Welcome to Zaina Lodge, a unique little getaway you never would have expected! Located only 2.5 hours West of Tamale, you are soon in the heart of Mole National Park.

Jaipur is the largest city and capital of the Indian State of Rajasthan and is also part of the West Golden Triangle. Like most places I visit, I did zero research beforehand, but fell in love no matter what.

A magical moment at Silver Falls State Park, Oregon while exploring the winter waterfalls.

Like many tourists, we started our trip out floating down the river markets. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market to be exact. One of the most touristy markets to visit, but if you have the time it's a fun first stop.

Through the rainy water and you could see the clear opening to Bear Glacier, it was like a secret entrance into the ice world. I had been dreaming of seeing glaciers my whole life and here we were paddling towards them in the Kenai Fjords National Park.

The Hatcher Pass view is stunning within a mile of starting your hike. Opening up to the vast, green valley it’s hard to gain perspective as we search for our climbing route.

I was given some bear spray from a man at the RV place when I told him we might head to Talkeetna, he said there was a bear just yesterday that hung out in the bushes while they fished...

In my first post about saving images for web, I talked about the importance of prepping your images for looking the best online for your clients & Google rankings.

Our first night we drove to Superstition Mountain and took in an amazing sunset. The key is to wait until the sun is completely gone behind the horizon and watch the rocks turn purplish/pink. Besides the 108 degree heat, I could have enjoyed that for hours!

Getting back to editing images from Ireland and falling love all over again...I have to separate the next couple days up in order to not overwhelm you with images of beautiful landscape.

There was no doubt I had found the most beautiful place in the world. Visiting Dingle, Ireland was one of my favorite travel experiences ever.

We then caught the express bus from Dublin to Galway, (which is about 2.5 hrs) and were ready to get rolling around 10:30am. There are obviously pro's and con's to traveling during the off season,

Last fall I was on a wonderful trip to Switzerland with my Fiancé when we decided to spend a day traveling up to Mt. Pilatus, which is in the middle of the Swiss Alps. It was probably one of my favorite scenic views I have ever seen!
