Booker Travels is a series of weekly webisodes about traveling and living life outside. Teenage travelers are the new explorers of the world we live in, the re-discoverers of our planet and now, the guides to our travels. Booker Travels is an original program by B Travels Network.

Hosted by 16-year-old Booker and his friends, Booker Travels documents journeys to great destinations through their eyes. Teenage travelers are the new explorers of the world we live in, the re-discoverers of our planet and now, the guides to our travels. – Booker Travels/About

This past Saturday I had the pleasure to walk the Fading Ads of TriBeCa tour with Booker, his mom- producer & director, Tânia Cypriano and cameraman Daniel Burity. Together we set out on a discovery of TriBeCa’s vintage advertising, faux vintage ads & architectural attractions. Airing of this episode of Booker Travels is tentatively set for the Spring of 2014.
