Traveling is a lifestyle and seeking out new places and cultures is always exciting. Capturing the beauty and essence of a place including the people elicits wonderful feelings of connection.
Focusing on adventure within travel such as walking the entire country of Liechtenstein, snowboarding in the Swiss alps, or sailing the Mediterranean allows me to seek discomfort and to try and be a traveler, not just a tourist.
Travel makes us more compassionate, understanding, and kinder to all.

This colorful colonial town is a gem to walk around and enjoy the architecture. Don’t forget to try some vigeron which originated here, or at least a nacatamale.

This ski town is a gem of the Rockies. Two mountains in one offers runs for any level and provides some incredible views. If you get lucky enough you may just see some moose hanging around the Explorer lift. One of them may decide to nap there too, causing an entire lift to be shut down.
