HELLO THERE!
Who is that guy behind the camera and company?
My name is Simon Kallin and I’m a 28 year old photo/videographer from Stockholm, Sweden. Everything started the summer of 2017 when I got the message that I could sell my apartment that i had bought 2 years earlier, on a floor drawing. Quick after I bought the apartment, my interests started to change and I got fascinated by a different type of lifestyle. I had everything a regular 23 year old could’ve wanted. I had my own company, my custom build motorcycle (built by myself), a brand new mercedes (e220d -17 sedan) and a brand new apartment on the top floor. I lived a good life, so to say.
But I felt stuck. I started to walk a road that I no longer wanted to walk. I wanted more adventure in my life and meet new and interesting people from all over the world.
The idea to backpack around the world and live more like a minimalist started to sound like a perfect idea for me. I could travel and work with what I loved and still love today, creating videos. Eventually I made the big decision. I sold everything I owned to start the next chapter of my life.
The process wasn’t easy, especially selling my apartment. Two buyers changed their mind last minute which changed my plans dramatically at both occasions. But i’m glad i sticked with it. I lived out of a hand luggage of 45l and a little computer bag of 10l. I had to convert my lifestyle to be a minimalist and to be able to adapt to all situations. I’ve slept on hostels with 10 other people and on luxury hotels while recording videos for high profiled clients. I’ve met many amazing people, seen amazing places, reached far out of my comfort zone, dining with rich business people and been in some incredible projects.
One crazy thing that you might not know about me…. I skydive and believe me, it’s f**** amazing jumping out of an airplane and fall freely through the air. Why be in the airplane when you can be outside of it?
So join my adventures and see the world through my lens as I showcase humanity in motion.
See you and look forward to be hearing from you :D
