Okay. So here’s the deal: I left my bike in New Jersey with my friend Tim. Why? Because the journey continues this summer. Where? Likely Iceland, the Nordic, perhaps a stopover in Russia, Belarus, and somewhere else. I ultimately will make it to Portugal to meet up with my new friend Miguel and Portugal Motorcycle […]
Before I make my way one last time across this grand country, I head north to New York City with a stop along the way to Tim’s lake house in Northern New Jersey where I drop off the FORKS Van and take the train into Manhattan. With a few meetings lined up for later in […]
It started in San Diego in January. I just finished this weekend in Philadelphia. I’ve enjoyed living a somewhat gypsy nomad existence over the past three months joining my new friends at The Travel & Adventure Shows. Since the San Diego show I’ve been to Chicago, Dallas, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco and now […]
The WorldRider Podcasts continues to evolve and attract new and interesting guests. I’m honored for this opportunity to sit down and share with you this interview with my friend George Walther. George flew in for a few days from Cape Town, South Africa where he is currently living. George is a fellow speaker, world traveler […]
Back at the wheel of the FORKS Tour Van, I decided to head back to San Diego and ultimately the van will be shipped with Doc inside to Washington DC for the Travel & Adventure Show there. The van is getting road tested and showing that the Mercedes-Benz six-cylinder diesel purrs with little maintenance and […]
Arriving in Dallas road worn and with the Chicago salt slowly eating away and making for an unsightly FORKS Tour Van, it needed a good cleaning before facing the Dallas Fire Marshal and attendees of the Dallas Travel & Adventure Show. Slightly smaller than the show in Chicago, in Dallas I had more time to […]
Not much to report as traveling via interstate is mind-numbing and brain-dumbing, but when chasing time, it’s the best option. Yet, as I’m fond of noting, it’s always about “the places in between.” So when relegated to the traveling and following the white line tarmac—I make the time to stop, breathe and check in with […]
For those of you who haven’t followed, I’m currently “on tour” speaking and cooking up delectables at the national Travel & Adventure Shows. The FORKS Tour Van made the trek from San Diego to Chicago and at a stop in Springfield, Missouri, it got hit with a mild battering of snow—hardly the dumping that happened […]
This past weekend I attended and took the stage at my first Travel & Adventure Show. The consumer shows, targeted at those of us looking for inspiration or with an insatiable passion and curiosity for travel, new destinations, and connecting with fellow travelers and explorers, have been running in many cities across the United States […]
As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been working on a winter project that will give me yet another opportunity to share the beautiful people and places all over the world that I chronicled in my book “FORKS: A Quest for Culture, Cuisine, and Connection” to audiences throughout North America. Beginning this weekend, I will be […]
Culture. Cuisine. Connection.
