Photo of the Week – Dreaming of Caye Caulker, Belize
When I’m dreaming of somewhere warm, relaxing and relatively easy to get to, I think of Caye Caulker in Belize. No cars, no traffic, no chaos – just a wonderful place to kick back. This was one of those vacations that everything just fell into place so easily. I found a bargain […]
Photo of the Week – Surprisingly Green Zimbabwe
I think one of the things that amazed me most about Africa during my overland trip was the diversity of the landscapes. I had always imagined the entire continent of Africa as a dry, flat savannah with tall grasses and lions hidden within. I found out during my overland trip through South Africa, Mozambique, […]
A Few Moments of Peace in India
The chaos of northern India was a bit much for me! The constant noise, people, cars, cows, dogs, motorbikes, and everything else imaginable just attacked my state of well being. In order to keep my sanity, I struggled to find peaceful moments. Here is a photo essay of my path to peace! […]
Photo of the Week – Watch out for snakes!
This is one of those signs that makes me chuckle every time I look at it! I’m not sure if I should be worried about the snake kissing me or biting me! Either way I figured it was wise to look out for snakes on this trail. I also better be sure not to […]

Adventures in Turkey
You must be wondering what is this crazy girl doing wearing a skirt and tank in the snow! But, hey, that’s not snow! It really looks like it though – doesn’t it? Absolutely stunning to wander through the natural formations at the base of the Heirapolis ruins in Turkey. They call them travertines – […]
Travel Photo of the Week – Bocas Del Toro, Panama
I dream of cruising through the Caribbean in a little sailboat like the one in this photo. Every evening the opportunity to see sunsets like this would be mind blowing! I can just imagine sitting on the deck, Jimmy Buffet playing in the background, a nice glass of wine in your hand, and some […]
Travel Photo of the Week – Giraffes in Kruger, South Africa
It is so incredibly amazing to be driving along through Kruger National Park in South Africa and to see your first giraffe! For me, it wasn’t just one giraffe, but two!

Travel Photo of the Week – Himalayan Chaps
Trekking to Everest Base Camp in Nepal was one of those mind blowing adventures that I look back on and forget about all of the struggles that it took me to get there. Every memory of that adventure is sweet – even though I know that I had a rough time with the […]
