I love this kind of TV. As soon as you hear David Attenboroughs voice you know you're going to learn some cool shit.

[Thrik]

Yeah, all these BBC ones (Planet Earth, Life, Africa, Blue Planet) are absolutely sublime. I wouldn't say I'm massively into nature documentaries, but these ones just make them so epic and awe-inspiring. Plus you just can't beat an Attenborough narration.

Awesome, the trailer popped up on my yt homepage as well. Can't wait.

I used to have documentary night when I was young with my parents, just with the Italian equivalent of Sir David.

Last year I watched Planet Earth 2 and Frozen Planet, and they threw my compass off... I mean I was suffering, I was feeling physical and mental pain, like my stomach would contract and I would feel super excited and sad at the same time: they make me feel to just travel, like I always wanted to do. Seriously questioning to drop everything, job, girlfriend... to just go.

I'm intending to drop it all and travel, but I'm planning for it 2 years in advance so I actually make the most of my time and money. It's a serious effort, at least for what I'm planning. That being said, who knows what I'll do in 2 years lol.

Would that be a hiatus/sabbatical or thinking of a career change as well. I mean I know you do great photography and taking the jump for something like this could open the door of a completely new career in that.

PS: when you do drop me a message, maybe I can come and help you carry your camera equipment ?

Too early to say, but my plan was to always go on a crazy adventure before I hit 35, shit starts getting real then. Lets just say if I do it, I'll be finding ways to potentially further my hobby, but making games is fun.

There's a new trailer

That's my Sunday nights sorted for a few weeks!

Yep! It was beautiful too!

Really enjoyed the first episode. And now anticipating the second. I also need to get back to Planet Earth II as I got distracted after a few episodes.

The second aired last Sunday so it should be on iPlayer now! Still need to watch it myself, waiting for the girlfriend to have a night off work. 

I've been listening to the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. It's so good!
