Travel

Travel has always had a place in my life from the time I was a boy until today. In 1998, Yim joined me on the adventure and our big trips are still to come.

I enjoy writing about them and using my photography to illustrate them simply as a way of recording a life well lived. I hope you find something you enjoy.
