San Gerardo de Rivas, Costa Rica
Do you want to live vicariously through me?
Or maybe you wish to add a few locations to your bucket list?
My wife Kelli and I have circled the globe for a decade. We have spent a fair chunk of time in the States the prior 3 years but changed time zones like most folks change their minds, for a handful of years.
Let us take a blogging break today. Becoming a successful blogger demands you relax, detach from blogging and enjoy other aspects of life.
I want to share 20 eye popping photos from my world travels with you.
Note:
- I used no filter for these photos; everything is natural/organic/as is
- Kelli and I snapped most of these suckers with a Cannon SX700 HS
- I am a traveler and at times, travel blogger but my camera game is little; God took over on these shots
Enjoy.
