In mid January of this year I got a call from the guys at Thermal Travel asking if I could go shoot 4 profiles, in 4 countries, in 3 weeks (by myself of course). Obviously since I don’t know how to say “no”, I said absolutely to which they replied, “Great! You’ll leave to the Galapagos in less than 48 hours. From there I somehow went to all of these places, met all of these really interesting people and built these little profiles. Croix at Thermal really wanted to push me outside of my comfort zone with these pieces. As you can tell, they’re a bit more polished than the usual drivel that you would see out of me. Challenges like these are the best though, yes I complained and there were really aggravating times while I was exporting V9 or V10 but of course in the end it was all worth it. Thank you Thermal for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to work on this project.

I would also like to thank Lucky Day for the help with the sound design. This is something I’m terrible at so I would just like to credit them and make it clear that I did not do all of this myself
