Wild Encounters

Mattias Klum is a Swedish photographer for National Geographic. I’ve followed his work for quite a few years now and just discovered that he also likes to share his wild experiences on YouTube. As for National Geographic “Live”, Klum describes his encounter with a female lion and how he ended put with a beautiful portrait.

In my recent travels to South Africa, I had the opportunity to become awes-inspired and would love to share some of my photos with you.

A Journey to Cape Town

I recently returned from a trip to Cape Town in South Africa. I’m not going to lie, if I had to describe the journey was one word, it would literally be “epic”. And I’m not talking about the overused term epic as this was very inspirational and self-enhancing. Traveling is also fun and exciting for me as part of the experience is meeting new people. I won’t go into detail but I met a cool mens fashion photographer from NYC, a luxurious mom and two sons from Brazil and a really bratty Swiss girl. That’s one thing about my whole trip that was really odd. On my safari at Inverdoorn game reserve just a few hours from Cape Town, there was a traveler from Sweden who kept complaining about everything! The heat, the bumpy roads…it’s a SAFARI in Africa! What in the world were you expecting??? You just cannot satisfy everyone. Besides that, I have now touched down on 4 continents…just two more to go and I now total at 22 countries.

I have over 20GB of photos to sort though, but you will see them (eventually).

The Value of Travel

I absolutely love this TEDx talk by Rick Steves. And as part of my new years resolutions, I will be heading to South Africa at the end of January. I cannot wait to explore and discover the wonders of that region of the world. You can bet there I will have a plethora of photos coming!
