Friday

the nomad


For some time now I've been following the Youtube channel FunforLouis. Louis comes from England, but doesn't linger there often. He spends most of his time traveling for months at a time meeting his friends from all over the world. He takes his camera with him everywhere, and makes a video every day about his day.

Despite the fact that he makes a video every single day, FunforLouis videos aren't repetitive or boring. The reason is that Louis' lifestyle is drastically different from most people. He doesn't have a nine-to-five job, a home or many belongings. Instead he makes his living off making Youtube videos, sleeps at his friends' homes or at hotels, and all his belongings fit into a suitcase. Louis is a nomad. He isn't obligated to staying anywhere and has a spontaneous life (Once he decided to go to Africa for weeks at a time five hours before getting on the plane).
At the very least his videos are nice to watch on those Sunday mornings where you aren't ready to get up yet.

Through watching FunforLouis I have seen Canada, Australia and Mexico. I have learned that you don't always have to get up knowing what is going to happen that day. The videos offer a lot of inspiration for everyone. "Peace out, enjoy life, live the adventure." is how every FunforLouis video concludes. I think that is something to remember.
