Hey all! It’s been a little quiet around here lately — we’ve been waiting on a few advertiser approvals, but have been filming up a storm on the East Coast. Our Montreal video will go live on 11/27, and right after that we’ve got something new and exciting coming your way.

Thanks so much for being here! We love reading your comments and hearing your feedback. Cheers to closing out the year strong and bringing you even more videos in 2026!

New video from Copenhagen ➡️ https://youtu.be/Jxd6vju1QB4 Denmark is known as the happiest country in the world. But is that actually true IRL?

As an American, I’ve always been curious to visit this part of the world. I think a lot of American progressives tend to idealize Denmark for what it offers its people—free education, free healthcare, the shortest working hours in Europe, 52 weeks of fully paid maternity leave, stipends for university…the list goes on.

And honestly, when you first land here, it does feel like everything works and nothing hurts—especially in the summertime. But is that actually true?

We went on the ground to find out, diving into Danish culture and talking with locals along the way. Check it out and let me know what you think! See you in the comment section :)

Stills from our latest video in PORTO 🇵🇹, one of the most beautiful cities we’ve had the pleasure of filming ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkp9v...

It’s the second largest city in Portugal — the humble counterpart to cosmopolitan Lisbon — one shaped by its location along the Douro River leading to the Atlantic.

The streets here speak loudly of the opulence of times past and the wealth of the Catholic Church, but today’s Porto is down-to-earth. The city has a long history of being the working-class heart of the country, known for its craftsmanship, shipbuilding, wine-making, trade, and more.

In the video, we check out the stunning architecture of the historic district, try eccentric local foods like the francesinha and cacorrinho, and chat with numerous locals about their experience living in the city.

Check it out! We're looking forward to seeing you in the comments :)
