Thereās some locations that are almost indescribable in their beauty and uniqueness. To wake up and experience a place like Iguazu Falls before the public gates open is a special offering. With the sound of the waterfalls in the distance and around the clock access, I canāt recommend a stay at @belmondhoteldascataratas highly enough. One of my favorite places in the world Iāve had the honor to photograph šø
Nothing more I love than watching the sky transform from golden yellows to deeper hues. Every night is a new palette to work with šØ. Iāve never considered myself artistic, but always feel inspired to see what I can make when I have a camera in hand.
When I reflect on my most impactful travel experiences itās always the places that deliver a dose of variety. I want mornings in nature. I want golden hour watching the waves catch color. I want the rush of a vibrant city. Give me mountains, beaches, wildlife, vineyards, and food I wonāt forget.
Itās a big ask and one I feel few places can deliver on. Australia is one of the few that has it all. I feel like I scratch 1% of the surface and even then I went home feeling like I experienced so much. What a privilege to travel and be exposed to new sights, tastes, and people.

Welcome to Mdina, The Silent City. With ancient limestone walls and sweeping views over the island, Maltaās ancient capital is one of a kind. Highly suggest visiting in the morning or around sunset for a peaceful walk that transports you back in time.
Spring is in the air in @visitmalta š¼šŗšø
Malta has quietly grown into one of my favorite places to visit. It has such a unique blend of history, nature, and you can find peace and quiet all around the island. This was my favorite of my three visits because the hills were green and wildflowers were everywhere.
Itās a challenge to find beautiful places nowadays that feel relatively undiscovered but each time I leave Iām left with that sense of satisfaction. A rare feeling, but one Iāve grown to appreciate traveling as much as I do. Hereās a selection of favorites from a week of exploring this beautiful country.
A bucket list experience and a dinner Iāll never forget š
The @visitmalta International Fireworks Festival draws in teams from all around the world to compete with the Grand Harbour in Valletta as the backdrop. This competition lasts for weeks and shows are synced to music. Imagine being treated to a couple hours of incredible pyrotechnics while you have a world-class meal. Pure magic!
Valletta and its limestone walls illuminating in the glow of sunrise. Itās incredible thinking of the history within these streets and how many generations have laid eyes on this view over the centuries. An inspiring city to photograph.
A beautiful kickoff to a week exploring @visitmalta š
A dark and rainy morning gave way to one of the most breathtaking days Iāve witnessed. Rainbows arched across the sky, so vibrant they seemed to defy time. It was a moment Iāll never forget, but above all else the perfect metaphor for life.
You see, most view the rain as gloom to be endured. For me, itās the key to color on the horizon. Just like darkness unlocks the Milky Way, if you look hard enough thereās always an angle for optimism.
Try to distance judging a season by its immediate discomfort. The value of a moment isnāt found in its present state, but in what is building in the distance.
Some places defy beauty and live full time in my memories. This water color. The way the breeze sails through the palm trees. The lagoon flowing in and out. All these little beautiful moments add up to an incredible chapter in my travel journey. Thereās so many pictures I enjoy looking back on but hereās a few favorites š
