😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love her photos. She’s a great photographer. Terrible terrible speaker.
Awesome but please don’t swallow so much xD
Very annoying to here her swallow and smack lips. Had to stop watching . Good luck!!
Amazing
She's a delightful young lady & what she is talking about is interesting, but the VERY LOUD "swallow / lip smack" sounds really take away from the presentation, it's incredibly distracting & kinda icky-sounding. I thought it was just me but someone else mentioned it below.
It's not entirely her fault, either, I mean everyone has to swallow, but whoever prepped her for the stage, most notably the placement of her microphone should be FIRED. Did nobody do a sound check or rehearsal with her to make sure everything sounded okay?? I'm really sorry to have to say it, but I am really enjoying these Nat Geo Lives so far, but the others all have those clip to the ear mikes, so you don't hear anything but the sound coming directly out of the mouth. It's really difficult to listen to. 🙁
Hi, NatGeo. How can I become a National Geographic Young Explorer? moisesberttges@gmail.com

This is awesome!
This clip is a misophonia suffer's nightmare. WARNING.
My big dream job. ♥️
The mic is not in a good place, other then that Its a good presentation.
How do you become a Adventure Photografe for National Geographic? It's a big dream of mine .
Hello to all the good people here!
I am looking for an alternative living lifestyle, your advice on how to go about it would be highly appreciated!
I
am a 34 year old Indian born guy. I am a college drop out, and I have
no degree. I am an unmarried hobo. The only thing I own is my backpack
some clothes a laptop and a smartphone. Eddie is my nomad name, my birth
name is something else.
I am sick of parties and don't like going
out to meet people here, you are always judged based on your clothes,
your car and the house you own. The only way you can get respect here is
by pretending to be rich. I find it very disgusting as I don't like to
pretend to be rich or behave like some other person, it feels so fake
and uncomfortable.
I am single and unlucky not to find love for the
above mentioned reason. Girls wont look at you if you don't own a fancy
car here.
My dream is to become a landscape photographer go to
Iceland and capture the Northern lights. I am not sure whether my dream
is realistic or whether it is achievable or do I even have the talent to
achieve it. But, the prospects of going to Iceland and capturing the
landscape their surely excites me.
I have some photography and
videography skills, I can also speak decent English. I don't mind
picking up a new skill if that is going to help me, I have good grasping
power and can pick up things quickly. I am seeking some kind of
alternative living option.
I have some savings, can you advice me how to fulfill my dream and find the love of my life?
She is gorgeous. So as the locations.
WoW! You're incredible and deserve nothing but the best – a True inspiration to everyone – especially myself! Absolutely loved your story!
Dream job ^.^
i love nat geo talk!!!
I loved your stories and photos. they provided really good I sight what it's like to be a Nat Geo photographer. I've always been I treated in becoming one once I got I to photography. also,. I actually didn't notice anything with gulping or swallowing until I read the comments 🙂
Lip smacking…. TTSSS! makes it hard to watch. Stopped before 5 minutes
boring all this blah blah blah , this type of media products are starting to be boring , first why not check the meaning of adventure ????……….https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/adventure ,
Great speech and may I know your Instagram profile name
love!
Dreams can happen!
This a cute video, people who work in these areas all the time and handle this for months if not years just deal with these situations. I have done it for years as a northern engineer and now a commercial pilot. Its not hard if you don't complain about you're experience and try to love life up north. This is cute though
My dream job! I love anything having to do with Photography!
