Around the World in 5 Minutes of Time-Lapse Video

Okay, so we're definitely a little bit late on discovering this awesome time-lapse travel video, but trust us that it's worth a look, or a re-watch if you're all like "whatever that's so two seconds ago."

Truly this is the best way to start off a week, getting a healthy dose of creative/destination/photography/introspection inspiration.

Here's the deal: Kien Lam (user kiendlam on YouTube) quit his job and took off on a round-the-world trip, capturing it all to condense into this nearly 5-minute time-lapse video. That's 343 days, 17 countries, 19 flights, 58 buses (!!), 18 boats and 6,237 images to summarize. It's official—we definitely don't have the patience to pull off great time-lapse photography such as this, which is why it's great that we have Mr. Lam for indulgences in armchair travel.
