Anton and Norway

Guess I’m going to Norway!

Actually, Barcelona in a month. But in the meantime, I’ve run into a travel blogger at the top of his game:

This traveler, documentor, videographer, and journalist is worth highlighting for one reason: he’s really, really good. I used to watch many Rick Steves travel videos which are top of the line for one simple reason: he gives you history and culture on top of the sites. In other words, Rick Steves gives meaning on top of beauty. This man, Anton, does the same. I’ve seen many travel bloggers who present the sites but are ignorant of the depths of significance. What a loss.

So, without further ado, after having watched a total of one of this man’s productions, I recommend Anton. And Norway!!

Typically before a vacation to a cultural destination, I soak in history and other nerdy things, so I can bring meaning with me. But, life calls, and I’ve been too busy this time. As a head nod to good intent, here is one thing I’ve learned: Barcelona is home to the world’s longest-running construction project, La Sagrada Familia.

More to come on that!
