Seeing the Taj Mahal in India, the Great Wall of China, or the Eiffel Tower in Paris? Snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, hiking in the Amazon rainforest, or skiing in the Swiss Alps?

Whatever your travel dreams may be, this blog is here to inspire you. I haven’t even been to all of the locations mentioned above! But I have been to quite a few places and I’m here to share my photos of some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring places on Earth.

I’m currently sitting here with the post trip blues and I’m just dying to reminisce a little bit… and possibly daydream about some future trips. If you’re in the same boat, or you’re not, and just want to see some pretty photos, scroll down and check these out! Let me know if any of these images inspired you to take a trip or if you have experienced any of these locations yourself.

So whether you're just starting to plan your next vacation or you're a seasoned traveler, be sure to check out this blog for some travel inspiration. I can't wait to help you see the world!

My two favorite things are traveling and photography. Of course, I found a way to combine them!

I am a photographer, filmmaker, traveler, writer, graphic and web designer, and so much more. As you can probably guess, I keep myself pretty busy. I can’t help but think of new ideas and dive headfirst into them.

I have been a photographer for 15+ years and specialize in documentary-style photography. Throughout those years my interests expanded to filmmaking, graphic design, and web design. Naturally, when I started traveling, my camera came along with me. I fell in love with seeing parts of the world I haven’t seen before and experiencing things different from my normal. So far, I have traveled to 15 countries and 20 US states, and I am always looking for new places to explore. Photography has always made that exploration even more fun and helped me end up in places that I would have least expected. There is something about a camera being in your hand that pushes you to explore that hidden spot, walk that extra mile, and improve your patience when waiting for something amazing.
