My Day "Living the Dream" from renan ozturk on Vimeo.
My quintessential day here in Boulder Colorado.
For most of the last 6 years I've been a traveling vagabond following my passion for rock climbing. This existence involved sleeping outside in wild places, hitching rides, having very little belongings, a drained bank account and some gourmet dumpster diving for food. I climbed everyday and lived my dream.
These days I'm a domesticated man. By most people's standards I'm still living in the ghetto with my 1988 beater car and trailer-like house. Each day I find time to escape to the nearby rock spires and bag a summit. Making this creative short I realized that I still live my dream everyday...!

I saw this short film at the 2011 Adventure Film Festival in Asheville, North Carolina and it was very inspirational for me even though I never plan to do any free solo climbing. Whether you are a climber or not, Renan Ozturk is an incredible adventure film maker that I highly recommend everyone check out nonetheless. Another great film done by him has got me planning future trips to Chad: http://vimeo.com/23393522
I don’t know man, that desert in Chad didn’t look too hospitable.
