Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.
The NorCal Coast
This summer I was given an opportunity to take a drive down Highway 1 to shoot some coastal scenes for a local magazine. I was expecting it to be fun, but I was honestly not expecting such raw (and cultivated) beauty. Nor was I expecting to see such a change in the coastal vistas and offerings from Pacifica to Paso Robles.

Telluride
Nestled in a remote valley of the jagged San Juan Mountains in Colorado, Telluride draws visitors from around the world with its blend of old Western charm, vibrant contemporary culture, and breathtaking scenery. Originally a mining town, Telluride boomed in the late 19th century with the discovery of gold, silver, and, you guessed it, Tellurium. It was in Telluride that Butch Cassidy and his gang robbed one of their first banks. Telluride played a huge role in the creation of the Labor Movement with its mining worker strikes in the early 1900’s. And it became one of the first towns in the world to have commercial alternating current electricity thanks to Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse.

The Beautiful South
I went to America for the first time in 2022, and I absolutely loved it. I couldn’t wait to be back, and this time the itinerary was a specific part of the country that I’ve always wanted to travel through – namely the journey from Nashville, to Memphis, to “the big easy” New Orleans. My dad and I had saved for a long time to do this, and we finally had the opportunity. We set off from Heathrow (a perfectly pleasant flight with the obligatory British Airways’ complimentary booze and a badly streamed England win in the Euros) and touched down in our first stop, Music City itself, Nashville, Tennessee. It was good to be back where it’s actually hot in summer, and we took a taxi straight to our hotel in the middle of Opryland to immediately start appreciating the weather and what else the city had to offer.

Amazing Niagara Falls
You know what water sounds like when it's gushing down. It is a sort of roaring identified with waterfalls. If you didn't see Niagara Falls first but heard the falls, you would hear the sound of thousands of opened water taps gushing out water. Your ears fill with the sound, and then you see the falls and the surrounding beauty, and it is so amazing it could make your eyes misty.
