I've been practicing my jumping in Sweden

The continuing story of my travels will continue on the next post, for now check out some sweet jumps that I've been working on with Elin, my Swedish jumping instructor. 

Paris, Bikes, and Something Spooky

You've probably seen pictures of Paris. Maybe even been to here. But here are some more pictures, why not?

Street Theater and the End of A Beautiful Road Trip

France is a great place, and street theater festivals in France are good. Real good.

Jumping

I know I haven't been around in awhile... But here are some photos of people jumping. More to come soon!

Boris or Ron?

Which one is me?

News: I Am Having A Good Time

Hello and welcome to a quick update from a tiny house in a tiny village in a country with very large abilities to have a good time. Cheese? Check. Wine? Check. Beach? Lake? Vaudevillians? Check, check, and check. I know that many have concerns that I may not be having a good time. Let me assure you, it is just not the case.

(Translated from French) Alice? Are we all having a good time? I don't think so. 

Are you kidding? Fuck yeah!

Hanging Out With The Locals.

Salutations, Brigade!

I'm coming to you from Prailles, a tiny French village just outside of Geneva, Switzerland. I last wrote from a different small French village just outside of Geneva. That week was spent with the Kenny Clan, and ended with Pat and I taking a tour of the CERN underground.

Friends in Faraway Places

Hello! I'm writing today from the rainy Swiss/France border, just a few kilometers away from Geneva, temporary home of the Kenny family, and close to the birthplace of the world wide web. It's a wonderful place, seeing my old friends Lauren and Pat has been a blast, and  hanging out with their kids Rowan the Goozmont (9 months) and Declan "Big Handsome" Kenny (4 years) has been an entertaining couple of days indeed.

I want to tell you something.

But first, let's go back to the event of the Quad-copter back in Erlangen...

Back in the Western World

Long time no see, Brigade! Things have been happening, and there's been no time to sit and type until just now, at the relaxing home of Aaron and Sequoia Webster in Erlangen, Germany, a lovely little town (my words, not theirs) outside of Nuremburg.

Since last I posted I have traveled a fair bit. How about a story, shall we?

Things I Love: Part 4

A post with stories coming very soon. But in the mean time, Things I Love:

So Many Stories

Hello! Coming to you from Lithuania, home of Arvydis Sabonis. Woah! Things have been crazy since leaving St. Petersburg, so I'm going to jump right into some stories. I will update this soon with some photos, but for now you get the words. Warning: it's a lot of words and I did not edit it.

Updated!

Things I Love: Part 3

San Pedro

Hello again!
St. Petersburg, for those who may not be aware, is way freakin' north. And I have only been here right around the solstice, so keep in mind that any of these photos could have been taken at noon or at midnight, it's so weird. Though I think most of them were probably taken closer to noon, as I don't often take my camera out to boogie, though I'm sure those would produce some marvellous pictures.

Moscow, A Mixed Up Place

Greetings, Brigade!
Coming to you from wonderful St. Petersburg, Russia, I am sad to say that I am coming to you alone, as my two travelling partners, Misters Phillips and Vanderwert, have moved on to their own short adventures before returning to lovely Melbourne. It's been less than 48 hours since they both left, and already I'm pining for moments like these:

Things I Love: Part Two

Things I love from China, Russia, Everywhere we've been, and Japan. No further comments necessary.

Guess Where I Am Now!

Siberia Is HUGE.

Woah! Three days and four nights on a train is a long time, but it never felt boring or even cramped, which is surprising because it was pretty cramped.

Lake Baikal Is Huge!

I don't know about you, but I'd never heard of Lake Baikal before a few months ago when I started planning to take a train from Beijing to Russia. Apparently, though, it is by far the largest body of unfrozen freshwater in the world. Seriously, by far. You could fit all five Great Lakes in it with room to spare. And, you can drink it, no problem. It's really tasty.

Some Things I Love About Japan and China

...

Hello from China... I mean, from Mongolia!

Censorship in China is no joke. I was only able to get on Blogger once in Beijing, and I sent myself the e-mail of what I'd written in case it didn't post properly. I'm glad I did, because about a week later I get to Mongolia to find that the post I'd posted did not, in fact, post! So here is what I wrote from Beijing a week ago:

Hi Brigadiers!
I'm coming to you from Beijing, China, and what a place it is! It's a massive city, with some amazing buildings and the largest public square in the world, which you may have heard of. It's also go some crazy skies, mainly in that the sky fluctuates from dust storm of the post-apocolypse to clear blue of a beautiful dream.



But it's mostly like this.
