VIDEO: Our Year in Travel

January 31, 2013 in RTW

1,266 videos and 11 hours of footage all wrapped up in 3-minutes.

We never claim to be vloggers which is probably why you hardly saw any videos from our travels last year. Most are short clips of random things that don’t really make sense on their own, so we didn’t bother sharing.

But now that we’re home, Gerard decided to take on this massive project and put together all those random videos to sum up our year-long adventure around the world. It wasn’t easy, but after weeks of sorting and countless hours of editing, it’s finally ready. A labor of love and a trip down memory lane. We hope you enjoy it.

    This gave me goosies. So well done! After a year of reading your posts, this is a perfect way to encapsulate it and see the smiles (or the fear) on your faces.

    Very well done! This belongs on the main page somewhere. It captures the trip as succinctly as you’d hope to. Seeing that, I wonder how vivid the memory of my trip could’ve been if I had taken the time to video it.
    I’m trusting my imagination and on balance I think I gained as much not worrying about the camera. But seeing this awesomeness makes me wonder 🙂
