Photo of the Week – Delhi
Bucket Bath
Delhi, India
While volunteering in India, I often walked around the slum neighborhoods to see the family culture. Family homes don’t have bathrooms, and baths are taken outside in front of the house with buckets. It didn’t seem to phase the kids, as this was a great way to cool down on a hot Delhi [...]

Going Up…AGAIN
We had been on the trail now for 18 days. We no longer had that rookie look in our eyes. We were no longer surprised by cold showers, the same menu, donkeys squeezing by us on the trail. We were old timers. We had 4 days on [...]

Puzzle of Green – Banaue Philippines
In honor of the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day – I thought I’d go GREEN with Photo of the Week. These are the luscious Rice Terraces of Banaue Philippines (UNESCO World Heritage Site). People think the Philippines is only about beaches – well think again. This northern part of the Philippines [...]
Photo of the Week – Cambodia
Oodles of Noodles
Siem Reap, Cambodia
On the streets of Siem Reap, this mother gave a helping hand. The young girl would have rather been playing, but she had to eat lunch instead! I had a fun day exploring the city realizing that Angkor Wat is just one of many great things to photograph!

Photo of the Week – Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan – Vending Machine Blurs
In Tokyo you can find practically anything in vending machines – they are high tech! Walking down the street you’ll find them lined up pimping the familiar and not so familiar! Can you imagine buying beer or sake from a vending machine?

Photo of the Week – Zanzibar
African Sushi – Zanzibar
I love markets, they never disappoint. This man in the Stonetown Market looked like had been carving up fish for hours. A few minutes earlier I saw a man drag in a huge hammer-head shark – amazing. Read the entire Zanzibar market story on my post from 2006.

The Longest Day
KLOMP, KLOMP, KLOMP
The sounds of hiking boots on wooden floor echoed outside my door. I poked my nose out of my warm sleeping bag cocoon, breathed in the cold air, and let it out only to see my hot breath evaporate into the darkness.
I’m aware those footseps are [...]
Photo of the Day – California
Rock Hard Love
San Francisco, California
Considering Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I thought I’d try to embrace it this year. Hell, if a love can find it’s way into a rock, then maybe there’s hope for me!

Gobi Desert – Mongolia
Grazing Goats
I chose this photo this week in order to bring more visibility to the current state of emergency in Mongolia. There are a lot of weather disasters happening around the globe right now, and Mongolia is no exception. The extreme cold weather has been the cause of death to 1.7 million [...]

Day 10 – A Mouse in My House
After 10 days of decreasing temperatures and increasing wind my body is rebelling. My lips have become as dry as the Gobi Desert , my nasal passages feel like hard booger craters have invaded it, and my hands are so dry they look [...]
Photo of the Week – Singapore
Thaipusam Festival Singapore
The Tamil Hindu festival of Thaipusam is only celebrated in 5 places in the world. I was lucky enough to experience it in Singapore in 2007. With my camera I was able to capture a close up view of the body piercings which are meant to show a family’s devotion to the god [...]
Lonely Planet Wants You…
You may have noticed that little blue banner on the left side of my home page…yes, there…that one…the one that says “Lonely Planet Featured Blogger 2010″. What does that mean? Well, it means that I’m a part of a beta program for Lonely Planet where they post my blog posts on their website under the [...]
Photo of the Week – China
Xi’an China
Home of the Terra Cotta Army. This one was protected and encased in glass. I thought it would be really interesting to see the scene through his eyes.

Annapurna Circuit 360
Many days while trekking I was overwhelmed by the beauty and sounds around me. I wished that everyone could see and experience what I was seeing. Here are some of my panoramic videos along the trail towards Manang (Days 4, 5, and 6). I think you’ll quickly see and hear why this trek in Nepal [...]
Photo of the Week – Brazil
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil: Sugar Loaf Mountain 2006
Before I started long term traveling around the world, I used to be like 80% of you out there – a working stiff. I saved away for my week of vacation and tried to get as far away as I could from my job. Back in 2006 this [...]
