ORIGIN - Feel Something

We asked the people who make the travel we design possible:

chefs, guides, artists, entrepreneurs, and travelers.

What kind of travel do you want?

Our community. Their stories. ORIGIN.

 

Lately, travel industry content has felt too polished. Too disconnected from the people who actually shape the experiences we sell.

With Feel Something, I wanted to create something more honest. More human.

So I went back to the source and asked the people who actually make the travel we design possible: chefs, guides, artists, entrepreneurs, and travelers.

What kind of travel do they want?

What I heard was simple:
People want to feel something.

“To laugh together.
To spend time together without a clock ticking.
To find a bit of magic.
To have the courage to see the world differently.”

I hit the road with an incredible team of creators from WhereNext Creative.

Instead of hiring actors or models for another polished content shoot, we traveled through Colombia and sat down with real people from our community. I spent time with each of them, listening and learning, and co-wrote a short script based on what they shared. Then we recorded it together in the field, and used their own voices in the video.

The result is Feel Something, the first film in our new ORIGIN series.

It’s not a new kind of storytelling for me.

It’s a return to how I started:

Less brochure, more human. Less polished, more real.

We hope this short video makes you feel something, too.

Watch the film. Share it if you dig it.
