Career/Finance/Surf/Overlanding without choosing one over the other
Satchmo JazzFEST in New Orleans
In this episode I travel from Europe to New Orleans for the first time where I met Joy who travelled from Hawaii and we spend the week exploring the city, eating oysters, going to live music shows and attending the festival.
I am an American surfer who moved from Hawaii to Europe temporarily to explore the backroads of Europe and surf every break. To do this I bought a Land Rover Defender as most of the time it is about the journey more than the destination.
This channel is all about balancing career, finance, and living life to the fullest. If done correctly, you should not have to sacrifice one for the other.

At the beginning of the second day hikers above us kick loose a basketball sized boulder that ...

Escape to Tenerife

I was so over cold snowy wet weather and decided to book a flight to the Canary Islands and possibly get some surf at the same time.

In this episode I continue my overland journey from Barcelona to Germany. Somewhere in France in the middle of the night in the rain, the defender loses all power requiring me to pull over to the side of the road and perform roadside diagnosis.

Just add voice in the video and you will reach more people. People would love to watch videos for sure. Honestly, it is a bit boring to watch a video without any sound on it.
Thank you for your comment, based on your advice i have pivoted my format and starting soon I will feature less driving videos and more of a vlog format. I have been wanting to do this for a while and your comment gave me the motivation needed to do it.
❤❤😮i love you guys ❤️
Thank you! stay tuned as we traveled all over France, UK, Italy and Germany this summer.
Yummmy
It was!
New here, looks awesome
Thanks and welcome
Reduce sugar and flour to only 1cup each add 1egg and you can omit baking powder butter can be melted if you reduce sugar and flour
Thanks for the tips!
It looks good, but I wish you had dished it up so we could see what it looks like in the middle after cooking.
Sorry about that, I will do that next time!
12 years since his death come 4th of July- he was a better short- order cook than Me
Looks really good! 😋 That topping is great on some sliced peaches too. Or probably any sweetened fruit you'd want to use. Endless possibilities 😊
Great idea!!
we are very suprised to find this Video! But thank you so much for your kind words
Mark is a craftsman in the motorcycle industry and they are hard to find in any industry.
Thank you for sharing a wonderful delicious recipe. The topping was superb! 😊
Thank you!
I always add a tsp. of lemon juice to the berries and sugar. I don't know why but it just tastes better that way imo. You made an amazing cobbler thanks for the video!
Great advice, I will do that this summer.
You made a. beautiful blackberry cobbler. I gotta try when blackberries come in this summer. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
If the butter was frozen hard, you could have used a grater to add the butter to tge flour. Did you use any cinnamon or lemon juice to the recipe (vs water for moisture).
Ah, great advice! I will keep that in mind for future recipes. I have used lemon juice in my apple pies but haven't tried it in my cobbler. Thank you for watching and your great advice.
Excellent recipe....thanks and God bless ya
Thank you for watching! I will share my family apple pie recipe soon so stay tuned!
Outstanding....thanks.@@thesophisticatedsurfer4280
Awesome....will do. Thanks@@thesophisticatedsurfer4280
Promo`SM 😞
Ok, I guess I was the only one who saw it. At about 3:25 something flew into the bowl as you were stirring. I tried to catch it but I couldn't pause fast enough. I'm just wondering what it was? I don't care, except I'm curious. This sounds tasty! Thanks!
That was just brown sugar clump coming to the surface. Thanks for watchiing!
That was extra protein!
I. Don’t. Like. Black.berry. Cobbler. But. My. Sole. Mate. Did. I. Love. Him. Very. Much. God. Bless❤❤
My. My. Man. My. Sole. Mate. He. Was. Good At. Makes. All. Kind. Of. Cakes And. Pies. They. Was. Real. Good. I. Missed. Him. So. Much. God. Bless❤
My Mother she use make BlackBerry Cobbler it Looks Delicious Thumbs up we enjoy it
Thank you for watching I think I will reduce the sugar a little this summer.
Looks Delicious Thumbs up ❤❤My Mother use make BlackCobber Pie it was good
I was in Karlovy Vary in 1980 in Moskua Hotel , i was 14 ! Sorry , my english is very bad 🙂
We loved our stay there. Very beautiful and walkable. Your English is great!
I found a rusty ratty 1970 Norton commando model S scrambler high pipe version down my block in in a hoarders house shed. The same bike Cint Eastwood is pictured on during the making of kellys heroes. some parts were missing and the cylinders were off the bike. Paid 1000 dollars and me and the wife pushed it home. Its going to be expensive though. I stripped it down and parts are everywhere. cleaning and painting as I go. I have access to a bead blaster at work and just a warm place to do some painting of little stuff. The guy promised me he would find the missing items but we only found half so parts are easy to find on ebay. 600 bucks worth and some special tools too. And then theres Andover Norton at 3000 dollars and counting but Im having fun. I look at it this way, Im going to Norton school. On Craigs list there is the same Norton in Laconia NH for 6,500. looks complete. hmmm
They are beautiful and addictive. Just wait until your first ride! These bike are fun to ride, the bottom half torque is unmatched, and head turners. Great sounding bike too.
Why are you using a liquid measure with the dry ingredients?
Because I am limited to using what I have. I'm definitely not a professional!
Silly
That's a lot of driving for a Defender lol! Well done guys.
Thank you, we love traveling in our defender.
I grate the butter…..I would also add buttermilk instead of water and a tsp of vanilla extract to the berries while they’re soaking in the sugar.
Great advice! I will give test a try this summer. Thanks!
Bake in a larger pan to help prevent run over.
Looks good
Thank you, give it a try!
❤
Some pressure wash ,with proper shoes for your feet reqd
I have a pressure washer in the shed, definitely going to use it
I'm all for that. Dig in!
Your bacon would taste so much better if you cooked it in the oven.
I totally agree but since I was going to use a pan for the potatoes and eggs and need grease, I fried the bacon. Less messy in the oven for sure!
Very Nice! No Bread?
I do not eat much bread but when I do it is either sweet bread or Japanese white bread.
Looks great! Now, where is the alcoholic breakfast!?
That is coming very soon. I'm thinking it will definitely involve mimosas and waffles.....
Looks amazing
Thank you! It is my go to breakfast but hard to eat that heavy often.
Yummmmmmmmyyyyyyyy❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, it is a great way to start a lazy day!
Please get some tennis shoes, your going to get hurt.
Having lived in Hawaii most of my life we tend do do more in slippas than most.
that first break i think is called "Quaters" ie it's outside the staff quarters for that resort
Most of the breaks we surfed this trip were really great. Our surf guide was the best and spot on his predictions.
Get yourself a pastry cutter to cut butter in. Or for top crumbs. Looks delish!
That is great advice! I will look for one next time I go shopping.
Looks great and yummy 👍
It was! Thank you!

