Shana and I are neck deep in planning mode for this 3 month trip we depart for next week. We will be filming a short film exploring the garbage impact of the full moon parties on Koh Phan Ngan in Thailand as part of our trip as well as some other short videos exploring art and culture through South East Asia. For the past month we have been preparing by buying lightweight film equipment and planning our journey that will take us through the Phillipines, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Borneo and Bali.
Anyone who has traveled for long periods knows how much prep work goes into it: visas, vaccinations, plane tickets, and itineraries. It’s stressful and exciting at the same time. The depart date just creeps up on you and before you know it you are boarding the airplane.
Don't Miss The Boat
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, narrow-mindedness, all foes of real understanding. Likewise, tolerance, or broad wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime" – Mark Twain

Very true, it can be stressful. Sometimes not planning too much makes a trip more adventurous. Good luck with the film. I would like to see the end product. That is quite a specific target, making things easier I would assume.
