I travel for work and for pleasure. I like to bring a camera along wherever I travel; it makes me see even short business trips as new experiences. I love food of all sorts and experiencing new cultures. I always travel solo and occasionally by bicycle.
Sunrise over Cappadocia, from a Hot Air Balloon
Every morning we open our eyes on a new day is a lucky one, but some are more beautiful than others. I had been out late the night before and dawn didn’t seem like a good idea when I woke to my alarm in the cold dark of morning. I forgot all that, and the cold, as the sun kissed the snow-capped rock formations all along the valleys.
![Sunrise at {en:Haleakal?|Haleakala Crater} is spectacular when it isn’t cloudy at the top. My mom and I decided to get up well before dawn and risk it if the skies looked reasonably clear from the shore. After a little GPS mishap we wound our way up the windy mountain to the top, just in time for dawn. It was spectacular, as were the banana macadamia pancakes we found on the way back down.
