Travel Videos by RV Mendoza
I make short-form videos about the places I visit and what happens along the way, whether I’m explaining what a pasta class taught me about Naples or how an airport benefit made me smug.
For brand work, I build the video around something specific I can show or react to. The destination or service becomes part of what happens on camera.
The work
What I make
In Naples, I explained how to avoid a €100 airport taxi. At a Dominican resort, breakfast and an unfamiliar punching bag led to entirely different videos.
I can work with destinations, hotels, airlines, restaurants, attractions, booking services, and travel benefits when they have a clear role in the video.

I made these while visiting Naples. The trip gave me material about airport taxis, food, language, wine, and the city’s underground tunnels.

Life at the resort
I made these during a family resort trip. Breakfast, the gym, and a coconut on the beach each became their own video.
