Welcome to traveling, filming, and van life! No day ever goes as planned - and that's the beauty of it.

1. Didnt expect this to be the video 2. Didnt expect to cry to this video

[@karlnovel]

Loved the idea of this video! And I am a fan of the mirrored drone footage haha

[@vicktoriousng7948]

I see it as the courage to see the truth and the clarity of living the moment. It an inward journey instead of an forward one.

[@aitoralvarez1212]

The footage and the dialogue really caught my attention, specially combined with the low end noise in the background. Felt like it was building up to something intense.

Man you’ve content is top notch. Keep at it! You have greatness on the horizon!

[@dylan.thissen]

Goddamn. Well this unexpectedly hit a little hard. My long term partner broke up with me just about a month ago and I’m obviously still struggling too. It’s shit but it’s life. Hopefully it’s the motivation and the drive to keep on bettering yourself and being the best you can. I wish you all the best in life and new opportunities and relationships will arise. Stay true to yourself, sincerely, a stranger who enjoys your videos.

not appreciating and missing out on the beauty and life around you because it isn't what you wanted. needed the reminder.

[@WorldWideWub]

Life is way more interesting once you give yourself over to the serendipitous nature of The Universe. She doesn't point, She guides. She lays opportunities in front of you, but ultimately it's your decision whether to take Her up on them.

Expectations are terrible travel companions. Glad you made it out safe my brother.

You make amazing content, and I aspire to tell stories and take pictures like you. You are an amazing inspiration, and have made me look at things differently. I will look for new compositions and concepts that I otherwise wouldn’t have. Really observing your art motivates me to want to make more of my own. My time will come, but until then, I’m gonna just have to surrender to the road :)

Hey Cody, I'm at university in England and the last three years of my life have been the exact meaning of this video. Whether it was the pandemic, meeting deadlines, being far away from family for much longer than planned, the fact that I nearly failed all of my exams last year and almost had to drop out and give up my dream completely; it's been the most stressful period of my life so far, hands down. But, in all that's happened, hindsight has really been 20/20. I'm about to graduate in 2 months and be a qualified medical professional, and now that I'm on the other side of the storm, I often think on the plethora of things and people I've met over the years that have insurmountably affected my life for the better. It was definitely quite a storm, but in all the chaos and things going wrong, there was an amazing sprint of my early 20's that I'm incredibly glad I had the pleasure of having experienced. It seemed impossible to see it then, but there was much for me to learn about myself and the world around me. Thanks for your video dude, and thank you to the storm that helped make me. - travis. “Courage isn't the absence of fear. Having courage means moving forward in the face of your fear, despite the pounding in your chest telling you to turn back.”

[@patrickrostker6693]

Really honest, great points. I like the attitude, cheers

[@slifeofkat]

Thanks for the amazing content and glad you were safe from the snowstorm!

[@SathyaPeacock]

Thanks for making this Cody 👊🏽

[@AyeMinAFS]

This is an awesome lesson and its so cool how this story came together or your realization of how this story could come together. I have so much footage where I shot and felt like it didn't come out they way I wanted and shelved it away. Makes me wonder if I go through it again with new eyes I might be able to piece the story that the circumstances had given me. Great video Cody!

[@rickyzagalo]

I really like the learning you get and share. Great video

[@jillkelly8215]

the message was still muy poderoso cody... I'm sure it still took a lot to make this vid anyway! thank you universe!

[@unboxedphotography]

It was not a mistake to not be out there capturing the blizzard in dicey conditions. You were wise to take your own advice and let the Universe guide you to the New Mexico sun and make some really captivating and creative work! I am not usually a fan of drone shots, but the mirrored footage paired with your phone call audio was mesmerizing in its simplicity.

[@brendan.holt_]

That phone call! I wanna be like that and have friends like that!

[@Codacolor]

You will. I believe in you!

[@brendan.holt_]

💪 thanks mate! Keep up the good work!
