Two weeks in tropical Brazil... samba dancing, late night parties, going to soccer games, eating moqueca de peixe, and drinking choppe and caiphirinas on the beach.
I spent three months in New Zealand during the winter of 2004-05, traveling, sleeping in a van, running in the mountains and generally checking out the kiwi way of life. I capped off the trip with two weeks in Australia and three weeks in Thailand. View the blog or view the photo gallery.
two weeks vacation in europe; visiting three alpine locations in the dolomites, swiss alps and french alps; sampling local wine and cuisine, running in high altitude "skyraces", and wandering around the alps to the soundtrack of ringing cowbells.
after spending 3.5 months in new zealand and australia, i switched gears and got some quality beach time in thailand. also climbed with mallory, took a cooking class in chiang mai, and jogged the dusty roads of ko lanta.
Two weeks in Australia (after New Zealand and before Thailand) snorkling in the whitsunday islands, eating fresh oysters with my uncle in Sydney and trail running in the Blue Mountains. Photos only.
