Quick Thoughts

Arizona is a roadtripping photographerโ€™s dream destination, as one hops from panoramic desert terrains and jaw-dropping canyons, to starlit nights and lush forests, all within a dayโ€™s drive. For that reason, a couple buddies and I decided to roadtrip through northern Arizona. I spent my entire childhood in the state, but it took me leaving to realize how stunning & diverse Arizona truly is. Come visit, you wonโ€™t regret it!

Key Highlights

Things to Know

  • I went right around Christmas time which means you beat the crowds, but make sure to bring a thick jacket. Northern Arizona gets quite chilly!

  • Donโ€™t bring a drone - theyโ€™re not allowed in the national parks (as of this writing). It didnโ€™t stop some folks from flying them around Horseshoe Bend, but take my advice: donโ€™t be That Guy. No one likes That Guy. That Guyโ€™s mother doesnโ€™t even like That Guy.

Quick Thoughts

8 days, 27+ hours and 1,700+ km driving on the left side of the road. It was a daunting task especially traveling and driving solo..but Audible and Spotify were my best friends on this trip! By the way, Ireland is the definition of rain..LOTS of rain, but I grew to love it.

Key Highlights

  • See my collection of Instagram Stories from the trip!

  • The Ring of Kerry, Skellig Ring and Dingle Peninsula drives

  • Gap of Dunloe - Strickeen Mountain impromptu hike

  • Red deer sightings (in Killarney National Park), Irish ponies (near Cliffs of Moher) and sheep sightings (everywhere)

  • Glendalough south of Dublin, the town of Cobh, Cliffs of Moher

Things to Know

  • Driving is on the left side of the road. Kinda fun actually, once you get past the whole โ€œI may accidentally end up on the wrong side of the roadโ€ nerves. Ha. Ha ha..

  • Bring a raincoat. Assume it will rain non-stop, but donโ€™t let it ruin your trip! The calm after the storms lended itself to some of the most breathtaking views of Ireland.

  • Facts. There are more sheep than people in Ireland. Okay I donโ€™t know if thatโ€™s true, but it sure felt that way.
