I am currently on the road, hitchhiking around the world shooting a documentary, or twelve. I am hoping to inspire those around me through unorthodox, and sometimes extreme methods of living. I have decided that in order to accurately measure and also to enable the best possible footage I will not spend a single dollar on food, shelter, transportation or anything personal for the next full year, and only sustain on what has been generously and spontaneously provided for me.
After witnessing enough negative behaviour in complete strangers to complete strangers to last a lifetime, I have decided to set out to accomplish many things. Prove the world is not such a nasty place full of untrustworthy people, open the minds of society that anything is possible, and that a new friend or opportunity is just a conversation away. When common courtesy seems to have evaded us in 2010, I am setting out in search of the good in the human race. Where have all the good people gone?
I will use my social skills, resourceful thinking and life experiences to accomplish a highly controversial move; travel the globe on less than $500 and breakdown every sterotype and false perception. Its going to be tough sometimes, but I know that what is waiting for me will rock the socks off of everyone reading this. Just wait 'til you see the videos.....

FIRST POST!

Hey everybody...well here it is; the inaugural post!

After a busy treeplanting summer in Ontario and BC, Im leaving the comforts of the great north, eh, and heading to somewhere slightly warmer.
Welcome to the blog, this is going to be the outlet to let everyone know whats going on in my world. Im going to keep it updated daily(hopefully) with my events, thoughts, photos and videos. Im going well equipped, so get ready to see some smiles in HD!

In just a few short days, I will be arriving in Kigali, Rwanda for the next 6 months. I have been taken on under contract by a major NGO to work as the Project Manager of a new hospital being built in collaboration with the Rwandan government, as well as several other third party firms funding the project. I will also be shooting a documentary and continuing my photojournalism. Not to forget my driving passion; FOOOOOOTBALL! I will be establishing my own NGO while Im there, playing football(soccer you fool) and teaching English.

While Im waiting for my flight to Kigali, Im actually relaxing at a Blue Mountain in Collingwood, Ontario before I take off. My flight is still unconfirmed, but it looks like 3 days max. Im slightly nervous, but more excited than anything.

Well thats all for now, but keep checking because theres so much to come...
I promise this is going to be your favourite new site.

Cheers

nathan
