My Adventure in an Indian Tiger Preserve:
Tigers are fascinating and majestic creatures. After my misadventure at a tea plantation, my family headed to the Periyar Tiger Preserve National Park. The national park was a beautiful area covered in dense forest with a series of interconnected lakes. On one of the lakes, there was a small resort where guests could stay the night. Guests had to take a small boat out to the resort, and my father had rented it as an anniversary gift for my mother. When we arrived by boat, we were informed that it was possible to see wild elephants bathing in the lake early in the mornings.

The Ultimate Freedom of Long-Distance Hiking. Top Story - June 2021.
There is nothing like waking up outside. I open my eyes, and I see the morning sun sneaking higher in the sky. I hear the birds singing in the trees. I remember that I am alive, and that today, I will see more wonders of nature around every turn. Maybe there will be mushrooms. Maybe I'll drink the coldest, purest water from a creek running with snowmelt. Sure, the hiking will be hard, and I will feel challenged physically, but the payoff is worth the effort a thousand times over.

A Passion for Nature, Art, and Sharing
My life is filled with passions. The urge to share what I discover in my travels and wild adventures through tropical rainforests, Mediterranean landscapes, arid deserts with subtle but diverse life, and waters that flow through ancient channels filled with life largely unknown. I feel driven to improve my photography and illustration skills to tell better the stories that move me. My desire to please others with my music and art, inspired by romantic tendencies from my adolescent years that I have never been able to outgrow. Growing frustration with the pervasive thought that I’m running out of time to do all that I want to do.

Imagination during Creation
A blank piece of paper is what I'm starting with. A blank piece of paper and a mental image. A memory, actually. A memory so vivid that shifting the image out of my mind and on to this paper is not only going to be so effortless but also comforting. I just know that tonight I'm going back in time.

A Moment in Time
Early mornings on Maui spent paddleboarding out across the glassy open waters have become like a homecoming for my soul. The gentle golden light glistening across the sea as the sun just begins to peak over the top of Haleakala and illuminate the skies with the most glorious and vibrant pastel colors, the sweet sound of the song birds waking up in the tree tops off in the distance, and the expansiveness and peace that comes from gently floating out in the middle of the ocean.

Passport to the Bottom of the Sea
“Shark!” He clearly wanted to shout it but being underwater eliminates that option. For most people that word produces heart pounding palpitations. But not when your goal is to be immersed in the world at the bottom of the sea and observe the unique creatures that inhabit it. Instead, after waving frantically, he quickly put his hands together to make the shark fin sign hoping we would not miss it.

In Search of Hawaiian Sea Turtles
I’m not made for the tropics. My sluggish European blood is better suited to foggy moors and glasses of whiskey by firelight. As we drove along South Kihei Road, the golden ball of the sun hung directly overhead in a way it never does in the northern latitudes I live in. The air-conditioning was roaring, but still, I could feel beads of moisture rolling slowly down the trench of my spine.
