Directed by Gavin Wong
Welcome to Story of My Life. Throughout the past 3 years I've been across the globe, creating visual images in hopes to spark the inner adventure spirit of people like you. My fellow viewers - or more like a family to me, I should say. Started with a GoPro in hand never in my craziest dreams that one day Travel Film would turn into my source of income - that someone out there would actually appreciate my style of work.
