This year my friends bought me a Polaroid camera for my birthday. And it’s the greatest gift anyone has ever given me. (other than my divine AR turntable) I own a decent Nikon but rarely use it when I travel (I know I know) I just don’t like lugging it around. I tend to take […]
Read MoreI love London. It’s as simple as that. I keep going back and each time it gets harder and harder to leave it behind. Yes, you feel different about a city once you live there. But I can honestly say it would take me a very long time to get sick of London. As Samuel […]

You will find many glorious travel blogs and sites of the most beautiful resorts around the globe. You can find lists of what to pack in matching luggage. Gosh, the world is full of travel bloggers who take amazing photos that leave you wanting to up and leave your day job and travel the world. I am not that travel blogger. I live to travel and discover new places. Sometimes that includes places right down the road. Sometimes it involves a long haul flight or two. I am average. I travel on an average budget, I travel with average luggage and gadgets but I tell extraordinary stories.
