The Free Trip That Never Was: My Dominica Challenge Application

by

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about a cool offer being put out by the country of Dominica to visit their island and film, photograph or write about your experience. At the time I was skeptical about applying for the Dominica Challenge due to travel already being booked over these dates, but after some convincing by Mrs. Jeffsetter we decided to apply at the last minute. … [Read more...] about The Free Trip That Never Was: My Dominica Challenge Application

Iguana on a Rock, Frenchtown, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

by

This week's photo comes from December of 2013. While walking along the waterfront in Charlotte Amalie on the island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, we happened upon a harbor in an area called Frenchtown while looking for a pizza place called Pie Whole. While taking a moment to rest and enjoy another view of the harbor, we noticed a large and proud iguana hanging on … [Read more...] about Iguana on a Rock, Frenchtown, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

Avid Traveler and Aspiring Filmmaker? Dominica Welcomes You!

Eye of the Crocodile in Cairns, Australia [Photo of the Week]

by

While I would like to say that this photo was taken in a naturally occurring setting, the reality is that this Crocodile photo was taken while at Hartley's Crocodile Adventures in Cairns, Australia back in 2011. Come to think of it, maybe it is a good thing that I was not in a place where I was this close to crocodiles, because that would have meant a few too many wrong turns … [Read more...] about Eye of the Crocodile in Cairns, Australia [Photo of the Week]

Across the Lake from San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina [Photo of the Week]

by

There's something about cities situated on lakes and surrounded by mountains that makes me happy. Queenstown, New Zealand is one of those cities - a place that is famous for allowing you to both downhill ski and water ski in the same day. San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina is another. Situated on a lake, it serves as a gateway for those who want to visit the rugged … [Read more...] about Across the Lake from San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina [Photo of the Week]

St. Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest [Photo of the Week]

by

Normally my photo of the week highlights a photo taken several weeks/months/years ago. Today I am doing things differently by posting a photo that I literally took 5 minutes before I entered this coffee shop to get onto the Internet. Hot off the presses from Budapest! My main reason for posting this particular photo? Because I feel guilty that I have been in Hungary for 4 … [Read more...] about St. Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest [Photo of the Week]

Photo of the Week: Christmas Markets in Milan

by

Jeffsetter has been radio silent the past 7 days and for that I apologize. I shut the laptop down before we boarded our flight to Milan and didn't pick it up for a solid 4 days. Since I only write posts on my laptop (not on the iPad), that meant no posts while I was in Milan. I finally picked up my computer in the Milan departure lounge to download and organize the 600+ … [Read more...] about Photo of the Week: Christmas Markets in Milan
