I am using a free open source program called Kdenlive on my Linux Mint OS. The first clip is called a hyperlapse. You take multiple photos focused on the same point while taking a few steps towards/away from it and then put it all together as a video sequence with video stabilization. The second clip is called a timelapse. Same idea as a hyperlapse but you keep your camera on a tripod in one position and have an app on your camera that can take photos in 2-3 second intervals.

Teaching in China allows me to travel here and experience a new life. There are so many foreigners here that do nothing but teach. Hell, they have been here for over 5+ years and still can't speak any Chinese even.

I agree. It is important to start. Once you start positing amateur videos of your travels, you may feel the urge to upgrade and make better videos so that you can monetize your content and learn a new skills (filming and editing).

Most people don't take advantage of where they live. I think everyone that lives in their hometown considers it “boring" because they are used to everything. If they actually saw their city from the place of a tourist, they could probably find a lot of stuff that others find interesting.
