First, this trip was way back in October of 2019. Back before the world changed… Anyway…
Holy wow, this is Spain?? So I’d been to different parts of Spain on a trip about a decade earlier, but a ten-day road trip across the northern Spanish Coast just absolutely blew me away. Some areas felt like Ireland or Scotland, with rugged, rocky, cliff-filled coastlines. Other places felt like the middle of the Alps. And nowhere was crowded. It felt like an undiscovered world…
I worked on this video for months before releasing it because 1) I had waaaay too many hours of footage, and 2) I’d never really made a video like this before, so there was quite the learning curve.
It was definitely inspired a bit by Kraig Adams’ Japan supervlog, but still definitely my own thing. Highly recommend checking that one out if you haven’t seen it:
