It took me 12 years to become Travel Video Creator
I started making videos when I was 12 years old and never stopped running around with a camera in my hand since then.
My passion for traveling and discovering new places made me realize how beautiful this world is and that we all should capture it! The unfortunate thing is that sometimes you don’t really know what your passion is or how to follow your dreams.
Don’t worry, one day you’ll figure it out. I figured it out after 12 freaking years.
Becoming a travel video creator is a process that takes a lot of time and doesn’t happen over night. It’s like a big puzzle and step by step you’ll see what the big picture is all about.
I knew that I wanted to become a filmmaker when I was in high school. So I applied for a film school, got rejected and entered the world of business and sales instead. An industry that made me feel miserable, but save. I earned money and knew that I’d always get a job. So what was my problem?
“If you don’t do what you love, you have two choices: Change what you do or change what you love.”
And believe me, to change what you love is very very hard. But I tried. And it made me feel the worst I ever felt in my life. Doing something you don’t love changed me to a person that was unhappy with life, unmotivated to do anything and tired. All. The. Time.
I had to quit my job. Move away from Germany. Leave everything behind me. And just concentrate on myself. And finally do what I love. Even if that means that I have to take that road alone.
Where this journey will take me? I don’t know. Nobody knows where they will end up.
But if we risk nothing, then we risk everything. So let’s go on adventures out there and let’s create content that makes us remember our life.
If we never try, we’ll never know.
