Sylvan Lake did not disappoint.
Father/Son team of anthropologists who travel the World to promote preservation of culture and nature
Sylvan Lake did not disappoint.
Off on a morning hike to Sylvan Lake in Black Hills National Forest. It looks to be one of the most beautiful lakes in North America.
Good morning from outside of Deadwood.
One of the few things better than a delicious meal is a delicious meal on vacation.
This was Coach Steven McAnelly favorite place in Rome. Wish he was there with me thos time too.
While it only mattered how much these weighed in 1715, there is so much more to the value of these cobs today.
I live in a beautiful city with a beautiful wife. Just saying.
Did you know my son was a speach champion in elementary school? Now we speak together about the importance of trees. Brendon Kerkela makes me proud.
Missing the taste of vacation meals. Did you ever notice how much better food tastes on vacation?
This whole tree-hugger program is really coming together. I am now working with Rotary Districts on 3 continents in hopes of initiating a program that will plant millions of trees every year. A special thanks to Rotary Vero Beach Oceanside and Rotary6930 for helping to get this ball rolling, and to Victoria Ashley Fine Jewelry for funding our first couple hundred trees. I love you all, and I love the trees!
This awesome tree marks the village wells in the desert outside of Jaisalmer, India where it has been the roadsign for villagers and voyagers for at least 300 years.
I hope I can someday plant a tree that will live 2000 years. Until then, I will plant thousands of trees that will live for hundreds.

First time in business class.
Aloha is so much more than a greeting or parting phrase. Aloha is about love, family and community. It is a spirit of a resilient and proud culture, and it is with a spirit of Aloha that the city with several of my favorite beach memories will rebuild and heal.
For now, let's send dome Aloha to the people of Lahaina. Below is one way to help:

Ever hug a tree, literally? the view is amazing, and the smell is intoxicating.
Happy World Nature Conservation Day!
Our plan to plant 10 or more trees in every country in the 🌎 is really coming into focus thanks to my fellow Rotarians.
Say it ain't so. Our Petra series is in the books. If Petra is on your bucket list, you should watch all three videos on our YouTube channel. We walked nearly 35 miles in 2 days to show you so much more than you will see in other videos. I hope you like them as much as we like filming them.

Have you ever eaten a Burek? Börek or burek are a family of pastries or pies found in the Balkans, Middle East and Central Asia. The pastry is made of a thin flaky dough such as filo with a variety of fillings, such as meat, cheese, spinach, or potatoes. Boreks are mainly associated with the Middle East, Armenia, and also with the former Ottoman Empire, including the Balkans and the South Caucasus, Eastern European and Central European countries, Northern Africa and Central Asia. A borek may be prepared in a large pan and cut into portions after baking, or as individual pastries. They are usually baked but some varieties can be fried. Borek is sometimes sprinkled with sesame or nigella seeds, and it can be served hot or cold. #foodievlog #foodies #travelforfood #foodguide #foodvlog #foodvlogger #youtubetravel #culturalfood #foodculture #streetfood #anthropology #anthropologist #hungrytraveler #foodtour #gallivant #travelvlog #travelvideo
Kerak, Jordan is an important crusader's castle in a strategic valley in Jordan. This was a really cool part of our Jordan Road trip, which you can watch on our YouTube channel. When you visit, do not forget to hit the museum. The Kerak Archaeological Museum was established inside the old castle, which has remains from the Moabite period in the first millennium BC, going through the Nabataean, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic and Crusader periods. The museum was opened in 1980. The main part of the museum is a large hall in a vault of the castle, used as living quarters for soldiers in the Mameluk period. The collections date from the Neolithic up to the late Islamic periods and come from the Kerak and Tafila regions. Among the sites is Bab Adh-Dhra’, famous for its Bronze Age burials. The museum houses remains of skeletons and pottery from the Bab Adh-Dhra' graves; Iron Age II artifacts from Buseirah; Byzantine glass vessels and inscriptions, and Roman and Nabataean artifacts from Rabbah and Qasr. #gallivant #travelvlog #travelvideo#anthropology #anthropologist #culturalanthropology #youtubetravel #archaeology #archaeologylife #archaeologist #ruins #mylifeinruins #ancientruins #travelhistory #ilovehistory #historygeek
A nod to some truly amazing people. There were times on the Annapurna Circuit when the elevation made carrying the 12 Kilogram packs on our back seem nearly impossible while our porter carried the equivalent of his body weight without missing a step. Cheers to hiring local help. what was heavy for us was light for our new friend, and what was a little amount of money for us, was good pay in the Himalayas. We miss our guide and porter from Nepal and we have kept in touch so that we can trek together again in 2026 on our World Tour. #culturalheritage #travelculture #gallivant #travelvlog #travelvideo#anthropology #anthropologist #culturalanthropology #youtubetravel #shoplocal #eatlocal #responsibletravel #sustainabletravel #sustainability #culture #cultural #natureparks #nationalparks #ecotourism #responsibletravel #sustainabletravel #sustainability #conservation #rtwdrive #treknepal #nepaltreks #nepali #annapurna
Want to see the wide angle of this????? Lucky for you our full-length video on this amazing site comes out tomorrow morning. Jerash is the most intact Roman city outside of Italy. It is my third favorite archaeological site so far, behind only Angkor Watt and Petra (video in 2 weeks). You really need to add this place to your list. You will not forget the site, especially the musical rocks that lined this Roman road. #gallivant #travelvlog #travelvideo#anthropology #anthropologist #culturalanthropology #youtubetravel #archaeology #archaeologylife #archaeologist #ruins #mylifeinruins #ancientruins #travelhistory #ilovehistory #historygeek
