One of my favorite things to do is take my camera on the road, capture unique moments and see obscure places. I share my adventures and misadventures in this travel and photography journal to help you learn from my experiences. Time on the road goes by quickly, and you see a lot in a short period of time. When you return from an exotic locale, sometimes the pictures are all you have to remind yourself of the moment. Keep shooting!
The quaint Alpine village of Zermatt is primarily an international ski resort, but the hiking, food, and natural beauty make it a year-round destination. We hit the weather right for our perfect day viewing the Matterhorn.
One of the most beautiful walks along Lake Gevena is from Chillon Castle to Montreux. If you are a Freddie Mercury fan, there are some things for you to see here!
Just outside of Lausanne there is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We went hiking through Lavaux’s Beautiful Vineyard Terraces. See a map of our route.
I’m a big fan of Gruyère cheese, and now I know I like the most aged variation. In addition to the factory, you should walk up the hill to the castle and see the museum of disturbing works by HR Giger.
Lausanne’s lakefront has a French feel and is a vacation destination for local Europeans. We used it as a base for exploring the vineyard terraces and medieval castles.
Switzerland is a merging of French, German and Italian cultures and food, with breathtaking vistas. We spent three weeks traveling through the countryside soaking in as much as we could.
Geneva is an international city with a very French feel. It is home to the Red Cross, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations.
During our travels through Switzerland, we took advantage of almost every form of public transportation: trains, boats, buses, and gondolas. It all worked as expected and seamlessly using the SBB app.
Our trip to Switzerland was based around scenic train routes and we had to choose a pass, then figure out how it worked. It ended up being quite easy, but it was hard to figure out in advance on the Flex Pass website, so here’s how it worked step-by-step.
Are you trying to decide what to bring on your trip? Here is everything I needed, and didn’t, during my three weeks in Switzerland.
Portugal’s coastline is the farthest western point in Europe and features dramatic cliffs and enormous waves.
The historic city center and the riverfront were undamaged in the 1755 Earthquake. Due to that good fortune, Porto retains the authenticity of an ancient trading city. The roads are narrow and winding, wrapping around churches and buildings added through the centuries.
I am a photographer located in South Florida and Down East Maine.
