Over the last three years I’ve taken somewhere around 60,000 photos. I’ve taken photos from the air, from the inside of caves, in deserts, in jungles, on islands and on mountains. I even spent one memorable day on the Great Barrier Reef as an underwater photographer. Until last week, however, I had never found myself …
On October 14, 2006 I made my first blog post to Everything-Everywhere.com. I had actually been “blogging” since 1997, but we didn’t call it blogging back then. It was just my personal website.

I’m leaving for Europe in a few days where I’ll spend the better part of three months visiting a whole lot of places I’ve never been before. Believe it or not, despite four years of traveling and having visited almost 100 countries, I still get a bit of anxiety before I visit someplace new. It …
It isn’t my most frequently asked question, but it is probably a firm second. When people meet me for the first time one of the questions I am inevitably asked is: Don’t you get lonely traveling by yourself? Before I directly address this question I should back up a bit and explain why I travel …
