The hardest thing about visiting Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, is to see how so many locals struggle. They work harder and longer hours than any people I’ve come across anywhere in the world but have very little to show for it. A full time job can pay as little as $200 monthly! Luckily as a foreigner who can earn a lot more than that where I to go back to work, I’m in a position to make someone’s day from time to time.

The Republic of Pridnestrovie or Transnistra, as it's known in English, is an unrecognized country straddling the Dniester river sandwiched between Moldova and Ukraine. The country declared independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union. However Moldova did not take kindly to this and a war ensue. I visited this capital with the communist hammer and sickle in its national flag as it's one of a handful of post-Soviet unresolved land disputes. The country was much less corrupt than I expected and I really enjoyed swimming in the Dniester river, visiting the 14th century fort in Bender, meeting the locals and the general Soviet aura that looms large over the place. See that and more in the film.

Day 2 of my month long tour of Thailand by motorbike. I set out from Nakhon Sawan, drive through Kamphaeng Phet and see some amazing old Buddha ruins before heading for Sukothai. After several pitstops at PTT gas-stations (they're #1), a couple of dead python snakes and a few wrong turns which sent me through Ramkhanheng national park I arrive at Thailand's ancient capital Sukothai. I find a hotel, eat my favorite Thai dish, grab some supplies at 7/11 before I head for the amazing ruins of the old city (or Muang gao as the city is called in Thai). Renting a bicycle is the best way to cover the most amount of ground in the shortest amount for time here. One bicycle costs 30 baht for the whole day! Entrance to the main site with the highest number of ruins cost 100 baht. There's also a second site i highly recommend visiting about 1km from the old city. There entrance also cost 100 baht. I chose to stay at a hotel next to the ruins in Sukothai's old town.

Day 3 of my month long tour of Thailand by motorbike. I head West from Sukothai towards Mae Sot on the Burmese border. From there i head North along the border and encounter a camp with refugees from Myanmar on the road to Mae Sariang. After surviving the ride up and down the mountain in a heavy thunderstorm I go hunting for a gas station. Turns out there are none and I head in to a Thai village to hunt for gasoline. What I find is the coolest gas station ever!

Day 5 of my month long tour of Thailand by motorbike. I head out from Mae Hong Son on the hunt for a hidden village of long neck hilltribe people on the Burmese border. The long neck people are refugees who fled Myanmar in 1992. They're not allowed to work legally in Thailand but survive selling their handicrafts in their own village market. This I had to see. Se what the long neck women are like and the amazing nature that surrounds their village in the mountains of Northern Thailand. Driving through the Thai jungle past picturesque ricefields on a motorbike crossing rivers was an event in and of itself.

Day 6 of my month long tour of Thailand by motorbike. I drive on top of one of Thailand's highest mountains on the outskirt of Pai. As I get caught in the rain once again coming down from the mountain I find a hotel in Pai city. I change my clothes and drive through some amazing Thai villages and rice fields to a waterfall where I 'fall' in love with more than just the river.

Day 7 of my month long tour of Thailand by motorbike. I leave Pai for the outskirts of Chiang Mai where I encounter some very nice ladies selling chicken. They watch my motorbike and I go exploring the Chiang Mai jungle. Chiang Mai's greatest secret is not within the city itself but outside. Find out more in this weeks' episode.

Day 8 of my tour of Thailand by motorbike. I drive over the most amazing mountains I've ever crossed between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. The fog is thick, it's freezing cold, I'm wet as hell from being once again assaulted by Thailand's torrential rain. But I'm loving it. I find a village on top of the highest mountain peak and investigate. I then soldier on down the other side towards Chiang Rai. In Chiang Rai I visit the city's number one tourist attraction; the classic White Temple and talk to some local Thais around town. This former capital of the Kingdom of Lanna is a relatively small city but proved rather lively 7 days a week.

Day 10 of my tour of Thailand by motorbike. I leave Nan to trail along the border with Laos, over mountains, waterfalls and through pineapple farms to Loei. I take the longest route possible and spend 9 hours driving until it gets pitch black. I don't arrive at the rubber farm before after sunset.

STALINGRAD, RUSSIA: The city that changed the course of European as well as world history is today known as Volgograd. The Germans had over a Million men here at the peak of the conflict in late 1942. The Soviets poured in considerably more. The dream of a German empire died here at the banks of the Volga river. The same banks instead gave birth to the dream of a Soviet empire. This is where it all turned around for the Soviet Union. The victory here propelled the Red Army forward to re-conquer the territories lost in the the 1941-42 season and eventually all the way to Berlin. The historical significance of Stalingrad was palpable as I touched down at the airport. The rest is not history as they say but in the film above.

MUMBAI, INDIA: Dharavi, India's biggest slum, isn't exactly known for being a place where you can mingle with the locals over a couple of cold ones. But I'm not one to shy away from a challenge. I therefore took it upon myself to find a watering hole in Mumbai's roughest neighborhood so I could meet some local residents and hear their stories. Did I succeed or was this one Indian adventure even beyond the scope of this intrepid Northman? Find out in this episode where I go exploring and meeting the people of Dharavi.

