Travel videos galore on one 'cool' site

If you love world travel but can't afford the plane ticket - don't despair. You can become a virtual tourist by logging on to www.tripfilms.com and watching any of around 7000 short videos by both amateur and professional travel film producers on virtually any destination in the world. I've slowly been uploading my sizeable travel video collection on it...check them out by getting on the site and typing 'travelwithren' in the search box on the top right-hand corner. I'll be uploading more videos on that site in the weeks to come. I'll also be shooting new material in a variety of destinations (both in Australia and overseas) over the next few months. They'll all be posted as soon as I get around to editing the countless raw scenes into a watchable movie.
