We traveled from state to state, driving from affordable Arizona to the warm beach town of San Diego on the tip of SoCal on the border with Mexico, which everyone calls the Mexican border.
After decades of war brought on by empires (British, Russian, American, Chinese) and negative media coverage (US propaganda), most adventure travelers wouldn’t even dream of coming here.
But today, I [a Lithuanian from the EU] set out to show a different side of this country – the beauty, the hospitality, and the raw reality of life in Afghanistan today.
Riding my motorcycle from Kabul to the legendary Bamiyan Valley and the pristine waters of Band-e Amir Lakes, I’ll ride through breathtaking landscapes, ancient history, and powerful human encounters.
(Historian Dr. Ranajit Pal)
Along the way, I meet a beekeeper who shares his honey, almonds, and hospitality, explore the ruins of the ancient and massive Bamiyan Buddhas destroyed by the [CIA-ISI's] Taliban, share food with families living in caves Buddhist monastics carved out and occupied around the time of the Buddha and for centuries thereafter, and witness the extreme poverty that 40 years of war has left behind.
Let's begin with a solo exploration of the back country then get down to the valley proper, where the whole family enjoys glamping, getting up early, and glorious hiking up Half Dome.
Yosemite September 2025 Family Trip
The views from Glacier Point, Yosemite
(Take It Outside) Sept. 11, 2025: 🌲✨ Join our family as we explore Yosemite National Park in this month! We start the trip in Yosemite Valley, taking in breathtaking views of El Capitan ("The Captain") and Half Dome from below. Then we drive up to incredible Glacier Point, where the panoramic views of the valley and high country leave us speechless. The highlight of the trip? Tackling the Half Dome hike—an unforgettable challenge climbing up the cables and soaking in the views from the summit, then making the long trek back down.

(Wonderhussy)Taking adventure to a new level by visiting the most hedonistic city in Nevada. Yes, wilder than Pahrump, more lit up than Las Vegas, more secretive than Area 51 (Groom Lake), where there's no money -- and none needed because it has evolved into a gifting culture beyond barter to selfless giving of services, experiences, food, drink, and fun! It takes dana (India's ancient practice of cultural spiritual generosity) to a modern place with an enlightened outlook to how life can be.
[When? Just as soon as the Powers That Be step out of the way and release all of the free energy technology that has been discovered, developed, and attempted to be patented before being disappeared and stored somewhere in the Smithsonian Institution and/or the U.S. Patent Office storage units as it will upset the entire economic model personally grinding us down now as a planet when other planets, even local neighbors have evolved beyond this. Nicola Tesla was downloaded such technology by otherworldly beings interested in helping us with that evolution, but the covert agencies stepped in, weaponized it, and kept it all under wraps. Tesla discovered more and made working models of his visions than we have ever been allowed to yet see. Eventually it will come out.]
There’s something magical about April: It’s not too hot, not too cold, and everything feels like it’s waking up from a long sleep (including megafauna after a long winter of indoor hibernation).
It’s the absolute sweet spot for getting outside and soaking in some stunning landscapes without freezing toes off or melting into a puddle of sweat.
Where better to do that than in some of the most awe-inspiring national parks the US has to offer?
From vibrant blooms to wild adventures, this is the season when these national treasures really show off their best sides.
Let’s skip the tourist brochure chatter and get right into the good stuff. More

Terrifying noises are coming from a HAUNTED TOWN in Rajasthan, India 🇮🇳

Societe US says there are 18 behaviors branded as low class by American society. Some of us are the haves and some are the have-nots, but being "low class" isn’t so much about what we have as much as it is about what we don’t, namely "class." The American caste system isn't as obvious to outsiders as it is to us. Any highschooler learns it. "Social clues," Cage the Elephant tells us, are the key. There are dead-giveaways, habits that tell everyone that our upbringing was not posh, upscale, spoiled, or even pampered.
Dharma Bums (Jack Kerouac)
We were at the back of the plane by the bathrooms. We fed on Twinkies instead of cake. We ate Heinz yellow mustard on benches instead of Grey Poupon in cars. We spat like Hock Tua Gal [Hawk Tuah Girl], as Southern as a Tennessee brat in Daisy Dukes. We considered hitching all the way to the greatest National Park in the land, Yo-Semite, now open to Gentiles, too.
This is not about eating junk food all the way to the holy haunts of the Paiute Indians. This is about getting back to the land and running into a meadow or grove until a deer or Sasquatch notices. (Bigfoot is probably high up in the cold hills, not wandering from peak to peak in the summer flush of a late spring and all this Tuolumne River melt into the lazy Merced River of the valley). So mosquitoes and chiggers, mites and ticks are much bigger worries than the park's charismatic megafauna like grizzlies and brown bears.

(Araya Amenti) July 8, 2024: ITALY. Hello and welcome. I'm Araya, and I am here to help you remember who you are and to get what you want out of this human experience. In this space, we talk about all things spirituality, manifestation, consciousness, health, and wellness.
I spent years and years and hundreds of thousands of dollars learning how to heal my body from chronic illness, which ended up being my soul's chosen path to awakening and having me remember who I am.
A new earth is here, and I am honored to be a guide as we shift into this new 5D world. Let's decondition [decolonize] our minds, leave the Matrix behind, and celebrate our uniqueness and authentic truth. Namaste, my friends!
Man and dog live a year in dangerous woods
(RAMIZ IN THE WILD) April 27, 2024: Hello🖐, dear viewers🤩 and subscribers😍to this channel. This time I lived with my canine companion for a year and two months in a very dangerous forest. It turns out that living in the forest for a long time is not a problem; in the forest one can find everything one needs for life. For example, there's water, food, and so on. In short, I built burrowed cave hut in 15 days. The only problem was that the clay took a long time to dry, but I solved this problem by drying it with fire. And I figured out my beloved dog was injured in the forest, but I did everything necessary. I patched up her wound, and she recovered quickly. I show all the rest in the video.
