We’re two travelers who believe the world reveals itself slowly — in the quiet moments between destinations, in the conversations that happen by chance, and in the landscapes that ask you to stop and simply look. We’re not racing to check countries off a list. We prefer long journeys, deep experiences, and the kind of travel that leaves room for curiosity.
Over the years, our travels have taken us from the Arctic circle of Scoresby Sound to the savannas of Kenya, from the volcanic highlands of Iceland to the rainforests of Uganda, from European museums to the aurora-lit skies of Abisko. Each place has changed us in ways we didn’t expect — and each one has left us with stories worth sharing.

Our travels began long before retirement — squeezed into school breaks, long weekends, and the narrow windows working life allowed. We started traveling in earnest in 2013, but could only truly explore during summer vacations. We started with places that felt familiar: the museums, old streets, and landscapes of Western Europe. Over time, those early trips became stepping‑stones, each journey stretching our curiosity a little farther and nudging us toward wilder, more remote places.
In 2017, something shifted. We picked up our cameras with more intention, not to chase perfect shots but to slow down and pay closer attention. Photography became a way of seeing — a practice that taught us to notice light, texture, quiet moments, and the small details that often slip past hurried travelers. It deepened our connection to the places we visited and changed how we remembered them.
Now that we’re both recently retired, we travel with a different rhythm: longer stays, deeper experiences, and a growing desire to reach the farther edges of the planet. Past destinations is a collection of summaries from the destinations that shaped us — the cities that surprised us, the landscapes that humbled us, and the journeys that taught us how to look more closely at the world.

We’ve created a “story” for each journey — a narrative built from our notes, memories, and the photographs that best captured the experience. These stories form the heart of the Past Destinations section of this site.
But every trip leaves behind far more moments than a single story can hold. Along the way, we took many additional photographs: quiet details, unexpected scenes, wildlife encounters, landscapes, and glimpses of daily life that didn’t make it into the main narrative.
We’ve gathered those images into curated galleries for each destination. If you’d like to wander a little deeper — to see the places we visited through a wider lens — these collections are yours to explore at your leisure.
