After I quit my job last year, I packed a bag, grabbed my camera and bought a one way ticket to London. 17 countries later, I compiled this time lapse of the many amazing places I came across.

Original Music: "Places and Faces" by Metaphysika Sounds. William Lam (Metaphysika Sounds) is an extremely talented musical composer whose range is barely touched in this composition he wrote specifically for the video. He's also my little brother. If you want to commission William to write music, email him at MetaphysikaSounds@gmail.com.

Please support the artist if you like the song, "Places and Faces", by buying it on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/met...

Special thanks to Dan Hirons, Joey Seich and Carol Trieu for all your help, support and patience.

To all my fellow travelers whose company made each step of the way all the more memorable and unique, I want you to know that however short an appearance you made in the video, you've left an impact far greater and long-lasting than the few seconds that each city appeared in the video.

To my family, thank you for bearing with me and worrying about my health and safety with every dodgy bus ride and new country I found myself in each day.

do you not know how to use google maps?

[Derick Willi]

Volta ao mundo? Eu só vi imagens de cinco países! Cadê o Brasil? Copacabana NÃO É na Bolívia, é no Brasil. Cadê a Holanda? A China, Austrália?

Esse vídeo não tem nada de volta ao mundo, tem imagens de países cujo quais o cara que produziu é apaixonado.

Só Marrocos e Capadócia apareceu umas 10 vezes. ¬_¬'

To those who criticize that this isn't an accurate representation of "around the world." Look at a globe! It covers quite a bit of it. "Around the world" is a circumnavigtion of the globe, not a country count. I've cirumnavigated the globe twice and think this is a lovely video.

California, Antartica, Iceland

[Anders Vaage]

This was cool :) I want to take a journey like that!

[Emily Rae]

Where is Yokohama, Japan? Absolutely stunning place )

[StockholmSam]

Cool video, but not really what I would call "around the world." Where are Canada, Mexico, Iceland, Antarctica, Alaska, Sweden/Denmark/Norway, eastern Europe? Too much is missing to warrant the title you have given it. A more appropriate title would have been "my vacation."
