Man smiling in front of a mosaic

 

I’m a hobby photographer, traveler, singer, and writer based out of Zurich. Prior to Switzerland, I’ve been lucky to call Norway, USA, and China home.

This website grew out of my interests for good travel literature and photography. It’s my little endeavor to capture, remember, and share the noteworthy things I’ve stumbled across on my trips. Each post is little different: some are reflective, others are prescriptive. Some describe landscapes while others hone in on etymologies, political geography, and other minutiae which fascinate me.

Oh, and here’s also where you can find some of my music! I’m very sappy. Happy perusing, happy listening. —Greg

Scenes from Bonito town.
Some scenes from the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Its name, translated from Portuguese, means "Southern Thick Bush." Although most of its economy comes from agriculture and cattle-raising, it is also home to the world's largest wetlands, the Pantanal. Swipe for a look! 👉
Get you a fish 🐟🐠🐡🦈
One from the archives...
The water of the Sucuri River is one of the clearest in the entire world. This is because it is filtered by layers of limestone which calcify small solid particles in the water and sink them to the riverbed. Would you go for a dip here? 🤿
