Offroading, Volcanoes, Andes Foothills and Near Misses in Argentina

by

The following is a recollection of an intense two-day drive through the foothills of the Andes Mountains on the Argentinian side.

Kia Orana from Aitutaki in the Cook Islands – Jeffsetter’s First Video Blog Post!

by

On a rainy day in Aitutaki in the Cook Islands, I found myself with nothing to do but try to make a video for the website. The result? A semi-professional looking video blog post that I'm hoping you enjoy! While I hope the video looks like it was easy to make, it actually did take some time and effort to get it done, especially with a slow Internet connection on an … [Read more...] about Kia Orana from Aitutaki in the Cook Islands – Jeffsetter’s First Video Blog Post!
