    People are hating way too much. Public speaking is hard and yeah she could use some practice but I commend her nevertheless for being brave enough to do this.

    In my 30s, currently in the process of changing careers to adventure/outdoor/wildlife photography. I want to live in my truck camper, with my cats, travelling around Canada taking photos. I feel ripped off being born a human away from what’s natural. This would he a happy medium to be able to half escape the daily grind and expectations of society. I truly feel alive when I am out in the elements, and isn’t that what life is about? Living?

  • @BonciuToma
    @BonciuToma 7 років тому +52

    Great overall story. I think any landscape/travel/adventure photographer dreams of traveling as much as possible and photograph but doesn't understands what this means. I have to admit I'm also in this category :)

    This a cute video, people who work in these areas all the time and handle this for months if not years just deal with these situations. I have done it for years as a northern engineer and now a commercial pilot. Its not hard if you don't complain about you're experience and try to love life up north. This is cute though

  • @cdnerin
    @cdnerin 6 років тому +18

    She's a delightful young lady & what she is talking about is interesting, but the VERY LOUD "swallow / lip smack" sounds really take away from the presentation, it's incredibly distracting & kinda icky-sounding. I thought it was just me but someone else mentioned it below.
    It's not entirely her fault, either, I mean everyone has to swallow, but whoever prepped her for the stage, most notably the placement of her microphone should be FIRED. Did nobody do a sound check or rehearsal with her to make sure everything sounded okay?? I'm really sorry to have to say it, but I am really enjoying these Nat Geo Lives so far, but the others all have those clip to the ear mikes, so you don't hear anything but the sound coming directly out of the mouth. It's really difficult to listen to. :(