Man making a homemade crust ...cobbler yum. 😋 Blackberry Cobbler is the best.
Thank you! I grew up with some great mentors when it came to baking. I plan to make an apple pie (my specialty) soon, stay tuned.
Blackberry cobbler...my favorite!
If you try the recipe let me know how it turns out!
Hello, new here. We love your cooking style. Your recipe looks very delicious. Red Cardinal Kitchen.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback and will try to film some other recipes i have learned over the years. I am rather new to cooking so hope I can learn as I go.
That experience sux big time, but hey you made it anyway and the good times will outweigh the bad. There is a moral to this story and you said so yourself many times. "To cut a long story short...", you just have to do the same with your boards and stop riding mals!!!
If I went back to riding shortboards I would be taking the easy way out! Happy to teach how to take a 12ft face drop on a 9ft longboard.... not as easy as I make it look. :)
A six-foot swell is about my limit these days and even at that size, I would prefer to have a channel to paddle out in or better still a boat drop off. So would be happy just see footage of mals taking on 12-foot waves. Mals are fun and I'm sure I will reach the point where a mal will become my go to board but hoping to put it off for as long as possible.@@thesophisticatedsurfer4280
Yeah lime is the go and works wonders on sea urchin spines as well. I was doubtful about it's effectiveness at first, but it seems to work well. Follow up with more conventional wound treatment. I had a similar reef walk after my very first wave of the trip last year. Thanks for posting these videos. Looks like you had a fun trip. Had a similar charter last year and 10 days out from going again.
I would definitely do it again.
You need a stock pot! But looks good!
Teresa, you are absolutely right! Unfortunately I always find that out during or after I'm cooking! All my good kitchen stuff is still in Hawaii.
👍 promo sm
