Tweet I have only been back from Finland for about a week and I am still basking in the memories (and editing a few thousand photos). The entire country was an unexpected revelation. My major goal in this trip was to see and photograph the Northern Lights. I failed. Well, the weather failed me. As [...]

A Special Day of Touring in Rome
Tweet Rome is another city that I unexpectedly liked. My impression before I started traveling extensively was that I would never like cities that rely on tourism. It seems that many people have this same bias (some with a bit more pretentiousness about them than others, but regardless), but over time, I have come to [...]
Sometimes a place just doesn’t feel right. Alas, Valencia.
Tweet Oftentimes places just strike a chord at minute one with me and I feel immediately at ease there. I have written previously about my comfort level in the U.K. and also just recently put up my first bit of “travel fiction” detailing my feelings for a little town in Croatia. Plus, I will be [...]
Seville in Photos
Tweet A few weeks ago, I wandered around southern Spain and also Madrid for the first time. Spain is a country that is fast growing in my heart, from Costa Brava in the north to Pamplona, which I finally got to see on this trip. I had finally gotten my first housesitting gig down near the [...]

Tweet I was honored to be invited to a blog trip to the Costa Brava region of northern Spain a few weeks ago by the amazing and wonderful folks at the Costa Brava Tourism Board. Unlike seemingly all my other blog companions on that trip, I am so far behind on my posting schedule that [...]

Making Your Mouth Water from Jerusalem
Tweet I don’t do much food photography. Photos of wonderful tasting dishes just don’t do much for me as a photographer. That isn’t to say there aren’t some amazing food photography out there for you to enjoy. Two of my closest friends are some of the best food photographers I know, Ayngelina of Bacon is [...]
7 Super Shots Photo Game
Tweet I normally don’t do these “tagging” posts, where someone starts up a thread, posts some series of things, then tags some people to do the same thing after them. For one thing, most of them just take up too much time and for another, I really don’t like blogging about what everyone else is [...]
I took off in December of 2008 to circle the planet with no reservations and without leaving the ground. Sixteen months later, I succeed. My permanent travels have just continued from there. Feel free to email me at: michaelshodson@yahoo.com
