Santiago Blue blue Monday So we arrived in Santiago on a flight from Auckland, New Zealand. It was the only way. And it hurt. You may remember in an earlier blog I talked about the World Traveller Life: Monday morning, well get this! We left on Monday evening, flew for 11 hours and arrived – on Monday afternoon. Whaaaat! We did Monday twice. It messed with...
Viva Las Vegas Delta does it again! So, we finally arrived in Las Vegas via the longest route EVER. Okay, so. We are massively running over budget but determined not to go home so early.

It may be truly tasty, but it’s not awesome. The landscape in New Zealand is awesome – it does indeed inspire awe. But, but when visiting Lake Tekapo – see here… I...
I don’t want to be a landscape photographer anymore. That’s it; I’ve had enough. I don’t want to do this anymore. For years now, I’ve put myself into a category of a landscape photographer, but I’m not. And I can’t understand why I have to be. Photography is not about a genre. It’s not about labels, and it’s...

The diverse landscapes, from the majestic Andes mountains to the mystical Amazon rainforest and the enchanting Uyuni Salt Flats, left us in awe of Mother Nature’s splendour. The warm hospitality of Bolivians and...
