Is there a region that is so beautiful it impresses you time after time? Southern Oregon Coast is exactly that place for me! Rugged cliffs covered with evergreens, hills covered with wildflowers, sunsets so stunning you cannot breathe, or foggy days that cover you like a soft blanket, waterfalls, and mountains, how can all of…

Kauai: Photographic Journey
How do you plan your trips, or do you plan them at all? My approach is: find a beautiful photo and plan the day around the location of it. I used the same approach when planned a Hawaiian trip. The only problem is that the whole of Kauai looks like a paradise. So the following…
Winter road trip in New Mexico
Two years ago, we drove into New Mexico for a week-long Christmas road trip. I had a long list of places I wanted to see, experience, and photograph. However, a few days before our flight, it became clear that it would not be the case. It was a year of several weeks long government shutdown…
Northern Sierra Nevada Fall Road Trip
I am continuing to rebuke the myth that there is no Fall in California. The itinerary below was done as two weekend trips in the middle of October. It’s needed to say that the Fall season in that year started a bit later but still on the third weekend of October, some higher elevation groves…
Active Napa Fall Trip
What do you think about Napa? Fancy tastings? Picnics near the vines? Accidental peddling between wineries and tasty dinner? It could be, but don’t allow those thoughts to trick you. Napa could be full of active adventures (mixed with all things from above)! Early Morning Drive Silverado Trail Nothing could bit early morning fall drive….

My recommendations for hikes there (all are on the easy side, remember that hiking in Arizona should take time, season and weather in consideration) Fay Canyon Trail (and arch) – a very…
US Canada Rocky Mountains National Parks Trip
oIf to think, there are only a few road trips that I would repeat without any changes a few more times. And this Canada-US Rocky Mountains road trip is one of them. What I will describe further is our July trip. Except for Glacier, we spent the only day in each region. However, it could…
Lassen National Park
If one day someone asks me what my two favorite California National Parks are, I would say Lassen and Redwoods. No, not Yosemite – that is amazing but always busy, sometimes way too busy to be enjoyable. Not Death Valley, which is though very likable but still is a desert that is deadly half of…
Bavaria Roadtrip
It was the most unforgettable trip I ever had. The mix of impressive Alps and fairy tale villages and castles, what could be better? The only regret that I had only four days, otherwise I would explore more. We started in Munich Airport, picked the rental car and en route. Here my plans crashed the…
