Today is another travel day. I used to get excited to say that, but now I wish I could stay put for just a little longer. But the show must go on! I thought a good post for today would be showing a video I shot with my drone earlier this week in Wanaka, New Zealand. The video was shot via my DJI Phantom 3 Drone (recently repaired) and the camera was controlled by my … [Read more...] about Stunning Drone Video of New Zealand Lakes and Mountains

Episode 6: Becoming a Better Travel Photographer (Part 1)
Welcome to the One Way Podcast for another week. This is our last week of stability before a whirlwind of trips that will lead us to island nations, island continents, the middle east and Europe. It starts with hopping into a camper van to drive New Zealand, and I am not sure how the Internet will be along the way. Probably not good. So I am recording a multi part podcast here … [Read more...] about Episode 6: Becoming a Better Travel Photographer (Part 1)

Greetings from Central Otago Wine Country in New Zealand. It's quite lovely here, and I am trying to spend as much time as possible taking photos.

A Room With A View in New Zealand (Guess the Hotel?)
I am currently holed up in my hotel room in New Zealand working on a webinar that I need to deliver tomorrow. Mrs. Jeffsetter is in town taking care of laundry and other errands, since this will be our first extended stop in a town since we left Hawaii. This is probably one of the most boring days we have had in travel in the past 2 months, but I also find these days … [Read more...] about A Room With A View in New Zealand (Guess the Hotel?)
A Few Beautiful Landscapes of Waiheke Island in New Zealand
Today is a travel day, so I am going to make the post entirely visual. Here are a few photos taken over the weekend on Waiheke Island in New Zealand. Actually, all pictures were taken within about 3 minutes of each other from the same vantage point on the island. It's always amazing how a slightly different angle, or a photo crop can impact the mood of the picture. … [Read more...] about A Few Beautiful Landscapes of Waiheke Island in New Zealand

Hyatt Regency Minneapolis Hotel Review – An All Around Solid Hotel
If it's alright with you, I'm just going to finish off my backlog of Twin Cities hotels today and be done with it. While I lived in San Francisco for a year and currently live out of a suitcase, my roots are very much still planted in Minnesota. When I come back into town to teach or speak, I usually stay with my family. On a few occasions, though, I will get a hotel. In June … [Read more...] about Hyatt Regency Minneapolis Hotel Review – An All Around Solid Hotel
