🏝️ About me
I’m Christian LeBlanc and in 2016, I was working as an accountant in Vancouver Canada. This 9-5 chapter was my rock bottom moment in life and I knew I needed to make a change. So I did what everyone told me not to.

I QUIT.

With $2500 to my name, I booked a 1-way ticket to Asia to try and find a way to make a career through travel and filmmaking. The problem was, I had no idea how to make a video. But I kept trying and eventually… It actually worked. The last 10+ years of my life have taken me to 100+ countries, 1000+ flights and each step of this journey was recorded and shared with you.

This is the story of an exceptionally average dude who never gave up.
