About
Welcome to Travel Notes & Beyond, a collection of travel stories, photos and personal opinions focusing on known and less known travel destinations. This is where you you’ll find tales from my travels and also learn about other people’s culture, history, food and more. Hopefully, this is where you’ll get inspired, informed and engaged.
Travel Notes & Beyond was born out of my passion for travel and photography. My love affair with the snapshots started back in the days of analog photography when, together with my husband, I was developing black-and-white films in our basement. Wherever I am in the world you’ll find me behind my camera, trying to catch the essence of each place, the culture and the people. It may sound strange, but I can’t enjoy visiting any place if I don’t have my camera with me. Memories come and go, but what you have caught on camera is captured forever. Photography taught me how to look at things. Looking at them through my lens taught me how to look at them without a lens.
Before blogging, I worked in accounting for 20 years and also volunteered for different organizations in my community. During that time I developed a special interest for publishing and editing as I designed and published several newsletters, pamphlets and brochures for these organizations.In addition to my travel blog I also do freelance travel writing for a couple of online travel magazines.
Occasionally, I offer travel advice and practical tips based on my own experience. I blog about twice a week, including The Weekly Postcard – a collection of snapshot-stories. So join me as I explore the world as I’ve been dreaming to do for so long. Happy reading!
