One day on Santorini, Greece

This is another short movie that tells the tale of my one day on the island of Santorini, Greece in 2009, which ended with finding a hidden church overlooking a spectacular sunset...

Going to Asia for the winter (click here to follow my travels on Facebook)

I will be traveling to Asia for the winter. In October, 2010 I fly to the Philippines for 3 weeks, and will be spending most of my time there in the stunning Palawan region. From there I will fly to the small city of Kota Kinabalu on the island of Borneo, Malaysia for a week. Then I fly to Bali and will be there (and other islands in that area) for 3 weeks. After that I fly to Kuala Lumpur, the largest city in Malaysia for a week. And then I'll fly to New Delhi, India. At this point I'm planning to spend the whole winter in India, staying mostly in one little village on the Ganges River, practicing yoga and meditation, writing and all-around relaxing and chilling out. I will be documenting my travels with photos, videos, travel stories, etc. on Facebook instead of here on my blog, because I prefer the video and photo quality there, and also it's easier for people to see when I've posted new stuff.

Jasper, Alberta (click here for photos)

I'm now back in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada; where I worked before around a year-and-a-half ago. After my 4 1/2-month trip this past fall to Greece, Egypt and Turkey, I decided to come back up to Canada to work again and hopefully ski for the winter. I first went to another small ski town, Fernie in British Columbia, which I'd heard nice things about. I stayed there for three weeks, and even moved into a house with a housemate. But after three weeks I hadn't gotten a single call back from an employer and the money was running low.

So I called up here to the company that I'd worked for previously (actually I did this after a little over a week, to cover my butt in case I didn't find anything). They had one position available, working at the front desk of one of their hotels, and they offered it to me after a phone interview. I took it and came up here by Greyhound (I sold the car back in Portland) and settled in. And as it turns out, I realized that I like Jasper better anyways, so it's good to be back. They also offer employee housing that's affordable, so I have my own room in a two-bedroom apartment, which I'm sharing with a guy from the Philippines. I plan to stick it out here at least into the summer and most likely until the fall, but of course we'll just see.

World Travelers Forum (click here)

I've created a group on Facebook called the World Travelers Forum, for travelers to post photos, videos and stories, as well as interact and share tips and ideas about where they've traveled, where they want to go and how best to go about it. Click on the subject line above to go to the page and check it out (you'll need to have a Facebook account). While you're at it, feel free to add me as a friend if you like. And, go ahead and post some of your favorite or most interesting photos and videos for others to see.

Slideshow Greece 2009 (click here)

I did some more organizing of my photos, including creating separate slideshows for each country that I went to during my 4-month trip this past fall to Greece, Egypt and Turkey. (Previously the photos were all jumbled together in no particular order). So you can now see them in chronological order, and from each country separately so that you know where they're actually taken. Click on the subject line above to see my best photos from Greece. And then look below to see the slideshows for Egypt and Turkey.

Downtown Fernie, B.C.

I just arrived today in Fernie, British Columbia, where I plan to stay for the winter and perhaps longer. Here's a video of the quaint little downtown area.
