FOODIE || Ireland - Episode Five (2022) Amazing Ireland is a truly magical and enchanting place like no other! It blew me away by its charm, and boy I was in for a treat with their surprisingly tasty food and drink. Ireland is high on the list for countries to revisit. Have you been there yet? Scotland, featured in this episode, was also a wonderful country to explore and one certainly needs more than a couple weeks. I’m aware of my Scottish heritage, so it was fascinating to imagine life there for my ancient ancestors. Editor’s Notes: The Rough Cut began at 40 minutes and my intention was to get the Final Cut under 20. Success. Lamenting that precious hard drive that was destroyed because nearly all my original footage and photos disappeared from my adventures in both Ireland and Scotland. This made editing this episode extremely difficult, because all I had to pick through and dissect was pre-edited daily videos, all of which had music choreographed to them. This is why you’ll see a high use of voiceovers - unfortunately my audio in the footage is unusable. I made due with my limitations and appreciate the challenge to create a piece that’s dynamic, cohesive and can hold an audience’s short attention span.

FOODIE || Farm-To-Table: Sugar Snap Peas Snap Peas are a delightful-tasting, healthy food choice and great for snacks. Which is your favorite recipe? I prefer to eat them fresh, and also stored some frozen batches for winter cooking. After researching the pickling and fermenting options, it seemed like those were too much work than reward. Sugar Snap Peas are coming to their growing cycle end, as I share this video in early summer. Stay tuned for a flurry of crops: Zucchini, Beans, Corn, Tomatoes, etc. Adventures With Amie is an ongoing quest around the globe.

FOODIE || Farm-To-Table: Eggs (2022) Are you an egg-lover like me? There's no contest between mass-produced store bought eggs vs. free range chickens. Have you ever considered raising your own egg-laying chickens? It will depend on your zone, and you may find it is much easier than you thought! There is a bounty of helpful information and how-to guides educating new chicken owners how to purchase, feed, raise and house chickens. From Do-It-Yourself chicken coops guides or prefab units, the monthly cost is minimal once you past the initial start-up costs. Additionally, your chickens will eat the insects and worms in the yard, they'll enjoy fruit scraps and they also make friendly, outdoor pets. Their eggs are more nutritious and protein-dense, often resulting in 2 yolks, than what you'll consume in mass-produced store bought eggs. I consider myself blessed to get freshly-laid eggs from my brother's chickens every week. The taste is creamy and have far more flavor than store bought. Enjoy this heart-warming video that the kiddos helped me make! Adventures With Amie is an ongoing quest around the globe.

Please enjoy the first of many FOODIE sub-series episodes with home-grown fresh fruits and vegetables, or hand-picked from my nearby cousin's farm. Do you have your own garden?

FOODIE || Belgium - Episode Three (2022) Belgium has so much to offer for being such a small country! I’ve had the pleasure of exploring this beautiful nation 4 times, from 10 days to 2.5 months during each visit. Belgium has not only intrigued my fascination, it has captured my heart via its incredible gastronomy. Enjoy the third of many episodes for this brand new video series.

 This was an extremely challenging video to edit, due to the fact I picked through scraps of 720-1080 premade videos to compose it. Sadly I lost much of my original high quality footage when one of my hard drives was destroyed. Thusly, I did not use much original audio because of competing background music. Belgian beer deserved far more featuring, alas, considering how much amazing beer I sampled, there wasn’t much footage. Adventures With Amie is an ongoing quest around the globe.

