Most travellers know that learning a new language can make a holiday more fun.

It’s the international language of the skateboarding world, and a language that teens like Booker from New York know well. It has helped him to explore different places around the world and meet local people in different countries. Booker knows he’s lucky to have parents who have always travelled with him. He’s made videos of his trips since he was young. With the help of his mum, Booker has made videos that share an experience of skateboarding and surfing the the rest of the world.

Booker loves travelling and enjoys the feeling of adventure that goes with it. He doesn’t think you should travel with a lot of luggage, and says the most important thing is to feel comfortable wherever you are. His favourite place to sleep is in a hammock, even if he’s at home in New York! Of course, like the rest of us, there are some things Booker has to travel with. In his case, it’s a skateboard or surfboard, a video camera and a notebook.
