Video: An Unforgettable Flight To The Highest Waterfall On Earth
It’s been a while since I checked into our “Travel Videos” group on Vimeo and — holy crap! — the group’s closing in on 1,000 members and home to 3,811 videos as of today. Check the group page out now for some great videos and true travel inspiration. Anyway, this week I thought we’d take a look […]
Seeing Chicago From 103 Stories — Standing On Only A Piece Of Glass
I can’t say I’m a big travel gimmick fan. There’s just too much awesomeness in the world to see to waste time looking at the world’s largest frying pan or meandering around a dinosaur park in the middle of the desert (unless you’re doing it ironically because of Pee-wee’s Big Adventure). But if I were […]
Video: Visit Opium Dens In New York (And Other Reasons To Visit NYC’s Chinatown)
Who better to let you in on the secrets of New York City’s famed Chinatown than a real-life tour guide? (A dream job in my book). From the neighborhood’s Jewish past to the seedy opium dens that you can still visit today, join host extraordinaire Rob Hollander for an insider’s look at Chinatown.
Video: In Honor Of St. Patrick’s Day
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day today, I thought I’d dust off an oldie but goodie: my Dublin travel video. In this video I basically roam around the Guiness Storehouse, but in Part Two, I head to the St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, an appropriate destination for today. It’s been a while since I took a look […]

You don’t have to be in Brazil this March 4th to have your very own Carnaval experience. The samba schools that compete for Carnaval honors in São Paulo hold open rehearsals in the months leading up to the big night.

For some incredible shots of India, as well as the best scitar this side of the Brahmaputra River, check out O.G.’s video from India, featuring one of the coolest open-air night parties I’ve ever seen at 7:15. I think I even spotted India’s version of Kanye West there? [Video by O.G./Vimeo]
Video: Lebanon — No Words Necessary
Impressive vistas, grilled meat on an open flame, shots of faces that tell a story all of their own — this stunning video of Lebanon tells centuries worth of tales without saying a word. James Lewis’ video from his travels in Lebanon better be good: a glimpse at his Vimeo page reveals he works for […]
Video: Your Trip To Thailand A La Tarantino
Wondering what to do with all that leftover B-roll video from your recent trip to Southeast Asia? Why not try splicing it together into a fun, stylized 70’s-era grindhouse flick, as the cool cat andinh did in his recent “Letters from Thailand” video as seen above. I could be wrong, but for you home filmmakers, […]
Video: Seville, Spain, And Its Crazy Connection To Phoenix
Phoenix is a city in Arizona, but it’s also the name of a band from Paris, and their song appears in the above video featuring shots from Seville, a city in Spain. Phoenix (the city) also has a lot of people of Spanish descent. See where I’m going with this? If so, please let me […]
