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 [...]
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 [...]
Costa Brava, a very brief photo glimpse
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 [...]

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 [...]
Santorini, Greece — Travel via Instagram
Tweet A good friend of mine, Yvonne of JustTravelous, hit upon an idea just a few weeks ago that I really loved. She is a big Instagram fan, the iPhone app that allows you to take photos with your iPhone, or iPod Touch, and post them to friends following you on Instagram, as well as [...]
Lighthouse Shows the Way — Bringing 2012 in Properly
Tweet As you read this, I am on a plane. Yes, a plane. Bleh, never happy about that necessity, given how much I like overland travel, but I simply don’t have the time and money to get to where I am going without getting on a jet plane. At least it isn’t a short-haul flight. [...]
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
