Travel vlogs about strange small towns, tiki bars, cemeteries, historical locations, & offbeat Americana — with sarcasm and questionable life choices
Welcome to ‘Splorin — your travel vlog for the weird, wonderful, and wildly underrated corners of America (and occasionally, the open sea).
We explore small towns with big personalities, offbeat roadside attractions, tiki bars that feel like time machines, mid-century modern oddities, quirky festivals, historical cemeteries,
and the kind of places you only find if you take the wrong exit on purpose.
Expect tiki bar travel, hidden gem towns, historic cemeteries, whacky events, Southern Gothic charm, Polynesian pop culture, and off-the-beaten-path adventures — all served with curiosity, dry humor, and just the right amount of "wow".
If you’re into fried pies, forgotten landmarks, umbrella drinks, or cemeteries that whisper back — hit subscribe. No influencers. No hype. Just real places, real stories, and a real urge to keep exploring

Quick thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to subscribe to this channel over the last several weeks. It is definitely a very bittersweet thing....... As much as I love having new people along for the ride, I'm devastated because I know so many of you are joining us after the loss of Adam.
For those of you who don't know, this channel tends to be a little bit more PG-13. When you roll with me, you're going to see things like small-town america, vintage tiki and modern tiki bars, historical cemeteries, and yes, the occasional theme park related video, usually during meetups with friends.
I do a decent amount of man on the street content, mixed in with some documentary style videos, with the exception of my Cemetery videos, I prefer to add a little bit of absurdity to everything because, let's face it, life is absurd.
If this sounds like the type of content that intrigues you, then I hope you will enjoy your time here!
For those who are primarily looking for strictly theme park type content, you might not find enough of that to keep your interest- just want to be honest!
One more thing, over the next couple of weeks, content will be a little sporadic as I have quite a few real-life obligations that will make filming and editing difficult. I have a few things that just need to be edited although they were already filmed, but it will probably be late January before things start speeding up again.
Thanks everybody, I hope all of you have a 2026 full of love, success, and exploration!

The culmination of years of planning...
I was so fortunate to finally experience the amazing Hollywood Forever recently with some good friends. I've been waiting years to make this pilgrimage and I can't wait to go back... Video of the trip is now up on the YT channel... If you get the chance, you need to experience this place for yourself!

Just set up the Community settings on here to allow for others to post as well (sorry..m thought I had already done that)!
Got something travel or community related? Feel free to start a conversation! Need a recommendation ( or have one)? Go for it!
Now here is a picture with Jack Black from two weeks ago because I don't really have a better photo to add to this post that would make any more sense than this one ;)

It's not often I can say that I'm adding a video involving an encounter with a wild coyote, or the hunt for a missing grave of a Cleveland horror legend...
Posted a video last night and it's a video that I've been wanting to make for years...
Forest Lawn isn't just a cemetery - it's the final resting place of and memorial to so many figures who had a true impact on my life.
On top of that, it is also an absolutely beautiful outdoor art installation unlike anything you've ever seen before!

The breathtaking view from Al Jolson's monument in Hillside Memorial Park in LA nearly knocked the breath outta me...
@AdventuresByGeorge and I got to visit the final resting places of the late, great entertainer as well as Leonard Nimoy, Milton Berle, Friz Freleng, Jack Benny, and so many other Jewish legends who helped to build Hollywood. Can't wait to go back...
Take a look if you haven't already- I've never seen this type of beauty in a cemetery before!

T-Minus 48 hours until the Liberty Belle turns the bend...I have some thoughts that probably won't be popular with everyone, and I'm sure you have some thoughts as well!

I realized today that it's been a while since I did anything that wasn't "topic (or location) based", and just kinda' made things a bit more personal so I'm gonna remedy that! What questions would you like me to answer? Can be about the channel, about specific places/events, or about me personally! Put your questions below and I'll answer what I can on a new video!

Premiering the Day 3 video from our Carnival Freedom cruise tonight at 8pm EST - This is the one where the ship caught fire (again). This vid will give you an uncensored play-by-play of how things evolved from the initial rumblings that something was wrong up until after the fire was put out and I was fortunate enough to get the first video of what remained of the whale tail. I'll be in the chat while the video premieres and I hope to see you there too!
