The Vinyl Nomad | Chapter 07-08: London
Took the early Eurostar train from Amsterdam to London. I’ve grown to love long train rides—they give me time to think, update my journal, and focus on essential computer work for the Vinyl Nomad tour.
The Vinyl Nomad – Final Worldwide Photo Tour for Dust & Grooves Vol. 2 Book.

The Vinyl Nomad | Chapter 06: Brussels & Amsterdam
I took an early fast train to Brussels and arrived just in time to visit my old friend, DJ and collector Alex Figueira, who was preparing to sell at a vinyl market just a few blocks from his house in the city center. It was a sunny, beautiful day, like the last of summer had been sprinkled into autumn, and the city was packed with people sitting outside, enjoying their drinks or brunch.
The Vinyl Nomad | Chapter 03-05: Parma, Cervia, Cattolica, Milan, Normandy, Paris
Our Italy tour continued with an exploration of rare gems, a pioneer collector of Italian library music, a groovy collection who took us back to the 1970 and a birthday celebration! The Italy tour later found its conclusion in Milan, where we interviewed two amazing collectors and enjoyed a mean risotto. We then moved on to Normandy, France, where we met with researcher and compiler of the Ethiopique series, Francis Falceto, digging deep into Ethiopian music and indulging in homemade Ethiopian food before moving to Paris, city of love & sick vinyl collections.
The Vinyl Nomad | Chapter 01-02: Naples & Rome
Couldn’t have thought of a better way to start off our Vinyl Nomad adventures than to explore Naples & Rome—two cities filled with good music, good food, and colorful characters.
