Shooting 35mm Film in Kreuzberg - Film February - Part 3 (Snippet 33)

We walked around the hill, double exposed the trees, chased after the birds, and had tea with friends.

Canon A-1 with Kodak UltraMax 400 Color Negative Film and a 50mm lens.

Dizzy with Excitement - We're so close to getting our hands on a van, I can almost taste it! I feel like this photo captures our current mood so perfectly. . . Since Lou passed his driving test yesterday(!!!!) he was able to go pick up his actual license this morning, which means we can finally start shopping for our van. For months, we've been scouring through different websites, searching for the perfect van. And we've definitely had our eyes set on a few gems, just hoping they didn't get bought up while we waited for Lou's American drivers license to transfer over (a many month process). So today, finally with a German license in hand, we were able to send off emails to a few people we found selling our dream van. Please, please keep your fingers crossed they get back to us soon and that it hasn't been sold. We're really hoping to make the big purchase before the month is over!! . . . #pursuitofportraits #moodyports #portraitpage #portraitgames #agameoftones #wildweroam #portraitstream #vegangirl
(Part One) We are changing our name from Plant Based Traveler to Wild We Roam. I know I said our exciting news was going to be coming next week, but we just couldn’t wait any longer to share this with you! . At first we thought that it would be best to make this grand transition when we got our van. We would come back to YouTube after our hiatus from weekly videos, begin our Second Act, and it would be this exciting reveal of a new brand as we drive off into the next chapter of our life. But life isn’t always this clean and straightforward. German bureaucracy has held us captive as we we try to get Lou’s license sorted (fingers crossed this happens next week!) and our original goal to leave Berlin by May 19 has not only come and gone, but we don’t even have a van yet 😭 So basically what we’re trying to say is that life is messy and you can’t wait to START living until everything is perfect because life is happening right in this very moment, whether you are present for it or not. . In fact, the camping trip we took last week was just the catalyst we needed to realize that we couldn’t keep waiting to launch the next chapter of our lives. What if the van isn’t done until Christmas? Are we not going to create videos until then? Hold off on spending the time in nature we crave? Lou decided he’d had enough with all the waiting and surprised me with bus tickets to Berchtesgaden--little did he know at the time it would end up becoming the best trip of our lives, and the place where we created Wild We Roam. . So you might be wondering what Wild We Roam means, and why even need to change our name at all… Check out Part Two in our next post for more!
(Part Two) When we started hiking down the mountain that morning after watching the sunrise around 5am, we felt like totally different people from who we were the day before. Something about that climb, that cold rain, getting lost in the fog… Something in us changed--or rather, something “clicked” which had been building inside us for a while. For the past few months now, Lou and I had this nagging feeling that Plant Based Traveler just wasn’t the right fit for us any longer. We wanted a new name that made us feel alive, inspired us to get out of our comfort zone, and offered us a fresh start--we wanted to start this next adventurous chapter with a feeling of total freedom--and so, on top of that mountain, “Wild We Roam” was born! . When we started Plant Based Traveler together back in 2014 we had just left NYC, ditched our jobs with big dreams to pursue our creative passions here in Berlin. With no clue about social media, YouTube, filming, photography, we decided to buy a camera and see what we could create. The last 3 years have been an incredible journey that has taught us so much about ourselves and each other and we feel so lucky to have had you with us along for the ride. . While it is a bit scary to be leaving Plant Based Traveler behind, we both are even more excited about what the future holds as we embrace our new name - Wild We Roam. The name change is really a symbolic moment for us - a constant reminder to embody the adventurous lifestyle we've been dreaming of. We’ve promised each other that this will always be a space for us to pursue our many creative endeavours and we can’t wait to share some new projects with you soon including new videos next week, a brand new website next month and so much more. . We want you to know how grateful we are for your support of us as Plant Based Traveler over the last few years and can’t wait to hear what your reactions as we grow into our new name of Wild We Roam.
