    Hi!,

    We've uploaded a compilation of our travels from around the world. It's obviously very long at almost 30mins but we uploaded as more of a convenience than anything for showing friends and family what we saw.

    If you could provide any feedback at all it would be greatly appreciated :) We're looking forward to posting our next holidays highlights soon.



    Cheers! :)

    Hey there. Your video is very exciting, altough camera sometimes was really shaky :) Usually 'round-the-world videos are quite boring and I cant watch even a half of the video. But you did well, and I even felt like I was there, with you. Lot of emotions. Thanks.

    Thanks for the feedback! The video shake didn't seem so bad on the little camera screen but we put it on the big TV when we got home and it's shocking!! Need a camera with better stabilisation next time ;) Appreciate your feedback.

    I'm an spiring world traveler (once I'm less broke) so I love these videos :)

    Can't watch the whole thing until I get home and get some proper bandwidth but I thought the first 5 minutes were great. Really liked the fade-in from the cloud reflection on the water. What is that little town in the first shot? Only suggestion so far would maybe be a little superimposed text of what each location is, if it isn't too obtrusive.

    If you have a smaller camera, for lightweight travel I use the combination of a Gorillapod and the "washer on a string screwed into the bottom of the camera" trick for stabilization

    Adventurer here! :)
    I can't watch the video but I'll try it on a different browser.
    I'm very interested and excited at the same time.
    BTW, what camera did you used?

    Cheers :)

    The town at the start is called Hallstatt, in Austria. It was probably one of the most magical places we traveled to, definitely postcard-perfect! If you keep watching on the little sub-titled descriptions start after the first song ;) I haven't heard of the washer method, sounds ingenious though! The camera we used was a Panasonic Lumix FT4, and to be honest, we'd use it again. It copped an absolute beating - ice, snow, water, dust, falling off 4m rock cliffs, battery lasting for 4 days when we didn't have access to electricity. The pictures and panoramas it took were often better than our SLR's, but the video quality is obviously not up to a dedicated video cameras level.

    I'm having trouble playing it back at the moment too, using Google Chrome. It seems to work in IE though. I'm not sure if the problem is somehow to do with me or if it's a flash player/youtube problem.

    Cheers though anway :) And please like/share/comment if you feel like it!
