Kindness Across Borders

*Travel Documentary for The Next Challenge 


Watch the documentary HERE.

An interview-based documentary that recounts the experiences of my aunt and uncle, Laura and Tim, who spent over a year cycling around the world. Their journey provides a rich narrative of how meaningful interactions and shared generosity can foster deeper understanding and connection among people from diverse backgrounds.



My documentary and essay delve into the ripple effects of local kindness and generosity towards travellers, examining how these actions can be contagious and positively shape perceptions of various cultures. Exploring how this could bridge gaps and build trust between different countries, communities, and religions through active tourism and cultural exchange. By embracing traditions from other countries and regions such as the Blue Zones, we can learn to adopt a slower pace, patience, and kindness towards one another, thereby reducing divisions.
