I used to be able to travel for the sake of travel. Not so much anymore. Once, I remember heading to the Greek island of Crete for work. I booked myself some extra days on the island for myself. But when those days came up, I felt queasy about staying longer. I realized that it was because I didn’t have a purpose for being there. I was just some schmuck, aimlessly wandering around because I could.
So now, for better or worse, I need a purpose whenever and wherever I go. It can be as small as running some trail and documenting it on my camera or as big as, well, what I’m doing in Kenya next month –– traveling to @finchhattons to tell stories about Kenyan cuisine and wildlife before heading up to Iten with @running_trips_official where we’ll participate in a week-long running camp. I’ll share our experience, of course, but the focus will be on the folks on the ground, talking about what running means to Kenyan culture.
I think I’m slowly finding my sweet spot of what travel means to me. I’m privileged, wildly so in the grand scheme. I also think I’m pretty competent at storytelling and stitching things together (even if I do loathe video editing).
So, I’m embracing traveling with purpose by keeping my camera by my side to tell stories, both big and small, centering the folks who know these places, trails, and communities best.
What does travel mean to you?

Berlin needs no introduction. It’s the Haupstadt, the capital city with more baggage than literally anyone who refers to their partner as “mother” or “daddy.”
It’s where most immigrants and tourists end up, whether they like it or not.
Düsseldorf, on the other hand, is virtually unknown in the US. At best the name rings a bell because of its obvious German-ness, DUE-SSEL-DORF — so much so that it’s often referenced in American films.
Nonetheless, I spent my first three years in Germany living in Düsseldorf because… that’s where I was first able to get a job in Europe.
Not knowing anything about the city didn’t bother me, because all I did know about it is that it’s always at the top of those “most livable city” lists.
Usually, I think those rankings are bullshit, but you’ll believe in them when you’re moving across an ocean.
Now I’ve been in Berlin for just over four years and people here, especially Germans, often ask me which I like better. I wavered back and forth on whether or not making a video on this would be worthwhile.
But then someone jumped into the comments asking, so I figured, why not? Plus it’d be an excuse for me to bring on a very special guest! But stay tuned for that…
Alright, so Berlin vs. Düsseldorf. Here’s the spiel my wife and I almost always give.
