Meteor hit!

Great video series by Michael Palin.

A must watch for travel inspiration. This is the follow up to Baraka.

Cool travel video.

Here’s a magical journey through the Sahara! The colors and landscapes are inspiring!

Great video. Makes me want to visit Nepal. I wonder if they do this somewhere in the US?

I visited the Negev Desert in Israel this winter. It’s an extraordinarily beautiful place. This
desert and semidesert region of southern Israel is referred to as al-Naqab by the Arabs and the native Bedouin population of the region.

I had a chance to visit the ancient ruins, remains of the Nabatean civilization. They controlled the trade and spice route between their capital Petra and the Gazan seaports back in 100 A.D. Here’s the best video of this region that I could find.

Parker Liautaud, now 17, became the first person to “check into” the North Pole via the location-based social networking site Foursquare in 2010. Since then he’s been tweeting and posting on Facebook about his travels. In April he will be broadcasting his next adventure to the North Pole using Ustream to beam his trip worldwide live on the web.

Here’s a new kind of adventure in New Zealand. You lower yourself 60+ meters into an underground cave and swim down a river and back to the surface.
