I'm not a professional photographer, I do not have a black and white camera and yes, I may have enhanced some of these with Photoshop. But sometimes color just doesn't capture the drama of scene; and sometimes draining out the RGBs and CMYKs just looks cooler. For cities like London and San Fran, where a gray day is as common as a gawking tourist, it's almost natural to view the cityscape through fog-colored lenses.

Traveling the world can seem a daunting task if going alone, which is why many people don't travel until they can find a travel partner.  Unfortunately, finding a travel partner who shares the same travel dreams isn't always easy. 

For this reason, I took to traveling solo, regardless of my fear.  Here is a little post I cooked up on the topic explaining both the benefits of solo…

I was lucky to get the chance to see some of these eagle hunters in action when in Kyrgyzstan last November.  The eagles are trained from birth by their owners who grow a special bond in the process.  This has been a practice in Central Asia for around 6000 years.

A lot of people wonder how would they know that the faint streak that they sometimes see in the sky at night, is a cloud or a faint northern light.

The answer is : look for the stars. If you can see the stars through the faint light then it is the Aurora. If you can't then in all probability it is a cloud and in a cloudy sky, it is difficult to see the aurora anyway. You need a clear sky. The micro climate of Abisko actually promises a lot more clear nights than some other places. …

The Napa Valley you dream of is not in California, at least for those of us who don't own a boutique vineyard. The Napa you dream of exists halfway across the world, slightly north of Rome, nestled quietly on an Etruscan hillside where grape vines stretch as big as Yountville, strung across undulating greenery from one ancient castle to the next. Don't go to California expecting the Napa of your dreams; because that's Tuscany.

Napa is something else altogether. The bits and…

I re-visited Hoi An in Vietnam this year - had it changed much in four years or was it still as magical as the first time?

I survived! No-one is more surprised than me....but let me explain. Japan, to say the least, was an impromptu trip. As of mid-January, I'd been on crutches for almost two and a half months, which had whittled my social life down to the movie nights, dinner parties and booze fests that I could host in my shoebox. Gone were the dinners out, the nights dancing,…

Here I’m posting some pictures of an adventure trek through Albanian Alps. This was one of the most adventures trip I have done so far with some cool adventures friends (Andi, Jorn, Kai, Felix, Malte, Vaith). We hiked 4 days in the most remote parts of Albanian Alps on unmarked trails and slept in tarps and in villagers houses when it was possible. This hike will be published soon in a guide map of Albania. I will let you know when it will be available.…

In a previous post on my blog I had a fascinating chat with Jonathan Groves, the executive chef at the beautiful Ngala Lodge Restaurant in The Gambia, West Africa.
