Travel Videographers Dorene Wharton and Troy Young On How Travel Can Change Your Perspective


“We just encourage small steps. Small things can lead to so many big things. There are just so many little steps that have equated to so many large things for us.” ~ Dorene Wharton

The World Domination Summit, held each summer in Portland, Oregon, is a wonderful place to meet some pretty amazing people. That’s where I met Dorene Wharton and Troy Young, my guests today. They were leading a MeetUp gathering of people interested in living and working as fulltime travelers. Down-to-earth and practical, Dorene and Troy were helping folks navigate the process of shifting from employee to self-employed while traveling.

Less than a year earlier, they had resigned from their jobs, sold virtually all of their possessions (ncluding their home in Toronto) and headed for Thailand, the first stop on their new adventure. Prior to that, Dorene had worked in advertising and marketing, and Troy in broadcast television.

As of right now, they’ve settled in Medellin, Colombia, as a base to travel the region and focus more attention on creating high-impact videos and marketing consulting for the travel industry.

Dorene and Troy talk about how travel can be the biggest accelerator for change in your life and how there’s nothing stopping you from trying something new.
