In this slide show, music and images combine to transport the viewer and create a connection not only between place, [...]

Well, not really. But, I do want to write a short post about several businesses and accommodations that I have use/frequented while traveling these last few weeks that have made a difference in my travels. First, and most importantly, I want to mention the CouchSurfing network. It is a great way to travel, see locations [...]

A few pics from Rijeka, Croatia. Based on a suggestion from a friend of mine, I will be using my 50mm prime f1.8 lens for the foreseeable future for all my ‘tourist’ photos. I’m working on being more deliberate with my photography and working on some of my fundamentals. Enjoy.

Dobova, Slovenia (2009-10-25) – Well, here I sit at the seemingly new built train station of Dobova, just over the Croatian border, having come from lovely Zagreb, where I spent the first four, extraordinary, nights of my journey. The layover for my next train, which will take me to Kresko, Slovenia to visit a friend [...]
Travel Note: Zagreb (Day 2)

The train ride from Budapest to Zagreb was mostly uneventful, except for having to change compartments. I did chat with some fellow travelers whom I met up with later in Zagreb on Thursday. I am Couch Surfing while I am here and my host has been awesome. While in Budapest I hosted a couple of [...]
