Karl's You Tube
HK2NY is the series that really kicked off his YouTube channel. In 2013 he quit his job and went travelling round the world for 9 months with his best friend James. Their journey took Them through 20 countries in 4 continents and the footage was edited into an 11 episode series.
Karl being nspired by such series as ‘The Long Way Round’ and ‘By Any Means’ his idea was to fully capture the backpacking experience, but instead of having a massive film crew with them, they had just one camera and did it all on their own.
