For those who haven’t been following me on twitter or facebook, I’ll be leaving my house to go to Vancouver in less than six hours. I’ll be spending my time with Irtiza and Sensei as well as hoping to meet some awesome people along the way.

Here are some amazing videos of Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies - both of which I plan on seeing.

(note: videos were not produced by Leechon)

Keep an eye open. I’ll be posting up Browntourage “intakes” as the trip progresses inshaAllah.

I got back from Toronto recently and have spent the last couple days decompressing. Starting a trip off with 24 hrs of no sleep followed by 10 days where one gets less than five hrs of sleep a day takes a toll on you - not to mention the effect it has on your sleeping patterns.

I’ve finally caught up with my sleep and getting ready for another trip which would be this Monday - this time to Vancouver!

Today I managed to put up some “in-takes” of browntourage. Watch and comment!

Recently on Facebook I posted up a pic to get people’s feedback and responses on ways to improve the Browntourage series. In my opinion a great dialog took place and found four ways to improve the series in the next upcoming episodes.

Before I lay out the points, the reason I’ve started this series is:

I travel a lot. At least once a month I’m flying out to somewhere. There are amazing people in each of these places and I learn a lot of things from them. I also see many beautiful things - stuff that you wouldn’t see unless you left your home.

This series is my way of sharing what I’ve seen and the people I’ve met.

The improvement points are:

• Set naming structure in accordance with the premise of the series. Change “Episode” to “Trip”

• Keep up the coherency of the episodes/trips. Communicate where I’m headed, who I’m with, and why I’m with that person.

• Don’t just include people, but include lot of people who add substance and content to the episode.

• Where visuals failed to communicate what’s going on, use a narrative to structure a story/plot to enhance it and have it be more engaging.

You’re more than welcome to add to these points inshaAlah.
