Time for take off

It’s something about that moment, when the wheels lift off the ground and you are at the mercy of those big silver wings. I get butterflies, like an anxious excitement.

Seattle and Portland

Recently took my first trip to the beautiful cities of Seattle an Portland with my good friend, photographer extraordinaire and fellow travel addict Kirsty Ryan.

But a real, multiple nights, exploring…

Themed Travel
