General banter

General banter is where I get to stretch my mind. There are just some things which don’t fit under one label.

I’ve been writing about travel for the last 20 years. I write travel guides, stupid stories, gear reviews and I’m always looking to share whatever knowledge I’ve gained over the years.

Even with all that, there are some things that don’t quite fit.

That’s where general banter comes in.

Sometimes I just want to get something off my chest.

One month in Brazil (the life of a 360 videographer)

03/11/201931/03/2018 by Adam Fraiel

One month in Brazil… From weird infections to parkour down mountains to setting my flesh on fire, my one month in Brazil has certainly been eventful. Throw in some cheeky caipirinhas during Carnaval and a good bit of wandering, and it’s fair to say I’ve kept myself busy.
