Vagabonding
If you have time to kill and are feeling that armchair traveler urge, check out the website vagabonding which details one dude's year-long trip around the world.

Here he gives recipes from his cooking course in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Suzi and I did one and it was awesome. You get an apron and a sweet little stove top with all of the prepped ingredients that you basically just mix together and cook. Fool proof, pretty much. The best part is that you make like six dishes and they you sit around and eat them! Mmmm.

Here, he's in paradise in Malawi.

Here, he details the "worst bus ride ever" (the kind of stories that I Lerv).

The site's video archives are especially great. The best part about this all is that it seems that he updated as he moved along from place to place, when the memories were still fresh.
