One of the best things about traveling is visiting new places and feeling inspired to take photos. As I have spent the past 1.5 years back home, I haven’t felt that inspired to take photos. While New Zealand is beautiful, my hometown was struck by a severe earthquake a few years ago and as such the city has not yet recovered – making it not very photogenic.
At the moment I have a new camera which I am still trying to learn – the Fuji x100s. I love looking throgh photos I have taken in the past as they often evoke the same memories I felt while taking them. One of the reasons I love Asia so much is that the locals are keen to interact with you. One day I would really like to get some of these photos printed and mount them in a frame (wholesaleposterframes.com have a great selection) so that I can have the photos on display around my home.
Without further ado, here are some of my favourite travel photos. You should let me know in the comments which one you prefer the most.
Cambodia:
This photo is special to me because it reminds me of the place I volunteered in Cambodia. I only went to visit for one day, hired a Tuk Tuk to take me, and on the way home it was raining and very windy. I saw this sunset out of the window of the Tuk Tuk and insisted the driver stop so I could take this photo.
Sapa, Vietnam:
I spent a few days trekking through Sapa and really fell in love with it. It’s so lush, relaxing and around every corner is a postcard picture. I really like this photo because of how the two local girls are interacting with the grass, while the tourists are just walking by.
Within Angkor Wat:
Who doesn’t love monkeys? It was so cute watching them open bananas. They actually open them from the opposite end to how most people do, which seems to be a lot easier. I love this photo because it’s so creamy in the background.
Phnom Penh:
Who could beat that lovely smile? Phnom Penh was the first place I visited in Cambodia and I really enjoyed it. This photo reminds me of my first day there, walking around, feeling a little lost and alone but loving it all the same. Phnom Penh is not a scary place – it’s a must-visit destination on any trip to Cambodia.
So there we have it, some of my favourite travel photos. What about you? Do you have any favourite travel photos. Link them to me in the comments below and I’ll check them out.
