Moving is always a scary thought. Youโll basically be leaving a place you called home for a long time in favor of one that you barely know. Itโs scary enough to move to a different city โ let alone abroad. However, the more prepared you are, the less scary it becomes. When you are moving abroad, you need to be aware of the fact that youโll be leaving your comfort zone. You probably wonโt even be using the same language โ so itโs going to be a big change. Things wonโt be easy from the very beginning โ but they…
Whats The Context? Sunsets can be unpredictable at times. Sometimes you get nothing but an sliver of orange as the sun crawls behind the horizon. And other times you get this. Where the air around you seems to glow with the most unnatural shades of red, orange, and purple. And given the religious connotation of St. Peters Square, it makes this shot even more interesting for me. Iโm not a religious cat, but I do believe there are things in nature we just canโt fully predict. And scenes like this remind me how special just being in the moment can…
Whats The Context? Angkor Wat Temple Complex, aka Angkor Archaeological Park, is easily one of my favorite places to photograph anywhere in the world. The temples preservation, the people, and the culture all come together to create the perfect storm for a travel photographer. My good friend had never actually been to Angkor Wat despite living in Thailand his entire life. So we decided to grab a $40 flight from Bangkok to Siem Reap. This was during rainy season so the crowds were relatively sparse. The rains added another layer of character to the complex which I really enjoyed capturing.
Whatโs The Context? While I love pretty much all Markets I visit, one of my favorites is in Taipei. This is Shilin Night Market. Easily one Southeast Asiaโs largest and most popular night markets. Talk about sensory overload. Neon lights, pulsing music, tightly packed crowds, and food. Ohhhhhh the food. As an American and frequent European market visitor, Iโm used to being able to identify pretty much everything. Well that goes out the window here. I couldnโt tell you what half the stuff here was. And thatโs part of the fun. Shooting cities for the first time always gets me…
Minority Nomad started with one simple goal. To inspire and help kids from marginalized communities travel the world. So programs like ScholarTrips is something I can fully get behind. Allianz Travel Insurance started the ScholarTrips program in 2004. Since then theyโve awarded over $150,000 in scholarships to US students. A substantial amount when it comes to studying abroad. Today marks the first day of their 2018 campaign. And I’m happy to bring it to you.ย Programs like ScholarTrips gives people a chance at travel when they normally might not have the opportunity. Particularly for those from less fortunate backgrounds. While…
While I believe environment impacts personality, I believe character is developed through exploration. Particularly in places you arenโt familiar with. Which is why moving abroad is romantic. Well romantic in the ways itโs being presented these days. With the โQuit Your Corporate Job and Travel the Worldโ advocates taking up all the headlines. Some part of me agrees with those presenting this narrative. And I honestly believe itโs well-intentioned. But rarely do these adventurous pieces of content delve into the reality of moving abroad. Personal, Financial, and Cultural scenarios need to be taken into consideration before making this leap.I have…
