It's such a joy to share some of my more personal work... the very part of life that makes my heart beat just a little bit faster and my smile grow immeasurably wider. Sharing photos and written ramblings about my time exploring this great planet is a rare treat and, thanks to the inspiring women at Naya Traveler who are taking the tourism industry by storm with their tailor-made & purposeful travel, I feel fortunate to share insight into my time discovering the little-known wonders of Myanmar (formerly Burma). For anyone also interested in traveling with "Naya" (Purpose) be sure to check out the great work they're doing.

Explore the magical world of steamed peanuts, thanaka face painting, golden everything, and betel chewing leaves in my guest write-up about Myanmar hosted on Naya Traveler.

If you can't quite get enough, delve into the wonders of North Africa in my previous Naya Traveler feature about Morocco. And to see even more from my Myanmar adventures, be sure to check out the new Bagan & Inle Lake galleries now live on the new "adventure" section of my site.
