Video of the Week: The History of Chocolate

As a month-long initiative to amp up for the Mucho Mexico launch on September 27th, I am posting a video I edited on the history of chocolate, seeing as Mexico was it’s birthplace.

Q&A: Travel Video Soundtracks & Ethics

Q&A is a series on Nomadderwhere that uses questions posed by readers and commentators to address topics of travel, alternative lifestyle design, blogging, and other interests. You can expect to see this series one or two Saturdays a month right here on Nomadderwhere.com. To send in your questions, contact me!

Question[The following dialogue occurred on Youtube under my one year compilation video.]

jkeagle: What’s the music you use in this video?

Linzer32: @jkeagle That would be a little Hood Internet and Milkman. Those are two mash-up artists. I liked their energy and figured samplers wouldn’t be so stingy on copyright laws, which I’m getting much more aware of and sensitive to these days. Trying to find stock that matches the power of copyrighted good stuff.

jkeagle: @Linzer32 Good call! If you happen to have a compiled list of “best songs” or “best practices” for travel video soundtracks, I think that would be a GREAT resource to add to your site! I know I would be interested! Continue reading →

A Wonderful Message from Nakavika

While I was on location in Mexico, driving on a dusty road to Pantaleon’s painting studio, I received an e-mail from a woman from Fiji – an e-mail that really made me happy.

Message from Nakavika

Thanks for the tremendous work you have done to my village. Working as a community or Public Health Nurse for the last 17 years, I know all what you have gone through, and it is not easy to get things done. There are so many obstacles on the way before achieving the objectives. Just an advice, let the community get involved and be part of all the on-going process of the project from day 1 till the the very last day, delegate responsibiities to them, and then only you will see a huge change.

Anyway, there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel. Your stay and exchanged of traditions and cultures is an eye opener especially to the younger generations of Nakavika village in years to come. Being part of the family and sharing whatever that has been prepared freely was such and enjoyment. The community were luckily to be part of you for a short while and the cream goes to the school children as part of their learning process. Whatever has happened will be history, and whatever will happen will be part of the memories that will linger on and we hope that you will take it constructively, in the understanding that adapting to a new enviroment needs more than 2 weeks. The exchange of views, cultures and ideas will be a big stepping stone to another new horizon and expecting more to come for the betterment of the community. Continue reading →

Travel Pals, China, and the Quarterlife Crisis

A tsunami smacked me on the head last Tuesday, energy and activity in one exhausting wave, rendering me not quite unconscious but with twitching eyes and a crumbling mental capacity. And I don’t mean that in a bad way.

AlexisSince the dawn of this website, I’ve known a radiant being of 6′1″ stature and a high verbal capacity. Alexis Reller was my potluck, shipboard roommate on Semester at Sea and an instant friend, even though she found my ship ID photo pre-meeting downright worrisome. Alexis and I continued to galavant around the MV Explorer and the world’s ports thinking, “Gosh, how lucky am I to have a partner like this broad,” only to disembark post-trip and reunite regularly for the next three years with our friend Garrett Russell.

Since then, we’ve tackled fifteen European countries in thirty days (on a budget) and experienced ski and road trips alongside each other. She’s my ultimate travel pal, one whose friendship is instantly renaissanced upon a simple “s’up” regardless of the time between interactions.

For the last year, she’s been teaching English at a university in China. Emerging from the Mother Land in one piece, she carried with her musings on communism, the ample travel opportunities of the expansive land, and the power China can have on her expats. Her first night in Indianapolis, we discussed these – and many other – topics ad nauseam, letting conversations go conceptual at the drop of an adjective. I was thrilled to be back in contact with the person who helped me hone my appreciation for the world and its powers. Continue reading →
