I don’t know exactly what it is, but there’s something about open water that speaks to me lately. It never used to be the case; I wasn’t a fan when I was younger. In fact, even though I’m a decent swimmer, drowning is one of my biggest fears. Still, I can’t escape or deny the feeling of serenity that water evokes in me these days. (more…)

I’m a procrastinator. I love putting things off. My style is to wait until the last minute to do something, then freak out and get it all done at once, which drives my wife crazy because she’s the exact opposite, preferring to get things done in advance of when they’re due.

Last month, I wrote about five places that were on my travel hitlist. These are places I wanted to visit for their natural beauty, and to do a bit of the photography I love so much.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your next trip and haven’t already been, maybe one of these five places will tickle your fancy. (more…)
