From backcountry skiing to bouldering, there is plenty of fun to be had in the Southwest, where I make my home. A personal gallery.
Fiji and Tahiti - November 2007
Two weeks in Fiji and a week in Tahiti afforded a fantastic introductory tour to the South Pacific, including diving with sharks, kayaking through mangroves, and jumping off waterfalls.
Botswana and Namibia - May 2007
On this two-and-a-half-week trip, I flew into Zambia to see Victoria Falls, traveled overland through Botswana, explored the giant red sand dunes of Namibia, and visited a special conservation area in South Africa.
Heli-skiing in British Columbia - April 2007
A five-day heli-skiing trip in the Adamants of British Columbia with a group of kick-ass women skiers.
A sixteen-day trip through the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, including trekking, visiting remote monasteries, and watching colorful dance festivals.
A week-long backpacking trip through Wrangell-St. Elias National Park with Trek Alaska guide Greg Fensterman and Anchorage-based photographer Matt Hage. We covered three passes, two glaciers, countless icy streams, and plenty of stunning vistas.
Two weeks is hardly enough to see South Africa, but it's a start. It got me to Johannesburg, the wilds of the Highveld, the wildlife-packed Manyeleti Reserve next to Kruger National Park, and Cape Town.
Skiing the Wapta Traverse, Canada - April 2006
A five-day hut-to-hut ski tour of the Wapta Icefields on the British Columbia/Alberta border.
A ten-day trip to Italy's Dolomites for spring skiing, gnocchi eating, vino drinking and R&R.
Photographs, especially mine, don't do this place justice, but here are a few snapshots from my week-long stay.
My mother, a pediatrician for an adoption agency, invited me along on a two-week trip, during which ten sets of American parents picked up ten perfect little Chinese girls. After the parents went home, we traveled to Lijiang and Yangshuo.
A three-week trip complete with climbing and lounging in the sun on the Andaman Coast, three days diving the reefs of Phi Phi Island, a visit to a tropical rain forest, a Thai cooking class, countless temples, and a stop in the hectic capital city.
