A
Collage of Photographic Adventures.
I am the solitary
traveler: On the rare occasion when I am not traveling with my family, I travel
alone. For many, it is an inconceivable thought. But I am a loner. Time spent
alone whether at home or in a foreign country, is something I relish. More so after two disastrous attempts to veer
from, what for me, had become the norm: A solo trip to Madrid, one of my best
trips ever, happened because my friend decided to bail at the last minute. Another time, I found myself abandoned in
Amsterdam, the second stop on a three country tour: an ultimatum from her
boyfriend had my travel companion scurrying back to the U.S. He threatened to dump her, and apparently, she
couldn’t survive losing him. Both experiences cemented what I knew to be an
unmitigated truth, for me at least: some roads are best traveled alone. And some roads are best traveled with companions:
companions with shared interests: free of the drama, or idiosyncrasies that can
turn a great travel experience into a nightmare. Companions who are simply
happy to come along for the adventure. Below
is a collage of photographic adventures with my favorite travel companions.
