We just launched a Kickstarter campaign to create two more episodes of FIRST TIME HERE: one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and one in Buenos Aires, Argentina. On our campaign you can pledge money to get cool stuff like a DVD of the new episodes or a poster. Check it out:

Universities can be great places to visit while traveling. The people on campus tend to be friendly and have good advice on cheap food and cool things to do in the area.
While in South Africa, Emily and I visited the University Cape Town. They had a rugby club that even invited us to join them:

Bringing a DSLR camera while traveling can take up a lot of space and add a fair amount of weight. When I first started looking for a bag to carry my camera equipment in I looked mainly at backpacks specially made for DSLRs. Then I found this smaller bag that easily holds my camera and a second lens, and fits into other bags I already own:
My goto daypack when traveling is a beat up old backpack I got in the 7th grade:
It fits the camera bag, a water bottle, and a packable rain jacket (you can sometimes find these on sale for about 40% off, so shop around) with extra room if I end up buying anything throughout the day:
Plus, it doesn’t scream “THIS BACKPACK HAS A NICE CAMERA IN IT SO YOU SHOULD PROBABLY STEAL IT” like some bags made specifically for DSLRs.

Hello. This is our blog. It’s about traveling. It’s about our travels and our travel show, FIRST TIME HERE. It’s about informing you through text and images about said travels and said show. What we are trying to say is, “You should read this thing.” The posts to come will be about everything from what goes into making a travel show to what we’ve learned while traveling. So what we are trying to say is, “Thank you for being here.” You are important to us.
