Writer Statement

Writing this story was very fun and I am very excited to share it with the world. We get to go to places that are some of the best tourist attractions in the world while exploring people from different backgrounds and vastly different personalities and rationales.

I feel every person naturally feels inclined to go to new places and see more of the world, and it would truly be an experience to see all of these natural attractions of Namibia fully displayed on the big screen. It will inspire people to visit the Skeleton Coast, Namib Desert and the Fish River Canyon — locations that are truly a sight to behold. That alone is an incredible bonus on top of the compelling story itself.
