After wandering the streets of Banos, Ecuador looking for a decent wifi connection, we finally bring you Episode 15 – one I’m so proud of and I’m stoked to show you. This one goes down in history as one of the most special nights on our travels and one I will hold dear to my heart forever. Our lanterns in Medellin experience is one that we continue to tell our friends and family even to this day.
Troy of FOGG Odyssey and I collaborated on this one, each providing our own content to each other to cover all angles. I am looking forward to projects like this in the future and keep your eyes peeled on his blog for his interpretation of the same thing. <3
Sorry I had to take a peek at it! lol Great work and hopefully this week I will get my drives back and can start editing my own video. Th vote will be on then 😉
Cool video, so well-shot and well-edited. It looks like you had a blast.
So simple and so emotional!!!
@Troy: HA! I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist. Now you have to go out of your way to create something completely different!
@Scott: Thank you! That night was so special I wanted to make sure that it came across like it.
@Punkoatl: Yay! I’m glad it came across! It was so magical.
Gorgeous video! But those big ones could be potentially dangerous no? hahaha some guy is driving down the road and suddenly is windshield is covered by a mini hot air balloon…. haha
Is this something these guys do regularly or was this a one time thing?
recontra loco,,, esperoe stes rebien,,,,
hijaaaaaa
@Cailin: So we had to add a little disclaimer at the beginning of the post… it is very illegal in Medellin to do this. They used to have thousands until a few years ago when they couldn’t contain the fires anymore. But… people still do it. Like us.
@Juank: <3 Miss your face!
What a gorgeous experience. I can imagine what it must have felt like to watch as the lanterns drift over the city. Beautiful. <3
@D: Thank you lady! <3 It was so amazing... the lighting, the people, the mood... perfect.
So the lanterns are what’s illegal! haha…it does look very nice though, but I kept thinking about airplanes…how high do they go?
Wow the last lantern is huuuuuge!!! Must have been great to see them fly away!!! I can’t wait to do this in Thailand!
An absolutely beautiful video…with more than a few safety concerns!
Guys this is awesome, I am so jealous of your video skills. Maybe I need to come back down so you can show me…
Very cool! I like that you’re doing more video… helps capture an experience like this a little better.
Pretty pretty! Looks like a whole lot of fun!
@Fede: Honestly I have no clue how high they go but I do know Troy was concerned about the planes!
I love this video! It’s cool you collaborated with T-Roy. He’s near the top of the list in terms of travel bloggers I’d like to meet up with in the future.
Tried to Tweet it, but something is down this morning… Loved this! The first part is like a dreamy opening sequence of an artsy movie. And I love the excitement when they take off!
@Sebastian: Magical is all I have to say. I can’t wait for Thailand!
@Abi: Thank you lady! No one caught fire and everything was peachy keen – a VERY good night.
@Ayngelina: Thank you! I am so proud of this one. I wish we had more situations like these that I can film and edit. I also wish people cared about video lol!
@Stephanie: I can’t help it! I was going crazy when our camera had gotten stolen because we had experienced so many amazing things.
@C&C: Thank you and it was amazing!
@Sam: I’m super stoked we got the opp to do something like this. I think more bloggers should look into it!
@Abby: <3 Muchas gracias! I'm glad it came across exactly how I wanted it to. Dreamy indeed!