INDIA, NEW DELHI: First night out in India and already fell for a scam. Karl Rock never warned me about this one! Is he colluding with these Indian scammers? ???? If any of you do watch Karl Rock's scam videos make sure to inquire as to why he doesn't cover this most sinister of all beer crimes. After failing to find a street stall to drink at we enlisted a rickshaw driver to take us to one. He dropped us off in a surreal area where we spotted a street stall with goats tethered to a railing. The owner waved us in and his customers encouraged us to join them. Awesome we thought and sat down. After a minute however we quickly realized that all wasn’t as it seemed. . . We’d been scammed by the Indian merchant. But how?

INDIA, NEW DELHI: I had mixed feelings about leaving Delhi and heading towards Rajasthan. I was truly excited to discover and explore a new state full of new colors and exotic foods but I wasn’t looking forward to the bus ride there. Indian buses are horrible I’ve been lead to believe and I honestly thought the journey was going to be a true nightmare. Oh boy how wrong I was. What ensued was one of the most entertaining yet comfortable bus journeys I’ve ever been on. So would you dare ride on this Indian bus? And what would you've done with the cookie? Let me hear it in the comment section. Also major props to the nice gentleman who was responsible for bringing the cookies. What a generous man. Since this video was taped I've had many bus journeys throughout India and they haven't all been as fun and comfortable as this one. Still, for anyone considering traveling from one Indian city to another, using the sleeper bus are generally a quite comfortable undertaking.

INDIA, NEW DELHI: I arrived in India with a fairly open mind, hell bent on creating the most entertaining videos YouTube has ever seen from the country. In that process I naturally had to put myself in a lot of uncomfortable situations. The video you're about to see which was shot at a New Delhi festival near the Red Fort was such a situation, In fact it was such a mistake, such a horrible experience that I felt like the Grim Reaper was upon me. So what went down and how did I get into this incredibly uncomfortable situation?

UDAIPUR, INDIA: Traveling in India had been a a pleasure up until this stage. Despite friends who've previously been to the country and you guys in the YouTube comment sections begging us to not travel on private sleep er buses we'd never been on a bad one. Leaving Udaipur for Ahmedabad though that was all about to change....

INDIA, RAJASTHAN: After finding a Royal Enfield to rent for a few days we set out from Udaipur in the direction of Kumbhalgarh fort. The journey began at 5:00 AM in pitch black darkness and in freezing temperatures. We were ill prepared. As the hours went on though it was clear that this was about to become one of the greatest days not only of my India adventure, but in my whole world travel career.

INDIA, UDAIPUR: Not all hotel hunts end well. Case in point, this one. After wandering the streets of Udaipur looking for a hotel that wasn't fully booked we found ourselves down by the lake where one of India's most famous 5 star hotels is located. The Taj Lake Palace of Udaipur is famous as it was featured in the James Bond movie Octopussy. Thinking we could do with a night of reveling in luxury after all the traveling, we decided to break our budget and spend the night at this epic looking island hotel. But the hotel itself had other plans....

INDIA, JAIPUR: This was a journey that kept giving. Scams, liquor store pit-stops, failed approaches and action from start to finish. All I can say is that traveling in India is something else and downtown Jaipur is no exception to this rule.

INDIA, JAIPUR: The bus journey through Hindustan continues. After leaving Jaipur in the direction of Jodhpur I decided to stick my head outside the bus window. There I saw a familiar character. Enjoying the fresh breeze in my long luscious locks I decided to continue hanging out the window and it was then that I noticed to my shock and horror...... the baddest biggest thug in all of Hindustan.

INDIA, JAIPUR: Having ridden motorbikes extensively throughout Asia and Europe I was mighty excited about my first journey in India. But first we had to find one to rent. Then we had to find out where to go. Luckily in Rajasthan there's an epic adventure lurking behind every corner and we didn't have to drive very far before we encountered some things you will never see anywhere else but in India.

INDIA, NEW DELHI: Finding a place to drink can be hard in New Delhi. It's even harder to find a place to do so in the streets of India's capital. So what to do? Find the nearest supermarket, make your own little watering hole and strike up some conversations with the locals.

INDIA, AHMEDABAD: You have to try Gujarati food people have been tellin me ever since I touched down in Ahmedabad. So I thought I would do just that by going to the famous Manekchok Streetfood market which opens at night. What I wasn't anticipating though was that my first dish there would be Punjabi. After a little trouble ordering due to my non-existant Hindi language skills I finally was served a delicious Veg Manchurian.

INDIA, AHMEDABAD: After finishing only half of my Veg Manchurian which turned out to be just a simple rice dish I still had lots of space left to try the Indian street pizza stall right next to it. So how do they make pizza in India without a pizza oven? Human ingenuity always finds a way....
