✨It’s always golden hour here
✨Southern California based 🌴
✨Travel, Photography, and good vibes along the way
The new era of @United is here.
I had a behind the scenes look at the new features rolling out to the fleet and a walk through the new 787-9 Dreamliner.
✈️ Polaris suites with privacy doors.
🛌 United Relax Row seats in Economy (coming 2027).
🛰️ Starlink speeds that actually beat my home Wi-Fi.
Aviation is evolving fast and I’m already planning the next trip. Which of these features are you most
excited for?

One of the craziest things I’ve ever photographed on a walk in Maui. Out towards Molokaʻi I saw what appeared as a rainbow under a cloud. Luckily had a 400mm zoom lens and was able to get a closer look. I guess we can call this rainbow rain? 🌈💧
Anyone ever seen anything like this before?

There’s some locations that are almost indescribable in their beauty and uniqueness. To wake up and experience a place like Iguazu Falls before the public gates open is a special offering. With the sound of the waterfalls in the distance and around the clock access, I can’t recommend a stay at @belmondhoteldascataratas highly enough. One of my favorite places in the world I’ve had the honor to photograph 📸

Nothing more I love than watching the sky transform from golden yellows to deeper hues. Every night is a new palette to work with 🎨. I’ve never considered myself artistic, but always feel inspired to see what I can make when I have a camera in hand.

When I reflect on my most impactful travel experiences it’s always the places that deliver a dose of variety. I want mornings in nature. I want golden hour watching the waves catch color. I want the rush of a vibrant city. Give me mountains, beaches, wildlife, vineyards, and food I won’t forget.
It’s a big ask and one I feel few places can deliver on. Australia is one of the few that has it all. I feel like I scratch 1% of the surface and even then I went home feeling like I experienced so much. What a privilege to travel and be exposed to new sights, tastes, and people.
📍Highlights from a @united trip to Kangaroo Island, Barossa Valley, Melbourne, and a road trip down The Great Ocean Road.

It’s rare to find something powerful as a great sunset that can make the whole world stop, breathe, and look up at the exact same time.
Flying is such a gift. One thing I’ll never take for granted no matter how many plane rides I take.

Welcome to Mdina, The Silent City. With ancient limestone walls and sweeping views over the island, Malta’s ancient capital is one of a kind. Highly suggest visiting in the morning or around sunset for a peaceful walk that transports you back in time.

Spring is in the air in @visitmalta 🌼🌺🌸
Malta has quietly grown into one of my favorite places to visit. It has such a unique blend of history, nature, and you can find peace and quiet all around the island. This was my favorite of my three visits because the hills were green and wildflowers were everywhere.
It’s a challenge to find beautiful places nowadays that feel relatively undiscovered but each time I leave I’m left with that sense of satisfaction. A rare feeling, but one I’ve grown to appreciate traveling as much as I do. Here’s a selection of favorites from a week of exploring this beautiful country.

A bucket list experience and a dinner I’ll never forget 🎇
The @visitmalta International Fireworks Festival draws in teams from all around the world to compete with the Grand Harbour in Valletta as the backdrop. This competition lasts for weeks and shows are synced to music. Imagine being treated to a couple hours of incredible pyrotechnics while you have a world-class meal. Pure magic!
Valletta and its limestone walls illuminating in the glow of sunrise. It’s incredible thinking of the history within these streets and how many generations have laid eyes on this view over the centuries. An inspiring city to photograph.
A beautiful kickoff to a week exploring @visitmalta 🌅
