| 2/2/21 |  Returning "Home" After Decades in Canada | Naifu grew up in China as a boy, and had yet to return as an adult. In this podcast, Jordan and Naifu discuss the differences between China and North America, touching on topics such as Food & Culture, Individualism, Business Practices, and the sheer amount of humans in the People's Republic. | — | ||||||
| 12/14/20 |  Taking the Leap: New Country, New Life? with Vince Paquette | Full Video: https://youtu.be/aWrtTHaCMxY In 2016, my good friend @vincityx took the leap and followed his dream of moving to Europe. In this episode, we discuss the good and bad that comes with moving to a foreign country as well as the challenges that come with moving back after years of living a new life. . In the end, we both agree that moving abroad is a life-changing experience, one that will allow you to learn more about yourself and give you a new outlook on your life and the world as a whole. | — | ||||||
| 11/27/20 |  Comparing Trips: China with Marc Angelo Coppola | FULL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/KUldp0-2JBk Switching up from the TOAST usual, I have my brother in (his own) studio talking about our respective experience of China. How much has it changed? What did Marc do that I didn't and vice versa? Our stories and experience diverge quite a bit but the overall thing to take away is that we both have numerous stories and incredible experiences from the trips. | — | ||||||
| 8/20/20 |  Recently Discovered Roman Amphitheater in Europe's Oldest City | Full Vid: https://youtu.be/_yxXG48JaYs Have you ever tried to make yourself a garden only to find a large white brick in the ground then you ask the government about it and get your (and your neighbours') home repossessed by the government to dig out a Roman amphitheater? . Yup, that's the official story of how this 2100 year old structure was (re)discovered and further reconstructed in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. . Hear about one of my favourite spots in Central/Eastern (depending who you ask) in today's video. | — | ||||||
| 8/18/20 |  A Bulgarian Serendipitous Domino | Full Video: https://youtu.be/J9C8wLTexi8 They say bad things happen in threes.. but what about good ones? . It seems like my whole experience in Bulgaria and subsequent Romania were just a string of luck that just so happened to fall into categories of threes. . Today's episode I introduce Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria and a lovely city that I can't wait to return to. . I made some awesome friends there that I have visited a few times since. . | — | ||||||
| 8/10/20 |  Schist Village & Coimbra | Full vid: https://youtu.be/ANe0xmiqKzE Being in Europe and stumbling upon an entire village made with schist, a method of stacking stones without any adhesion, is absolutely mind boggling. . Bringing in feelings of Alberobello in Italy or incredible Incan villages in the Andes (South America), this Schist village blew me away. It's so prehistoric and meditative to build structures in a manner that contradicts gravity thanks to balance. . Needless to say, Coimbra shouldn't be muffled as it's a historically important university city which is almost as photogenic as the ruins in the hills. | — | ||||||
| 8/6/20 |  Southern Portugal on a Shoestring | Full video: https://youtu.be/clFq20RdBPw The beauty of the Algarve region is impossible to overrate. Looking back on some of my experiences I realized how happy I am that next time I visit I'll be able to converse (once I practice the EU pronunciation rules) with the locals and drastically modify my experience. . Leaving for a year abroad in early 2017 made me a little... frugal. . Luckily I have no issues making friends and traveling budget friendly when I'm alone so I made it all work out. . Check out the story and let me know if you have suggestions for future countries! | — | ||||||
| 6/19/20 |  August Snowboarding & Bungy Jumping in New Zealand | FULL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/av3DO6BOQXM . Snowboarding in August, bungy jumping in the midle of a canyon, switching ecosystems multiple times a day.. Seems like a normal day on the south island of New Zealand! . As you may know, NZ has left a really long lasting imprint on my life as I went there 9 years ago and it hasn't budged from its position in my top 3 countries. . Instead of reading this, you'd be better off hearing me get all excited in the episode :) | — | ||||||
