Heroes, refugees, or bargaining chips? 

The story of global migration is more calculated than you think. We tracked the exodus from countries like the Philippines and Cuba to reveal the shocking strategies behind disappearing populations. This isn't just about people leaving – it's about why they're told to go. Watch the full story in my latest video! https://youtu.be/-R7KO0HUqu4

Hey friends, a simple question for you:
Name the best place and time on Earth. Not a vague city like London or Moscow (they’re huge!) but one specific place, one specific moment.
Not so easy, right? But you’ve got this. Where does your heart skip a beat? Where do tears come to your eyes? Where do you wish you could stop the clock just a little longer?

What does the American Dream look like from the driver's seat of an 18-wheeler?

I went to the world's trucking capital, Chicago, to find out. Along the way I got to meet immigrants who built companies from nothing, couples who turned their cab into a home, and drivers facing the road's toughest truths. This is the unfiltered story of freedom, family, and the $150k price tag on the open road. Ready to see America from a view few ever get? Watch the full documentary now! https://youtu.be/XX7-iaoonTw

What's the first thing you think of when you hear "Switzerland"?

Switzerland sells a dream. I bought it. But my wallet hasn't recovered. 

From a $100,000 suit to a $50 train ticket for one stop, see what happens when you try to live the "Swiss golden dream" on a normal budget. The country isn't just expensive; it's a masterclass in "cozy opulence." But the moment you stop admiring the view, you start checking your bank account. My new documentary breaks down the real cost of the world's most desirable lifestyle. https://youtu.be/R3p4UClc1Ek

At the beginning of the year, I dove in real winter! Here in Japan, it even snowed in Tokyo — which is very rare — and in the mountains there’s so much snow that the branches can barely hold it. I suddenly realized that I’d started to forget about such winter delights as:

— Warming up and brushing the car
— Knocking snow off your boots before getting into the car
— Walking around in wet, cold shoes
— Freezing
— Looking for some place to warm up in
— Hardly seeing the sun at all
— Jumping over slush on the sidewalks

What other wonderful things does winter have to offer? I think I didn’t miss anything. So, box checked — now I’m ready for proper summer weather. The only thing I love about winter is the genuine, biting cold of Yakutia! When your nostrils stick together, icicles form on your nose, and frost settles on your eyelashes. With Indigirka salad, delicacies like stroganina and tansyk made from foal liver. When there’s fog all day long because of the frost! When you don’t turn off your car for months — or you cover it with a special car blanket with your phone number spray-painted on it.

UNBOWED. UNBOUGHT. UNBREAKABLE. 

While empires fought over its ice, Greenland’s people fought for their soul. This is the story of the most resilient mindset on Earth, from the defiant rejection of Trump's millions to the uncovering of Denmark's hidden sterilization scandal. Witness the chilling legacy of abandoned US nuclear bases, a missing H-bomb under the glaciers, and a culture of quiet modesty that roared against American boasting.
