I am more worldly than 95% of my friends, so I often get hit up by people needing travel advice, wanting to ask me about certain places, and looking for hook ups abroad. I just wanted to show y’all the shit that I have to deal with on a daily basis. I wish I could say that this girl was joking, but she wasn’t. This is completely serious. I started off teasing, but when she didn’t clue in… I just had to run with it! For the record, it would take 24 hours to drive from Florida to Nebraska. Oh, and you know I fucking love Miami.

I Have No Words For This.

Please don’t add me on Facebook. If you want to talk, hit me up on my Twitter. I try to keep my FB for friends and family only.

My homie Mugz is overseas right now on vacation in Beirut, Lebanon. He sent me this quick video clip to share with the fans. The dude is on a jet ski in the Mediterranean Sea being driving around by a sexy lady friend – needless to say, life is good!

Remember when some of my other friends sent love from England and Hawaii?

Flashback – Venice.

When I was an 18 year old freshman attending Florida International University in Miami, I did something that will likely (forever) remain one of the most spontaneous things that I will ever do. On a Wednesday night, I was bored in my dorm room browsing Expedia for cheap flights (just out of curiosity) and I came across the best deal I have ever seen. For $450, with all taxes and fees included, I could fly round trip from Miami, Florida to Venice, Italy for 6 days. The only catch was that the flight departed in 12 hours, on Thursday morning. I was immediately excited and knew that I wanted to go, because travel is one of my favorite things in life, but I had no one to go with. Fortunately, my roommate had a friend over at the time who overheard my excitement. His name was Jimmy. This was the first time I had ever met him – but he was equally as crazy as me – so we flipped a coin to decide if we would take the trip or not. The coin flip determined that we would book the flights, and the rest is history. Less than 24 hours later we landed in Venice – having told no family members back home about our travel plans, and having shown complete disregard for the classes we should have been attending. Over the next 5 days we explored the mazes of canals that make up the city, we drunkenly walked out on a $800 bar tab after drinking WAY more than we could afford, we hopped a train to Milan to eat pizza, and we slept on the ground outside in Saint Mark’s Square after missing the last bus to our hotel – which is, by the way, not very comfortable at all in January. HAHA! Needless to say, this was a CRAZY trip. Check some of the photos.

Plattsburgh, New York.

Plattsburgh is a small town in the state of New York, about a thirty minute drive south of the USA/Canada border. I took a trip down there yesterday to check out the beach on Lake Champlain. It was a nice little get away from Montreal and the weather was fucking great. Also, I discovered a canned beverage called Twisted Tea – which is basically iced tea with alcohol. They need to start selling that shit up here! God bless America and their cheap alcohol HAHA. Check the photos.

Oka.

For the second time ever, and in recent weeks, I ventured outside the city of Montreal. This time I took a trip to Oka, Quebec which is a pretty dope beach on the northern bank of the Ottawa River. Laying out and smoking made for a perfect Sunday and the weather was amazing. I didn’t really take many photos, but I did get these two.

Tremblant.

Last weekend I went to Tremblant for a day trip with some friends. This was my first time venturing out of the city of Montreal since I moved here a year ago. It was nice to finally check out the Quebec “countryside” – even if it was only a 1.5 hour drive. If you aren’t familiar with the area, Tremblant is ski village that is very similar to Whistler in BC. Since it’s summer we obviously couldn’t go snowboarding or anything, but we did do all the other “tourist” stuff. We rode these awesome custom bike like things down the mountain on a luge track and played a game of mini golf. We also took a photo on the large wooden chair in the center of the village and ate maple syrup on snow. Quebec produces A LOT of maple syrup and pouring hot maple syrup on snow (which turns it into a taffy like substance that you can eat off of a stick) is a local treat! Check the photos.

Flashback – Prague.

afrotoe — Tue, 18 May 2010 22:37:19 +0000

It’s been a while since I made a Flashback entry. If you’re new to my blog, a Flashback post is basically how I share photos from something that took place before I started this blog – usually that something is travel. This time, I will let you take a look at a trip I took to Prague, Czech Republic about 3 years ago. Apologies for the low quality photos – I really need to find where I have stored all of my old photos. I think I might have lost them all, what a shame! Anyways… Prague is definitely one of my favorite cities in Europe. Since this city suffered A LOT less damage during World War 2 than most cities in Europe, all of the architecture is OLD AS FUCK. It’s beautiful. If you follow me on Twitter you would have heard me mention that I was supposed to be back in Prague next week, but my trip got canceled last minute due to a scheduling conflict. Enough of that though – just check the photos.

The last two photos are from when I was strapped into a harness and essentially hung below a helium balloon high above the Vltava River for an amazing view of the city. You probably would’ve never guessed that I’m actually terrified of heights – that doesn’t mean I let it stop me from doing cool shit though!

Holding It Down.

I have been working on this blog for less than a year now, but things have progressed super quickly for me. Y’all seem to really like the content that I am sharing – and I appreciate that for sure. I now have people from all over the world who check back every day religiously. Thanks to everyone for holding it down for me, I try to travel a lot but I simply cannot be everywhere at once… I am but one man.

Tramp Stamp.

This photo didn’t qualify for Toes Hoes this month because there is obviously too much clothing still on the chick.. but I still thought I would share. I actually wasn’t at the party where this photo was taken because I was in Las Vegas – but I was stoked to see that people here were still holding it down for me.

Pool Parties.

My new Blackberry had a short lived life (if you haven’t heard from me on BBM… this is why) after falling into the pool in Las Vegas, so I lost a lot of my photos from the trip – luckily my friends also took some – here are some random shots from the amazing pool parties we attended!

Las Vegas – Recap.

I finally got a chance to edit together all of the footage from my 3 nights in Las Vegas. Most of this was shot at The Palms Pool and at Wet Republic – both awesome parties! Needless to say… I had a fucking fun time.