| 6/16/20 |  Glaciers, Beaches & Mountains in Kiwiland (NZ) | FULL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/TbfK_CjUaVM New Zealand shouldn't strike you as anything less than awe inspiring. Sheer untouched nature around every corner, ecosystems that change at the drop of a hat and yet somehow alluring enough to keep you guessing. . Going to NZ I had high expectations that were literally pulverized, blown out of the water and shipped into orbit because the sights, sentiments and disposition (of: do I reeeeeally wanna catch that flight home??) were overwhelming. . Check out the story so I don't waste your time with this text :) | — | ||||||
| 6/11/20 |  The Ultimate Hitchhike - Carretera Austral | FULL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/sARASgV5cYQ Imagine setting out to travel 2000+km with nothing but your thumb and silly dance moves. . Now imagine appealing to some Chilean ladies so much that they let you tag along their trip for 3 days. . I guess today's episode is about my middle name, Fortunato, which I am. . Luck seems to be tightly linked to persistence. Every time I'm at the verge or in the middle of giving up, the tides turn and I get rewarded for my patience. | — | ||||||

| 6/8/20 |  Carretera Austral - Chile's Most Bountiful Highway Pt. 1 | FULL VID: https://youtu.be/oQFBH_tygC0 We all know the journey is more important than the destination so this fabled adventure gets two stories. . Using only my thumb, smile and over the top dance moves I made it from the top to the bottom of Patagonia. Glaciers, mountains, tons of wildlife and a whole lot of introspection were encountered. . Sometimes the toughest trials are where the magic of personal growth and fear mesh to make you a better human person. . I hope you're all safe and speaking words of peace, love & acceptance in these trying times. | — | ||||||
| 6/5/20 |  Cartagena, Minca & More with The Germans | FULL VID: https://youtu.be/gnHYO-zdcdA Travelling alone is probably my favorite way to travel because, well, you're never really alone. You latch on to or acquire fellow travellers as you see fit but most importantly you make lifelong friendships from unplanned moments.. like long bus rides, or simply sitting in the right hostel at the right time :) . Follow my journey from America's first city to some of Colombias best hidden treasures! | — | ||||||
| 5/15/20 |  From Toe to Heel: Road Tripping Italy PT. 1 | Full video: https://youtu.be/kGYDavRj88Y Enjoying the small things is essential to living a happy life, this episode is evidence of that. . Sadly in the narration of stories I often omit certain details like buying kilograms of olives, focaccia and olive oil to bring along for the ride. Know that those moments are what are truly appreciated and that I'm grateful for in the moments that I record and share these stories with you. <3 . From saving a baby bird in Lecce to sleeping in the car by the beach, we managed to pack so much into so little time that I refell in love with Italy twelve times over. . Thanks again (y'all) for your continued support, kind words and most of all, for being yourself :) | — | ||||||
| 5/11/20 |  Visiting my Father's Birthplace (Italy) | FULL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/c3_7K6GPW9k Italy is constantly facing an exodus of their small towns, by the beach or not, due to the appeal of work, money and luxuries that cities can provide. . Where we come from has a huge impact on where we go. Seeing the roots of my father's family, a fully self sufficient farm that needs endless labour yet provides all the necessities of life was so impactful. . It showed me how my brother @marcangelocoppola is taking the old generation's lifestyle and is revamping it to the 21st century (see @valhallamovement) as well as demonstrating that some things needn't have changed with the turn of the century. . That lifestyle is still out there, readily available and more than ever in Italy, being supported by various levels of government - which now offer bursaries (funding) for people willing to move back to the small towns. (wink wink, eco-village enthusiasts) | — | ||||||
| 5/8/20 |  Coasts, Prosciutto & Olives in Calabria FT. Vince | Vince joins me in the studio to tell the first half of his experience in southern Italy. . Despite moving at a fast pace both in the trip and in our storytelling, the small things (mainly olives) tend to be what makes a story memorable. . I believe that Vince and I emphasize on the quality of our experience so much because southern Italy has the (best food in the world) charm of being so incredibly (cheap and virtually tourist-free) welcoming to foreigners who perceive Italy as a country of spaghetti and tourist attractions (see: Rome, Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Venice) . Visit southern Italy :) | — | ||||||
