Africa journey in Travel Time Magazine

Based in Europe, Travel Time magazine is translated into five languages, and places a huge emphasis on amazing journeys, and high-quality photography. Although sometimes that simply means showing the world you're eating a bug.

Touratech founder and CEO, Herbert Schwarz, myself, and actor Kurt Yaeger are featured on the cover riding through one of the many amazing landscapes in Zambia.

In review:

Chatted briefly with Jay Leno, photographed a ridiculous new $130k BMW, and helped stabilize a guy who gave himself an extra knee by dividing his tib/fib into at least four separate parts, from what I could tell. Few other things thrown in there, but that's the jist of it.
