I finally found a fast enough internet connection to upload the radio broadcast that I was interviewed on a little while back. I have been invited back on the air for an update later on in my expedition. I will let you all know when that is going to happen, but for now, enjoy the audio...

When I worked as the North American sales manager at GAP Adventures, I would speak about Jaipur (the Pink City) in front of large groups, having never even been there. Today, I finally got to visit the city that I always spoke about, and it’s a magical place.  The streets are lined with shops and all the buildings are painted a peachy pink, which makes an amazing backdrop for people sho...Read More

For those of you that have never tried Yoga, Namaste is a traditional Indian greeting. When you visit India, you have to expect the culture shock!  I am probably the most adventurous person I know and I will go to great lengths to get myself out of my comfort zone. When I landed in India a few days ago, that theory was really put to task. I have been mentally preparing myself for months for t...Read More

After a 7.5 hour flight to my first Asian destination, I have landed in Singapore. The first thing I noticed is how clean it is! As I was driven from the Airport to my hotel, I could not spot even a fallen leaf from the thousands of trees that lined the streets. I knew they were serious about keeping the city clean, but I never imagined this. Its my kind of place!  After settling in at my hot...Read More

My morning today started with a nice breakfast at my posh resort and then a 30 minute drive through many local villages to the port. I knew the luxury was about to end as I boarded the catamaran for a five hour trip to the north western Yasewa Island group. A funny thing about the catamaran ride was one of the songs that played on the way. The song was “I’m sitting on the Top of Kilima...Read More

As the jet descended into Nadi International Airport in Fiji, the windows steamed up just as if you were breathing on your sunglasses. You could just tell the humidity was going to make everything wet as soon as you exited the air conditioned plane. Through the steamy windows, I caught a bird’s eye view of the islands and atolls that I would be photographing for the next five days. The cryst...Read More

It's been almost four weeks since I left for this journey and I can''t believe how fast it has passed. Australia holds a special place in my heart because it was here that my venture into travel photography began. It is 4:30am and I have barely slept as I am saying farewell to my friends and family I came to visit. I am also at the very beginning of the biggest adventure of my life. Th...Read More

I am extremely lucky to have friends in cities all over the world. A few days ago, I was taken on an extreme tour of Sydney in a highly modified sports car. Only a local would have known the spots I was taken to. The day started at Darling Point and we visited a lot of the eastern suburbs of Sydney. As we made our way around the harbour, I saw some of the most amazing real estate backing onto the ...Read More

The first time I landed in Australia two years ago, the Qantas flight circled the harbour and I got a glance of the most majestic city I have ever visited. I did not get to photograph too much of the city the last time, so I vowed to spend a good portion of my time here behind the lens. In my first two days here I walked the city, twice! I started my day with a workout in a popular King’s Cr...Read More
