Railay Beach Rock Climbing & The Emerald Cave
This two-part challenge started at the famous Railay Beach, where we explored the beautiful island cliffs by climbing up them! Railay (Rai Leh Beach Thailand), is a small peninsula between the city of Krabi and Ao Nang in Thailand, and although it’s filled with tourists, the natural landscape is incredible. It was the perfect place […]
Muay Thai Training in Thailand
Part two of our Thai Fit Challenge came in the form of Muay Thai training in Thailand, with Muay Thai legend Hlukhin Wassantasit – a man who has won 10 championship belts throughout his career. Hlukhin now resides on the beautiful island of Koh Yao Noi where he trains his students at his KYN Muay Thai […]
Baby Elephants & Thailand Elephant Experience
Please excuse this brief interruption from “Travel Deeper Australia,” as I jumped over to Thailand for a 10-day #ThaiFitChallenge with Amazing Thailand, GoPro and Adidas. Each day, myself and three other Youtube compadres competed to capture the best moments from unique adventure-driven challenges such as kayaking, kickboxing and today, working at an elephant sanctuary! Above is […]
First Impressions of Sydney
The girl in front of me on the flight to Sydney leans forward and taps the women in front of her… “Excuse me miss, I think my friend kicked her thong under your seat, can you check for us?” My ears inevitably perked up, and I looked around to see if anyone else was as […]
Skiing the French Alps
Skiing the French Alps has been on the bucket list for as long as I can remember. So this past January, when I was invited by Club Med Val Thorens to experience the region, I jumped on the opportunity. From the Lyons Airport in France, I joined a group of journalists on a long, beautiful drive into Les […]
Paraty Brasil Visuals
Paraty is one of my favorite places in all of Brazil. Just a few hour bus ride from Rio de Janeiro, its the perfect combination of rich history and natural beauty. The Cobblestone streets and white-washed buildings are surrounded by turquoise water and lush green mountains. And the best way to experience the area on […]
Ireland Road Trip
Sometimes you just have to say “let’s have a random adventure.” After a travel conference in London this past November, I had a few days to spare before I needed to catch a flight back to New York. With that time, I could have easily stayed put and wandered around London, but that relentless voice inside my […]
Mt Everest Base Camp Trek – Vlog V
Today is the day! We made our way up the trail in between the Khumbu glacial moraine and the mountain walls. We picked our way through massive boulders before reaching the town of Gorak Shep where we stopped for a well earned lunch. Recharged, we made our way past the moraine wall of Khumbu Glacier; […]
Mt Everest Base Camp Trek – Vlog IV
The golden rule of acclimatizing slowly is ‘climb high, sleep low’, so that’s what we did on day seven. Just outside Dingboche is a small peak called Nangkartshang. It’s a steep climb up the ridge, but slow and steady wins the race. We looked straight at Makalu, Lhotse and Cho Oyo – three of the six […]
Mt Everest Base Camp Vlog – Part III
Easter Sunday was spent as an acclimatization day, letting our bodies adjust to the higher elevation. We spent most of the day relaxing and playing cards at the Rivendell Lodge in Deboche, before a short acclimatization trek in the afternoon. We visited the Tengboche Gompa, an important Buddhist monastery in the Khumbu region, and we were […]
