Designing my life through slow travel
Living and Making Movies Around the World
My name is Jaime Byrd. I’m an Emmy nominated filmmaker, media maker, jewelry maker, and bread maker. I am living and working around the world with my husband and film producer, Adam J. Cohen, indefinitely while creating film and documentary projects all across the globe.
Adam, and I met while we were both traveling in 1994. It was just the beginning of our crazy adventures around the world.
We backpacked through Europe, and have continued to travel to about 20 countries. I know this doesn’t sound like a lot since so many other travelers have been to more countries, but that’s because we do something called “slow travel” which keeps us grounded and “living” in one place for more then a month at a time – often even 4-6 months in one home.
We cover less ground – but we actually “see” and experience a lot more while connecting with communities.
This blog is sometimes about travel, connecting with the world, being a women, filmmaking, “living” instead of “traveling” around the globe, immersion with other cultures, food, and designing your particular life through slow travel.
