Born & raised in a big city like Hong Kong, spent 4 years getting a decent degree in the UK, graduated, landed on an accounting firm just like everybody else. Prospects bright and clear..on the books at least. Yet this did not come close to the reality. Standing in front of the printer faced against four walls…he then wondered,
“Is that it?”

As Cliche as it sounded…that was how the journey began. He bought a one-way ticket to Australia and never looked back since then.

Landed in Australia with minimal money, he then started documenting his backpacker lifestyle in Australia, the fun, the struggles, basically everything with a tiny GoPro and start a Youtube Channel. A little more than a year he finally managed to save up and bought his own DSLR. He decided to take this step, turn his passion into something special and go chase his dreams - to be able to use his creation inspiring people to go leave their comfort zone, finding purposes to their existence. With an open heart and eagerness to learn, he is determined to go anywhere, achieve anything.

While this is just the beginning of GAV’s videography career, he is lucky enough to have gained traction & appreciation of his work over the internet. Most notably, he helped his first client from Silicon Valley won $10000USD by providing the Best Pitch Video for them.

Man how crazy it is to think back I just started all these exactly a year ago! Yet now it ain't the time to reflect. One Life, no time for wasted. Travelling the world before 30 has always been a dream of mine. Next destination would desirably be Africe doing animal volunteering, as I have a deep feeling on humans are just one of the million species out there YET so many of us really forget about this. And my job is to bring awareness to the fairness & treatment towards animals that have emotions too.

All this being done, not to impress anyone, but to make a little impact wherever I can, to live life while we are young, to finding purposes in life. As a content creator I'm in love with documenting using videos to storytelling, main part of it is due to I was raised by my grandma during childhood. Single parent family since 5, rarely talk to people, I suck at communicating my emotions. Lucily I found a way out.

A smile will brighten someone's day, a little help do go a long way. If you are excited to be part of something special, something beautiful, to see a bright young innocent talent flourish in his dreams..words can't express how much gratitude I have on you all. 

Keep going!
