One afternoon I spoke to a fellow Villanova alum and swapped travel stories over a few steins of German pilsner at a local beer garden. He wanted to learn about my career change from management consultant to travel photographer and blogger. He did. But I learned how travel impacted his life too. Not to mention […]
Most of my early visits to England might as well be called visits to London. Not until my friend took a job in North Yorkshire did I decide to make a real journey outside the London area. Then I discovered he lived near York; the original York. Curiosity captured me and I planned a visit. […]
When I think of European destinations, I can easily say Amsterdam has become one of my favorite cities.

I left with more than memories. My journey began one morning years ago in San Francisco when my friend called me to discuss our afternoon plans. He […]
During the last days of my European backpack adventure I traveled across Spain. And many of those days and nights I spent in the sleepy shore town of L’Ametlla de Mar. Largely off the international tourist map, L’Ametlla de Mar is roughly two hours south of Barcelona on the train and is essentially the “go-to” […]
