For the past 10 days, I’ve been working with the Tourism Board of Sri Lanka. We’ve been on a tour around the country, checked out a ton of adventurous, off the beaten path locations as well as some classic tourist spots. Our goal was to create content in the form of video and photo to …
THE WEEKLY
The Myanmar adventures are over and I am back in Sri Lanka, the land of elephants. My sister also headed to Sri Lanka and is on her own adventure while I have joined the Sri Lanka Tourism Board on a two-week adventure throughout the country. I am linking back up with Jorden Tually and Martin …
When I decided to head off an adventure to Myanmar I only had a vague idea about what a 3-week journey would look like. I knew there were ancient temples and pagodas and floating villages but the rest was going to be a discovery. Each town I have stopped at has been something different. There …
It’s my second week of exploration in Myanmar with my sister joining the adventure. I am still trying to adapt to just how quiet this place is right now. It could be that I’ve become accustomed to getting yelled at and hassled the moment I stepped out my door in India or it could be …
The Indonesia Media Trip came to a close and I spent a few days recovering in Bali. Lots of content needed to be edited, written and exciting emails read. I actually enjoy hanging out in coffee shop/ hotel lobby side of blogging for the most part so it was nice to take a break from …
The second week of exploring Indonesia with the Indonesia Tourism Board was absoultely mental. Day 4 On the fourth day of our scuba trip through Indonesia, I woke early before taking a walk down the streets of Alor. Friendly locals took photos with us and said good morning as they began another day on the …
Our plane took off from Bali as I embarked on a personal milestone journey with a group of strangers I’m sure are soon to be friends. One year ago I was invited on my first ever media trip by Indonesia Tourism Board, fast forward to today and I have been invited back for another Indonesia adventure. …
It was my last moments in India as I sat in the tuk-tuk on the way to the airport in Jaipur. My driver was seventeen and had been driving since 11. His driver name was Chapati and he went to art school during the day and drove at night. He told me a crazy story …
These past seven days have been my last full week of adventures in India. I explored the ‘Golden City’ of Jaisalmer and the ‘Blue City’ of Jodhpur. Jaisalmer is close to the west border of India and a stone’s throw from Pakistan. It felt isolated, dry and a little different to the other cities in …
I never set out to be a professional photographer when I first got into photography. I had never been out of the automatic settings on a camera before midway through 2015. I started watching youtube videos teaching me about how to set up my camera, how to focus and so forth. The main reason I …
I had a jarringly strange moment this week, I felt something I’d never experienced before in my life. I was wasting time before my flight at a dusty, open-air cafe in Koh Samui. I couldn’t read anything on the menu and I think the lady at the counter recognized this as she ordered my meal …
This week has been another crazy chapter in my journey. I got an email from the Indonesia Tourism Board inviting me back for another press trip. This time last year I was invited by the Indonesia Tourism Board for two-week all expenses paid press trip. They even gave us a daily spending allowance, none of …