FOODIE || Morocco - Episode Two (2022) Morocco is a vibrant, mysterious and beautiful nation to explore! I love it so much and two visits are not enough. Enjoy the second of many episodes for this brand new video series. Together we'll traverse 5 continents together an epicurean quest for culinary treasures. New FOODIE episodes can be watched on Rumble, YouTube and my website: AdventuresWithAmie.com Subscribe for monthly updates so you don't miss an adventure! Editor's Notes: Rough cut was 30 minutes, fine cut 18 minutes and final cut is 16 minutes—shaving down a dynamic, cohesive story for an audience with a limited attention span tests my developing skills. Footage here ranges from 720-1080, as one of my hard drives was destroyed with a lot of my quality footage. Moroccan food is far more decadent than illustrated here; I did not travel to Morocco with the intention of filming a video series about food. All footage is handheld iPhone 7 and on-the-move, so viewers will have to bear with my lack of stabilization; no warp stabilization FX used. I am displeased with a few awkward transitions and have sacrificed perfection for completion as I’ve got a backlog of projects. Music selections were thoughtfully chosen from a limited supply supporting the themes; I do not speak Arabic and am unaware of lyric contents.

FOODIE || Thailand - Episode One Welcome to the land of a thousand smiles which captured both my appetite and my heart. Enjoy the first of many episodes for this brand new video series. Together we'll traverse 5 continents together an epicurean quest for culinary treasures. Subscribe for monthly updates so you don't miss an adventure! Editor's Notes: 5 years of travel throughout Thailand capturing footage on various phones, cameras and GoPros proved challenging to organize, especially since a precious hard drive was destroyed and valuable footage lost forever. This series is cinéma-vérité with minimal use of effects. I was forced to remove the warp stabilizing effect set at a low 2-3% on the majority of my shaky clips because my iMac couldn't handle processing the renders. Most footage is handheld and on-the-move, so viewers will have to bear with my lack of stabilization. There's a thoughtful usage of natural audio throughout the episode, tying together journeys and sub-themes with voiceovers. This balance of storytelling will be employed on every episode.

México Recapped In 10 Minutes Thank you for all who joined me vicariously in México for a month of epic adventures. What a blessing it was to experience the vibrant culture, beautiful scenery and wonderful people of México. Let’s not forget all the culinary treasures! I ate so much delicious food while I was there, it is quite amazing that by the end of a month I’d lost 5 pounds. I appreciate you and all your good wishes, prayers and support. There are several exciting projects in the works now, including: “FOODIE” the video series spanning 5 continents of epicurean adventures, as well as a short documentary highlighting my month in México. Your contributions help make my inspirational storytelling possible. It takes a lot of effort to film, narrate, edit, web design, etc. all on my own, and I also love the challenge. Join me on upcoming adventures and be sure to subscribe for the monthly updates: https://adventureswithamie.com/contact/ Did you miss one of the daily videos I produced from the road on my iPhone? All the fun-loving and lively videos from México are uploaded here: https://adventureswithamie.com/video-posts/ Every bit helps and thank you for your support. Get involved here: https://adventureswithamie.com/contribute/ Thank you again and stay tuned for exciting new projects and adventures! Editors Notes: Cramming one month of adventures and dozens of hours of footage into 10 minutes was far more challenging than I ever knew; I guess I wanted to see if I could do it. Notice that I carefully chose music and the use of natural audio to transition in between cities. Example: Mexico City was a hectic, busy energy that’s revealed in its music and editing style, gliding into a calmer style/music upon arrival to Puebla. I specifically chose not to color grade this piece because a: I wanted the original color to be represented and b: Frankly I got so sick of this project at the end, it was time to complete it and move on. Jump cuts are used often with very minimal effects because I want the journey to stand on its own two feet.

Made It Back To Puerto Peñasco! What an incredible adventure it’s been for a month in Mexico. Thank you for coming with me on this journey. How wonderful it has been to explore culture, scenery, food and of course meeting beautiful people in Mexico.

Cancun, Mexico - Walk & Beach-time - Day Three I sure run into some interesting characters while I travel. During most interactions I am kind and friendly, however some need to be cut off immediately. You may find this video a bit bold with opinions. Frankly I'm out of F's to give about whose triggered. After some glorious time in the sand, sea and sun, I know make my travel back to Northern Mexico for a few more days. Albeit, there isn't much excitement to see Wisconsin weather in the negative degrees, I am excited to enjoy some privacy & solitude, see fam, edit some projects properly and mobilize a plan for Florida.

