13 Favorite Photos From 2013

January 15, 2014 Photo Essays, Travel

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to choose thirteen photos to highlight from over 8,000?
Yes, that is roughly how many photos I took traveling last year.
So, how did I choose?  I poured over every last picture to find one from each country.  The criteria was quite simple: make me feel like I’m back there.
I selected photographs that I hope will transport you to each place.  It’s my way of sharing the journey with you.
I’ll be bringing you many more photos now that I’ve finally sorted through them.
Without further adieu….are we there yet?

      Thank you, Rika! I had to narrow using some sort of criteria or I never could have picked! Glad you enjoyed them 🙂

      Yes, Danielle! I get that question a lot — should I bring my DSLR or other bulky camera with me when traveling? I always answer…absolutely! It’s a non-negotiable for me 🙂
      Happy travels!
