A Sense of Travel with Michael Matheny

Welcome to A Sense of Travel! I'm Michael Matheny, and I'm on a mission to document all 5 senses (the sights, sounds, tastes, feels, and smells) of as many cities, countries, and natural wonders around the world as I can so that I can immerse you into the experience virtually.

Here, you'll find my full length travel vlogs, videos showcasing the best foods in the regions I've explored, city comparisons, travel trivia, videos documenting the scents that would make up a location-based candle, color palette reels, and more.

I'm excited to share this passion with you, and can't wait to bring you along with me as I travel the world.

Six and a half years ago, at a cafe in London, I FaceTimed my family and let them know that I had made a decision. I was moving away from my quiet hometown of Greenville, South Carolina. While London was the dream, I landed (for now) in Washington, DC - a city that's quite misunderstood.

Join me as I bring the local DC experience to you (beyond just the marble monuments) through all five senses:

If you wanna feel like you've stepped into the world that Wes Anderson so beautifully captures in his films - or if you just like frolicking in fields of lush green grass - Salzburg, Austria is about as perfect as you can get.

If you haven't already, check out my day trip to this Alpine storybook of a city through all five senses!

Ya'll.
You don't have to watch this video for me. But you should watch it for you. Because the south coast of Iceland has some of the most absolutely mindboggling natural scenery I've ever experienced. It is simply unreal.

See what I mean:

Munich was everything I imagined it would be, and far more.
If you haven't had the chance yet, check out my Munich adventure to get a sense of just how classically Bavarian and German this cozy, friendly, and slighly tipsy city is.

Despite what you may have heard, Reykjavik can be quite warm and sunny.
And even when it's not, those volcanic geothermal springs will warm ya right up.

If you haven't already, kick back for a few and experience Iceland's capital, and by far the most expensive city I've ever been to, through all five of your senses in my Reykjavik travel vlog!

Most people use Lima as a stopover or connection to Machu Picchu. And don't get me wrong, Machu Picchu must be awesome (I still haven't been!)

But skipping on Lima - that's just a bad idea. This is an incredible city with a history that reaches into Ancient times.

Join one of my best friends, Brando, and I as we attempt to capture the Lima experience through all five senses, so that you can feel as if you're right there with us through the screen:

It's quirky, nautical, ridiculously caffeinated, grungy, and straight up gorgeous. It's one of my absolute favorite cities in the US. It's #Seattle, Washington.

If you haven't already, dive into the Emerald City with me through all five of your senses:

Madrid is a city of pure passion, set against a backdrop of flambouyant regality. The only way to truly capture the experience its scale, and how it would feel to actually be there, is by capturing the city through all five senses.

In my Madrid, Spain travel vlog, I'm on a mission to do just that. Check it out!

You might notice that my next several videos are pretty "US-centric." There's gonna be a lot of domestic content on the channel as I capture some of the cities around my own neck of the woods, but keep an eye out - I've got a pretty significant couple of international adventures coming soon!

In the meantime, which US cities are you the most interested in diving into?
