i must have watched that clip 5000 times and everytime it gets me....such an amazing year we had, such memories...wakes ya up to what this life is all about really!!!!

Loved, Loved, Loved it! Great Job. Watched it twice and parts 3 times. Who is the band. I really liked their music. I have visited so many of the same places except Asia. This brough back memories for me especially Australia and New Zealand. Digital cameras were rare and not very good in '98.

I'm a 60 yr young Canadian woman. My photos and now videos, including yours, bring joy to my heart. There is always the conflict between time and money to travel.. Savour the memories. I have many favourites from the great Australian Outback. I recently went to Timbuktu!!! Before I reach 70, I'll return to OZ., backpacking style go via train to Western Australia. My Mali photos are on Flickr as cdntraveller. I'll watch your other video today. Which Killers album are the songs from?

[dylanlawless]

its from the new killers album, im not sure what its called sorry. im glad my movie reminds you of your travelling, memories are so important and its great to have them on video. funny you said your from canada...im moving there in 2 days time for a year or so...me and a welsh guy i met in singapore and an australian guy i met in melbourne are moving with me also. we are moving to toronto...im not ready to stay in Ireland just yet....i have the bug :)

Very inspiring. How much did you spend? if you don' mind...

[dylanlawless]

well being perfectly honest...we intend on spending about £10,000 but due to us taking us this "flashpackers" not "backpackers" attitude I spent £50,000 and my mates both spent about £35,000. but you can do it way way cheaper...but we did 3 sky dives, 2 bungy jumps, 2 canyon swings, snow boarding 4 times on our trip...so it all adds up. plus we rented a badass 34ft RV in USA which was pricey enough. :) money well spent! :):)

Just cant pass up on being able to fly for free to so many places on this ole planet. im ready to go now. jsut one week to go. new years in Palenque, Mex. then Central america.

That's an awesome video bro! I'm going on my own flashpacking trip for a couple years starting on the 18th of March (pretty soon) and this video almost brought tears to my eyes (I'm sure you know what I mean). Check back on my account a month or so from now for travel vids after I figure out how to do video editing.

Great vid!

Thanks, I found I can borrow it out from my local library! Like Australia, the east and west are about 3000 mi apart. What I love about travelling is meeting and gaining new friends from all over the world. Good Luck on your move! Toronto has a rocking scene as you've probably already discoverd.
