When we first started off nomading around together almost two years ago, we really didn’t want our journey to be about anything other than our own discovery. Our website used to be primarily for friends and family to keep up with us. But over time, more and more folks have been peaking in on us, and apparently being inspired by what we’re doing.
We think it’s come time to allow our journey to include an element of purpose and story beyond ourselves, and to more pro-actively share our journey with whoever wants to read it. Which is part of the reason why we’ve revamped our website.
We’ve toyed around with a few ideas, but the one that is resonating loudest to us is interviewing locals as we pass through areas about the local things they love. We intend to produce segments of less than 2 or 3 minutes featuring people we meet talking and sharing. This gives us a new perspective in looking at the places we go to, and will hopefully share with others some of the wonderful things we encounter on the road.
Our first set of interviews featuring Sacramento are ready, thanks to some quick ramp up with learning iMovie today while parked under Morro Rock along Central California’s coast.
Our dear friends Sean Catanese and Lindsay Brown agreed to kick off this project by being our first victims..err… subjects.
First up, Sean tells us about the Spanish American War Memorial in Capitol Park:
And then Lindsay tells us about the Magnolia Trees in Capitol Park:
After two successful filmings, Lindsay was excited to also show us a cool urban forest in downtown Sacramento:
We hope you enjoy this new project, and we look forward to the content forthcoming. If you’re like to be included in this project, just give us a holler if you see we’ll be anywhere near you.
Great job in website design and execution! You have some interesting interviewees.. like linzi and Sean. I will bookmark it and follow you along.. Pat
wow- we look great! And you did a fabulous job of editing, I am very impressed! I will soon be diverting my pitiful blog traffic to your website. This will be an awesome project for two very sweet and interesting nomads!
PS I love the magical ending
What a wonderful idea! A great way to find the little hidden things that tour books/sites don’t tell you about. If you’re ever near Abilene, TX I’m sure I could find something interesting to talk about! 🙂
That’s a good idea. There’s far too many things to see if you get back toward St. Pete, but if you ever do, I’ll give you a shout. Well-done video editing.
