Crossing the boot

Crossing the boot

Bopping around Basilicata region with two of my nearest and dearest, drinking wine and looking for doves. Can’t get better than that, can you?

Amalfi coasting

Curiousing around the Amalfi Coast with Ramon and dearest friends. There is walking, and there is eating. And escaping the influencers.

Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Capri

Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Capri

Vesuvius, Pompeii and Capri – three wildly different perspectives from Campania, the region Napoli calls home.

More Mongolia

More Mongolia

More from an amazing week in Ulanbaatar, Mongolia: history, food and music. Such an engaging, exciting, unknown place. A week was not enough!

Oops in a remote corner of Mongolia

Oops in a remote corner of Mongolia

My first 18 hours in Mongolia were eventful, evocative, awe-inspiring, and ultimately divine. Thank goodness for cold weather gear… and yaks!!

Exploring Campania

Snippets from explorations around the capital of Campania and environs, and not a lot of talk. These are 1000-word scenes for sure.
