Exploring the Carpathians in Transylvania.
This documentary explores the majestic countryside of Transylvania where we trek on alpine trails and meadows as well as using horse- drawn carts in getting around. We visit Europe's largest bear sanctuary as well as seeing them in their natural habitat. We also explore the oldest town Brasov as well as medieval Saxon villages and churches. No trip to Transylvania would be complete without visiting Bran Castle, known as Draculas Castle.

Nyama Choma: Tanzanian Roasted Goat - African Street Food!
Nyama choma, roasted meat, is one of the most beloved things to eat in East Africa. Read more deliciousness here:
Every Time I arrive back to East Africa, which is usually Kenya or Tanzania, it doesn't take long for me to get the craving for some proper nyama choma. Nyama choma means roasted meat, and you can usually order beef, chicken, or the most common meat: goat (also known as mbuzi choma Kiswahili). Though I ate plenty of nyama choma in Kenya during my growing up years, this video, and my most recent article and experiences are from Tanzania, in the Dar Es Salaam area.
On one lazy Sunday afternoon, we decided to hit-up one of the truly local style nyama choma joints in the outskirts of town. This restaurant is actually not really a restaurant at all, but it's literally just someone's home who opens up their yard as a communal meat devouring and relaxing place. Every Sunday, they decide to hold goat roasts, or nyama choma feasts. There's a pen with live goats in the yard, and when there are enough customers, they slaughter one of the goats, and hang the fresh meat in the butchery. When customer begin to arrive, they select the chunks of meat that they wish to partake of, and the butcher will then slice it right off the goat carcass and throw it onto the grill. Eating nyama choma is a culture of its own. Most of the customers are men, and they go to a nyama choma restaurant with their friends to relax, normally drink plenty of beer, and chow down on free range and freshly cooked meat.
So I arrived on Sunday afternoon, my mouth already watering to get a taste of that roasted goat, the smoke pouring over the entire yard in meaty goodness. We chose a 1 kilo section of meat off the goat leg and the butcher chopped it ferociously with his machete and threw it on the grill with nothing more than a handful of salt and MSG. Don't expect your nyama choma, or any other food you order in East Africa, to come quickly. Eating nyama choma is more of a leisure experience; You sit around and wait for 1 or 2 hours until the meat is finished cooking. Our meat took about 1.5 hours or so, until it was done through and through.
When your nyama choma is finished cooking, the butcher then grabs his big knife, places your hunk of meat on a chopping board, and slices through the goat meat like it's butter. He cuts it all up into bite sized pieces, puts it on a plate, and it's served with little more than a pile of salt on the side of the plate, some chili peppers, and lemon wedges on the side. Nyama choma is one of the great East African dining experiences. The goat meat is definitely on the chewy side, but you can just taste that incredible natural and free range flavor from the meat. I'm a huge fan of East African nyama choma!

Arc’teryx Blade 28 Backpack Review | Minimalist One Bag Travel Pack Or Weekend Bag
The Arc’teryx Blade 28 is a solid minimal one bag travel pack or weekend bag. It’s a good backpack with excellent build quality and ample packing space, but we were hoping for something that would set it apart from the competition. View Details & Buy:

2:37 - External Components
5:03 - Inside the Pack
9:30 - Durability & Testing
10:07 - Pros & Cons
10:40 - The Verdict
The Blade 28 is a small travel pack from Arc’teryx, a company known for creating top-notch—and pricy—outdoor and adventure gear. From jackets and base layers to backpacks and climbing harnesses, they seem to do it all. And from what we can tell, they’re doing a great job.
After testing the Arc’teryx Blade 28 for about a month, it’s clear that this bag is very well made, with solid materials throughout. The side grab handles are a small feature that really shined during our testing, and the main compartment is very packable, with more space than you’d think upon first review. In general, the bag feels larger than it looks. That said, we think the laptop compartment could be closer to the wearer’s back and the lack of a hip belt or sternum strap is disappointing. Overall, we were a bit let down with this bag, especially after being so impressed with some of Arc’teryx’s other gear. It’s a solid pack and we have no doubt that it will hold up for years to come, but that seems to be all it has to offer.

Fado Night in Bucharest with Claudia Madeira @Dancinglobster
Fado is the musical expression of the portuguese people so the fado live music nights is a natural extension toward a genuine portuguese experience.
Every month Dancing Lobster Restaurant brings a piece of the portuguese soul to Bucharest, with one fadista accompanied by the portuguese and classic guitars. Fado and saudade aren’t just about sadness, it can be funny, nostalgic, happy, or tragic, just as life can be.
The best way to experience it all is to have a full dinner-and-a-show experience.
The most important thing to remember is to remain completely silent during songs. Pay attention—someone is pouring their heart out to you.
