most of us aren't sitting on a pile of money, nor are we free from obligations such as family, employment, or school.
But I think thats what makes traveling so wonderful. It may come few and far between for most of us, but when it does, it's a complete system shock - leaving everything else behind. Giving you a true "escape' from normal life. That's why I endorse it so much. It's nice to just get away every once and a while.
Much like I mentioned above, time and cost are my two biggest issues. I'd love to go out and see the world. Hike the whole Appalachian Trail, camp at Machu Picchu, see Niagara Falls, touch the Great Pyramids, drink a real pilsner in Prague, but I don't know if I'll ever get the chance(s). And that is only a fraction of what I want to do. So stumbling upon the following video is refreshing. For a few reasons. First I've dabbled into this type of work (and will continue to do so when I head to Ireland). Secondly it is just wonderful to literally be able to travel the world in such a short amount of time. And last, I love how the people behind the video took such a simple concept, collecting photo's from Google Street views and stringing them together, and made a video with them (and a damn good one might I add). This is just more inspiration for my upcoming Ireland video.
So for all of you out there who haven't been on a trip in a while, just sit back and let this take you places you may not see otherwise. Consider it a temporary vacation.
