A few months ago I quit my corporate job on Wall St, moved out of my Brooklyn apartment, took out a handsome loan, and went on a 4 month trip around the world. Why?

The result? Well I am alive and well and back in the States after traveling through 3 countries in Europe, all over Russia, Israel and Lebanon, and a month spent journeying across China. I of course lugged all of my video and camera gear along for the ride. In the next few weeks I plan to start posting my travel stories, so please stay tuned…
