Postcards from Summer days on Lake Atitlán, Guatemala

Hands down one of the most picturesque places I’ve visited in Central America, and editing these photos is getting me excited for a trip to Italy later this year.

Postcards from exploring the colorful streets of Antigua, Guatemala 🇬🇹

Our first stop during our recent trip, we spent 2 days here before heading out to hike Acatenango, but could have easily spent plenty more.

The town was bustling on every block during the heat of the day into the night, but calm and empty in the early mornings with grand views of Volcán de Agua towering over the cobblestone streets and pastel architecture.

The wide variety of restaurants and shops in Antigua to choose from was honestly overwhelming. I could easily see how you could spend months living here and never run out of new places to try and corners to explore.

What really surprised me despite how many people there were was just how safe the town felt, even walking around exploring at night.

Everyone was friendly and welcoming, even inviting me into their restaurants to take pictures from their rooftops when they saw my camera.

We stayed on the edge of the downtown on a quiet street that was still walking distance to the heart of the town, which I highly recommend for having the option of reprieve when needed, but easy access to the louder, more lively streets as well.

Overall, it was an incredible welcome to Guatemala, and it’s easy to grasp why Antigua has become a top destination for nomads from around the globe.

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Postcard scenes from a bucket list stay at the beautiful Lake Atitlán, Guatemala

Referred to by many as the Lake Como of Central America, I knew this area would have some gorgeous views, but it far exceeded my expectations.

Surrounded by three volcanoes, it’s Central America’s deepest lake, formed from by a basin left from an eruption over 84,000 years ago.

The water was crystal clear and surprisingly warm despite many of the rumors I had heard prior to arriving (those people must have never experienced a true alpine lake 🤷🏻‍♂️).

We ended up extending our stay here for close to a week, as it was just too hard to leave, and we wanted additional time to explore the many villages that surround the lake, each offering their own distinct beauty, culture, and history.

If you’re looking for a vacation to adventure and relax, with beautiful views that rival some of the best international destinations (for less than half the price), I can’t recommend visiting here enough.

Plenty more to come from this recent trip, so stay tuned!

Postcards from Summer days well spent in the Colorado mountains

It’s that time of year again when the Rocky Mountains come to life. The rivers are rushing, the hills becoming painted in lush greens and wildflowers galore, and many new adventures are on the horizon.

I hope you’re as excited as I am for another glorious Summer roaming these hills and making new memories.

Preparing to get back out into the mountains and get my Summer in Colorado underway this week 🤌🏼

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Postcards from exploring Arizona’s Route 66 Ghost Town

This stretch of our Route 66 road trip was quite possibly my favorite, as following the original route took us far away from civilization, winding through the hills of the rugged remote wilderness of the Black Mountains.

That is until out of the blue, you drop into this rustic mountain town of Oatman, where b***os fill the streets, and the Wild West culture has been perfectly preserved.

With old retired mining shafts you could walk through, saloons, and original storefronts from the early 1900’s, it gave a true glimpse into what life was like for those who settled in these mountains over a century ago.

And with roughly 100 people still calling this town home, it’s not your typical ghost town, serving as a place where those who appreciate the old ways of living can still experience it in this little corner of the Mojave Desert.

Fun fact, the b***o in the 2nd photo was not a fan of getting his picture taken, and he about charged me before the local store owner yelled at him and put him in time out (shot 8).

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Spring Postcards from the Arizona stretch of Route 66

Crossing the border into Arizona on our roadtrip, you could immediately see and feel the change in atmosphere.

We were fully into the desert stretch now, where over the miles the open grasslands slowly changed to red rock formations covered in petroglyphs, and the towns went from having pines and junipers to petrified forests and eventually palm trees.

The nostalgic Route 66 motels and diners were mixed in with a myriad of abandoned souvenir shops, gas stations, and five and dime stores collecting dust.

There were a lot of visitors still to these Arizona Route 65 towns though – more than we had seen in any other stretch of the road, as they certainly have done a stellar job of preserving many of these iconic scenes.

It was yet another journey through time, but this time with a more Southwestern fee to it that I’ve come to know so well.

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Most are edited with my traditional color grade, but I tested out a new Porta inspired grade on a few.

Postcards from exploring the Old Town of Albuquerque, New Mexico

As we made our way across Route 66 through the small towns and dry desert plain landscapes, we were finally greeted by the mountains as we got into central New Mexico, along with our first major city for some reprieve from the road.

Albuquerque has many of the things you’ll find in other major cities, but it certainly has its own unique culture; particularly in this preserved section of the town, where the original pueblo architecture of the region still remains.

This bustling square was filled with beautiful cafe’s, restaurants and boutiques, world class art and museums, and even some fun Breaking Bad memorabilia.

It was a nice change of pace from the stops of the trip we had made thus far, and is certainly a place I would travel back to for a longer stay.

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Postcards from the forgotten towns of Route 66 - New Mexico

Walking down these quiet, empty streets that used to be bustling with people passing through from around the country decades ago was a surreal feeling.

It felt like a time capsule from the fifties in some ways, with the perfectly preserved classic cars, neon motel signs, and steak and shake diners.

But also post apocalyptic in other ways, as not much else of the town was still standing on solid foundations — abandoned, left to collapse and remain crumbling pieces of what it once was.

It’s a bittersweet part of the culture and history of the American West. As quickly as many towns boom, they can also later be left behind and forgotten as the world moves on to other places of interest.

And while these towns may never be what they were in their glory, it was nice to still capture them and show them some appreciation for the role they’ve served.

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Your friendly reminder that it’s the most beautiful time of the year to go touch some grass 🤌🏼 in California if possible.

I genuinely believe there’s nothing going on in the world or in your life that taking time to unplug and experience the beauty of nature this Spring won’t help heal.
