If this Video does not make you want to TRAVEL Incarcerate yourself

Taylor MilesI have been fortunate enough to have Travled Around the world twice in my life, visited 38 Countries, met amzing people, experienced what life is really about.  the point of this is not to boast or brag, but to motivate anyone, espeically the youth to GET OUT and Travel the World.  

These experiences will change your life forever.  You will learn things about yourself, and the world that you could never learn in a classroom.  Don’t make excuses just do it.   If you are out there contemplating a radical trip…don’t hesitate reach out to me and I will answer any question you may have.   Honestly one thing that can make this world a better place would be for more people to experience and recieve an education of REAL Travel.

17 Countries. 343 Days. 6237 Photographs. One incredible journey.

After I quit my job last year, I packed a bag, grabbed my camera and bought a one way ticket to London. 17 countries later, I put together this time lapse video of the many amazing places I came across.

Special thanks to Dan Hirons, Joey Seich and Carol Trieu for all your help, support and patience.

To all my fellow travelers whose company made each step of the way all the more memorable and unique, I want you to know that however short an appearance you made in the video, you’ve left an impact far greater and long-lasting than the few seconds that each city appeared in the video.

To my family, thank you for bearing with me and worrying about my health and safety with every dodgy bus ride and new country I found myself in each day.
