Tucked into the rugged hills of Castile and León, the ruins of the Monastery of Santa María de la Sierra feel like they’ve been left behind by time itself. The Cistercian monks who founded it in the 13th century must have chosen this site for its solitude—surrounded by dense forests, rocky ridges, and the silence of mountains that look almost painted in layers of green and … [Read more...] about Monastery of Santa María de la Sierra, Segovia, Spain

There’s a particular kind of beauty in those moments when travel and routine collide—when you’re far from home but still find time to lace up your shoes, unroll a mat, and let your body move. The photo captures that spirit perfectly: a man and a woman working through their training session outdoors, benches lining the side like an audience of weathered wood, the world moving … [Read more...] about Exercising While Travelling

Some travel photographs don’t show you the grand monuments or sweeping vistas but instead capture a fragment, a sliver of everyday life that feels like slipping behind the curtain of a city. This image is exactly that—a view framed by a doorway, looking from shadow into light, from quiet into chatter. The old tiled floor leads your eyes straight toward the heart of the scene: a … [Read more...] about Through the Doorway of Rua das Flores

This photo feels like a slice of daily life, the kind of moment that tourists rarely stumble into because it isn’t dressed up for visitors. You can almost hear the clinking of cups and the low hum of conversation in the small café or bakery. The counter glass is full of pastries—flaky, uneven, a bit rustic—which means they were probably baked right there, not engineered for … [Read more...] about Eat Where Locals Eat

There’s something irresistible about slipping into a café before the rest of the day claims you. The streets may still be waking up, shutters only half-open, yet through the glass of a little corner coffee shop you catch the murmur of conversation, the soft clang of cups, and the unfussy joy of people greeting the morning in their own ways. These images capture that fragile, … [Read more...] about Morning Coffee Culture, Hidden Corners, and the Warmth of Baristas

There’s a certain drama in standing before St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna after the city has gone quiet, when the last echoes of tourists fade and the Gothic spires glow in the lamplight. The photograph captures this mood perfectly: the massive stone structure rising dark and solemn against a storm-brushed sky, its intricate façade glowing faintly red as if it were lit from … [Read more...] about St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna by Night

The whole culture of travel has shifted. There was a time when backpacking meant hardship by design—damp hostels with cold showers, dodgy night buses, waking up to find your bag rifled through, or getting sick off street food in a tiny town you couldn’t even pronounce. And oddly enough, those exact experiences became badges of honor. You compared scars, almost, when you got … [Read more...] about When Backpacking Meant Something Else

Travel photography is supposed to feel like freedom. Wandering through side streets, catching a glimpse of someone leaning out of a balcony, noticing the way light folds around a cathedral spire—it’s all about being open to the unexpected. But then there’s the other way: walking around with a camera the size of a small bazooka strapped to your hip, weighed down with lenses, … [Read more...] about Go Light, Don’t Be That Photographer

San Francisco always surprises me, but sometimes it’s not the big landmarks that stay with you—it’s the smaller, smokier corners. I was walking down Market Street, weaving past commuters and tourists, when a smell pulled me out of the noise. It wasn’t subtle either—it was bold and unmistakable, the kind of scent that stops you in your tracks: onions caramelizing, peppers … [Read more...] about Smoke and Flavor on the Streets of San Francisco

One of the things that always strikes me when I’m out with my camera is how much people add another dimension to travel. Cities are beautiful on their own—the streets, the architecture, the light—but it’s the people who animate them, who inject mood and rhythm into the scene. Every city has its own backdrop, but it’s the travelers, locals, and passersby who become the moving … [Read more...] about I Love Randomly Shooting People While Travelling
