College Students Hope to Document Semester at Sea in Weekly Web Series, "2 Guys, 1 Boat, and an Adventure of a Lifetime"
Belmont Students and CPA Alumni Use Kickstarter and Support of Family and Friends to Back Project
FRANKLIN, Tenn., May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Belmont students and Christ Presbyterian Academy Alumni Riley Hutchins and Dan Franquemont are not your average 19-year-olds getting ready for a study abroad trip. In fact, they have much higher hopes than only receiving college credit or making foreign friends. The two college students are embarking on a journey to spend a semester at sea and visit seven different countries, hoping to document every moment and stream a weekly web series of their adventures for online viewers.
"We as humans have more in common than we have differences, but we want to do more than just show you," says Hutchins. "We want to take you along in our journey."
Their hopeful weekly web series is titled "2 Guys, 1 Boat, and an Adventure of a Lifetime." Currently, the two students are still collecting the funding needed to develop the 16-week series. They have developed a campaign on the successful fundraising platform Kickstarter.
"We will be filming the people we meet, places we go, things we eat, and all the culture we soak in -- hoping to come back changed and with a better appreciation for these countries and people," says Riley Hutchins. Riley and Dan will be accompanied by a group of students traveling to Spain, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Morocco, and Portugal.
The project has 14 days remaining to reach the $5,000 goal. Donations can be made in various increment levels -- anywhere from $5 to $500 and more.
