"Show, don't tell."

​

I'm not a professional photographer. I'm not a professional traveler. I'm not even a professional blogger. No one (yet) has given me a free trip, or a free room, or even a free ride to tell you how wonderful my destinations or accommodations have been. I haven't figured out how to 'live a life of travel' yet, or even if I would if I could. I'm not a lottery winner or a trust fund baby or an early retiree or even particularly wealthy. Chances are, I'm probably pretty much like you.

​

I like to see new places, to meet new people, to taste new food, to experience new cultures. I work hard to save up money and vacation time so that once (or maybe twice) a year I can get out of my comfort zone and travel somewhere new. I've seen the sunrise in Monument Valley, sailed down the Danube, rode horses in the Andes and camels in the Sahara.  I've also missed trains in Prauge, gotten lost in Marrakech, been scammed in Budapest and stranded in Amarillo on an icy Christmas Day. That's the thing about travel. Sometimes it's awesome, sometimes it's annoying, sometimes it's heartbreaking. But it's always an adventure.

​

And that's what this gallery/blog/website is all about. Showing you the adventure through pictures, posts, and observations. But mostly pictures. Because it's always better to show and not to tell.
