I came across these three short videos. Not only are they great videos, but they also make me want to see more of the world, and all the great things in it. Their words… 3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage… all [...]
