My travel journey began as a broke teenage backpacker hitchhiking across Europe.  Since then I’ve exchanged my thumb for a boarding pass, and I have been independently exploring the globe for over 20 years.

As my travels grew longer, I would inevitably need to get a haircut along the way.  Wherever I was at the time I would always find a local barber.  Each time I found the experiences within the barber shops to be a more genuine interaction with the local communities.

I have traveled to 50 countries many of which I’ve visited more than once.  While I’ve enjoyed all of my travels, there are some places I love and I’ve returned to multiple times.  A few of my favorite countries I have traveled to are Nepal, Indonesia, Algeria, and Cambodia.

Our original YouTube video was filmed in a small barber shop while traveling through India in 1999.  This video emerged out of a desire to travel, film, and share these experiences.

Ever since launching the HairCutHarry YouTube channel in 2012 we have continued to seek out unique barbers and barber shops around the world to share their stories.

Over the years our approach to filming has been from a documentary perspective.  We try to share a small glimpse into the character of the barbers and barber shops we visit.

Throughout the years, I’ve been asked questions ranging from what camera gear I use to how I find barbershops.  Please check out our frequently asked questions to find out some answers!

After many years of traveling, I still love to travel and am continuously inspired by the people I meet on the road.  I have always enjoyed sharing some of these unique experiences through our YouTube channel and I want to share more of the travel journey through this blog.

My hope is that you are inspired to explore the world around us – near or far.

Thank you so much to everyone for being a part of this journey!
