California with a Defender 130 – Costa Rica Hasta Alaska :: Video of the Week

Some travel videos are packed with action shots, loud music, over-the-top personalities, and, let’s be honest, contrived adventure. And while there is undoubtedly a demand for such entertainment, some of us prefer a calmer, more authentic experience. Nore Gomez, of Costa Rica Hasta Alaska fame (his Instagram account is on fire), takes the latter approach and delivers authentic, intriguing, and beautifully filmed travel videos that focus on his vehicle, a Land Rover Defender 130, the beauty of the land through which he and his wife travel, and the couples three dogs. Nore’s channel is just getting off the ground, and we encourage you to take the time to slow down for a while and soak in the beauty of the land as seen through his talented lens.

In this video, Gomez explores California, from Joshua Tree National Park to the Trona Pinnacles, Death Valley National Park, and Alabama Hills, camping and traveling solo, focusing on the landscape and nature of these beautiful locations. Did we mention that his Defender 130 is incredible?
