This past summer in Bali was everything I wanted it to be and more
It was the kind of trip that gets you enough content to post on Instagram for a whole month
So that everyone thinks you're constantly traveling the kind of trip that changes you as a person
And gets you at least 6,000 new followers. I
learned so much about myself on this trip, but there was one thing that really stood out to me and that is
You don't need a storyline to make your travels look epic
All you need is a voiceover in a soft Airy voice and with the right dramatic pauses
it'll sound
inspirational
I've learned that all you need are shots of yourself walking along the beach and a flowy outfit leading your faceless boyfriend places
Places like untouched waterfalls pristine rice fields mountains I didn't climb in blue ass water and
With the right color grading and uplifting cinematic music. I can make average looking places look totally insta worthy
I've learned that fancy hotels are only $30 a night here, but everyone thinks I'm loaded
That to get that epic hiking photo just change into a completely different outfit at the top
Wait, hannah. What are you doing?
but you can't swim here!
The best shots are the ones where you gaze and wonder your surroundings
Surroundings like waterfalls, that'll make you say. Holy shit. Look at that waterfall
I'm here to run through
Rainforest and an outfit that's not made for running and to run around third-world countries and inappropriate outfits and go swimming in the clearest
Water you've ever seen but this time in a different swimsuit and of course
we all know that it's not a travel film unless there's a surprising amount of sexually seductive movements and uncomfortably close shots with my but
I'm here to fill your feed with slow motion palm trees white sand the poolside my butt clear watered my eye
Opening for some reason and sand on my butt. Why is there always sand up my butt?
I'm not gonna show you the stress of making our flight sometime getting ripped off by your taxi driver or being severely
Sleep-deprived because that's not desirable
Basically, I'm here to show you how amazing my life is but not how you could do it yourself
This is a travel flex
Wow, so, this video was a bit different
I've never made a parody video before but I had a lot of fun putting it together
I've been writing the script and you filming it putting other shots together for a couple of months now, so
Yeah, I hope that you enjoy that I hope that it all paid off in the end
Obviously this whole entire video is one big joke
I'm not trying to call anyone out and not throwing shade on certain people because honestly
I don't even watch that many travel vloggers. These are just kind of little cliches and and
overuse little things that I've seen on like
Instagram and you know the kinds of like travel videos that Union lag promotes and stuff like that
these are the the jokes and the cliches that I myself am guilty of doing and
The things that Jess and I really like to joke about with my filming staff also editing
This video was very difficult for me to do because I don't really like to show that much skin, especially in
This region, but I felt like for the video it was kind of necessary
Considering the over sexualized nature of a lot of travel films, but that's topic for another video
but that's also why the American accent helped me to like
like remove myself from the video like like I'm not watching myself in this video and I'm watching some like like
Black head American chick with mashed hits he's about to get her DMS destroyed rather than it just being me
So also don't read too much into my American accent
I'm not trying to like make fun of Americans or anything like the the feel of the video is
enhanced a lot more by therefore wistful like
American accent rather than like a blocky Australian accent as this just my opinion
Also, the biggest thing in the world goes to Jess for helping me film this video
I honestly could not have done it without you. We filmed all of these shots
So so so many and we did this like holding hands like running along the beach shot
13 times and she didn't complain once I
Appreciate you so much Jess if we've got to check out Jess's YouTube channel
She has a bunch of like travel videos icon set videos and things like that. Just got a lot of great ideas
So go check out her channel
I've also made a video just kind of recently about how I really feel about like travel influences and
Instagramers and Instagram in general and how that's changing the travel game at the moment so you can go and check out that video
There I think it'll be there
Yes
and that one is a bit more pointed and
Dissect a lot of the issues that is cram causes in the travel
This video is all just a bit of fun though. So don't they're not always not mutually connected. That's not even the same
Anyway, I hope that you liked this video
