Heli Skiing with TV Land

What is Heli Skiing?

It’s where you take a helicopter to the top of a mountain and go down its fresh powder. To put that into perspective, I was above where they let off the explosives for avalanches. Yep, 13,400 feet above the Rocky Mountains and I made it down in one piece. Above is the proof.

What You Won’t See In My TV Land Video:

You know the lyric in America, The Beautiful where it says “For Purple Mountain Majesties”? Well, now I get it. When I was on top of Potosi Peak, the mountains didn’t look white, they looked purple. I thought my perspective was so unique, until our guide politely called me out, saying, “Well, yeah, that’s why they call it purple mountains!” Duhhhhh. So, next time you’re above the Rockies, don’t be me, be the guide, and point out why America, The Beautiful has that lyric. You’re welcome. 😉

Vacation Creation Premieres Tomorrow!

Well, this is crazy! I’ve been a bit quiet recently as I’ve been caught up in the whirlwind dream that is Vacation Creation. It’s a brand new travel show that premieres tomorrow – Saturday, October 1st – at 10:30am on The CW! Be there or be square!

The premise of the show is to give deserving families a dream vacation…and this is also a dream come true for me! If you’ve been following me, you know I’ve been working hard for years building a travel brand. Whenever someone asked me what the “dream job” was, I said, “Oh, to have a network travel show,” but I never actually thought it would actually happen. It was such a big dream and there just aren’t many travel shows on US television- let alone on a major network. Vacation Creation is all so surreal.

And what makes it even better is that my amazing co-host/living legend Tommy Davidson and I are giving truly deserving people a dream vacation. It’s been inspiring to be around people who have persevered through so much and so fulfilling to end each day of work- not only visiting beautiful places – but giving people an experience that would be extremely hard to replicate on their own.

I am so proud of this show and all the producers, crew, and families who have worked on Vacation Creation. I hope you enjoy the premiere!

Slotzilla in Vegas with TV Land

So, I went to Vegas… and it wasn’t for the parties.

You’re probably wondering.. THEN WHY WOULD YOU GO TO VEGAS? Well.. have you heard of a thing called SLOTZILLA?

No? It’s only this insane zip line that goes from one side of Fremont Street to the other.. at the speed of light! Well, not really, but there are a lot of lights and with enough cocktails it looks like you’re going at warp speed.

Check it out! This is my first video with my new series 100 Best Places airing on TV Land. I’m super excited to be part of the TV Land crew and can’t wait to show you more of the 100 Best Places in the US!

Have a good laugh while I do my best Superman impression. 😉

It’s Official! Ultra Music Festival 2016 Live Stream Announcement

 

It’s official! One week to Ultra and not only will all the best DJ’s from around the world play at Bayfront Park, but we will be live streaming those incredible sets on YouTube! Yes, for the 5th year (4th year with me- but who’s counting?) we’ll be live streaming the Ultra Music Festival. This year will be bigger than ever. There are some really cool things happening, which I can’t say just yet, but seeing as these are normally the announcement videos- you can tell this is going to be different!

What I can tell you is that this Ultra Miami 2016 announcement video was a fun collaboration. Most of the UMFTV crew lives in Amsterdam, so the bits with Hardwell were shot in Europe. My stand up was shot in the United States. I produced the clip, hired the DP, and location scouted for the stand up. I absolutely love production, so it was wonderful to see everything come together. Oh, and there was a pug, and I’m obsessed with pugs, so… yeah, I’m pretty happy with how it came out.

Join the party! It starts everyday at 3pm EST March 18-20. And feel free to tweet me with the hashtag #AnybodyCanWatch xx

FotorCreated2

Hello Vegas!

Right after I got off the plane from Portland, I boarded another one set for Vegas. And yes, another announcement is coming…

I’m thrilled to announce I’m the new host of TV Land’s 100 Best Places!!

I’ll be showing you the coolest spots around the country- most of which you’ve never heard of before. Okay, yes, we all know about Vegas, but do you know about Slotzilla? It’s this awesome zip line that goes from one direction of Fremont Street to the other.

Now, I don’t have a lot of pictures from this shoot, but there’s a lot of video. It will be airing soon, so stay tuned, because I will definitely be updating this blog as soon as the video goes live- my reactions are kind of priceless. 😉
