If you want to see what the photos look like that I took with this camera, then go to my website: www.urbanpixxels.com/travel-chicago-mirrorless-nikon-z6. Here I'm also sharing my first impressions using the camera.
Chicago places and things to do featured in this video:
- Cloud Gate ('The Bean')
- Millennium Park
- Crown Fountain
- Chicago Architecture Foundation Center River Cruise
- The Art Institute of Chicago
- Famous public art pieces and street art in Chicago
- The Observation deck at 360 Chicago

MOUNT BROMO TOUR | Climbing an Active Volcano in Indonesia
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 5 lety
When Lonely Planet chooses a photo of Mount Bromo as the cover for their Indonesia guide, you want to make sure you’ve seen it before leaving the country. I went on a 1 day tour from Malang to see the sunrise over Mount Bromo, followed by a hike to the crater. This is one Indonesia's most active volcanos: amazing! In this video I'll take you with me on this Mount Bromo tour, from waiting for th...
AMAZING LUXURY TRAIN JOHANNESBURG to CAPE TOWN | Premier Classe Tour

Travel with me on this incredible 28 hour overnight train ride from Johannesburg to Cape Town with the Premier Class train. A budget alternative to the famous Blue Train, but still a luxury experience. It's one of the most beautiful and scenic train rides in South Africa.

There are many ways to spend your days in St Petersburg, but the city’s history plays a big role in the main tourist attractions.

SMART LUGGAGE BATTLE: Away vs Horizn Studios

When it comes to smart luggage there are two brands that everyone is talking about: Away and Horizn Studios. Would it surprise you if I say I have both? I won’t go into detail here how I got there, but I’m explaining it all in the video. So let’s forget for a moment that I may have a bit of a luggage addiction. And let’s use my experience with both Away and Horizn Studios (the carry-on as well ...

Franz Josef Glacier Helicopter Hike: Icy Adventure in New Zealand
zhlédnutí 882Před 6 lety
The best way to see the Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand is unfortunately not the cheapest one: a glacier hiking tour with a short helicopter ride to take you to the glacier. But it's so worth it! This is really one of the best things to do on the South Island. After a bit of research online I sign up for a tour with Franz Josef Glacier Guides. Their guides are amazing and they provide you wi...
KOYASAN | Unique Stay at a Japanese Buddhist Temple
zhlédnutí 24KPřed 7 lety
From Osaka I travelled to Mount Koya, also known as Koyasan for an overnight stay at Ekoin, a 1200 year old Buddhist temple. I'm staying at a shukubo, a pelgrim lodging at a buddhist temple. It's such a unique experience. From the Buddhist vegetarian meal (shojin-ryori) and hot spring baths to the night tour at the Okunoin Cemetery and morning fire ritual. It's a side of Japan I haven’t experie...
GREAT OCEAN ROAD in 1 day from Melbourne
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 7 lety
Can you do the Great Ocean Road in one day from Melbourne? Most travel guides will tell you you need to take at least three days, rent a car and take your time to explore all the sights and villages along the way. Unfortunately that wasn't an option for me and so I joined a tour to do the Great Ocean Road in one day from Melbourne. And it was great! Yes, it's a long day and you won't be able to...
Ryokan Hiiragiya in Kyoto: The Ultimate Japanese Experience
zhlédnutí 77KPřed 7 lety
Don’t think that a ryokan is just a hotel that looks Japanese. It’s an unforgettable experience that you can only get in Japan. Which is why it was on top of my list when I started planning this trip. The Hiiragiya ryokan in Kyoto has been in the same family for 200 years and is one of the most popular places in Japan for visitors and celebrities (Charlie Chaplin, Elizabeth Taylor) that want to...

Madidi National Park | Amazon Jungle Tour in Bolivia

One of the best experiences in Bolivia is an Amazon jungle tour in Madidi National Park. There are not many places on earth where you’ll find such a large number and diversity of animals and plants. With eco-tourism you support the local communities and your visit only has a limited impact on the rainforest. Which is why we stayed at the Madidi Jungle Ecolodge, a fantastic experience.

    Did this journey eleven times in 2016, always sad when the journey ended. The food was freshly prepared, not frozen stuff heated up. The staff attitude was exemplary, the service shined. And it is very, very safe. The scenery is great and we saw giraffe, hartebeest, kudu, springbok, gnu, zebra, ostrich,rheebok, steenbok.......eagles, the rare riverine rabbit ...really special. And a majestic sable antelope just as we exited Hexton long tunnel on the Karoo side, standing on top of a ridge, etched against the blue sky. If this journey bores you, put down your phone and look outside. Africa is out there, to feast your eyes upon. Never a dull moment. 😊

    Really weak video content. No mention of costs, the different compartments available ( they're not CABINS by the way). For a 26 train trip, there was no mention of the different beautiful South African landscapes or the four provinces it crossed, being different geographically. Were there any stops ? Explanation of Meals- No description at all. What did the compartments consistent of? Is there WiFi? Are there showers ? So much to mention about your little information of this trip. Keep your day job being a travel expert is not for you.

Соседи - христианское поселение русских и украинцев, белорусов. Они же и продают часть из своих 200 га. Рядом, в киллометре, проходит граница самого огромного и красивого заповедника. Мы ждём в команду людей, ведущих здоровый образ жизни. Тех, кто увлекается йогой, славянством, индуизмом, эзотерикой. Людей, осознанных, стремящихся к самопознанию. Стартуем через 1,5-2 года.
