Welcome to Volume 2 of Best Travel Videos Around! (Check out Volume 1 here if you missed it.) This is where I’ll share some of my favorite video finds from the past month or two. Because there’s just something about watching a great video that is so satisfying. And there […]
Spey Casting As the ferry pulled out of Horseshoe Bay in a thick shroud of fog I knew we were close to what I had been looking forward to for a year. Heading to Vancouver Island is always special for me because of its unique vibe, beautiful scenery and phenomenal […]
My alarm goes off. It’s 1:30am here in Tilicho Base Camp, and it’s time to get up for what’s sure to be one of the most memorable mornings of our lives. I packed a small bag full of camera gear last night, and I’m ready to go. Danielle, my girlfriend […]
Similar to my post and video about the floating islands of Lake Titicaca, I didn’t get a chance to see the Amazon during my RTW trip in 2009, so when I got my schedule for my trip a few months ago with Cox & Kings, I was excited to get a […]
On my previous trip through Peru during my RTW trip in 2009, I did not have a chance to go to Lake Titicaca at all, so I was particularly looking forward to it in my return trip a few months ago with Cox & Kings. Lake Titicaca is the largest […]
Colca Canyon is twice as deep as the Grand Canyon. Back on my round-the-world trip from 2008-10, I realized this in the first person, when I hiked down to the bottom of it, spent the night, then was considering the prospect of hiking back up the next morning when the […]
Trains hold a special fascination for me. They are easily my favorite mode of transportation, which probably is clear to anyone that followed my Lisbon to Saigon train journey a few years ago. On my recent two-week trip in Peru, I finally got to take my first train in South […]
The main purpose of my trip to Peru was to shoot a series of videos about the some of the many sights in that great country. I have teased out a few clips in the last few weeks on my Facebook Page as I took the time to do all the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I loved walking around the old city in Damascus. I’ll certainly be doing a series of photo essays about it in the near future, mainly focusing on the huge, huge souk (market) there. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCcWr7IWn_U The souk seems to go on forever. There are alleys this way and that and you […]
