I decided that my blog definitely needed a bit of a revamp so here we are. I didn't change the layout too much, but I wanted something new to look at. I also changed the name of it from "Happy Travels" to "The Happy Traveler". It just fits better I think.
I thought that the way to start off on a good foot would be to showcase my favorite travel photos that I've taken over the years. First things first, I'm NOT a photographer. I have a $150 pocket-sized Nikon. I'm sure that if I had a decent camera I could take some stunning pictures of the places I visit, but I just don't want to schlep a huge paparazzi camera along with me. One of my absolute favorite pictures I've ever taken is the one above. It's from December 2010 in Vang Vieng, Laos. I took it from the window of where some friends were staying and the white and blue building on the left is the room that Al, Christa and I stayed in along the Nam Song river. I decided to put a favorite of my travel words of wisdom on it and I think it turned out pretty good! Pinterest worthy! Here are some more of my favorites:
