The last two weeks have been busy and full – just a few days after posting about teaching I caught the flu and had a fairly miserable three days trying to recover from it. Let me just say, it sucks being sick alone and it doubly sucks being sick in a foreign country alone. I tried to go to school and came home with a fever. Definitely learned my lesson…

Anyways, all that to say – I meant to post this last week but everything snowballed after missing half a week. So – here we go! A tour of Kendari, via my motorcycle helmet!

My fantastic parents got me a go-pro for my birthday and I am so excited to go exploring with it. I wanted to give you all a little tour of Kendari, so figured why not attach the gopro to my helmet and ride my bike through town!

A few caveats:

• I’m very sorry it is so shaky. I tried to cut out the worst parts – and will definitely learn to hold my head straighter next time I try it!
• I am very far from a professional videographer. I have little patience for video editing and struggled for several days to make this. But then I discovered that I was doing it all wrong and iMovie worked like magic and I made this video in an hour. Now that I know how to do it, I’ll try harder next time. But if you want to see a professional videographer check out my brother Spencer’s vlogs. He is in Europe studying and I am so damn impressed with his videos! See here.
• I would not advise watching this full screen unless you have a very strong tolerance for motion. Watch it small and it won’t make you sick, I hope.
• YouTube somehow compressed it and cut off the edges. Sorry. Brb while I go ask Spencer how that happened…

Hope you liked the little preview of my city! Off to the beach tomorrow! Time to take the gopro underwater 😀 😀
