Rapha, a maker of cycling gear, has this ever-growing set of films about their Continentals, long, creative rides. This one, set in Scotland is a love poem both to riding and to the land.
All of them are quite good. Some of my favorites below are Vietnam, Cymru (Wales) and Australia.

American Andrew Julian uses the astounding Blackmagic Cinema to capture, in moving and gorgeous detail, his recent trip to Paris. ”The Quiet City .”
Sound has a special place in our array of senses… often the passage of time is marked by sound (drumbeat, clock tick, cicada, footsteps). So Soundtransit.nl (while almost entirely outmoded by SoundCloud) has in its libraries magical time and space travel technology. Here are some of my favorites.
Flamenco in a park in Sevilla, Espana
Ole Ole at a Football match in San Sebastian
Near Yang-ming Shan in Taipei
Seafood Market in Taiwan
Accordian in Den Hague

Travel is a space that a lot of apps (and sites before them) have tried to find dominance in. Perhaps the search for the one app to rule them all (much like the platonic spaghetti sauce) is never quite in line with the many different modes and moods of the many different travels and travelers.
Dcover ($3.99 in the AppStore) seems to aim to be the tool for thoughtful travelers, eschewing the “expert picks” of so many travel solutions for the “research organizer”, allowing for people who indulge in the fun of planning/imagining their trips to capture and use their research while actually on the trip.
This description makes the app and it’s feel sound so bloodless, but in fact, the polished and pretty interface exude a lot of the feelings we hope to feel while traveling (composure, gorgeous and smart).
Clipping sites and articles that you discover in a way that system smarts to connect them to location and date means there is less fumbling through the guide book, less organizing effort needed by the user.
I am excited to put it to use on my next international trip. I’ll share lots of pics, I promise.
