Hey...

I figure blogging is a weird thing. It's like an online diary which you crave for people to want to read. It's a strange concept but yet here I am =P

I suppose this blog will be a place where I mostly talk about...the future? hopes? dreams?
I really don't know if I am honest. I hope that I can use it as a place for me to write what I am thinking and if at all make sure that I don't end up giving up on the things I want.

So here's the thing...

I am studying to work in the film industry, I know it sounds oh so hopeful and foolish, but actually I find it to be fulfilling and plus people ALWAYS need entertaining, the one industry that doesn't fail in recessions is entertainment because people need things to keep their spirits up.
Anyway thats just boring facts, my point is I am a year into my degree and I am surrounded by people who really have no idea what they want to do with their degree. I don't know what I will do for the long term, I just know what I want to do with it now and if that changes over the years I really don't care I just want to do what keeps me happy, money or no.
Right now I want to travel and document it. Actually I always knew I would work on documentaries but since moving from my hometown and embarking on life as an adult by myself I have realised that ALL I currently want to do is travel, see the world, show the world and just focus on my passions in life. The way I figure it is that people like to watch other people who are passionate about what they are doing, it makes something so much more interesting than say watching one of those boring 'Holiday in the sun' programmes based in hotels on palm beaches.
Currently my biggest inspiration is a guy called Peter who does his own online videos called InTransit under the YouTube name pdrop. I love how he started off walking across the state that he lives in with his friends and filming it with no agenda other than the fact that he wanted to see if he could do it. See thats what I think is vital in travel vlogging, not doing it to earn but doing it because you want to. For me I want to go to places to climb and hike and kayak and just generally embrace other cultures. Filming it just seems to be the logical thing to do and in honesty if I get 10 people (who aren't related to me) watching me to see what I am doing I would be happy.

Safe to say none of these great trips across the world will be anywhere in my direct future, but I do stay hopeful that as long as I am dreaming about them they will happen. I suppose for the time being my own country is my oyster and we shall see where I go from there .
