What does it mean to travel?

Is it to leave your home state or country?

Is it to spend a few days or weeks on the soil you have never touched before?

Is it the removal of all that ever was once you and creating a blank slate for new cultures and ideologies to brush up against?

Yes.

Nowadays, people don’t generally see the beauty of traveling. It may be too expensive. It may be too dangerous. It may even be too much effort! However, to travel independently, far from the organized groups of package tourism and the five-star hotels, allows yourself to grow as a human being.

It would be a lie to say that traveling independently won’t be rough. You must depend on your character and primal instincts to get through each day and meet your goal. You are stripped of all the comfort you have and are launched straight into the unknown with only your mind. There is no promise to perfect health, to constant potable water, to safe food, to an insect-free bed, or a gun-free encounter with bandits or police. We have experienced these and much more on our travels. But to allow these pressing situations to be the ones which define the entire voyage would be a crime.

You will meet people and witness spectacles that will redefine the word “possibility” for you. I can assure you that the new faces and rich cultures you will experience will leave you shocked. You will meet people you will miss dearly only after spending a few days with them, and the only hope you have is to stay in touch through email.

Through a mesmerizing thirty years, we traveled extensively, shot hundreds of hours of footage, and took thousands of photos. We would’ve liked to travel more often, however, somebody had to pay for these voyages, ergo FlyingMonk.

FlyingMonk emerged in 2000 as a travel documentary and travel content provider, working with various companies such as National Geographic, History Channel, CBS News, Inside Edition, Home & Garden, Lycos, WETA, and advertising agencies. FlyingMonk markets its independent documentaries through Amazon and the Public Library network in the USA and Canada.

So, we ask you to come and experience our content! Maybe even be inspired to find the spark in you to adventure into the unknown!
