TweetEasily one of my favourite hostels on my Europe trip, Clink78 combines the best of all worlds.  It has the size and capacity of the big chain hotels which allows for loads of opportunities to meet people and have some fun, it has the feel and comfort of a small hostel, and it has one [...]

TweetI was so glad to get out of the cities by the time I got to the English Midlands. I stayed with a really good friend in a small town well outside of Birmingham and felt much more at ease after dealing with the grind of cities for about a month. As we drove from [...]

TweetCan someone please tell me what this “sleep” thing is that everyone keeps talking about?  I don’t think I’ve had a proper night in about a month.  Not that I’m complaining though.  Not sleeping means that there are much more exciting things going on. Over the past two months I’ve travelled across 11 counties, taken [...]

TweetGlasgow, as I’ve mentioned a couple times of the past few weeks, became one of my surprise favourites so far on my trip across Europe.  Sure, there might not be as many things to do as places like Dublin or Edinburgh, but the mood in town is a photographer’s dream.  Glasgow always seems to have [...]

TweetAfter weeks of anticipation it finally happened: my sister got married.  I couldn’t be prouder of her and her new husband Rob.  They are great together and I’m sure that they will be very happy together for the rest of their lives. I was the wedding photographer which, if I’m being honest, made me a [...]

TweetThe Galapagos Islands are such a colourful place. Thus, what I’m about to present to you is almost a crime. I am about to show you the Galapagos Islands in black and white. Sure, there are some photos where I’ve left some selected colour in the image, but for the most part these were all [...]

TweetAs I’m sure you haven’t forgotten, I was robbed a couple weeks about in Quito (read about the Quito robbery here).  I’d be lying if I wasn’t completely stressed out about the whole situation for days.  The truth was that losing my 2 camera bodies and the two lenses was more like losing a friend [...]

TweetI can’t believe that it’s been 9 months since I was in Antarctica.  I could have had a child in that period of time.  It really does feel like it happened just yesterday.  But at the same time, it almost feels as if it was a dream; and the truth was it was a dream. [...]

TweetIt is with great excitement I reveal one of my projects: an online travel magazine for independent travellers. I would like to present you to Vagabundo Travel Magazine The Inspiration Interesting projects and opportunities seem to have come and gone through my email inbox and conversations at a rapid pace over the past year.  Many of those [...]

TweetI’ve become a little bit of a zip-line snob. The activity, which involves one strapping them self to a wire and slinging from tree to tree, is one that I’ve taken part in often. I first cruised the trees via zipline transportation in Monteverde, Costa Rica, a place I would highly recommend. The truth is, [...]
