The Sepik River area of Papua New Guinea is one of the biggest draws to the country because of the beautiful artifacts and artwork produced by the local tribes. But the area is rich with wild- and tribal-life, too. Read More…
Favorite Photo Editing Apps
I work from home and spend a lot of time by myself (except when I’m talking to others in my head – HA HA!) As a result, I’m not surrounded by the same osmosis that a lot of people get from an office environment. That can be a good great thing but I miss it Read More…
Papua New Guinea Mt. Hagen 2016 Tour Announced
If you’ve spent time with me or been following this blog for awhile, you likely know how enamored I am with Papua New Guinea. I don’t remember an exact moment, but my love affair with PNG likely started with the cover of a National Geographic magazine. My parents were subscribers and I’m sure I was Read More…
Hill Tribes of Northern Thailand – Our Tour in Photos
We ran our first ever Thailand and Laos tour in November. I’ve been so busy posting about the Snowman Trek, that I have not given this much exposure but I didn’t want to neglect such an amazing trip. We had a full group of 16 women on that tour. We toured Bangkok and then traveled Read More…

PNG is one of my very favorite destinations because it is so crazy diverse. There are approximately 850 tribes in the country. The jungle terrain is Read More…
Survival International Denounces Jimmy Nelson’s Before They Pass Away
When I first saw the book, Before They Pass Away by Jimmy Nelson, I was so taken with all the images that I immediately wanted one. Luckily, it’s a very pricey book so I never took the plunge and purchased one. And that might be a good thing. I recently saw a post on Survival Read More…
Join me for the Bhutan Paro Festival!
I truuuuly love Bhutan and its people. It’s a magical destination where very special things happen. For example, during several of tours we’ve run into the royal family, including one where we met and spoke with the King and Queen (the day after their wedding, no less!). Hiking to Tiger’s Nest often brings tears to Read More…
