I’m an American expat living in Valencia, Spain, exploring what life and travel really feel like beyond guidebooks and postcard moments.
After years in the corporate world and a chapter in the travel industry, owning a travel agency and appearing as The Travel Guy on morning television in Chicago, I traded planning trips for living them. Now I share real experiences from the ground: walking cities, discovering local eats, neighborhoods, markets, and everyday moments that make places memorable.
Based in Valencia and traveling across Spain, Europe, and beyond, this channel blends local living with global exploration.
I’ve always loved travel, and I hope these videos help you enjoy it more, see places differently, and feel confident exploring the world yourself.
📍 New videos weekly from Valencia, Spain — and beyond.

Turns out leaving your country has consequences. One of them is a YouTube channel. 🍊 Now I'm based in Valencia, eating my way through Europe — Rome, Florence, Venice and wherever my wallet allows next. If you're planning a trip, dreaming about moving abroad, or just here for the food — you're in the right place. Drop a comment: in which country should I eat next?
