The Free Solo Trailer and Making Your Own Travel Vids 8.14.18

Climber Alex Honnold is in a league of his own. A crazy, bold, unbelievable league. I watched this trailer two days ago and still can't stop thinking about it. A historic free climb of Yosemite's El Capitan. (No ropes!) The physicality, the psychology, are too much for me to comprehend. Mark your calendars. This will be an epic film.

Introducing the Explorers' Corner, A Lunatic at Large and Google Everything! 6.19.18

THE EXPLORERS' CORNER

I got into the travel industry to travel (can you believe it???). But the biggest benefit has been the people I've worked with along the way. In this new feature, The Explorers' Corner, I'm reaching out to the people in travel, photography, exploration and writing who inspire me so that you can be inspired by them as well. Up first, get to know National Geographic Photographer, journalist and soon-to-be children's book author, Kike Calvo.

SO MUCH MORE THAN A SEARCH ENGINE
Hey, Google--let me see a lifetime's worth of otherworldly sights all at once. Yes, with Google Arts & Culture Street View, you have the most iconic sites (and sights) in the world at your fingertips. Cathedrals, temples, museums, world wonders and more, from the inside, out. I'm in love. 
 
WHO I'M FOLLOWING: LUNATIC AT LARGE
With a name like @LunaticatLarge and her site, Camels & Chocolate, I was on board from the jump. Journalist and traveler Kristin Luna makes her travels fun to tag along with. For example, if this doesn't make you want to visit the Alps, I don't know what will. 
 
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:
This week's quote hurts a bit. Anthony Bourdain was a HUGE influence on me. When I was on the road scouting for an expedition, I would always ask myself, "What would Bourdain do?" I'd leave my hotel, go to a restaurant or bar where locals hung out and I'd talk to people. I always felt better about being alone on the road. And I always learned something about the world. And about myself. 

"It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn. Maybe that’s enlightenment enough - to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go." ~ Anthony Bourdain

Meet the Ocean, Learn to Pack and How Language Shapes Us - 6.5.18

HOW LANGUAGE SHAPES US
There are 196 countries in the world, but 7,000 distinct languages. And, as cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky shares in this fascinating TED Talk, language has a huge effect on our behavior. Learn from her research with an Aboriginal community in Australia (that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right for everything) and others whose language guides reasoning and actually shapes the way the brain functions.

TO ROLL OR NOT TO ROLL? HOW TO PACK A SUITCASE.
Here is the complete guide to all things packing, storing, rolling, zipping and organizing from Conde Nast Traveler. I learned a few things (packing cubes, people. Packing cubes!) and hope you do too. 
WHO I'M FOLLOWING: 
To keep my cousins and I safe in Jersey Shore waters (and maybe to remind us of our place in the world), my grandmother shares her favorite line: "That ocean's bigger than you!" It's also amazing, which is why I love getting updates from Meet the Ocean, an educational non-profit that shares the wonder of the ocean through engaging storytelling, interviews and science in podcasts and social media. 

You'll learn from ocean explorers, National Geographic photographers, naturalists, MTO Executive Director Paul North and an 11-year-old phenom correspondent, Charlotte Fisher. It's well worth meeting this organization.
