AMAZON JUNGLE ADVENTURE CHALLENGE VLOG - EP. 1
A new travel vlog series! A couple months ago, my friend and filmmaker buddy Caspar Diederik and I decided to take on a crazy challenge together. We had finished a giant project in Germany together a few years ago, and never took that trip to celebrate the accomplishment. We decided to try something a little bit different, and sign up for a Adventure Challenge through the Amazon Rain Forest. 5 teams competed against each other for a week in the heart of the jungle. Swimming, Paddling, Hiking, Eating, every day was a new challenge. At the end, there was a winner. We started off in the little town of Leticia in Colombia, then eventually crossed the border to both Peru and Brazil. I arrived a day late to begin the challenge, as I was trying to fly from Berlin to Leticia, and there were airport strikes in Europe. I made it to join on the night of day 1, and was greeted with a hell of a welcome party. Everyone was relaxing at a shaman s hut, trying Mambe and Rape. Powdered Coca leaves, and powdered tobacco. It was INTENSE, and gave you a huge head rush. The shaman sung as well all fell asleep that night in his giant hut. It was a great first night. The challenge started on day 2 for me, and that s where the story begins. The company who ran this challenge is called Large Minority. They have a several amazing race style trips around the world. The Lanka Challenge in Sri Lanka, which teams race in Tuk Tuks around the country. The Cambo Challenge, which is a similar race around Cambodia, the Philippines Challenge, which is sailing, and the new addition was the Amazon Challenge. It was a wild experience. Like I said at the end of the video. I thrive off adventures like this. Leaping out of your comfort zone, into the mud, allows you to come back home a better, more bullet proof version of yourself. Did we win? Did we lose? Stay tuuuuuuuuned! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ♥ Friends ♥ My talented teammate, Caspar Diederik of Story Travelers, check out his films.
