I am a spare-time travel writer, singer, and songwriter based out of Zurich, Switzerland. Originally from sunny California, I packed my bags after high school and moved to Norway to be an exchange student, a decision that would change the course of my life.

Borne out of a passion for good travel literature and landscape photography, this is my humble little endeavor to capture, remember, and share the beautiful things I’ve come across on my journeys. It’s also where you can find some of my music! Happy perusing, happy listening. —Greg

Like a pearl from the South Sea, but a tad closer to continental Europe. Walk along the seaside promenade, aptly named the Golden Mile, and you'll see why Marbella is called the playground for the world's elite. All along the waterfront, ritzy restaurants, sumptuous architecture, and romantic embarcaderos tantalize passersby with mirages of faraway escapes.

The moody, almost mournful shores of the Cape Verdean coast have launched an entire genre of music. Cape Verde's "morna" is a national heritage and explores the themes of farewell, love for the sea, and "saudade"—an emotional state of deep, melancholic longing for something or someone beloved.

Located in one of the oldest forests in the world—the biosphere reserve of Anaga—the Camino Viejo's towering moss-covered walls have become one of the most popular photo spots on Tenerife.

Tenerife's "mountain of the moon," Mount Teide, is located in the center of the island and can be reached from any corner of the island. The drive to Teide from the north takes the longest, but it's also the most scenic, as it winds through the rolling hills of Las Lagunetas. Blanketed by pine trees, it's a perfect morning stop for nature lovers.🌲

Everything is larger in Los Gigantes. Look at this big baby we got from the supermarket!
