IF YOU have been following my blog recently you might be aware that I have been writing about a trip last winter on a cruise ship in Asia. The goal has been to share the the stops we made. I’m learning that one doesn’t really get to know the country when traveling by cruise ship, […]
If you enjoyed last week’s post about Taiwan, here are some more photos to see. Do note that when I do a blog post about a destination, I have a theme or a focus. I had a hard time finding one with Koahsiung, Taiwan because we weren’t there very long, our visit was a […]
Visiting Taiwan isn’t on the top of most people’s bucket lists but I found it to be interesting. It is real and and definitely not touristy. Often the word for places like this is authentic. Sometimes gritty. We visited there on a cruise boat hosting about 600 people that started in Hong Kong and ended […]

Berat, called the White City, is thought to be the prettiest town in Albania. This World Heritage site boasts more than 1,000 windows on Ottoman style homes built into the hill side along the Osum River. It is thought that the windows were built to add more light inside of the dark homes. The homes […]
North Macedonia North Macedonia was simply a name on an itinerary when I signed up for a photo tour of five Balkan countries. Somewhere near Greece, I thought. Actually its name is connected to Greece. It used to be called simply Macedonia but the Greeks protested since they have a region close by called […]
I was really blown away with the beauty of the Bay of Montenegro. I visited this part of the world on a photography trip last September. Wow. It is fantastic. Where is it? Just south of Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. Croatia gets a lot of attention because of Game of Thrones filming and all […]