| 5/5/20 |  Italy - Adapting to my new city with jugs of wine | Full Video: https://youtu.be/TnlZMOu7fLw The hardest thing about being away for years at a time is not being able to see, bring or interact with your hometown friends. . Here's a story of my first weekend in Calabria, facing my uncertainty of developing meaningful friendships in a place where I barely spoke the language. . Not all my TOAST posts will be about great times and jolly experiences, some of that knitty gritty stuff we call character development happens in the cracks below. | — | ||||||
| 4/30/20 |  India: Making Eye Contact with a Pooping Man | FULL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/Fnk4lyF2oV0 I'm not trying to feed any stereotypes of any country in my videos, positive or negative... but when I'm put face to face with a man unleashing his bowels by the Taj Mahal.. I can't not report it. . I'm going to leave this episode here as the end of India week, keeping all my favorite bits (Jaipur & Delhi solo) for the next time it resurfaces. . For now I'm kicking off my shoes and jumping into a two week special for ITALY :D | — | ||||||
| 4/27/20 |  Demonetization and Chaos in India | Full Video: https://youtu.be/ew57rQqkccs What happens when the most populous country forcefully devalues its currency? . ATM lines surge to hours-long waits, the population is forced to create alternative forms of payment, people are in panic and cannot hoard their cash.. but what about the backpackers? . Being in the privilege of knowing people in all corners of the world, it didn't affect me as much and I'm grateful to have been but a spectator in one of the biggest moments for the country. | — | ||||||
| 4/23/20 |  Getting Robbed at House Targaryen | FULL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/OClVyPLhiYk Moustache gracias for stopping by. . Basque country is this amazing culturally diverse region of Spain and France that is shrouded in mistery. Why are their buildings so cool - and so different? Where did their (unrelated to any other) language come from? Why does this language have super long (and simple) words like GAZTELUGATXE? . Watch my episode so I can definitely not answer any of those questions. | — | ||||||
| 4/21/20 |  Near Death Experience in Sevilla Ft. Vince | Vince joins me in the studio to tell one of our legendary level tales, the day we could have died... for 5 euros. . Co-telling stories that were co-lived is among the best things we could do - only taking the back seat to actually travelling and making lifelong memories ;) | — | ||||||
| 4/17/20 |  Hitchhiking out of Macedonia's Wonderful Lakeside Town | FULL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/rgc5p2c-XqU I'd like to share some strong words as I'm closing my 6 part Balkans series with a tale from Macedonia. . The region has so much more to offer than I could possibly put into words. It's where East has and continues to meet West, the clashing, meshing and integration of cultures has shaped how we grew as a species. . I hold the Balkans dear to my heart as my favorite region of Europe, which is saying a lot because my next episodes take place in the Iberian peninsula . Stay safe | — | ||||||
| 4/14/20 |  Albania - Impulsively Getting My First Tattoo | Full Video: https://youtu.be/MO3133u1_G0 Most people's story behind their first tattoo goes along the lines of deep meaning, some emotional significance or at least something more than a "Why not?" moment. Sadly, this tiny bundle of crazy decided that a rainy day and a cool hostel are all I needed to get on a tattoo artist's bench for the first time. Hear the story behind my short but sweet visit to Tirana. | — | ||||||
| 4/10/20 |  Sarajevo - The City Where East Meets West | Full Video: https://youtu.be/a5TgS1l5A8Y Where are the crossroads of East and West? . Where can you get a Turkish coffee listening to Islamic prayers then walk down the same cobblestone street to a church? Bosnia is the place. You can stand on a street corner that allows you to see a synagogue, an orthodox church, a catholic church and a mosque simply by pivoting. Hear my quick tale of Sarajevo, a recently war-torn capital in the middle of two historically monolithic empires - the Austro-Hungarians and the Ottomans. | — | ||||||
| 4/7/20 |  Montenegro - Winning Hostel Roulette | Watch the full video: https://youtu.be/4mH28p7n5m8 Sometimes you just hit the jackpot with the place you choose to stay, this was one of those times. . I don't know why I didn't stay longer even though we kept extending our nights as each day came and went, the crew we became is still my favorite among all the hostels I've ever been to. | — | ||||||
| 4/4/20 |  Chasing Waterfalls and Churches in Croatia | Full Video: https://youtu.be/nMOFHNZynsk Did you know the largest standing Roman amphitheatre outside of Rome (the Colosseum) is in Croatia? . Today's episode follows a quick but bountiful journey through Croatia as we raced to catch our flights to Tomorrowland. | — | ||||||
