My Travel Values

The tours & workshops might be right for you if we share the same core values :

RELAX

You like a combination of photography workshops and vacation.

You might prefer to have your own personal chill-out time or choose to hang out and dine with new friends from the group whenever you feel like it.

Whatever you decide, just relax and have a great time!
RESPONSIBILITY

You have a social conscience.

We travel in small groups and support the local economy by frequenting independently owned businesses.

We interact culturally with the local people.

We believe in social & environment responsibility. We limit our use of plastics.
FREEDOM

You have complete freedom and choice.

Unless specified, the tours do not include accommodations & meals

You can choose to stay at any accommodation and have meals of your choice, company & budget.

Complete freedom!
FLEXIBILITY

You smile a lot!
Yes you do!

As we travel off the beaten track, we'll sometimes need to adapt around planned events.

Take things in stride and treasure your travel memories.

You are a traveller, not a tourist! Be zen and appreciate the unexpected!

We are all individuals with different needs, expectations and budgets with one common objective - GETTING GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS through meaningful travel experiences.

All workshops, tours and the programs are fully researched, developed and personally arranged. Most land transport at destinations is organised and included in the rates. You just need to book your own choice of accommodation at the tour locations along the route. I'll provide plenty of specific suggestions covering a range of budgets and facilities.

Rates include the tours, workshops and program. Fully transparent. Whatever is not included will be mentioned.

Some locations may need short local flights or surface transportation such as ferries or trains. Should that be the case, you'll receive information, exactly which ones to book and how, so that you can easily make your own arrangements.

The photography workshop & tours are conducted in English, highly interactive within a fun, international and learning atmosphere.

The aim is to give you maximum flexibility so you can enjoy your holidays the way you want while still be part of a small group of photographers and make new friends along the way.

Minimal Impact Travelling

Leave nothing but foot prints.
Take nothing but amazing photos!

I want to share my travel photography passion with you! But I also want to do so with minimal impact to the places we visit.

We can contribute to the local economy by visiting small restaurants as well as patronising small local transport providers. We mingle with the people we encounter by interacting with them and understanding their culture, life styles and challenges.

We minimise our environment impact by 'Saying No to Plastics. No to straws'.

Along the way, we will have great photographs and have wonderful memories with our travel companions!

Plant trees! Adopt a turtle!

Be part of the climate solution. Be kind to Mother Earth.

I care about the planet we live in and creating a sustainable business that gives back to nature.

I am partnered with "One Tree Planted". Five trees are planted for each person who travels with me.

What's more, a baby turtle is also adopted and released on your behalf!
