VIETNAM TRAVEL 2024 - HUE
Our next stop was the town of Hue, a city well known for its imperial city and mausoleums.
Our first stop was the Mausoleum of Emperor Gia Long, the first emperor of the last dynasty in Vietnam.
We rented bicycles to get around easier, and set off to explore!
Due to the weather and time of year, we had this entire place to ourselves, and took our time enjoying the peaceful scenery and beautiful tombs.
The level of detail put into the stonework and surrounding landscape was very impressive.
Side note: some of the butterflies here are absolutely massive, and beautiful to watch.
Our next stop was the abandoned water park, which ironically enough is maintained regularly for tourists to visit and explore.
Between the impressive structures and endless graffiti, this was a very unique experience.
It was eerie to see such a large area left behind for nature to take over. I wouldn't want to be caught here after dark.
Our Last stop in Hue was the imperial city, containing many more impressive structures.
While it is a less common tourist destination in Vietnam, Hue was unique and impressive, and I would certainly recommend visiting if you get the chance.
See you next time!

VIETNAM TRAVEL 2024 - HOI AN
มุมมอง 170วันที่ผ่านมา
We left Dalat in good spirits and boarded our first VIP cabin sleeper bus, which was a welcome upgrade! We arrived in Hoi An and were immediately greeted with sunny weather and a beautiful room. After a quick swim, it was time to head into town for a cooking class. We started off at the locals market, where we learned about some of the ingredients we would be using later today. Before the cooki...

The next stop in our journey is the mountain town of Dalat, parting ways with the coast for the time being This was the first experience I've had riding scooters in Vietnam, which gave us the opportunity to explore the mountainous region surrounding Dalat Our first activity was the alpine coasters leading to Datanla waterfalls.

VIETNAM TRAVEL 2024 - MUI NE
มุมมอง 11421 วันที่ผ่านมา
Leaving Ho Chi Minh city we were now hopping aboard my first sleeper bus, one of many we would encounter during this trip. While they take longer than flying, they are much more budget friendly and don't require any airport shenanigans. Arriving in Mui Ne, we were dropped off at the IHOME backpacker hostel. We spent most of our time here swimming, reading, and eating. In Mui Ne, the main attrac...

Halfway through 2024 I made the life changing decision to quit my job, put everything I owned in storage, and answer the question; is there was anything out there that can inspire me to escape the hamster wheel of life? Join me on this adventure to see the world! Our journey begins with Naomi and I traveling to Ho Chi Minh city in the south of Vietnam. The first flight is from Los Angeles to Ta...
FRENCH ALPS DAY 3 - BEUIL TO BRIANCON
มุมมอง 37หลายเดือนก่อน
After our day of heavy rain/downpour, we were ready for some good weather. The third day of our adventure did not disappoint, as we were greeted with blue skies that held for the entirety of the day. We were now properly getting into the French Alps, and we managed to cross two mountain passes in this one day alone! We had a slight detour due to road work that led us to unplanned gravel roads, ...
FRENCH ALPS DAY 4 - BRIANCON LOOP
มุมมอง 143หลายเดือนก่อน
This was the first day that we departed from our original route. Instead of pushing all the way up to Geneva, we did a loop starting and ending in Briancon, FR. This brought us through mountain passes and alpine lakes, some tight roads in Italy and unexpected gravel hairpins! This video has been reuploaded to have full 4K resolution.
FRENCH ALPS DAY 2 - GORDES TO BEUIL
มุมมอง 112หลายเดือนก่อน
On the second day of our European motorcycle adventure, we started in a small town just out of Gordes. It was raining when we started in the morning and it never really did stop, but we had the right gear and thoroughly enjoyed the roads and scenery. We kept telling ourselves that the rain made it even more dramatic/interesting, but maybe that was just to make ourselves feel better. We ended up...
FRENCH ALPS DAY 1 - BARCELONA TO GORDES

In September of 2024 I was set to embark on world travels, however beforehand my father and I decided to go on a father/son motorcycle trip. This is the first day of our French Alps European motorcycle trip. We flew in to Barcelona, picked up our bike rentals, and high-tailed it to the scenic French town of Gordes where we had some well deserved beer/rest. This has been re-uploaded from the ori...
WABDR SECTION 5-2 IN REVERSE - SPEED RUN
มุมมอง 85หลายเดือนก่อน
During the month of September 2024 my friend and I spent the better part of a week attempting to cover as much of the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route as possible. We started at the end of section 5 (out of 6) t Conconully and traversed it in reverse to the best of our abilities. We had to skip a few portions of the route due to road closures caused by forest fires, but still had a fantas...
DAY 10/11 - CARCASSONNE TO ANDORRA TO BARCELONA
มุมมอง 632 หลายเดือนก่อน
The last installment of our European motorcycle adventure brings us from the castled city of Carcassonne to the small country of Andorra, through the Pyrenees mountain range (not originally part of our route either!). This was a unique experience, the average elevation of this entire country is above 6000 feet, and what makes it especially interesting is that this country is primarily composed ...
DAY 8/9 - CANNES TO MONTPELLIER TO CARCASSONNE
มุมมอง 692 หลายเดือนก่อน
Days 8 and 9 contained large stretches of highway travel in order to get from the French Riviera to the southern France to get staged for our travels into the country of Andorra. This was not part of our original planned route, and we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves in some beautiful back country roads and deep into wine country. The stay in both destinations was very nice, and we f...

Day 7 started and ended on the French Riviera. Continuing with the theme, these views were completely different than all previous days. We passed through a few beautiful French towns and saw some of the most panoramic views of the entire trip. Definitely worth the watch!
FRENCH ALPS DAY 6 - CUNEO TO MENTON

Now at the halfway point of our trip we were finally ready for what was most likely the most technical riding day of our trip. Heading down from the Italian town of Cuneo towards the French riviera, we encountered some textbook European twisties. We put the camera on my dads bike so there is more footage of me riding than in other installments of our journey. Definitely a video worth watching u...
FRENCH ALPS DAY 5 - BRIANCON TO CUNEO
มุมมอง 1312 หลายเดือนก่อน
Day 5 of our adventure brought us through a few more mountain passes, the weather mostly held out however the road conditions ended up being precarious. We found ourselves stuck at a dead end after several miles of broken rode, as a rockslide blocked our path. This only added to the adventure, so we were stoked about that. Our final destination was the Italian town of Cuneo. This was a treat, a...
