Don't Night Crawl Alone: This is going to be one of those do as I say, not as I do, kind of moments. It's one thing to go out late at night in a place you call home or that you're familiar with. It's another

I have one simple question: Is Paris magical or do we simply make it that way by the expectations we have for it as a city? I've definitely experienced the magic it has to offer. I only ask this question

Let's Find Some Better Weather: I woke up to a freezing cold room and the sound of wind battering everything outside. The "sleep out" I was staying in is really just a big shed with a bed and

I wonder where this will take me: That's generally the first thought I have before heading down some unknown road, alley, street or into a forest with no path (I've done this and I don't recommend it).

Down a dark gravel road: I came to the top and slowly pulled my rental car alongside the path. It was wet, muddy, cold, foggy and pretty miserable. I have a joke with my friends that things always work

The First Thing You Notice is the Bright Colors: Every building is painted in some form of bright blue, red, yellow or green. They're not large houses, at least they don't appear to be from the outside.

Making This Video Made Me Nervous as Hell: Venice is like a big life size maze. I don't know how anyone navigated the place before the time of Google and Apple Maps. There's no straight lines, the largest

There's No Other Place Like It: Granted I haven't been to every place on earth but I've been to quite a few. More than the average person. New Zealand, Spain, The United Kingdom, Chile, Vietnam and France

I mean I didn't really have a choice. You find yourself in the middle of New Zealand for a month. I'm walking distance from the ocean. I have a tripod, a drone and a camera. I think you would have done

White Buildings, Blue Skies and Blue Oceans: It's the first thing you notice when you land on the small island of Mykonos. Practically every building is white but with doors and windows that varied in

Ok, my real name is Josh. But Jocqua tends to be the name a lot of my friends use. Back when I was knee high to a duck, my father called his father, my grandfather, to tell him the good news! The baby

The Best Country on Earth: Real talk, I'm not sure it gets much better than Italy. I'm an American and I've traveled to twenty plus different countries. I LOVE my country. Nothing beats home. But Italy
