My Cultural Travel Photography Blog
This is the space where I share experiences, travel and photography tips, travel-related recommendations and anything else that may be of interest to the international cultural traveler.
To now most of my travel photography experiences have been in Mexico (and continue to be), although in 2019 I hope to be visiting other Latin American countries, and perhaps some countries in Asia, Africa and / or Europe.
I am allowing comments on the blog posts, so feel free to contribute any additional information to supplement what I have provided. I hope for this to be useful to travelers that is developed and shared as a community.
