Venice | Italy :: City On The Sea
Arriving in Venice, Italy we were ready to explore the enchanting canals architecture and alleyways while slurping down spaghetti, espressos and gelato! A photographer’s paradise was discovered around each bend; each with more obscure plazas dotted with bougainvilleas on balconies. We could have spent an entire week roaming around Venice, the world’s only pedestrian city, [...] -

Amberg | Germany :: Bratwurst & Beers In Bavaria

Dubai | UAE :: Land of a Thousand Lights
Although we have been to Dubai numerous times, we still enjoy the occasional lively ‘city’ feel and love to hang out with family and friends each time that we are there.
