Through My Lens
Behind every destination guide is a real journey. These are the moments that didn’t make the itinerary, but made the trip.
Africa
Central America
Asia
South America
Europe
the Caribbean
Africa
View from Table Mountain, South Africa
Cape Town looking peaceful from above. The traffic down there had different plans.
Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa
One of the most famous beaches in South Africa. Beautiful views, freezing Atlantic water.
Stony Point, Betty's Bay, South Africa
Home of the largest African penguin colonies in the world. Much louder than expected.
Boulders Beach, Cape Town, South Africa
Hundreds of tourists trying to photograph penguins pretending not to care.
Cape Point, South Africa
Not the southernmost point of Africa, but definitley one of the most beautiful.
Cape of Good Hope, South Africa
Arrived at the Cape of Good Hope. Lost all hope of wanting to leave this view again.
Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa
I originally came here to study. Stellenbosch had slightly different plans for my attention span.
Stellenbosch Town Hall, South Africa
Somehow ended up spending a suspicious amount of time in the beer and wine society.
Wilderness, Western Cape, South Africa
One of those places along the Garden Route where nature quietly reminds you to slow down for a while.
Pub Street, Siem Reap, Cambodia
Came to Cambodia for the culture. Pub Street and one-dollar beers made a very strong counterargument.
Ankor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia
Made it from the Pub Street to the Ankor Wat sunrise with very little sleep. Apparently the early bird really does catch the view.
Jakarta Old Town, Indonesia
Dutch colonial architecture in the middle of Jakarta was not something I expected to feel strangely familiar.
Victoria Peak View, Hong Kong
Hong Kong from above. The only thing higher than the skyline is the rent.
Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong
Avenue of Stars. Still waiting for mine.
Mid-Levels Escalators, Hong Kong
Hong Kong understood the assignment: less walking, more sightseeing.
Hong Kong Park, Hong Kong
A little nature between several billion dollars of real estate.
Labuan Badjo, Flores, Indonesia
One of those places where every second person suddenly starts talking about quitting their job and buying a boat.
Sylvia Hill view, Labuan Bajo, Indonesia
Climbed up for the sunset view. Came back down with great photos and roughly twenty mosquito bites.
Padar Island, Indonesia
Queued up with half the internet to get the classic viewpoint photo. Briefly became a travel influencer for about five minutes.
Komodo Island, Indonesia
Arrived with no expectations. Left convinced the Komodo dragon and I could probably have been mates under different circumstances.
Taka Makassar, Indonesia
Crystal clear water, bright sun and the kind of sunburn you only notice several hours too late.
Osaka Castle, Japan
Centuries of history. Thousands of tourists. One decent photo.
Umeda Sky Building View, Osaka, Japan
From up here, all train stations look confusing.
Dotonbori, Osaka, Japan
Came to see Osaka. Osaka sent me to Dotonbori.
Tōdai-ji Temple, Nara, Japan
The Buddha was peaceful. The tourist crowd had different plans.
Asia
Europe
South America
