Why Malta Should be Your Next Travel Destination

By |August 9th, 2024|Europe, Travel|

In the summer of 2023, amidst soaring flight costs and a rescheduled Elton John concert, I turned to Airbnb in search of a whimsical escape. What began as a quest for a Mediterranean castle transformed into a reality when I discovered a stunning 18th-century palace on the island of Malta. Despite knowing little about Malta, the idea captured my friends’ imaginations, and we soon set off for this enchanting destination. Malta, often overshadowed by larger European spots, is a gem brimming with history, culture, and gorgeous coastlines and rugged cliffs. Malta is a perfect travel choice for any adventurer and I'm here to tell you why.

24 Hours in London

By |July 22nd, 2024|Commercial Photography, Europe, Travel|

As a major global hub, I always consider London an ideal stopover to break up my travel. By flying on a non-stop flight from my origin in the US, I can easily adjust to the new time zone, thanks to overnight flights. In short, I view spending 24 hours in London as a way to prevent flight delays or cancellations that would affect my trip, acclimate to the local time, stretch my legs, and then enjoy an easy non-stop flight to my next destination. This summer, a group of us rented an 18th-century palace in Malta for a week, and flying to London for 24 hours made getting to this tiny Mediterranean island much less of a headache. Here's my recommendations for an easy way to enjoy 24 hours in London.

By |February 26th, 2024|Commercial Photography, Tips for Creatives, Wine|

California winemaking is a fiercely competitive market, and while wineries in the Sierra Foothills aren't exactly trying to compete with Napa and Sonoma by any means, they also understand the importance of establishing a distinctive brand identity to thrive in the tourism market.  This identity is going to reflect my backyard: the region's unique characteristics, values, and personality, which are infinitely more relaxed than the hustle and bustle of California's larger cities.
