Feast your eyes on these stunning photos from Vorkuta, captured by my travel buddy Stefano Tiozzo. Stefano is an Italian photographer and documentary filmmaker who harbors a deep passion for Russia. I was lucky to have him join me on this trip because with an extra set of hands, we managed to capture far more footage than I could have on my own,...

Hey folks! I'm excited to share my latest video from Mongolia, a nation at the heart of a geopolitical tug-of-war in the new Cold War. I'm holding off on posting it to YouTube for the moment because of a little hiccup with a copyright claim on one of the tracks. But no stress, I always use music legally (a huge shoutout to your donations for mak...

I know many of you have been asking about the recent drone attacks here in Moscow, so I wanted to give you a quick update.
A few buildings around the city were hit, including a high-rise in the posh Moscow-City district and another spot just a couple of metro stations away from my place. Pretty wild, right?
Just want to let you know...
