FAQ:
What equipment do you use? I have a Canon 700D, a Canon Powershot S120 and a GoPro Hero 3+ Black. I edit on my Acer 8GB RAM laptop.
How did you learn to edit? Mainly I taught myself. I downloaded Premiere Pro and began to figure out how to use it through trial and error. Eventually, and with the help of many tutorials, you start to figure out what works.
What work are you doing? Right now I am running my video blog while doing freelance web design to supplement my travelling.
How do you meet the people in your videos? Hostels, guesthouses and conversations! You meet people so easily while travelling. Just open yourself up and you will meet all sorts of amazing people.
Any more questions, please post in the comments below!
Good morning. It's 5.45 in the morning and I'm just about to jump on a boat to get a
dolphin watching. So, let's go.
Come on the boat.
Okay so, and here's why that wasn't my most favourite experience in the world. Don't get me wrong, the
dolphins were beautiful, the sunrise was beautiful and that was really nice. The only problem
was that as soon as the dolphin popped up out of the water, about 20 boats converged
on where it popped up and because they were all going so fast trying to get there really
quickly, as soon as they did get there, the dolphins went back underwater. So it was more
like hunting dolphins than it was dolphin watching. Like a sort of dolphin whack-a-mole.
But still overall it was worth it. Hopefully I've got some good footage. I haven't looked
at it yet. Now I'm going to grab some breakfast and then decide what I'm doing for the rest
of the day.
Woah. So, it's half ten now and this morning I've already been dolphin watching, had breakfast
and finished editing yesterday's video. But now I'm going to set off on day three of this
road trip around Bali. My next stop is Ahmed, a sleepy beach village further along the north
coast of Bali. But first, I'm going to take a detour.
Hello. High five. High five. Go on. Yeah. Bye bye.
Well check this out. This wasn't at all what I was looking for. I was actually heading
somewhere else. But look at this view. I'm just forgetting that I'm in the middle of
a construction site right now.
Right, Google Maps just seems to be taking me straight up. I mean, I don't know how far
up I am, but my ears just popped and it's actually getting pretty cold. So I just shoved
on my hoodie. Look at this. Way down on the beach there is where we just were in Lavina.
What? Genuinely struggling.
I'm actually in a cloud. What? I'm in the middle of a cloud right now. Crazy. Still
going up.
Right, I had to pull over. This is awesome. I had no idea that I'd be coming this way
or even that I was going up a hill. Look at that. I can barely see about ten yards
in front of me. It's a bento.
Okay, well I think I'm finally out of the hill and I've found the main road it looks
like. And I've also found this. Now this is one of the things I was heading this way to
see. There are two lakes here and there is also a temple nearby which you might recognise.
So these are the two lakes in the centre of Bali. I can't remember the two names off the
top of my head so they'll pop up now. But yeah, there's a temple, one of the most famous
temples of Bali here which I'm going to go find now.
But first, I'm hungry. So I stopped off for a quick bagso. Now bagso is basically a meatball
soup with various ingredients in. This one has egg, noodles and it's actually chicken
balls but it's really nice.
I am so confused right now. I don't know if I'm in the right place or not. I've been driving
around for about an hour and I can't seem to find this temple that I've been aiming
for. Definitely not the right place.
So finally, after about an hour and a half of searching, I found it. This is Bedegau
or Pura Dana Beratan I think. And it's one of the most iconic places in Bali. I think
it's even on the cover of the latest learning planet. And I just didn't want to leave Bali
before I came and saw it.
This is still part of the temple but there are people fishing here as well which I don't
quite understand. But that's okay, I guess. Anyway, I'm going to move on now. After this
little detour which was meant to take about half an hour has taken about three. I'm going
to hightail it to Ahmed.
It's 3.30 now and I've finally made it back to the coastal road. I've just passed through
the city of Singaraja but that's only about 10km further east than where I started this
morning. So it's still a two hour drive to Ahmed but I'm determined to make it today.
I've just been driving along for about half an hour and I haven't looked right in ages.
And then when I did, that's there.
Well this, look at that. Woah, look at that. I'm sorry about the hair but woah, this is
awesome. I think it's Mount Batur or Mount Agung. I can't remember which but yeah, amazing.
And now I'm finally going to go to Ahmed. No more distractions. Check this place out.
I've just shopped around a few places and now I have a four poster bed, a shower that
opens up into palm trees with a stone pebble floor and last but not least I have my view
of the sea and a view of Mount Agung. So how much, woah, so how much does this set me back?
No! Ah, well I'll worry about that later. So how much does this set me back? It was
meant to be £180 and I got it down to £100 for the night and yeah, seems like a pretty
good value for this, £5 for this room all together. So now I'm completely exhausted
and I'm completely starving so I'm going to leave it there but it's been a really awesome
day. Dolphin watching in the morning, got stuck in a cloud, went and saw Bedigal temple
and then on the way back got to see a great view of Mount Agung. So again, thank you for
watching and this is my life.
