Snow, Ice and Water – Obergurgl, Austria

This story begins high above the alps.  It is a story of change. Of transition and of voyage.  It is a story of simple contrasts, long trips, and the small details that define the world around us.  It begins in the uppermost reaches of roiling clouds as they form along the border between the Austr…

The Monkey Soccer Mom – Weekly Travel Photo

While we may differ from monkeys in more than a few ways, some things remain the same.  Young baboons are every bit as curious, rambunctious, and entertaining as human children. They also appear to be every ounce the c…

Oslo Culture Clash – Weekly Travel Photo

Today's feature highlights an interesting cross-section of history. Snapped in the Oslo Fjord, it is of a small fisherman's church (or shrine, I'm not sure which) *Scratch that, I've been told it is a converted lightho…

When Sky, Fire and Water Meet

The sweat from my palms soaked the steering wheel as the tense muscles in my hip throbbed.  My body was on edge and had been for the entirety of the drive south.  Upon arriving in Zambia, I'd been informed by my family…

Elephants Feeding – Weekly Travel Photo

Wild elephants are incredible creatures.  They are intelligent, curious, and have a certain personality to them that conveys a compassionate spirit.  Their relationships with other members of their herd, and their youn…

The Polar Bear Adventure: Part III

It's a cold and blustery day here in Copenhagen.  Snow has been falling all day - the cold air converting biker's deep breaths into jets of steam. The barely audible grunts as they strain against their pedals, pushing their bikes up to speed through the slush, toys with my memory.   The combinatio…

The Polar Bear Adventure: Part II

Whoof. Woof. Wolf?  Our ears were bombarded by a chorus of dog sounds as we stepped out of our vehicle and onto pristine white snow at the Wapusk Dog sledding headquarters. The dogs knew we were there, they had heard u…

Polar Bear Meetings – Weekly Travel Photo

While most of a polar bear's existence is spent in relative isolation, there are times - often during their great migrations - when they find themselves cued up and provided with the opportunity for casual social inter…

Bungee Jumping Victoria Falls – Weekly Travel Photo

I'm not really a fan of heights. Don't get me wrong, I love massive mountains, towering skyscrapers, and cliffs that leave you shaking. I just don't like the fact that you can fall off them. Which probably explains why…

Leopard In The Dark – Weekly Travel Photo

While the racing thud of our heart beats may not have been audible to our insensitive human ears, I wonder if the dull pounding echoed in those of the massive leopard that silently strolled our way. He tolerated us wit…

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.
