Update: (10.22.23) Europe 2022 just received the best feature award for the 2023 SISFA Film Festival!
Last year some friends and I decided that we wanted to go on a trip out of the country. I had just quit my job and was full time in the freelance world, so I decided that now would be the perfect time for me to leave. The plan was to visit 8 Countries in 32 days. Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Ireland, United Kingdom. I took my camera and filmed everything we encountered, the good the bad, everything. I came back with over 1TB of footage and spend the next 5 months editing it.
This film shows the raw nature of what it is like to travel with a backpack, what its like to travel on a budget and what really happens out there. When i set out to make this documentary it was extremely important to me that It was authentic and transparent.
I feel like travel is one of this things that is so highly praised online that people don’t know how they actually feel about it. Traveling isn’t just sunsets and cities. Often it’s also waiting at the train station all day, or getting heatstroke from lack of air conditioning.
when we travel we expect that it’s more magical than our real life. But we miss to realize that that traveling is still real life. There will be moments of peace and stress, moments of excitement and Loneliness.
Spending 35 days on the road in Europe was difficult. Like really difficult. I must have felt every emotion on this trip. wonder, anxiousness, Joy, Depression, humility, frustration, acceptance, loneliness, excitement, peace. I felt it all.
But Why did I feel these things? it's because traveling doesn’t stop real life, it actually adds a much more opportunity for inconveniences. But along with the inconveniences comes opportunity for new things.
when you travel you are forced to experience so many new things.
New things are opportunities to learn, and new things give us the ability to compare, which results in us thinking differently, and ultimately growing.
