Video Clips

I started traveling as a lifestyle long before lifestyle travel was "a thing". The same goes for becoming a digital nomad, and also a vlogger. (Hell, the terms "digital nomad" and "vlog" hadn't even been invented yet). This Video Clips archive is testament to that.

See, shortly after I started traveling full-time (in 2007), I turned on the camera. With a former career in television, I figured I could put together some decent and fun videos.

I didn't really.

I mean, in the initial years, there were some okay videos, but to be honest most of them were crap - in quality, or content, or both.

I continued producing videos (thankfully of increasingly better quality) over the years, but without any regularity. Ironically, some became YouTube hits, like my video trying the Swedish delicacy/horror Surstromming, or hanging out with a kangaroo in Australia that wouldn't stop following me around (and trying to hump me).

More recently, I started up a Travel Vlog (episodes of which appear both here as well as in a dedicated category/page). Thankfully you'll see that the production value makes these video clips much more enjoyable to watch. So....please browse, and enjoy!

And please....check out my YouTube channel (which has even more videos than you'll find here), and subscribe if you like what you see!
