It occurred to me that when we travel, we learn more about a place from the people we see than the attractions we visit, yet we focus on taking pictures of the places. I wanted to address this disconnect, so I decided to create a photo essay based completely on the inhabitants of a particular [...]

You walk down to el centro and if you squint, it might be Madrid. Men in suits are the norm and even the teenage boys are wearing European style pencil jeans. We stayed in La Candelaria which is the historic district downtown and the only place in Bogotá with that classic colonial architecture. Part backpacker [...]

Man, writing 2010 reminded me – we’re in the future. Which actually leads me to the next part: Are you a digital nomad? A traveler? Bound for The Burn? Want to meet up? The awesome travelers/digital nomads Cherie and Chris are running Camp Nomadia again this year at Burning Man. I’ll be there too, filming [...]

Today’s guest post is by Matt of travelwithamate.com and recent author of Portraits of Asia, a collection of travel photography. Beautiful photos, definitely worth checking out, but getting those images can be a full-time (plus!) job. Matt has agreed to share a peek into his life… Most people go traveling to get away from their [...]

Today’s guest post is from Bethany of Beers and Beans. She’s amazing. Check out her photography site, Narikos Nest. Go.

I had heard that it was amazing, that the natural beauty would knock you out, but you simply can’t do the 365 degree views justice in a little picture. My favorite part was the wildlife, which becomes more frequent and bold the further north you [...]

In 2000, I packed up everything, said my goodbyes and drove cross country with my then boyfriend (now husband).  We made the trip from Massachusetts to Seattle in early December, so we decided to take the southern route, and still got caught in an ice storm that stranded us in Tennessee for three days.  There [...]

I’ve been so busy writing about how to travel, there haven’t had any posts recently about my travels.  Over the past few months we’ve been camping, driving and working our way across the US, through British Columbia, into the Yukon and finally Alaska.  This post covers the US leg of the trip from Northampton, MA [...]

My first day in Cuba landed me straight in Havana. I’m not sure what I expected, it is after all a major tourist destination, especially for the likes of Europeans planning on visiting America, who first stop in Cuba. It’s like any international city, perhaps more so. The capital buildings are gorgeous, if not slightly [...]

On my way out of Guatemala, I decided to spend a day in Antigua, just to see what I had missed by deciding to study Spanish in Quetzaltenango instead.  On the bus ride there, I watched Furia en la Sierra, which turned out to be the (unintentionally) funniest film of all time.  I think part [...]
