Kacz - Where did you go again?

Hello all! I am a passionate traveler who has had many travel experiences for a guy in his early 20s. So far, I've been to multiple cities across the U.S., various countries of Europe, and the Central American gem that is Costa RIca. Of course, there is much more to go. When I travel, I am always looking to find the uniqueness of where ever I am, try whatever food the area is known best for, and have tons of random, funny, and hilarious experiences. I love to spread the word about good travel, and I hope that by sharing my tales, you will be inspired to go on your own adventures. Enjoy!

Russian Hockey Action! Europe » Russia » Northwest » Saint Petersburg

SKA St. Petersburg

To most Americans, hockey is the bastard child of professional sports. With so many other sporting options to choose from, the Stanley Cup Finals take a far backseat to the World Series, Superbowl, and dare I say it, the NBA Playoffs. Head up north to Canada, and hockey is a way of life. Head across the pond to Russia, and hockey is, well, a great way to spend a Wednesday night. On our last day of study tour, our group was presented with an interesting option. Shell out over $100 to see a performance of the Nutcracker ballet near the Hermitage, [View Full Entry]

In Soviet Russia, You Don't Drink Vodka. Vodka Drink You!! - St. Petersburg Europe » Russia » Northwest » Saint Petersburg

Over the Nevsky River

My dad had always been a big fan of James Bond movies. Growing up, I can't count how many times we would have some Bond marathon on TBS playing in our house all day. I was never really engaged by these films, nor did I ever get into them much. Perhaps this leads to some explanation why I really wasn't that excited when I found out that Russia would be the last stop on our study tour. It's a country that I really had no desire in visiting...ever. Nothing really popped out at me, even with all the histroy behind the [View Full Entry]

Seattle's Worst Cabbie North America » United States » Washington » Seattle

Beware of the Orange Cab

It wasn't until I started living in Philadelphia until I really started utilizing taxi cab service. Needless to say, we didn't have any cabs tooting around Palmer, MA growing up, and I took the taxi in Syracuse only a couple of times. Once I started living in Philly, I grew to realize that some cabbies were awesome, some said very little, and some could be a bit testy. However, nothing compared to the cab ride I had heading to the airport in Seattle on my return trip from the Pacific Northwest. By a landslide, the worst cab experience I've ever had, [View Full Entry]

On Top of the Needle - Seattle North America » United States » Washington » Seattle

Top of the Space Needle
One of my favorite pics taken of me in a while.

Without a doubt, it is one of the most unique structures that we have in the United States. It screams futuristic, and it is clearly the recognizable symbol of Seattle. It was without question that for my first visit to Seattle, I had to go to the top of the Space Needle. I had just finished visiting the Experience Music Project, which was right next door to the Needle. I bought my ticket to basically ride the elevator up top and walk around the top of the Needle. The inside had some cool exhibits about Seattle, including an interactive feature about [View Full Entry]

Are You Experienced? - Seattle's Experience Music Project North America » United States » Washington » Seattle

Experience Music Project
Are you experienced?

Seeing as I was so close, I decided to spend a day in Seattle after my trip to Vancouver. A city that was also on my list of must visit places, I was anxious to see what this Pacific-Northwest vibe was all about. After taking a quick hopper flight from Vancouver, I took a quick shuttle from the airport to my hotel. Dropping off my bags, I immediately headed down 3rd Ave. straight towards Pike's Place Market, home of the famous flying fish. I ended up talking to one of the employees there who actually can be seen in the Seattle [View Full Entry]

Jeff v. Food - Vancouver: Day 4 North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Tim Horton's
aka Canadian Crack.

Since my filming project was complete, I was relieved that I would not have to tote the camera around Vancouver on my last day there. However, I still wanted to stock up on some great photos and still had a few places to check out. Before I started my day, like many Canadians, I enjoyed a “double-double” and maple dip donut from Tim Horton’s. For those of you that are not part of the cult of Horton’s, it is by far the best coffee you’ll get from a fast food outlet..period. Seriously, I could have an IV needle stuck in my [View Full Entry]

We Are All Canucks - Vancouver: Day 3 North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Granville Island Public Market

I normally don’t wake up @ 6:30am on a Saturday, but if you’re going to get the best market experience, you’ve got to go early. I took a taxi down to Granville Island where I had an 8:30 tour of the public market with Edible British Columbia that I would be filming for my video piece. When I arrived to the meetup spot, I quickly discovered that I was the only person signed up for the tour, which avoided any issues of guests being uncomfortable with filming. Score! I met my guide, Chef Gurj Dhaliwal, who gave an excellent tour through [View Full Entry]

My Obsession with JapaDog - Vancouver: Day 2 North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

JapaDog
Un-f**king-believeably good.

Before I had left for Vancouver, a collegue of mine had sent out an email to an old colleague of hers with whom she worked with on The Electric Playground while it was on the Science Channel. I had heard nothing back from this guy until I woke up on Friday morning with a “Come on by!”. This man was Victor Lucas, creator and host of the Electric Playground (now EP Daily), which runs on G4 TechTV in Canada and online. Seeing as this was a rare opportunity, I hopped in a cab over to Greedy Productions on the north side [View Full Entry]

This Place Smells Awesome! - Vancouver: Day 1 North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

GM Place
Home of the Vancouver Canucks

As someone who works @ the Travel Channel, you might that I'd be whisking away to some exotic place every now and again for work. You'd actually be very wrong. I barely travel for work, and the surprising thing is, a lot of my co-workers don't do it that often either. I had a vision to create a culture change @ our organization, and thus created a program with a co-worker of mine that essentially allows Travel Channel employees to actually get out there and travel. To make a long story short, employees go out to a destination to create video [View Full Entry]

Gallo Pinto Forever - Costa Rica: Part 11 Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Guanacaste » Tamarindo

The last meal
Gallooo pintoooooo

We had been in Costa Rica for almost a week, with everyday filled with some sort of activity, adventure, or random act of stupidity. Steve had left town early on Thursday morning, and I believe this is really when our trip came to an end. Being that we were in Costa Rica in September, we had just hit the beginning of the rainy season. We already got soaked on the atvs the previous day, and the rain just did not stop. All day Thursday, it was nothing but terrential downpour. We couldn't go in the pool or ocean, or even lay [View Full Entry]
