Amsterdam in Winter: My Favorite Things To Do

Amsterdam in winter is a true treat. The streets are quieter, the city is sleepier, and there’s a general ‘merry’ atmosphere around December. Oftentimes you’ll wake up to a foggy morning, or if you’re lucky, a light snowfall. On even rarer occasions the Amsterdam canals freeze over and you can go ice skating on them, something I was fortunate enough…

A Canal Boat Ride in Amsterdam, The Netherlands

  There are many reasons why Amsterdam is my favorite city in the world, and why we chose to make it our home base this past summer. For starters — my father is Dutch, so The Netherlands is one of the first European countries I visited as a child. It leaves a lasting impression: the quaint cobblestone streets, smells of…

Looking Forward

It’s been a long two years. I have been fairly silent on here and on social media for a number of reasons, and I’m finally ready to share them. Like so many of you, the last couple years put a hard stop on my plans. I went from traveling every month — most of the month — to staying at…

Camera Gear I’m Using And Loving Right Now

When traveling I’m always trying to find ways to simplify the set up I’m using and make my camera bags lighter. While I own and use a variety of camera gear for different scenarios — this post breaks down even more travel photography gear — lately I’ve been downsizing and taking less camera gear with me.
