The Accidental Tourist

I rather be casted away on an island than caught in a traffic jam.

I rather stay in backpacker’s lodge with character than a 5 star hotel with feather pillows and cable TV

I rather dive in the ocean than climb a mountain

I rather be Ian Wright than Samantha Brown.

I rather be scanning my pictures than doing this dumb meme

A travel photographer who shares her misadventures in photography, travel and food. Yes, in that order.

Years ago, when I told my mum that I would be going on my first backpacking trip to Thailand, her reaction, short of disowning me, was “No, you’re not going. If you backpack, you will get kidnapped, get sold into a brothel and work as a prositute for the rest of your life.”

Many backpacking trips later and with the good fortune of not getting kidnapped and forced into prositution, I lived to find my passion in life what keeps me kicking. Travel and Photography. So here I am, to tell my tales of misadventures I had on the road.
