The Humanity.TV team arrives in Mumbai to kick off our HD world travel series. My cofounder, Kerrin Sheldon, and I set off from New York City to take on the adventure of a lifetime to meet fascinating people all over SE Asia.
A bit of background on the project: we were acquainted at travel startup Wanderfly and realized there was a need for short-form HD travel videos to complement all the new travel tech sites there are out there. We saw this as an opportunity to travel the world, uncover fascinating stories, and film some amazing videos to share with the travel community.
A couple months of planning later, we launched Humanity.TV and chose SE Asia as the location for our inaugural season. So far, SE Asia has proven as affordable as we imagined and there certainly are no shortage of interesting characters, starting with Belle, a karate champion who teaches at-risk Indian girls to defend themselves against sex traffickers. Hope you enjoy the first video from our series!
We'll soon be heading to Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and then southward toward Indonesia. If you know of any interesting people from your travels, let me know!
