ETF Announces First Panelist For Video Creation Panel
Bangkok, Thailand, May 02, 2026 / TRAVELINDEX / The Extraordinary Travel Festival (ETF), the world’s premier gathering for extreme travelers and global explorers, is proud to announce the first confirmed panelist for its Video Content Creation Panel at ETF III, taking place October 22–25, 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand. Additional panelists will be announced in the future.
The Video Content Creation Panel will bring together some of the most influential voices in travel media to discuss the art, craft, and strategy of building a global audience through video — from storytelling and production to monetization, platform dynamics, and the future of travel content.
Panelist: Mike Boisvert — The Skate Nomad
Mike Boisvert, known online as The Skate Nomad, is a Canadian content creator who has built a passionate global following by doing something refreshingly simple: traveling the world solo with a skateboard and a camera. His mission is to document skateboarding culture across every corner of the planet.
Since launching his channel in 2022, Boisvert has amassed over 153,000 YouTube subscribers and more than 37 million video views and over 118,000 followers on his Instagram channel, documenting skate spots, skate parks, and skate communities from destination to destination. His work captures not just the skating, but the culture, people, and stories that surround it — making him one of the most distinctive travel-meets-action-sports voices in digital media today.
Boisvert’s content is a natural fit for ETF III, where the intersection of adventure, storytelling, and independent exploration is at the heart of everything.
“The Video Content Creation Panel reflects something we care deeply about at ETF — the stories that come from the road,” says ETF co-founder Ric Gazarian. “Mike is out there every day proving that a board, a backpack, and a camera can take you anywhere. He is connecting with locals like the Ethiopian Skate Girls for genuine interactions. Together, they represent exactly the kind of creators who belong in this conversation.”
