Chasing Wilderness: Why Tasmania Just Hit the Top of My Travel List

December 10, 2025 by Dave3 Comments

I have spent nearly 6 months in Australia over the past 20 years of traveling in this part of that world. I keep returning because of its geographic landscape, history, food, wine scene, and incredible diversity of experiences. And the fact that it never feels over crowded. But the one destination that has eluded me so far has been Tasmania. Recently I began thinking about exploring this island and began doing some research in preparation for a … [Read more...]

Ystad, Southern Sweden – December 2025

December 1, 2025 by DaveLeave a Comment

This picturesque town is a photographers dream, especially during late spring and summer. If the town was only historical buildings (of which there are plenty) it would be a beautiful place - but then throw in the gorgeous array of flowers and blooming trees during this time of year, and if its not too much to ask - warm days with lots of sunshine! For a small town (the core is only about 17,000 people) Ystad packs a punch for tourism. There are … [Read more...]
