New York, New York
Of course, this is also the title of the famous Frank Sinatra song. Every year I wonder ‘if I can make it there‘, and besides that it really is ‘It’s up to you‘, I have been too busy to go back to this city with many faces. Hopefully this will happen in the next year…

Argentina, Part 4: Mendoza & The Andes
The longest bus ride I took was from beautiful Salta to Mendoza. I survived and found myself in Mendoza. This city is a bit bigger than Salta, and it was a bit hard to find the coziness that was all surrounding the Plaza 9 de Julio in Salta. One thing that amazed me was the…

Argentina, Part 3: Salta & Salinas Grandes
Ah… Salta! Beautiful city hidden in the Andes mountains!Very lively, Salta is a city you should not miss. The Plaza 9 de Julio is the place to be. It has a lot of restaurants, bars and street performers. I spend quite some time at Plaza 9 de Julio, letting it all sink in. As I…

Argentina, Part 2: Iguazú Falls
Time to head to the majestic Iguazú waterfalls. I have heard a fair amount of people reveling about it. They make up the largest waterfall system in the world. Not hard to imagine while you’re standing out there. After I arrived here I walked around this very sleepy city. The weather was not very cooperating,…

Argentina, Part 1: Buenos Aires
I have wanted to go to Argentina for a long, long time. That happened in October 2022. First destination: Buenos Aires. After a long delayed flight, I landed in a rainy Buenos Aires. Not knowing what weather to expect, I did pack for some colder and gray weather. If it was not for the signs…

Thailand – Krabi
On my third trip to Thailand I had the privilege to visit Krabi, also known as the less known neighbor of Phuket, however that is not apparent on the amount of visitors. We actually stayed at a smaller place called Railay Beach, which is reachable by boat only. It does have it charms, less busy,…

Mini Road Trip – Death Valley
Last time I passed through Death Valley, was during my Nevada road trip (a post that will appear here at one point). My star trail photo, that I took then, did not turn out that well. My typical destination for 4th of July Eve (which, of course is July 3rd) is Joshua Tree. Having 4th…

Pico Blvd
Last year I took an old Nikon film SLR and started walking on Pico, inspired by my photography friend Derek E., who did the same thing on Wilshire. It took me couple of times to not look at the back to find out how the picture turned out — no screen on film SLR’s… Walking…

Road Trip – Arches and Monument Valley
After dropping off the oldest daughter in Salt Lake City, I continued on to Arches and Monument Valley. Arches has been on my wish list for a long time. The goal has been to reach the Delicate Arch. Entire web sites dedicated on telling you how strenuous the hike to this arch is, I got…

Road Trip – Yellowstone
Who would plan a road trip to Yellowstone in March? Well, my daughter and I. And so we did and drove. Only one road was open, so no visit to Old Faithful (boohoo…). We stayed there for three nights, which was plentiful, with only that road open. The wild life was impressive. Highly recommended.
