I love travelling. I love going to places that are so unfamiliar to me and immerse myself into its culture, take in every sight and smell. It is when I am travelling that I truly feel like I'm living.
I don't consider myself as a landscape photographer. As you can tell I'm miles away from that. And I was perfectly okay with that. This particular trip however, I wish I were. When we arrived at Grand Canyon, I was in awe at how magnificent it is. It was at that point that I wish I had the knowledge, skills and equipment to capture all that I saw and bring it back with me.
This 1 month holiday is the longest that I have ever been on. The plan was to explore Vancouver and the West Coast of USA. In 2 weeks, we visited San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, LA and Seattle. It was mostly touch and go, and I wished I had more time at every place to experience them further. Nevertheless, it was my very first time visiting all these places and I cannot tell you just how amazed and in love I was.
It is too much of a drag to talk about every single place so I'll just let the photos try to take you on the journey with me.

| The Cable Car Museum in San Francisco. It shows how the cable system works which is pretty amazing. |
 |
| Though we didn't manage to catch the game, I was not going to give the stadium a miss. |
 |
| One moment we were figuring out where to go, next moment we were monkeying around |
 |
| San Diego Zoo was really magnificent. It is so huge that there were cables cars to bring people to the further point. |
 |
| We managed to climb down towards the ledge for a spectacular view. What we saw at the edge was worth the climb; a California Condor was sitting there looking at us. |
 |
| Another climb, another ledge. This was scarier cause I felt as though the wind was going to blow me over |
 |
| There was people setting up their giant binoculars pointing at the moon and the sun. It was a unique experience. Wasn't seeing looking through them I have to say. |

| Madame Tussauds Museum in Hollywood |
 |
| This was the Seattle Underground Tour, which brought us underneath the street level to look at how the people used to walk about, when sidewalks were non-existent. |
