Bay Area Local Leaves For the Open Road

by | Jul 24, 2017 | Travel, Film, Photography | 0 comments

Film Director, Blogger, and Artist Michael Merto surprises me when he reveals he will be leaving the Bay Area and traveling the United States for the rest of the year and vlogging about it! Not by airplane… by car!

I have to admit, my wife and I are hooked. Michael’s vlogs range anywhere from 7 to 12 minutes which feels just about right. His humor is contagious and he captures the lifeblood of the places he visits. I feel like I’m right there with him in the car. One particular episode that I enjoyed is his visit through Fargo North Dakota in “Lost and Found and a Woodchipper”. The people, architecture, and culture… I  became totally immersed.

Check out his YouTube Channel for more videos. Can’t wait to see more!
