Blog Entry: Check out our latest video for Lonely Planet... You've seen the "rough" version earlier from our Las Vegas trip ( I know, you're sick of Vegas already! ) but I just wanted to share the whole premise of this video. Inspired by " Experimental Travel " ( Rachael Antony and Joel Henry ), a book that dishes out alternative and playful ways of making the travel experience unique, immersive, and to say the least, quirky.  Examples are exploring your own town by becoming a weekend backpacker - stay in a hostel, gallivant with other backpackers and see your town through their eyes, ...risk becoming either a local stranger or a strange local ...?), or finding a dog and letting the dog take you for a walk! (Good luck trying that with Fox, whose favorite walk is to the car).   Whether it's the Tenderloin or Tunisia, there are creative ways to explore and experience a place other than the classic travel routes.   So, back to Vegas, one of the world's high-priced travel destination, and what did I do? Spend as little - most cases none - as possible.  Now, on with the show...  Enjoy! http://lonelyplanet.tv/Clip.aspx?key=1591A0A2EB2A1DF4 Subscribe now if you haven't yet.
