Man Versus Shark

Man versus shark. Man wins. Sort of.

This video shows the moment a man wearing a GoPro jumped into Sydney Harbour and encountered a great white shark. Almost immediately after surfacing, his friend above can be seen pointing and heard shouting the one word no one wants to hear in Australia: "Shark! Shark!"

The video has been titled "Man Fights off Great White Shark in Sydney Harbour", which is a touch misleading. As you'll see, what the man actually does is flail hysterically, utter a few mortal, gurgled shrieks, while the shark takes a couple of nonchalant glances before retreating back into the depths.

Still, great video.

Exploring Kolmanskop: Namibia’s Ghost Town in the Desert

Image
I ducked beneath the barrier and jogged across a nearby sand dune. When I reached the first derelict building, I looked behind me and shot Dave an exhilarated grin. I’ve been a rule-follower for much of my life, but I was learning that disobeying authority was kind of invigorating. I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face. There I was, standing in the centre of a Namibian ghost town, surrounded by desert, and Dave and I were the only people around. The town was dark, eerie, and foreboding; the only sound the thudding of my heart and gentle crunch of sand underfoot. I took Dave’s hand in mine, crept forward a few feet, then ducked into the abandoned remains of somebody’s home. We had driven 1,500 kilometres (1,000 miles) out of our way to get here, and on Namibia’s bad roads, that equals a seriously big undertaking. With just two weeks to see Namibia’s highlights, we had packed a ton into our time so far — easing into the trip in Ovita, thr...

Trinidad Cuba Travel Guide: A Beautiful Colonial City

Image
Exploring the Best of Trinidad Cuba Trinidad, Cuba Trinidad is Cuba’s best preserved colonial city, a unique mix of 1850’s architecture & 1950’s cars that feels frozen in time. Check out some of my favorite things to do in Trinidad. Trinidad was one of the first Cuban towns founded by the Spanish, growing wealthy from production of sugar cane, cattle, and tobacco (with the help of African slave labor). The town’s newfound wealth funded extravagant palaces, plazas, and colonial homes for rich plantation owners. Much of the architecture remains, one of the best-preserved historic towns in North America, becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Trinidad Cuba has become one of the most popular cities in the country for travelers, outside of Havana of course! You can walk down cobblestone streets, listen to live music in the plaza, cool off with fresh sugar cane juice, hop into a horse-drawn carriage, chat with locals, or visit fascinating colonial muse...
