Iceland has an incredible bit of birdlife. Puffins, Arctic Terns and Snow Buntings for start But I bet you haven't heard of the best place to see them. It's not where you think... https://buff.ly/4157k3l

Still the best sunrise I've ever seen. Glacier National Park, 2018

Hey, it’s me!

Time for some ice! To my new followers: I'm rather fond of a place called Jökulsárlón in south-east #Iceland. An enormous glacial lagoon is filled with chunks of ice that calve off the glacier, & flow down a little river where they're dumped on the Fellsfjara beaches. It is quite magnificent :)

No wonder Havasu is so popular. It’s the very definition of a perfect oasis 😍

Travel writers, go forth and pitch whatever the hell you want to with the audacity of the NYT publishing two unrelated stories about visiting McDonald's abroad within seven days

On this day in 1986 I was at a diner in Concord, NH watching the Challenger take off with Christa McAuliffe on board. Everyone was so proud all around us. Not ready for what was coming. How could we have been. I keep thinking about it today.

Best bit of running a travel company? Aside from making people very happy, it’s the trip research👇

My trip down memory lane of the trip to the Dolomites in July wouldn't be complete without this photo of the nerve-racking helicopter rescue of two rock climbers stuck up on a ledge on the Vajolet Towers... they managed to drop down and attach a new rope and the climbers made it down safely :)

Risked my life taking this photo. Hope it was worth it. 🤣 Christmas lights in #Amsterdam #toptravelpics #travelbloggerscommunity
