Rome is a city that has always fascinated me. Starting as a meagre village, it grew to become the most important city in the world around 2000 years ago, sitting at the heart of one of the biggest empires to ever exist. From Rome, its rulers ruled an empire that covered much of Europe, the [...]
When I visited Lake Manyara in the Northern Tanzania, I had the amazing opportunity of visiting a local Masai village. The experience was wonderful as I learned about their way of life. This photo is of one of their traditional mud and straw huts with some of the locals standing next to it. These people [...]
When we left our campsite one cool morning in Eden Valley, South Australia, we were excited. It was wine tasting time again! Today we were heading to the Barossa Valley, Australia’s premier wine growing region. We had gone a little overboard when we were in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, and since we [...]
Right on the border with South Australia, the tiny town of Eucla sits in the middle of nowhere right in the South-Eastern corner of Western Australia. The town basically came into existence due to it's important location on the old telegraph line that ran from Albany to Adelaide in the late 1800's. The telegraph line [...]
Florence is one of those must see cities for travellers. If you are heading to Italy, this famous art city should be on your itinerary. Capital of Tuscany and one of the most important art cities in the world, Florence is full of history from the middle ages and the Italian Renaissance, and there is [...]
While wandering through the village of Mto wa Mbu at Lake Manyara, Tanzania, we came across a traditional wood carver's workshop where their beautiful carvings were up for sale. This photo is of some wooden bowls that I couldn't take my eyes off of. I rarely buy souvenirs when I travel so I had to [...]
We had spent our first night in South Australia in the small town of Tantanoola to the west of Mount Gambier, giving us an odd introduction to the state. Today we would have a long drive along the Coorong before heading up into the back of the Adelaide Hills. This part of the state seems [...]
Right near the top of the Spencer Gulf in South Australia, the land is quite barren, with the city of Whyalla receiving around 300 days of sunshine every year. The coastline in the area is very beautiful, and we camped for the night out on Point Lowly with this view from our camping spot. It [...]
Having just driven the Great Ocean Road, I didn't think that any other piece of coastline would impress me, however the beauty only continued as we headed west through Portland. The small city of Portland was actually the very first settlement to be established in Victoria, Australia, around one year before Melbourne was founded. Located [...]
During our trip to Thailand in 2011, we visited a White Karen village near Chiang Mai in the north of the country. The White Karen are a minority ethnic group in Northern Thailand and take their name from the white clothing that the women must wear before they are married. After marriage they can wear [...]
