Vampire: Origins – Serbia to Romania
If you love the vampire mythos, this is a must-do exploration into the genesis of the lore. Beginning at the massive fortress in Belgrade, we will set the historical stage upon which the undead were first documented. Traveling down the legendary Danube River, you’ll visit the village of the earliest known vampire attack. The adventure continues into Romania as we cross the Iron Gates and travel to the land of Dracula. There will be plenty of cemeteries, underground passages, and castles. We will eat, drink, and dance. You will tread the same earth as the legends of the night and, in a secret ceremony, attempt to channel their spirits.
India – Manali to Leh Motorcycle Journey
You and I will retrace a sensational season 1 adventure: A traverse of the world’s highest motorable road… A big feather in any motorcyclist’s (or adventurer’s) cap.
Starting in the laid back hippy town of Manali, we’ll mount Enfield bikes (or seats available in a support SUV) and cruise over the stunning Himalayas. Our destination is Leh and the monasteries surrounding her… clustered in the cliffs and full of secrets.
Montenegro
A loop around the natural gem of the Balkans. This country has stunning mountains, lush forests, and the prettiest bay I’ve ever seen.
Greece
We begin in the culinary capital of Greece: Thessaloniki. Here we’ll explore the ancient Byzantine city and dine on the best food in the country.
Next, we curve down the Thermaic Gulf to Mt. Olympus, the home of the gods.
Finally, we arrive at my favorite under-the-radar gem: Pelion. This forested, mountainous peninsula is soaked in myth and loaded with remote beaches, secret caves, and quaint villages.
I keep the numbers super low so we can get to know each other and move nimbly through the environment. This also allows us to connect with locals on a human level and not a transactional one.
- We stay in nice places and eat great food.
- There will be an easy option for every challenging one (e.g. If you don’t want to take the hike, you can have a massage, a cooking lesson, etc).
- Optional games, activities, and talking circles are offered to create more connection to the place, the people, and each other.
