In 2012, I left everything behind and embarked upon ‘a pointless journey’ hitchhiking through Europe. I had no plans, except life. When I shared my idea with others, I was told that I was crazy and at the very least, I would be robbed and abducted. I travelled nearly 23,000 km (over 14,000 miles) across 24 countries without getting abducted, molested, or robbed. Not even once.

The video is essentially 1006 photos I took of my own face. Apologies for that. Bigger apologies to all the people I ever slated for taking pictures of themselves. I have outdone you in the worst possible way.

And yes, the French flag is the wrong way round. It was the only time I used a mirror to apply face paint and my plan back-fired.

I wrote a book about this adventure. It is called The Boy Who Was Afraid of the World. It is the true story of one individual (me) who chose to walk away from a childhood of crippling anxiety and a comfortable life in order to trust in the goodness of strangers by hitchhiking across Europe. It is not an epic adventure. It is not a story about defeating fear. It’s more of a roller-coaster. It is real life and sometimes real life is big and scary. If you would like to read it, please click here.
