THIS IS PATAGONIA // I still get chills watching this. Chilean Patagonia is truly special.
Thank you to @adventuretravelassociation @chilenativo and @lastorres.patagonia for the opportunity to hike parts of the W Trek, go horseback riding, spy on puma, watch the sun rise from the Base of the Towers, kayak amongst icebergs, eat incredible meals, learn about the baqueano, and MORE.

MAGIC OF EASTER ISLAND // Honoured to be nominated for this year’s @travelmediaca award for Beat Emerging and Broadcast Media Stories 10 Minutes and Under category.
At Going Awesome Places, we create content for a lot of platforms but video is one of our favourites. They take a lot of time to plan, film, and edit but the finished product on YT is always 💯 rewarding.
Rapa Nui (Easter Island) was a special place to travel to where the moai 🗿 came alive and learned the fascinating rise and fall of a civilization. Our trip here was made possible from being at @adventuretravelassociation’s AdventureNEXT in Patagonia and extending my travels in Chile with @worldlytraveller after the conference.
🔗 to the video is in the bio.
Congrats to a superb field of video creators in @seeusoontravel @daveyandsky @justinpluslauren!
Lastly, shoutout to @visittampabay for sponsoring this TMAC award.

ULTIMATE SUSHI MAKING CLASS // This isn’t your normal sushi making class. At Sushiya no Saito in Sapporo, Hokkaido, you get hands-on instruction from a legit sushi master. With the help of a translator, you’ll get to be part of the end-to-end process of making omakase-level sushi.
[🔖SAVE and SHARE this if you or someone you know is going to Sapporo!]
🍣 When you’re done, the class flips to an exclusive omakase dinner with more courses than we could count. It was divine!
🫶 Oh and what happened to the sushi we made? We got to compare Saito-san’s vs ours and OF COURSE his was much better but I gotta say ours wasn’t so shabby. The rest the packed up in a fancy box for us to eat the next day. WIN!
📌 We were one of the guinea pigs for the class and the plan is for @hokkaidotreasureisland to have it up and running by March 2024 so if you’re headed to Sapporo later this year, make sure to give them a shout and let them know Going Awesome Places sent you ✌️.
This is the REAL DEAL!
