There's something weird and yet strangely wonderful about a woman's whose newest project, entitled 'Cookie Rolling', involves translating cookies into the entirety of Albert Camus' 'The Myth of Sisyphus'. There are 1406 words in this essay and she's got 33 so far. Someone pass the Thin Mints?
Sure, it's ridiculous looking luggage. But, we'll see who looks ridiculous when your flight is delayed and you're sleeping on the airport floor.
A nice little travelog video that makes me want to take a trip somewhere, anywhere. I'm sure setting your movie to “Breathe” doesn't qualify as groundbreaking cinema, but whatever, it works.
Culture Buzz Billy Rivera, a New York City transplant, drives a cab around Charlotte, North Carolina, in which passengers are invited to perform karaoke tunes with Billy, thanks to the system he's duct-taped to the interior.
Culture Buzz The Brazilian city is being touted as the next great travel destination. When we at Buzzfeed take our company trip there, we'll be sure to let you know. (Don't hold your breath.)
Not everyone can dig a hole to China — you might actually end up in the middle of some ocean if you made it all the way through… Here's a fun tool that'll tell you exactly where you'd end up if you made it to the other side of the world.

Apparently, the star of Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern may be out to eat your balls. It's part of an “ate my balls” web ring that includes Karl Lagerfeld, Vanity Fair, and Barack Obama.
National Geographic offers up an interactive graphic featuring hangover cures from across the globe. Honestly though, if someone in Mexico tried to shove shrimp down my throat after a long night of tequilla shots, they'd end up standing in vomit.
A video of a quick trip to New York, as captured by an iPhone in the style of a French picture romain. A short and strangely charming travel story.
TV Buzz A documentary-style show on the National Geographic channel that chronicles young twenty-somethings who have been incarcerated while traveling in countries including Venezuela, Mexico, Nepal and Thailand. In case you ever wished there was an episode of “True Life: I’m a Drug Mule,” National Geographic is finally expanding its typical programming of nature documentaries to include a show about young travelers learning frightening lessons in foreign countries.
Culture Buzz As gas prices soar, summer vacations are being replaced by the act of making a holiday in your own backyard (or at least within city limits). So break out that suntan lotion and pull up a chaise. You’re in Jamaica! (…Queens, but still.)
Culture Buzz Hotels installed within boats offer seaside lodging without the seasickness. It’s basically a cruise that doesn’t move. Nothing too novel, but I like new, made-up words.
Movie Buzz Expedia has created tours inspired by the Indiana Jones movies. Destinations include India, Egypt, Italy, China, Jordan, Mexico, Nepal, Peru, and the Southwestern United States. There is no mention in the PR materials of whether travelers need supply their own young Asian boy to act as Short Round.
Culture Buzz The New York Times reports on the growing luxury market for nudist vacations. It’s no longer just remote lake shores and isolated R.V. parks for nudists. As the Times writes, “the real boom in nude vacations is coming at the high end of the business, as upscale hotels and resorts, and even some luxury cruise lines, have begun to see the economic potential in the no-clothes crowd.”
Business Buzz The rapper has, for some reason, started a travel web site. Though the design could use some work, it appears to be legit: KanyeTravel wants to book you in your next stylish adventure vacation (fancy sunglasses not included).
Culture Buzz Just swish this thermometer-like device inside a glass of water and you’ll get instant drinkable water with no after-taste. Having all been recent victims of the Norovirus, we know that sitting on the toilet for two days straight in a foreign country is no one’s idea of fun. This solar-powered gadget should ensure safe travels abroad.
Business Buzz A resort located 40 feet below water off an island in Fiji is set to open in 2009. The Poseidon has tons of amenities, including seven bars, a golf course and a control console where you get to feed the fish. Unfortunately with reservations starting at $30,000, partying like a Snorks is way out of our price range.
Culture Buzz Travel guru Arthur Frommer issues a call to slumming. Sort of like dark tourism, but instead of visiting places of tragic world-historical importance, you stop by the overlooked neighborhoods of the poor.
Culture Buzz Growing website CouchSurfing.com hooks you up with couches across the world while traveling. We know that for some of you, couch surfing is just a way of life. You don’t have to forgo your slacker lifestyle just because you’re traveling.
