Elmina is a small fishing village on the Gold Coast of Ghana, in West Africa. The people on the Gold Coast were very friendly, but the small village lives with a constant reminder of a dark history. It is home to a massive fortress that was used as a trade port by the British, where they stole people, gold and other resources for their new colonies in the Americas. The town (and especially inside the fortress) definitely had some weird energy. . . . #travel #africa #travelafrica #ghana #elmina #elminafort #goldcoast #fishingvillage #exploringtheglobe #beautifulplaces #history #colonialism #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
Along the Icefields Parkway through Jasper and Banff National Parks, there were so many beautiful mountains around every turn! It was difficult to be a photographer on a short road trip, as i can only think of the amazing pictures we couldn't stop to take. We can't wait to go back to the Rockies someday soon for more mountain adventures! . . . #travel #canada #jasper #icefieldsparkway #jaspernationalpark #parkscanada #alberta #travelalberta #mountains #nature #ohcanada #imagesofcanada #beautifulplaces #photography #travelalberta #livelovecanada #wanderlust #travelphotography #naturephotography #exploringtheglobe #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelblogger #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
Essaouria was one of my favourite cities in Morocco. It was a popular hippie hangout in the 1960's, and it retains this chill vibe today. The city has a old coastal fortress, and a walled Medina, where we found an antique shop selling old stereos and other trinkets. . . . #travel #morocco #africa #essaouira #antiques #stereos #moroccotravel #travelafrica #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
On Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, totora reeds are used to make everything, the floating islands, houses, boats and more. In this picture an Uro woman pulls a boat made of reeds... . . . #reeds #totora #uros #titicacalake #laketiticaca #floatingislands #puno #peru #southamerica #boat #altiplano #urosislands #travelphotography #travel #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring #pictureday #exploring #womenworking #greatmemories #keeplearning #backpacking
The best things in life are so simple. This is one of my favourite pictures from northern Italy; a group of women buying fresh vegetables at a local market in Padua. In the background you can see the Basilica of Saint Anthony. I like it because it is such a normal example of daily life. . . . #travel #italy #veneto #padua #stanthony #market #vegetables #basilica #italia #beautifulplaces #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
This is Illimani peak located just east of La Paz. It is the second highest mountain in Bolivia (6438m) and the 18th in all South America. We loved this view, especially because La Paz is 3640m above sea level, it was easy to see the top of this mountain standing high above the city. . . . #lapaz #bolivia #travelphotography #southamerica #highestpeaks #mountainrange #andes #illimani #mountainlove #travelaroundthegalaxy #travelgram #cordilleradelosandes #mountains #letsgoadventuring #snowed #wunderunders #keepthememories #backpacking #goodvibes #exploringtheglobe
Anyone else having a lazy Sunday? . When the sun comes out in Vancouver people flock to their local park. Dude Chilling Park is the perfect place to spend an afternoon when hanging out nearby Main Street, grab a growler from on of the nearby breweries and find some dudes to chill with. . . . #travel #vancouver #canada #dude #chilling #park #explorebc #parksvancouver #parkscanada #parklife #vancouverbc #eastvan #photography #britishcolumbia #vancouvercanada #livelovecanada #dailyviewbc #travelphotography #dudechillingpark #traveltheworld #beautifulplaces #park #travelpics #travelphoto #travelgram #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
Exploring the east side of Cozumel requires a car or scooter to explore, as there is no public transport to this side of the island. There are some beautiful beaches and rocky outcrops worth visiting but because of the waves and rough currents, it is not the best place for swimming. It is still a nice secluded place to enjoy the sunshine and escape the crowds on the island . . . #travel #cozumel #caribbean #mexico #islandlife #vivemexico #beautifulplaces #nature #island #isla #islacozumel #marcaribe #photography #naturephotography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
There are so many Mayan Ruins within the Yucatan Peninsula and just a few of them are popular. For all of those travelers that want an off the beaten track experience we recommend to visit Muyil which is an archeological site just outside of Tulum going south. We stopped by this place on our way back from Bacalar and no one else was there, we had the entire place for ourselves! This ruins are in the middle of the jungle and we kept walking to the end of the path and found a pretty sweet lagoon part of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve; this is a highly recommended visit... . . . #muyil #mayanruins #undiscovered #mayanculture #mayan #yucatanpeninsula #vivemexico #exploring #tulum #rivieramaya #travelaroundthegalaxy #travel #letsgoadventuring #traveltheworld #travelphotography #travelgram #historic #jungle #adventuretimes #wonderlust #wanderer #naturelovers #outdoors #nofilterneeded
We took this picture when we were at Lake Louise looking up the mountain these trees had a bit of snow on top but we love the contrast of the blue sky and the white snow on the trees. It was a cold sunny day and there was huge icicles everywhere! . . . #icicles #travelphotography #snow #rockymountains #canadianrockies #lakelouise #alberta #canada #coldfall #earlywinter #letsgoadventuring #travelaroundthegalaxy #adventureday #roadtrip #banffnationalpark #canadaparks #outdoorlovers #naturephotography #naturedoesntneedafilter
This was tonight’s sunset -beautiful and unique as always - from Cozumel on our way to catch the ferry. No matter how many sunsets we see, we always enjoy watching the last sunlight disappear before another day ends... . . . #sunset #beautifulsunshine #cruiseship #cozumel #cruises #caribbeansea #sunsetlovers #sunsetchaser #caribbeanisland #mexico #quintanaroo #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring #anotherdayinparadise #ilivewhereyouvacation #travelphotography #adventuretime #deck
Playa del Carmen is a hip beachside town on the Caribbean coast of Mexico and has some incredible street art hidden around the city. This is one of our favourites, near the phone repair shop. . . . #travel #mexico #streetart #grafitti #reflection #art #playadelcarmen #quintanaroo #caribbean #rivieramayamexico #yucatan #rivieramaya #streetartchat #mexicanstreetart #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #letsgoadventuring
