Dubai’s Historic Estuary – Friday’s Weekly Travel Photo

Gentle waves rocking old Dhous as they line historic quays. The soft sound of bare feet on salt cured wood as old deck hands wander from sliver of shade to sliver of shade. The muttering putter of over-sized and oft-re…

In 2007 I set out on a three-month solo trip through Europe, in 2011 I re-located to Copenhagen. I’ve been authoring VirtualWayfarer ever since with a focus on sharing stories, musings, and advice through a visually and narrative rich format. I’m also the author of Practical Curiosity: The Guide to Life, Love & Travel and the inventor of the MistDefender lens cloth.

I document my travels on a Sony A7RV and iPhone 16Pro.
