It’s Day 16 of his 80 DAYS series, and Paul G Roberts is in the magical city of Venice.
In “MY VENICE”, I’m going to share some personal Venice experiences, and stories from my visits to La Serenissima, the fabled city of Venice.
The best Hotels, my favourite restaurants and places to eat, and some of the hidden attractions that are not on the regular Tourist maps. With its untouched architectural heritage, spectacular Grand Canal and unmatched romantic vibes, there’s no questioning why people from all over the world flock here in the masses.
Venice is one of the most magical places on the planet. There’s this incredible renaissance feeling to the city most likely sparked by the centuries-old, unchanged buildings. There are no roads, no cars, no scooters, everything is either experienced by boat (Gondola, Vaporetto, Watertaxi, or classic Riva) You feel like you’re stepping back in time through some magical portal into a work of art, a masterpiece, when you come to Venice.
Any tourist could spend forever exploring the city’s labyrinth of islands, canals, pedestrian alleys and bridges.
The Multi-Award Winning “80DAYS” Series
In “80 DAYS”, starting from his home base of Sydney adventurer and Award winning film maker Paul G Roberts, retraces the global footsteps of Phileas Fogg, hero of Jules Verne’s most famous work, “Around the World in 80 Days”, and this time around Roberts does a deep dive on history, art and culture of the cities he visits, and he captures and records his global adventures for a new 80 Episode TV series.
Making an Award winning film is no small feat. Roberts has no less than 16 Best picture wins from major international Film festivals. Usually it takes a great story, a team of highly skilled artisans. Writers, producers, a great director, editors, actors and usually a pile of money. And even then it takes a decent amount of luck and a lot of dedication for it to realise the promise it had on paper.
There are a million things that can derail the project. The degree of difficulty is amplified many times over when it has ambitions to become a series. But for one person to attempt to all of this solo, is for most experts just insanity. In this new 80 episode solo Round the World Series, Award winning filmmaker and travel lover Paul G Roberts is the writer, director, producer, star, presenter, camera / sound / lighting / drone cam operator.
