The First Burning Man Video I’ve Seen That Made Me Wish I Had Gone
I have to say, the videos and images that I’ve seen coming out of Burning Man this year haven’t exactly blown me away or helped to relieve that nagging feeling I’ve been getting since at least last year that the event has officially jumped the shark. Of course, coming from someone who has never been himself, […]
Here’s What A Road Trip From Anchorage Looks Like
Here’s a great video from Vimeo user HappyPapaya taken from his (her?) trip to Chugach State Park, the stunningly beautiful, 495,000-acre state park located just south of Anchorage, Alaska, along the coastline. The westernmost boundary of the park is in the western foothills of the Chugach Mountain Range and, amazing, is a mere seven miles […]
Baghdad Through The Eyes Of A Photographer
It’s fair to say that not many journalists know more about what life is like in Iraq more than Paulien Bakker, who has traveled to the country 15 times during the last few years to cover the country’s recent tumultuous past, as well as to document the everyday lives of the Iraqis living there. Her […]
Q&A With Dance Travel Show Host Brittany Pierce Of Rhythm Abroad
I may not be a good dancer (scratch that: I’m a terrible dancer), but I can at least appreciate the art form, as well as the role it plays in the way cultures express themselves and have identified themselves throughout the years. Of course, those that can actually dance are probably the best people to […]
Afghanistan Seen In A Whole New Light
Turn your speakers up, switch to full screen, press play and be prepared to be amazed by this breathtaking, cinematic portrait of Afghanistan — a look at the country like you’ve never seen it before. Shot by Mikai Danger Karl, the video was shot during his recent trip to the country in April, 2014, and […]
Is There Anywhere Better To Shoot Video Than Brazil?
In honor of the World Cup wrapping up this weekend, I thought I’d feature this amazing compilation travel video from Brazil (as if the seemingly never-ending parade of enviable panoramic shots of Copacabana Beach and aerial views from Christ the Redeemer that have blanketed the airwaves recently haven’t already caused every sane person who hasn’t […]
Video Travel Guide To Portland, Oregon
In this travel video tour of Portland, Oregon, I travel to Portland, one of the most unique cities in the United States. I started my trip off by hopping off a plane and then immediately hopping onto a bus. But not just any bus, a bus operated by Brewvana Brewery Tours, the mostly women-run craft […]
Spring Break In Iceland? Yes, Please
Ahhh, Iceland in March, does it get any better than that? Well, no, not really. And though Iceland may not come out on top of most lists for favorite places to jet off to for spring break, the island nation in the North Atlantic is actually an amazing place to visit any time of the […]
Brewvana And The Rise Of Portland’s Female-Run Brewery Tour Empire
When I was recently in Portland, Oregon, I had the opportunity to take a craft beer tour with Brewvana, the predominantly women-led beer tour company that features decked-out green-and-white converted school buses (Angel and Rosie), edible stomach-hardening pretzel necklaces and insight from some of the more knowledgeable female beer connoisseurs in the city (though they have […]
What’s It Like To Drop Everything And Sail The World? This Man Decided To Find Out
Life on a boat, does life get any sweeter than that? I recently came across this great short documentary about Canadian sailor/expat/dropout David Welsford called “Twenty Eight Feet: life on a little wooden boat,” which takes a look at Welsford’s decision to give up the luxuries of land in search for happiness and adventure on […]
