The duo behind BigTripProductions’ videos aren’t kidding with the “Big Trip” part. Otherwise known as Kevin Allgood and Valerie Marshall, they’re currently on a one-year, round-the-world journey that they’re filming and blogging along the way. They took off on September 5th and warmed up with a trip to London and Amsterdam, before traveling through Turkey and Egypt. While they have a rough plan of where they’re headed, Kevin and Valerie are making up a large part of their route as they go. Their website, BigTripBlog is continually updated with posts from the road and clips of their most recent expeditions, and has all the backstory on their trip planning and previous stops. Kevin is the techie of the two, and has done a excellent job of fleshing out the site with pictures, route maps, embedded videos, and, my favorite, blog posts paired with binaural audio recordings made on location, for an even greater sense of place. Of course, you can always watch their videos right here on Travelistic, too.



Kevin and Valerie have left Egypt and are currently in Nepal heading for a two-week trek in the Annapurna region, where, despite all their gear, blogging on-the-go is, er, a little more challenging, so updates may be thin on the ground until they return to Kathmandu. Stay tuned for new posts and videos.
