New Travel Resource Unlocked - Travel Deeper Insider

Greetings from San Diego! After a successful mission into Kansas City (which was a lot nicer than I expected), I’m back home for the moment. This week I’m working on editing what may be the most controversial episode I’ve ever put out – A Day in the Life of an Adult Entertainer in Las Vegas. I have no idea how I’m going to get this on YouTube, but I gotta try. Luckily, I have a few good contacts on the backend that’ll (hopefully) help avoid being blacklisted (like my ComicCon episode was)....

Bills Fan in Chiefs Kingdom - Travel Deeper Insider

Greetings from Kansas City! You know, I really should win some kind of medal of honor for this trip. I’m crossing deep into enemy territory to serve my followers. As a diehard Buffalo Bills fan and loyal member of Bills Mafia, Kansas City is one of the last places on earth I ever thought I’d visit. The truth is, the Tourism Board of Missouri is paying me to come explore the area and document my adventures on Instagram. As part of the deal, I told them that I also wanted to experience the best...

The Key to Michelin Success - Travel Deeper Insider

Greetings from San Diego! Summer’s quickly approaching and I’m diving into some serious travel planning! As my editors and I continue to fine-tune and publish the Las Vegas Series, I’m now shifting focus to the next travel spot. Looks like a partnership with the Tourism Board of Missouri will find me eating BBQ in Kansas City next week, and then my sights are set on Cuba – a long overdue trip. The content machine pushes forward! I’m also looking into more US travel. I’ve always been curious...

From DC Hospitals To Vegas Tunnels - Travel Deeper Insider

Greetings from Sin City! I’m here for the third time in 60 days – And If I told you this same stat 10 years ago, I’d be face down in a bowl of pedialyte right now. Luckily, these trips have all been for filming purposes with minimal shenanigans between scenes. I’m here again because we got rained out on my second trip. The goal was to go inside the tunnels that run below the Strip and meet the people who call them home. 600 miles of flood control passageways run clear across the city, and...

Back From The Hospital - Travel Deeper Insider

Greetings from glorious San Diego, I just got back from my 3-month checkup at the National Institute of Health in Washington DC. The last time I was here in November, they weren’t happy with my progress and told me I needed to start treatment over again. Needless to say – I was very anxious about this visit. It’s been 11 months and 23 days since leaving the jungle – a time that’s been undeniably challenging, frustrating, and scary; yet also full of unexpected lessons. Gratitude, perspective,...

You Celebrating This Weekend? - Travel Deeper Insider

Greetings from 30,000 feet! I’m writing this week’s message on my way back to the National Institute of Health in Washington DC – hopefully for some good news. If you follow along on IG or YouTube, I’ll assume you know my health story, and I’ll save you the details. If not, you can watch the full story here. This will be my 3-month* checkup to see if I’m cleared of Leishmaniasis. I’ll give blood, then meet with an Infectious disease doctor, dermatologist, and wound care specialist. *It’s been...

Travel Deeper Insider - Work Boots

Greetings from San Diego! Can I be honest with you for a second? This video content game is a grind. I’m currently rolling out all the Calgary Stampede content, editing the Las Vegas series, fixing bugs on Facebook, planning the next trip, and filming updates for Patreon. Since last year’s setback, I've been stuck in this funky/frustrating phase of uncertainty, but now I’m finally starting to get my groove back. I’m trying to scale the stories I can share without having to actually be on the...

Travel Deeper Insider - A Stampede in Calgary

Happy Thursday from San Diego! The Stampede is coming. The Calgary Stampede that is. I’m not sure how closely you follow along, but last summer I was invited by the tourism board of Alberta, Canada to experience their biggest annual event. The Calgary Stampede is part music festival, part rodeo, part state fair, and part hedonistic spring break – Often referred to as “COWchella,” or as they call it “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth” – bit of a bold statement. Well, after we filmed...

Travel Deeper Insider - Secret Taco Mission

Happy Thursday from San Diego! I left my house at midnight on Saturday to drive two hours north to Los Angeles. My goal was to film a Day in the Life of an Iconic Street Taco family in East LA - I know, I’m still working on a shorter title, ha! They start cooking at 2am, so I wanted to get there in time to document the entire process. When I pulled up to a dark house, in a questionable neighborhood, in the middle of the night – the all-too-familiar thought of “what the hell am I doing here?”...

Travel Deeper Insider #01 - Back from Vegas

I haven’t been this nervous to send an email in a very long time – probably since pitching Brazil's Government to bankroll my wild idea of visiting every World Cup city! With that said, let me formally welcome you to Travel Deeper Insider – a weekly update from my life and travels. This means of communication is long overdue, but my dentist says I need to open up more. My goal is to share three things with you here: Behind the scenes of what I’m working on (and going through). Gems and...
