Video Description:

What is a life well-lived? That is the question I have been pondering for quite some time now, and looking back through my years of traveling, I have come to realize how lucky I was to be able to experience so much during those times, just in Southeast Asia alone.

5 years in the making, "Asia Alive" is a travel video that will take you to 9 countries (Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines, Timor Leste, Singapore, Brunei, and Indonesia) through one of the most beautiful and diverse regions in the world, Southeast Asia, to discover the true meaning of a life well-lived.

For this travel video, I'm going a different route than my usual travel videos as it will focus almost entirely on the experience of traveling in Southeast Asia, not just the locations. So, you can expect to see fewer beautiful sceneries and architecture, as you have come to expect from my travel videos, and more on the interactions with the world around me.

I hope you will find this travel video refreshing to watch, and hopefully, it will inspire you to visit Southeast Asia and live your life to the fullest.

Enjoy!

P.S. Unfortunately, there's no Vietnam footage as I lost all my footage when my bag got stolen in 2015 😖

Locations: Laos (Vientiane, Vang Vieng), Indonesia (Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Karimunjawa, Flores), Thailand (Koh Phangan, Koh Lipe, Khaosok National Park, Lampang, Phitsanulok, Kamphaeng Phet), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Borneo), Brunei, Myanmar (Bagan), Cambodia (Siem Reap), Singapore, Philippines (Legazpi, Donsol, Palawan), and Timor Leste.

Camera Gear: Sony a6500 + Sony RX100 M3 + GoPro Hero 4 Silver

Wondering what camera I am currently using? Here are all the camera gear I usually take with me when I am traveling:

Camera: Sony a7R V, the highest resolution full-frame camera out there, is my go-to camera when I travel. All of my recent photos and videos are all from this beast.
All-Around Travel Lens: Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II lens is the lens I mounted on my camera the most. The lens covers most of the ranges I need for travel from wide to telephoto. If I have to take only one lens with me on my travel, it would be this lens.
Ultra-Wide Lens: Sony 16-35mm F2.8 GM II Lnes: An ultra-wide lens I often use to shoot expansive landscapes and capture massive architecture I stumble upon while traveling.
Telephoto Lens: Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM II lens is one of the most versatile lenses to have. It is great for picking out details in landscapes and capturing wildlife when combined with the Sony FE 2x teleconverter.
Portrait Lens: Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN Lens is the most compact and lightweight 85mm F1.4 lens out there. It's sharp and produces stunning bokeh for subject separation, perfect for portraits and street photography.
Drone: DJI Mavic Mini 2, a perfect drone for those who travel light. It weighs less than 250g and smaller than an iPhone when folded and can capture 4K video as well as 12 megapixels RAW photos. More than enough for its size.
Bag: Langly Alpha Globetrotter is a camera bag I use to carry all these lenses as well as other essentials when I'm traveling.
