              Another Creative Way To Document A Vacation

              For most people, their first attraction to a camera probably occurred during a vacation or a traveling trip. If you’ve ever had to sit through someone else’s photo album of a trip, you know how excruciating and boring it can become. Well Rick Mereki and his friends Tim and Andrew decided to make a fun video documentary that proved to be anything but boring and mundane. This one minute clip shows what a little creativity can do to make a trip spanning over 40 days, 11 countries, and 38,000 miles as exciting for us as it was for them. We’ve featured other creative vacation videos in the past, and our goal is always to keep you guys inspired to do something interesting during every opportunity. Let’s just hope Mr. Lee Morris is taking this to heart while in Italy :)

                That is absolutely inspiring and creative. This seems like a trip of a lifetime, one he’ll probably share for the rest of his life.
