Soul Crew Goes to South America

Right after graduating high school last summer, I took a trip with my Soul Crew friends Sully Blake and Evan Furbeyre and our families to South America. We went to the Galapagos Islands first before heading down to Peru to see Machu Picchu. We filmed a ton throughout the trip but because of school and a bunch of other things (mainly the fact that I am incredibly lazy), I wasn't able to finish the video until now.

I also wasn't able to bring a tripod on the trip, so all footage is handheld. And yes, we suck at voiceovers, but we've never really done them before and we needed some kind of narration.

Regardless, hope you guys enjoy it!

And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
-TS Eliot

Just after graduating high school in June 2010, we took a trip to South America with our families.

We began in Quito, Ecuador, before heading over to the Galápagos Islands. On the Galápagos we went from island to island, seeing something new on each. From there we flew to Cusco. We drove from Cusco to the Sacred Valley and took a train to the bottom of the Inca trail to Machu Picchu. After spending a night at Machu Picchu, we made our way back to Cusco, where we stayed for a night before heading home the next day.

We would like to thank our guides for making it such a memorable trip, and we would like to thank our families for making the trip happen in the first place.

Due to weight restrictions on the trip, I was unable to bring a tripod. All footage is handheld.

Thanks guys!

I go to Loyola Marymount University in LA.

And to be honest I can't remember where we stayed in Cusco. We didn't spend much time there, I think one or two nights before heading to the Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu and then one more night after that before going to Lima.
