My name is Alex Baldwin and I'm from Northern California. I've always wanted to continuously travel the world until I've been everywhere. Even as a six year old I loved looking at my globe and giant world map. These days it is becoming more of a reality. I also played soccer most of my life and I believe that has made a big impact on my interest in travel. Growing up my best friend was Brazilian, so I always watched the World Cup with his family; that was when my life became occupied by the sport. Ever since then it had been a dream of mine to not only attend the World Cup but to visit Brazil as well. It became a once in a lifetime experience when I was finally able to combine the two together earlier this year.

Although Nathaniel is my birth name, everyone chooses their favorite: Nathan, Nate, Nat, or Natty; so you can have your pick. I typically do freelance work for TV and film, but have also done a host of seasonal work. Last winter’s attempt at instructing in Europe didn't work out, so I came back to Colorado and taught kids at Winter Park. My travels started about 5 years ago when I studied abroad in Costa Rica. I fell in love with the beauty of the natural world and am doing my best to capture it before it’s too late. I've since traveled through North, Central, and South America, Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Southeast Asia; making it to 23 countries and 4 continents so far. The variety and adventure in meeting new cultures, people, and scenery is what pulls me away from home to discover new challenges.

Read MoreROAD TRIPPING THE CANADIAN ROCKIES
Navigating social media can sometimes feel like navigating a labyrinth of facades where nothing is ever as it seems. Some people use it to escape into the lives of others, wishing they too could live the “fabulous” lives being projected; while others use it as a tool to connect and expose themselves to new people, places, opportunities, and experiences (I'd strongly suggest against the former - it's masochistic and the quickest way to feel inferior about your own life).
Read MoreTRAVEL DOCUMENTARIES BY ANDREW GRAHAM-BROWN
My name is Andrew Graham-Brown. I'm a wildlife, travel and adventure documentary filmmaker. I was born in Canada, but brought up in England. For the past 25 years or so, I've been fortunate to make films the world over, predominantly for the BBC, Discovery Channels, PBS and National Geographic TV. How did I start this journey? Well that's a difficult question. So much of what we do in life is a direct influence of our socio-economic background, education, family and formative years/experience.
