First off, I’d like to state that I LOVE ROAD TRIPS! Road tripping a destination, especially an international place is one of the most exciting, intimate, and interesting things you can do, I think. You can come and go as you please, and you can go with the flow, staying in a place because you met some really great locals, or you can move along if something doesn’t quite feel right. I particularly love road tripping around whole countries, because of several reasons, really – it gives me the freedom to stop wherever I want, whenever I want, as I mentioned already, but as a photographer, that’s an invaluable freedom that I like to take advantage of as much as possible – the other reasons are that I really love to get lost, and if I’m always hopping from bus to taxi to train, I will almost always miss a neat village, or a beautiful landscape feature.
I’ve had the lovely experience of traveling around several different countries along my latest eight-month trek through Europe, Northern Africa, and Iceland. However, there were so many other places that I wish I had more time in, so that I would have been able to see more of it. Unfortunately, I traveled by public transit for most of the first half of my trip, through Spain, Italy, Croatia, Germany, and Switzerland – all of which, I vow to revisit so that I can road trip around each country, with the intent of seeing as much as they have to offer, be it the different towns, landscapes, and people. Places like Spain and France have so many different regions that have their own styles, cultures, foods, beliefs, and ways of living their lives. Plus, I think it would be so fascinating to be able to showcase an entire country, from one end to the other, through my photographic work.
I’ve road tripped through large parts of the USA, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, and Iceland, and I have to say that Iceland has the most mesmerizing overall beauty of all the list, however Scotland is a close second, for sure. I know the USA and Canada have exceedingly lovely areas as well, and you definitely can’t forget to mention Ireland here, however, I will never forget the amazing experience of traveling around Iceland and Scotland, taking in all of their natural wonderment. The next time I’m back in the UK, I would like to work with the Caravan Company and do Scotland all over again, but also travel through England and Wales, because even though I’ve been to both twice before, I’ve always traveled via the public transport system – I feel like I’m missing so much! I mean, heck, there’s the Lake District, the Peak District, and then there’s all of the gorgeous and rough coastal regions, like Devon and Cornwall.
