Seeing as this year is coming to an end I thought I would look through my Vimeo likes and YouTube favorites, and compile a list of 20 of my favorite travel videos. There are videos ranging from professional quality to ones shot on a cell phone camera. All though capture the beauty and grace of life on the move.
In no particular order:
1. A well edited short that takes an old idea and puts a new spin on it.
2. The lives of real-life Americans who have dared to live their dreams.
3. An insiders look into the life of Stuart Oates, a member of the Response Team for the international aid organization, Shelter Box.
4. Breathtaking visuals of a team trekking through Iceland's fields, glaciers, and pristine wilderness.
5. What is the difference between hopelessness and hope?
6. A man walks 4646 miles through China. Watch his hair grow as he encounters the most interesting situations.
7. A very interesting look into the people and situations living in the Coral Triange, which has one of the highest rates of biodiversity in the world.
8. Is our world becoming more connected? Or is it just drifting apart?
9. If you don't want to shed a little tear, then don't watch this short film. Winner of Vimeo's annual Best of Documentary Award this film captures the deep connections between master and dog.
10. A girl returns home after several years to visit her ailing mother. Capturing the simplicty and beauty of a family relationship this 15 minute movie is a must watch.
11. One of the best time lapse clips I have ever seen. It really drives home the meaning of America the beautiful.
12. The terrible situation taking place in South Africa with young girls.
13. How could I not include a video from the organization I'm interning with? This video from What Took You So Long is a short promo about their 1+1=11 documentary. In 2009 their traveled from Morocco to South Africa by means of only public transportation, filming non governmental organizations along the way.
14. Stories of children who live on the borders in Africa
15. What would you do if you witnessed children being sold into slavery by their parents?
16. The end of the trip from Los Angeles to the Panama Canal by only public transit. See how the entire trip wraps up and Peter's final thought on the trip.
17. Follow the lives of 5 athletes in the Pacific Northwest during their individual seasons. Filled with heartbreak and joy, you will not be able to stop watching the episodes.
18. A portrait of Howard Weamer, a man, who for the past 35 years has spent his winters in Yosemite's back country. One of the best shot short stories I've seen.
19. Who can resit the cutest faces from Uganda?
20. What happens every 8 minutes? What can be done to stop the over taking of resources in Congo?
