Where’s Baldo – A Month in the Life of an Airline Pilot

Skydive the Beach - Sydney, AU
Skydive the Beach – Sydney, AU

We thought we’d poke a little fun at one of our co-hosts in addition to starting a fun online game called, “Where’s Baldo?”, where we chronicle the monthly destinations of co-host Len Costa as an airline captain for both work and pleasure. He gets around (literally).

Why “Baldo” you ask? Back in December 2012 Len decided he’d had enough of his luscious, soft, head of hair and went the shaved route courtesy of the awesome peeps at Head Blade (check them out, their stuff works). As a self-appointed baldy, the catchy phrase “Where’s Baldo?” was a fun play on pop culture icon Waldo who we seem to be eternally searching for. Seriously… will somebody PLEASE find that guy!

Anyway, we’ll be publishing a monthly blog post with all the destinations he’s set foot in. We hope you enjoy this new online game and the first edition releases on Friday, June 7th, 2013.
