Rainforest Water Slide of Doom
While in Costa Rica, a group of about 12 family & friends went on the Buena Vista Rainforest Tour and this included a water slide that goes thru the rainforest and snakes its way around trees. It takes about 5 minutes to walk to the top of the hill but there you are greeted by [...]

15 April 2011
Until about a month ago, I did plan on going to Costa Rica to attend my cousin, Natasya’s, wedding due to the fact that I didn’t know where I’d be in the world. But as my schedule became more clear I realized I could attend and tack on some more fun time before the wedding [...]

11 April 2011
As Mark, Dave, and I emerged from our bus into the Seoul bus station, the bustle of the largest city in Korea and the energy it gave off hit us right away. Mark was heading back to Incheon and the US a day earlier than Dave and I and we quickly found the bus heading [...]

11 April 2011
The origins of the South Korea trip were born from the imagination of my good buddy Mark. He would be traveling back from China and thought it would be fun to meet up in Incheon and go visit his old stomping grounds around Osan Air Base near the towns of Songtan and Pyeongtaek. Mark made [...]

1 April 2011
Roughly a two hour drive from Daegu the port town of Busan (formerly Pusan) is located. Jon and I made the journey together on a sunny, crisp morning. Jon had heard there was a temple overlooking the water and wanted to grab photos of this and the Haeundae Beach waterfront. A stones throw from the [...]

29 March 2011
Daegu is located in the southeastern region of Korea and is home to over 3 million people. That is one astonishing fact that I was not totally prepared to see; so many people living in such large cities. Daegu is the second largest city (formerly known as Taegu) and is quite easy to get around [...]

27 March 2011
My flight from LAX landed in Tokyo for a 30 minute layover before continuing onto Incheon, Korea. I cleared customs at about 9pm and started getting my bearings. First stop, an ATM. FYI: be sure to look for a “Global ATM” since regular ATMs will not work with a foreign bank card. I contacted my [...]

17 March 2011
I ventured down to New Orleans on a two-prong mission; 1) visit my older brother and his fiance’s family and 2) help prepare the “farm” for the wedding and reception. The fact that it happened to be Mardi Gras during my visit was purely coincidental and I did witness my first Mardi Gras parade with [...]

11 March 2011
While skiing in the Alps in Grimentz, going on several hikes, and visiting Zermatt and the Matterhorn, I was able to capture many photos of the Alps. I decided to create a specific gallery of photos of my favorites taken at altitude and have named it the Alps Mountain Collection. I chose to make many [...]

11 March 2011
As they say all good things must come to an end and my trip was no different. After arriving back from London and Paris, I had one last day to travel to a Swiss city I’ve never seen. Fribourg was recommended to me by Sarah and it is a short 20 minute train ride from [...]
