STOP the PRESS, WATCH the VIDEO!

Check out our latest video for Lonely Planet...

You've seen the "rough" version earlier from our Las Vegas trip (I know, you're sick of Vegas already!) but I just wanted to share the whole premise of this video.

Inspired by "Experimental Travel" (Rachael Antony and Joel Henry), a book that dishes out alternative and playful ways of making the travel experience unique, immersive, and to say the least, quirky. Examples are exploring your own town by becoming a weekend backpacker - stay in a hostel, gallivant with other backpackers and see your town through their eyes, ...risk becoming either a local stranger or a strange local...?), or finding a dog and letting the dog take you for a walk! (Good luck trying that with Fox, whose favorite walk is to the car). Whether it's the Tenderloin or Tunisia, there are creative ways to explore and experience a place other than the classic travel routes.

So, back to Vegas, one of the world's high-priced travel destination, and what did I do?

Spend as little -most cases none- as possible. Now, on with the show... Enjoy!

We've Been Quiet Lately...

Quiet, but definitely not stationary.

busy

We are still traveling, still exploring new worlds and revisiting familiar ones, and enjoying every single bit of it. We promise to update you, our dear family and friends, of our adventures soon.

We'd like to take this opportunity to post some previous travel stories that we weren't able to share in the past, so watch out for them.

In the meantime, happy summer everyone!

Your Traveling 12 Feet,
Chris, Rikki, Fox and the ever curious Spencer
