Photo Essay: India

2,207: the number of pictures I took in India over a short 24 days. The most out of any country we visited. From people, especially women & their beautiful saris, to street scenes to arches to lattice windows to monuments to carvings to signs to cows & monkeys, India inspired me so much, I couldn't put my camera down. We've shared quite a few pictures with you already, but there were so many more, we decided to add a post packed with photos we didn't already publish. Now, enough talkin', let's get lookin'!

Pano-monium Volume I

Right before we began our trip, I downloaded the Photosynth app on my phone, which enables you to take 360° panoramas. Though it comes with its quirks and doesn't always deliver perfect pictures (you'll notice a few of them have body parts or pieces of landscape missing/discolored), I've been using it continuously over the last year and thought it'd be cool to share them with you. I've included all the ones that came out somewhat decently from Peru all the way to Australia.

Photo Essay: The Tongariro Alpine Crossing

Our hike across the Tongariro Alpine Crossing reached all of our expectations and more. Knowing that the weather there is very fickle, we were prepared for anything. We hoped for the best but expected the worst, especially after hearing one of our Couchsurfer hosts talk about his very foggy hike there. But it seemed that after a rainy day in Abel Tasman, the gods were on our side and we were graced with the most perfect day we could have ever asked for. Blue skies, with some gusty winds, but nothing compared to Patagonia. We were happy as could be.

Photo Essay: Easter Island

Ask my family and friends which place I was most looking forward to visit and they'll give you the same answer: Easter Island. I've been fascinated with the place for a while now so when Tyler found a way for us to make it there using miles, I was over the moon. It's been four months now and I still cannot believe we made it there. We spent 5 days exploring all three corners of this triangular shaped island. From visiting countless moai (statues) platforms, both restored and unrestored, both at sunrise and sunset, hiking up and around craters and enjoying lazy afternoons at the beach, we never ran out of things to do.
