Welcome to my website!

I have created it to write about my travels and share photos which describe them even better than words.  As a keen amateur photographer I strive to capture all the beautiful places I visit on film.
On this website you can find the best images and read about my adventures.

USA 2008  new

3 weeks.  6 thousand miles.  11 states and 9 national parks in virtually all climate zones of this enormous country.  Our journey by car took us from Chicago all the way to the californian coast and back.  On the way we saw some extraoridenary scenery, including natural arches, slot canyon, gigant trees and geysers.  We hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and went to one of the most amazing places in America, called The Wave.

London

Not the most exotic destination on the planet, but certainly one of the most popular.  It's time I include a few photos from London, where I lived for so many years.  The usual landmarks, with exception of the Olympic Flame, which was met with fierce protests against Chinese occupation of Tibet.

France 2008

A visit to the French Alps in winter?  I couldn't miss this opportunity!  Finally I climbed Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps.  Going up was quite straightforward by mountaineering standards.  The weather and conditions were great, no other climbers getting in the way, and we arrived at the top without any problems.  But that's only half the job done, we still had to get down.  We chose to descend the Bossons Glacier, which resulted in some very serious problems.  Crevasse fall and rescue, loss of equipment, 18 hour ordeal without food or drink... But I'm here to tell the story!

Patagonia 2007

my route - South America map

After losing my flight to Europe, I decided to stay in South America for 2 more months and visit Patagonia.  I wanted to see a few places I missed during my first trip to the continent, such as Peninsula Valdez and the South Patagonian Ice Field in Argentina.  Also, I wanted to take the Navimag ferry along the Patagonian Channels in Chile.  Overall, it was a fantastic experience and an unforgettable journey through almost all of the Latin World, from Mexico all the way down to Patagonia.  It took exactly 14 months and ended in the capital of Chile in November.  I don't know when the next big trip will start.  But I can promise photos from the places I will visit in the meantime, like the French Alps, where I'm going to climb during the next 3 weeks.
