Hey there, my name is Ralph Velasco and I'm a location-independent travel photography instructor, author, and veteran international tour organizer. For more than 15 years, I've arranged and led over 120 international small group tours around the world and I'd like to share my experiences and extensive travel knowledge with you.

The goal of this channel is to inspire Baby Boomers and Gen X travelers to hit the road, travel with purpose, and capture great images and video all along the way. To achieve this I post videos offering travel and photography tips, plus other related content that's super easy to digest. I'll also be sharing the incredible food and drink I discover, as well as the amazing adventures and experiences I've had over the years during my more than 40 years of international travels.

Remember DRIFTERS...life’s too short not to travel!

CONNECT WITH ME!

North east of Dordogne is the best. Sarlat is good but too much tourist and the nature is less beautiful

Can you share the coordinates for where to park a car and hop on the la brujita to go to San Cipriano? I can't seem to find the starting point. Thanks for the cool video.
@ContinentalDrifter
@ContinentalDrifter 5 месяцев назад
Sorry, I don’t know how to tell you exactly how to get there, but I can almost guarantee if you ask just about any local in Cali they’d know. It’s just about 45 minutes by car from Cali if I recall.

How much you spend at La Plantation per day
@ContinentalDrifter
@ContinentalDrifter 5 месяцев назад
How much money, or time? We did a cooking class that was perhaps $35 per person and spent about 3-4 hours total as you can get a property tour and do a tasting, as well. Plus they sell a lot of very nice items.

What’s the best time to go? Like 3 days before the weekend of carnival or a full week before ?
@ContinentalDrifter
@ContinentalDrifter 7 месяцев назад
I would think 3 days before is probably enough, unless you really want to get to know the city and explore it in depth.

I totally agree with you on this! When you stay in less places you also get to develop relationships with locals as well. I'll be traveling to Croatia in September and am hopeful that I can stay in the area for at least a month. :)

In 1975, rode that train from Ojinaga /Presidio, TX to Los Mochis. Really primitive back then, burlap bags full of chickens, wooden bench seats, cowboys picking on confused 22 year old gringoes, etc.
