National Parks

Places to see in Thailand

Thailand construes to mean ‘the land of the free’ and true to its name, there are so many free things that you can only get in Thailand. Thailand lies in the heart and soul of Southeast Asia and is arguably the most beautiful place in the world. Be it the mouth watering dishes, lush green forests, the soothing winds, and the alluring beaches, you are sure to experience true exotic beauty, but only upon visiting Thailand.

National parks around Seattle

Exploring three great parks near Seattle, three different ways. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Mt. Rainier more than 25 years ago.

Shortly after moving to Seattle, I was riding the bus on Highway 99. I looked out the window to see the mountain standing impossibly tall, given its location nearly 90 miles from the city. I craned my neck until Mt. Rainier passed out of view.

Visiting Florida Keys and Key West

To the south, Key West has a Mardi Gras mood with Fantasy Festivals, Hemingway look-alike contests and the occasional threat to secede from the Union. It’s an island whose melting-pot character allows crusty natives to mingle (more or less peacefully) with eccentrics and escape artists who lovingly call this 4-mi sandbar “Paradise.” Although life elsewhere in the island chain isn’t quite as offbeat, it’s nearly as diverse.

The wonders of Banff National Park

Capturing the beauty of Canada’s natural treasure. Canada is filled with awe-inspiring scenic vistas, and the Rocky Mountain views of Banff National Park are probably the most jaw-dropping of them all. Be it winter or summer, Banff makes for the perfect canvas for a photographer’s lens. It’s massive, it’s barren, its filled with beauty and outdoor adventures.
