I want to be real for a moment… Traveling and telling stories was my childhood dream. Never did I ever imagine it would actually become my profession however. But here I am! The reality is better and more rich of an experience than I could’ve ever imagined, but it’s also incredibly demanding and taxing. Many late nights planning, editing, writing and recording VO’s in the strangest of places… Not to mention difficult travel conditions. As you can see in these images, often taken at 2-3am while trying to keep up with all the work, I look terribly exhausted… It really takes a toll on my mind and body. I come home feeling emotionally drained from the amount of socializing, overwhelmed by my personal life being in standstill whenever I leave and a mountain of messages to answer with people thinking I’m ignoring them. I’m not going to pretend like I hit the nail on the head every single time, HOWEVER, I feel incredibly proud of the diverse recent streak of travel stories we created from all over the world. I really felt that we created work that fully embodies the level that I am at as a filmmaker. Although I know I have lots of improvements and ways I will continue to grow, I am super proud of this moment. I feel very well surrounded by my immensely talented team of editors/creators @thomasdajer @campeddle @jaxullivan @tristankevitch and my friends joining me @cory.s.martin @erictabach and local friends around the world who enabled these experiences. Then of course, my Habibi @ammar and life partner on this journey always supporting me wherever I chose to go 💙 At this point, I really feel that we are producing some of the most honest and moving work on YouTube. Giving ourselves that compliment is not something I’d easily do but I do really believe that and I’m proud to say it. Much of the platform has been kidnapped by an algorithm obsession and meaningless clickbait that I really wanted @yestheory to stand-out by creating something different with deeper purpose. I’m about to take a 3-week break to recharge my batteries, reflect and spend time with old friends and family. See you in September, sending you all lots of love ✌️
First trip to West Africa 🌍 my 60th country and an enlightening experience as we searched to understand the funerals of Ghana 🇬🇭 Complex, filled with grief but also dance, music and celebration my friend Svenja from @storiesmatter told me a year ago about the “happiest funerals in the world”. One year later we arrived to find their story. Within a day we ended up in a Royal Funeral of a “Queen Mother”. I felt welcomed despite the sensitive circumstances and sensed a genuine desire to connect from so many locals. Many asking if we could stay friends. The first picture is with a local Chief named Moro. At first I was intimidated from far away by the leader energy he was commanding. I eventually went up to shake his hand and he turned out to be immensely kind and eager to tell me about his culture. We spoke for about 30 minutes and danced. Grateful that the stories continue to find us and to be given the ability to do what I do. As we approach the end of 2022 and the thought of turning 30 next year is very much present in my mind, I’ve felt myself sinking more and more into a reflective headspace. Many lessons to digest, deeply transformative moments to absorb and a new decade to define. But for now, a few more adventures left for 2022. Towards Central Africa we go… Can you guess which country? 🤲 📸 by @storiesmatter

Summer ‘22 ✌️ Feeling blessed by the friends and family I got to spend my summer with in my two favorite places, Sweden 🇸🇪 and France 🇫🇷 aka Home 🙂
I love traveling deep. Going far where most people don’t go. That’s where the gems of humanity hide, the stories kept far away from the rest of the world and humans who still live in their small villages never connected to the global world. In our recent story we travel to Belarus to explore this unusually country, and go deep to go look for local Babushkas (grandmas) and made some amazing new friends along the way. Grateful to go look truly in all corners of the world and get to document these stories for my grandchildren to see one day 🙏
