What do you call a person who is obsessed with Spain? A Spainophile? A Spainaholic? A Spainophyte? (A google search of spainophyte resulted in a result that asked whether I meant “sporophyte,” “The spore-producing phase in the life cycle of a plant that exhibits alternation of generations.”) Either way, for [...]

With TheExpeditioner’s flickr group growing, it’s getting harder to decide between all the stunning snapshots. So, to give credit where due, TheExpeditioner would like to share the other photos that were under consideration for April’s Photo Contest. With no introduction necessary, April’s Photo Contest Finalists were, and in no specific order: [...]

It’s a car, it’s a bug, it’s an Olympic celebration on four wheels. Underneath all that, we’ve discovered it’s even more than any of those things. We are psyched to announce Jules Andre Brown as the winner of our April Travel Photo Contest with his photo titled, “Love Bug.”  As Jules explains: This was shot [...]

It was either Kierkegaard or Elvis Costello that once said, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture — it’s a really stupid thing to want to do.” Perhaps the same could be said of writing about India, a country so vast and diverse that no words could do it [...]

Sometimes, things just simply work out. Not often, but sometimes. When this month’s winner, Diego Cupolo, was out on the streets of Caracas, Venezuela, that’s exactly what happened. Here’s how Diego describes this month’s winner: That photo is one of personal favorites from my recent trip to Caracas. Basically, I [...]

Wow. If you haven’t been to our flickr group yet, I suggest you head over there. We asked for great travel photography and you have answered in a big way. Unfortunately for us, it makes our job far tougher when the end of the month rolls around and we have to [...]

I was handed a book recently, and, let’s be honest, books that are given to me have to be good given my propensity towards restlessness. It’s titled “Double Take: A Memoir.” I never heard of it, or the author before, so I sat down and gave it the ol’ “fifty-page [...]

Our first month of venturing into the world of travel photography is off to a great start, and choosing a winner amongst all the excellent submissions, as Matt put it, “is harder than I thought.” This month’s winner comes from Jonny Gilbert, titled ”Sunset at the Drum Tower.” What do we think? We dug [...]

We love to share our own photos of the incredible places we’ve been, but, inevitably, we are inundated with 78 pictures of Matt tanning himself on a beach with some kind of native foliage head wrap. To cure that problem, we’ve decided to launch our very own group on the photography website, Flickr.com, and invite all [...]

Of Nepal’s 26,000,000 people, there are more than 100 different ethnic groups speaking 93 different languages and dialects. Perhaps better known to the outside world for its impressive mountains, what ends up towering far over Everest and friends, are those 26 million living in its shadows. This Pology photo spread, incredibly [...]
