    Leigh, even if you started doing something random, like exploring haunted houses, we would still watch, haha. Travel footage might be off brand, but it’s still you!

    I film all my trips and experiences outside of everyday life and make art inspired by it. I call these little videos "Postcards" because they are like postcard I can send to my friend and revisit whenever nostalgia hits :D

    “making it to the end of the video” like it all wasn’t *quality*. the trip footage, the picture-in-picture where you’re flipping through your mini sketch book, the art, your painting shirt story. loved it 💛. also loving the possibility of a bonsai painting soon

    you talked about going to portland blind and it made me think about how i moved to Portland completely blind to go to school up there. like i knew another, had never been, got my apartment p much blind, and it was such a fun experience. I had no expectations for myself or how it was gonna go, i spent my first month there going to different coffee shops and filling a sketchbook spread, i loved it. the pandemic definitely changed things for me and made it harder to get out, but seeing that you went to the oregon coast, popped into washington, and went around the rose gardens and stuff made me so happy :) I moved back home last year and this video just makes me wanna go back and experience it the pnw again

    Loving the short hair. You wear it well. Keep doing you. People do change and that's organic and natural and real. So feel confident to keep flowing with whatever is working for you. This has inspired me to leave the house more and even make travel plans. Keep it coming. Love from Australia 🦘. Rachelle x

  • @BethDooner
    @BethDooner 2 года назад +1

    I am someone who does vlog/art content and travel content - not to quite the same scale - and honestly your travel stuff still feels very 'you', just by virtue of your eye and how you choose to edit things. I do have an idea of doing a self portrait which is "me on my travel vlogs" (where I embrace the Ghibli Vibes and slower edits) to me in Vlogs (far more chaotic).
    But this was so nice to see, the wonderful friendship vibes and the slower more compositional stuff all put together. And creating art at the end of it that doesn't HAVE to be a landscape or directly from the holiday has been a big inspiration. I'll see if I can do anything like that based on my holiday.
    Anyway, look forward to seeing more of your travel stuff alongside your regular vids!
