Ep 14: Egypt – Sayed’s Home
Egypt has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. I was even more excited that Sayed agreed to talk about growing up there. The work he did after college was unlike any gap year I’ve heard before. It was all driven by his passion for making Egypt a better place. …

Lisbon & Sintra
< Click here for the photos > Lisbon is a great city and when you have a great guide to show you around it’s even better (shoutout to #LisbonWithPats). We walked for an entire day before doing another stadium tour. We also got outside the city to visit Sintra and the touristy stuff you do…

Recap: Vietnam
My goodness, we did a lot in Vietnam and had the best surprise on our last night in the country. The food nearly risked the rest of the trip, since we had a hard time leaving so much deliciousness behind! Taylor and I talk through a two week trip with 5 different stops in one…

Porto, Portugal
< Click here for photos > We got out a bit in Porto for some VERY long walks and a boat ride. It’s a really laid back city with amazing views. Sadly, we had a few cloudy and rainy days, but when the sun was out, the light was spectacular. We also got a taste…

Ep 13: Greece – Sindi’s Home
As a photographer in the hip-hop community, I’m always in awe of how supportive it can be. That is the community that came through with and introduction to BGirl Sindi. I was already excited for my first visit to Greece, but this turned it up a notch. Greece is stop #3 on Loop #3…

Recap: Cambodia
The temples, the traffic flow, the food… Cambodia was a great start in Southeast Asia, although we had a somber set of visits planned at the start. An unexpected surprise certainly lifted our spirits one our second stop. Taylor and I discuss that and more in this episode. A lot more, which is why it…

Ghana – Historical Sites
<< Click here for photos >> One of my priorities for Ghana was to visit some of the “slave castles” that dot the coastline. Oversimplifying, these there collection points used by the slave traders to consolidate Africans in bondage before shipping them to the new world. Like the smaller one we visited on Goree Island…

Ghana – Food!
<< Click here to see the photos >> Things got off to a great start in Ghana because I had Red Red and Plantains for my first meal in Elmina. From there, the eating was ON. I’m a big fan of stews and chili back home, so a country whose national dishes included a lot…

Ep 12: Portugal – Joao’s Home
One thing a photographer always seeks it great light. For that reason, I left my conversation with Joao really excited to get out in Portugal. The dessert may be a problem though. In this episode. Joao shares some really great insights, including how to get thrown out of a museum! Portugal is the 2nd stop…

Recap: Korea
In the big city (Seoul) we saw the bright lights, smelled the great food, and felt underdressed everywhere we went. The properness of Seoul receded as the DMZ got real and the laid-back vibes of Jeju Island came into focus. Then… we got to Loveland and saw a different side of Korea! It’s all in…
