About my work

I travel alone with a camera and publish what I find: trip guides, road trip itineraries, and nature and landscape photography. This site holds 2,400 of my social posts and 42 articles across 598 destinations.

Los Angeles is home. It is my most covered place after California as a whole, with 247 posts and four articles. Most of my other work is from the western United States: Utah, Oregon, Arizona and Nevada, and the national parks in them.

I have also published from Vietnam, Cambodia, Italy, France, England, Chile, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize and Canada.
