That’s Me In The New Martin Garrix + Tiesto Video

mgtvid

As some of you may know, I’ve been hosting the Ultra Music Festival live streams for a few years now. One of the perks (besides lots of unnecessary, yet colorful wristbands, partying on giant yachts with famous DJ’s, traveling to exotic locations, having a front row “seat” for the best sets, and making everyone hate me with this parenthetical) is an awesome surprise like this one! I have a cameo in the new Martin Garrix + Tiesto music video The Only Way Is Up.

The video has a slice of life concept. It follows two of the world’s most famous and accomplished DJ’s on their various gigs. One of the stops on their itinerary is the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The clip catches me as I interview Tiesto for the UMFTV YouTube channel; the in-depth interview will be coming out soon.

But until the interview drops, check out the video below and look for me at the 1:56 mark!

What NOT To Do at the DMZ

p1020100The Ultra Family is headed back to Seoul, Korea this week for Ultra Korea, and what better way to celebrate than to reminisce about all the craziness that went down last year!

The festival was amazing (as always): Avicii, Kaskade, Tiesto, Krewella, Adventure Club, among many others graced the stage.

After the festival wrapped, we all went to Octagon nightclub to party some more. Sense a theme with these Ultra festivals?

I was one of the first ones to leave the club- at 6:30am!- and immediately went to the hotel to jump on a tour to the DMZ, or De-Militarized Zone of Korea. This is the place where North and South Korean soldiers are in a stand-off, separating the two countries. With just a quick nap on the bus ride, you can probably guess that I was probably not in the best shape… and I made a few mistakes.

What NOT To Do at the DMZ is our most viewed video to date on How 2 Travelers, and not surprisingly, our most controversial. While breaking rules that can harm people is extremely irresponsible (and NONE of that was done in this video), I think people are attracted to this piece because it’s relatable. We’re not perfect! And we don’t travel perfectly! We have all been there, trying to capture a photo at a museum or making a Queen’s Guard laugh when we are told to do the opposite. This is how people travel- sometimes following the pack, sometimes going off the beaten path. And that’s the goal of our travel series, to make the travel experience as real as possible so that even if you have never been to the specific place, you can relate to the experience.

So, take this video as an entertainment piece. And be the wiser for when you head off to the DMZ.
