The 2016 Icelandic presidential election got overshadowed by the fervor behind Iceland’s win over England in the Euro 2016. Even so, in a country where 90% voter turnout is not unusual, football (soccer) reigns. While the brief moment of world fame faded a week later when the island nation’s team took a beating by France, […]
It’s sunny and breezy in Reykjavik when I realize I’m famished, and I don’t have a lot of time to eat. I wander the streets, looking for a quick bite at a cafe or street food vendor when I see a huge line (queue here in Europe) standing outside a tiny little house. The is […]
Just 45 minutes from Iceland’s capitol, Reykjavik, visitors to the island nation fly into Keflavik International Airport. First time visitors will find a modest airport without large waiting areas nor device charging stations or large food court or shopping areas. It’s what you would expect to find at a small rural town in any modern […]
I’ve always wanted to go to Iceland. What about you? Of course, I want to ride my motorcycle from one end of the island to the other, border to border. Not any motorcycle, my motorcycle, Doc. After appearing at the final Travel & Adventure Show in Philadelphia in March, and in anticipation of a summer […]
Veteran Moto-journlist, Television Host, and Philanthropist Any chance I get to spend time with the legendary Neale Bayly, I cherish and relish the experience. Now you can too. It’s hard to say, but this ranks as one of my top guests, so far, on the WorldRider Podcast (who woulda thought). Truly, the guests keep getting […]
I am so pleased to share some exciting news. I’ve been asked to join an exclusive ride and tour of Portugal. The best part is, up to 10 other riders can join me—maybe you? As guest of Portugal Motorcycle Tours, I will ride Doc, the same bike I rode around the world, and serve as […]

Hall of Fame Speaker and anthropologist adventurer, Jeff shares incredible stories from the jungles of Peru to the endless pampas and glacier-studded landscapes of Patagonia. […]
Okay. So here’s the deal: I left my bike in New Jersey with my friend Tim. Why? Because the journey continues this summer. Where? Likely Iceland, the Nordic, perhaps a stopover in Russia, Belarus, and somewhere else. I ultimately will make it to Portugal to meet up with my new friend Miguel and Portugal Motorcycle […]
Before I make my way one last time across this grand country, I head north to New York City with a stop along the way to Tim’s lake house in Northern New Jersey where I drop off the FORKS Van and take the train into Manhattan. With a few meetings lined up for later in […]
It started in San Diego in January. I just finished this weekend in Philadelphia. I’ve enjoyed living a somewhat gypsy nomad existence over the past three months joining my new friends at The Travel & Adventure Shows. Since the San Diego show I’ve been to Chicago, Dallas, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco and now […]
