Sunset Sunday – Kota Kinbalu, Malaysia on the island of Borneo

by on August 5, 2012 in Guest Post, Sunset Sunday

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 […]

A Visit to the Original York in England

A Visit to the Original York in England

by on August 1, 2012 in Destination

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. […]

Tips on the Four Ways to Tour Amsterdam

by on July 25, 2012 in Destination

When I think of European destinations, I can easily say Amsterdam has become one of my favorite cities. I’ve visited the city multiple times,  each time with different companions and each time I left saying, “I love Amsterdam.” Whether its finding a cafe filled with memories such as Hill Street Blues Cafe or making new […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset on the Mazatlán Malecón

Sunset Sunday – Sunset on the Mazatlán Malecón

by on July 22, 2012 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

I reviewed the scheduled itinerary for Mazatlán and immediately looked at see where I’d be for sunset each night. I noticed most nights the sunset occurred over dinner (makes sense) but I also knew one of the restaurants. The dinner at el Shrimp Bucket would be located right on the malecón. I circled that evening. […]

The Saturday Farmers Market at Noordermarkt

One of the joys of city life is the weekend Farmers Market. Ironic perhaps, but all major cities seem to have wonderful markets filled with produce from the country, from the farmlands.  Amsterdam is no exception and the Boerenmarkt op de Noordermarkt (Farmers Market in Noordermarkt) is one of these exceptional markets.

Sunset Sunday – Sailing the Black Sea of Bulgaria

by on July 15, 2012 in Sunset Sunday

When I first arrived to touch the waters of the Black Sea it was just that black, pitch black in fact. But the time read close to midnight when we reached the beach just south of Sozopol in Bulgaria to set up tent.  It was no surprise. The next morning I woke to the sounds […]

A Walk through Oxford University Inspires

A Walk through Oxford University Inspires

by on July 10, 2012 in Destination

My walk through Oxford University confirmed the dictum “knowledge is power.” Well, maybe I didn’t feel powerful like a superhero, but the energy from the colleges inspired me. 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 […]

Sunset Sunday – L’Ametlla de Mar, Catalonia Spain

Sunset Sunday – L’Ametlla de Mar, Catalonia Spain

by on July 8, 2012 in Sunset Sunday

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” […]