Join me from Mérida to Cancún, Mexico! Trust thy instincts and vibe. That’s what I did on arrival and no love lost here. At least my hostel owners were super cool! The jingling you hear while I walk is my camo shorts change pocket; each 4 pockets have a purpose, another reason why I stay so organized, don’t lose anything or get pick-pocketed. 6+ hours and change bus ride with a flat tire... all good! I did avoid another injury and my Guardian Angels are watching out for me. When we pulled the bus over on the highway, I had to inspect the situation and almost stepped directly unto a broken bottle with flip flops. Thank ye Jesus!

Relax on the beaches of Cancun, Mexico - Day Two Before heading back into the cold winter of Wisconsin, I am enjoying some gorgeous white sandy beaches, crystal blue water and sunny warm weather. It’s fascinating to observe the cultural nuances and differences in Mexico State-by-State. The overall vibe in Cancun feels noticeably less-friendly than some of the other regions I’ve explored. Regardless, I’m loving the beaches here!

Discover the town of Palenque After a gorgeous jungle ruins self-guided tour, and bandaging up my spill on the slippery rocks, I set out to discover the town of Palenque and found a bustling Saturday marketplace. People are so friendly and happy. I also love breaking bread with strangers! Today I made 2 new Mayan friends and both were impressed with my ability to pronounce their language. How did I know it so well? No sé. ¿Vidas pasadas? Once again I’ve preserved the natural audio for you without music.

Explore the jungle ruins of Palenque Wow, what an experience! The Mayan Ruins of Palenque are as important as Chichen Itza, Uxmal and Tikal in architectural magnificence and historical significance. Thankfully I’ve made it to Chichen Itza before and missed Uxmal and Tikal on this trip. Palenque is located in the Tumbalá mountains, and overlooks the jungle below. The Mayan builders and architects of Palenque balanced landscape with platforms, temples and palaces, which created an artful harmony at the settlement. I shot an hour of footage and it was difficult to cut something so short; what you see here is an appetizer and I specifically didn’t add music because I want you to hear the naked sound of the jungle.

San Cristobal to Palenque San Cristobal is certainly a magic pueblo! I really enjoyed my time in this enchanting little village. Put it on your list of places to visit in Mexico. My bus travels have been quite intrepid here, from broken or non-existent toilets, to constant police interrogations, or AC that won’t turn on for 10 hours through the hot jungle. I realize it’s all part of the adventure! It takes some serious patience, that’s for sure.

Tour the Magnificent Sumidero Canyon - Boat Trip What a glorious day for a river cruise. Mother Nature is sure amazing.

Welcome to San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico I have been charmed on arrival! The air is cleaner up at this elevation in the highlands of Chiapas. The colors pop, people are friendly, great food & wine on the Main Street and lots of happy tourists are here. The staff at my hotel are very nice. Their private kitchen isn’t part of the property’s amenities to me, but they let me use theirs anyway. Up until late in the evening I had a totally private room. The traveler who joined me was quite the intrepid, freedom-loving Adventurer, and we got along swimmingly. We had a good laugh at our bathroom situation: The toilet barely works every 5 minutes per flush, lime corroded the shower head so a trickle disperses in every direction making it really difficult to actually get clean. And within minutes, due to poor drainage, we have an ankle-high lake. Don’t drink the water here...not even ice or brushing your teeth; I’ve run into countless backpackers who got sick. So far so good, a new place to explore in a truly gorgeous and magical region.

People are friendly and seem very happy here.

Day One Exploring Puebla Big vibe shift to a smaller, calmer city compared to Mexico City. Jumped headfirst into delicious mole and wow! The foodie scene in Puebla is proving amazing so far. For once I wasn’t the oldest person in a hostel! I met a very cool 48-year-old, world traveler chick from Scotland and we got along immediately.
