All about Travel
I opened up the little cabin door and took a deep breath of chilly mountain air. Inhale. Exhale. It was 6AM and the sun was coming up from behind the Gore Range. I looked out on the calm, pristine Piney Lake and my eyes locked in on the small birds flitting around dipping their beaks […]
The beautiful backdrop of snowy mountain peaks and glaciers is a great way to experience fall colors. Alaska in the fall is full of blooming pink fireweed that quickly turns to a rustic red color and bright gold birch trees. They practically look like they are glowing next to the green pine tree groves. You’ll […]
As we crossed the state line into Wyoming, Carley honked the horn and we all let out a big yell of happiness. It was the first time any of us had left Colorado since February! After being cooped up in the COVID19 pandemic I don’t think I’ll ever take our freedom to move around for […]
We saw the first glimpse of them from the plane window. The famous, rigid, snowy Himalayan peaks were practically at eye level with our cruising altitude; I imagined reaching out and touching them. They looked beautiful and scary at the same time. Cold, hard, and barren; as if they were saying “leave us alone, you […]
I’ve always had a thing for communities that lie at the end of the road. There is no way out except back in the direction you came. People tend to learn to get along when they can’t avoid each other. In my experience (Crested Butte Colorado or Norddal Norway), it’s normally a formula for a […]

I’ve been traveling with a camera for a long time now, my cameras have changed, my camera bags have changed, and my needs have changed. However, after a decade of doing travel photography, I have found a few camera bags for travel that I love and use over and over again. History of Camera Bags […]
2018 was the year travel nearly killed me. No, it wasn’t a close call driving in a foreign country which is how I always assumed I would get hurt traveling. Instead it was my long-distance flight from the US to India that nearly killed me. No, it wasn’t turbulence, terrorism, or mechanical failure. It was […]
“What next?” This is typically the first thought on people’s minds as they finish the Camino de Santiago thru hike in Spain. Finishing a thru hike is exhilarating, exciting, and emotional. It’s a journey you put days, weeks, and sometimes months of time into it and you have truly become one with the trail. You […]

There’s public art walks, museums and galleries galore, and even the restaurants are creative! Here is a list of things to do in Scottsdale for an art-lover, […]
