Tweet I have one overwhelming memory of my week in Copenhagen: bicycles. There are bikes everywhere. Yes, I have been to Amsterdam, but for some reason (I don’t know the exact statistics), I think Copenhagen just feels more “bikey.” I spent about a week in Copenhagen a few months ago, as spring attempted repeatedly to [...]

Amazing Travel-ish Videos — the Space Episode
Tweet As a new part of my newsletter every month, I decided to add a section of links to various posts, stories, videos and other stuff that I have found on the internet in the last month that will hopefully be interesting to you. The feedback has been very positive about it and I realized [...]
Trans-Manchurian Video for the Ultimate Train Challenge
Tweet I wanted to post this first on the Ultimate Train Challenge website, so I did — on this video post of the Trans-Manchurian — but I figured I would put it up over here also. It is my first video effort. More of the story on the link through… and a link there to [...]

VIdeo of the Day: Wellington Sevens
Tweet One of the incredibly fun events I was able to stumble across on my trip was the Wellington Sevens Rugby Tournament. It is an international tournament of seven-man rugby teams. The great thing, aside from the action, is that almost all the fans show up in full costume. Incredible party weekend. My blogs about [...]
Border Crossing via Video
Tweet The phrase “TIA” (This is Africa) was made popular in the States by the movie “Blood Diamond,” of which, as a sidenote, I was a pretty big fan of. Check it out if you haven’t seen it. Blood Diamond movie trailers TIA basically is just a way of saying that things work, or more [...]
