Welcome to the World as I see it.

Welcome to my Travel and Photography Blog! What’s Inside?

I will bring you stories of my travels, some solo and most with my wife, that will hopefully inspire you to make your own travel plans, to go out and see our world. Or even going out and explore nearer to where you live. I even discuss the photographic methods I used during these adventures.
